    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    We wanted sushi, and the place we originally wanted to go was a little too far to walk (and we…read moredidn't feel like taking an Uber because Spring Break traffic was absolutely ridiculous!) so we found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. It was about a 10 minute walk from our AirBNB off Washington Ave and 12th. It was surprisingly empty, except for 2 other customers, so service was quick! Our server and sushi chef were pretty quiet, but that was okay. I loved the mural on the wall. We ordered a few different rolls including their special rolls, and everything was delicious! There was an additional 18% service charge on top of added in 20% automatic gratuity. Overall, happy with this sushi option in South Beach that we found on a whim.

    This place was a pleasant surprise. Located on Washington in the heart of South Beach, I would not…read morehave thought that I would be able to get quality sushi at reasonable prices. I came in here after a night of looking at art and in search of a quick bite. I almost walked right past it, on the Monday night I went in there was no one in the restaurant. At first I thought it might have been closed. Once inside we were greeted right away and given menus. My friend doesn't really do sushi but she ordered the shrimp tempura roll and devoured it. I had the tuna Cali roll and I have to say it was fresh, simple, and delicious. The restaurant is rather small but gives a cozy feel. We sat at the sushi bar and got to see the chef masterfully prepare our rolls.

    I went to the location on Aragon Avenue in Coral Gables (from out of town and just happened to walk…read moreby) but I can not even find that location on Apple or Google Maps. All I know is when it came to pay, I had to pay two separate bills to a business called Shimuja Ramen Stall 308 and a business called Iron Sushi, which is already super weird/ shady and confusing. So all's to say I am going to leave this review both here and on Iron Sushi. This was one of the worst "meals" I've ever had in my life. I had the Tokyo Shoyu, which had just two slices of 'pork belly'- even less than one of the buns I ordered-which really needed like pickled daikon or something to cut through it- it was just mayo (?)not even Asian Kewpie and lettuce (?) which just did not belong there. Sure it's fine to mix cultural ingredients but from this meal, I have a feeling that was not the intention. Back to the ramen- the broth had no depth whatsoever. Way too many noodles, that didn't even taste fresh. It was the cheapest ramen on the menu but even then I overpaid for this small bowl at 20$. My sister's meal looked pretty terrible and from what I tasted was incredibly overseasoned. The edamame were basically inedible unless you carefully popped the peas out of the shell but even then the salt on your hands after popping them out would shock the hell out of your taste buds. And the chicken yakitori were all fat somehow?
