Sawasdee Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Mandeville

I hate to write this review, but I just came back from Sawasdee....and I'm still hungry. My wife and I have been to this establishment numerous times and what I ordered I have had 8+ times (each time excellent). Tonight I believe their kitchen crew really dropped the ball. 1st we were one of a hand full of people when we showed up. Our order was taken and drinks came out soon after. Our appetizer came out pretty quickly so that was all fine. Then we waited....and waited then more people showed up...we waited, then a 11 topper showed up...and we waited. Then the people around us got their food...we waited. While we were about to ask what was going on our food finally arrived. Both my wife and my dish seemed to be really just thrown together...we looked at each other and pretty much said in unison. They forgot about us and tried to quickly fix it. My dish (Khao Soi ) seemed to be lacking the usual quantity of items that are usually in that dish...again just not properly made. For the record....everything we ate tasted Great! But for the money we spent and the time we were there...I shouldn't be hungry when I leave. We did explain our concerns and they did offer us a free beverage (non- alcohol) but they did not adjust the bill in any way...They just were not up to their...

The food at Sawasdee Thai was top notch. We started our dinner with the Thai dumplings and the Thai Cajun Fried Eggplant. Both were excellent. I got the druken noodles with shrimp medium heat. My son got the Panang Curry with seafood with extra hot heat. We had to switch entrees because someone swapped the heat levels to our respective dishes. The drunken noodles were so hot I could not eat them. The Panang Curry dish was just the right amount of spiciness. I did find the service slow. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant. It took quite a while for our appetizers to arrive at our table. Then it was another substantial wait for our entrees. I did notice quite a few take out orders going out the door. We were not in a hurry so it was not a big issue for us. We will definitely return as the food is...

Our 3rd time getting takeout from Sawasdee, Panang with shrimp is savory with a gentle spicy kick with a greet balance of other spices. The shrimp are a good size but I’ll order extra in the future because I like leftovers of this. I’m not a fan of the chicken but they do add more chicken than shrimp if you’re looking for the most protein for your money. Crab Rangoons are made with a delicate and crispy dumpling with a really unique filling blend and come with a clear dipping sauce that goes perfectly together. Probably the best I’ve ever had. Thai House Fried Rice is meh….missing something to include heat and we have asked for level 4. Needs a side of cucumbers added to it once they level of heat...
