Sawasdee Thai Restaurant - Vancouver, British Columbia

Tod Mun Goong ($16) - Deep fried prawn cakes, served with cucumber sauce (sweet & sour) - but it was not spicy enough.  Loved the sauce with the prawn cakes.  The cucumber, crushed peanut, carrot "string" and parsley added another dimension to the dish. Sawasdee Fried Rice with pork (lunch size ... $18) - not spicy enough.  But it had a very good flavour. Crying Tiger Beef ($25) - Sliced marinated grilled beef, served with herb vinaigrette.  There was over 1 lb of beef plus a vinaigrette for $25. This was a very good dollar value for a sirloin.  It did not need salt or pepper.  There was no need to use butter to sear the beef.  Cooked to medium rare - perfect for me.  For anyone who likes the taste of beef, this Crying Tiger Beef is a very good buy. I ordered all these 3 dishes hot but they were not spicy enough for me. Thai Iced Tea ($6) - not too strong.  I will skip the dairy next time. I will return to get the Thai spicy version on all the dishes next time. Read more

I had been wanting to come and eat here and finally I was able to dine in here!! Even at lunch time they looked pretty busy. We ordered a Pad Thai with prawns, Kor Moo Yang, and Thai iced tea. I was surprised that the prawns in pad thai were so plump and ... juicy and the noodles were chewy!! And also the pork was savory, juicy and really delicious too!! We loved it and definitely come back sometime!!!!! Read more

The chicken dumplings were delicious, and the fried rice was light and fresh.1 hour wait for a table on a Sunday it was ... busy be ready to wait Read more

The food here has an authentic Thai taste. However, the meat dishes are a bit overcooked and on the salty side. Still, they're pretty tasty. I'll try something different next time I come back.

The coconut chicken curry is too sweet to my taste, but the presentation is great. Prawn cake and Tom Kha are pretty good，the flavor here is definitely toward strong side, saltier and sweeter than other Thai restaurants I had.
