I started with Sa-Wad-Dee Sampler. I picked a good choice. It came with an assortment of five delicious appetizers. So good, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Num Tok (Spicy Grilled Beef), meat was so tender and packed with flavor. Yummy Chicken with Cashew Nut was truly excellent, balanced, comforting and done just right. Pineapple Fried rice was outstanding. Service was very good and timely. They also offer carry-out. I'll be back without hesitation. read more

The "Where Have You Been All My Life?" Moment We've lived in Meridian for eight years, literally half a mile down the road for some of that time, and we are just now trying Sa-Wad-Dee? Talk about a mystery! My wife and I finally swung by for a kid-free Saturday date night, and honestly, we've been missing out. The Vibe & A Happy Surprise The atmosphere is so welcoming with plenty of seating, but take my advice: get there early! By 6:30 PM, the place was packed. As a wine lover, I was hit with a total "welcome shock." Usually, Thai spots stick to a basic beer list, but Sa-Wad-Dee has a fantastic wall of wine! Seeing a solid selection of bottles and glasses made me feel right at home. I grabbed a bottle of one of my favorite reds at a very reasonable price--definitely my kind of dinner. The Main Event The service was top-tier, super attentive, friendly, and just genuinely nice people. And the food? Not a single miss. * Drunken Noodles: Full of authentic, bold flavor. * Shrimp Curry: Absolutely fantastic. Final Thoughts If you're looking for excellent Thai in Meridian, don't hesitate. And if you love a good glass of red with your curry, this is officially your new favorite spot. We'll definitely be back (and won't wait another eight years this time!). read more

Upon walking in, we felt instantly comfortable. The murals of scenes of Thailand are beautiful, and our servers were knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. We started with the Sa-Wad-Dee Sampler, and everyone enjoyed the 5 different lightly fried and flavorful offerings. Next was the Papaya Salad, which was fresh and refreshing. For our main courses, our teen gobbled up the Pad See Ew with steamed tofu (fave!), and we all delighted in the Asparagus Delight and Yakisoba. We were impressed with how well-flavored everything was, and yet also not greasy! Prices were great for the quality and quantity you get. Khob khun ka for a wonderful meal and experience! read more

Delicious food. Generous portions and friendly staff. Loved the presentation of the pineapple fried rice. read more

The food was amazing!! The service was great!! Love the vibe there. There is no wait for table. The food did not take long.

Moved back to the area and haven't been to this restaurant in over 10 years. It was not as I remember it. Ordered the fresh salad rolls and most Thai restaurants serve these with peanut sauce. I ask for that instead of the chile with peanut and they added four bucks to the bill. You can see it in the picture. The rolls had good flavor but were small. Ordered a glass of Sauvignon blanc and it totally tasted like Chardonnay. Ask the server and she said it was correct. I don't dink it and she didn't to anything to correct it. Waisted $9. The asparagus dish had good flavor but very little protein. Counted 4 shrimp in the dish. Overall take was service was marginal. Prices were high for what was served. It's not what it used to be. Wouldn't repeat read more

I just got hired to be a mascot for a tax business next to this Thai restaurant on the weekends and since my shift got cut short due to an insane amount of rain that made it difficult for me to walk and dance along the sidewalk in a blow up costume while holding a sign, decided to get some lunch here. Let me tell you, I was definitely not disappointed!! It's a cute little restaurant and the workers were overall friendly. I started with a cocktail called the Tom Yum margarita which is extremely unique- it's got Thai Chili lemongrass, lime and cilantro! While it has the Chili and it says on the menu that it's spicy.. I really didn't find it all that spicy personally. The lime and cilantro were the strongest flavors in it. It was very good and makes me want to try more of their drinks. For my entree I got sweet and sour chicken with brown rice which was delicious but for $15, you hardly get any chicken in it. I'd probably get it again sometime but id pay extra for more chicken to be added. I plan to visit again soon to try their orange chicken and another cocktail ! read more

My favorite Thai spot! The dining room is a good size with plenty of tables, so it doesn't feel cramped. Staff are friendly and happy to offer suggestions. You can choose your spice level, which I appreciate. The food is consistently delicious. Everything comes out hot and packed with flavor. Favorites so far: Fresh Roll Appetizer, Basil (Drunken) Noodles, Thai-style Beef Pho, Spicy Basil, and Thai Fried Rice. There's still a lot on the menu I want to try. Highly recommend. read more

Authentic Thai food. Tasty. Good selection. Love the coconut soup, the curries, and the papaya salad.

Just a wonderful experience for a Sunday brunch. This appears to be a hidden gem because just about everything was outstandingl Pros - Nicely varied menu, beautiful restaurant, friendly service, delicious food. I always order the Penang Curry to evaluate a Thai restaurant. This was a very generously portioned curry with background heat, rich flavor, and a touch of sweetness. Large plump broccoli florets offset a lovely contrast with the reddish-pink hue of the curry. I ordered a side of brown rice, which was deliciously soft and slightly nutty. I ordered just the regular iced tea, but it was quite refreshing with clean flavor. And they offer free refills! I love the attention to detail with the delicately carved lemon slices. The silverware has a good weight to it with a beautiful bamboo pattern. They have very nice heavyweight plastic containers with tight fitting lids to take your extra food home, guaranteed not to spill. . Cons - I was given the choice of steamed or fried tofu, and I opted for the steamed, but unfortunately, my dish was served with the fried tofu. I mentioned this to the server who offered to make the correction, but I told her it was not a problem, and actually, the fried tofu was quite delicious! The prices tend to be on the high side, but I am sure this is to maintain their quality and reputation of being excellent thai cuisine. Plus the bonus of being able to take some home! read more

