My friend and I came in yesterday, Sunday evening, for an early dinner around 6pm. The restaurant was about half full with the smaller tables almost all taken. We were seated pretty much immediately. I had read that a lot of items could be veganized but I typically avoid ordering items where a bunch of ingredients have to be removed to make it vegan. So I got #61, which is laad-na noodles, which I don't think I have ever tried before, with soft tofu. There was also an option to get friend tofu. Apparently laad na means stuff your face which makes a lot of sense. My noodles came in a big bowl with gravy, veggies, rice noodles, and tofu. It was quite hot initially so I ate it quite slowly. The gravy made it almost like a soup. I got medium spice which wasn't spicy at all for me. If I come back, I might go up one, but this was very comfortable. I thought my dish was perfection, so yummy, would absolutely get again and makes me excited to try more of their menu if I get the chance. My friend got basil noodles and said hers was satisfying and hit the spot. Service was also amazing. We didn't have to ask for anything, they were on top of it. The kitchen was very efficient too as we seated towards the back so we could see how quietly they operated. We also heard plenty of calls come in for takeout orders so clearly this a popular spot. Vegan or not, come through! read more

This was a mid-sized home-run Thai restaurant we found during our travel. We were the first ones to enter for early dinner. It was clean and quiet. The staff was friendly. As I said it was a home-run restaurant the owner was taking the order. We ordered drunken noodles and some curry with rice. Both of them were so delicious. It almost felt like we were eating at someone's home. While we were there, an old man entered and he said I want to eat an omelette which was not on the menu. Turns out the chef makes a special omelette for that man or maybe it's on request. read more

Used to love this restaurant- before Covid days. Ever since Covid the food is sub par and service is extremely slow. I even had a big dead fly in my Thai Iced Tea! Ick! read more

There were two of us for dinner. It took 15 minutes for someone to take out an order. Then another 45 minutes for our food to arrive. No server talked to us, made eye contact or communicated in any way. Did not ask to top off water, where the ice had melted due to the long wait. The food, when it did finally arrive, was delicious. read more

Service was good, food was decent. Price is on the higher side, event for the lunch special. The only thing was that I asked for 4/5 spicy, and my dish came out not spicy at all, and I had to ask for chili oil. Food: 1) Spicy Beef Stir fry Lunch Special 4/5 - it came with a small salad and brown rice was $2 extra. It was a solid stir fry with an unique young ginger taste. 2) Basil Noodle with Chicken 4/5 - I don't see the combo of basil and cilantro in Thai dishes much, but it's very delicious. 3) Vegetarian Spring Rolls 4/5 - pretty big rolls filled with vegetables. They came out piping hot, and stayed hot for 15 minutes. The sweet and sour sauce was very strong. Overall, food was good. We (2 adults and 1 toddler) finished everything and had zero leftover. read more

Inside is cozy with very nice staff, i usually go for the Panang curry but i tired out the green curry and i real loved it.

Got pad Thai and shrimp specials to go. Very delicious and I noticed the nice restaurant interior

I moved here a few years ago from Los Angeles. This is one of the only places I LOVE to eat in town. You will not be disappointed! I love the time-yum, chicken curry, beef with Broccoli! You can't go wrong! read more

Decent Thai food for a small town in WA state! A variety of dishes other than pad thai and pad see yew. Good flavors.

Terrible service. Actually no service and after being ignored, I received a snotty comment from the waitress....classless.

I live in Vegas this is the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to. Nothing compares. I wish I had the recipe for their Swimming Rama because it's one of the greatest meals ever read more

I got the sweet and sour vegetables. I was able to add some Tofu with that. I also got a Thai Tea. Everything was delicious. Service was fast. The prices are about what other restaurants are these days. You can find this restaurant behind the McDonalds off Washington St. (west of the downtown area). read more

We drove by Sequim and decided to stop for dinner on Saturday evening, then we found Sawadee. We ordered Goong Ka Tiem (fried prawns with garlic) and basil fried rice. Look at those humongous prawns, and there were at least 8-10 of them!! The fried rice is also on point. We also order a vegan dish but forgot to take photo. The chef/owner told me she's been serving this neighborhood since 1992. Even though I probably won't visit this place again (because I live in Los Angeles), I wanted to let you know how excellent and honest this restaurant is. They definitely deserve 5 stars! read more

Sawadee Thai was our dinner choice after a long day at Olympic National Park. The reviews and vegetarian options seemed decent. I read that they can make menu items vegan which is always a plus We had just an average experience here. We ordered panang curry, yellow curry fried rice, and basil noodles. The flavors were ok. I thought the panang curry was a little too sweet and the basil noodle was bland. The medium spice level tasted very mild. The wait was too long here. The food took about 45 minutes to come out which felt extra long after a long day of hiking outside. I wish we had at least been warned about the long wait. read more

