Honest Review: Sawasdee Thai – A Disappointing Hype? 🍽️

I went to Sawasdee Thai, a much-talked-about spot, but sadly, it didn’t live up to the hype for me. (Though some people love it—taste is subjective!) Here’s my no-waste, full-finish experience: 🍽️ What We Ordered & My Ratings 🥭 Mango Sticky Rice – 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✅ The best part of the meal! ✔ Sweet mango + creamy coconut milk = perfect combo. ✔ Not too sour, not too sweet—just right. 🥩 Grilled Beef – 🌟🌟🌟 ✔ My partner loved it (he likes it rare). ❌ For me? Too undercooked. ✔ The charred edges were bitter, but the meat itself was tender. 🍲 Tom Yum Soup – 🌟 (Just… no.) ❌ Weird, off-putting flavor—almost made me 🤮 after one sip. ✔ Maybe an off day? But I wouldn’t risk it again. 🦑 Grilled Squid – 🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Fresh squid, nicely grilled. ❌ Sauce was too sweet—overpowered the seafood. 🧋 Thai Iced Tea – 🌟🌟🌟 ✔ Decent, but weak compared to authentic Thai versions. ✔ More milky than tea-forward. 💡 Final Thoughts ✅ Only the mango sticky rice was worth it. ❌ Tom Yum was a disaster, and the rest were just okay. 💰 Not terrible, but not worth the hype—I’d rather try another Thai spot next time. 📍 Sawasdee Thai #VancouverEats #ThaiFood #Overrated #HonestReview #MangoStickyRiceWins #NotWorthTheHype
