Sawaan Thai Kitchen

The new Thai restaurant in Mission area, it is so different than other Thai restaurants I’ve tried in the city. The food is authentic and flavorful in a modern way. Great interior and the vibes are so cute. They just opened a fee weeks and their foods are bold. Service and atmosphere inside the restaurant is also amazing. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

If you’re looking for authentic Thai flavors in a cozy setting, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I started with the fried shrimp, which was an absolute highlight—crispy and golden on the outside while staying soft and juicy inside. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to order a second round. Another standout was the spicy stir-fried seafood, packed with fresh shrimp and squid. The flavors were bold, rich, and perfectly balanced with that signature Thai heat that keeps you coming back for more. Every bite was full of aroma and excitement, making it one of the best versions of this dish I’ve had. The service was warm and friendly, with staff who made the dining experience feel welcoming and relaxed. Combined with the inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, it’s the kind of place where you can enjoy not just the food but also the overall experience. Overall, this is a hidden gem for anyone who loves real Thai cuisine—delicious food, great service, and a comfortable ambiance that makes you want to return. (September 15,2025) I had the lemongrass fish with jasmine rice along with Hatyai-style crispy chicken. Every dish was freshly prepared and full of flavor. The staff were warm and welcoming — it really felt like dining at home. (July 14,2025)

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.

New place and a must-try!!! My dinner at Sawaan was next level. I had the Fried Shrimp glazed with homemade tamarind sauce sweet, tangy, crispy perfection. Then came the juicy marinated pork, grilled just right with a deep, savory flavor. All were good with sticky rice. It’s the kind of dish that reminds you why Thai street food is unbeatable, full of flavor and heart. Real Thai taste and feel like real Thai heaven ☁️✨

This Thai restaurant is amazing!! So glad that we have this new spot in the neighborhood. We have been here twice and can really feel how much thoughts have been put into the food, menu design, service, ambience, and even the plates and utensils feel unique and high quality. 👏 It’s modern and creative, like look at the shrimp donuts!! I’ve never seen something like this. The donuts were so much more delicious than I thought it would, thin panko layer, solid shrimp inside and not oily at all. My favorite was the crab on rice. You do get good amount of crab, and it was well seasoned. We came back and ordered it again. We also loved the fried chicken, green curry and macarons from the first visit. However, the macarons were not offered this time, the lemon macaron was so good!

Very exciting, delicious Thai restaurant. Fun food! Looking forward to returning.

Best authentic Thai food I’ve had. The curry was amazing, meat was tender and service impeccable.

Stumbled onto this gem, and so glad I did. This place not only has an extensive creative menu, but also an adorable interior with great staff. We had the drunken noodles, coconut shrimp donuts, and papaya salad. All were great with large portions. Will definitely return for these donuts.
