Outstanding quality. Highly recommended. The food we've ordered had always been above expectations.

BEST THAI FOOD I'VE HAD IN THE LOU! I went for a weekend night dinner with my boyfriend and his fam, and even with the chilly weather, Thai Sawadee was happening! Environment: 5/5. Well decorated, trendy feel, good for date night! Food: 4.5/5 We ordered the red chicken curry, spicy beef, pineapple fried rice, and the curry pot stickers. The curry pot stickers are a rip-off- only 4 pot stickers for $7, seriously?! But the food is tasty! The chicken and beef were so tender. Spicy beef was a little salty, but the favorite of the night. Service: 4/5 We waited maybe 45 minutes for the check, and asked for it more than twice! It seems like a family run business, and the daughter/waitress probably in high school appeared overwhelmed and confused. Will be coming back for more! read more

We order from here multiple times a month. We always get the vegetable noodle soup and fried tofu. I find that a lot of their dishes with sauce are too runny. Even the Thai sawadee chicken we used to get has become watery. But we do love this place and will continue to order our regular items. read more

Delicious food, generous portions, beautiful ambiance! Pretty easy online ordering for takeout, too. Love their curries!

I would say Thai sawadee is our go to thai restaurant in the area. Try their Pad thai, Nam tok beef, spicy basil beef, and chicken satay. I also like their Papaya salad, soo good! And if you are feeling like having soup, their beef noodles soup has a very flavorful broth. It has a good number of meat and a right amount of noodles in it. I like going there during lunch time. Although it is busy, their lunch prices are better. read more

Thai Sawadee - Beef noodle soup - Thai Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

I think this the best Thai food in West St. Louis County. Small venue, friendly staff.

Food was fantastic, as usual. I got the Khao Soi and it was enough for 2 hungry people. Usually get the Nam Tok beef salad but was thinking about chill outside. Service was impeccable. Will return soon. read more

Ooowee, Thai Sawadee...for dinner Friday night. Pretty good experience. I wavered between 3 and 4 stars, but ultimately had to go with three. This pleasant place is tucked at the end of the stip bldg in the Hilltown Schnucks shopping ctr. It's pretty innocuous from the outside. However, there is a nice set up inside. It's not large, but cozy, with well maintained fixtures, and Thai decor that adds to the atmosphere without becoming cheesy or tacky. The staff were all very nice, attentive, polite, and good at their jobs. Seems like a lot of reviewers have commented on this, but it's true. They kept my wife's an my hot green decaf tea pots full, kept the extra water glasses full that I also requested, and were careful to not be obtrusive when filling the drinks or removing plates. When we arrived at 6 pm, we were the only customers, which always worries me a bit, even though it was still early. But by the time we finished eating and left, there were probably about 8 tables, or 2/3 full. When we were seated - and I noticed this for patrons coming after us - the seater was careful to make sure people didn't get seated with the hot sun shining on them. A small touch, perhaps, but it showed their attitude for the customers. So for drinks, the wife and I each got hot green decaf tea. I would have liked it iced, and could have poured it over ice, but the flavor was so pleasant, i didn't want to mute it with ice. The daughter got a Thai Iced Tea. It came out in a tall thin flute, topped with whipped cream. It was very strong and very sweet - good stuff! For dinner, wife had veggie Thai tofu, daughter had chicken yellow curry, and I had shrimp pineapple curry (one of their signature dishes). All three dishes were well prepared, attractively presented, and were flavorful. The menu describes the amount of heat in the different curry dishes, which is nice. They say they will also adjust heat to your preferences, although we didn't have this done. Highlights: The tofu pieces soaked up a lot of the good flavor, and had a nice, slightly crispy exterior. The yellow curry sauce was tasteee! The shrimp pineapple curry comes in a hollowed out half pineapple. And there is a LOTof shrimp in it. Interesting and enjoyable mix of heat and sweet with the curry spice and pineapple. Not-so-highlights: Only for my shrimp pineapple curry - The shrimp could have had a little more flavor. Perhaps it should have simmered in the sauce longer. The dish also came out pretty warm, but not hot. And it cooled quickly. My best guess, from feeling the pineapple, is that the pineapple was refrigerated and caused the dish filling the hollowed out half to cool down. Prices seem a bit high, compered to other Thai places I have been (veggie Thai tofu = $14, chicken yellow curry = $14, shrimp pineapple curry = $19). Not outrageous, but still a bit up. However, for the quality, presentation, etc, I can't complain. Taking atmosphere, service, food, and price into account, I ended up at 3 stars, but pretty close to 4. read more

