The food was good but the heat temperature (1-5) was not made correctly. Not hot enough but okay. It took awhile to get out food but the server was friendly. The man that took our order but didn't serve us. I did have to get up and ask for our check and box for our leftovers. The dining area is in a big room with many tables. read more

Love the Massaman Curry with chicken as a to go meal! Have enjoyed it here for years.

I'm gonna be honest. This was not on my list of spots to check out, but it was a post-museum lunch. It was quieter than I expected for a Saturday around 1 p.m., but that worked out in our favor, as the service was quick, and so was the preparation of the entrees. I'm going to guess by the decor that this place is busier for dinner time since it has a moodier, intimate vibe. I have my go-to dishes for when I dine at a Thai restaurant. It's either the laab, pad see ew, or a curry. The server was helpful with our questions, but this time, I rolled the dice on the house specialty menu with the grapow, and it did not disappoint. My dining partner asked what I had ordered as soon as it arrived at the table. How could you not? A fried egg and a rangoon garnish! Then, later, I confirmed that I ordered the better meal of the two of us after I let them try a bit. Go ahead, be adventurous. The food here might surprise you. read more

Sawasdee Thai Cuisine - Gaprow - Thai Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Thoroughly enjoyed my time and food here at Sawadesi Thai Cuisine. It's situated right on the busy 119th Street, and I think it has a good center point for Overland Park, Olathe, and Lenexa. For me the ambience - 5/5, food quality - 5/5, cleanliness - 5/5, service - 5/5, and I definitely think this restaurant deserves way more than the current Yelp rating. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with beautiful Christmas decorations adding fun holiday touch and a very clean space with good ambience. There was a TV playing down the hall showing beautiful visuals of Thailand and nice soothing music in the background. We were seated by a very sweet staff member, and for our appetizers - we just ordered two big bowls of Tom Kha soup - one with shrimp and another with chicken. For our main course, we shared a lemongrass stir fry which had pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, and lots of veggies. And for the dessert, we got the mango sticky rice topped with sweet coconut milk. The soups came in a huge portion and were really tasty. I just hope they could cut the chicken pieces in the chicken Tom Kha soup a little smaller since they were huge, but the shrimp were perfect. The stir fry tasted unique with the lemongrass, and all the meats were cooked well, and I really enjoyed it. Dessert - I felt the mango sticky rice pudding was a bit too sweet for me, but overall a great dish. We arrived around 5 PM and then saw that they were serving dinner on Saturday for the whole day. The staff also said that they would be open on Christmas Day and New Year's - incase we don't feel like cooking home and want to have delicious food :) After we were seated, I saw a lot of crowd coming in and one of the common dishes I observed them ordering were the spicy crab rangoons!! They are definitely on my must try list from here. I also saw that they had a few more specials running in December and saw that it includes a duck corn and bacon dumplings- leckerrr. Love that the pricing is better than the Thai restaurants around, giving you an upscale experience with great food for a manageable price. Parking isn't an issue because there is plenty available. I will be back to try more dishes and recommend everyone to visit and show them some love. read more

Great food. We've been here a couple times now and once again everything was delicious. Staff is really nice and always helpful. Friday night 6pm and it's not busy so that's a plus for me.

What a delightful atmosphere. We were greated and seated promptly. Our server was pleasant and efficient. The food was flavorful and the heat was just right. I ordered Beef Gaprow to compare with the same dish from another Thai restaurant. It was delicious and a little wetter than the other Gaprow, which I enjoyed as the extra moisture comlemented the rice. Definitely a place worth returning to. read more

Great service from the moment we arrived. The ambiance was typical and quiet. Came in on a weekday for dinner and not very busy. We started with the chicken satay and it was delicious with peanut sauce. We also had the Tom Yum soup and it was good but not great. It didn't come with fire to keep it hot and didn't have the tang that I crave. Overall it was good Thai food but not the best I've ever had. read more

Stopped in here for a late dinner with some friends, cute little dining area. There is a bar connected by the front door, did look limited on alcohol choices. The waitress was quick to the table and had suggestions for those that didn't have their minds made up. Shortly after ordering we received the Spicy Rangoon, which had just enough heat to taste it. I ordered the Sam Rod entrée with beef, there was a lot of food. This will be added to my list of Thai places in the area. read more

This review is for late lunch for two at the bar on a weekday in mid-May. service: Waitress was super friendly and very accommodating. She was helpful with menu and right there if we needed anything. bar: Pretty good selection of beer, cocktails, and wine. I drank a Boulevard Pale Ale ($5.50 as of 05/2025). food: We split three appetizers: Soft Spring Rolls were excellent and it's a generous amount ($8.00), Chicken Laab was great and not too spicy ($11), and the Tiger Cry Beef was very good and the sauce is extremely spicy, but great ($10). details: Restaurant reasonably large with many booths and tables. Lots of surface parking right outside. Quiet, muted, and relaxing interior. read more

