I had a very disappointing experience at Nakorn Thai. I placed an order and politely requested a simple customization, which was acknowledged by our server, Nut. Unfortunately, when the food arrived, my request was completely ignored. What made it worse was that the dish couldn’t be eaten as originally served for my needs.
Mistakes happen, but what really mattered was the lack of accountability afterward. When I brought it up to Nut, there was no apology or effort to fix the issue. For a place that prides itself on hospitality, this was extremely frustrating.
Good food is important, but listening to customers is just as important. Sadly, this experience ensured I won’t be returning.

They are my favorite Thai restaurant. I've tried most of the Thai restaurants in the Richmond but I keep coming back to this one. I love love love their noodle soups and of course everything else is also top notch. Fried chicken is 💣💣💣💥💥💥. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. It's also pretty cool you can see the kitchen.

I'm surprised that I didn't find this place earlier. Food portions are large. Great prices for San Francisco. I'll come back in the future. Limited seating.

Craving satisfied. Got the Tom Yum Gai with vermicelli noodles. Perfect amount of sour with a mild kick. Service was great and the staff is super friendly. There is an open kitchen so everyone greets you as you walk in and thanks you as you leave . We went on a Saturday night for dinner and was able to find street parking very quickly. Will definitely be back.

My go to place for Thai in the city. Small but pleasant seating area. They always have a friendly staff. The old school fried rice with the chicken cutlet on top is still a favorite of mine from when it was part of king of thai. Their pad see you and rad na is pretty yummy. Let them know how hot (spicy) you want it! They will accommodate you.
This place is AMAZING! From the time you walk in the door everyone greets you authentically and that love transfers into the food. I can’t wait to go back. Price, portions, taste, service…. The sweet and sour shrimp flavor was REAL…buss’’n. Muy delicioso… voy a volver pronto.

Nakorn Thai is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming ambience that instantly makes you feel at home – a solid 10/10. The atmosphere is inviting, with thoughtful decor and a calm, cozy vibe. The food quality is exceptional – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we ordered was cooked to perfection, easily earning a 10/10. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put genuine care into every meal.
Cleanliness is also top-notch – the entire restaurant, from the dining area to the restrooms, was spotless. It’s clear the staff take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Another 10/10.
Nakorn Thai SF exceeded all expectations. It’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine served with excellence in every aspect.
Absolutely better than Marnee Thai in Irving and 9th Avenue.

I just love this place. Duck with rice is the best anywhere. I also get pad sew ew. Also spicy chicken w eggplant is delicious. Fair price. Most people order for pick up. Go to place when I am in the area. Wish I lived closer!

Best Thai we've had in a looong time. Big portions, full of flavor and spice! And when I asked for Spicy, they delivered, unlike other places! 5 stars! Giving 2 stars for service, as the server girl never refilled my water, and I had to get up and ask for my bill to pay. Totally ignored after food was delivered. Atmosphere is a bit lame; cramped and noisy, so two stars for that....but food rocks.
Delicious food