I love and frequent this place. Have never had a bad experience and all their food is delicious. Some of my favorites are the pad Thai, beef panang curry, spicy basil beef and cashew chicken. As well as the chicken satay, crying tiger, crunchy shrimp and crispy egg rolls for appetizers. The staff is also always so friendly and go above and beyond! AND huge portions, always lasts me 2 meals!! read more

Best Thai food in St. Louis. Period. Delicious flavors, authentic taste, great grilled chicken, not like some other Thai places with gross chicken pieces, amazing pad Thai, garlic chicken, curries, everything here is so tasty & authentic. We've been coming for years, a huge hit with family & friends. And blows local competitors out of the water. Always fresh & very flavorful read more

Amazing flavors! High quality! This one has been a family fav for a few years now. Haven't had a dish I didn't love!

Always a great meal. The personnel are great from the owner to the wait staff. Great choice if you need a quick Thai fix!!!

We had trouble ordering as we only speak English. Food was slow but pretty good. Order was confused apparently as the wrong dish had more spice. Try Addies; close by and much better. Pad Thai was ok; pad kee mau not good. read more

This is the BEST thai in STL. We go weekly The Panang n Pad Thai are so delish!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Food was the BEST amongst all other STL loved Thai restaurants, which makes me seriously question whether I have problem with my taste buds or people here likes shitty rice and lack of spice. Service was okay, but so far have not encountered any issue. A few comments about this place: - If you order Thai tea, their glass come extremely tall but the straw was the bent kind...Completely irrational. - Food portion is inconsistent to the price it charges, some are bigger than others. This is where the 1 star got taken off...The lunch was not cheap to begin with, but the dinner was, to me, outrageously expensive...Wish they could be cheaper. - Desert, not so good...My mistake of trying. I am pretty sure they use the wrong kind of sticky rice for the mango sticky rice (hard and difficult to chew). Would not order in the future. - Spicy level is also relative depending on chef's mood. read more

Thai Sawadee - Home made beef noodle soup, SO good! Wish could be a little less pricy :( - Thai Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

If you usually opt for, say, 4 out of 5 in terms of spiciness, dial it down to 2 out of 5 at this place. THEY ARE SPICY!! But, they are also super GOOD! VERY flavorful. Love the place. read more

Only stumbled on this humble corner place because I lived across the street and was desperately hungry. That was in 2013...I've been eating here almost weekly since and despite all my travels and food adventuring, it is still my favorite Thai restaurant (in the US anyway). My staple favorites are ALWAYS great and consistent every time I get them. Out of all these years, only once did they get my order wrong and they more than compensated by discounting me and giving me a free appetizer. The people who work here are wonderful, and the inside is also surprisingly beautiful with a good wine menu too. Humble & consistent little spot that I'll go to forever. read more

Best Thai fried rice dish I've had in all the 10+ thai places I've tried. The flavor is so distinct that I haven't tasted it at other Thai places. Damn I'm craving their food now and it's 11pm... damn it read more

Thai Sawadee is my favorite Thai place around the area. I was extremely surprised when I saw it only had 3.5 stars overall because it deserves way more. The restaurant itself is relatively small so I wouldn't recommend visiting during the lunch or dinner rush. Going a little before the rushes are probably the best times to go. All of the curries are extremely tasty and as of right now I have tried them all. None of them have been disappointing; however, the red curry will always be my favorite. The Pad Thai noodles are the best I've had in any Thai restaurant I've gone to. I always order extra broccoli and to my memory I don't think they charge too much extra if any at all unlike most Thai restaurants I've been to. The larb gai (I might've spelled that so so wrong I'm sorry) appetizer is a good, cheap meal to eat when your on a diet because it mostly consists of parched chicken and lettuce. It's so good and fills you up fast! Go check this place out for yourself. I highly recommend it. :) read more

