Exceptional Thai Food in SF
My expectations for Thai food were high, and this restaurant completely met them. The prices were in line with or even competitive for San Francisco. I highly recommend trying the Coconut-red curry braised short ribs; it was truly delicious and blew my mind.

Delicious Family-Style Meal!
We visited during the tail end of happy hour and enjoyed a wonderful family-style dining experience. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including corn fritters, fried brussel sprouts, veggie spring rolls, wok fried rice noodles with Chinese broccoli, honey duck in red curry, and pad see ew. We also had a couple of drinks.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed everything we got! The food was a definite highlight, and the service was excellent (rated 5/5). The atmosphere was also pleasant (rated 4/5) and very quiet.
While there are many vegetarian offerings, there are not many vegan options due to the presence of egg. Parking can be somewhat difficult to find, and there are no gluten-free options marked. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible due to stairs.

Terrible Service, Avoid This Place
My experience at this restaurant was marked by terrible service. I sat for over 20 minutes and no one even brought water. To make matters worse, another table that arrived after us received their water right away.
I do not recommend this place at all. Don't go there.

Cold food, terrible experience
My experience at the restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food arrived an hour and a half after I ordered, and it was cold and tasted like garbage. The service was also rated very poorly.

Excellent Thai Food, Service Could Improve
My experience at this restaurant was marked by top-tier Thai food, offering surprising portions for the price. I particularly recommend the panang short ribs curry from the shared plate. While the food and atmosphere were excellent, the experience would have been perfect with great service as well.

Phenomenal Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely phenomenal. The food was outstanding, and the service was truly exceptional. I enjoyed it so much that I visited San Francisco and ended up dining there two days in a row for lunch.

Yummy Drunken Noodles, Mid Rolls
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. I gave the food a 4-star rating overall, primarily because the rolls were just 'mid'. However, the Drunken noodles were really yummy!
The service was excellent, receiving a perfect 5-star rating, and the atmosphere was rated a 3.

Exceptional Service and Delicious Food
My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. The service was outstanding, and the food was even better. I highly recommend the grilled salmon in cream curry sauce.
I haven't had anything there that I did not love, and I go back regularly to try new things. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent Thai Food and Friendly Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had some really solid Thai food. The papaya salad was perfectly crisp, fresh, and had just the right amount of acidity and spice.
The Pad Thai was excellent, with the perfect amount of sauce and no sogginess. I also loved the vegetable curry. Everything was very tasty.
The staff was friendly and even accommodated our stroller. It's a great restaurant.
