    “BUG! BIG BUG! IN THE FOOD”

    I found a BUG (BIG MOSQUITO) in the food (Thai noodle soup).

    The owner said "I am sorry but it happens. if you do not like, you DO NOT come back."

    How could an owner say to a customer LIKE THAT?

    Also he said "in Thailand, we EAT bugs.

    " So is it OKAY to have bug in the food?

    I will never go to this restaurant AGAIN.

    Please be aware of your foods or Do not go !

    I had the Padd Thai(medium) and chicken satay for an app. The peanut sauce that came with the chicken was wonderful. The chicken was tender and very good. With the Pad Thai,you have a choice of beef ,chicken ,vegetarian and I went with the chicken. The chunks of chicken were very tender and the dish was very delicious. One word of caution, they don't have a  lunch menu on the weekends. I had to order an entree which was enough food for two people. Service very attentive. Bathrooms need a little attention.

    I'm half Thai, grew up in Thailand. This does not taste like real Thai food. Very Americanized.

    Red curry and pad thai are about the only 2 thai dishes I particularly eat. First time I ate here for lunch, I ordered the pad thai. I've been getting the same over and over. Their pad thai is just eally  good. The flavor was so balanced, not too sour nor too sweet nor too spicy,  overall it just taste great. Portion is pretty big as well and if you had to take home some, warming it up with a quick pan fry still makes it an awesome meal. I didnt care much for their curry though, exotic thai in terrehaute serves much  better red curry dish. But hands down I give this place kudos for their pad thai.

    This restaurant is very nice.  I went with a friend for lunch and had a great time.  The atmosphere is comfortable for lunch, though possibly not as much for dinner.  The service is fine, nothing exceptional but certainly nothing to complain about.  The food was excellent.  The value was phenomenal for the food.  Lunch included two of: spring roll, salad, and soup.  I had the spring roll and salad and both were fantastic.  I would definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch.  The only downsides were that the food came out while I was still eating my salad and spring roll (its a pet peeve of mine when a meal comes out before the appetizer/previous course is finished) and that the atmosphere felt to me better suited for a casual lunch than a sit down dinner.  That said you should definitely check this place out.

    Very good food, but vegetarians use caution.

    I ordered a meal and asked for it to be vegetarian. I believe the only difference between a meat dish and vegetarian dish is the lack of meat and addition of tofu. What i mean is, i believe the dish still consists of all  the fish and oyster sauces they use in all dishes. I also believe the probably fish sauce in my dish is what gave me stomach problems.

    I am not sure if vegetarians can ask for a special, fish-less sauce or not as I have only been here once. But vegetarians, be aware that the dish is probably not truly vegetarian.

    But, you got sick after eating here...why the 4 stars??

    Why? because the food was very good. I asked for Hot, and it was Hot. The flavor of the food was very good and everything was prepared nicely.

    They did have a 12 yr old as a busser which was a bit odd, but other than that everything was good.

    If i find i can get a truly vegetarian meal here, then I will absolutely be back.

    Great authentic Thai food! My fiance loves to come here every time he's in town, and I'm more than happy to comply. I definitely recommend the Tom Yum soup with rice - Mild for me. If you like spicy, go with Medium - and if you can handle the Blazing Wings at Bdubs, then go for Thai Hot (it's really, really, really hot). I like a kick, but Mild is good enough for me.

    My husband and I eat here often and find it to be a delightful restaurant.  The wait staff is helpful and never too far away and the food is absolutely delish.  The only thing I would recommend is to be very aware that this is a Thai place and food is hot unless ordered mild or medium.  Truly, even medium can be too much.  The glass noodle pad thai is to die for. My husband really enjoys the green curry soup with rice.  Whatever you order will be fantastic as well. YUM!!