Great service. Kind , courteous and on time. Food was delicious. We love their starters. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

I love this place and they used to have great food. Went there last night and was disappointed with my order. Ordered the halibut with curry, only to find 20% fish and 80% breading. I will have to revisit but will stay away from the halibut! read more

My husband and daughter were here on a Saturday and was extremely pleased with the food and service. I had the Kra Prow Frog Legs and it was outstanding! I've eaten frog legs since I was under 10 years old and never had them cooked in this sauce and presented in such an inviting manner. They also give you large serving sizes. I first ordered it with a Hotness of 3, but decided to tone it down since this was my first time at the establishment and I wasn't sure just how hot they may make it, so I changed it to a 2. I am SOOO glad I did. The 2 was still hot but bearable. Be careful when ordering with heat, you may be surprised with the level of heat. I can't say enough of how we enjoyed everything we ordered. Our waiter Mike was so friendly and accommodating. He came back at the appropriate times asking how we liked the food, if we needed anything, etc. I may be paraphrasing, I can't remember his exact words, but you get what I mean. There was another gentleman who filled our water consistently and was very nice as well. I've lived in the area for 20 years and did not not really take this restaurant into account. I'm so glad we tried it. read more

Thai Sawadee - Kra Prow Frog Legs It is outstandingly flavorful! - Thai Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

On a road trip right now. Went in for lunch on a weekday and place was full. Menu prices struck me a little high for lunch. My daughter got pad Thai. That is her go to. She loved it. I had the grouper Penang. It was a surprisingly big piece of fish. Came on a small bed of cabbage. Just my opinion but I'd loose the raw cabbage. And I asked for more curry. That's just me, I like a lot of curry. In the end, well worth a buck or two a dish more than I thought normal. Totally worth it. Great food and service. Would go back over and over if I lived here read more

The house had a craving for Thai. Since moving out to the county we really haven't tried to find a new Thai place. We didn't feel like all of us fighting with traffic so they volunteered me as a tribute to find and bring food home. I read that this place was a bit on the pricey side. They weren't kidding. A little sticker shock from small city places. BUT *protip* they serve the lunch menu till 4. I placed my order online a few minutes before 4 to take advantage of that. This way we could try a lot but not have a huge bill. Online ordering was seemless. Food was waiting for mewhen I arrived. Now the food. Pad Thai: of course you have to order The lunch comes with shrimp and chicken. I like it a lot; it was a bit greasy, but I think that was because it settled since we got to eat it at home. The Crying tiger was good; the spring rolls and the sauce were great! Ordered the lobster Rangoon for the SO; which he could not stop talking about. The basil beef dish we got was a 3 in spice; I love Thai spice so I thought I might be able to do a 4 next time but the average spice lover might want to stay at a 3. Only complaint is they up charge $3 for sticky rice. WHA???? All in all it was a gracious CLEAN place in Chesterfield. I might actually splurge for the dinner prices next time. read more

Excellent food...compliments to the chef! Service was good, not excellent, but very good. I had the red chicken curry and the hubs got the garlic and pepper scallops. The scallops were cooked perfectly!!! We will definitely be back. Quiet ambiance on our night. read more

The food is good, but gosh, the service is soooo sloooow during lunch. The last two times I was here, my group sat for at least twenty minutes before anyone took our order. Wouldn't recommend coming here for lunch during a workday if you're under time constraints! read more

We dropped in unexpectedly while driving around town. I can't believe they don't get better reviews. The food is phenomenal. I ordered the seafood lemongrass hot pot and my husband ordered the pineapple fried rice. I wish I'd taken photos because the presentation was beautiful. Would definitely drive to the area just to eat there again. So good. read more

This place is awesome! I wish we had such a. Good Thai place in my home town. The green curry was the best I've ever had, service was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommended read more

The food is immaculate weather you are ordering take out or dine in. Hidden treasure tucked away in the strip mall adjacent from the grocery store. read more

The best Thai in St. Louis. Nothing else is close. I have tried over ten different entrees and none of them disappoint.

