Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Saowanee's Place Thai Restaurant. The green curry chicken and soft shell crab were stand outs.

Lovely atmosphere, very tastety
The owner is very nice
Excellent and delicious food and service, thankyou
Absolutely love coming here. Must go again soon
Absolutely delicious... the best Thai food for sure.
It The most delicious Thai food EVER.....!
Beautiful decor and attentive staffs. We had tomyum soup, chilli and basil chicken, red duck curry, pawpaw salad, green curry chic and mango sticky rice. Be sure to try their soft shell crab too!
Having lived in Thailand for over 10 years, we enjoy good Thai food. We booked Saowanee's Place for my husband's 50th. Beau arranged a superb banquet which the guests raved. Some highlights were the Green Curry, Thai Basil Beef and Cashew Nut Chicken. The staff and management were friendly, efficient and professional.
We have wanted to try this Thai restaurant for awhile now, and we weren't disappointed when we did.
Chosen dishes were authentic, fresh and tasty and sizing was good. We thoroughly enjoyed the Belly Pork Kylan Salad which is one of the restaurant's signature dishes.
Next Stop: Bangkok!
Awesome food. Reasonable prices. Attentive staff. Big selection of food on their menu. One of my faves for Thai right now. Try the crispy pork belly on fried kailan. Absolutely gorgeous!

This little Thai restaurant is just the sort of place that you can imagine sitting down in a cosy dining area served with good quality meal. I would recommend booking in advance to avoid being caught without a table for a big group.
The meals come with good portion size, served with white rice. Six dishes were just nice for a 6 pax table. The Tamarind Fish had a nice tang from the sauce. The Massaman curry with beef has a very nutty taste and not too spicy. There wasn't a drop of curry left when we were finished with our rice. The Seafood Tom Yam was has that sourness that just hit the right spot. The beef salad has that kind of nice wholesome presentation and taste. A dinner at a Thai restaurant is not complete without a Pad Thai dish, and the vegetarian Pad Thai dish that we ordered was able to give us that satisfaction with its sweet-ish taste. Last but not least, we had our green curry with chicken and bamboo shoots. I personally find it slightly too spicy for me, but that didn't stop me from drenching my rice with it and enjoying it.
I could never fault this place and it's such a nice place to enjoy a hearty meal. This restaurant has also recently won the 2016 Thai Select Certification awarded by the Royal Thai government upon their recent visit, more reason to give this restaurant a try!
I keep forgetting to review this place because the food has always left me speechless and satisfied.
Food service is very fast and doesn't compromise on flavour, colour and size. The foods are flavoursome with all the necessary spices, coconut milk, meats, vegetables and garnishes to ensure the presentation meets authentic Thai cuisine.
I have to agree that this is the best Thai restaurant in Perth!
Our local Thai restaurant and we are never disappointed. Always a beautiful meal, great service and a fantastic wine list. Also good for take away.
This is 100% the best Thai in Perth, if not Aus! Each time we are not let down, food is of a really high standard and soooo good. Definite faves are panang curry & chicken pad see ew. Staff are super friendly and wait time for take away is only ever around 20 mins. Closed Tuesdays.
Every dish we tried was tasty, from soups, stir fried, curries and salads. It's not gourmet and the ambience isn't flashy but it's solid flavoursome authentic Thai flavours and service with a smile. A lot of options for vegans and vegetarians too.
Awesome Thai food but comes with a price. Ive been here so many times and some of my favorite dishes are the Tom Yum and Larb gai. Prices are off putting to me , although I enjoyed dining here over the years I am not convinced that they are the best in Thai food and value for money.

