Sawasdee Authentic Thai & Noodle House

Walked in a little bit before closing and asked if it was still okay to order and go. Was met with great hospitality and welcoming kindness. Food was even better! Will be back, thanks again!

Amazing food! Amazing service!

5 Year Update: My husband and I revisited Sawadee today after 5 years and everything has only gotten better.

We had 4 different dishes plus dessert and each were fresh and tasty. The service was awesome as well the waitress was very attentive, patient and informative.

1. Coconut Soup
2. Veggie Thai Pho
3. Veggie Spring Rolls
4. (al T8) Jasmine Rice & Curry Veggies
5. Sweet Mango Rice

We will definitely be returning, as the menu is very vegan friendly and we’re always looking for a spot to have a nice brunch or dinner.

I am actually from Thailand and recently moved here for about a year. I also went back to visit family a few months ago and compared to the other thai restaurants in town, this is by far the most authentic and very similar taste to my home town. It also makes me really authentic that the cooks are straight from Thailand. If you are looking for great thai food and the most authentic I would give this place a shot.

Everything was amazing here. The food was great and the pricing is average for quality and the taste is worth it. The service is amazing! Nice and attentative and was able to answer all our questions. The decor was cute and quaint and had such a unique look! I would say try them out, you won't be disappointed! My recommendations is their noodle soup pho with meatballs, it smells amazing and makes you want slerp up the soup!

I love this restaurant. I’ve enjoyed their food for many years. I used to dine with them when they had their restaurant on 421.
I love when I get the chance to eat here. The food has always been so delicious and everyone is always so friendly.
I’ve tried multiple items on the menu and have never been disappointed. 10/10

Had a great time on a Friday afternoon....not super crowded like other places. Nice sized lunch portion and a grand selection of drinks. We had a nice time. Plenty of parking in near by lot. Lunch with drinks is about $25.

Incredible authentic Thai food. Very very pleased with this place. I’m super picky about how my ginger chicken taste and this exceeded my expectations. It was wonderful. Everything was wonderful. I will say I didn’t taste that much basil in the fried rice BUT it was still so good.

My husband and I ate here tonight on a whim while we were out and about shopping. We ordered the chicken satay and gyoza for appetizers, and they came out super fast and fresh. Our entrees were delicious, and our server was very sweet.

It's a struggle finding authentic food in Augusta. Ignore the 4.2 stars, this place is legit. I had the green coconut curry and it was amazing. This is the place to go if you want to experience something delicious and new!

Great restaurant! Solid food and friendly service! Plenty of options on the menu, everything we had tasted great. Waitress made sure to check up on our table and keep our drinks full. Would eat at again!

First I will say we will for sure be going back and I will be bringing others to enjoy the food. Second, I'll say me and my family try Thai food places anywhere we go. Some good some bad. My final rating is based on the sweet rice with mango. This place has top notch sweet rice with mango.
My kids both cleaned their plates of the chicken teriyaki.
The Thai iced tea had all the right portions and I wanted more.
The veggie fried rice was great. I didn't care for the Lima beans, or something like that, in the fried rice, but otherwise all around great.

Love! love! love!
Tried this place out about a month ago...and let's just say I'm a regular now! I have been back 3-4 times since then. Great food, nice cozy atmosphere, awesome staff!

This is the best Thai food in Augusta! Thank you for serving our family your delicious dishes over the years!

Sawasdee satisfied my Thai food cravings today! The Thai coffee was perfect! Chicken satay was okay, but the Pad Thai was great! Pad Pak Gai was also good!

So I wish the prices had not increased for lunch. The dinner prices at lunch is taking some getting used to... but I love this place.

SHORT VERSION: amazing service, amazing food, completely reasonable and normal prices for this kind of food and completely standard portions (larger than average portions for the curry).

Long version: I don't know what food court level Thai places these other reviewers are going to, or where to start dispelling the things I read. I almost didn't eat here based on some of the reviews. Here's my experience:

I, a white guy, ordered the Som Tum, which is a traditionally really spicy dish, and I asked for it authentically Thai spicy, the way the cooks would make it for themselves. This got the the eyebrow it always gets, so I explained what I always do, which is that I've had this many times, I know what I'm asking for, and I won't ask for a refund. I also got the coconut soup, which was fantastic.

The som tum was great! And really spicy, just like I asked for. The server, who was super nice, asked how the spice level was, and I truthfully said I've had hotter but it's really good. She offered to take it back and add more spice! I only said no because my nose was about to be running, and that's uncomfortable in a restaurant. But super nice of her to offer! I want to be clear: it wasn't just hot for the sake of being hot. It was also just made well and really flavorful.

*Edit: I just remembered the review saying "the papaya (som tum) was bland." I have to assume they ordered it mild, which is not what that dish is supposed to be.*

I also ordered a certain curry, which she warned me isn't generally made very spicy. Catering to what her customers appear to like! I'm highlighting that because I read something about bad service, which is bananas. I asked her to kick it up just a little bit in heat, and substituted duck and squid for the protein. She warned me that would be $8 more, which is not only clearly stated on their menu, but pretty much exactly what every Thai place charges extra for those two proteins.

Then the curry came out and was roughly 4 times more food than I was expecting, given the reviewers on here. Do you guys get your Thai food from cheesecake factory? Where the portion sizes make up for the below average food? By the way, the curry was also great.

Look, if you're looking to gain weight on a budget, your first thought shouldn't be Thai food. If you like Thai food for what it actually is, you should go here.

I am not someone who routinely orders duck, but the duck was delicious with the right amount of spice! I also enjoyed the steamed rolls! They're so soft and fluffy and stuffed with a savory filling!

This place is amazing! I can’t recommend it enough. The restaurant is run by a local family (father, mother, and daughter)

The Thai “pho” is out of this world. Come here asap.

Amazing food and service. It is great to have authentic Thai food in Augusta!

We've been coming to Sawasdee for years, and it's as delicious as always! If you're looking for a yummy noodle dish, their Pad Kee Mao is the best I've ever had! If you don't have time to stop in for a full meal, grab a thai tea and some sweet rice with mango. The staff are also amazing!
