Reviews of Sawaddee Thai Restaurant (Restaurant)

Rielly Botsch

Small quiet byob Thai on hope. Fast service. Kinda of weird layout inside but food is tasty! A bit pricey for the portions you are getting.

Rory Stott

One of my favourite restaurants in town. I love Thai food and the food here is tasty and the service good.

Jessica MacNeill

Carl Barton

Kelly Payne

Small but their food is delicious. It is byob.

Eduardo Maurizi

Excellent food and service. Everything very well prepared and presented

Alex Loosley

Good at lunch, but not worth the price for dinner.

Diane Pesaturo

Awesome Thai food! This restaurant has the best Thai cuisine cooked in the traditional way. Nice atmosphere and service is always super friendly. I highly recommend the Tom Yum soup and green curry...both are delicious though I have never had a bad dish here. No other Thai restaurant in Providence can compete as far as I am concerned. My go-to spot for Thai!

Dave Fan

best thai restaurant in providence if not all of new england, it's a small building so expect to wait during busy hours

Steve Barnes

Got delivery from here. Wow... save yourself some money and do not order from here. There was no flavor in anything.... everything just tasted bland and like nothing. Also got an order of the steamed dumplings and was never so disappointed in anything. There were three small (sphere- size of a quarter maybe) dumplings in an order, which cost 6 bucks. Terrible terrible terrible

Max Weber

As good, and better than most Thai food that I have had in the US.

Very, very great restaurant. The interior and service feels very homelike, and the food is great. One neat thing was when I ordered their "wild curry," and they not only asked if I was sure (because, well, it was super spicy), but they actually brought out a small sample of the curry sauce itself so I could get a feel of what I'd be dealing with! Of course, the curry was great. 10/10

Volkaeno

The worst Thai food I've ever had

George Reuther

Home made food nice soup

Owen Colby

Wish the portions were larger for curry dishes. The Pad See Ew is very good.

Nathan Stuckey

Fantastic, authentic Thai. I had nam sod which was delicious and had the right amount of ginger. My wife had the Bangkok curry and loved it, said it tasted just like it did in Thailand (I liked it too, there was too much for her, portions are generous). We had the fresh spring rolls beforehand which were notable for having mint; it made them super refreshing. Just great food all around! Edit: just saw that so many other reviews think the portions are small??? I can only surmise that Providence restaurants spoil their customers because these portions were just fine. The sticky rice is only 1.75 which is super reasonable IMO.

Mackenzie Butler

Way too overpriced for what you get. Close to $3 for ONE ping pong ball sized, freezer-burned mochi ice cream, and almost $7 for the tiniest serving of mango sticky rice I've ever seen. Almost exactly 1x1in. in size. Absolutely ridiculous.

Chun Tam

Food taste good and authentic. A bit pricey due to the location, up to par to other restaurants in the area.

Michael Neas

Good food

I ordered carry out here via grub hub and was extremely disappointed. WARNING: if you order a curry dish it does NOT come with the rice. You can imagine how frustrated I was when I opened my bag and didn't see the rice that should have accompanied my entree. I called Sawadee (thinking they had just forgotten to include it). Nope. Sadly their curry dishes only come with rice for an extra two dollars!!! This is the most nonsensical thing I have ever heard. When the manager said this to me I explained how I found it to be misleading because nowhere was it mentioned on their menu that this is not included, and that it's quite strange that a curry would not automatically come with the very base you should be eating it with. She was very rude and responded that "not everyone wants carbohydrates". True, but you're going to charge someone a hefty $2 for those who want what should be a standard in a dish? Additionally, the portions was quite small. I will not be ordering from here again.

Mustafa ÇAY

Nice Thai

Phill Correia

Good noodles, great sauce and appetizers. Atmosphere is nice, like eating at a friends house. Curry and rice options are plentiful.

patrick blair

My food came out a long time before my friends

Chris Corrado

Pretty good food, fast, and super cheap.

Ashish Gupta

Very frustrating experience, we ordered masaman curry and noodles and ended up getting curry without rice, which place sells curry without rice and don’t even tell you till you get it just a bowl of curry.

Ed Sirya

Great food! Amazing curry! Small intimate, feel.

Yanna Mam

The food was okay. It was certainly over priced for the portion that was served.

Kellina McKenna

This was the worst "Thai" place I've ever been too!! The food portions were small and over priced and not even authentic Thai food. The workers there are not even Thai, the service was slow, and the women said a rude comment to me when I gave her a small tip. The food was terrible, I am Asian and I know what real Thai food should taste like, this may be a good place to American people, but its because they don't know any better.

Tom Pesaturo

This is my favorite Thai restaurant. The food is wonderful and the staff attentive. The owner is very friendly and always ready to make your dinner experience wonderful. My favorite is the chicken tom yam soup...4 stars! This is authentic Thai food...vibrant, flavorful and full of spice. If you're looking for fantastic and authentic Thai food look no further than Sawaddee!

