Very grateful for all the vegan options! Such a great addition to the Aspen food scene! The dim sum and salt+pepper tofu were particularly outstanding! We will be back.

Soup wasn’t edible. Entree took 90 minutes. Price point is wild for type of Thai food, even in Aspen. Service was fine. One of the worst meals we’ve ever had. How does it have 4.5 stars on yelp?!

Sway is one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever tried. Everything I’ve tried has been outstanding. The Tom Ka Gai soup is amazing and one of my favorite treats. The Veggie Fried Rice, Chicken Pad Thai, and Yams are all delicious as well. The portions are huge and very shareable. Honestly, the Pad Thai could feed at least three people - so, by Aspen standards, everything is economical, as well. To top it off, all the staff is extremely attentive and Daniel, the bartender, is the best. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Aspen restaurants. Highly recommended.

My first time dining at Sway. It was a lovely evening, so refreshing to have a calm, quiet place to connect with friends. The pad thai with chicken was great, we also shared the beef short rib with lettuce cups. Both were excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be back.

I must restaurant to visit, everything we ordered was so good, our son hates eggplant, this ended up being his favourite dish. Our waiter gave us suggestions and they didn't disappoint. If we lived in Aspen this would be our regular.

The only complaint is the wine pours were tiny. Even for Aspen. If you are going to charge $20 for a glass of wine that comes from a bottle that costs $22 give a reasonable pour.

Great ambience and service. Unfortunately the food did not meet expectations. We are expecting Thai/Thai fusion but found the food bland with little resembling Thai cuisine except for the name of the dish. We asked for fresh chillies to add to the food which improved it somewhat but that wonderful balance of sweet/sour/salty/spicy was absent.