Service was quick and efficient on a busy Friday night. Started with prawn crackers and spring rolls which were not bad.
Mains we ordered:
Beef massaman curry
Chicken panang curry
Pork green curry
Roast duck red curry
Larb gai
Chicken pad Thai
Crispy pork belly salad with fried kailan
Steam rice
All the curries were amazing, the beef massaman was particularly outstanding. The beef was melt-in-yo-mouth tender and the sauce was rich and full of flavour. The other 3 curries tasted pretty similar but they were all really nice.
Pad Thai was my least fave dish and I wouldn't order their version again. Definitely not the best version I've had.
Of the two salads we ordered the crispy pork belly salad was the better. We were most surprised/delighted to find the veggies were actually battered and deep fried. BEST SALAD EVEEERRRRRRRR! Haha. A tad more dressing wouldve been good though. Larb gai was OK..
More marinated chicken mince than salad but the dressing was well balances and refreshing.
Would most definitely visit again!
The food is amazing! Rich flavours, authentic dishes and generous servings. Lovely, friendly and prompt service. My favourite Thai restaurant in Perth! Worth the accolades.
This place is a little gem and is one of my favourite Thai places to go. The owners are lovely and the food here is consistent, delicious and oh so amazing. The dishes are packed full of flavour and they are quite generous with their servings. Rice is unlimited which is great (I have a pet peeve for places that charge a ridiculous amount for a small bowl of rice when it is so cheap to buy/make). They have some real stand out dishes which other Thai places can’t seem to compete with. This is the place to go to get my Thai fix!
Good food, good service. The couple we went with knew the owners so that may have helped on the service side - couldn't fault it. The waitress was from Chiang Mai, one of our favourite food places in the world. We shared Pad Prik, Gang Panang, Chilli and Basil Stir Fry (Beef), Deep Fried Whole Fish in Tamarind Sauce and Paw Paw Salad. All lovely. The Deep Fried Fish was my favourite. We had some of their Balachaung (shredded dried shrimp with chilli and stuff), which was so good we bought a couple of jars to go.
Great Thai Food. Went there last night before a gig at the Rosemount. Good service, fast. Generous serves for Thai. I had tom yum soup for entree and Pad Thai for main. My friend had chicken satay for entree and thai omlette and stirfry for main. Authentic flavours. Licenced. good explanatory menu if you are not familiar with thai Cuisine.
Non wonder it's won so many awards.... Brilliant authentic Thai like I've not tasted before in Perth with an amazing range of dishes. Must do for all you Thai lovers out there :-)
Always top class!. We have been going to saowanees for over two years and after another amazing meal tonight I thought it was time to give them a good review!
The staff are quiet and there to do their job, not to be chatty! However they are always polite and the service is prompt.
We don't go there for the staff or the de or or the ambience...we got there for the food! It is the closest thing to authentic Thai food we have found since arriving in Perth. We have tried many others but none have ever compared to saowanees!
The panama curry is outstanding, the spring rolls and wontons on the starter menu are delicious and the stir fries are always so fresh and perfectly cooked.
Well down to Robert and his wife for consistently providing excellent food!

I don't know about "best Thai in Perth". Saowanees Place has won numerous awards. With so many awards, I wanted to check out what all the fuss was about!
We arrived at the restaurant at 5pm, we didn't make a reservation as I felt it would be fine during the week. The lady serving us seemed annoyed by this and I felt as though it was a hassle for her to check the reservation book?? Anyway, we got a table and given menu's.
We shared an entree of spring rolls and they were definitely the best we have ever eaten!
Served hot and fresh with real sweet chili sauce - not the bottled type you buy from Woolworths.
The Pad Thai with chicken was not greasy/oily like most I have tried. It is packed with flavour and is generous in size.
The Green Curry was hot and spicy, unfortunately not the best we have had (according to my husband, it comes third on the list) but was still a tasty authentic Thai curry.
I would come back for the Pad Thai and Spring rolls but take away only. The unfriendly and rude service from the first waitress we had put me off.
So good, best thai in Perth.. You need to try everything on the menu at least once. So many flavours, can't stop going back. Have only tried take-away but have been very impressed.
A very satisfying dinner on a night when our stomachs were rumbling with hunger. Fish cakes, tom yum saowanees and pla rad prik
You'll love it. Best thai food ever, fantastic menu and prices are very reasonable.
can't say enough good things about Saowanee's. We go every chance we can.
Very friendly staff also
Best Thai Green Curry!. My favourite place for Friday lunch, great lunch specials and quick service
Just has dinner on the veranda it was the perfect way to end a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend this place!
Had the deep fried fish curry, delicious!
Best Thai so far. I've been trying a lot of Thai restaurants in Perth and this one is my favorite so far. I couldn't find any green curry better than the one is served here .Other dishes that are also good are drunken noodles and paw paw salad. I am a regular customer and I can say the service, sometimes, is very poor. However, I always come back for the food.

