The food here is amazingly tasty! You won't find your classic Thai dishes here, but what you will find is amazing variations and creative dishes that go above and beyond in the taste department. The food was delicious and affordable and there was good service and a nice casual ambiance. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

Great outdoor dining area. Excellent food. We’ve been a few times and ordered something different each time. You can’t go wrong.

Too bad SF police don’t control the loud illegal motorcycle side shows on Valencia.

I LOVED this restaurant! The staff are so friendly and helped give us great food recommendations. The food was also 10/10 -- I've never had this kind of Thai food before, it was so different and so delicious.
