Saap Ver Damn Good! Thai street food

Ive given Saap Ver a couple tries and they have consistently disappointed with their stingy use of vegetables, over use of oil and over use of jalapeno. I wish there was good Thai in Poterero/Mission Bay - its not this place

Maybe it is just a series of unfortunate events but this was the worst meal I've had in a quite a while. I write this at almost 11p because I'm up and nauseous from the food I ate around 5:30pm.

So I came here because my first option stopped serving at 4 which I was unaware of until I got there. That sucked especially after having to walk out of a movie before they revealed the 4th vengeful killer or maybe 5th? I lost track. IDK&IDC, it was long and horrible. So this place was close by and I decided to wait for it to open. I had some hope for it, the reviews were decent and I like Thai food and this made me long to go back to Thailand where I had some of the best food experiences. This was not that.

The restaurant is decorated cute plays like some house dance music and has a nice vibe so I had some hope for it.

I was the 2nd patron in and the restaurant is a good size but it was just us two and they sat me down one table from him so there was him an empty table, myself and then another table along a bench seat wall. I figure that's easiest for the wait staff so no biggie. They took my order I realize before the other guy who was patiently waiting and I thought that was strange cuz how long had he been there not looking at the menu anymore by the the time they handed me mine. Anyway, I order and then he orders. While I watch some TikTok, another gentleman walks in and they sit him in between me and the 1st guy. I thought, really? This whole big restaurant and you're cramming us in the corner together. Then a gentleman and his girlfriend come in and they sit them to my right. We are the only people in there all in the same corner! Then the very first guy has a friend come in to sit with him and a 3rd person joins the couple and thats when my food arrives. So comfy with 8 people surrounding me in an otherwise empty restaurant. Another woman walked in and I thought to myself, well there's an empty chair across from, might as well fill it.
They sat her at one of the 20 tables in the middle of the restaurant thankfully because we were all out of room in this one corner.
So the food. I ordered a beer, the samosa and the crispy pork with basil from the street food section and they asked if I wanted jasmine rice with that which was extra. The beer was very good, it was the first lager on the list and it was actually the only thing I did enjoy and they got it to me pretty quick. Before the 3rd guy had been seated between myself and No.1.
The samosa were...lackluster. Dry, nothing to dip in and served on a lettuce leaf with some sweet cucumber thing which was okay but didnt really go with the samosa at least I couldn't figure out how. I ended up using it with the crispy pork.
The crispy pork. Maybe I misread the menu or something but it was room temp? There was a piece in the middle that was warm that made me think it should be a hotter dish but it's not what I was expecting. Basically cold pork with a sweet basil sauce. I wanted to send it back but I've never done that or really had a reason too and I've seen the movie Waiting so Im not about to do that. I can make the best of it. I have some rice too right? Luke warm, no steam coming off of anything. Dry rice, better suited to making fried rice and barely warm. I was sad. I should have ordered soup like the 3rd guy did...at least that looked hot. I played with my food a little, ate the cold rice and the parts of the samosa that weren't so dry.
Just wanting to get home, I payed my $60 tab and left a $10 tip because I'm not heartless.
Now I lay in bed, in the dark nauseous and having missed a band I was supposed to go see because I had bought tix weeks ago cuz I'm not so stupid as to risk the night getting any worse by getting sick at a show.

I honestly think this is the tastiest place in the US. Everything we ordered was just mind blowing, I’m not sure I will ever be able to eat in a different place from now on, because the bar is too high now

Ordered takeout, and like other reviews mentioned, the portions are extremely small. The Chinese broccoli in the tom yum noodles was very unfresh—there were flowers on it, which usually only happens when it’s been stored for over a week. The pad Thai had very little actual noodles, with nearly half the box filled with bean sprouts. Overall, there simply wasn’t enough food for the price, and I felt insulted by what I paid.

I’m very confused about this place. There’s literally no flavor. We had to take the pad see ew and add sauce/re cook it

Food quality has gone down while the prices have gone up. A single cup of soup was $16! Chicken was dry. Noodle soup was 80% noodle and barely any soup/chicken/veggies.

This is the spot! The decor will draw you in.. the flavors will have you dreaming of your next visit.
Portions are favorable for sharing family style. Staff is friendly and food comes out quick. Overall a great experience. If you are looking for something authentic and fun, this place is Saap Ver!!

We got take-out. I picked it up myself. My wife ordered some rice, papaya salad and a vegetable curry. We spent $61. The curry was mostly the liquid with very little veggies, the papaya salad (meant to be mildly spicy) was so spicy that we could not eat it (my wife likes spicy food and she could not go beyond a couple of bites). So, overall, I would say a very meager dinner with a huge price tag. We had to supplement with some cheese and crackers we had at home to feel we had enough for dinner.
So, overall, I would not recommend the takeout.

I had been here long ago and this evening , we decided to order takeout. It was very expensive for two vegetarian dishes with tiny portions. The pumpkin curry was all sauce. The papaya salad was one of the hottest dishes I’ve eaten I’ve eaten in recent memory. Normally, papaya salad isn’t so spicy. There was precious little papaya in it, too, which is kind of funny, but we had to throw the whole thing out. Dried chilies were floating all over it. Meanwhile, as a concession to my husband, I had ordered a mild level version (there’s a choice for that dish) of the tofu pumpkin curry. It was still spicy, so clearly they operate on an unusual spice scale. Two dishes with almost no vegetables and lots of sauce, one inedible. Two orders of rice. Paid over 60 dollars. I had good memories of going to this place years ago but will not be returning.

Cheap and cheerful Thai, much closer to the Bangkok street food version than you typically find here. The duck larb is fabulous as is the twice dried fish. Great for a pre-game Warriors meal.

Yummy but veg dishes don't come with much tofu (4-5 pieces each). Spring rolls are especially good. Leans spicy.

Overpriced, tiny portions. Food is good. Service was ok.
