“ Had dinner at this Thai restaurant today and really loved the concept each dish represents a signature from different provinces in Thailand. The food was delicious, especially the Thai tea (cha chak), which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The staff were friendly and attentive, service was fast, and the restaurant felt clean and cozy just like being in Thailand. Highly recommended! ???????? ”

“ So glad I found this place. Finally somewhere in SF to get authentic Thai cuisine with homemade spices and curry. Their dishes were not overly oily or sweet, but fragrant. Really enjoyed the pad kee Mao and the spicy eggplant. Mango sticky rice dessert was also a highlight. Already planning for my return visit. ”

“ Foods were good, except the chicken wings was over cooked. Prepared yourself for a least 2 hours meal. They take time to cook like a fine dinning. If you are in hurry for a quick bites. Try something else ”

“ Excellent Thai food, as close to authentic Thai flavors that seems possible outside Thailand. I can think of two Thai restaurants in SF that have that perfect blend of food quality, Thai hospitality, generosity and quirkiness…. And this is one of them. Many others are fine, but sitting in here for a short while and I occasionally feel like I’m literally in Thailand, that beautiful generous simple esthetic combined with damn good food. The vibe and service is genuine and humble. I’ve visited a few times and learned the sauces are made from scratch, the chef is very picky and doesn’t cut corners. They have many thai dishes, teas and desserts that are rarely found at other Thai restaurants. $10 Happy Hour meals and generous portions. Despite the authenticity, service is actually extremely quick and efficient, which is not always the case with homestyle thai places. Mee Krob pork is amazing, but other dishes I’ve tried are also fantastic. Many restaurants come and go in this City, hopefully this one lives many prosperous years and remains conscious and dedicated to serving up this level of quality. ”
