Sawasdee, a delightful Thai restaurant located in Portland, Oregon, has garnered a loyal following for its flavorful dishes and friendly atmosphere. Patrons rave about their experiences, notably praising the Pad Thai and aromatic yellow curry. Lucas Kerper highlighted the delicious flavors and reasonable prices, affirming that everything was well-packaged for to-go orders. Noelle McGarvey enjoyed the convenience of the food truck setup, opting to dine at the covered patio. The minimal yet tasteful decor adds to the inviting ambiance.
The staff has received numerous accolades for their warmth, contributing to an overall sense of community. Colleen Langdon's heartfelt review of the Pork Pad Thai emphasizes its incredible flavor, despite a minor hiccup with the pork’s texture. Generous portions often lead to leftovers, making it an excellent value for the quality offered. Taylor Johnson reiterated the same, stating that Sawasdee's Pad Thai sets the bar for Thai cuisine. While parking can be tricky due to nearby construction, the experience at Sawasdee is undeniably worth the short walk. With a taco truck on-site for non-Thy food lovers, it's a perfect stop for diverse tastes. Don't miss out on their delightful Thai tea as well!

Great experience. Good food, good price, the flavor was amazing. Everything was packaged to-go and the side garage door is left open, so you'll want a jacket in the wintertime. I went during lunch hour and it was great.

This food truck on the side of the restaurant is great. Pad Thai and yellow curry were both good. Sat on the covered patio to eat. Quick and easy and tasty too

The staff here are always friendly for dine in or take out. Delicious food and always the right spice. One of my favorite Thai food places! Parking can be challenging close to lunch time, just pick a spot when you see one. Its worth the short walk!

I cannot tell you enough about this amazing place! The decor is very minimal but nicely done. There are covered picnic tables outside or you can eat inside and the customer service is outstanding. Now let's talk about the food! It is so incredible. To be honest I can only talk about the Pork Pad Thai because that's what I had, but it was the most flavorful Pad Thai I have had in my whole life. I will say the pork was a little dry which was slightly disappointing but the flavor made it so that I didn't even really care! They also give you a very generous amount of food. Chances are you will have leftovers to take home! I will be going back to try so many other dishes. We also had Thai tea which was excellent. If you are in Portland I highly suggest checking out Sawasdee. Oh, and if you are with a group of people and some don't like Thai food there's also a taco truck, that smelled really good, in the parking lot of the Thai restaurant! The only downside is you have to park on the street. There's a lot of construction going on and parking really sucks.

Pad Thai is the baseline by which I measure how good a Thai restaurant is. Suffice to say, I will definitely be returning to try all of their other dishes. Quick, convenient, very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious!

The restaurant is currently operating out of their food truck off to the side of the building. The restaurant itself might seem like it's closed but make sure you walk around to where the patio area is. They have tables available for you to dine in and they offer take out. Either way, you'll be sure to enjoy your food. Their flavorful meals will have you coming back for more. We got their signature red curry and pad se ew. We wanted dto get the tom kha soup but ended up being too full from our deliciously flavorful selections of foods. Their Thai tea is also super food. Make sure you try it!

Obsessed. Best curry in Portland in my opinion, and I have ordered the same dish at every other Thai place. Sawasdee has the very best flavor, I could eat here everyday... and sometimes I do. Highly recommend!

I can’t recall if I’ve had Thai food before but either way this is probably the best I’ve had. It was really good. Tried the fried rice with chicken and it was the bomb. But they have lots of good options!
