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!!!“

“This was a last minute find - Thai food is always a great option, but this place raised the bar tenfold. Atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The service was great, friendly, and fast. The Food. Omg the food was a pleasant surprise, tasteful, great flavor and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend you visit AT LEAST once well worth it. Thai Nakorn is our new favorite Thai spot. Thank you for a great meal.“

“They were so busy when I arrived with two large parties on a Sunday. I came here specifically for the khao soi noodles and they did not disappoint! I got the appetizer platter + the khao soi noodles, 10/10! Next time I’ll ask for Thai spice 😆“

““Absolutely amazing. Fresh flavors, perfect spice, and portions that hit just right. The Pad Thai was 🔥, the curry was rich and smooth, and the service made me feel like family. Easily one of the best Thai spots I’ve tried—100% recommend.“

“I visit this restaurant roughly 2-3 times a year. This trip, I was here for their lunch combo special for $16.95. I chose the house salad, pot stickers, and spicy basil chicken. I also had the Thai fish cake appetizer dish. The food was good, though i think grounded chicken would’ve tasted better than sliced chicken for my spicy basil dish (but that’s my personal opinion). Services was good, and the place is no frills but clean.“

“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!“

“WOW! Their food was SO delicious! Their pad see ew was so chewy and yummy, and the pad Thai was so flavorful too. The yellow curry was amazing too. The inside is super trendy and cute, lots of lights and flowers. The staff was so attentive, and the food came extremely fast. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Amazing, me and friends alone driving in the roads at night. Hungry af went there and had amazing time and yes dinner was amazing. Had a time never to forge“

“I visited Sawaan a couple months ago now and I still remember the fondness I felt after leaving the meal. They are a new modern Thai restaurant with a fresh take on a thai cuisine menu and trendy decor. The staff here are so sweet and considerate.

We ordered the tofu cloud, spicy drunken heaven, and the lemongrass catfish. The tofu cloud came with this thick and sweet peanut sauce. I enjoyed the aromatics in the drunken noodles. Our favorite was definitely the catfish. Make sure to eat everything while it is hot! You can taste the freshness in the catfish.

Food is most important at a restaurant, yet I’d like to highlight how well decorated Sawaan is. They put a lot of effort in the design choices from the ceramics to the light fixtures to the menu.“

“Such great food and people. We were hungry driving around looking for that magical parking spot next to an acceptable eating spot bingo! We found it all at Gai. Unsure of what kinda of cuisine I said take the chance they’ve got a chicken on the sign so it’s actually food. And boy was it good. Delicious. Freshly prepared Asian Thai or Vietnamese food. I got the Original Chicken Rice bowl with side of broccali. My friend got the salad with Tofu. Both great. He sauces are fresh and flavorful. One is quite hot which I love. I recommend it. And as we sat there from 1:30 pm to 2:30, there were multiple to go orders being picked up. I think there were about 5 orders at a time rotating. Fresh Fast Full of Flavor. We hit the jackpot!“

“Discovered this restaurant recently and this was my second visit. The food is delicious and place is clean and pretty full on a Friday evening so that says something. The service is okay.
The music was a tiny bit loud and the type could be reevaluated, but maybe it's just me.“

“On a recent trip to SF I got to experience this Resturant. Cozy intimate and comfortable, we had an awesome meal. Some of the group were Vegan and they were able to accommodate them with ease. But the BEST part was the waiter he was so sweet kind and attentive. I wish I knew his name. I can’t wait to visit my family again to visit this place and oh yeah the prices are great.“

“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!“

“Love the food n the people who works there. ❤️papaya salad, pad thai. Fried pompano and ground chicken with basil Aroy mak mak 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“came in around 6:30pm on a wednesday evening and got seated immediately.

ordered the chicken salad, which is sometimes called larb on the menu in other thai restaurants. flavor was good though i wish it was spicier. none of the entrees or salads come with rice. decent food for the price.“

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

“Great food with excellent, fresh ingredients. Beautiful place and excellent addition to Glen Park!“

“The food are always tasty.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I tried this new Thai-inspired breakfast spot last week with my friend, and I absolutely loved it! The place is super cute with a chic, cozy vibe. The food came out excellent—fresh, flavorful, and such a fun twist on Thai cuisine. Definitely a new favorite for breakfast. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

