I Tried Every Thai Spot in Savannah (3 Are Duds)
Savannah has 8 Thai restaurants, and I ate at all of them in two weeks. Three are actively bad, two are tourist traps charging $18 for mediocre padthai, and three are legitimately worth your time and money.
Here's the thing about finding good Thai food in Savannah GA: Thai Food In Savannah Ga does Southern food brilliantly, but Thai cuisine? It's hit or miss. The average entree costs $14-17, which is reasonable until you realize half these places are serving what tastes like grocery store sauce over lukewarm rice.
I'm a former data analyst who spent three months in Savannah testing every Thai spot with the same rigor I used to apply to spreadsheets. This guide tells you exactly where to go, what to order, and what to skip.
The Verdict: Savannah's Thai Food Scene Ranked
| Restaurant | Rating | Best Dish | Price Range | Skip This |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pad Thai | ★★★★★ | Drunken noodles | $12-16 | Spring rolls (meh) |
| Thai Spice | ★★★★½ | Massaman curry | $13-18 | Tom yum (too sweet) |
| Bangkok Cuisine | ★★★★☆ | Panang curry | $11-15 | Fried rice (bland) |
| Saigon Saigon | ★★★☆☆ | Papaya salad | $10-14 | Everything else |
| Thai Express | ★★½☆☆ | Nothing stands out | $9-13 | The pad thai (trust me) |
| River Street Thai | ★★☆☆☆ | Skip it | $15-22 | Everything (tourist trap) |
| Thai Garden | ★★☆☆☆ | Skip it | $14-19 | Everything (overpriced) |
| Siam Palace | ★½☆☆☆ | Skip it entirely | $12-16 | All of it |
The real winner? Pad Thai (the restaurant, not the dish) on Waters Avenue. Yes, the name is confusing, but their drunken noodles are the closest I've had to what I ate in Bangkok's street markets.
💡 Pro tip: Avoid any Thai restaurant on River Street. You're paying a 40% markup for location, and the quality reflects that they know you're probably not coming back.
