    Ridiculously Thorough Hospitality

    We hired Sawatdee to cater our wedding and were absolutely blown away by the quality of their service. From the beginning, Cyndy helped us work out *every* single detail, which is saying a lot because we had an exhaustive amount of questions and requests. She was always responsive, available, and helpful. The cocktail hour spread was so beautifully laid out. They printed a menu for our guests and brought extra spices and sauces on the side for the buffet dinner. They even cut our wedding cake for us. The staff were so efficient and it was awesome seeing them have a good time at our wedding. To top it off, the food at our wedding was the best we've ever had from Sawatdee - guests, even including our grandmothers and my great grandmother, went out of their way to rave to us about how much they loved the food. We ate the leftovers at work for lunch for a week and made me feel emotional every time. I can't recommend Sawatdee enough if you are looking for something other than dry Italian chicken or steak for your event catering. You won't regret it, and your guests won't either!

    Excellent Buffet Service

    The entire team at Sawatdee was awesome to work with- Cyndy was awesome to work with. We had a fair amount of dietary restrictions and requirements and Cyndy made sure that every single one of our guests was accommodated and taken care of. The entire team was very timely, cleanly, and handled the entire meal service with ease. We got some many complements on our food from all our guests! Would certainly recommend, especially if you are already a fan of Sawatdee!

    Best wedding food ever!

    Sawatdee was the perfect wedding caterer. The communication was always prompt and easy. Everyone raved about the food at our wedding! Thank you Cyndy and the whole Sawatdee team for making our day so great :)

    Small Private Wedding

    My husband and I hosted a small wedding celebration for our daughter. The space was perfect for our party of 15 people, but more could easily be accommodated. Our family has loved Sawatdee for years and the private room at the Washington location seemed perfect for what we wanted. The manager, Cyndy, was great. Easy to communicate with, responded to questions etc quickly, flexible- we wavered between having the wedding in the Sawatdee space and an outdoor location and she was fine with either (we ended up having the wedding in a park and then going to the restaurant for the reception.) We had left candles and flower arrangements for the table earlier in the day and they set it up for us. And there is a huge floral mural on the wall that really makes the space lovely. Our appetizers and preselected bottles of wine were ready when we arrived so we could immediately toast the bride and groom and have a little social time. We then individually ordered off the menu and everyone (even the picky eaters in the party who were unfamiliar with Thai food) loved their dishes. It was easy for the guests that wanted something other than wine to order from the bar. The service was fast and the server was wonderful. We couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. My daughter said it was "magical".

    Rave Reviews!!!

    Food:
    Our guests LOVED the food. Many said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We couldn't agree more. Everything was delicious and served well.

    Working w/Sawatdee:
    Cyndy went above an beyond in helping us plan the menu and coordinate the services. She is patient, kind, and a pleasure to work with.

    Above & beyond every expectation!

    Cyndy at her team at Sawatdee were outstanding to work with and we could not have asked for a better caterer to trust with the dinner service at our wedding. Cyndy put in so much work before the day, meeting with our venue coordinator to discuss the logistics of the space and even having one on one conversations with our guests who had specific dietary restrictions. She is extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. On our wedding day, the buffet was beautiful and full of some of the best Thai food we've ever had. All of the food was clearly marked with what common allergens it contained, so rest assured that any of your guests with dietary restrictions will know exactly what they can eat. Dinner service through the buffet was quick and smooth, and the Sawatdee team was out immediately after clearing plates. Many of our guests said the food at our wedding was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Beyond the delicious food and efficient staff, the best part for me as a bride about working with Sawatdee was knowing that I was leaving a huge part of our evening in confident, competent hands. We could not recommend Sawatdee any more!

    Amazing Wedding Food!

    From our tasting to our wedding, the owner/coordinator, Cyndy, was very responsive and accommodating. The food was delicious and any modifications we mentioned at the tasting were noted and taken care of at the wedding (ex: limes instead of lemons). The food was delicious and fun to have at our wedding! We and our guests loved it!

    Wonderful food and service for our rehearsal diner

    The Sawatdee team provided us with an absolutely excellent catering experience for our wedding rehearsal diner. Cyndy made sure the whole process was easy and simple from start to finish, and everything ran seamlessly on the day of our event. We and our guests loved the food! I could hardly believe how tender the chicken in the red curry was - so tasty! I would recommend Sawatdee without hesitation to anyone looking to cater their event.

    Great food, Great experience

    Cindy with Sawatdee Thai was a pleasure to work with and made planning our wedding reception dinner a breeze. She was very quick to respond to emails and was very flexible with some last minute requests that we made! The food was delicious and everyone at my party enjoyed it. 10/10 would recommend.

    Thai Buffet & Bar Service of our Dreams!

    Cyndy and the team at Sawatdee went above and beyond as our wedding food and alcohol vendor. Communication leading up to the event was prompt, informative, and so friendly. Sawatdee was an excellent option for us as our guests had a number of dietary restrictions. We had a fully vegetarian, mostly vegan, and mostly gluten free buffet of appetizers and desserts, and all our guests were over the moon about it! Service at our reception was fantastic and courteous; a special touch was that they boxed up the extra food for guests (and us!) to take home in compostable containers! Finally, as a queer couple, we felt very welcomed and affirmed every step of the way.