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

“We had the Chicken Burrito while drinking beers at the Laughing Monk Brewing- both were very delicious! Great flavor in the burrito and a good amount of heat! The owner was so thoughtful and even asked us if we were enjoying our meal when she delivered food to other customers. 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I celebrated my birthday today in this delicious restaurant. I am glad to say that we enjoyed a outstanding evening and the venue was undoubtedly the reason for that successful gathering. The stuff cooperated in a splendid manner, the meals were yummy and my guests were extremely joyful. We shall no dout come back again for more events. Thank you very much.“

“The owner was very nice and the food are all tasty and very good, good portioning for all the orders. For sure will go back feels like being in Thailand already. See ewe TOm kha Papaya salad with salted crab duck friend rice Fried chicken Sticky rice duck curry . Everyting was tasty and satisfying 🤤🤤🤤“

“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!“

“food was great, and delicious“

“Absolutely awesome food!!!! My favourite Thai restaurant on the Sunshine Coast!!!! Delicious food!!!“

“Kan Kiin is a fantastic pick for thoughtfully crafted Thai cuisine. 🇹🇭✨ Their curry dishes are amazing—rich, fragrant, and beautifully balanced with spice and sweetness. 🍛 The appetizers feel Michelin-level, especially the Thai sausage, which is packed with bold, complex flavors and a perfect snap. 🌶️🥢 With its creative dishes and refined execution, Kan Kiin is a must-try for Thai food lovers. 😋🌟“

“Easily our favourite restaurant in San Francisco! We always bring our family and friends here. They have the most delicious, fresh and innovative dishes here. And their service is great! We love the pork chop, Cornish hen, and lamb roti. We love everything on the menu really. Highly recommend!“

“I would say this as one of the best thai food places in the South San Francisco area. I tried tom yum soup, panag curry & iced coffee which all turned out to be delicious.
Especially the quality of panag curry was good.
The dine in space is small and service was pretty fast.“

“Loved the food! We had tea leaf salad, platha with coconut curry and eggplant & tofu. All delicious and we packed for dinner, there was plenty of food to go around. Also had blue lychee and Vietnamese coffee. Staff was very friendly and helpful.“

“The food are very delicious as usual. The restaurant follows COVID safety guidelines, which I am very happy to see. The only problem I want to comment is the delivery pickup people from Doordash, Uber eats and Curbsides. They need to wait behind the wait line in stead of keep coming to the dining table zone, where people are enjoying eating with their friends and family. There is a reason for it, and they really need to follow them. Overall I will strongly recommend you to bring your friends and family to enjoy dining inside at this restaurant or order as takeout. 😉😊👍“

“This place was surprisingly great. New ownership, so I imagine they will probably redo the inside at some point - but the food and service was all really nice. Great Tom Kha & Kua Kai Kai Ob Noodles. We took my mother in law out for her birthday and they even served coconut ice cream with a candle :) will visit again.“

“The food is always tasteful and delicious and the owner is very nice, helpful, and friendly.“

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

“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.“

“Super fast and friendly and super yummy all the food!“

“me and my family had a blast at this space!!! the food was delicious and very very fresh ! they defiantly put and effort for their clients.We order 3 appetizers and 2 main dishes with couple of drinks. Evrything were amazing ! will be back !“

“Food is always good and karge servings.“

“I portions were very big, especially for a lunch, we got the pad see ew and the beef noodle soup and it was pretty good, I liked the noodles a lot. We also got a thai tea ( it was pretty good just a little sweet) and a thai iced coffee, overall the drinks where good they where just a little pricey. Overall liked if“

“The yum beef salad is amazing but it's definitely pretty spicy so be careful“

“Wonderful food, great service, must visit place .

Every time I am in San Francisco, I come to this place no matter what. Their food is not close to Thai but real Thai food according to my experience. That’s the reason I can’t miss since I am a Thai food lover. Other thing is their opening hours, they are always open.
And service is really good, staff is humble and polite.“

“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 (we had the green papaya salad and the pad kee mao, both excellent). Had we known that the pad kee mao didn't come with tofu we would have asked for it, so next time we will, but that's nitpicking. Very fast service, noticeably so. Location great for those in San Mateo or Foster City (and this restaurant is much better in my mind than Sweet Basil, I'm sorry). The pad kee mao dish was huge and we had to take home half of each plate (we got two, next time one will be enough, but we took it home and plan to enjoy later)“
