Great Food and Vibes, Worth Visiting Twice!
My experience at this restaurant was so positive that I ended up visiting 2 days in a row. I enjoyed dine-in on the first day and opted for to-go the next. The Pad Gra Pow with chicken was my absolute favorite dish. The service was also incredibly comfortable and great.

Delicious Vegan Thai Options!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for vegan diners. I absolutely loved the noodle, tofu, Thai chili dish (though I can't recall the exact name). It was a super tasty vegan option. The restaurant offers an impressive 2 pages of vegetarian options that can easily be made vegan. I would absolutely go back. Additionally, the Thai tea with coconut milk was excellent too.

Disappointing Tom Yum and Cleanliness Issues
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered the Tom Yum with shrimp, but it arrived cold and contained a lot of mushrooms. The taste was not good. I was traveling from Orlando, FL, and have had amazing experiences at other Thai restaurants like Pop Thai, Thai Place, and THAI DELICIOUS. Unfortunately, this place was full of flies and not clean. To make matters worse, the server never asked how the food was.

Excellent Thai Food, Don't Miss Out!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! Don't be put off by the nondescript frontage; it looked dark and closed, but I'm glad we checked it out and went in. We had the crispy pumpkin appetizer, Pad See Ew, and Pad Thai. Everything was delicious. We would definitely return. It is small, so if there is no seating, get take out. You don't want to miss out.

Disappointing Takeout Experience at Thonglor
I was looking forward to getting takeout from Thonglor, especially after The Infatuation said, “You’ll second-guess every pad Thai you’ve ever had. ” Unfortunately, my experience didn’t match the hype. The pad Thai noodles were on the dry side and lacked depth of flavor. Additionally, the tom kha tasted a bit thin and watery. My overall food experience was a 2 out of 5.

Delicious Food, Must-Try Roti!
My experience at this restaurant was great! I highly recommend sticking to the spice levels as they are legit. Don't miss out on getting a side of roti; it's so good! I will definitely be back every time I'm in SF.

Delicious Food, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was so good that I visited twice during my week in San Francisco! The food is both simple and delicious, with generous portions that offer great value for the affordable prices. The service was quick, efficient, and helpful. I particularly loved the yellow curry, and everything else we tried was also enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Worth the Wait for Hole-in-the-Wall Gem
I highly recommend you GET THE PADKEEMAO! There was a long line to get into this place, but it was absolutely worth waiting every second. The serving size is pretty big, and getting 3 dishes for 3 people was actually a lot of food. The curries were also great. It's the true definition of a hole in the wall, but it’s a gem. The mango sticky rice was interesting.

Hidden Gem with Incredible Food!
I absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The food was incredible, with both the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew being delicious and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is tiny but super cute, and the service was amazing. It's definitely one of those hidden gems in San Francisco that you'll want to come back to.

Delicious Food, Great Value!
I'm not sure why this place isn't rated higher, perhaps a 4. 8 or 4. 9. It's an utterly delicious find! While it's nothing fancy, they serve cold drinks with loads of ice and the food is utterly delicious and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back, and you should go!