    Highly recommended. We started with a bottle of hey mambo at $32.  Served very quickly by the manager with style. Very diverse menu with a variety of traditional Thai dishes. Even better, they include a photo of each dish to show you what you'll be getting.  First we ordered veggie spring rolls which were delivered in just a few minutes - hot and crispy. For main courses, my wife had the shrimp pad Thai which she ordered in mild spice. I had the wide thick noodles with shrimp and veggies. Feeling brave, I chose medium hot. I am really glad I didn't choose hot or Thai hot spicy, because my "medium" started mild but quickly turned up the heat!  After a few bites, I was sweating, and tears were welling up in my eyes from the spice! It was VERY tasty. Both dinners were very good, but the shrimp in both were not as good as expected.  The shrimp, served tail on, were tough and they tasted like they'd been frozen for too long. We won't order shrimp here again. Dinners came with a Thai cabbage salad and a bowl of tasty soup.  Following dinner, we splurged and added desserts. My wife ordered a pumpkin custard which was excellent. I went with fried bananas which had been wrapped in spring  roll pastry and drizzled with sweet sauce and whipped cream. Decadent and exactly what I needed to wrap up a nice meal. Service was very good with a highly attentive waiter and manager who visited us often to see how we were doing.  Overall a very nice meal, other than the lackluster shrimp.  Recommended!

    Sorry, I gave it a shot. Maybe I just don't like their particular style of cooking. Maybe I'm just far too used to my West Coast Thai Food. But this just doesn't cut it for me. The food was rather bland. I ordered it medium spiced. I had a fried rice dish, and there was so little seasoning on it. My husband ordered Pad See Ew to be safe, and was thoroughly disappointed. To be honest, it tasted somewhat resemblant of something we have had at a grocery store counter back home.

    I've heard that they can be hit or miss apparently, but this was a big miss for us. And a not so cheap one at that.

    Sorry, but we won't be back.

    Very weak Thai food.  Ordered Red Curry, with cabbage salad and Hot/Sour soup. Meat was bone dry, no veggies, no basil, very lame. Cabbage tasteless, soup tasted old. One and done.  Plus, ordered beer and they forgot to bring it!

    After that embarrassing dinner date years ago where I had a murderous nosebleed which sent me running into the women's room with wads of napkins stuffed up my nose for a good 15 minutes, I still come back to this place with my original date to remind myself not to order my food "Thai Hot".

    I had my Pad Thai (Medium, I repeat, Medium) and a glass of ice cold Thai coffee to assure myself that bloody hell wouldn't happen again. Honestly, I really enjoyed the Pad Thai dish. The rice noodles were still al-dente in Italian terms and evenly coated with the flavorful, fragrant mixture of fish sauce, tamarind, and palm sugar stir-fried with chicken, onions, and bean sprouts. The Thai coffee was decadent, rich, and chocolately in flavor.

    He had the Ba Mee Pod paired with Thai iced tea. From the looks of it, without taste testing - it was very presentable and looked quite satisfying as well.

    FYI: I had enough leftovers from my lunch portion to reheat for next day's lunch as well considering I'm a big eater myself.

    There you have it. That is the alternate ending to my mishap a few years ago.

    Found this place on Yelp and 4 of us went for dinner while attending a motorcoach rally at the fairgounds.  The food was good, curry was tasty, the #33 was ordered spicy and it was bland.  Springroll appetizer was dry.

    Nothing particularly wrong with my experience, but nothing to rave about, either. I got chicken, steak and shrimp over fried rice and it was quite bland until I got an idea to pour the "sauce" over the dish. It was not an easy task, with only a small spoon. Not sure how they expect diners to accomplish this. Why not bring "a side" of the sauce in a small pour with which to pour, if they know the food has no flavor of its own...

    If I was in the neighborhood again and hungry, with no other options, I would probably go again. Too bad for my friends and I, we drove quite a distance for some good Thai food and left disappointed...

    I will try to give the short version of my horrible restaurant experience here. In my first review for this restaurant I gave it two stars for less than average food. Today I would give it no stars if it were possible.

    The crab rangoon had very little filling, mostly just crispy wrapper. Not that I would have wanted more filling anyway because I believe they replaced the crab portion of the rangoon with black pepper. My boyfriend said it wasn't bad just odd to have pepper (or at least *that much* pepper) in crab rangoon. Personally, I can't stand black pepper and couldn't eat it. They replaced the order with fried tofu which was okay for what it was.

    For the main dish we shared pad thai. That was a poor choice. It came out looking white, no coloring to it and consequently no flavor. We determined there were no peanuts in it and suspect there was no tamarind, palm sugar, or fish sauce either. It had spices but the dish didn't resemble pad thai whatsoever.

