Awesome food, even better service!!! by Kelly C. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

I went to Sawadika for the first time this Wednesday for lunch. I was impressed from the second I walked in the door. The restaurant is located in a strip center near Luby's and Great Outdoors... Definitely a hole in the wall but those are usually the best ones... ;)

The decor was nice... somewhat modern with a lot of dark wood and the perfect accents that give a good color pop and infuse tidbit of the culture... I would be very pleased if a guy knew I liked Thai food and introduced me to this jewel!

I had the Thai Basil Chicken lunch special and it came with a bowl of their Tom Yum Gai (I think that was what it was) and it was a perfect start to the meal... Had just the right amount of spice... The entree (lunch portion) came out and it was enough to feed me for at least two more meals... Got it medium spicy and it was perfect... I think that they may have ordered it mild for me though since the bartender noticed I drank about 2 glasses of water with the soup... ;)

Soo the food was great, the atmosphere was cozy and modern, but the service is what really impressed me... My glass of water never got empty which was nice, but that's not what really put this place over the top... Right when I was about to check out the girl next to me asked about the music that was playing and if it was a CD because she really liked the mix... The lady behind the bar replied that she burnt it herself and thank you.... THEN she offered to make her a copy and would keep it behind bar for next time she came in... It's awesome to run into that great of customer service and sadly its hard to come by anymore... Genuine people that go above and beyond for the customer.... Will definitely be back.... SOOON!

New Favorite Restaurant

by Miss3088 at Citysearch

My husband and I just recently dined at Sawadika Thai Zone. We've tried basil fried rice with shrimp and Pad Kee Mow with chicken. WOW! It was amazing - the BEST asian food I have ever had and they cooked it just perfect! I can not wait to go back and I am going to order the exact same thing! I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends and family. It is a nice restaurant where you feel relaxed and comfortable and the staff is so gracious and welcoming. Sawadika Thai Zone is my new FAVORITE restaurant!

• Pros: nice atmosphere, clean ladies room.

Great Thai food and great deal

by Mlove at Citysearch

I went to Sawadika thai Zone last night and had a great experience! I ordered the Trio special. There was soup, dinner entree, and dessert. i also got a free eggroll which was the Halloween special. The green tea martini tasted wonderful. I spent less than $20 dollars for all of this. The servers were nice and friendly. At the end, I also received a halloween treat bag. This place is the best. I will be back soon with my family and friends.

• Pros: Great food, great drink, great service and great deal.

Great place for Thai Food...

by CaWood at Citysearch

We go to SaWaDiKa Thai Zone at least twice or three times a week. This is the only place for our Asian food craving. The service is very good. The servers are friendly and attentive. For appetizers, we always get the Thai Fried Egg Roll or the Fried Dumpling. For the entrees, we recommend the Choo Chee Salmon and Duck & Pineapple Curry.

The Mango sticky rice is the best for our dessert. We always come back for more.

• Pros: Best Thai Food in Dallas...

The best Thai Zone

by FRau32 at Citysearch

This Thai Zone has great Thai food with outstanding service. The lamb chop curry is the best dish I have ever had. I also love their Pad Kee Mow, it’s a spicy stir fried flat noodle. Their décor is nice and cozy.

The service was very prompt and attentive. We will be back for more hunting.

• Pros: Excellent food and service.

The Best Thai Food!

by jsmith7667 at Citysearch

We've tried many Thai places in DFW that we can find.

SaWaDiKa Thai Zone is the best one. The decor is very beautiful and different to others. Their waitstaff is very attentive & friendly. It's a good place for a date, lunch spot and business dining. They are serving lunch specials from 11:00am to 3:00pm Monday to Friday. Sometimes I go there around 2:00pm and enjoy my lunch break till 3:00pm. It's a very nice place and the price is reasonable. Especially, their Thai food is the BEST.

• Pros: Best Pad Thai and Pad Kee Mow

The Best Tom Kha I have Ever Tasted!

by Adie at Citysearch

Tom Kha is a simple soup however there are many different ways to prepare it...

I am not sure of how they do it but the flavor combinations tasted with each spoonful are absolutely amazing the blend of spices with its' ingredients make for the most flavorful combination that I have ever experienced! I have my definite favorite dishes but everything that I have sampled from the plates of friends and family has been top notch quality!

They will accommodate to any palate but be adventurous! SaWaDiKa is the perfect spot for business lunches/dinners, a small party of two or a large party of 15+ with a wonderfully mood calming atmosphere!

• Pros: The Best Tom Kha & Pad Thai Around!
• Cons: I have yet to find one, they are completely accomodating!

Good place for Lunch

by dinrajas at Citysearch

After getting tired of eating out at sandwich places for lunch, I was looking for some other alternative. Thats when I stumbled across SaWaDiKa as I was browsing for thai restaurants online. After seeing the really positive reviews, I chose to check out this place for lunch. As I entered the place I was greeted by a waitress right away even though the place was completely packed. I sat at the bar and after going through the lunch specials (which are a little bit pricey compared to other thai restaurants I have been to) I ordered the Thai Basil Chicken. The waitress brought me a soup of the day (a vegetable and tofu soup) which was included with the entree right away. It was pretty good. My Thai Basil Chicken came soon after ( I was actually impressed with the quick service despite being very crowded). I have to say it was the best version of this dish I have had. The chicken was cooked just right and the veggies were very fresh. I have been there a few times after that and I also tried the Pad Kee Mow which was also very good. Highly recommend this place!

• Pros: Service, food
• Cons: Lunch prices are a little pricey

Fantastic Thai Basil Fried rice! Yumm!

by wendyyork1 at Citysearch

This amazing Thai restaurant in Richardson hasTHE BEST Thai food in all of the dallas area! I usually get the Pad Kee Mow which is flat noodles with the basil and veggies, but today for thai food lunch, I ordered the f basil fired rice . It was fantastic! I can imagine this as a side dish as well for take out thai food. I am using my leftovers today ( the order is so large there is no way I can eat it all) for my dinner tonight. I think I'll make fish as a nice compliment to this thai restaurants fantastic basil rice dish. I highly recommened this restaurant.

• Pros: Fantastic service and yummy food
• Cons: none
