Sawadee Thai Restaurant

Amongst the TOP Thai in Houston

by vilasity at Citysearch

I have not been very impressed with the Thai in H-town, but the food at Sawadee is unquestionably good. Been here twice now, and both visits were quite satisfying, although my main course entrees were better the first time around. Definitely try that chicken with sweet basil and hot peppers. The penang chicken is also very well put together. Avoid what I had the second time around-namely, chicken with kaffir lime leaves and green beans. The dish was obnoxiously greasy, and it tasted like the chef poured half a bottle of fish sauce into the pan. Overall, the service is capable and responsive, and the food is definitely worth a try. More authentic than other Thai joints.

Great Thai

by jjgriffi at Citysearch

Love the Pad Thai with chicken. Great quality food with quick service. It is a bit out of the way on a little side street near whole foods.

• Pros: Great Thai food
• Cons: hole in the wall

Best Thai in Houston

by leaal at Citysearch

I have been eating here at least monthly for 6+ years. Every dish has been good, although I still have not exhausted the menu. Some of my favorites are chicken with sweet basil and hot peppers, chicken musman and beef panang. The lunch specials are a great value.

BEST THAI FOOD IN HOUSTON

by radioart99 at Citysearch

People of America and of course, City search there is really great Thai food in the Houston area that I have tried! The restaurant is called Sawadee which means hello in Thai. And what a hello I received when I ate their great authentic Thai curries and noodles. The curry there is just refined and their pad thai is great. Don' t fall for the fast fake Thai food. Go to Sawadee and say hello.

• Pros: THE AUTHENTIC FOOD
• Cons: absolutely nothing!

Possibly the Best Thai food in town

by daranaco at Citysearch

When I moved to Houston 2 years ago, I searched and searched for excellent Thai food. I've tried several places with high ratings on Citisearch but found most of them to be good but not excellent. Sawadee, in my opinon, is excellent. We ordered the chicked pad thai (patt thai on the menu), the chicken satay, the spring rolls, chicken paenag, and the yellow curry chicken. Our group loved every item that we ordered. This restaurant is worth driving into town for!!

Excellent food.

by sjkhouston at Citysearch

The chicken pad thai is great, and the green curry beef is incredibly spicy - but delicious. Soft spring rolls are always fresh and enjoyable too. The restaurant is clean, but nothing fancy. Most people order take-out, but the staff is always friendly, and you'll often see the owner there. Haven't ordered anything I didn't like yet.

• Pros: Great food, Decent price, Lots of variety

Gotta try these...

by jpmontoyagirl at Citysearch

You must try the Seafood Pancake, Beef Satay, and the entree of choice Spicy Honey Pork. Those are my favorite, but everything is good! Owners and staff are very friendly, and the huge fish and coral aquarium are very pleasant.

Not your usual Thai place, Sawadee has more sophistication to their food.

Good Thai in the neighborhood

by lklisa at Citysearch

I just moved into the neighborhood and discovered Sawadwee. I've been twice now and I really have enjoyed everything I've tried. The Basil Squid was delicious. Definitely going back.

Locals love the fresh, bold flavors at this neighborhood Thai spot.

In Short
This trim little spot, just off the beaten path, pleases its West U neighbors with such classics as yum voon sen (glass noodle salad), pungent basil stir-fries and curries. It's as neat as a pin and the first choice for many who find themselves in the mood for satay or a bowl of coconut-infused shrimp soup.

Can't Go Wrong Here

You can trust the editorial review of Sawadee. Also, try the Pad Thai Seafood. Those are some tasty noodles, man!

• Pros: Pad Thai, Thai Iced Tea, Clean!
