I recently stopped by Sawasdee Thai Cuisine and had a great experience overall. To start, I ordered a Thai tea and their wonton soup. The soup came with Thai pork, vegetables, and scallions. It was very flavorful and came out nice and hot so good that I didn't feel the need to add anything extra to it. For my main dish, I ordered my go-to Thai meal: chicken and basil. It was super delicious. The chicken was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and the dish came out hot and fresh just like the soup. Parking was easy since they have their own dedicated parking lot. It's not huge, but I had no trouble finding a spot. The restaurant itself is family-friendly, and they had music playing in the background that added to the atmosphere without being too loud or distracting. Service was a little slower than usual today it took about 15 minutes for someone to come over and take my food and drink order, but once the order was placed, the food came out quickly. The staff was still very kind and welcoming, and things happen sometimes, so it wasn't enough for me to take away from the overall experience. They also have bathrooms available, which is always helpful for families stopping in. Seating options are tables, booths, and table and booth combination, If you enjoy Thai cuisine, this is definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

If you give this little place a chance then you'll be happy you did. Oh, boy! What can I say about the food that my photos can't? Please take a peek at them. My wife and I tried a bit of everything with the foreknowledge that we'd be taking a to go box for what we couldn't finish. We both eat vegan so it was the vegetable spring rolls to begin with. I'm not usually one to brag on spring rolls but they were really delicious. I personally enjoyed the vegan soup with clear broth, veggies and tofu. Next up was the Pad Thai without peanuts due to my nut allergies and fried tofu. Man it was flavorful. Powerful but not overwhelming. My wife and I shared a bit of vegetable fried rice without eggs or meat. Definitely better than most places I've had fried rice at. 11 out of 10. But wait; there's more. My wife had some kind of flat noodle with brown sauce and veggies. The texture was soft with a mild flavor. Not too strong or off putting. Just simple. There was only one server but the service was pleasant and kindly. If you enjoy less people around then this would be a great ambiance for you. Oh almost forgot! My iced Thai tea was fantastic. Very sweet though like a dessert so I had to sip it in stages but enjoyable. read more

I have ate Thai food in many cities and this restaurant definitely does it well. I'm surprised that they don't add heat when cooking but you can ask for it. We will definitely return but it seems like take out is common more than the super quiet, odd eat in. read more

Amazing food!!!! In love with their pineapple fried rice and pad thai!! Their chicken satay with peanut butter sauce is the most amazing food in the world and i would eat everything from them for my whole life. Their tapioca pudding made with coconut milk is just chefs kiss and their mango sticky rice...OH and their Thai tea is just The people there are really kind too. 1000000000000000000/10 read more

VEGAN REVIEW - we were there at lunchtime and ordered drunken noodle without the egg, low spice, and green curry with tofu medium spice. Service is fast, the restaurant was quiet, and the food tasted great! read more

Service was excellent, we were seated by the door on a very cold night. was glad to have an extra sweater because they do a lot of take out so many were in and out. The food came out fairly quick and was good, but I have had better Thai. We had the drunken noodles and the masiman curry dishes. I would give it a second try! read more

Got carry out today from Sawasdee Thai--we got the pad see ew (with chicken as the protein), tom kha soup (coconut lemongrass soup with chicken), tom yum soup (seafood), and larb salad (chicken). The food was ready on time and warm, but portion sizes small. The two soups we ordered came wrapped with foil over the lids to prevent spilling which I appreciated. The pad see ew was decent--nice texture with fat chewy noodles but not particularly flavorful. The tom kha was my favorite here (I always love tom kha); it was a bit salty and more on the sour side. I did not have the seafood tom yum, but my sister-in-law really enjoyed it. The larb salad which I've loved at other places was just average here and VERY small portion for being $15.95-only half the takeout container was full which was disappointing--maybe the portion sizes would be bigger dining in?? True rating probably 3.5/5 due to the saltiness and small portions especially given the price. Not sure if I'd be back :( read more

Sawasdee is an elite restaurant in the area. Atmosphere: 5/5 It's a no-frills, traditional Thai restaurant--but you can always count on it being exceptionally clean and tidy. Nothing flashy, just dependable and welcoming. Service: 5/5 The service is always rockstar. Attentive, fast, and reliable. I've been here countless times and never had a single issue. It honestly feels like I'm part of the family when I walk through the door. Food: 5/5 This is where Sawasdee truly shines. I've had the chance to try a wide range of dishes, but a few really stand out. The Panang curry is absolutely phenomenal. The spice levels range from mild to Thai hot--and they mean it when they say Thai hot. What's great is that the heat never overpowers the dish--it just deepens the flavor. This is easily one of the best curries I've ever had. The drunken noodles, pad woon sen, and pad thai are all consistently excellent. The fried rice is also worth calling out--flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. It's simple but done right, which is harder to find than you'd think. As for the wonton soup--my mom loves it and says it's one of her favorites. Just a really nice, comforting dish. Overall: 5/5 Sawasdee is a hidden gem in central Pennsylvania. It's the best Thai food you'll find anywhere near Hersheypark. Clean, reliable, and serving up authentic, delicious Thai dishes every time. I couldn't recommend it more strongly. read more