Finally tried this Thai spot. My friends have been recommending it since I moved here 6 months ago. They were right. It's delicious! So many yummy choices but I went with the Curry Flight. I love to taste different flavors so give me a variety option like a flight and I'm in! The only down side is that they pick the curries and out of about 6 or 7 choices, you get red, yellow, and Panang. Delicious but I really wanted to try their green, Massuman, and Jungle curry as my 3 selections. I'll have to try each one of those separately. I still recommend it and all 3 of those curries were tasty. My partner got the Tamarind Chicken and other dishes at the table like Tom Ka soup, coconut shrimp, and Pad Thai were all delicious! Especially the Tom Ka. One of the best I've tasted. I'll be having that again! It was busy with a few larger parties and only a couple of servers so a bit slow at times but they hustled and got us what we needed! It was my friend's bday and even though they don't do anything for birthdays, our server stopped by to lead us all in singing happy birthday! Very, very nice people working there! The restaurant is really clean and elegant with ample seating and warm light. They are open on Christmas Day, so I may be back then since I can only take so much holiday food! I have had a few bad experiences with Thai food over the last few years and had moved more toward other styles of food but Sawasdee has restored my faith in Thai! I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

My husband and I ate here for first time tonight and we WILL be back. Food was phenomenal. The server recommended 1/2 spicy Rangoon and 1/2 regular. They were fresh and delicious. I ordered the chicken pad Thai (hot) and my husband ordered the shrimp pad thai (medium) and both were delicious. I'll admit, I was sweating a bit when eating mine but our server kept our drinks filled and even brought out a can of sprite to keep up with my refills our server was hilarious and truly made our night. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Delicious food. Tried some new dishes I've never had before and they were all great Watch out on the spice tho. I got medium spice and it melted me read more

Went back and had the egg rolls and the drunken noodles with tofu... Both seriously delicious. There are no duds at this place!

Consistently well cooked, with the spice level I ask for, and packaged perfectly for delivery.

Great food and service. The menu has a nice selection for all the guests in our party. Would definitely return.

Ordered takeout recently and got the green curry with chicken. It was SO flavorful I was disappointed when I was full! Highly recommend

Let me start off by saying the salad rolls were flavorless. I don't believe I ordered vegetarian but that's what I got. The Vietnamese rice noodles were brown I don't think I've ever had these rice noodles brown like that before it was a little concerning. The dipping sauce was from a jar. I'm sure of it and not enough for two rolls. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp. The shrimp was incredibly fishy. I don't think I've ever had shrimp with a fishy taste. I ended up just throwing away the entire order. It just kind of made me feel not very good. I will not be back. read more

Sawasdee Thai is always fantastic. I've been coming here for years and the quality is consistent every time. My favorite dishes are the Phad Sea Eaw (a noodle dish) and Tom Yum soup. Tom Yum is a lemongrass chicken soup and Sawasdee's version is the best I've ever had. I also love spicy items and they are able to kick it up if requested. read more

We love their food and service. This is where I learned to love Thai food. I go for the pad see eu with tofu at medium plus heat or the gaprow with pork and no bell peppers. read more

Met a good friend here for lunch. I had the chicken pad Thai lunch portion. It comes with soup or a salad. I chose the salad and liked the fresh ingredients and dressing. They will make the Pad Thai as spicy or as mild as you wish. I liked it. read more

I was always going to give this place four stars until the Cook came out and started playing classical music on the piano. That just blew my mind. We came here on a Saturday evening and I wish a place like this was more packed. We had the pad Thai and it was delicious. The spring rolls were just the spring rolls nothing too memorable. But I will come back to watch that Cook play piano again and enjoy more pad Thai. read more

Great food. Tasty. Great Phad Thai! The creme Brule cheese cake was good. Nice folks, perfect service. Reasonable pricing. Recommended. All the need to do is install better padded booth seating. clean,pleasant space. read more

The basil chicken wings are must try, my family gets them every time we go. Service is friendly and the restaurant is clean. One thing is they are missing hot pot soups on their menu. read more

I ordered pickup from Sawasdee. They packaged the food nicely and it was still warm when I got home. We got Pad Thai and Panang Curry. The food was pretty good and there aren't any complaints. It hits the spot when you're craving Thai food, so I was happy about that! I would say that the food was pretty sweet, but that was expected from Thai food, so nothing major there. I will also say that warming up the food for leftovers was of course delicious as well. Sometimes leftovers can taste really good, and there was no exception here. Overall great place! read more

Best Thai I've had in the Overland Park area and decent compared to other places I've tried around the country. I've been three so I had an opportunity to sample the same dishes twice and verify consistency. Far warning I can't take heat so when I say an item is hot, it's probably fine for 99.9% of the people. The egg rolls were standard fair however they weren't greasy so that was a great sign. The Tom Kha soup was really good but a tad spicy for me. The coconut was so silky and luxurious I kept wanting more. I had it with pork which was cooked fine and a generous helping was given. I loved the subtle hint of lemongrass. Here is where I get into consistency as everyone makes Pad Thai, the national dish of Thailand, differently. I opted for the Pad Thai mild with Shrimp. I counted 8 huge, perfectly cooked shrimp, the noodles were what I expected in the form of Sen Yai (think of rice noodles shaped like linguini) without being gummy, raw bean sprouts (some cook it), etc. I could pick up with salty fish sauce, a nice hit of Tamarind paste, and palm sugar. Everyone has a definition of "authentic" and this was mine. Next I tried the Garee Curry (yellow) with pork. I love this dish so much and they nailed it. Again the nailed what I know as "authentic" with carrots, potatoes, onions and meat. The coconut milk was so satisfying while the heat from the curry was perfect. The jasmine rice was fragrant and didn't stick together. I've tried a few Thai places and this location is my personal favorite. read more