Tried Sa Wah Dee for the first time last night with friends, and we will certainly be back! The service was attentive and friendly. We brought a bottle of wine, and they do have a corkage fee, that we wanted to pair with our Thai food. The food was excellent! There were 4 of us and we started by sharing the appetizer sampler. Nice mix of munchies and loved the green beans! We all got different entrees. I hade the shrimp curry and loved it! It was tasty, just a little heat and a generous portion. I brought half of it home to eat later! We will definitely be back! read more

Very friendly service and comfortable atmosphere. The most important is always the food though & I was very pleased with the yellow curry lunch I ordered. It had a wonderfully flavorful & rich sauce (just a touch of heat & nice sweetness) with tender pieces of chicken, potato & carrot. I would definitely order this again. My table also tried the sample platter. What stood out for me were the chicken wings. I love really crispy wings with soft moist meat in the center & they absolutely delivered here. I wasn't much of a fan of the spring rolls & fried shrimp rolls unfortunately. They were too over cooked for me. My table enjoyed the fried green beans & fried wanton. One of my party got the Pho & I will definitely be trying that next time! They said it was one of the most flavorful Pho they ever had. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was relatively busy. There was no parking out front (as usual for dinner), so we pulled over to the lot behind the building. Luckily, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The service is quick and friendly! We were immediately given water as soon as we were seated. We ordered a Thai Tea, the Together appetizer, and the Mango Chicken and Basil Duck as our entrees (both of which are listed under the Chef's Recommendations). The Thai tea was amazing! It didn't taste watered down and it was actually creamy. The Together appetizer was better than expected, especially the wontons. The dipping sauce was sweet and sour, but more on the sweet side. The Mango Chicken was great! The Basil Duck was sadly not crispy as advertised in the item description, but it was still good nonetheless. Loved the amount of veggies in both dishes too! All in all, we enjoyed our experience here and definitely recommend it if you're in the area! read more

I recently visited a charming Thai restaurant that quickly became my new favorite. The food was delicious. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the generous portions were perfect for sharing. The service was attentive, with friendly and efficient staff who made me feel welcome and cared for. The ambiance was casually stunning, creating a cozy and intimate dining experience. Pricing is moderate and worth the money. Despite a few minor issues, my overall experience was great, and I look forward to returning soon. Some top dishes include coconut fried rice and Pad Thai. Though some dishes turned out a bit too sweet or spicier than one would want, the food generally gave rich and enough satisfaction. These include my favorite dishes: TomKa soup, green papaya salad, yellow curry chicken, and shrimp in the mud. Service was excellent from the very first step in. We were offered a table in minutes, and our server was personable, attentive, and courteous. The staff made me feel welcome and well cared for throughout my visit. The restaurant is casual and very comfortable. It was smartly decorated to maximize the small area for coziness and closeness. I loved it because it was so quiet and unobtrusive that it helped put everyone in a relaxed dining atmosphere. The restaurant was well-lit and calm. The air vents and some of the decor need more dusting, though. The simplicity, inviting vibe, fantastic food, and excellent service created a great dining experience. This place has become my favorite spot to get Thai food from. read more

We loved our first experience here! Visited based on a recommendation from a neighbor and it was delicious. Luck was an amazing server and went above and beyond for my family! Recommendations on food, extra rice, and a dessert that my kiddos loved were great but the food and service was the highlight! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Have been wanting to try this place since we moved here in June. The service was great, very attentive and helpful. Brought us more drinks, checked how the food was. Atmosphere was okay, sort of Thai-like. Food came quickly and was hot. Taste was just okay, not much flavor to any of our dishes. We had fresh rolls which were pretty good. We had a Phad Kee Mao 2*, fried rice 2* and Green curry 2*. None of these dishes were spicy at all. Did not care much for the flavor of the food as there really was none. Will try another place in the future to compare but definitely not impressed. Cost was average for prices these days. I guess when I go out since I am paying astronomical prices I would like to have exceptional food. read more

Awesome food and Service. I've been going there for 20 years and never had a bad experience.

This is hands down the best Thai food in the Boise area! We arrived and the restaurant was packed. We were told we would have a 20 minute wait and we're seated in under 10 minutes. It is a very small, intimate dining area. We had the best server Salina who made sure we were well taken care of. We started with the crispy flower appetizer which was very similar to a crab Rangoon. They were delicious! All of the food we got was incredible and left us wanting to come back! We tried the pad thai, shrimp in the mud, massamun curry, and mango chicken. All of the dishes had great flavor. We will be back soon! read more

Sad. What happened sawadee? This place was so good to the point where we would frequent it once a week at least. Last couple of times, the food is inedible. Had to send a dish back today. Everything is swimming in sweet and sour sauce. Since when is pad see ew made with watery sweet and sour? Service was also lacking. Shows they don't really care about the quality of their restaurant because they know they will be busy no matter what because they're in meridian. read more

Introduce two family members to Thai food . Great place to do so . Food was very good right amount of spice

Slightly expensive - BUT very delicious. I ordered the chicken pad Thai with a level 3 spice. I was not disappointed with the spice, I would say 3 has a great and obvious kick in the first few bites that kind of mellows down (maybe cause your mouth is a little numb by then). I greatly enjoyed this dish, complex flavors that combine together perfectly in a savory and slightly sweet flavor. The noodles aren't what I'm used to for pad Thai, which are flat noodles, but these worked fine as they were cooked just right and were covered in the amazing pad Thai sauce - no dry noodles here. Every bite was full of flavor and sauce - make sure to squeeze the lime to get a zesty flavor to compliment the savory! Would love to come back! read more