I was staying at the Casino Hotel in Sequim and, after a few days, wanted to explore life and activities outside of the hotel. So, I ventured into the town. I tapped my handy button on my steering wheel and said "Google, where is the best Thai restaurant nearby?" Of course, I expected Google to get me to some Thai restaurant but I had no idea it would direct me to this gem. What a find. The first thing that caught my eye was it was more like a hole in the wall Thai restaurant attached to another hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. What I mean by that is it didn't look all that appealing from the outside. And, honestly these types of restaurants often have better food than the ones that look all fancy. When I walked in everybody was friendly enough, and it looked like a typical restaurant nothing particularly interesting. You know how sometimes a complete random individual can make (or break) your day? So I'm standing at the counter waiting to figure out what I wanted to order and a woman asked if she could give me a suggestion. She was a customer like me, and her name is Connie. She recommended her favorite by the number. I quickly turned to the menu and saw that she was recommending my favorite as well which is called Drunken Noodles. Although it's not called that on their menu. But the restaurant folks did verify that that is their Drunken Noodles. So delicious Thank you, Connie, for reaching out to a me, a stranger in town. And for a brief conversation with such genuine helpfulness. In this crazy world, me showing up in a place where there is not much visible diversity, to be greated so warmly made the whole experience awesome. Anyway, I ordered my Drunken Noodles and I ordered a Thai pork chop meal as well. Took them back to my hotel. One was for my lunch that day and the other was for my dinner. They were both absolutely over-the-top delicious. I must say though I have never had a pork chop be cooked so well and have such amazing juiciness and seasoning. Thinking about it as I write this review, I want to drive back just to get another pork chop. Dang I live a very long way from that restaurant. For meat eaters, who enjoy pork, you can be jealous because you have probably never had pork of any kind this tasty. Yup, check out the photo of that pork chop! I will be back the next time I either go through Sequim or stay at the nearby casino again. You need to go too. I'll even meet you there! read more

Server was very nice, and that's about it with this place, . We ordered 2 lunch specials and one regular entree. All lunch specials were vegetarian unless you pay for the meat. My husband ordered a meat dish but he has to pay extra for rice. All Thai food restaurants we've been that offer lunch specials include soup, rice, meat included. Their lunch special has no soup included, the salad is served on a dipping sauce dish and the portion of the lunch special is small too. read more

If you are coming here for dinner, ORDER TAKEOUT. DO NOT DINE IN. We came here on a Saturday evening for dinner and noticed that the restaurant was very busy fulfilling to-go orders. We got a table and ordered, but waited a very very long time before we got our food (over 30 minutes, possibly close to an hour). The servers were super kind to us but unfortunately they seemed under-staffed (I saw one, maybe two chefs in the kitchen). The food itself is really tasty. Their curries are very sweet so I recommend choosing their other stir fries or noodles if you are not a fan of sweet curry. The spice levels (1-5) also seemed kind of arbitrary. I tried a level 5 red curry which tasted completely mild, then a level 5 basil noodle which packed more of a punch. However, the level 5 basil noodle was still milder than what you'd get in cities that have big Asian populations (i.e. Bay Area, LA, San Diego). The price of the dish will vary depending on which protein you choose (i.e. chicken curry is $14, tofu curry is $15, prawn curry is $16, seafood curry is $17). You can choose between soft or fried tofu and I highly recommend the fried tofu! The portions are generous and each dish is packed with whichever protein you choose. One dish is enough for a hungry person or potentially could be split between two people. They seem to be very popular for dinner takeout, and they will start running out of stuff (mango sticky rice, some appetizers) if you come later. We ordered takeout the next day since we were still in the area and they ran out of white rice! The brown rice they gave instead was like the purple rice served at Korean restaurants. This is a tasty option for food if you're ever around Sequim/Port Angeles. read more

We love the food at Sawadee! It's our favorite go to Thai restaurant on the Olympic peninsula! Jon loves to order the red curry with fried tofu. Lots of really great veggies: bamboo shoots, eggplant, etc. I've tried their Pad Thai, crab fried rice, chili fish and have loved all of it. The only reason why I give it four stars is the slow service. Expect to wait to have your order taken. Expect to wait at least 30 minutes for your food after you order. There's only one server and two chefs in this restaurant so expect to spend at least 1.5 hours there. I even tried to call in an order... between a busy signal and no one answering the phone, I stopped trying after 15 minutes. Fantastic food. Very slow service. read more

The rice was surprisingly cold - and the coconut prawns were mediocre and overpriced for what you get.

Great food, excellent service! I'll be back before long. We had a very nice evening out there.