I am staying in the hotel near this restaurant and I just got "Fried Rice - Roasted Chilli Shrimp", as labelled on their menu. I think it's from the dinner section. It was pretty good, the portion is probably enough to share or for two meals. I ordered it "hot" on the spice level and it was hot (some people in the reviews said the spice level was low for other items, for this one, it was spicy). read more

I ordered chicken Pad Thai 3 spicy. It wasn't spicy at all & very bland. Not the usual from this restaurant. Also ordered garlic beef again very bland no garlic or spicy. Very disappointed!!! read more

Oh my very goodness! I've been here to dine-in and you like spicy but very delicious...this is your place. I'm telling you the food is perfecto! I like basil, thyme, ginger, curry seasonings. This food is the very best Thai I came across so far. I still need to check out more places but I am convinced! The food is not heavy, they even have a designated person to answer the phones to place your order that speaks really well. I can't stop talking about the Penang grouper, beef soup, curry chicken, cashew chicken, Thai chicken. The basil leaves are drenched with flavor and I don't see the ginger but can taste it! Spectacular! read more

Thai Sawadee - Rama chicken...lunch special size from 11-4pm priced at $10 or $11. - Thai Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

Came here for a lunch date with locals the day after Christmas so it was pretty quiet and service was very quick and attentive. Lots of parking as it shares space with a Schnucks. Ordering hot tea gets you an individual cup and pot, which I enjoy mostly so I don't have to fight others for the teapot when I inevitably drink my weight in hot tea. More importantly, the food here is outstanding. We ordered the homemade beef noodle soup (huge bowl, very flavorful broth, generous portions of beef), nam tok beef (incredibly tender beef, spicy and sour and tasty), seafood noodle soup (again very generous portions), and even the classic pad thai was made very well. Prices skew a little high for St. Louis I guess, but I think you'll be satisfied with the quality and portion of food you receive. Seriously, I will be returning the next time I'm in St. Louis to try more off their menu. read more

We eat at Wan Fu a fair amount. Since 1999 we have had great food in house as well as take out! The family has always been so kind and they know us well. They always ask after us. They have since sold to family members due to their wanting to retire. Mr still comes in some. And as for the food, it is very good. I have tried the Mongolian beef, gen tso chicken, cashew Chicken, fried rices, Pad Thai and all the apps. The food is always well cooked with plenty of it and a good amount of meats/seafoods and veggies. It is all very good. The food has stayed consistent over the years even with the family members taking over. I hope you'll give them a try! Lunch is less expensive and a little smaller portions but still plenty of food. If you want a great place to eat where they will get to know you, this is a great choice! And in the current situation, you'll help out a small business! read more

Gotta be honest - I'm shocked at their 3.5 rating. I only review restaurants where I have great experiences (hence all of my 4 and 5 star reviews). If I have a problem with a restaurant I tell the owner, if I love it I tell the world. So I wasn't expecting much - I mean, Thai in Chesterfield is not exactly what I would think would be very good. But I went with my older relatives who like the place. Portions were large (my relatives all had lunch the next day from the take-homes). Yes, prices are high - I chalked it up to the real estate. Service was fast and attentive - I guess other reviewers had different experiences. But what got me was that the food was really, really good. So let me say this - if you are a Pad Thai only person then you might want to branch out. Pad Thai is like the low-fruit of the Thai food world, and quite frankly has been Americanized to a ridiculous homogenous mess. When a review says that is what they ordered I question the reviewer's experience with Thai food. That said, we all have different tastes and chefs can have bad nights. But my food...I had the flat noodle stir-fry with squid and shrimp. Not sure why i was craving squid but I was. I asked for a 4 (out of 5) spice and got what I would call a 3 but that was close enough. I also started with the larb app. Both had so much flavor, and were so carefully prepared (veg cuts and such) that I just had an amazing meal. I was sooo happy. The larb was served with a solid cabbage wedge which wasn't what I was used to - normally lettuce to scoop the meat into. But no biggie because the flavor was so good. And a last note on service. I was with 4 very slow orderers, one of which spilled and broke their wine glass sending shards of glass flying in all directions. If I were the server I would have been polite but grumpy. Ours (a young man) was so polite and understanding. He offered to replace all of our apps which had been the shatter zone - but we refused since it was our fault. All in all a great experience. IDK what to say about the negative reviews Try eating at off hours (we were Sunday at 5:30) and order something that you normally wouldn't. read more

Delicious food and professional service. I would recommend to anyone for most occasions and you won't be disappointed.

