Sawatdee Thai - Lexington Park

Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Recommended dishes: Pho

I last came here two years ago and must have liked it because I rated it well, so I decided to try it again. The food is a solid 5 stars but the location and lack of sir conditioning made me want to remove a star, but I just can't. The food deserves all 5.

Absolutely one of the best places to get Thai. The food is wonderful and the owners are absolutely amazing nice people!

Stopped here after a college tour with family. The food was nicely spiced and very fresh. We enjoyed the unique selection of sodas and juices in the fridge, purchased some to go. The owner was very friendly, the food was very good, would go again. We have the spring rolls very fresh) chicken pad Thai, red curry shrimp and crispy pork. Parking: Plenty space for parking.

Atmosphere: small strip mall restaurant; bar and kitchen fill the middle of room with most dine-in seating in the rear. Nicely decorated. Service: when eating in or taking out, servers are always friendly and helpful. I'm taking the stars off here, since the food is good and it's more of a service/management problem. The problems are order accuracy and ingredient availability. In two recent visits, I have ordered pad king. The menu describes this item as how pad prik king is almost always prepared: green beans (sometimes red bell peppers , protein, spicy red sauce; this is the desired preparation and what I would expect to receive if the menu says it. Twice, this has been prepared as pad king, with no green beans and a mixture of vegetables (celery, mushrooms, scallions, lemongrass, peppers that isn't in the menu description. Additionally, upon ordering this on a visit a few years back, we were told they did not have green beans available (which I prefer being told instead of getting the dish incorrect, but why don't you have green beans when they are on the menu? . This is a pretty common dish I get at most thai places; I am too often (50%? disappointed at how it is prepared. Food: All that said, the food you do get is pretty good. Veggies cooked to just crunchy, right level of spice, good balance of veg and protein. On one recent visit we had what felt like too much soupy curry and not enough rice in the two to-go containers (each was like 75% full , but that's not a big deal; the food was still good. Overall: wish the pad king was prepared how the menu says. Otherwise, enjoy!
