About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Welcome to Sawatdee - Minneapolis! We are OPEN for dine in, take out and delivery.

Serving award-winning Thai cuisine since 1983, Sawatdee is home to Thai food, party spaces, a great happy hour, live music, and impeccable service.

When we first opened our doors at 1983, the Sawatdee mission was simple: to take our community on an adventure full of Thai flavors and good times. Many years later, that adventure is still as exciting as ever. Not only we expanded with more restaurants to share our flavors with more folks, we've added to to the flavors we offer, as well!

Our Minneapolis location is a beautiful warehouse-turned-restaurant, complete with a gold leaf ceiling and glass etchings of a Thai goddess. Specialties include Rama Thai Delight, Pad Thai, and a Tail of Two Cities.

Thai it. You'll Like it! (tm)

    Very good food, nice stop to end my day. The wait staff was wonderful and the food was excellent. I haven’t had Thai food in a long time, and it hit the spot. The place was clean. And hostess was great. Would definitely stop here again. Thank you for a great meal for my birthday week. Dana 😊

    This was such a pleasant surprise on our trip to Minneapolis. We were so tired of all of the pub food downtown, so nice to find a great Thai restaurant. The food and service were outstanding and we had a wonderful bottle of wine as well. Good value. I will eat here again when I'm in town.

    We had a lovely family lunch and every loved the dishes they chose. We enjoyed choosing small plates to begin our meal and they were careful to deal with my food allergies.

    Sawatdee is always good. Pad Thai is the best But my life long favorite never disappoints. Red curry catfish. It’s fried to perfection, sauced and served with white rice.

    The food was amazing, I was surprised how quickly it arrived at our table. Once it arrived the scents were very aromatic, beautiful coloring, and the taste was delightful. I was pleased to find I could exclude an ingredient from my dish as I’m allergic to squid. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

    The food potions were very small and the quality was not good. The vegetables in the green curry were frozen bagged vegetables. The scallops in another dish had a bad taste to them. The meal was overall very disappointing and overpriced. We did have a nice waitress.
