Your Home Away from Home
Sawasdee Thai Elevated was built by two lifelong food lovers with a simple belief: a great meal should do more than feed you — it should make you feel at home.
Sawasdee Thai Elevated | Our Story
How John and Walailak Started
John Conrad and Walailak opened Sawasdee in Plainview to bring Thai food prepared with genuine care to Long Island — and every decision since has been personal.
Every Plate Tells a Story
Classic recipes alongside bold, inventive dishes — the menu honors Thai culinary heritage without being bound by it. The freshest ingredients aren't a talking point here; they're the whole point.
A Sanctuary Worth Savoring
Newsday called it "a lovely sanctuary" — Thailand-inspired murals, elephant line-art, and purple ambient light make the room as memorable as the food.
Where the Community Gathers
Sawasdee has become Plainview's gathering place — birthdays, anniversaries, and weeknight dinners that become something more when the food is this good.
The Details That Define Us
Housemade signature sodas, exceedingly warm service, and a thousand thoughtful details — the small things at Sawasdee are never an afterthought.
