Ordered the steam dumplings and they were just yummy! Also got the pad Thai with chicken and that was great too! We sat outside and had a nice view and of course nice weather. Wining!!! The price was right also. If in the area - stop in.

This place is so yummy and beautiful for a sunset dinner overlooking the water! The young coconut, pad see ew and papaya salad was delicious. Didn't get the mango dessert, but it looks beautiful and delicious. Would definitely go back here for a dinner date!

Definitely a hidden gem of a place! Incredible service and tasty Thai food at reasonable prices away from the hustle and bustle of LA. Pair that with one of the best sunset views in the area and you have a breathtaking experience with your loved one. Will definitely come back again!

Kind of an odd entryway since the kitchen faces the parking lot but the view is amazing. There's nothing obstructing your view of the sunset & its beautiful. We came for a birthday with about 13 people and they were more than accommodating. We practically ordered the entire menu and it was well worth it. Everything was fresh & delicious. Typical Thai restaurant menu so nothing spectacular but tasty nonetheless. You're there for the view. Enjoy your meal & soak it in :)

Food is not comparable to other thai restaurant. Basic taste. The only great is the sunset in PV

Swan Thai RPV is such a peaceful, hidden gem with an amazing beach view. Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, the setting is beautiful and makes for a really relaxing dining experience. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time and enjoy your meal. The Pad Thai was excellent — flavorful and perfectly cooked. The fried rice was just okay, not bad but nothing too memorable. Still, the overall vibe and hospitality more than make up for it. The staff is very kind and welcoming, which adds to the charm. This place has become one of my mom’s favorites, and I can see why! Great for a casual lunch or laid-back dinner with a view. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.

My daughters took me here for Mother’s Day, and I was very grateful because the food was delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was really beautiful and welcoming. Beautiful clean bathrooms, where you can snap some selfie also so If you’re in the area, you should definitely stop by here.

Swan Thai Restaurant is a gem for vegans and vegetarians looking for flavorful Thai cuisine with plenty of plant-based options. I was especially impressed by how accommodating the menu is—most of the rice noodle dishes can easily be veganized by substituting tofu or vegetables and omitting fish sauce. The same flexibility applies to many of their rice dishes and curries, which makes it easy to enjoy a wide variety of traditional Thai flavors without compromising on dietary preferences. The restaurant clearly understands the needs of plant-based diners, and it's refreshing to have so many customizable options in one place. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the view is beautiful perfect for a casual yet scenic meal. The only downside I experienced was the drinks. While they’re presented well and aesthetically pleasing, they just aren’t strong enough—definitely could use a more generous pour. That said, the overall experience was positive, and I’d definitely return. It’s a great spot for anyone who appreciates flavorful food in a laid-back setting with a thoughtful approach to vegan and vegetarian dining.