    The owner came out and apologized very profusely and promised they would have a meeting later about the poor quality of the dish. The second round of pad thai was no better. They overcompensated for the lack of soy sauce by saturating the noodles. We could only stand to eat a few bites before feeling overstuffed and bloated from all the sodium.

    They asked if we wanted a box and we said all we wanted was the check. They didn't take off/reduce the price of either dish or say anything more about their first two (now three) screw-ups.

    Suffice to say, we will not be returning again. I was thoroughly dissatisfied with the epic proportion of their culinary failure.

    First time here. Very good service, friendly environment and quite busy. The owner is very friendly. The food serving is quite large so some may want to share one dish. The food is over all good and authentic but be careful what to order as some dishes taste may not suit yours (I order massaman curry and it was too sweet and peanutty for me). The pad seewee was quite good though!

    Great service, great food, great value.  We ran in at 2 minutes until close and asked Thai (the owner) if we could just get 2 orders of the glass noodles and they were very accommodating!  So friendly even though they were staying late for us.  Really fresh food like it was made up fresh for us!  
    If you haven't been, you should try this place!!!  
    Thank you Sawasdee!

    Sawasdee blows my mind like Franzia wine.

    The fish cakes here are off the hook. I love Thai food and will go to pretty much any I can find. After starting a job up around 93rd and Zionsville, I was pretty excited to be nearer to so many Thai places. I've tried a few, and Sawasdee is definitely one of my favorites. Their lunch specials are cheap and come with a truck load of food. Everything always tastes freshly made and prepared and the varying levels of hot definitely go up in heat without overpowering flavor. I've had their padd thai, green curry, fish cakes, Pho Pai Thod, Thod Mun Pla, Kra Thong Tong, and Kha Nom and  Pung Na Moo and have always been very satisfied. This and Thai Spice are my two favorite Thai places in indy. I think they put crack or the wings of baby angels in their soup. I've had to restrain myself from pickin up the bowl and drinkign it. Souper good.

    I was looking for a Thai place closer to Broad Ripple that measured up to Thai Spice.  This place hit the spot!  I ordered the Pud Kra Prow with chicken Thai hot.  This hot was much hotter than Thai Spice, but it still tasted great!  It wasn't the type of hot that overtakes the flavor of the entire dish and leaves you only with pain and tingling of your mouth.  There definitely was tingling and nose running, but I was able to taste the chicken, vegetables, and basil.   I had half the spring roll and it was just so-so, but it's not my favorite thing to eat anywhere.  I did order carry out and feel like the portion size may be smaller when you do it this way.

    The order was ready lickety-split, too.   I did think it was odd that a young American guy answered the phone and when I actually tried to pronounce the dish, he got confused and just said "what number is that??"  

    I can't wait to go back and try the drunken noodles!

    So glad there's a Thai place near my work. For some reason, I've never really ventured west of Meridian, only east, when picking up food. I'm really glad I found this place.

    The spring roll I had was a bit mushy and without much flavor. I love me some spring rolls. It wasn't bad, just not that great.

    I ordered the Panang curry chicken, hot, and I was able to eat it again for lunch a couple days later. I think it might have been hotter the second time around. The coconut milk left if creamy and a tad sweet, and it was still sort of flowery-it might have been a lot of lime leaves, yet it was nice and hot.  

    The customer service was wonderful. From the time I called in my order and picking up my grub. The host/server was very curteous. And I believe it might have been an owner who thanked me as I walked out. As soon as I walked in, the host/server asked if I placed a carry out order as if he somehow knew.

    I'm excited to try a fried rice dish- maybe one of my usuals (kao padd or kao padd bai kra pow). I'll be back.

    Not for me!
     
    I ordered carry out for myself and my husband last night.  We had the appetizer sampler and an order of Padd See Ewe.  The only thing we truly liked on the sampler were the fish cakes but they certainly not the best fish cakes I've had.  The Padd See Ewe was aweful!!!  No flavor at all.  I ordered it medium and there wasn't even a hint of spice.  I was very disappointed that I spent almost $30 on a meal that I didn't come near finishing.

    I'm not sure I understand how this place could get such stellar reviews.   I feel my two stars are generous.