We used to LOVE this place. However, over the years, I feel like the portions have significantly decreased and the prices have increased. What used to be my favorite dish (sweet and sour chicken) had only 4-5 pieces of chicken in the entire meal. My husband commented the same thing on his dish. I thought maybe it was a one time thing, but it happened to us the last 2 times we went. Unfortunately, I think we will be choosing to take our business elsewhere for that reason. I'm really disappointed and sad about this! :( read more

Great place, I've been at least a dozen times. It is always quick and delicious. Prices can be on the higher side, but not abnormal for quality Thai food read more

I got the pad Thai with scallops (unique, I know) and was unfortunately underwhelmed. Although the portion was generous, there was little-to-no taste. The scallops were a bit rubbery and my noodles seemed very mushy. read more

What a true hidden gem. With not many options around hershey park late at night we decided to come here. We were blown away by how good the food was. We got the panang curry and the pad thai. The curry was rich and creamy just like Thailand and the pad thai was flavorful although a little on the sweeter side. I still thought it was delicious. The service was extremely fast considering the restaurant was full and had several phone orders ahead as we were notified by our waitress. The ambiance is nice. Immediately as you walk in the door you're hit with the smell of thai cooking which just made is even more hungry. A must try! read more

The beef was kind of raw in my fried noodles. I would rather have it cooked thoroughly.

There was about 15 of us for dinner on a week night! What amazing service we got, GREAT food, and a good time together. Definitely try this place if looking for authenticity in Thai food! read more

Ordered the drunken noodles and pad see euw and was delighted. The food is delicious and the restaurant is clean. Absolutely will be back!

You'd think I'd be in real trouble since this place is 2 blocks from my house...it's so damn good. AND so so consistent! My staple favs are: Panang Curry (I add xtra chicken.) when you put this in your mouth, , you will be transported! The Tom Kha soup (also with chicken.) They have the perfect balance of the lime sour with the coconut milk and that lemongrass...mmm mmm good!!! I love it especially when it's rainy and icky outdoors. Drunken Noodles - you can never go wrong with this one! And dessert: The warm coconut tapioca pudding. Hello - where have you been all my life? lol! While we always get takeout, I have walked around the inside. The restaurant is super clean and lovely for a night out, or lunch in the afternoon! Please, especially if your local, spend your money at this place you won't be disappointed... I promise you!!! read more

Fantastic Thai spot in Hershey! Great food (big fan of their pad thai), excellent service and very generous portions for reasonable prices. There's decent seating and sufficient parking. We've done both carryout and dine-in and service is prompt on both occasions. read more

Amazing!!! Food is so delicious! Staff is so kind! Environment is peaceful, very clean and soft

Love this place. Staff is so friendly! Food is amazing every time and comes out very quickly. We love spicy food and we are vegan, this place is the perfect place for us. They are very accommodating. It's a BYOB with is a plus as well. read more

Some dude with one yelp review to his name posted a one star review making some crazy allegations so of course I HAD to try this place. The food was really amazing! Great flavors and the service was really good too. The only thing holding this back from five stars is we had to ask for utensils. Haha! read more

The food is phenomenally delicious, and the staff are so friendly and helpful! We live in Philly and have friends in Lancaster County - always worth the extra driving when we visit them to go here. read more

Huge fan of Sawasades! Food is always fast, hot, and very tasty. Portion sizes for entrees are enormous and can be multiple meals if you order alone, or can be easily shared family-style. I love the pineapple fried rice as well as tthe green papaya salad. they are always winners. The restaurant sometimes looks a little unkempt-- its great for casual dinners out, but the ambiance might miss the mark for a special meal. Service is always friendly, polite, and prompt. read more

First I want to say that my review has changed given my past 3 visits to Sawasdee. If I just rated them based on my first visit, I would've given them 2 stars...one of the harshest reviews I've ever given. I called in a 7pm reservation by phone and arrived with my family to find out they didn't even take my reservation into account, we ended up standing/waiting there until the next table cleared like any walk-in. Next once we sat down, it took them 30min just to get our order. Then once our food arrived, I realized they got one of our orders wrong which I confronted them about but they insisted I spoke wrong when they were the ones who miswrote the order. By that point, we lost our patience and gave up on having them send it back at all. I know that they were understaffed but that's severely poor operations/planning if this is how you manage your capacity. Also if you agree to take someone's reservation over the phone, you should abide by what you promised. The saving grace was the food was decent but not good enough to salvage the entire experience as my whole family and I still left in distaste and a ruined mood for the whole evening. Since then, I've been hesitant to go back at all but I have with other friends and I'm glad to say that their service was much better those times. The first impression still means a lot to me and my family will probably remember them by that only experience as well so I decided to give them 3 stars for slight redemption and their food. Staying open-minded and I've been going back because I believed in giving them second chances. Since then, they have yet to disappoint. read more

I went there last year since I tend to try a new area restaurant with my friend. The food was delicious and the portions were sizable. We were there after the lunch rush so that we could talk and relax. It was pretty good because with less other customers they have more time to focus on you. The comfort is decent since the benches are easy to get up from. At that time it was before my knee surgery so it was much appreciated. read more

Great service and wonderful food. Enjoyed the green curry. Quiet and comfortable ambiance.

