I was really excited to try this place, read a lot of reviews and it seemed like it would be a great place to eat. (Be prepared to have deep pockets when you go). I had the Penang curry it had some small pieces of rib meat in it which one of the pieces couldn't be eaten because it had so much fat but the other one was delicious. There was no green onions in it they put another green thing it looked like mint. There was a ton of curry sauce , matter of fact I took a picture of it because it was an excessive amount with very little substance. It had a good taste but I felt like I was eating soup and not curry.

The best thing about this restaurant was the service!! They were so attentive to my allergy and transparent about what went into each dish. They also checked on us frequently. Many of the tables here are large communal tables where you share space with other parties and that made it hard for us to have separate conversations. We also wished that the food was a little spicier.

You can do private events here outside of normal working hours. The menu and drink selection are quite wonderful. I would highly recommend having your smaller corporate event here. Their private upstairs room is ideal for a controlled space.

Haven’t been to Sway since they closed their south lamar or Congress location. It’s been years. But we visited the Westlake location, which wasn’t that bad of a drive. Mason was a great waiter. He was attentive and patient and made really great recommendations. I really liked everything we tried. The coconut lime soda was so fragrant. It looks cloudy white but the taste is amazing. The tom Kha soup flavor was really good but I’m not a fan of the smell/taste of pre-cooked shredded chicken that was in the soup. It’s not a fresh taste but the mushrooms and bamboo shoots were delicious. They added a really amazing texture. The curry was really good and viscous. The meat was fall-apart good. We ended up even dipping our brussel sprouts in the curry sauce! I loved the creamy texture and even the potatoes in the curry had a great grill taste. I’m so glad we came here. I look forward to visiting again!

This will always be one of my favorite elevated Thai restaurants. It is consistently solid, with a polished vibe that still feels fun and approachable. We went during happy hour from 5-6pm, when cocktails are 50% and there is a special food menu. The food portion felt a little strange. It seemed less like traditional happy hour deals and more like smaller portions of their regular appetizers at a lower price. Not a deal breaker, but certainly not a happy hour deal either. For appetizers, the Brussels sprouts were very good and had a nice kick, definitely one to order if you enjoy a bit of heat. The pork rolls were good but nothing particularly memorable. For entrees, the Son in Law is unbeatable and always my top recommendation. It is hands down the best dish on the menu and never disappoints. The crispy chicken, on the other hand, is a pass. There is nothing wrong with it, but for the price you would expect something truly standout, and it just does not deliver at that level. Do not skip dessert. The coconut ice cream is amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. It gets pretty loud inside when they are busy, so going during happy hour or at an odd time is probably the best