    Nice ambience. Extremely clean, both up front, and the men's room. Very tasteful but simple decorations/modeling in the men's room, not just a restroom; it added a nice touch of class.

    I had the Drunken Noodles lunch special, very good. It was served kind of quick, but it didn't taste like it had been sitting around. I ordered the -medium- spice level, and it was perfect for me, requiring just a little bit of water to drink.

    They seemed well-staffed for the lunch rush. This is a very popular place, and I can see why.

    This place is on par with the other upper level Thai restaurants in town. I'd say better than Thai Papaya, better than Thai Castle. On par with Jasmine Thai. On par with Thai Orchid (but not quite as fancy interior).

    This is a great Thai place tucked away in a strip mall near 86th and Ditch. I have been here more times than I can count, and every time I have left with a full belly and a smile on my face. The service is speedy without making you feel like they are trying to get you out the door. And I absolutely love that they bring orange slices at the end of your meal. What a nice touch! I think Sawasdee's spice level is hotter than Jasmine Thai, so if you don't like things too hot, be careful when ordering!
    I have no complaints about this place and will continue to dine here.

    UPDATE (2011.6.16)

    My friend invited me for lunch here today. Fine, I thought, let's check out the luncheon experience.

    I had pad thai, and we ordered crab rangoon as an appetizer.

    Their crab rangoon is quite good--for crab rangoon. Which is food so bad for one that I can't really enjoy it. Fried food with oil just dripping of it, you know.

    The spring roll remained tasty, and the soup remained a meh.

    The pad thai was pretty damn bad. There seem to be a million approaches to this classic dish, and, sadly, a lot of them suck. Both sugar and salt can become the villains, and today's noodle mush was overcome by both.

    So it wasn't a one-off for me. But I swear, there ain't gonna be no THREE-OFF, m'kay?!

    The rest of my review remains as before.

    -----

    We ate here tonight. Service was fine. Food was unimpressive.

    Crab roll. A spongy, fish-cake-like roll with a crispy skin that was fine but tasted nothing like crab. B-

    Spring roll (comes with entre). Crispy and tasty. Probably my fave thing in the meal. (Why is it that appetizers are the best thing at so many restaurants?) A

    Hot and sour soup (comes with entre). A meh. Pretty much just broth. Generic thai soup flavor. C

    Shrimp and peppers (#31 on menu). This was OK. Competent, not too exciting. The problem was the really small portion (a problem at a lot of Thai restaurants). The kind of portion that leaves you hungry. C+

    Pad thai. Not good. I won't tell you where the beef tasted like it was from. Overly sweet. Overdone noodles. Edible but inferior. C-

    The atmosphere is cute. The staff seemed nice. But this will be a one-off for us.

    Food = great / service = great. I was treating a client for lunch. We both had Pad Thai served hot (referring to spice level). Mine was served vegetarian while my guest was in the mood for shrimp. The food, service and authentic atmosphere were just as enjoyable as I remembered from my first visit a few months earlier.

    The lunch portion of Pad Thai is served with a house soup, which is a vegetable/broth kind of concoction well seasoned with cilantro and, I think, a bit of chili oil. Mmmm. Also includes a spring roll with dipping sauce. The spring roll (fried) was the only mildly dissapointing part of the meal as it didn't seem as freshly prepared as the very satisfying entree.

    Tip: dishes are served on a spice ranking that runs mild, medium, hot & Thai hot. I'm a spicy food dude so it takes a punch to get my nose running. The "hot" level lived up to my expectations, and yes my nose was running. It was a bit too hot for my guest, who finished one whole pitcher of water that our always-on-time waiter intuitively provided for our table.

    I've been here twice in two weeks.. the first time I started with the Tao Hoo Thod appetizer, it didn't disappoint nor did the peanut sauce.  Nom nom.  Follow up was the Red Curry ordered super Thai Hot.   It was delicious but didn't quite burn my mouth off..  

    Tonight I went with a group of friends and ordered the Pud Prik King with Tofu extra super spicy Thai hot and it BURNED my mouth off!  My four dinner guests were afraid of trying it and only two of them dared, one bite and they were out of the game.  I'm amazed, in all my years of eating out at Indian, Thai and Chinese places I've never had someone try to kill me when ordering that hot before.   I think I officially love Sawasdee!  