Richard Shulman

Food was excellent. Service was attentive. Small in size but cozy and quiet.

Peng Chen

Worst attitude.

Kanitta Chartvutkorbkul

It was my first time here. I'm Thai. I ordered for Thai Steamed Curry Fish and grilled chicken with garlic and white rice. These two dishes were pretty good and authentic. I wish they have a coconut milk for mango and sticky rice.

Xu YiFeng

I like there because the food is good and I like to order rice separate this way I will not have too much rice.

Jennifer Wilson

I couldn't have bananas with honey bc they didn't want to deep fry anything @9 when they close at 10. Then the server walk up and ask if she could take her tip that I had laid beside my glass. I was just finishing up my coke after my meal. I couldn't believe it.

So yummy !

Wyatt O'Connell

Poor service, took far to long to bring us food and check. The owner was very rude to my girlfriend and I within earshot of the other customers in this cramped and small restaurant demanding a better tip than the fair sum we gave her.

JIMNI CRICKET

Smallest amount of green curry ever. When I received my meal I almost assumed they had a lunch deal or I would be billed for a half order. For only half a cup of curry with no meat it was pretty overpriced. I wish I went some where else :\

PaulaSue atManpafarmers

Excellent vegetable soup and excellent fried wontons. Cute place . Excellent service!

Portions are a little small and its slightly over priced.. But it is delicious! I have brought many friends here for the first time and they have all loved it. Cute little restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food. I highly recommend the mango curry!

Richard Hintz

Summary based on 1 dinner: --ok Thai food for Providence --not especially authentic without some discussion that you really mean it --ok prices --easy parking in the evening

Sarah Ann Ferguson

I just had

Neil Anderson

Very nice people, awesome masamon curry with sticky rice.

Victoria Pesaturo

Sawadee is hands down the best Thai food in providence the owner is wonderful and the food is traditional and delicious

Andy Seitz

One of the worst Thai food dinners I have had, and I've had a lot of Thai food and been to Thailand. The edamame beans appetizer was cold and tasteless. The Pra Rahm peanut dinner arrived mostly cold and it went downhill from there. The chicken was tasteless... Possibly just steamed or heated in a microwave. The vegetables seemed reheated from frozen, also appearing just like I get from the frozen section at Costco. The peanut sauce was cold and, being necessary to add flavor, there wasn't much of it. The place was a bit cramped - some might say it was cozy. If you sit near the door, be prepared for a cold draft every time the door is opened.

Chris Pepper

Authentic family style Thai Dishes

Clarke Morrison

Some of the best Thai food around, and there's plenty of competition.

Amanda prachanronarong

I've been going here for over 15 years, and the food and prices have stayed consistent and tasty! I personally love going for lunch because the lunch specials include Tom Yum and a solid sized plate of food for around $10. You definitely get your money's worth and the food is healthy and tasty! Just keep in mind, almost all Thai dishes use fish sauce, so even though Thai food has a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, it just won't taste the same if you have to omit ingredients, but they will definitely do it for you!

Scott Collins

Always the best

Suzy Kim

Very good food with lovely quaint atmosphere. Rice and soup are additional charge, so look out for that.

Jim Lafleur

Did not like it I love Thai food

Rambo Hirose

They have a lot of traditional but uniquely dishes.

Charon Rose

Small spot with good food.

Jiji Sunisa Akara

Home sweet home. It's made by real Thai people and it shows in the taste of the food which tastes pretty authentic. I love 'make your own' curry noodle!

Vivian Wasserman

I ordered a pad se ew and steamed dumpling.... Both were very tasty, I did not give it a 5 star rating because it is true ( about another review ) the portions are small.... Other than that definitely order out... PS it's a cute cosy place but large parties won't fit... That does not mean don't order... Definitely do!

Beverly Tai

Came here for lunch. Portions were smaller than what I am used to from a Thai restaurant but we were provided soup which was a nice plus. Overall good experience.

Eksalack Oudomsouk

Very yummy! Should try.

Teng Li

Nice restaurant, perfect food, perfect service provide by a handsome Asian boy!!!!!!!

S Çlårk

Never been treated more rudely in a restaurant in my life. Our server was exceptionally polite, but the manager/owner came to our table on a busy night and asked us to leave before we had finished eating. We were taking our time, but she wanted to turn over the table quickly. I know it's a small space, but nothing justifies treating customers so rudely.

David Allgeier

Great green curry!

Ron Barron

This place is popular and judging by the quality of the food I can see why. The service was a bit slow, and I can see why more persnickety reviewers might complain. But I love me some BYOB and this is one of my favorite places for it.

Irving Guzman

Food was tasty, enjoyed my visit

Yining Fan
