If you want to try authentic Thai food, this place is fantastic! The beef curry was amazing which definitely tasted homemade to me. The chicken laab was good however, I did notice that there were a bunch of onions in there was wasn't expected, I would have preferred just a bit more meat. The papaya salad was mediocre however, didn't have every much going on for me so I didn't care too much for it. The pad Thai was more of a sweeter dish than other pad Thai's that I've tried which I actually really enjoyed. The fried rice was great especially throwing curry on top of it. Our server was friendly however, our entire time there, even though it wasn't very busy, we had only gotten our drinks refilled once which was not very pleasing as the food did have a good kick to is as well as having good portions of salt causing thirst. Overall, the experience was above average and I definitely will go again if I'm in the mood for Thai food!

My partner and I were so excited to come eat at Sawatdee St. Cloud, now under management and ownership of Annie and Adrienne! We didn’t expect to sit down and enjoy the tastiest Thai food of our lives thus far. (Obviously we’ll be back for more!) The atmosphere is super chill, vintage, and has personal style. The music was a sweet treat. Some nice Thai pop and smooth jazz. Sue’s Egg Rolls are the BEST egg rolls either of us have ever had. They were perfection. The fresh vegetarian spring rolls were amazing as well. The subtle chewiness of the wrap and noodles inside and the crunchiness of the fresh veggies, all ties together with the yummy semi-sweet peanut sauce for a deliciously light appetizer. We both got the Sweet Green Curry Chicken at a heat level 3/5. It was the perfect amount of spice for us. Grandma might prefer level 1. 😌 The rice was cooked to perfection and the curry was so flavorful and creamy. The veggies were soft but still had a delightful crunch to them. The chicken was tender and great quality as well. We finished the meal off with the Sawatdee Strawberry Sundae (also available in chocolate and caramel) complete with chopped peanuts and their famous sweet sticky rice. This was the perfect way to cool our tongues after the delicious spiciness. Huge portion and amazing taste was worth the price. I was hesitant to try ice cream with rice but oh my goodness it is heaven in a bowl. Tl;dr: Quality fresh ingredients and perfected recipes make Sawatdee a St. Cloud MUST try- again and again and again.

Not a bad place. We were seated right away once we entered. The first dish I ordered was the Panaeng beef curry. I ordered with the spiciest they could make it. The green peppers were the main spice but sadly they only add chili powder that is not spicy at all. So I would say this is American level spicy which is spicy like red pepper flakes. Second I ordered the pad Thai with beef. The portion is great but sadly the protein portion is not that great. There were like 5 thin pieces of beef in there. I wish they could give more beef because noodles & Co gives the same portion with a whole top layer of the bowl of protein for the same price. I like that it was very saucy though. Sadly for a Thai restaurant, the food is catered towards the American community. So do not expect anything to actually be spicy. Overall, great staff and food. I would definitely go for a few more visits to try the rest of the menu.

The food is always fantastic and the service is just as good.

Lots of authentic flavor and spice. Everything was really fresh.

It can take a while to get your food, so make sure you visit when you have time to spare. They offer vegetarian options. You can choose the level of spice as they have a scale of 1 to 5. Order a 4 or 5 if you want a kick!

The green curry with chicken was delicious. I had the pad Thai with chicken and it was the best I have ever had, we will return every time we are in St. Cloud.

Everything was fabulous! We had the Coconut soup with shrimp, fresh rolls, spring rolls, peanut curry dish, Thai iced tea & sticky rice. I would love to see 1 open in Baraboo, WI!!!

Always good. Simple buffet.

Panang beef curry level 4 is one of the best things I have eaten, order with sticky rice.

This spot is my preferred one. I visit a lot of restaurants but to this place I go the most. The stuff is very friendly and the cooking they serve is so delicious. I never decline to have a good dinner in this place. Highly recommended.

Okay place

Great Thai food

Love the food and the service!

Not authentic Thai food. But this is the only Thai restaurant in the town.

TLDR: If you're looking for decent Thai and willing to pay a little extra, this place is pretty good. If you're looking for great Thai, keep looking. Remember however that this seems to be the only Thai place in town. They got my spice level perfect, however there wasnt enough sauce on my noodles to actually flavor everything. Leaving my chicken tasting like slightly dry grilled chicken. I also got fresh spring rolls which used a fish and sweet soy sauce mix with peanut pieces on top. Although pretty good, not as good as what I'm used to elsewhere. Overall the food was fresh and well prepared. Wait time was a bit excessive, as was the price. Portion size seemed pretty good as well.

