Sawatdee Thai Restaurant

The food here tastes so fresh, and everything was absolutely delicious! The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and the service was very good as well, but the food!! Pad Khing and Basil fried rice are terrific and the spring rolls were some of the best I have ever had!

Good find when were in the neighborhood looking for some Thai food. Quick and friendly service. The spring rolls were ok, but I got the pad woon sen curry glass noodles with veggies and chicken and they were really good. Cute neighborhood too. Will definitely be back!

It's bright green inside, so prepare yourself! Very cute place and pretty good Thai though. I had chicken pad thai, and it was quite tasty. Not the best I've had, but good enough to go back.

The food here was phenomenal. I had the drunken noodles with chicken and got some pork wontons. It was my first time getting food from here but it was delicious. The service was great, very professional and timely. I will be visiting this spot again soon.

First time ordering from here. We were hoping to dine in but they're currently only doing take out. We ordered chicken pad Thai, beef pad kee mao and tom yum soup. The chicken Tom yum soup was good; I got mild but it still had a little spice to it which I liked. The pad kee mao noodles were also good. Unfortunately the pad Thai was disappointing because the noodles were over cooked so it tasted really starchy. The pad Thai flavor was okay. They're quick! Ordered at the restaurant and our food was ready within 15 minutes as promised. Good service. Street parking.

Their pad Thai is my favorite in the city. It's best if you eat it there but takeout is good too. I find a lot of pad Thais don't use enough sauce, which makes the noodles dry and clumpy. At sawatdee, there's just the right amount of sweet sauce to coat the noodles and makes for a delish, cohesive dish. I've had their curries too and they're ok. They're really thin and I like a thicker curry so it sticks to the rice. I like other thai spots better for curry, but this spot will always be my pad Thai go to.

Stopped in with some family and had a veritable feast! The papaya salad was crisp and fresh, with a hint of lime. Also had a squid appetizer, which was delicious and tender. We shared four entrees between the five of us, and each one had its own flavor and spice was well balanced. For dessert we had mango sweet rice, which was absolutely perfect. The mango was perfectly ripe and the rice was sweet without being syrupy. All in all a great experience.

Super nice staff, friendly and attentive.Decided I needed a spicy hot soup of something before hitting the theater tonight, so I remembered this place not far from the office and en route to the Academy of Music. Tom kha soup hit the spot. Next up was the appetizer salad of yum woon sen, glass noodles that came with shrimp and chicken and just the right hit of pepper and spice with a splash of lime and citrusy flavors.Lovely and easy.

Great Thai food, awesome service, and a cool vibe! I highly recommend! Not too pricy either.

I have eaten Asian food in many restaurants in North America, Europe, Asia. What is probably the best of them all is the small unpretentious bistro located at 534 S.15th Street, in Center City, Philadelphia, Sawatdee. We have eaten at the location for at least 10 years, and regularly eat Sawatdee's home delivery. I don't claim that the restaurant possesses the elegance of some Asian restaurants in London, San Francisco,Toronto. What it has is the food. I can't eat decor. One characteristic of a good restaurant is consistency, and this restaurant has it. The roast duck I ate at Sawatdee 10 years ago is exactly as good as the home delivered duck I ate tonight. My husband will not order duck anywhere else. It is moist and tender and the skin is darkly roasted and crisp. Another requirement for a good restaurant is meticulous attention to detail. Take the dish I had tonight, massaman curry, with Coconut milk, potatoes, carrots, onions, and shrimp. I particularly noticed the potatoes. They were cut into one inch identical cubes, and were cooked to a slight al dente consistency. Hard to do. The chicken wings, moist, tender, sweet, put to shame all other wings. The vegetable stuffed spring rolls were robust and well-flavored. We ordered medium hotness in all of dishes, and each dish had exactly the same amount of fire. How do they do this?Curry and spring rolls in most Asian restaurant are meh. But every dish we ate tonight was better than its equivalent anywhere I have eaten.And we feel respected as customers. We have limited mobility and eat a lot of home delivered food. What Sawatdee brought us tonight was just as delectable as their in house fare, and it arrived piping hot and ready for the table. But Sawatdee, as I said, is a small corner restaurant, with no pretensions. A saying is, "The philospher is without honor in his own town." Sawatdee 's honors will come from the gratitude of its well-fed customers. They have enjoyed the best Asian food in the Delaware Valley.
