31 Best Thai Restaurants near Pacifica

“What I appreciate most about this cozy local gem is the delicious honest food, staff and ambiance. It’s just an honest to goodness great place that’s been here for decades and I truly respect that, in an era where most restaurants get too fancy with chaotic music and weird fusion menus for the sake of being “cool.” But not here. This husband and wife team deserve all the patronage, they are hardworking and genuinely friendly folks. Upon entering, the wife came out from back, greeted us right away and offered us to pick any table. We ordered some beer, Tom Yum Koong and Pad Thai. Fairly basic items but there was something special about each of them. The beer was ICE cold and also came with a frosty mug. I don’t know why most restaurants/bars don’t offer the frosty mug anymore but it’s a detail that shows an extra level of thoughtfulness for their customers. Next, the Tom Yum Koong soup, which came out quickly. Note: a medium level heat is still fairly tolerable. The highlight of this soup was a surprising slight sweetness, we couldn’t place where from but it was pleasant and overall delicious. Lastly, the well plated shrimp Pad Thai with generous sauce had excellent depth of flavor. We were so impressed with a tasty affordable dinner, which came out to less than $60. I also appreciated the little tamarind candy that came with the bill. Parking is easy as there’s a small lot in front and street parking. There are so many small details to love at Pacifica Thai. We look forward to returning soon!“

“I love pad Thai pad see Ew bbq chicken bbq libs for 5star“

“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.“

“Delicious and straightforward. Highly recommend. If you're used to American portion sizes, you'll think the portions here are a bit small. It's affordable, so just order an extra appetizer!

We loved the tom yum and fried wontons.“

“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! 🇹🇭✨“

“Khao Tiew San Francisco is a standout establishment, serving delicious, simple, and authentic local Thai dishes. They truly impress with creative and tasty twists on old favorites, such as their exceptional Khao Soi.
The baseline heat level is mild, which is perfect for most palates, but you can easily customize your spice level by adding the hot powder conveniently available on the table. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent food served by volunteers who are part of this wonderful monastery. This is a nonprofit organization. You can also go in and meditate. The food is delicious. The volunteers are kind and helpful. They accept Venmo or cash donations for the food. Outdoor seating available. Extensive menu. Pork and Thai coffee was delicious!!!“

“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!“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“No wait and lots of open tables. We came around 6:00pm on a Monday. We have been coming here since the original location was on Monterey Blvd. All their food is delicious and not Thai spicy unless you want that burn and I am sure they can help you with that.

They start you off with a basket of fried shrimp chips and a tamarind dipping sauce. Plus water for everyone.

Their Thai ice tea is always on point. Pad Se-ew with Chicken has been my go to dish. Double cooked Duck. 😋 Their whole menu has wonderful options.“

“They share a storefront with Rooster&Rice. The Rainbow Beef with Garlic Noodles was 10/10. (Only got a photo after devouring most of it.) Seasoned well and beef was very tender. Mango sticky rice was also delicious. Staff was super friendly and it was a very welcoming atmosphere. Give them a taste!“

“Very cozy and friendly customer service. The food is amazing and strongly recommended.“

“This is the best Thai restaurant that San Francisco has to offer and it is truly one of a kind: prices are exceptionally reasonable, the layout is clean and Zen, and the parking is abundant. From years of developing a strong palate for local Asian cuisine, Ocean Thai has delivered beyond my demanding expectations. I ordered the Thom Ka soup, Prawns Chao Lay, Larb Salad, and the Miang Kham spinach wraps. All of these were delightfully fresh and delicious. I will return in short time to once again explore its well-assorted menu.“

“Great experience at Saap Thai Kitchen!
The portions are huge, the food is very tasty, and everything was clean and well maintained. The service was pleasant, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to others.“

“Came in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and the whole inside was very empty. We were seated quickly and had our order taken and the food was coming out quickly. Chicken satay is nice, the shrimp in sleeping bag app was also really yummy.I ordered the house noodles and this was a great quantity and came out nice and hot. We sat there for a while just chilling and they cleaned our table and would fill our water. Their food tastes great overall and I would come back here. Parking can be tough though (as it usually is in the mission). Thanks!“

“Good food!!! Tucked in a corner at Westlake Daly City but dont let the location fool you. This place is always packed with people. Come hungry if you plan to go!!!“

“I love Champa Garden. They serve authentic Lao (and Thai) food, including delicious papaya salad, larb (both of which you can get Lao or Thai style), and perfect sticky rice. The rice ball dish is also delectable! I'm looking forward to trying other dishes. And their prices are very reasonable!“
