Customer Reviews
We are a family (8) from Thailand born and raised there stumbled upon this new Thai restaurant while we're waiting for a pizza place next door, and decided to give them a chance. Mind oh mind the first best decision in 2026! Everything was super delicious that we didn't want to write a review because we're afraid that they'd become so popular, and we have to wait in line next time. The food quality is 10 out of 10. The portion was perfect for 4 adults to share on each dish. Most dishes are even more delicious than what we could get in Thailand! The presentation on each dish was very thoughtful and detailed oriented. Our kids (7-13) were super grateful they got to eat the food the same quality they used to taste in Thailand. Oh, they also have the best Thai iced tea, not the sugar and c
They were very creative with their menu. Our favorite was the fried shrimp rings. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and bouncy on the inside. Although there was a minor error in our order, they promptly rectified it for us. We truly appreciate their attention to detail and customer service!
One of my new favorite restaurants in the bay! Everything we had was 10/10. The service was also lovely (attentive but not disruptive). We had the cloud ring, golden massaman chicken curry, and spicy drunken heaven. Ambiance was warm with holiday decorations and they have the comfiest chairs! Can’t wait to come back and try more things.
I visited Sawaan a couple months ago now and I still remember the fondness I felt after leaving the meal. They are a new modern Thai restaurant with a fresh take on a thai cuisine menu and trendy decor. The staff here are so sweet and considerate. We ordered the tofu cloud, spicy drunken heaven, and the lemongrass catfish. The tofu cloud came with this thick and sweet peanut sauce. I enjoyed the aromatics in the drunken noodles. Our favorite was definitely the catfish. Make sure to eat everything while it is hot! You can taste the freshness in the catfish. Food is most important at a restaurant, yet I’d like to highlight how well decorated Sawaan is. They put a lot of effort in the design choices from the ceramics to the light fixtures to the menu.
This is a fairly new modem Thai restaurant and it was fun to try. My favorite dishes were the Cloud Ring and the Super Zap Soup. I also ordered the Lemongrass Fish and the Grilled Tongue of the Gods. The Could Ring is fried shrimp and it was fried perfectly. The soup was very tasty with beef tendon, albeit very spicy because I asked for it. 😬 The Lemongrass Fish was okay and the same with the Grilled Tongue. You gotta eat the food quickly or else the texture changes when it gets cold. I would like to come back to try other menu items.
