Sawasdee Thai Kitchen

Wow, this is definitely some great Thai food! There are so many different Thai places in Pittsburgh, but this place is one of the most hole in the wall type spots I've heard of. It's a decent ways away from downtown, but not too far. The food quality is excellent and the prices are pretty reasonable. Tonight, I ordered the pad Thai with tofu and Thai custard with sweet sticky rice. The pad Thai itself was quite good. Some of the noodles are a bit clumped together, but that could have been just due to travel time. They use an ample amount of tofu, not too little or too much. Most of the pieces were tasty and flavorful, but a few were a bit tough. Their sauce has a slight red hue to it (similar to Thai and Noodle Outlet). But, I prefer this sauce since it's not overpoweringly sweet. Nice crunch from sprouts.Would have liked a few more peanuts or a stronger nutty flavor. Still, very good, and they read my note saying no green onions. Portion was ample, more than enough for a meal or a meal for a hungry person. Their Thai custard was phenomenal. Local Thai places like this make amazing desserts! It tasted homemade and makes you feel warm inside. The custard was perfectly sweet, and had a slight edge which was caramelized (which was extra amazing). The rice was well cooked and soaked in coconut milk. Would have appreciated a bit more coconut milk on top. The packaging for this dessert was also interesting (a container inside the standard box). All in all, the food at Sawasdee is delicious. They make a solid Pad Thai and the Thai custard is top notch. Prices are in line with other places and the portion sizes are ample. Haven't tried the sushi, but they also have a sushi menu (thus the name). Check it out for some no frills and delicious Thai food in the South Hills!

On a scale of romance novels to documentaries, Sawasdee Thai & Sushi is an often-read favorite. While this was my first experience of their cooking, it's clear that it will not be the last. They offer delicious comfort food that also feels just ever so slightly healthy.

Amazing mango curry and the tom kha soup was delicious. I am not one to shy away from Thai spice, so I asked for the soup at an 8 (out of 10) and the curry at an 8 as well. Needless to say, I may have found my match and I couldn't have been happier. I had some real brow sweat and it was still full of marvelous flavor between the heat and the sweet mango. The Thai iced tea wasn't bad; I've had better...and much worse (looking @ you, Thai Phoon). We didn't realize that the restaurant is primarily take out (we ended up there by accident, as our true destination was closed for the day) but there was a table in there and the young lady said we could eat there if we didn't mind everything being served in take-out dishes (we didn't mind at all, since the drive from Bethel Park to our home in Washington, PA was a bit of a task if we wanted a hot meal). My husband had the mango and chicken salad and he enjoyed very much (He's not into heavy spice, so his was a 1 on the heat scale). We ended the meal with an order of mango sticky rice. The sauce was delicious, though the rice was very small-grained and a bit mealy. The mango was fresh, sweet and flavorful. It was a mango night for us both! Over all, it was a very pleasant experience and I'd definitely recommend the place to any Thai-food enthusiast!

I was telling the owners tonight how me and my girlfriend love the food here and order probably like once a month here. I always get the red curry but everything else that we have gotten is very good. Thank you and we will be back soon!

Sawasadee Thai Kitchen is a slice of Thai food heaven in an unlikely place. It’s Mom and Pop, hole in the wall, bare bones, no frills, (NOT dine in) and among the best Thai food I’ve found in the US since living there for a fair price.
