how this spot doesn’t have higher reviews idk. every single dish i’ve had from here was a hit. duck curry and tom kha soup are sooo so yummy, and the portions are large! the vibe is late night, they have drinks, and unique menu items. the service is quick and attentive

Everything was twsty except the khao soi, which was very bland. Surprising as that's one of their main dishes. Everything was (sadly) not spicy in the least, and some of the vegetables were very undercooked. Music was terrible. Doubt I'll go back. Staff was very friendly and quick.

I just paid $26.73 for one tofu green curry through Grubhub. Delivery was fast, but that’s the only good part of this experience.
When I opened the bag, I realized there was no rice. I went back on the app to see if I had missed a dropdown or option to add it—nothing. Not a single mention that rice doesn’t come with curry. This is misleading. Thai curry (or in fact, any curry in the world) without rice or some kind of carb to balance the flavors makes no sense, yet the restaurant doesn’t bother to clarify this anywhere.
I called to confirm, and was bluntly told, “No, rice doesn’t come with it.” No apology, no explanation. Just attitude. For the price, the least they could do is provide a complete meal—or at the very least be upfront about it.
Still, I tried to make the best of it. After two bites, I found a bug on the cabbage. At that point, the entire meal went in the trash. Completely unacceptable.
This was supposed to be a simple Sunday treat, and instead it was frustrating, disappointing, and frankly gross. I won’t be ordering here again, and I’d strongly caution others before wasting money the same way.

I was visiting San Francisco for just a few hours and decided to stop into Ben-Thai since it was right around the corner from my hotel—and I’m so glad I did!
From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and seated at the bar. Service was on point—my order was taken right away, my food came out hot and fast, and my water was refilled constantly without me even asking.
I ordered the fried prawns and the drunken noodles with duck (added an egg on top), and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were bold, fresh, and perfectly spiced. I asked for extra heat, and they had a great variety of spices to kick it up to just the right level.
Special shoutout to my server, Yin, who provided outstanding service and made the experience even better.
Overall, this place is a 10/10—great food, fast service, and a welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in San Francisco!

Really bad service, we found a long hair in our dessert. When we notified the restaurant, they were really nasty about it. The pad see ew was incredibly sweet, and the chicken was dry. Horrible food!
I ordered 2 Thai Iced teas, They didn't even fill it up to the top. It tasted watery and didn't have an amazing flavor, wasn't too good or worth almost 5 dollars for 2 small medium drinks. By 10 sips it's all gone and just ice. Should be creamier and more flavorful. I ordered the Salmon Delight, it was 2 inches worth of curry soup in there in a flat bowl. Salmon was not cooked well, it was not soft and did not melt in my mouth. It was a bit overcooked and a bad flaky, nasty!All the vegetables inside, did not at all have any flavor them. I couldn't even taste the curry, all i tasted was nothing but a spicy flavor with little spice seasoning of anything, even the pineapple was all I tasted when I bit into it. It wasn't seasoned good enough for it to taste delicious. There was no basil, so it felt lame eating this. Total SCAM FOR ITS PRICE!!!!! There was barely any curry sauce ✋🏼😭😱😔😞 My God I feel so ripped off right now. I did not have a good dinner meal eating and spending my money on this food. 23 dollars (almost 24) should be a whole bowl full of a good amount of soup. The texture in the salmon plus flavor just did not go with anything at all, so unseasoned, dry, AND IT WAS ONE LITTLE PIECE SLICE OF IT. Another order I made was the House Fried Rice. The chicken was not appetizing or tasty, it tasted like an unseasoned white chicken that felt a little dry and not good when you continue to chew it. It had so much white Onion tossed inside!!😖 Literally the only thing in this meal that paired good inside of it was the rice and egg, I didn't even feel like green onion was in there. It was just not worth almost 16 or 15 dollars, I felt miserable eating this expensive ah food. Not ever ordering here ever again unfortunately. If you feel baited by a food that looks interesting in here, DON'T GO!! Just a total and literal scam, there are way and much more better thai food restaurants to visit out here. This one was just not it at all. God I wish to get a refund so bad, all this food I just consumed makes me feel depressed, mostly with my hardly earned work money. Drinking my thai iced tea right now Tastes watery now😨😓....augh.
Please don't go here, it's seriously just not worth it with the prices that go way over!!😮💨🤧
Overall, friendly people inside, but sorry to say, the truth is, your food is not good.🥲
