    So I have been to Sawatdee many times but not lately as I am tired of the service. I decided to give it a try so this visit we ordered an appetizer and two main dishes!! Both main dishes were chicken and for some reason the one I ordered came with dark meat, which never ever seen in a Thai restaurant. I couldn’t finish my dish because of the dark meat and the chicken came with a piece of fat, they didn’t even bother to cut that fat out, see picture for a proof. The place doesn’t have air conditioner so be prepared to sweat unless you can handle 85 degrees. Another thing was the furniture, it was disgustingly dirty, see picture. Also they got rid of their robot or they were trying to save some energy. I’m done with this place until they fix their business, their food and atmosphere. I’d absolutely recommend you try a new place.

    First time ordering from here. My boyfriend ordered the Holy Basil ($15) and we paid an extra $3 for extra shrimp and extra chicken but there was not a single piece of chicken and barely any shrimp. Wondering if they mixed up our order with someone else’s but it’s extremely disappointing. We also paid extra for chicken (another $3) in our hot and sour soup that were tiny pieces that tasted extremely dry. Our wontons were cold and weirdly tasted stale, like as of it’s so dry it’s crumbled in my mouth. How is that even possible?? Ended up throwing it out. What a waste of money. I’ve honestly eaten subpar food, never send food back, usually just roll with it and am not one to complain but there was just so much wrong for the high price point that I had to write a review to warn others.

    The best Green curry chicken in town! So delicious and tasty with ginormous slices of jalapeños, super spicy 🌶 just the way I like it! 🍲🍲😋 And talk about the chicken in it, big chunks, tender and juicy and I mean CHICKEN! Ok! 🍗🍗😋 Not thin slices of chicken breast, but dark and white all of it! I am staffed! I was planning on getting some spring rolls, but the tummy said lest wait till next time! Haha! And I am coming back for them. And I got the same feedback on the Panang Curry as well from my partner, first time visit 2 items of their menu. Definitely worth visiting again! If you are in the area, try it! 👍🏽👍🏽🍲❤️😋

    Decent place for Thai/Japanese food. Nothing mind blowing. For that reason, I think it is slightly overpriced. Portion size is filling. They did have some interesting dishes like the Sarong Sawatdee Special. They have an entertaining robot. I don't understand the point of it since a human waiter takes your order and serves the food that the robot shuttles to and from the kitchen. The ambiance is kinda dark, if you're into that. Sufficiently quiet to have a conversation without shouting. Service was fast and staff was friendly. Overall a good experience.

    By far the worst pick up experience I have ever had. First off. I got the catfish for my parents and this is what I got. A tiny piece of catfish on top of some steamed vegetables for almost 20 DOLLARS! It was almost inedible and already I felt scammed. The cashew stew was another let down. Cashews fell apart and had no crunch. The beef tasted old and had no flavor, very low quality meat. The stew was 3/10, wouldn’t touch it again. The highlight was the green bean and chicken stew. Pretty good stew, but it only shined in comparison to the rest of this meal. 6/10 I wasn’t going to put this negative review up since I asked for a refund. But with the hurdles I had to jump through for 2 weeks to request a refund just to NEVER GET MY MONEY BACK really left a sour taste with this restaurant. The bottom line is the food is just not good. And charging ridiculous prices for bad food is a recipe for disaster. I have lived around maple grove for awhile and you have much better options for Asian cuisine than this place. And even if you didn’t like it, you won’t get your money back. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS.

  • 3/5 Surabhi S. 5 years ago on Google
    I and four other friends went there for lunch. We love Thai food so our standards and taste buds are pretty particular about Thai cuisine. For 5 people, we ordered Fried Chicken Wings, pork Pad Thai, pork Thai Fried Rice, the Holy Basil Supreme, and Tom Yum soup, out of which two of the entrees came with a side of rice each. The Holy Basil Supreme was the performer of the day and the Tom Yum was a close second. The Pad Thai was good, however, the fried rice was actually disappointing. The portions were good for what we ended up paying!

    Went here with a friend who suggested this place since she loved the food here. And I couldn’t agree more on that! Such a sweet staff and the food was packed with flavors!😍 Classic pad Thai with tofu in this picture below!

