      Placed a to-go order yesterday prior to their afternoon closing time (3pm). Pick-up was smooth and easy.
      The food was packaged in a good quality container.
      I ordered Thai Hot Drunken Noodles and a pot stickers appetizer.
      Drove from midtown to Elk Grove and my food was still nice and hot.
      The food itself was very tasty. I've gone to a couple of places searching for spicy and tasty drunken noodles and have been disappointed. This was not the case at Sawasdee! The Thai Hot wasn't as spicy as I've experienced at Thai Terrace, but it was still spicy and delicious! The pot stickers were as you would expect. They were good too, but I wasn't overly excited about them. The quality of the drunken noodles is what sold me. I would 100% order again and recommend this restaurant

      Tried Sawasdee for the first time this past Friday for a late lunch/early dinner. We were greeted immediately and seated. We ordered a couple of items. My boyfriend has been here before and he wanted me to try the Kai Soi Gai. We got it with pork. We also got the chicken yellow curry and crab fried rice. We were the only ones dining in at the time, so the food came out really quick.

      The Khao "Kao" Soi Gaiwas good! Perfect amount of sweetness from the curry and loved all the pickled veggies in the dish. It is a nice portion too. The crab fried rice was decent. I thought it could have used some more spice since it was on the plain side. It's not a big deal, but the dish only had two slices of tomatoes when that's one of the ingredients in the fried rice. The yellow curry was what I actually was craving. No complaints about the taste as it met all the requirements. My only thing is maybe the portion size of it? I thought it was on the smaller side. Usually at places I have a good amount of leftover curry, but didn't really have that here.

      Overall, I think this is a great place to have Thai food and the atmosphere is very nice and welcoming. Would recommend you to come try it out when you're in downtown.

      I will say this is one of the better Thai restaurants I have been to but still left something lacking

      The pad Thai was overly sauced, a little goopy, and too sweet. The fried spring rolls were drenched in oil. The only thing we enjoyed was the pineapple fried rice.

      The restaurant was nice, decor was pretty, and service was average. Feel like there are better places out there.

      This was one of the only places open on our drive home from the mountain and I'm so glad we stopped by! There are plenty of tables inside, but no one else since it was so late, so we were seated and ordered quickly.
      We got the vegetable fresh spring rolls, green curry with tofu, pad see ew, fried rice, and mango sticky rice. The spring rolls were super fresh and it came with two sauces, which were both tasty! The pad see ew and fried rice were also delicious! The noodles and rice weren't mushy and there was a good amount of vegetables and protein in both. The green curry was tasty, but if you are sensitive to spice don't get it. It was a little spicier than I thought it'd be.
      For dessert we got the mango sticky rice. I didn't really enjoy this dish because the mango wasn't ripe. Maybe it would be better if the mango was ripe.

      The service was great upon arrival. The food was delicious off of flavor alone. We order the yellow curry and spicy rice along with the Thai tea and coffee. 10/10 recommend this place to friends. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. I would definitely go again!

      I really liked my lunch here. As always when dining Thai restaurants I order Thai tea. This one came in a nice mason mug and the tea checked out :) the satay chicken was good and I loved the vegetable salad. I had the green curry with rice. It was spicy but I couldn't stop eating it lol The decor is great. Overall really solid Thai spot.

      Decided that I would try the new dish, the Avocado Green Curry, and my partner would get a spin on a classic, the Crab Pad Thai.

      We started with the calamari which was fairly bland but the tangy sauce made up for lack of flavor in the batter. Pieces of calamari felt fresh and were more like "fries" so more breading to meat ratio, which is not my preference.

      The Avocado Green Curry was quite superb but spicy, even when indicating mild spice please :) For the non adventurous eater that I am, I found the spice to be able to be cut nicely with the warm avocados in the dish and the generous side of rice. The portion was huge and could nicely be shared between two people.

      Boyfriend wanted his Crab Pad Thai spicy and they sure brought the heat. Very tasty but light on crab meat as scrambled eggs supplemented the main protein. Overall, nothing spectacular about the pad thai but everything did feel fresh.

      They have a small beer and wine list but we stuck with water this time.

      Is definitely worth grabbing takeout from as ambiance is a little basic, but service was nice and quick.

      What a pleasant surprise I stumbled on while in beautiful downtown Sacramento.

      So, I came across Sawasdee Thai Cuisine since it was within walking distance from my hotel and I was craving Thai food for dinner.
      Thanks to all the great Yelp reviews I ended up choosing this restaurant over any others and I'm glad I did!

      Atmosphere, I would say this is probably one of the cutest little Thai restaurants I've been to.
      There are plenty of inside tables and a cute outdoor patio for seating during the summertime.

      My deep-fried fish was delicious and thanks to the waitress recommending the dish.

      Looks like I found my favorite Thai restaurant in Sacramento.

      5 Stars for reasonably priced & delicious food and for friendly service.

      I'll be back!
      Enjoy and Bon Appétit.

      I ordered take out for dinner. It was a holiday so the restaurant wasn't very busy but I was impressed that my food was still very hot when I got home, even after running an additional errand. Thank you Sawasdee! I was impressed!

      I ordered Basil rice, Pas Thai and green curry. Everything was divine! Delish! And I have enough for 2 more meals. They definitely give generous portions!

      When I'm in town, I'm coming here again! Yom!
