Vanida Thai Kitchen - Reviews

I've been a customer here for years, and it's truly the best Thai food I've had in the Outer Sunset. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and arrives hot. I highly recommend the Garlic Pork; the marinade is perfect, and the accompanying sauce is absolutely delish. The noodles are a classic for a reason, with both the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai being packed with flavor. Every dish here is simply perfect. Beyond the amazing food, the service is great. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant has a wonderfully cozy and casual atmosphere. It's the ideal spot to bring family and friends. This diamond in the rough is a must-try!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The server was incredibly attentive, ensuring everything was to my liking. The food was exceptionally fresh and bursting with flavor. I'm already looking forward to coming here again.

My experience was extremely negative due to the service I received over the phone. I called to cancel an order I had placed just 20 seconds prior. The man who answered the phone stated, “it’s no good” and then hung up on me. When I attempted to call back, he refused to answer.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I absolutely loved their favorite pad Thai. The service was consistently prompt and friendly. I also appreciated that the place is spacious, not crammed at all.

I got takeout for a dinner party and the Miang Kham (DIY spinach wraps) were such a delicious hit! They are wondrous salty sweet tangy bites. This may be the only Thai place in SF left to find this amazing appetizer. See photo.

I visited on a weekday around 1 PM and was the only customer, which initially made me question the quality. However, the service was great and the food arrived quickly. The lunch special was under $20. I enjoyed the yellow curry and green beans & tofu, which came with a side salad. The lime tea was also pretty good.

My friends and I visited for lunch after finishing AP exams. The restaurant is pretty accessible by public transport, with options like the 29 bus from Lowell or the L train, requiring only a short walk. Upon arrival, there was no wait, and we were seated immediately. I ordered the Thai Fried Rice with prawns. Although there was a slight mix-up where the waiter initially thought I ordered pork, they were very accommodating, remaking the dish and kindly packing the incorrect one to-go. The rice was well-cooked, and the prawns were impressively large and not rubbery. The presentation was nice, with each dish served with fruit. Overall, it's a nice place that is clean and well-decorated, clearly showing the restaurant's care in cultivating the atmosphere.

Wow! This was my first time ordering takeout, and I ordered the shrimp pad Thai. It was one of the best I have ever had, and I eat a lot of Thai food! The shrimp portions were generous, with about 6 pretty large-ish shrimp. The sauce was delicious, and the tofu was cooked just right. It was reasonably priced at $18, including the shrimp. I’ll definitely be ordering here many times again!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, largely thanks to the generous owner who was actively involved in the kitchen. He initiated conversations, and we had a great talk about the restaurant's rollercoaster journey to its current point. We ordered the Pad Thai Prawns and Pad See Ew with Chicken, and we absolutely loved it! The vibe provided the perfect ambience and atmosphere that matched perfectly with the food, significantly improving the overall experience.

My experience at this restaurant was truly amazing. The food was incredible, and the environment was clean and modern. The service was great, making it one of the best experiences I've had. I highly recommend bringing family and friends here.
