Sawatdee Thai - Arlington

The food in this place used to be good. Used to. Lately it?s very bad. The good reviews are old and they must have changed chef. Last time we went we took a seafood pad Thai and it was full of a weird sweet lime-y slimy sauce. The noodles were not good, and the fish smelled too ?fishy? (bad sign). Overall, it felt like the meal was re-heated in the microwave. After we left we had to run to the bathroom. You are warned.

Best part was the exceptionally nice and quick staff. Everything came out quickly. Shout out to the bartender, drinks were great and relatively cheap (under $10 each). My only issue is that the pad Thai we ordered just felt very wet and heavy? maybe a bit overcooked. But everything else we got was good, I would come back. Plenty vegetarian and vegan options. They even asked me if having the egg in my dish was okay! That was very thoughtful.

Very good food. It?s one of the more authentic Thai restaurants in the area. It has amazing food but it?s also more expansive than other Thai restaurants. I really enjoyed the summer roles, they were fresh and no flavorful. I loved that they served pineapple fried rice on a pineapple plate. Cold singha on tap is bonus!

I'm not normally a huge fan of Thai, but this place is absolutely exceptional. From the outside, this place looks very understated. On the inside, it's beautifully decorated, with excellent food presentation. The environment is nice and quiet, great for a date night or meeting (if you care to hear the other person). The soups are bar none the best I've had in any circumstance. The food is delicious and moderate in portion size. Most everything is spicy, but just enough to

Came twice and both times, the food was fantastic. The flavors are strong (in a good way) and the service and staff is also really nice and kind. I highly recommend the Thai tea, too...stir it up first, but the flavor is wonderful. The food is also tasty with our favorite being the lemon chicken dishes, although everything we had (Pad Thai and crispy chicken) were also great. The price is not too bad, either, and we never had to wait for a table. We only went during lunch, so
