Sa-Wooei

Enjoyed a fantastic meal for the price! 🍛 Opted for the red curry special on the lunch menu—unique presentation over a bed of rice. Personally, I'd prefer the curry separate from the rice because serving it on top of the rice makes it so that the rice absorbs the sauce. Pad see ew was tasty, but a bit more noodle would've been perfect. When the check came, the waitress gave me a beautifully presented dessert 🍨 which was tasty.

Two dishes for less than $20! It was a great deal and a delicious lunch.

Loved the second-story setting with a street view. It was chilly inside on a cold day, but overall, a satisfying experience.

I almost don't want to tell people how good the food here is! We visited for the first time tonight, and the service was friendly and kind, but the food was amazing. The duck special was the best duck I've had in the 10 years I've lived in the US - I would happily eat it for a week. And the red curry was very well balanced -- I had it at the "hot" level of spicy, as you can choose. Lovely fresh vegetables, really delicious. Our starters were great too, and the little free dessert was a great touch! We will very much be back. My only criticism is that I wish they'd had some background music on! Wonderful!

Ordered 4 items. I know... too much food but at least I can have leftovers (YUMmmm)
The food was quite tasty.
I would recommend this restaurant. The prices are so much more reasonable for the amount of food you get compared to in the city (San Francisco).

BBQ pork has a nice marinade and flavor to it.
Pad see ew, big noodles and it was good.
Gang panang nuer (med spicy) am glad I just did medium spicy. It was good over the rice.
Thai fried rice, it was ok by itself. The rice is a bit soft but with that panang sauce, it tasted good.

My new favorite Thai place. Fast, super fresh, lots of veggies and live herbs. The service is fantastic, our waitress was from Thailand and very sweet. The location is second storey, with views into the Berkeley hills - not a common restaurant view by any means. Yes, they serve beer and wine. Yes, the menu is flexible to be gluten free and vegetarian friendly.

Very authentic, with plenty of delicious options and lowest prices you can find around. My new favorite Thai place, going here at least twice a week.

Delicious food, good process and friendly service

Sweet lady that took my order. She was very kind and polite. Very cozy here, it felt very comfortable. What caught my eye was the location that is right in front of the hotel. So I was curious enough to try it. Prices & food are good.

The food was absolutely delicious and super fresh AT A LOW COST. I got the spicy chicken wings and the duck over rice and I did not have any leftovers. I also got to meet the owner, she is a wonderful lady who has been helping people in this community for over 30 years. I don’t get why this place doesn’t get more traffic but I’ll be back definitely!

My family and come here at least three times a month. I think we have tried the entire menu and nothing disappoints. I highly recommend this restaurant owned and operated by a husband and wife, absolutely delicious!!!

I enjoy returning to Sawooei and ordering my favorite dry noodle soup every time. The chef has remained the same since 1995, when I first started eating there. Less people came in after the Covid-19, but that is about to change, and I will continue to help them as they have continued to support me throughout my childhood.

The food was excellent! The satay, beef salad and the red curry was very yummy. Like the other posts, the elevated building and location in front of a motel is odd. Once inside the waitress was super sweet and the place is nice. I’d come back!

Give it a try! Your dinner will be a topic of conversation with others. As I said, the food was delicious.

Gotta say, the food's pretty good and authentic and the prices are much better than what you'll find in all the other Thai restaurants in the area. Super friendly, too. Still take out only unfortunately. Quirky location, that's for sure.

Very good, slightly spicier than other Thai places. Inside is charming and comfy, the location below is a little sketchy, but head up...it's worth it. Good prices! Tried dishes we've never had before, and the chili and sauce jars... their recommendations for one curry dish were authentic and perfect to add the flavor I was looking for. "FBI" fried banana with icecream! Try it!!!!

Our family's favorite Thai eatery. Family run restaurant that's been bringing real Thai food to the area for many years. Never disappoints. Curries are great, our son loves their beef noodle soup.

We needed four large trays of food for 30 hungry high school students. We stopped by in advance and the Sa-Wooei staff helped us figure out a menu within our budget. The food was ready as promised, warm, well cooked, all delicious The kids loved it! We're grateful.

Great food and atmosphere with awesome service! We really enjoyed our server, very nice lady!

My favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Great flavors, healthy portions, friendly service and great prices. Even a little food art with most dishes. Can't beat this place. You'll be screaming "Sa-Wooei!"

A new favorite. Lovely service and really good food. We get everything vegetarian; the tofu eggplant, pad prik khing, and green curry with bamboo are particularly delicious. High quality vegetables.

I’ve been eating here since I was a kid, I love it. Nothing beats the price, portions, and quality of this Thai food. I personally recommend the eggplant basil with tofu, it’s delicious.

A hidden gem that you must go to if you like Thai.
Amazing soup. Curry is wonderful.
And to top it off, cheap cold beer that comes in a frozen mug.