Our dishes were pretty good! The Laab salad was smaller than I expected. It felt like a blanket of (delicious) spiced pork over a tiny lost pile of shredded cabbage. I'd say: quadruple the veggies and we'd be good. The other two dishes were massive (fried basil rice and vegetable lovers entree with beef), and well flavored. The staff were kind, quick and helpful on a Wednesday evening. Although when I asked for a side of peanut sauce to go with our leftovers, she brought an empty container and I had to fill it with the small bit of sauce we had left. Too bad because it was so good!! I'd love to come back. It was a very nice Thai experience. Thank you!! read more

Good food simple as that! Love to get some to go. 2 to 3 times a month. Never busy for dinner.

I started ordering from here on Door Dash but I actually dined in on Valentines weekend. My orders are always good! I love starting off with the Chicken Satay, the peanut sauce that comes with it is amazing! I've had the pad Thai, pad sa eww, pad kee mow, the curries, basil fried rice, it's all good! I get them mild spice or No spice depending on which spice level I want, but med. is a bit spicy. read more

Tasty food, but the service was awful. Instead of being greeted when I walked through the door, I was greeted with "Can I help you?" as if I wasn't supposed to be there. The servers acted as if I was bothering them for merely choosing to eat there. Despite the decent food, the rude service means I'll never eat there again. There are far too many other options in the area to put up with such hostility. read more

Food was overly sweet. The only reason why i gave it 2 stars insteas of one is because our waiter did his best. The waitress, was rude and looked very irritated and was not happy. The phad thai is usually sweet wherever you go, but here it tasted like dessert. The massaman curry was disappointing too. Very sweet, tasted like Hoisin Sauce galore. The green curry was also very sweet. The basil fried rice, thank goodness i ordered it, was the best dish. Flavor was balanced and you can definitely taste the basil, definitely a plus. read more

Sawasdee Thai Cuisine - Basil fried rice - Thai Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

It's no secret to any who follow my Yelp feed that I love Asian foods... among my favorites is Thai, and I love trying places where I've never been. At a friend's invitation I found myself at Sawasdee Thai in Overland Park for lunch today. I'd seen it many times as my barber is in the same shopping center, but I'd never gotten around to trying it. The venue itself is nice enough. It's appointed with all kinds of culturally appropriate decor. The owners obviously put in some effort to make it feel nice... the overall impression is pretty, although not "fancy." For my meal I ordered my go-to Thai dish: Grapow with beef, medium heat, and a house salad. The small salad was primarily iceberg lettuce, which was crisp and well chilled, and included a few carrot shreds and some chopped peanut. It was dressed with a sweet vinaigrette that was quite tasty. The lunch plate was exactly what I expected, and it was suitably prepared. The serving size seemed a bit disproportionate with the rice looming significantly larger than the entree itself. The Rangoon was sweet and well prepared. The Grapow was also very good. The heat was just right... and that's sometimes a gamble with Thai. ;-) On the whole, my experience was fine. It won't make my "short list" of favorite Thai food restaurants as there are other Thai places nearby that I would choose before this one, but at the same time I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Sawasdee if I were asked. read more

i have returned a number of times in hopes i would fall in love with their food. i have ordered their jungle curry, their massaman curry, their grapow, their teriyaki chicken.. they were all alright. all dishes were saucy but had nothing outstanding about their flavor profile. everything tasted sweet, and that's been as much as i have gathered from said dishes. i wish their teriyaki chicken offered more than what felt like another quick chinese takeout. but, listen, that just might be your thing so knock yourself out! their staff seem attentive, so there is that. read more

The Pad Se Ew is ok and the Pad Thai is a little less ok, but tolerable. Whatever you do, do not get the Massaman Curry. It is NOT authentic. Massaman Curry should be bright orange and thin and should taste like curry with peanuts in the stew, not brow and thick and taste like peanut butter, flavored with curry. I used to like this place more, but it has changed since we started going there. read more

A perfect business meal or date spot. Classy, delicious, lots of choices, and every dish is expertly made and the service is spot on. Try the crab rangoon. My wife and I love these over anywhere else. They use a thin wonton wrapper and it makes them unique and delicious with a wonderful crunch. I like the Pad Thai noodles with extra peanuts, medium. My wife likes the pineapple fried rice thai hot. Warning, order one step milder than you think the first time, get the full flavor, then on your next visit step it up and watch the flavor explode even more. So delicious. Thai food is the only food where I will push the heat to my breaking point because the flavor is worth the internal struggle :-) One sure-fire place to take a date for a great first impression. read more
