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. Prices have gone up over time, as have all eateries here in Sequim, but it's worth it for tasty food! My go-to Thai restaurant in Sequim for years. 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

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

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

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

Visiting from Olympia-menu looked great...called. No answer. Thought: well, Asian places are often closed on Sundays. Get a return call in under 5 minutes with a cheerful voice on the other end "You called Sawdee Thai? What can I get got you? " YES!!!! Hubby orderedBasil noodles with chicken and I ordered Yellowcurry rice with Chicken ... good food... but disappointed with the fresh spring rolls, which tasted like cardboard. Very different from what we are used to. We'd return here and try something different for an entree! 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

Sawadee Thai Cuisine - Ambience - Thai Near Me - Sequim, Washington

As a local in the area I will always highly recommend this spot for the best local Thai food. My favorite dish is chicken pad Thai, they nail it every time. It's less westernized than some of the other local options and very close to the real deal! This is a family owned business and they are extremely busy all the time. So busy, I suspect they have to disconnect their phones because they cannot possibly take on more business and close the store on time every night. So please do understand that if you call for take out you might not be served, and that you may have to go in to order take out which is a bummer but SO WORTH IT! Best to order take out 1.5 hours before close or right when they open back up for lunch. read more

Food was good, yellow curry was tasty. Although, we asked for 4 stars on the heat, it was not hot at all. Why have choice if you only make it one way. Rice was OK, but just a small bowl for the 2 of us. Does it really matter if its jasmine? NO. The server was pleasant and it was busy, but not understanding we wanted some heat in our dish was lost in translation and concerning. Just smiling and saying yes, yes, is not good service. Prices are higher than expected for the amount of food on the dish. Decent Thai for the area and town, because of that we will likely come back. Maybe they will actually listen when we say we want it hot. read more

Was really looking forward to eating here because I was hungry and it had good reviews. Both my wife and I were not impressed with our dishes. I ordered a tofu Pad Thai (which curiously, is priced higher than the meat pad Thai) plus they take away just about all vegetables. The noodles were to tangy for my taste but it seems to be a Western thing rather than specific to this restaurant. My wife tofu with ginger was great at first but after a few bites the amount of sauce of the plate started ruining the dish. The tofu were pretty good though. The place was not busy and it was about 7.30p when we got there.. read more

Sawadee Thai Cuisine - Tofu Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Sequim, Washington

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

i'm guessing the chef was on holiday today, the food was mediocre at best. What surprised me is that even the tomatoes were of so-so quality. we tried the pad ke maw, spicy vegetables, eggplant dishes. We, hopefully, went there on an off day and this restaurant serves food consistent with earning a four star rating. read more

Yelp has taken us to undiscovered hole in the walls that provides us with great experience and great flavors. This place is no exception. The Dungeness crab fried rice is definitely something that you should try. It made my day since I was wanting to go to another restaurant but it would have been the same restaurant we were at the night before. So glad that we went here as well because of that Dungeness Crab Fried Rice. Not really a fan of their Tofu Pad Thai but its probably a matter of preference as my wife and daughter loved that dish as well. Come try this place if you are craving for Thai Food in Sequim WA. read more

Food? Absolutely amazing. 10/10 stars. I will probably be ordering here once a week. HOWEVER.... I am used to placing to go orders online or on the phone.... Frequently. This restaurant doesn't even allow you to call them during peak dinner hours? Which I thought was the weirdest/most inconvenient thing. I get they get busy, but disconnecting the phone line isn't the answer. Amazing food, however, you will have to go in to place an order and then wait about 45 mins to an hour for your food. read more

Authentic Thai! Amazing food and flavors. Perfectly seasoned. All entrées we ordered were great. Portions were big so it can be shared. It was a busy Sunday and food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Service was good too. They were attentive and friendly. The restaurant was clean and well organized. Highly recommended. Definitely coming back to try other dishes. read more

The food is always delicious but the portions are not great. The basil noodles can't be beat!