    Incredible & Delicious

    We absolutely LOVED working with Cyndy and Sawatdee. The food was so yummy and unique. Our guests loved having something other than plain chicken and potatoes. Cyndy was so lovely and easy to work with and all the servers were professional, kind, and efficient. Cyndy made the whole process easy, from deciding which dishes to choose to getting all the logistics figured out. I'm so glad we went with them for the wedding and will definitely choose them again for future events!

    Amazing food everyone loved!

    I truly cannot speak more highly of Sawatdee catering. The food was so good, most of our guests got seconds and thirds! The kids, the oldies - literally everyone was so pleased with the taste and quality of the meal. We felt Thai food fit our personalities and taste, and everyone said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We also did a coffee and tea service which was a hit. Food is such a big part of a wedding, I am so, so, so thrilled that we chose Sawatdee.

    Delicious Food!

    Would 100% recommended Sawatdee for your wedding! Cyndy was so flexible and responsive to all of my questions throughout the whole process. We decided to go with a family style meal and so glad we did! Our guests loved everything from the siracha & chili oil on the table to receiving take home boxes for leftover food! The chicken red curry was definitely a fan fav! Their team did a wonderful job and made our day go smoothly!

    Unique Dining Experience with Great Value

    Hosting a grooms dinner at a Thai restaurant may not be an obvious choice but we are so glad that we did. Planning for a grooms dinner is stressful but Cyndy and her team were responsive, accommodating and worked within our budget. which was tight. The guests enjoyed the variety of food (we went the buffet route) along with a hosted bar. And despite a number of guests having dietary restrictions, Cyndy worked with us to ensure everyone was able to enjoy the incredible food.

    We are so happy that we decided to have the grooms dinner at Sawadtee instead of going with the traditional American fare like so many wedding and grooms dinners do. At the end of the day, our guests raved about this experience and will remembers the uniqueness of having Thai cuisine (you must have the Thai coffee and tea as well as Thai beer) and you will appreciate the attentiveness of the staff as well as the value you get.

    We will not wait for another special occasion before we return for their food.

    Great place for large rehearsal dinner

    We and our 67 guests LOVED sawatdee. They did a wonderful job of setting up the party room and expanded the space to accommodate our large group. We went with the two entrees/two appetizer Buffett and two drink tickets per guest We were able to add our own table decorations. Food was hot. Service was top notch. Would highly recommend this place!

    Best decision ever!

    We are so thrilled that we chose Sawatdee for our wedding food. My husband and I love Thai food and really wanted to have it on our wedding day but we never had heard of anyone serving Thai food at their wedding! We began the search and we were so excited when we found Sawatdee! They went above and beyond our expectations. They were so helpful all throughout the process, communication was flawless, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was at our wedding. All thanks to Sawatdee for an incredible experience, we are so so grateful. Highly recommend!!

    Professional and great food

    Cyndy is very responsive and professional. The food was great! and the staff were very professional and did a great job on our wedding day. Our venue required licensing and they had completed it before we even locked them in as our caterer, that made our decision easy.

    Delicious food and wonderful service!

    Sawatdee catered our wedding and I received so many compliments on the food! Cyndy was great to work with from our first tasting to our wedding weekend. She was friendly and accommodating with all our requests. We had to push out our wedding date twice due to COVID and she was very understanding and made it easy for us during stressful planning times. Her team did a fantastic job at the reception. The food came out on time, fresh and the presentation was lovely! I would highly recommend Sawatdee!

    Perfect for our summer reception!

    Sawatdee was great to work with for our COVID delayed reception! Communication with Cyndy was clear and she was flexible in order to make our catering work for us (she allowed us to change the menu options a bit to fit our needs). She also let us pick up linens ahead of time so we could get the tables decorated before catering staff arrived. Our guests enjoyed having the tasty Thai food (as a nice change from typical reception fare). All in all, I would definitely recommend Sawatdee for a reception/wedding; Cyndy, in particular, did a lot to make sure the food and drink service went smoothly.

    Sawatdee Wedding Catering

    My husband and I grew up in Thailand together, so we really wanted to have Thai food as our wedding catering. We were working with a tighter budget and an even tighter timeline, but Cyndy from Sawatdee was the easiest caterer to work with. Cyndy and her team exceeded our expectations and we received countless compliments on the food during our wedding.
    The food was incredibly delicious and looked stunning during the event, and the onsite service was incredible as well - the servers made sure that the heaters were ready and that everything was prepared and ready to go.
    We also worked closely with Cyndy throughout the wedding planning process, and she was flexible, responsive, professional, and all-around was wonderful to work with.
    If you want AMAZING Thai food for your wedding catering, then Sawatdee is definitely the way to go!!

    Unique and helpful caterer

    Our guests loved the food from Sawatdee! We got so many compliments on the tasty, unique food - not your typical wedding fare. The coordinator we worked with, Cyndy, was very responsive and helpful when making catering decisions. On the day of, her staff had everything set up on time and got our guests through the buffet quickly. We would recommend this caterer for a reasonably priced, delicious meal!

    Great food and service!

    The food we got from Sawatdee at our wedding was some of the best Thai food we've had, and was very fresh and flavorful. It surpassed our expectations and there was plenty of food for everyone on a reasonable budget. Guests were all very happy with it.

    Only con, was sometimes communication leading up to the event took a bit, but it was all well within time for the event.
