    I'm just learning about Thai food. It's quite a complex cuisine. We'd heard this was a good place - it was ok. I had the Pad-See-Ew - a dish with chicken, noodles, and vegetables; The sauce was particularly tasty. My husband enjoyed one of the curries with tofu. Our daughter ordered a dish with rice noodles and beef; actually we switched dishes as hers was not satisfying. As they say on the cooking shows, it was not toothsome! Service was very good, but the atmosphere was not comfortable. The large of two rooms was way too cold; I had to order tea for us to get warm. Another party was very loud to the point of intrusive.

    As good as 10 years ago! Glad to see this beautiful restaurant in business after so many years and still the same quality of service, food and consistency overall. It's BYOB - plan ahead! Love it.

    Great Thai food near the beach. Table service in a small dining room. They also have a small sushi bar.

    I stopped by this past Sunday , since I was craving Thai and wanted to try a new spot. Tucked away from the 71 St causeway and next to a municipal parking lot, Sawaddee seemed like a cool hidden gem for Thai cuisine. My final analysis: it's a cool neighborhood spot and if you're not in a hurry. I stuck to my usual dishes and have no complaints on the flavor. After getting my server's attention in a relatively empty restaurant, I started off with their steamed pork gyoza. The noodle's texture was just perfectly chewy, the greens fresh and the sauce delish. As it were, I ordered an extra sauce for my fried rice. While tasty, I was told I could get only a vegetable fried rice and not a chicken one. Their volcano chicken was my main dish, with kudos to the chef on the sauce as it was perfectly spicy! It was served on a bed of steamed vegetables and the sauce on the side. The tempura ice cream was yummy as well. Again, the food was pretty good. My only complaint was really on the time between dishes and getting attention.

    Sawaddee is a small Thai restaurant in Normandy Village. Parking is available in the paid lot behind the building (it's free in the evening hours) and a few spots on the street. No alcohol is served. You enter and your nostrils are filled with the tangy aroma of fish sauce & various other savory scents-always a good sign. Like most FL Thai places, they have both Thai and sushi. Pre-Covid Sawaddee had a really good lunch menu at affordable prices. I haven't been here for lunch since the pandemic, so I don't know what it's like now, but will update my review when I do. I recently went for dinner. The entrees on their dinner menu are a bit pricey. However, we found some affordable apps to try as a meal-fried tofu, papaya salad, and Tom kha kai soup. I will be back soon for the papaya salad and soup. Get the papaya salad medium and the soup mild. The salad has a delicious, spicy kick and the soup cools down your taste buds with tasty flavors of coconut milk, fresh veggies, and chicken. I went on a night when the small dining room was almost full and there was an endless string of takeout orders. There was one person taking orders, working the register, taking orders, and running food....and service did not suffer!

I had the tofu, fried oyster mushrooms and the green curry with shrimp. Everything came out fast and was delicious. It's definitely not the best Thai food I've ever had but I loved the service, the vibe and it fulfilled my Thai craving. This is on a busy street (street parking) and the music is quite loud inside (not conducive to having a conversation). Yet the outside area is small and the sidewalk was a bit busy too, and it was windy (napkins flying). So keep that in mind. Also not great for groups--it's too small.

    Definitely visiting again!…read more We ordered a variety of dishes and got a great feel for the menu: * Crispy tofu (6/10): Delicious and well-prepared, though not necessarily a standout dish * Green curry with chicken (7/10): Comforting, rich, and filling. Made even better with the extra spice our server brought out * Khao soi (10/10): Absolute perfection. A true standout with incredible depth of flavor and texture. The beef was perfectly stewed and seasoned...easily the highlight of the visit * Basil duck (9/10): Fresh, crispy, and paired beautifully with the basil. Super flavorful * Fried rice (5/10): Not my favorite, but still decent overall * Pad Thai (7/10): Tasty and satisfying, just not particularly unique compared to others I've had * Passion fruit sake: Perfect balance between the sake and the sweetness of the passion fruit. Great to split between two The ambiance was fun and energetic, with great music and vibrant lighting that really set the mood. We went on a Saturday night and were initially told it would be about a 40-minute wait. They let us grab beers while we waited, and we ended up being seated in about 20-25 minutes, which was a nice surprise. Service was attentive throughout. Our water was constantly refilled and plates were cleared promptly. Overall, an exceptional and vibrant experience. Already looking forward to coming back!

We had comfy couch seating next to the live jazz band and the picturesque water decor. The place is spacious but gets crowded. Our server was the best as there was no need for anything. He came with it all before even asking. The food was absolutely delish and the variety was abundant. There was every variety available it seemed and everything from omnivore and vegetarian and everything in between existed. From fresh seafood, to dim sum to sliders, to the fresh meat, fish and lamb cooked to your choice and brought to you. There was also caviar, crepes, fresh made to order eggs and omelets, sliders, fruit, fresh sushi, and it just goes on and on. Not to mention all the desserts...from the Basque cheesecake to carrot cake, to matcha, I mean you really get all that and entertainment in a beautiful setting. They also gave out free hats to all the Father's. My family and I enjoyed pur full bellies and the whole ambiance of brunch. You must come!

From the moment we arrived, the ambiance and location created the perfect atmosphere for a special evening. The food truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Miso Black Cod -- it was phenomenal and had the same rich, buttery texture as Chilean sea bass. Absolutely delicious. The Wagyu Burger was also outstanding -- freshly ground, high quality, and cooked perfectly. We also tried one of their sushi rolls topped with miso and filled with fresh tuna and salmon, and it was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Our server (I didn't catch her name -- an Asian woman, possibly in her 40s) was wonderful and made our experience even more enjoyable with her attentive and warm service. We truly loved this place and are already looking forward to coming back, especially to explore more of their sushi menu. Highly recommend!

They need to be a good sushi place to survive in this area but again like most places in the area charge 20% gratuity. This makes employees feel entitled and lose motivation to give good service. These are subsidies for the company to pay employees. The ambiance is actually good for this area. I would give 5 stars if the prices were more reasonable or if they actually had spectacular food. In any other city this would be decent sushi at half the price.
