“ Family owned Food cooked fresh Excellent service Good portions Prices are more than fair Conveniently located outside of PSNS Great tasting food ”
“ We drove by Sequim and decided to stop for dinner on Saturday evening, then we found Sawadee. We ordered Goong Ka Tiem (fried prawns with garlic) and basil fried rice. Look at those humongous prawns, and there were at least 8-10 of them!! The fried rice is also on point. We also order a vegan dish but forgot to take photo. The chef/owner told me she's been serving this neighborhood since 1992. Even though I probably won't visit this place again (because I live in Los Angeles), I wanted to let you know how excellent and honest this restaurant is. They definitely deserve 5 stars! ”
“ I was staying at the Casino Hotel in Sequim and, after a few days, wanted to explore life and activities outside of the hotel. So, I ventured into the town. I tapped my handy button on my steering wheel and said "Google, where is the best Thai restaurant nearby?" Of course, I expected Google to get me to some Thai restaurant but I had no idea it would direct me to this gem. What a find. The first thing that caught my eye was it was more like a hole in the wall Thai restaurant attached to another hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. What I mean by that is it didn't look all that appealing from the outside. And, honestly these types of restaurants often have better food than the ones that look all fancy. When I walked in everybody was friendly enough, and it looked like a typical restaurant nothing particularly interesting. You know how sometimes a complete random individual can make (or break) your day? So I'm standing at the counter waiting to figure out what I wanted to order and a woman asked if she could give me a suggestion. She was a customer like me, and her name is Connie. She recommended her favorite by the number. I quickly turned to the menu and saw that she was recommending my favorite as well which is called Drunken Noodles. Although it's not called that on their menu. But the restaurant folks did verify that that is their Drunken Noodles. So delicious Thank you, Connie, for reaching out to a me, a stranger in town. And for a brief conversation with such genuine helpfulness. In this crazy world, me showing up in a place where there is not much visible diversity, to be greated so warmly made the whole experience awesome. Anyway, I ordered my Drunken Noodles and I ordered a Thai pork chop meal as well. Took them back to my hotel. One was for my lunch that day and the other was for my dinner. They were both absolutely over-the-top delicious. I must say though I have never had a pork chop be cooked so well and have such amazing juiciness and seasoning. Thinking about it as I write this review, I want to drive back just to get another pork chop. Dang I live a very long way from that restaurant. For meat eaters, who enjoy pork, you can be jealous because you have probably never had pork of any kind this tasty. Yup, check out the photo of that pork chop! I will be back the next time I either go through Sequim or stay at the nearby casino again. You need to go too. I'll even meet you there! ”
“ Small restaurant located in a little mall behind Sequim Mc Donalds. Most all the dishes I've tried have been well prepared and delicious. Nice waitresess and the owner is friendly. Prices have gone up over time, as have all eateries here in Sequim, but it's worth it for tasty food! My go-to Thai restaurant in Sequim for years. ”
“ Decent Thai food for a small town in WA state! A variety of dishes other than pad thai and pad see yew. Good flavors. ”
“ Service was good, food was decent. Price is on the higher side, event for the lunch special. The only thing was that I asked for 4/5 spicy, and my dish came out not spicy at all, and I had to ask for chili oil. Food: 1) Spicy Beef Stir fry Lunch Special 4/5 - it came with a small salad and brown rice was $2 extra. It was a solid stir fry with an unique young ginger taste. 2) Basil Noodle with Chicken 4/5 - I don't see the combo of basil and cilantro in Thai dishes much, but it's very delicious. 3) Vegetarian Spring Rolls 4/5 - pretty big rolls filled with vegetables. They came out piping hot, and stayed hot for 15 minutes. The sweet and sour sauce was very strong. Overall, food was good. We (2 adults and 1 toddler) finished everything and had zero leftover. ”
“ We went here with another couple on a Tuesday night. The place was almost packed at 6PM. We sat at a booth and looked over the menu. The place is not fancy but is comfortable with both booths and table seating. We ordered the Thai Beef Salad, Yellow Curry with Chicken, Pad Thai with scallops, and Hot and Sour Soup with Tofu. All were excellent. We also ordered a bottle of wine for three of us with one ordering beer. Food is served all at once which is traditional but may not be popular with some. The wait was a bit long but all the food was delivered hot. The flavors were wonderful and the food was not over salted. We had decided on medium hot which was just perfect for us. We will definitely be back. ”
