“I had such an amazing dining experience here! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and you can really tell that the restaurant puts a lot of care into both the quality of the ingredients and the presentation.

The Strawberry Salad was an unexpected highlight. It was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. The sweet and refreshing dish that was flavorful.

The Crab Fat Fried Rice was one of the highlights of the meal. It was fragrant, rich, and packed with umami flavor. They served with seafood sauce on the side that make the dish more anthentic flavor.

The homemade Shumai was juicy, tender, and tasted freshly made. Every bite was packed with flavor and had a delicate texture. The sauce is exactly Thai flavor taste.

One dish that completely exceeded my expectations was the Fried Tofu. It was unbelievably crispy on the outside while remaining soft and silky on the inside. It’s easily one of the crispiest fried tofu dishes I’ve ever had.

The service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Combined with the cozy atmosphere and exceptional food, this restaurant truly delivered an unforgettable dining experience.

If you’re looking for authentic Thai cuisine made with fresh ingredients and incredible flavors, this place is a must-visit. Every dish we tried was outstanding, and I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommended!“

“Ordered the golden massaman curry and the dark soy dreams (pad see ew)! Loved the golden massaman curry- chicken was super trendy and the soup was super creamy and flavorful, paired super well with rice it was gone in seconds! Just taking one star off because the overall prices are higher than other Thai places“

“Super clean. Super tasty. I ordered the green curry and it was amazing!! It has eggplant and green beans along with a protein. Everything was cooked just right. And the flavor was sooo good. I appreciated that the chef brought out the food. Highly recommend!!“

“Great food quality and fantastic service.“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Simply Quality! Whenever I see Organic Tofu that's my dish as it's clean and tastes perfect. Of course it also has to be cooked right which the Chef did for sure. I had the green curry with the kombucha pumpkin, two different types of cauliflower, and zucchini that actually had flavor. The owners both were lovely and came to check on me to make sure I was satisfied. Well I am and can't wait to return and try some fried rice or stir fry. Thank You!“

“This palce is a certain of community and history on Bernal Heights. Old friends come in to greetings of hugs and kisses from the staff. New patrons are welcomed in almost equal fashion! The food and vibe is hearty and made with love. No Reservations. Come over, put you name down, but you can enjoy wine or beer from a freat ludt inside or outsides as you wait. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone else.“

“We had a nice dinner here with friends. I got the Crispy Pork and Chicken Soup set -- the pork was fantastic. It also came with some tasty Brussels sprouts, green papaya salad, 3 kinds of rice, and a sticky rice dessert. Overall, an excellent combo. However, my wife was less satisfied with her Veggie set, noting that the mains tasted far too sweet. Service was warm and friendly, and the vibe of the place is modern and casual. Parking is easy, since it's right next to the Sutter/Stockton Garage.“

“Stumbled upon this place randomly and the food didn’t disappoint. It wasn’t busy at all on Friday evening so we were able to easily walk in. Great Thai food with plenty of options as a vegetarian. The green curry was one of the best I had and they made it spicy yet super flavorful. Tom yum soup was great too. The service was very fast and friendly.“

“The food was soo delicious!! 10/10 recommend the Yellow Curry with Chicken. Gorgeous ambiance and amazing service. The Thai tea was also delicious. My first time here and would definitely recommend this place. Great price too! The Curry comes with rice also!“

“Most authentic Thai food in SF!

I particularly love their pad see ew. The noodles are fresh and chewy, and not that greasy.

The store is located in tenderloin, and I still love going there for the desserts which aren’t available on delivery apps. Thank you!“

“Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.“

“Best Thai food in SF. I highly recommend“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Ordered via Doordash 2nite..
#1. They will ' Answer the Telephone to Answer Questions and Address Customer Concerns...unlike some joints nearby !!!!
#2. The lady who answered that their Chicken & Lamb Dishes are ' HALAL '... No Idea about Beef...
Menu does have Pork listed on it - s..o...o..o. U decide !!!!
Tom Yum Gai Soup was Good Tasting as was Thai Iced Tea !!!!!!“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“Delicious food, great service, fun atmosphere!“

“I rarely eat in here, but when I do I enjoy the atmosphere and service. Much more frequently, I do take out, and it is always great. The ingredients taste fresh and perfectly seasoned, and it is always on time. HB is probably my favorite spot for take out in Oakland.“

“Cool place (love the decor/style), nice staff & tasty food. Some dishes you will not find in the average Thai restaurant in the Bay Area. For example, the chef or owner is from northern Thailand so the menu features a top Northern Thai dish - Kao Soi noodle soup (beef or chicken), or the all time fav 'street food' grilled pork skewers (moo ping) served with sticky rice (ck out the menu on their website). I had the Pad Kemao Chicken (menu says beef but they are happy to make dishes with what you like & even have Beyond Meat dishes on the menu - cool to see stir fried basil with Beyond Meat (Krapao Beyond Neur)). The taste of my wok fried pad kemao was delicious, same or better than any I've had on prior trips to Bangkok. Glad to have discovered a solid Thai restaurant that doesn't have watered down flavors. Good to see they have a lot of gluten free and vegan choices on the menu too. Definitely will be back, keep up the good work!“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“boat noodle soup rice ball salad larb fish is my favorite 1|2 lemongrass chicken papaya salad sticky rice“