Really disappointing experience. Admittedly we were there at the height of the dinner hour and they were busy but it took 1.25 hours to get our food and the entrees arrived in10+ minute increments vs all at once. When you wait an hour and fifteen minutes for your food it should all arrive at once. In addition the quality of the food was mediocre and my 3 level spice was basically a zero and not even remotely spicy. read more

We went here with another couple on a Tuesday night. The place was almost packed at 6PM. We sat at a booth and looked over the menu. The place is not fancy but is comfortable with both booths and table seating. We ordered the Thai Beef Salad, Yellow Curry with Chicken, Pad Thai with scallops, and Hot and Sour Soup with Tofu. All were excellent. We also ordered a bottle of wine for three of us with one ordering beer. Food is served all at once which is traditional but may not be popular with some. The wait was a bit long but all the food was delivered hot. The flavors were wonderful and the food was not over salted. We had decided on medium hot which was just perfect for us. We will definitely be back. read more

Food? Delicious! The Pad Thai was okey good, but the salmon in curry was to die fo. Ask for the sticky rice! They don't offer it, but they can make it really well. The service is friendly but unfortunately they didn't pass the "Clarita Test" (meaning that they brought the check without asking if we wanted dessert or anything else). Actually, they failed it miserably! They brought the check while we were in the middle of dinner, they waited for my friend to give them the credit card while she was holding the fork. Didn't let her finish her meal! Unbelievable, ZERO respect for the person who was eating. I really wanted dessert but once again, I end up finishing my dinner with a dessert and herb tea at the hotel. read more

We got take-out here on a recent trip to Sequim. With no knowledge of the area we chose this place based on Yelp reviews. The reviews were right. The food was great! We had some dish with rice noodles, vegetables, and a peanut sauce (my wife ordered so I don't know the name). We also had some veggie spring rolls. All were delicious and the portions were large. A couple of meals worth. :-) They definitely followed Covid protocalls and brought food out to your vehicle. All employees inside were wearing masks. Well worth a visit. read more

Can't say much about the food because I never got to taste it. Obviously they must have enough customers to keep them in business, but I have never been to a Thai restaurant that offered red curry and Panang curry without any rice included, even though the menu said that rice is included. The chef (maybe owner) said they would only give us a small portion of rice unless we paid extra (and the prices already were surprisingly higher than one would expect for a Thai place in Sequim) and said the menu didn't mean what the menu said. He seemed to be trying to be semi cordial but was clearly also being condescending. I left on principle because the menu said downturning different than what the waitress and chef/owner said. If you have a choice, make it and go next door to the Mexican restaurant. read more

After reading several glowing reviews of this restaurant, I decided to give it a go for my birthday dinner. It was good, but not sensational & I would try other Asian restaurants before returning here. I had the Red Curry with chicken and my friend had the spicy fish. We also shared the Thom Kha soup and spring rolls. The spring rolls for were very forgettable (1 star). There was a measly bit of just cabbage inside and no seasoning. The soup was just ok (2 stars) - short on flavor and seemed diluted, but that may be how it's supposed to taste. My friend liked the fish dish, but noted that it was lacking in the amount of fish. He gives it 4 stars on flavor and 3 for content. My red curry was quite tasty - 4 stars, but I'd still want to try something different if we decide to return. The other downside was that we had to go to the restaurant to order because the phone was forever busy. And the we just had to hang out and wait for 30 minutes. What we had hoped would be a delicious celebratory dinner was just very mediocre. read more

this is the second Thai restaurant I've eaten at in Sequim and it ranks the same as the first. This place is dirty. the walls and ceiling are covered with what appears to be soot. a the windows are filthy. the service was very poor. my wife's beef salad was serviced on ice berg lettuce. my soup was good, but didn't come with any rice. That's a first for me after 25 years of eating Thai. the mango on the bed of sticky rice was under ripe. this was just a bad experience and the price for all of this experience was way too high. read more

