We are a family of 5 with 3 who aren't particularly adventurous, so this was our first time to try Thai food as a family. I am happy to say that our experience was amazing. Every one of us tried something different and every one of us couldn't have been more happy with the taste and quality of the food. The Thai tea was so fresh and the best I have ever had. The service was impeccable. We are from a different state, but will go out of our way to return if we are ever even close to the area again. Thai food might not be top of mind when visiting Hershey, but do yourself a favor and give this place a try. read more

So, I was raised in an area with a very large concentration of Asian immigrants, so eating authentic Thai food was a huge part of my childhood. I'm never sure what I'll find in Central PA! I thought the Thai iced tea was far too sweet, and the pork egg roll lacked strong flavors, but the red curry was the best I've had. I will say, the takeout containers aren't great for curry and it all spilled on the way home. So tasty though! I should add the service was exceptional - warm, really friendly, from the host offering us a choice of seating to the timely nature of the food served. Also, the food was presented in a beautiful way. Highly recommend read more

They don't do delivery but I'm so, so glad we decided to uber over to Sawasdee because it was the best fried rice I've had in a looong time. I got #43 on the menu - jasmine rice with Thai seasoning, egg, tomato, onion, and scallion with pork. I asked for broccoli as well to add some more vegetables. It was a huge portion and perfectly seasoned, not overly salty. Definitely didn't expect that Hershey would have the best Thai food around but do yourself a favor and check this place out! (I was so hungry and the food smelled so good I didn't stop to take a picture.) read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Hershey. Awesome Thai food. We eat here multiple time per month. The staff is very nice as well.

Drunken noodle was flavorful but not spicy. Pad see ew was good. Crispy tofu was well fried. Pad Thai was not authentic at all. Heavy fish sauce flavor and too much soggy noodles and lack of other ingredients read more

Thai food with some hits and misses. Of course after a few Days Inn Hershey we got fed up with all the bar and grills and all the steak we can handle. We wanted a little bit of change and being massive Thai food fans this place fit the bill. When it comes to tom yum soup I want my nose running after my second sip. Unfortunately that's not the case here. I'd say it was much more sour than sweet, yet ok tasting with a ton of mushrooms, seriously a ton of shrooms. Shrimp pad thai was a bit of a travesty. The noodles remind me of thin linguine with slightly larger than average shrimp that were a little overcooked but tasty. Pad Thai is a staple and I was rather disappointed with their gooey flavorless version to say the least. Also, definitely kind of shocked that they didn't have limes. Really, no limes? The Massimo with chicken was extremely soupy, more so like a big bowl of soup and to be perfectly honest with you filled with tons of half cut potatoes and mildly curry seasoned. I really would have liked more onions as well. I wasn't a huge fan of this dish. Now, the stir fry shrimp with snow peas was the one dish that really stood out for us. Quite flavorful and a little more complex than the other dishes with plenty of shrimp and snow peas. I would definitely give that a thumbs up. The portions are ample and the service was extremely friendly. They do charge $2 for thai tea, a big boo so, we passed. Clean with plenty of seats. There's accommodations for those gluten-free folks which is a plus and it's a BYOB another bonus. In an area that is devoid of the Asian persuasion it may be worth the try. But for a Thai lover like me, I'll pass by. read more

Good food and good serving size! Super close to Hershey Park which is definitely a plus.

This is my first experience with Thai food and I am impressed. My fiancé and I ordered two different curries and they were both so flavorful, unique and definitely comfort food. A great value, too. We ordered carry out and got 2-3 servings out of each meal. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Got take out one time and loved it! Really can't wait to dine in. It was a Valentine's Day dinner and my wife and took it back to the hotel and just sampled many different things. Highly recommend. read more

We had chicken pad Thai and another noodle dish. Both were good, only odd note was trying to tell if the other noodle dish and the sauce in it, which it did, but was just a more neutral color and blended in. Pricing was okay, and they noted on the door pricing had recently increased. read more

The food we picked up was warm and delicious We got vegetable pad thai and snow pea chicken Both excellent read more

My wife wide and a shared a fried calamari appetizer. Nicely cooked with a pleasant dipping sauce. I then had wonton soup and Drunken Noodles. Both were very good, though the noodles were not as spicy as I was hoping. Service was also good. Given how busy it became while we were there, a little slowness was more than forgivable. This was our first visit, but it will not be the last. read more

I have been there twice now and had great food and service both times. I highly recommend.

