I went here with a friend several wks. ago for lunch on a Sat. The atmosphere is so authentic to Thailand and is just beautiful. The food and the service was awesome. It was quite crowded for a Sat. afternoon and filled up after we arrived. The nice thing is you can adj. how hot (spicy) you want your food.... More

Superb Thai food. I was stationed in Thailand and loved the Thai food. It is different than other Asian food. Thai chefs do not use MSG. The gentlemen who owns this restaurant has personal ties to the owners of the Shawnee Inn. He does an excellent job at his restaurant.

We heard nothing but good reviews on this restaurant, so we gave it a try. The menu is large and takes a while work through. Best way to approach this restaurant is to have three things in mind... 1: do I want veggie, chicken, beef, or seafood....2: what kind of noodles / or no noodles...and 3: how spicy do I... More

We like Thai food so this was a no-brainer. The quality was good, but what made it memorable was the artwork from Thailand. We were fascinated through dinner by the bas-relief scene of a Thai village under the glass in our table. Most enjoyable.

The greatest part of Thai food is the layers of flavor that build in your mouth. I experienced none of these here. I actually had to use the hot pepper sauce on the table (which was not even very spicy) just to give my fish some flavor....sigh. They were also having temperature problems; it was 83 when we were there.... More

We really enjoyed our meal at Saen. It is rather small and is in a tiny strip of offices and a pizza place. It appears to be family owned, super friendly. Food was excellent. The mango cake for desert was really good.

Good location Excellent food Friendly experienced service Cozy dining room Sometimes the line can be long (absolutely worth the wait) but if you are not inclined to wait definitely do the take out... just don't pass Saen by. The food is absolutely authentic Thai always prepared fresh and to order. Green Curry Chicken, Spring Rolls... Yummy! Wish Boon would relocate... More

Get ready for a surprisingly authentic Thai fare, given its obscure location. We did try some off beat Thai dishes to test & they turned out pretty good. The appetizers don;t measure up the the Entrees. Give the Chicken is Pandian leaves a miss. Its a must try if u are around Delaware valley gap.

This place is very good. It is a small place but great ambiance and excellent food. The owner (Whos is Thai) came out and talked with us about the menu and ingredients and thai hot peppers.

This place is a diamond in the rough. Off the beaten path, but worth it. This is one of the top places to eat at the Poconos. Great, authentic food. Every dish is unique and stands of its own. And the specials keep changing. The service is the most personable I've ever experienced. Incredible!
