We love the chicken pad thai here, it’s super flavorful and savory! The ladies are super nice, and the place is very clean. Great spot of you’re wanting something different than the norm. I’d recommend everyone try it at least once!

I’ve lived in Shawnee since 2016 and somehow I’ve never stopped by this place despite knowing it was here. After a neighbor and her friend were raving about the stir fry, we knew we had to try it too. Everything was amazing! I’ll start with the appetizers: If you’re a fan of the still-closed (as of 7/2024) Shawnee Pho then you’ll love the “Fresh Rolls” here at Saya Thai (comparable to SP’s Spring Rolls). Get extra sauce and load up! Moving on to the main course, I went for the Garlic Stir Fry with a Spicy Level 1 because I love spicy food but not so spicy I can’t taste my food. They have a scale of 5 for theirs, and my neighbor recommended a 2.5 so my husband went for a 3 with his Crying Tiger — which is a 12oz steak. I don’t think I could handle the continuous building of spice from his, but it was absolutely fantastic! Mine was moreso flavoring than spicy, so I’ll be doing at least a 2 next time. Desert: We don’t normally make it a habit, especially when we’re so full we have leftovers, but this place was too amazing not to. We went for the fried bananas and ice cream. I wish there was more chocolate and caramel but only because I don’t like coconut so I skipped the ice cream. The bananas are so gooey but the texture doesn’t get weird. So worth the price! As for the service and the atmosphere, everything was great. The service was perfect and the staff was very kind. I also really loved how the place was set up and decorated. Very simple and great lighting. I’ll definitely be back before I leave for Denver this weekend, and again when I return!

We love Saya Thai. We recently went there for the 1st time and have been back about every other day. So many options and everything is amazing. I like hot but dont think I could handle anything over a 3. So beware, lol.

We just stopped by here for the first time this week on a whim and I was absolutely blown away. The staff is so kind and friendly, the inside is clean and has neat artwork, and the food was phenomenal. I got the Thai spicy pork noodle soup and it was probably the best soup I've ever had in my whole life. The serving was big enough for 3 meals and every time I took a bite I was still shocked how good it was. My husband had the massaman curry with tofu, which is his go-to, and he said this place did it best. The mango sticky rice was so cute and the butterfly pea flower lemonade was magical. We'll be back for sure.

Very attentive and warming! Gave me a motherly love vibe!!!! Offered me water several times over exceeded customer service when they didn’t have to! NOW THE FOOD THOUGH, I would generously say is the best 50 miles around here! Also carry options Gluten Free and it had a fresh taste it! Only add I would say is that I liked my mushrooms sautéed more! 10/10 highly recommended flavor and options excellent!
