One of the best places around to get dinner! Whether you eat inside or get it to go it is delicious both ways. The pho is the best in the area and is always amazing and fresh. I’ve been coming to this location for years now and everyone who works here are always very friendly. The crab Rangoon are the best I’ve ever had!! I recommend the basil rolls as well. The portions are very generous and I always leave very full with some left overs for later :) I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Just finished the take out meal, Friday night, 6:45 PM: spring rolls, all shell, little filling - fried nothing. Ate 2, through 3 away. Satay chicken: orange color, tough, flavorless, peanut sauce no flavor: ate 2, through 3 away.. Thai basil main dish : little meat, salty, vegetables OK: though 1/2 away, Better than spring rolls and satay chicken. White rice: over cooked, dry, clumped, but ate most of it to fill up. The whole dinner was yucky, and I considered a waste of money.

I believe that the duck salad at this restaurant could be the singularly best salad in the entire universe. The ginger, pineapple, cashews, carrots, cilantro, apples...and DUCK all work together to create an explosion in the mouth (I have them hold the red onions, but they'd be another layer if you can handle them.) I have the dressing put on the side, but it's a sweet/hot chili dressing that's perfectly divine. My other fav at this place are the spicy noodles. mmmmmm.................

My favorite take spot in Winston, fresh roll tofu and Panang curry tofu …. On point??

Excellent food at a wonderful price especially when purchasing the lunch specials. Dinner sized portions and the green curry chicken was phenomenal with just the right amount of spices. Will definitely be back.

The lady working in Colovedale is incapable and intended to let customer wait for their order. In addition, She totally ignored the requests from customers like putting spicy source after customer was waiting for a long time. I was ordering takeout. She completely ignored my order and let the food put on the counter for a long time and then give it to me. She is totally incapable and can’t compare with the man usually working in the counter. She always shows bad attitude and really bad service. I was happy not see her now but she just shows up in the restaurant 1/22/2022 tonight again.

Great Thai food! (and great that it has quick delivery with Door Dash!)

I rarely give poor reviews because Google reviews are pretty accurate, but this was exceptionally bad. The pad thai was like nothing I've ever had before. I was looking forward to satisfying meal, but I ate only a few bites and could not finish the dish. The flavor was worse than bland.I am not sure how this place had so many positive reviews. Perhaps they recently changed their chef?We we were surprised to discover that it looked more like a fast food or mall restaurant inside Harris Teeter. I've mixed experiences, but thought, all those people can't be wrong.This is only the 2nd time in giving reviews over the past 5 years that I gave only 1 star.I will not be going back.

Normally I love Thai Sawatdee and have ordered from them multiple times. However, I placed an online order thru Doordash this evening and an hour later it was cancelled with no explanation. It was supposed to be delivered in about an hour and we were relying on that for dinner, so it was very frustrating to have it cancelled suddenly when it should have arrived shortly.

Love this place. I did not expect much, tucked away in Ardmore's Harris Teeter as it is. They actually have, I think, 8 4-tops, where people of all ages, races, persuasions sit, after giving in their orders at the counter. When your soup is ready, the guy comes bustling out to your table, bringing egg or spring rolls with soup -- for you and everyone else at the table.By-n-by, same fella shows up with your entré, takes away the first course. This, of course, is normal restaurant procedure. What's different is that who's serving and bussing, as well as ringing up your order and handling take-out orders over the phone, is the same person, who I've always assumed is the owner. There are two others, a woman and man,who take his place from time to time, but the procedure is always the same. I confess, I don't know any of their names, which is embarrassing, but we'll usually carry on a little light conversation.Again, I think they're all family, but have no knowledge of it. It's a happy and surprising discovery that a place with little space of its own has such a comfortable ambience, part which is that while there, you're looking out at HT's fresh fruit islands with their colorful grapefruits, oranges, pomegranates and such.Oh, and I should mention that their menu is extensive, reasonably priced and the food is GOOD.
