Description:
DOWNTOWN. Sure, this engaging restaurant offers up the usual duck, chicken, and curry dishes that you'd expect to find at Minneapolis's oldest and best Thai restaurant. What really sets it apart, however, are the famous spring rolls, which have garnered regional attention since they were introduced at the 1976 State Fair. Along with an extensive menu, Sawatdee also has a beer list that includes Thailand's own brew, Singha. Reservations for large groups are suggested. |

Description:
WEST BANK. Inside this bright dining room, perfumed with herbs, diners happily peruse an expansive menu, searching for an old favorite or an intriguing new find. Appetizers, soups, salads, curries, wok-fried dishes, and noodles are all represented, and descriptions of each dish approach the poetic. Tofu, chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, and scallops come in an almost endless variety of preparations – as a chili-tamarind stir-fry, in classic sweet and sour sauce, as a Masaman curry, and more. Sweet sticky rice with coconut cream custard calls out from the dessert selection. |