Pleasantly surprised! I cannot say how authentic it is, however I have eaten at several differ Thai restaurants over the years and this is one of the top ones in my book. I got curry and my husband got pad Thai, taste and we both enjoyed our selections very much. Plan to visit again and try some other entrees as well! read more

The food has been excellently prepared and savory as of late, with too many dishes to recommend. The wait staff is pleasant and friendly.

The best Thai food around hands down. Everything is delicious. Worth the drive! Fresh always! Delicious iced coffee and sticky mango rice, everything! read more

We picked up food from here twice during our three day stay at Hershey. Both times we got the Pad Thai and Green Curry. Both dishes were flavorful and delicious. And very generous portion sizes. We also tried the HoyJow appetizer which was fried bean curd skin stuffed with meat. It was also very tasty. Too bad I don't live closer to this restaurant because I definitely would be a regular. I'll have to wait until the next time I visit Hershey. read more

Wonderful peaceful experience. Service was attentive and friendly, and the food was fresh and delicious. Healthy and perfectly flavored. What a joy to eat here read more

The last few time I went there the food was ok at best. I use to go often and enjoyed what I thought was the best Thai around. I'm not sure what happened but I've been very disappointed at the quality read more

Fantastic friendly service and great food! I dine here when traveling for business and when I walk in they remember the face and what my order is. Mind blowing! Drunken Noodles and Vegan Soup are always spot on and very tasty. If you're looking for great Thai food, this is the place! read more

I've ordered here a few times the food was fresh and brilliant. It has a flair that's great. It always leaves you wanting more.

Finally..a restaurant that serves delicious Thai food in the Hershey area! Every dish that we ordered was fresh tasting and flavorful! Sawasdee did not disappoint! Looking forward to returning! read more

Just discovered this place about a week ago and have already been there twice... the food is amazing, super fast, and the people are very nice. I've ordered to-go both times, but plan on dining in next time... the restaurant environment is so peaceful, clean, and quiet and would also make for a perfect place for a date night! Highly recommend. read more

Sawasdee Thai Cuisine - Delicious Ginger curry with chicken! (Note: I added the romaine... it does not come with lettuce!) - Thai Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

We have eaten here a few times over the past few years of living in the area. The food is good, but there have been times with slower service and it was unclear to us that the restaurant was doing take-out only in spring 2021. However, these are small things in the grand scheme. Good food. Fun to have a Thai restaurant in the Hershey/Palmyra area. Check it out! read more

Everything here is overpriced by about 2-3 dollars based on the quality of the food, and the portions. Noodle dishes and fried rice are adequate, but stay away from the entrees.. the appetizers are also way over priced for what you get..got take out, and was hugely disappointed with the food and prices. They are located outside of Hersey , more towards Palmyra but are sucking in that tourist ka-ching..they had great social distancing when I picked up my order, only to see the lady with a face mask under her nose, and the chef come out of the kitchen with no mask at all. Will travel to Harrisburg for Thai.. read more

I rarely leave a one-star review after a first visit or over one bad dish - cooking is challenging and everyone has off nights, bad luck, etc. But after my takeout experience at Sawasdee...I just have to. My dish was incredibly bland. Like, so bland that it was difficult to eat. After a few bites of texture but no flavor, I resorted to Sriracha sauce to make it palatable. But my partner's dish really solidified it. It, too, was bland, with the exception of a "sauce" that can only be described as sugar water. She, too, had to resort to Sriracha sauce to get through it. The Harrisburg area has some great Thai food - at times, right up there with what we had in Thailand. But Sawasdee doesn't appear to be one of them. Based on other reviews, maybe we just had terrible luck, but I can't imagine we'll ever be back to find out. read more

Very tasty spicy chicken dish, the red curry a bit watery and lacking flavor. Portions a bit small. Very friendly staff

Sawasdee is amazing! My favorite meal everbis the chicken Pad Woon Sen. Everything is delicious and service is spot on.

