Ridiculously Good Food!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the food. I ordered the crispy rolls for an appetizer and the Khao Soi for my entree. Both dishes were ridiculously good. The spring rolls were incredibly fresh and crunchy, exactly how they should be. The Khao Soi was so creamy and flavorful that I can't stop thinking about it. I had no complaints about the food. The reviewer also noted that the service and atmosphere were excellent, rating both a 5 out of 5. They strongly recommend making a reservation.

Spectacular Thai Food, Highly Recommend!
My experience at this restaurant was spectacular! While there are several Thai options in the area, this one truly stands out. The food quality is exceptional, which explains why it's always so busy. I even brought my parents here to try Thai food for the first time, and they absolutely loved it. I definitely recommend this place!

Great Food, Small Portions
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with great food that was a definite highlight. The service was great, and the ambiance was very tasteful. The only downside was the plates were really small, which meant I had to order a few to feel full if I had a large appetite.

Great Food, Very Noisy Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was really nice, earning a perfect score. However, on a busy day, the restaurant became extremely noisy, making it difficult to have a conversation.

Solid Casual Thai Classics
This is a solid casual Thai restaurant located in Russian Hill, serving up the classics. It will definitely hit the spot if you’re craving Thai food, though it's not particularly memorable. We tried the papaya salad, which was tasty and refreshing, but be aware it's fairly spicy. The chicken pad see ew was a solid dish.

Delicious food, quick service
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive. While it took a few minutes for our order to be taken, the drinks and food arrived very quickly and were delicious. The staff also proactively inquired about any food allergies we might have, which was a thoughtful touch.

Spicy Food, Stale Mangoes, Disappointing Experience
My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The food was super super spicy, and to make matters worse, the mangoes in the mango sticky rice were stale. This place used to be my go-to Thai restaurant, but after this last experience, I will never order from here again.

Delicious Vegan Thai Dishes
My experience at the restaurant was great! I ordered the Khao soi and the eggplant tofu stir fry, both made vegan. Both dishes were fantastic!

Delicious Pad Thai, Great Portions
My experience at the restaurant was centered around a truly delicious Pad Thai. The portion size was generous, offering great value. While it's not a place to linger, the focus is clearly on serving a good plate of Pad Thai.

New Favorite Thai Spot!
My new favorite Thai place! I had the Pad See Ewe with chicken and a Thai iced coffee, and both were so yummy! The ambience is really cute and modern, and the service was amazing and friendly. I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends here!