Oh, we were so disappointed. We waited at the doorway (next to the 'Wait to be seated' sign) for a full 10 minutes. There were empty tables and only two of us. Three different employees looked at us and not a single one greeted us or moved to talk or help us. It became embarrassing. After 11 minutes, we tucked our tails and went next door to exemplary service and delicious food. We will probably never go back to Sawadee Thai. read more

Had to wait for a while to be seated and even waited for over 35 minutes for a fried rice and curry, when the food was received it was served cold and it tasted like almost nothing, the fried rice tasted like normal rice! The lighting for the restaurant was pretty dim and the smell of the restaurant had little to no smell. Overall the store is good whilst the food isn't. read more

Small restaurant located in a little mall behind Sequim Mc Donalds. Most all the dishes I've tried have been well prepared and delicious. Nice waitresess and the owner is friendly.

We are in town for the marathon and this was our pre-race dinner. I got the game hen, my runner friends got crab fried rice and panang curry. They were very short staffed on a Saturday night, so the waitress told us food would take 35 min. Ended up waiting actually almost an hour. The food was freshly made, but pretty standard. The specialty dishes are the best options. My suggestion is if you know exactly what you want - get it. Otherwise try one of their specialty dishes for the best experience. read more

Great food! I had the Pa'nang curry with beef. I ordered a level 3 spice and it was perfect! I also ordered steak, but will Opt for chicken next time. Steak was a bit dry. Great service! Just wish you didn't have to pay extra for rice when the entrees are already expensive. read more

Absolutely delicious. Our family just came up from Seattle for the night and we saw this was close to our hotel and thought we would try. They were so busy, had to go in because the phone was busy, but we love Thai and thought that was a good endorsement within itself of how busy it was! We got yellow curry and pad see ew. Both were so delicious. The curry was so thick which I love! And the potatoes were fully cooked (which is not always the case!) we will come again if we are in the town! I got 2 star and it was pretty spicy which I like! But I'd air on the side of cautious if you don't like much spice! read more

They have great food and work hard and we have given them a lot of business but now they don't include rice. So if you order yellow curry you have to order and pay for a side of rice. Nonsense. Things are getting bad. . read more

Ordered take out from here after getting the worst service ever from another restaurant in the area. We decided to try the dungeoness fried rice, yellow curry, tom yum, and curry fried rice. All the dishes were great. We took it back to the hotel to eat and we feasted. Would come here again. read more

We headed over to the restaurant after a long day of exploring. We originally had planned to dine in, but when we got there realized you could only get take out. I was super indecisive, but I ended up ordering the Pa-Nang Curry, and my husband had the Green Curry with no eggplant. We also ordered a chicken satay with extra peanut sauce. Pa-Nang = pa-nang curry / bell peppers / fresh basil leaves / coconut milk / topped with ground peanuts Green Curry = green curry / bell peppers / pineapple / bamboo shoots / fresh basil leaves / eggplant / coconut milk The food was absolutely amazing. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures, but the serving sizes were plentiful and taste SO GOOD! I made three meals out of mine! The chicken in the chicken satay also had nice big chunks of chicken. I would highly recommend getting food from here. read more

We have ordered at Sawadee for many years, and noted a decrease I quality over the last 2 years. But tonight I can't believe how poor the food. I ordered Basil noodles with prawns. 4 prawns, and a clump of noodles in the middle, stuck together, not separated, not fully cooked and no flavor. What a disappointment. read more

After reading Kim M's review, I had to try the pork chop. I hadn't been to Sawadee's in a very long time, and when I did I always had noodle dishes. I didn't have the same luck she did with the pork chop. Mine was pretty tough. It still tasted all right. I asked if I could substitute sticky rice for regular rice for an additional fee, and was told yes, but then they didn't even charge me for it. I also had the "crab delight" (crab cream cheese wontons), and I think they were the best I ever had. The wrapper was exactly the right crispiness. She let me substitute pot sticker sauce for sweet and sour sauce, too. I had cucumber salad to round it out. It was chopped up cucumbers and onions with an excessive amount of vinegar in it. It seemed like a lot of liquid wasted after I strained out the cucumbers and onions to eat, but it tasted really good and refreshing. She also let me move to a booth when one became available, which I thought was very kind. It was a nice evening, but I think I will stick with the noodle dishes from now on. I've never gone wrong with them. read more

I decided the other day I needed Thai food and having not tried any here in Sequim I choose Sawadee. I ordered pineapple fried rice and cashew chicken. I have to say I was really disappointed with both. The pineapple fried rice was not like any I have ever had. It was coated in some red sauce or seasoning that was not the typically curry flavor this dish is made with. There were no cashews or raisins and instead it was filled with frozen peas and carrots. It was not pleasant. When I opened the cashew chicken I got an overpowering smell of fish which tells me they were very heavy handed using fish sauce. I don't mind fish sauce but if I order chicken, I don't want to smell fish. I don't think I'll be going here again. The bill was right at 45.00 which would have been fine if I had food that I enjoyed. read more

So many options to choose from. We ordered a curry and a noodle dish. The spice level was spot on. Both the dishes were very tasty. But the rice portion that came with the curry was too small. The place was flooded with take out orders. But it did not slow down the service at the table. read more
