I was pleasantly surprised by its unique communal dining concept. Sharing a long table with other diners added a social and lively touch to the meal, making it feel more like a shared experience than just another dinner out. The food was fantastic—authentic Thai flavors, fresh ingredients, and well-balanced spices. Whether you’re going with friends or open to meeting new people over great food, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Great food (very spicy though but I like spicy!) we got the jungle curry and the tiger cry, and calamari for an appetizer. Great service and food didn’t take too long to come out. Drinks are also delicious

Chelsea was a phenomenal server. Delicious food, great recommendations for our choices, made my friend visiting from Cali for her birthday feel really special ( thank you for no awkward singing). Counter seats were great to see the action in the kitchen but the chairs were a bit uncomfortable and had quite a cold draft blowing down. Fully understood it’s needed to keep the kitchen staff feeling cool in front of those hot stoves so will just make sure to reserve a standard table next time. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food, drinks were great. Great to share. You sit with other people but still feels spacious. Rooftop bar was closed for special event but was very nice inside.

Hi David, Thanks for the kind words! If you don't mind me asking, what about the food didn't hit with you? We'd love to take these opportunities to focus on what didn't quite vibe with you so we can improve them for your next visit. Thank You Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager

Not much people. Blue crab fry rice is too spicy. Soup is too salty

Brought my niece for her birthday dinner, and it was her fist time having Thai food. No better place to experience delicious Thai food, and we enjoyed every single dish! The Son In Law is always a WIN at Sway; but everything we had was amazing!
