Sawasdee Thai Cuisine – Authentic Thai Flavors & Cozy Dining in Ventura, CA

After years of dining here, we always find the food and service to be consistently great! We've experimented and nothing on the menu has been less than excellent (mind you... pay attention to the spice ratings!) We really enjoy the curry dishes and the mango chicken was an instant favorite. Dining room decor will keep your eyes wandering and the noise level never gets so loud as to be distracting or annoying. Always a delightful evening!!

Just had an amazing meal here and everything was excellent! We ordered the chicken satay, beef with vegetables, and Tom Kha soup. The satay was perfectly grilled with that classic flavor, and the beef with vegetables was fresh and flavorful. The Tom Kha soup really stood out — creamy, balanced, and full of flavor while still being mild enough to enjoy every spoonful. Great portions, great taste, and overall a really satisfying dining experience. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

Can’t go wrong with any of the dishes here, as everything was fresh & came out hot & tender. Bonus was that the food came out on unique plates. Got Spicy Fried Rice (Chicken; Added Pineapple; Level 3 Spice), Gyoza, & a Shirley Temple.

Wife and I have gone to this restaurant every valentines day. Tonight was a great date night. At the door it does say masks required. Although I am lead to believe that it's an older sign.. just not changed . I still respected it regardless that we are fully vaccinated. As you walk into the door you simply can ring the bell to let staff know your waiting. We waited all but maybe a minute before being seated. Staff was friendly and greeted us kindly. We sat in a booth. Restaurant was clean and you can tell they definitely upkeep the place. Dishes ranging from 5.00 to 20.00 most are served for a portion of 2 people.. its a lot of food .. but I also like to take some home. With that being said you can easily rack up a larger dinner bill. Wife and I ordered tea's. She ordered the Thai tea (large) No refill on the specialty drinks but on the normal tea and soda yes. I just ordered regular unsweetened tea. We started are meal with some appetizers the Triangle Crisp's and the Freash rolls (shrimp) you won't be disappointed by the Freash rolls great peanut sauce and basil sauce. This is the largest rolls I have encountered. Really good . Refreshing. Tom yum Shrimp followed along with Combination fried rice . I added pineapple do delicious with it . We also ordered the Pork Pad Thai. Restaurant for the most part is very quiet and cozy you definitely will have an intimate setting. Nice place to take your date or tour spouse.

Celebrated an 80th birthday here last Saturday (late September 2025) with 10 friends and had a great time. Prompt, friendly service, excellent food and pretty much half the restaurant all ours as Sawasdee is divided into two large spaces—each side with plenty of tables—and smaller more intimate parties had the other side. (Clearly a much larger party than ours could have fit in our half.) We two out-of-towners had never been there before but the locals we knew had highly recommended Sawasdee and we have to agree with their assessment! We were treated very well. Highly recommend Sawasdee Thai Cuisine for a group celebration or a quiet private meal. I know only that they offered vegetarian and gluten-free options.

The Thai fried rice was so good. The portions were big but also didn’t make me feel sluggish at all afterwards, which is not the case with most restaurants serving fried rice dishes. Will absolutely come again

Tried this restaurant after searching for a good Thai place. Service was wonderful as well as their food selection.They have many choices for food and they can prepare your meal as requested.

Definitely a place to put on your lunch/dinner list. Went with family, 6 of us, and we loved our plates. Everything was flavorful and delicious, with plenty to feed us all. The service was amazing as well, the hostess was nice with the rest of the staff being just as friendly. Seating and plating was also fast. I really only have positive things to say of this place and will definitely recommend to others.