Very Good. Decent service and price isn't too bad
Nice atmosphere and food comes out quite fast
Amazing Red Curry and tom yum soup is good too
Definitely coming back !
Delicious thai. My partner and I have been here two or three times and I always order the chicken wonton soup because its delicious!
Food: 4/5 (great dish options - I love the chicken wonton soup and my partner likes the different meat dishes)
Price: 4/5 (decent prices for Perth + BYOB)
Service: 3/5 (encountered some very friendly staff as well as a one very unfriendly and unhelpful waitress)
Atmosphere: 4/5 (very nice atmosphere, relaxed)
Authentic Thai food. Do yourself a favour, great food and service at a reasonable price. Will not disappoint!
Love this place!. Great service, great food and lovely staff. Went with a big group of friends and had a wonderful time. Will definitely be going back!
Soft shell crab addiction!!. I must say, this place is a winner!!! :)
Great food nice & fresh and fabulous service, can't wait to come back
Genuinely the best Thai in Perth. The sign out the front doesn't lie. I've been going here for years and I can't get enough. Highly recommend the macadamia nut stir fry! Also their wine list has a great selection of WA wines, at unbelievable prices compared to most other restaurants. It's BYO but there is honestly no need :D
Awesome food terrible service. I've spent quite a bit of time in Thailand and the reason I go back is the place puts Perth to shame when it come to service. Clearly the owners should take their staff back there so they can see how it's done.
Fantastic!!!! Saowanees Place is fantastic!! The garlic pepper squid is yummmmmy as is the rest of their lovely food!

Delicious food, atrocious service! Waited about 30 mins before a waitress came to us, had to find our own table to sit on and open our own wine. She was rude and very unfriendly, however the saving grace was the food. Really delicious and couldn't stop til we had finished it all. The massaman curry is excellent, as well as the seafood Ree curry.
Love this place!. All that needs to be said here is that this has to be the best thai food in Perth. I am never disapointed. I can recommend the Tom Yum Saowanees style with coconut milk. Amazing! Cute little restaurant which is always busy too.
We always got a great service and food Is always excellent is taste. Try tamarind prawns, massaman curry and red duck curry.
Not the most authentic I've had but not too bad food was nice however it's byo wine only not beer. The larb chicken salad was good, however my Tom yum soup had no lemongrass which I found odd none the less had the right flavors worth a try!!
Oh my goodness. I have never had a Tom yum goong with so many prawns :) there must have been about 10 of them. I did get the large serving. So I knew I would have more than most serving. But this was impressive. And the soup. Delish!!!! I will be coming back for sure!!!
Terriic thai. Had heard mixed reviews so went to find out for myself.sat outside as it was a nice evening.the staff were nice.food arrived quickly,vegies where fresh,red curry was good.a nice place in all....8/10
Good food but terrible service. I have been to this Thai restaurant a few times, and really do recommend the, satay sticks, Yellow curry, Massaman curry and the Saowanee's style Tom Yum.
The service however is absolutely terrible, I asked the waitress for a drink then changed my mind and asked if they had hot tea, and she just stared at me blankly and I repeated my request she ignored me and asked for the next persons order. I ended up getting tea, but I had no idea what I was going to get!
They have ALWAYS added extra things onto our bill as well, which is hard to decipher because it's written in Thai. Make sure you manually add it up before going to pay.
I have resorted to only getting take away food as I just can't stand the horrible service.
Was absolutely delightful, reasonably priced, great service! We will definitely be back. Great menu - red curry was close to the best I've ever eaten. A great meal.
Need to go back again. I haven't been to Saowanee's Place for a couple of years now. But I found their curries to be very tasty. The only curry I would recommend to stay away from is the duck red curry, not because it's bad... but their other menu selections are much better.