    I'm not usually one to splurge on dessert but I had to follow up with the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice dish just to save my mouth.  

    They also refilled my water glasses like a zillion times without asking.  I swear our table had a rotation of five people just filling our glasses.  I'm going to go upload a photo of the spicy dish I devoured tonight, you can practically feel the burn through the imagery.  

    For the record, the egg rolls are melt in your mouth delicious and my friends all loved their Pad Thai and ooh man that Thai Iced Tea is kind of like the Starbucks Green Tea Latte/Frap if it were orange colored..

    I'm also going to upload photos taken in the ladies room for the simple fact that I feel its tragic that the male gender will not be exposed to its elegance otherwise.

    Oh Sawasdee...a rare find in Indy!

    This is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants I've been too.  The staff is friendly and service is super quick.  Lunch time is probably the best bang for the buck as the majority of their lunch specials are $7.95 versus $9.95 at dinner time.  The portions are basically the same.

    I tend to order the chicken pad thai or the chicken fried rice.  Both are pretty great.  I've also had the Thai noodle soup, which by the way, is only offered at lunch.  The spices used in the noodle soup is great and tends to be my pick in the winter when it's cold.  Each entree comes with a choice of spiciness (i.e. mild, medium, hot, or thai hot).  I tend to stick to medium, but my more adventurous colleagues opt for thai hot, which they say really clears up the sinuses.  The level of hotness varies daily depending on who made it, so there are days when it's definitely hotter than others.  Just be aware.

    All entrees come with two sides either soup, spring roll, or salad.  I've tried all of them, and I still stick to the soup and spring roll.  There is only one house soup, and it's the same one daily.  It's pretty good; however, if you don't like it, then there really aren't anymore choices.

    Overall, I like eating here, and my coworkers and I tend to frequent here quite a bit.  I would recommend it to anyone.

    I am very picky with Thai food, so when I was in Indy for business and saw all these rave reviews for this place I had to give it a try. I ordered the tom yum soup with shrimp and the pad kee maw. I thought the soup was ok, I had asked for it to be spicy and it came out to be spicy which I liked, the lemongrass flavor was a tad too strong and the pad kee maw was too sweet and saucy, not my thing.

    Service was prompt and friendly. I don't know if I would go here again. Another person that I know that is Thai went here and she said that the food was not like real Thai food. It's okay to me, not great but not the worst, but definitely not up to my expectations with all the great reviews.

    In short: best Thai I've had in a long time.

    I went to Sawasdee on recommendation of one of my co-workers and boy was I impressed. I ordered the satay chicken skewers to start which were delicious - the chicken cooked well, the peanut sauce tasty, and the cucumber dressing cool and refreshing.

    I ordered the duck curry dish and my girlfriend the pad thai. We got both "Thai Spicy" and boy did they deliver the heat. The duck was well cooked and perfectly seasoned and each time I bit into a grape it was a little ball of spicy fire exploding in my mouth. The pad thai was also incredible.

    I'm no longer in Indy but I sure as heck do miss this place. Don't pass it up!

    Great Thai food period!
    Awesome owner, who was very intent on making sure everything was just right. Plus a very nice family run atmosphere.
    A great wine selection, and the owner was alos pretty knowledgable about what wines they served, and was able to suggets a nice pairing.
    Some many rad veg options, I couldn't stand it...it required two seperate trips ;)
    They can really crank up the spice level as well.

    As I'm in town for a month or so for work, I've been trying to explore the dining scene a bit (thank you expense account!). This place was a little hard to find tucked away into a strip mall behind a dunkin donuts. The interior was pleasant and clean. The service was helpful, friendly, and prompt. I decided on the duck curry dish. A spring roll and soup were included with the dinner entree. I'm not a fan of many soups and this one tasted overly salty to me. The spring roll was tiny, overly cooked, and unremarkable. The curry dish was tasty. I liked it, but I don't think its something I'll seek out to have again.

    They also seemed to be doing a brisk business of takeout. I'm guessing it was the owner who was walking around the dining area checking that everyone was being taken care of and enjoying their food. I thought that was a nice touch and made me enjoy the experience more.

