"We recently hired Sawadee as one of our catering vendors for our wedding and I can hands down say that was the BEST pad thai I have ever tasted. The guests loved it with a lot of our friends and family still talking about the food to this day! The service was exceptional and I would definitely recommend Sawadee food trucks to anyone wanting a fun, tasty and friendly vendor at their next event. Thank you for making our special day even more magical!"

"Had a chicken pad thai, it’s really good and feels very authentic. Especially loved how I was given chili flakes instead of fresh chili or chili sauce. Will definitely come back!"

"I had an amazing Pad Thai last night! It was the best, or equal to the best, I've ever eaten. I've eaten this dish many times, in NZ and in Thailand. It's my standard comparison dish when trying a new Thai food provider. If the Pad Thai is good, I return to try something else."

"Just want to thank these guys for doing the food for our son’s wedding in Tauranga 2 weeks ago at Ataahua Garden Venue The food truck was perfect for a garden party wedding and the food (1starter and 2 mains) and the service were awesome! Many of the guests were very complimentary of both! Was very easy to arrange for which we were very appreciative! Thank you again! Would definitely recommend!"