We had a planned double date with a couple from Chesterfield. This gave us the perfect opportunity to meet at Thai Sawadee. We arrived at 6:30pm, it was dimly lit and had a nice ambiance. We were seated quickly and helped by a very nice gentleman. Our drink orders were taken and we socialized for a while before placing our orders. My girl and I ordered Papaya Salad as an appetizer, Pad See Ew and Prik King Beef for dinner, and a side of fried rice. The papaya salad was sweet, spicy, and very refreshing. The Prik King Beef was wonderful. It was mostly soy based and came on a bed of snappy green beans. It was a winner. My favorite was the Pad See Ew. It had wide rice noodles with a soy based sauce, fresh broccoli, and deliciously tender chicken. Every bite made me want more. I always order a side of fried rice here. Something about their fried rice makes me smile. I am a fried rice fan, and this is my favorite fried rice ever. It's simple, not too dark, just salty enough, has a hint of oil, and is well worth the $3 price tag. The couple we were with got the Pad See Ew and the Chicken Soup Curry. They seemed to really enjoy their meal as well. Now for the more important details. My girl, and the couple we were with, have all been to Thailand for extended periods of time. They have walked the streets of Thailand and had the authentic fare, and they all agreed that this was some of the best the US has to offer. Their firsthand experience is worth a heap of knowledge to me. :) My only complaint is that the bill for us was $45. That's a bit pricey, but the quality of the food was just amazing, so I got over it. Simply put, the best Thai I have found in the St. Loius/St. Charles area. Better than The King and I, and that was a pretty hard act to follow. read more

I have never been to Thailand, so I can't speak to the authenticity of the food. All I know is that my pad se eew had the flavor that I was craving the night that I went to Zen, but didn't find there. Sweet molasses goodness over wide noodles, perfectly cooked chicken, sweet carrot slices, and tender broccoli! The curry sauce that came with the pot stickers was so good that i could eat it with a spoon, and I don't even like curry! The service was friendly and very attentive, and they did not add a mandatory tip. I saw that in a few reviews and was glad that it didn't happen to us. It was very expensive, but I will go back because the flavor was exactly what I crave in Thai food. The only drawback was the couple at an adjacent table. While I appreciate that they brought an electronic babysitter to entertain their child while they waited for their food, I did not appreciate that they had the volume on high. We had a small debate at our table over whether it was preferable to hear the iPad or the kid squawking. The votes were split. read more

My wife and I opted for Thai Sawadee instead of Manee Thai and we couldn't be more happy. Ok, I lied, we could be more happy but I will let a lackluster performance by the staff slide based on the fan-fucking-tastic food we were served. Our meal was the following: two glasses of house wine. curry potstickers spicy basil beef ginger chicken The wine was quite nice but after receiving the bill I thought to myself, when the hell did house wine become 7.50 a glass? That little annoyance aside, on to the food. the pot stickers where fantastic, nice flavorful curry with perfectly cooked pot stickers. Served with some shaved carrots and cabbage to cool the heat from the curry, they were very nice. Spicy Basil Beef: Awesome flavor but not very spicy. I would get this again in a heartbeat but I would ask for more heat. Overall great tasting dish. Ginger Chicken: The hit of the night, great flavor, tons of vegetables, nice light sauce. This was a great dish and it is essentially the same as the vege thai but has shaved ginger and it makes all the difference. This is a great dish. I think this place is owned by the people who run Manee Thai but not 100% sure. We will be going back, even if the wait staff was semi clueless. read more
