Grab Thai — Restaurant in Mt. Lebanon

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...

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...

This was strange. We ordered two pad Thais. Considering we had not been here before, it would be a good test of the menu. It was not spicy, which is fine. Some like to control the spice and that is fine. But it doesn't taste like Pad Thai. It was very salty which was odd for pad thai. I also suspected that it had a tomato element? Somewhere behind the salt it had some odd flavors. I am not entirely sure what this is but it isn't like any pad Thai I have had before and that is definitely not a good thing. Maybe it was fish sauced to death? It is a reddish hue like someone put ketchup in a pad Thai. Overall, the very salty nature of the dish made it very difficult to eat. We will be passing on this place in the future. I am giving it two stars since we had excellent delivery through Ubereats and a prompt/courteous driver. If it wasn't for the location and the delivery, we wouldn't have ordered from there and we will not be...