I was eating here with my girlfriend when two other couples joined us. We had already ordered and they came and ordered too. We got separate checks. I looked at our check and gave my credit card to the server. I got the receipt which only had the total and a line for tip, not the detailed bill like before. I put a twenty percent tip and signed the receipt. After we left, my friends told me that a gratuity was already included because we became a table of six. In other restaurants, people always tell me this and when it's added, I don't get a bill with a line for a tip. The service and food were not anything special that deserved an extra tip. I think the server did this on purpose. It's unfortunate for people who have a limited income. read more

Thank you Sawadee for accepting our group of 13 last weekend, the food and the service was top notch. Highly recommend the Tom Kha! Much better than the other Thai joint that required papers to enter. read more

Best Thai in Sequim! It's expensive, but so is everywhere right now. Their spicy-star system is more inconsistent than anywhere I've ever been: 4 stars will mean 1 star somedays, and 12 stars others. read more

The food is good and if you like Thai spices they will prepare it for you. Nice portions read more

Pro tip: come here during lunch! The lunch specials run at $8 a dish which is a great deal. You would have to pay around $11-14 for the same thing at a non-lunch special rate. Food was great! The green curry was very tasty with the coconut milk, and spicy vegetables were a pretty standard dish of vegetables. The noodles were good as well. I would stay away from the pork dish with the red sauce though. I was not a big fan of the flavor/sauce and it was really not something I would want to eat again. Everything else tasted great though. I also ventured to try the dessert sticky rice and mango. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but it was sweet sticky rice with a half of a mango. Interesting but a bit pricy for what I got and probably would not get it again. Ambience was good, good décor. We were promptly seated and served. Would definitely come back when I am in the area. read more

Great Food! Great service. Nice ambiance. We return whenever we can. Lovely place to go to in this small town.

I had pork pad see ewe with 2 stars and it tasted good. Good portions and flavor. I also had mango sticky rice for dessert, but the mango was extremely sour, but, the rice was sweet and aromatic. I highly suggest they not sell this item until the mango is ripe and sweet. Left a bad taste on my palette. read more

Very authentic very spicy and very friendly service. I will be back when I come through. Four star is more like six star but still delicious read more

Excellent curry soup. Consistent every time. And the best jasmine rice cooked to fluffy perfection.

Chicken yellow curry. Best ever. I always recommend whenever someone asks where to eat in sequim

We ordered level 4 spicy fish dish and level 3 spicy Buddha delight. It's tasty and healthy meal but not spicy at all.

Small little Thai restaurant with big flavor! Loved our pad see ew and red curry dishes. Staff was very friendly and we left with happy full tummies. read more

I am really surprised by this little hole in the wall, in Sequim. It is really good even by big city standard. Larb Gai Salad was a great appetizer. I think I could eat the whole thing. Fried crab rice wS unique and delicious. It was not greasy. I could taste the Dungeness crab in every bite. It is definitely my favorite. Yellow curry noodle totally exceed my expectation. It was yellow curry stir fried with with vegetable, beef and wide rice noodle. It is my new favorite. And their Tom Yum soup! It's made from crab or shrimp base like it is supposed to be. There was lots of lemongrass so be careful. Owners and staff are very friendly. They really took pride of what they do. I really wanted to try their dessert black rice with custard, but I was too stuffed. Wish I had ordered it and save it for later. All in all this is a very good Thai restaurant. It deserves all 5 stars. read more

Appetizer: fresh spring roll... I'm not sure why this dish was served warm, also not sure why they don't use the traditional rice wrapping. This is wrapped in a kind of mu shu style paper that makes the whole dish kinda dry. Also, the syrupy "tamarind" sauce is a poor replacement for peanut sauce. Entree: jungle curry, good flavor nice veggie content. Pad Thai: nice combo of sweet and savory. The 3 Star has a generous amount of chili flake. Service is speedy and friendly as always. Sabai Thai in Port Angeles still holds the title of best Thai on the peninsula IMO. read more