Happy belly!. First of all, Saowanee's Place is awesome because it opens on Monday night! Searching for food in Perth on a Monday night can be a disappointing and fruitless struggle... so thankyou Saowanee for just being open!
We ordered spring rolls for entree, prawn pad thai, basil something-or-another fish, a vegetable and tofu red curry and steam rice. Between four people this was more than enough, and came out to a reasonable $23 pp.
As a recent convert to the joys of capsaicin I was glad that the chef/s were generous with their use of chilli in the basil/fish dish. All of the dishes had a real punch to them and I'd hazard a guess that they are more authentic than most thai food you'd find in this city.
If you put a bowl of Saowanee's Pad Thai in a ring with Hans Cafe Noodles, Saowanee's Pad Thai would kick Hans Noodles' ass. Actually, Hans Noodles would be so nervous of the sight of Saowanee's Pad Thai it would cower limply in the corner, weeping, and refuse to even get in the ring.
The Best Thai. We have eaten many times at this excellent restaurant and the food is always perfect.
The food is authentic and beautifully prepared.
The service is always friendly.
It's very reasonably priced.
We're looking forward to our next visit.
Awesome food. I've been there many times and it's one of the best Thai restaurants in Perth. Certainly recommend it and will go there again.
Curries are lovely. Tonight about 30 Thai people turned up for a party, so this place must be good.
Excellent Massaman curry. Meat was very generous large chunks, which was meltingly tender. Pad Thai very tasty. Service good. Would recommend
Always. The food is always excellent. Hard to go past for Thai quality. Excellent green paw paw salad and the best green chicken curry.
Saowanee's. Saowanee - in in my opinion - is absolutely the best Thai food in Perth.
Have been here with friends and my partner 10 or 12 times over the past six years and the food has always been excellent, the service has been first class and the staff are genuinely friendly. Highly recommended!
Great food ... try it out. Very nice tom yum seafood in a rich creamy sauce. Also had the yellow curry with tofu and vegetables. The basil, chilli, garlic beef was also good.
Great banquets, good service. Good location but small venue. Always busy so best to book to be safe.
Great for dining in or take away really nice green Thai curry. :)
New decor but the food and service are the same. I have been coming here for years and it is still the best Thai food in Perth.
The staff here are always friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!
My family has been eating here for years! We don’t live close - it’s a 45 minute drive - but we always eat here to celebrate every wedding anniversary and family member birthday. The food is well worth the drive!
So we were so sad when they closed for renovations last year! But the good news is they’re open again! And the new decor is awesome! So bright and welcoming. And the food and prices are just as fantastic as they always were! The staff are genuine and friendly - they always remember us.
Honestly, if you love authentic Thai food you HAVE to check this place out!
Had the most amazing Thai food in Perth. Only wish we had bigger stomachs - great food, wonderful portions , beautiful service. The ambience is clean and refreshing , and so inviting.
Food was good. Also, the staff here was too friendly. They reserved a table for us for the time we requested.
Ample of parking space available so that isn’t an issue either.
Staff understands your special requests and gets the food prepared as you request.
Went there for dinner with my wife and my parents. The dishes ordered were Papaya Salad, Stir Fried Chicken and Red Beef Curry
All of it tasted good
Our favourite Thai restaurant in Perth. Came here for the first time 7 years ago and fell in love with their Pad Thai. I think it is the best I have ever had and I have come back for it many many times, it is just consistently great. My partner and I have also tried all their curries through out the years and they are all amazing. The food is definitely best when dining in but take away has been very good, too. The staff is super friendly and helpful with dietary requirements. I am already looking forward to our next visit. I can just highly recommend going there in general.