    Thai food for white people. I got the Rama thai delight spice 4/5. A curry. With some sushi and appetizer sampler. They brought it all at the same time so my main dish got cold. It's not thai spice levels so I didn't really feel any heat at all. The peanuts were very overwhelming and was not good. Only good side is it looks very pretty. Both the restuarant and the plating. Not gonna come here again.

    This place is really interesting! It had a robot that delivers food to you and they also have servers. The robot can’t bring liquids to you so the server is watching to see if you need refills or need anything else. Our server was attentive and I liked how she checked in with us a couple times to make sure that we were doing alright. I think this place specializes in Thai food but my table ordered maki sushi rolls. For a place that doesn’t specialize in sushi, the rolls were pretty good. I also got fried vegetarian spring rolls and they were good.

    Good fresh spring rolls, good ginger stir fry, hubs loved the spicy noodles with beef. Server was very friendly. Could have used a refill on ice tea but that was my only complaint. Overall very good experience.

    Amazing food every time. And service is always great. Today's server was very patient with us in helping to customize dishes and try new things on the menu that we had not tried before.

    The establishment itself is nice. And the waiting staff are kind people. They establishment has low lighting, music, and interesting decorative pieces throughout. And a little robot (Dee-Dee) who brings out the food. For an appetizer, we had the fresh spring rolls. They were quite nice. They contained cilantro, lettuce, rice noodle, carrot, chicken, and shrimp. The spring rolls came with a side of dipping sauce. I had the wonton soup, which was very delicious. My wonton soup choice contained chicken, Chinese cabbage, cilantro, spices, and what could've been a large chunks of onion. I also purchased the Laab Esan(#28). I did not like the flavor of this dish. The flavor wasn't for me. The Laab Esan contained chopped beef with lemon juice, cilantro, and green onion.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND! First time having Tai food so I might not be the best judge of that style of food but it tasted amazing. The servers didn't come back as much as I would like but they were extremely friendly and nice. My only other complaint was that it was pretty hot in there but it wasn't so bad that it was unbearable.

    I personally found the meals all too sweet and not flavorful like Thai style which was disappointing.

  • 5/5 Hailie O. 1 year ago on Google
    This is mine and my partner’s favorite restaurant (the Maple Grove location, specifically-the other locations are no match). The service is phenomenal and genuine, the food hits amazingly every single time. The owner and other staff are so welcoming and friendly that it keeps us as happy and returning customers. We go there several times a month and I have never been disappointed or dissatisfied. When people ask what my favorite food is, I say the fresh, regular spring rolls from Sawatdee, a close second is the beef pho from, you guessed it, Sawatdee. This establishment is and will forever be my favorite, could not speak any higher of it.

    Ordered roast duck curry. 1. Not ROASTED duck. Skin was still yellow. 2. Tasted like chicken but they insisted it was duck. Twice. (Duck has a pungent smell if you haven't had it) 3. Feathers were not removed. It was disgusting. I would say 1/3 as it was technically curry but I'm docking the 1 for the feathers. 0/3

    Food was delicious, service was attentive! Ordered 4 different entrees, spring rolls, and mango sticky rice - everything tasted great.

    Used to come here more often but for some reason it had been 6 years since I was last here. Food - this is where they shine the most. The food was fantastic just as I remember. Egg rolls were great and the panang curry with chicken was like stepping back in time. I am glad they still use chicken thigh meat. Portions have gotten a little smaller than they used to be. But I was more than satisfied so no issues there. Drinks - A little disappointed. We ordered a few beers, they were not fresh tasting. They had some off flavors that were with due to stale beer in the keg or tap lines are not as clean as they should be. I will not be getting tap beer here next time. Service - Overall happy. A little slow to get our first two beers we ordered. But the server was the only server there at the time and also did the bartending.. So he was busy and was doing fine. He was courteous and friendly. Came to the table to check on us and got the check quickly when we asked. Atmosphere - this is where they need some drastic improvement. When I was last here 6 years ago the decor was shabby and tired. Nothing has changed.. Even more shabby and mostly asleep now. Feels dark and in dire need of a makeover. Please do something to make the dining experience better. As good as the food is the decor makes me want to go someplace else. Overall 4 stars. The atmosphere really needs a huge update and should pull my rating even lower. But the food is so good I am only deducting 1 star.
