Sawatdee Thai Seafood

Good neighborhood Thai place and nice chatty owner/chef. Food was good but as a small business doing it's best. GPS direction might throw you off but make sure you see the place clearly before turning off. Prices sometimes does not match the printed menu so check your reciept twice before walking away. Food was good though.

Atmosphere:small strip mall restaurant; bar and kitchen fill the middle of room with most dine-in seating in the rear. Nicely decorated.Service:when eating in or taking out, servers are always friendly and helpful.I'm taking the stars off here, since the food is good and it's more of a service/management problem. The problems are order accuracy and ingredient availability. In two recent visits, I have ordered pad king. The menu describes this item as how pad prik king is almost always prepared: green beans (sometimes red bell peppers , protein, spicy red sauce; this is the desired preparation and what I would expect to receive if the menu says it. Twice, this has been prepared as pad king, with no green beans and a mixture of vegetables (celery, mushrooms, scallions, lemongrass, peppers that isn't in the menu description. Additionally, upon ordering this on a visit a few years back, we were told they did not have green beans available (which I prefer being told instead of getting the dish incorrect, but why don't you have green beans when they are on the menu? . This is a pretty common dish I get at most thai places; I am too often (50%? disappointed at how it is prepared.Food:All that said, the food you do get is pretty good. Veggies cooked to just crunchy, right level of spice, good balance of veg and protein. On one recent visit we had what felt like too much soupy curry and not enough rice in the two to-go containers (each was like 75% full , but that's not a big deal; the food was still good.Overall: wish the pad king was prepared how the menu says. Otherwise, enjoy!

Absolutely my favorite lunch spot! Great food and great atmosphere...a must try!

I'm sure the food's better if you want it like it's supposed to be eaten spicy hot. And I really loved that the gentleman made the food mild for us which most Thai restaurants can't or won't do. But my coconut curry with beef was devoid of any vegetable but peas(! , and tasted no better than my attempt to make Thai food at home. Rice and curry were served separate, which they should have been, but was out of rice beforebeingout of curry. Mother really enjoyed her Sawatdee pad shrimp, which, like my food was very conscientiously made not spicy at all as she asked. The flavor was nicely garlicky and shallot ful and was in a brown sauce. I don't like shrimp much, however, so I didn't taste the whole to see how I liked it. Mango and sticky rice was unavailable due to mangoes being out of season which is generally a good sign of authenticity. Thai iced tea was in a can and didn't taste too much better than a protein shake, albeit a Thai iced tea flavored one. Fresh spring rolls were good, but served with Mae Ploy which is good, but quite spicy. Really would have preferred a nice peanut sauce. Menu prices are quite a bit higher than on Zmenu so with 15% tip, Bill was around $45! On top of this, order at the counter although food is brought to you at the table. Oh and no glass of water.

Great experience and very home style restaurant. Very friendly and kind.
