Sawadee Thai - Rolla

Wow! We just enjoyed the best Thai food in Missouri at this charming little restaurant. I had the Larb, and my husband had the Basil Fried Rice, and we are still raving about the meal. The food is freshly prepared, and the aromas are incredible. Our server, Jason, made the experience even better with his extensive knowledge of the menu and excellent recommendations. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. Thank you, Jason!

I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The food is fantastic, especially the pad Thai, which is absolutely amazing. However, the service tends to be quite poor. I visited yesterday for my birthday and we were served burnt egg rolls. I mentioned that I ordered them for my one-year-old, and they were so hard that he wouldn't have been able to chew them. Instead of an apology, the server suggested I might want to order the spring rolls instead (which I have tried and personally don’t like at all). Eventually, she did bring us properly cooked egg rolls, but her attitude remained off throughout our visit. The food deserves a solid 5 stars (unless they serve burnt dishes), but the service only gets 1 star. There is a very nice server who works there, though, and if you're lucky enough to have her, your experience might be a lot better. I just wish I could remember her name.

While I can't speak to the authenticity of the cuisine, I can confidently say that this restaurant offers some of the best food you'll find in Rolla. I've sampled around ten different entrees, and I'm consistently impressed by the flavors. The pad Thai is a classic dish, and the curries provide a delightful change for my palate. My personal favorite is the Panang Curry. I always order the Thai tea, which I highly recommend; it’s creamy, sweet, and feels more like a treat than just a beverage.

Really nice curries, fair prices, in a very casual environment. Not much atmosphere, but the service is good and the food is excellent. Ingredients are fresh band of high quality. Like any place Missouri, if you want it objectively spicy, you need to ask for it, as the standard in this geography is a little bland... but, ask for it with medium spices, and they know what to do. I assume that those who would ask for Thai-Hot would also agree.

Great authentic thai food. Great atmosphere, and the service was great as well. Food is always delicious and always fresh ingredients. Can't recommend it enough. It's a bit of a healthier option than other restaurants in the area as well.