Just what i needed! I was so excited when this restaurant popped up on "places near by"! I went to the Salem Mass location some years ago and i remembered that the food was awesome. I came to this location and was not disappointed. I was just happy that i didnt have to eat salad at a burger joint because of my gluten free vegetarian gut. I had ginger curry with tofu and fried tofu instead! Waaay better read more

Food is good. I usually get the drunken noodles. Been there many times with wife. She complained about noodles on your dish being too hard. My complaint with the many times I've been there is the service. Usually one waitress and when you get your food she never comes back to check on you. read more

Sawasdee Thai Cuisine - Drunken Noodles - Thai Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Sawasdee has quickly become one of my favorite places to get take out in the Hershey area! I stopped by the other day in person and it was even better dining in. I got the drunken noodles and my friend got the Thai smoked chili with cashew. Both were great, but my favorite was definitely the Thai smoked chili. Be careful with the spice levels. They only have mild medium and hot. I like to think I can handle my spice but the medium was more like a 6.5-7.5/10! Make sure you try Sawasdee if you're in the area or even if you're local and haven't stopped in yet! read more

Most of our food tastes great, pad thai was good and really recommend the pineapple fried rice. Wonton soup and mushroom soup not that great though, wonton soup was okay and mushroom soup too salty. Service was good but be warned- automatic tip of 25% applied to party of 7. read more

This was the best Thai food I have ever had. It was nice to get out of the corporate dining and eat at a mom and pop place with excellent, fresh and flavorful food. Casual with personal service. read more

Excellent food and service- highly recommended if you like Thai cuisine ! Been a regular there and keep coming back.

Most of the times the food is great but there are times when we are disappointed with our takeout. We rarely dine in and pickup Thai here and sushi next door, it works out in pleasing the family's palette. read more

This was my second time visiting Sawasdee Thai Cuisine, and as a newfound fan of Thai food, I was very impressed with last time's meal and even more impressed this time. Everything I ordered was exceptional, delicious and fresh. The service was friendly and quick. The table was clean and neatly set, and there was a view to the outside from a window. I'm glad that I have a place to get outstanding Thai food so close to home! Not a single complaint from either visit, and definitely will be returning soon! read more

Delicious food every time. Take out is a breeze. Food is consistent and the pork egg rolls are heaven.

We ordered an UberEats Order and they gave our food to the wrong person and refused to remake our food when our driver arrived. Now no restaurants are open nearby because it's been 2 hours since the order was placed. Do better. It's a shame because we've ordered from them at least 6 times in the past 3 months and this situation put a bad taste in our mouth. read more

We ordered Pad See Ew on DoorDash and the portion size was very big but I didn't really like the flavor of their sauce. Food was fresh and arrived hot. read more

Amazing place to go! I would highly recommend you try this place. It is good for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The service was excellent, the waiter we had was respectful and the food came right on time. Food was amazing! We ordered: Asparagus in Garlic Sauce: 9/10 Thai Chili Tofu with Pepper: 8/10 Pad Thai: 9/10 -- Flavorful and Delicious! Comes with very few vegetables though :( Fried Tofu: 7/10 -- lacking flavor a bit but sauce was good! Thai Ice Tea: 10/10 -- Amazing! Sweet in the perfect amount. Ambiance was really great, the decorations were really cute and the host made us feel at home. It was honestly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. read more

This is a lovely restaurant, small yet comfortable and a kid-friendly environment. The staff appear rather soft-spoken, but they're attentive and courteous. They are BYOB but offer a decent variety of non-alcoholic drinks. Their desserts are very limited, but I've personally never tried them. What they lack in sweets, however, they make up for in amazingly savory food. Their meals are marked according to spice tolerance, but even the hotter dishes are full of flavor. Going here for lunch or dinner is always a treat and I'm never left unsatisfied. All in all, this is a great place to eat. If you're looking for something with fancy décor and a full bar, you won't find it here. What you will find, however, is good food and good service and that's nothing to complain about. read more

The special mango curry was amazing. Not too spicy and we ended up using the mango a few days later to marinate the chicken. We also got the chicken pad Thai and it was just the right seasoning. The server who I think is the co-owner was friendly and efficient with service. Afterwards, we went to the Hershey Story Museum that is a straight path about 10 minutes away. We will be back when we are in the area. read more
