About

Sawan serves familiar Thai dishes in a clean, bright dining room, with vegan versions of many curries, noodles, and fried rice clearly marked or available on request. The mushroom larb travels well for takeout, and reviewers praise the thick yellow and pumpkin curries, though one regular finds the prices a little steep.