Being new to the area, I ordered chicken pad thai takeout from here, looking for a replacement for my go-to place back in Pittsburgh (which is Noodlehead, by the way). The food was fine, but wasn't anything special or worth writing home about. If anything, it was no where near hot enough as it came. The portion was quite large, so I was able to split it up into two separate meals, which is always a win. After sitting in the fridge for a while and with the addition of a lot more heat, it was a very adequate pad thai. I most likely will be going back, just knowing that I will have to do some at-home modifications. read more

Service seems a bit lacking. My two friends and I had ordered our food but were kept waiting for some time. I noticed that another group came in after us and had been neglected for a good 15 minutes or more before their order was taken. Well they got their food first. When one of us asked the server who had dropped off the other group's dishes, he claimed they were still cooking it and gave a bit of attitude a sour face. Our food was brought over a few minutes over, but my dish was the wrong one. I ordered Thai Chili with Cashews but didn't have any. Food was kind of meh. I shall not return. read more

Swasdee is a gem on E Chocolate Ave. We went out on a late Saturday afternoon. I am guessing it wasn't very crowded since people are only beginning to know of this place. The restaurant has a relaxing vibe. The iced coffee with cream was yummy. The wait time for food seemed perfect. We ordered the pineapple fried rice with vegetables and the masaman curry with chicken. Portion size for each dish was generous and can be shared by 2. Do not forget to try the sticky rice with mango as a dessert, you will be glad you did. read more

Great spot if you're looking for some good Thai food in the Hershey area. Our orders have always been ready on time for pick up. The staff is friendly and responsive. We've really enjoyed their Thai curry dishes! read more

Wow I am so glad I tried this place - first the service was great- prompt and friendly - I started with the pork egg rolls with Thai pineapple sauce - delicious. I then had a small Tom yum seafood soup - very good with just enough spice - glad it wasn't overly spicy because of what was to come. I had the angry noodles with shrimp and I asked the waitress if is was spicy and she said medium- omg I am so very glad I didn't ask to make it more spicy because it was plenty - probably the spiciest medium I've ever had but it was absolutely fantastic and I managed to eat the whole dish. I'm just getting over a cold and this definitely cleared my sinuses. Servings were large and I will absolutely come back again. read more

Second time here last month. Only come to town once a year and look forward to my visit to Sawasdee. Didn't disappoint. Always great food and friendly staff. Good vegetarian options available. read more

My husband and I stopped by at Sawasdee for lunch the other week. The lunch menu is pretty comprehensive and reasonably priced. My husband's drunken noodles with combo meat was surprisingly good (I don't know what I expected but it was better than I expected). My go-to-dish, Tofu with veggies, did not disappoint. Even as a lunch special, the portion was generous enough for me to bring home some for later. Our server was friendly and attentive which makes the dining experience even better. We've been here for dinner once but will come back again for dinner soon. read more

Best tasting green curry with chicken I've ever had. And I've had a lot . Quality and quantity were really fair for the price. A+++. Highly recommended. read more

The front of house was very nice and modern feeling, however there were things that needed some attention, one thing I noticed was crumbs on my table and on the booth seat. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of service I received, my fiancé and I were quite disappointed in the fact that our meal dragged out for well over an hour, it would have been faster to just get take out. It was also disappointing that they forgot to bring us one of the appetizers that we had ordered. They also lacked to ask us for any drink orders... water is fine I guess. Now to the food, as a chef; who has grown up with Thai cuisine, and Thai culture in my house. That was one of the most disappointing Pad Thais I have ever had , I didn't get much of any salty , sweet, sour, spicy or umami that you would typically expect when eating a pad Thai. My fiancé described her dish as mushy unfortunately as well. It was disappointing to see two noodle dishes take over an hour to prepare come out the way they did. I'm not sure if some of the other people who have reviewed have actually had authentic Thai food before , or if I just came in at a bad time or the cooks are adjusting to local flavor, but thank you for reassuring me that I can make it better at home. read more

We had green curry with tofu, Penang curry with tofu, drunken noodles with chicken, yum neu, and mixed vegetables with shrimp for 5 people and had plenty of leftovers. I was a little disappointed that the green curry is about 4x the size of Penang curry for the same price but it was so delicious that I'm not taking a star off. Will be back for sure when we are in the area! read more

First day we went here half hour before closing time and it was all dark and closed Second day we came back and it was half an hour before closing and we came in, and they turned us away because they said they were closed. We said the door said 10pm. They said oh but the kitchen is closed. what the hell? I wasn't aware restaurants have closing time and kitchen closing time. I recommend you guys just put the time when you don't want customers walking through that door anymore read more

Was hungry for some spicy food and Central Pennsylvania really is the land of bland. Ordered up a green curry with shrimp and wanted Thai eggplant. The friendly staff informed me that they don't serve eggplant because people in the area don't like it. I realized that I never asked about the spice of the food because nothing is spicy around here. Went up to the staff and asked if the food is spicy by default and they said that they don't add any spice unless people ask. Who orders not spicy Thai food? I went with one bellow hottest and it was at the expected level of heat from other Thai restaurants. I think this is the only restaurant in Hershey where I would gladly eat again. read more