“Great food and service, would recommend, love it 😋“

“Really cute little place which actually reminded me of being back in Bangkok! Delicious food, especially their soup which opens the lunch special. Super nice people running the place and serving here and very welcoming to my small dog. I will return!“

“The most thoughtful Thai dishes I have ever had! Even for a Thai person like me, sometimes I forget what’s it supposed to be like having Thai food since I have been living in the US for so long, this place brought me back home to the real deal. It is very different from other Thai place for a good reason.“

“Always the best food and best service. May has done a fantastically amazing job of improving an already fantastic offering. Thank you may for the wonderful dining experiences“

“I've been here about five times now, and all the food has been great in terms of both quality and size, whether dining in or taking out. Very small for dining in tho, probably seating no more than 10 max, and the prices on the bottled Thai tea & coffee are not competitive with nearby boba shops (with admittedly worse service and worse food or no food at all).“

“Great food and service. My earring came off during dinner and I didn’t discover that it was missing until I got home. I called the next day and they went out of their way to find my favorite Christmas earring.“

“Cozy place for breakfast in town. Good foods mixture between American and Thai highly recommend friendly service .“

“Peacock pansy has sumptuous Asian fusion.

We had the banhmi and the chicken and waffle. The banhmi was ok. I preferred the chicken and waffle which was quite nice. For great Asian brunch my go-to place is kan kin in daily city.

Service was friendly. The place has a nice ambience and good vibes.

Will probably be back.“

“Had to take my daughter to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and we were looking for a good place to have lunch before her appointment. My daughter spotted this restaurant and we are absolutely in love. Clean, comfortable eating area inside and outside. Variety on the menu and best Thai food we’ve eaten in a long time. Amazing flavors and portions are just right. And let’s not forget the Thai tea, best everrr! Seriously highly recommend for lunch and dinner if you are in the Oakland area.“

“We often bring out-of-towners here because it's hard to find Laotian food outside of the Bay and Vientian Cafe always delivers. The menu is super extensive and very reasonably priced, so you can try a bunch of new things each time. We always get the nam kao and the lao sausage (which you can also take home frozen). Angel wings are also super addictive.

Food also travels well if you're looking for takeout. One of our favorite spots in the east bay!“

“good food and great service“

“Ate here 4 times. 1: salmon w fish, 2nd: branzino w lime , 3: seabass eggplant and 4th: sweet sour fried pompano. all of them were excellent. thai fish cakes and mushroom dumpling for appetizers were great . My wife had Tom yum soup and coconut pad Thai : both of which she loved . our service was great as well. we live in San jose but we're up in Berkeley for about a few weeks and this Thai restaurant is better than any in South Bay. highly recommended!“

“After visiting this place twice, it goes straight to top 2 on my favorite restaurants!

Every single dish was just an extraordinary explosion of taste in your mouth 🤤🤤🤤!

The service, just wow! The waitress was literally on top of everything. Even whit the room well packed of people. 👏

Something else I love of this place is the presentation of the dishes, it’s so clean, delicate and simple but effective! ❤️❤️“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“

“Great place with very delicious food.“

“5 stars for food, but giving 4 because historically their phone almost never rings properly, and their hostess told me last call was 9:45pm when I called earlier today but they actually close at 9 🤦🏻‍♀️ Their website also doesn’t work properly… so yeah amazing food but management could really use some work.

Favorites:
- Larp
- Pumpkin curry
- Pad ped pla cook (catfish)
- Rice ball salad

Everything, especially the vegetables, is literally cooked to perfection.“

“My family loves Bangkok Thai. The yellow pumpkin curry is delicious, as are the salads, pad Thai, pad see-ew, fried rice, spring rolls, and fried banana with coconut ice cream for dessert. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to gather with friends. We will be back soon. 💜❤️💚“

“Authentic fresh ingredients/spices, excellent customer services and now my fav thai restaurant ! If you haven’t tried it do so soon😋“

“I’ve eaten here before and I’ve always like their food. I love all the types of curry they serve with the protein of choice. But recently I feel like their red curry with prawns has been a little off. The taste is there but I feel like their red curry sauce is a bit watery looking. And I ordered it with shrimp. They’re very skimpy on the protein. There was maybe three pieces of shrimp.

Service is ok. The staff are friendly enough and I can’t complain. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. They have a walk with a great mural and good for photography.

I really love their fried tofu thought. Perfectly fried and so crispy and tasty.
The price is standard, not cheap but not expensive.“

“​This was my second time dining here, and it completely solidified this restaurant as one of my absolute favorites. I would easily eat here every single week if I lived closer!
​During this visit, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with the owner. She is incredibly smart, passionate, and empathetic, and it truly shows in every aspect of the restaurant. I love the way she pours her love for her hometown into the menu and remains unapologetically authentic to her roots.
​That dedication translates perfectly into the food—every dish feels personal, deeply flavorful, and genuinely authentic. It is rare to find a place that hits the perfect balance of amazing hospitality and outstanding, uncompromising regional flavors.
​If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. It is a true gem!“

“I travel around the world for work and this Thai restaurant is quite possibly amongst the best I’ve tried. I will return every time I’m in San Francisco. Also, it’s a few blocks out of the way and was not busy on a Saturday at 6pm. Take advantage of excellent food without a wait before everyone finds it!“
