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.

Pretty non-standard thai food that doesnt quite hit. In fact, it kind of misses.

The rice salad was extremely salty. No amount of lettuce or lime would have made it palatable. Thankfully, the server was able to waive it from our order.

Likewise, the pad thai was also on the salty side althoguh the flavor was decent.

The curry was not quite curry. The “sauce” was quite liquid although quite flavorful and the meat surprisingly...
