Sawatdee Thai Restaurant - Minneapolis

All the food we've ever had from Sawatdee has been delicious, but the reason we go again and again is to get the "Paradise Chicken Wings" (which are an architectural wonder because we have no idea how one stuffs a chicken wing never mind stuffs them as full as these are filled) and "Sue's Egg Rolls" (which we feel are among the best in the Twin Cities maybe even the best).

Just a phenomenal experience from start to finish! Very inviting and comfortable with a versatile menu. Very clean from top to bottom! Items made to order so one can decide level of spice. Fast, courteous, professional service from Jamela who graciously took the time to offer recommendations and shook a perfect martini! We ordered the appetizer platter for two. The peanut vinegar sauce was out of this world and everything so hot and fresh! Thank you!!

Wow this place has changed. Went here pre-pandemic and it was so-so. Service I would have given a 4 star but they have a helper robot which definitely made the overall experience better. I also like that they provide cloth napkins. The food was amazing. Sorry I didn’t take any pictures. I was impressed by the food that I totally forgot. We ordered the calamari which was weirdly beer batter breaded but the entrees were excellent. I ordered the Erewan steak salad which was very good. My friend ordered the Panang curry and he said it’s delicious. We also ordered the ice thai tea and it was great 👍🏽 As a whole I gave 5 stars all around but it was borderline going to get a 4-4.5 stars. Sawatdee’s needs to tighten up the ship because the calamari was not as described and self-seating ourselves isn’t very professional. I have been going to Sawatdee’s for over 25 years, first time in Lowertown St Paul, and hope they keep moving in the right direction.

First time in a long time since I've been to Sawatdee. We were able to be seated right away. The menu was extensive, but we both ordered the Pad Thai. Nice portion size but the pork was not very flavorful. I probably would not order this again. They have a little robot that brings the food to the table. Very cute. I will be back to try the curry.