    So, I decided to try the lunch menu.  I must admit it did not WOW me.   Not a lot of options on the lunch menu.  I know that the dinner menu is a lot more extensive.  They may consider adding a few more items during lunch.

    One more suggestion.  Don't call your credit card company on speaker phone and attempt to make a payment.  Not the background noise that I want to hear while I am eating lunch.

    This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Indy. However, the spring roll and soup were not quite as amazing as I remembered this time around. I wonder if the much-welcomed expansion was accompanied by a bit of corner-cutting in the food department. I hope that's just in my mind, but I guess time will tell.

    Still, the food really was good, soup (which is kind of my favorite part) and spring roll included. I can never resist a green curry, and the one I had today was most excellent. As others have mentioned, "hot" really is hot here. They don't give you what I like to call "whitey hot." Cleared out my sinuses like a charm. As for dessert, go for the sticky rice and custard, even if you're feeling kind of stuffed. It's worth it.

    The decor in Sawasdee is simply beautiful, which is no doubt part of why I love it so much. And the wait staff is very friendly and genteel. The sweet little old man who runs the place is usually shuffling around filling up ice water and chatting with patrons. I definitely felt welcome here.

    I waffle between 3 and 4 stars, rounding down.  I don't like rating inflation.  

    Sawasdee is nicely appointed and the menu has pretty much everything we've come to expect from a Thai joint, except papaya salad.  Also, I was saddened by the lack of fish balls or fish tofu (tohu pla).  You could get the balls in green curry, but nothing else, and no pestering of the waitstaff could budge that position.

    I opted for the Drunken Noodles, which were ok (think veggie chow ho fun), but the chicken atop the dish was overcooked and chewy.  Furthermore, the dish was a little on the skimpy side.  My fellow diners had masaman and green curries.  I thought the masaman tasted right ouf the can, but who cooks at home anymore anyway?  I do, and I can tell when cheating happens.  Still, everything was tasty.  

    All dinners come with a tangy soup, salad, or springroll.  I got the salad against my table's suggestion, and was let down.  It was not the ubiquitous cuke, onion, and chili, but strange, chewy cabbage.  I ate it, but will opt for the springroll next time around.  

    A frosty Singha (Su biah Sing!) washed down my spicy drunken noodles.  They ask your spice preference on a mild, medium, hot, and Thai-hot scale.  I've been around, but the hot was plenty hot.  Sorta like the ping pong show you saw in Pattaya.  Woot!

    Locals' favorite place to eat Thai food. Unlike some other local joints, when you specify "hot" as your preferred spice level, you get enough heat to send steam out of your ears. Lots of fresh lemongrass, cilantro, chiles and basil perk up the food. My dish with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari steeped in cilantro, lime and chiles was tasty.

    The wine list is extensive, but this place good use more beer. There are plenty of hoppy brews that would cut through spice nicely.

    I was thai-homeless after the departure of Thai Garden downtown.  

    Sawasdee has fixed all of that.  They have a great menu with lots of vegetarian and non vegetarian options.  Their soups are amazing. The glass noodle pad thai has been on special for quite some time, and is just that. Special.

    I've had several curries and noodle dishes, and have never been disappointed.

    The only drawback is the somewhat small dining room that is usually busy on weekends.  ** Updated 2/3/08 ** They've doubled in size so the wait issues have resolved.

    I hope you enjoy my new thai food home!

    This is the only place where I've ever attempted Thai cuisine and it's had a huge impact on my view of Asian food.  I've always loved spicy food but I could never find a place that had spicy Asian food that wasn't the same old spicy orange chicken that you can get at any old Chinese restaurant.  (Not that I don't like it mind you, it just gets boring after a while)  

    So one day in comes my mother with a couple of huge bags and tells me that we're having Thai for dinner!  I tried a lot of new foods that day and not one of them I found displeasing.  Everything from friend tofu, pad Thai, sticky rice, Thai iced tea, spicy papaya salad, soup, and so much more all delicious.  

    Plus an added bonus is that the people who work there are some of the friendliest and you'll ever met.  They don't mind a bit if you try to order in Thai (which can end very badly at other places...).  In fact they encourage it!  They have yet to get an order wrong.  Seriously, I've been going there for about a year now and they have never messed up my order.  That really says something about the pride they take in their work don'tcha think?