Closest thing to authentic thai food but the taste is a little off.

Really delicious and friendly staff!

Good food, I am orthodox and when I fast I can always come here and eat. The lady that runs the place is very nice.

I ordered the pad se ewel . Taste was ok but it was not made the proper way with the wide noodles . I been to Thailand and have this dish many times being its my favorite .

Never disappoints and affordable

I love Thai food! I think it’s cool how they offer buffet and regular menu.

Giving them 5 stars because they have the BEST CHICKEN WINGS I’ve ever had!!!! I didn’t quite like the noodles dish here but the chicken wings tho! Ughhh so good!!!!

it was a little expensive but very good food was fresh n flavorful waiter was very nice n on top of his job spring rolls are a must wonton soup was very delicious spicy noodles were good the peanut sauce for the spring rolls was super fire

The food is always well prepared and delicious, employees hands out fantastic service. I love how neat it is and character. Will come back again.

Great food and perfectly seasoned dishes. Both the hostess and chef are polite and have warming personalities. I ordered the Pad Thai with pork and it was very very good. For the heat rating I usually get 3 out of 5. Which is typically just enough heat to give you more flavor with out it being to over whelming that lead to bites of food between sips of milk.

Vegans love it ; Meat eaters love it ; Fried Rice loved it ; Thai Tea loved it ; Pad Thai loved it ; Waiter really nice and chill on Thursday when I went with my friends. He listened to our ridiculous rambling it was chill. Would highly recommend

Had a awesome experience in this place with my son. The food was served quickly and the service is just excellent. Prices are reasonable.

Great service, and more authentic than some of the paces around St. Cloud. The food is also better than the huge buffets. Sawatdee's lunch buffet offers a great variety.

The staff are friendly. The store is quite clean. Lots of seats of the restaurant. Meanwhile they don’t have pho anymore. All the pho in St Cloud are too sweet. The authentic pho won’t have calories that much from the sugar in the soup. The Tum Yum Soup is just fine, best thing is they have tofu. No bad thing for the restaurant and all they people are kind. I have to give full stars. The food is not awe full but also not attractive.

I absolutely loved this place!!! The server was incredibly kind and full of tips and knowledge of the menu! The food was out of this world yummy and I cannot wait to go back!

I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The meals are appetizing and the stuff is welcoming and cooperative. Whenever we visit this place we have a lovely time. warmly recommended.

I had the lunch buffet which was reasonably priced with a nice little selection of foods for making salads and having rice or noodle entrees with rolls or won tons.

The most fresh and flavorful curry, pad thai and spring rolls. Absolutely remarkable food. Delivered by very friendly driver directly to us. So incredibly delicious, healthy, and worth every dollar spent.

Would absolutely recommend visiting this place. Excellent ambience, tasty food, excellent customer service. Fantastic work.

5 🌟

i love this place. usually end up getting the Thai fried rice. have yet to have a bad meal.

This place is an institution. I've been to the st paul and Minneapolis locations when they were around. The food is decent and awesome. Great family run restaurants, consistent quality. I think they do (did?) catering too. Love their food.

Very authentic!

Very neat and welcoming place. They provide generous portions and for reasonable rates. We liked the meals very much and the staff were super welcoming and informative. I recommend this place.

This place clearly knows how to treat their customers. Regularly with a very kind approach. The food is affordably priced, always flavorful and neat.

We came to this place for lunch. my friend recommended this spot. Well, it was a winning. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we felt fantastic. The food was just great. We had a great time and we will visit this place again. Keep it up.

Great food. The egg rolls are phenomenol, and I go to Thailand 2 times per year!

Always friendly, efficient, and delicious!!

Usually good. My partner got food poisoning this time around.

Amazing food, and has the most gluten free choices of anywhere around town.

So so good. Food with flavor. This town needs more of that. Yum!

The best.

One of my favorite places in town! Vegetarian options are diverse and delicious. Great appetizers, entrees and when mango is in season the dessert is spot on.

Food was fine if it wasn't for the lack of cleanliness. Backed up toilet, dirty cup, general disrepair of the place. Will not be going back.

The air was out when we were here in August so that wasn't ideal but the food was authentic and good. The service was great, the waiter was very friendly.

The restaurant itself is a bit run-down and in need of some attention, paint, repair, but the Thai food is excellent. They offer a weekly luncheon buffet in addition to their menu of Thai favorites, which are available in spicy levels from 1-5, with 5 being extremely hot.

Love their food.
