37 Best Thai Restaurants in San Francisco

“Amazing food at a great price“

“Brilliant flavor combinations and beautiful presentation. The gaeng bumbai aubergine has the the right amount of heat without being overpowering.“

“Delicious Thai food. We were so pleased to find a Thai restaurant where sweet is not a prominent profile in their food. We loved the sour pork, the banana blossom and squid, the eggplant, and the beef jungle curry - they were delicious and had so many little creative touches. The highlight of the meal for me was the smoked young coconut ice cream. So many nostalgic flavors that I have not had outside of Thailand. The Thai smoked candle flavor, the candied water palm fruit, the young rice syrup - just so special. Such a joy to be able to have this in San Francisco. Brought me back to precious moments in Thailand visiting family.“

“the Thai soup with the prawns in it I like mine spicy“

“The best and only one Thai style BBQ place in SF. Feel like you are eating in Thailand, only the meat here is better quality and well marinated. Service is friendly and very helpful.“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“The food was really delicious, flavorful, and perfectly portioned and coursed out for lunch. And for SF it was insanely reasonably priced for 5 courses at $40. Our server Emilio was super friendly and attentive to our table's deitary needs as well. Very kind and sweet!“

“Quiet night for dinner. Ample portions. Asked for medium spice and was pleased that the flavor and spice were perfect. Also got a young coconut which was fun. Fried banana with pistachio ice cream for dessert. Leftovers were packed up beautifully and tasted great the next day for lunch. Sweet servers. Recommend!“

“Walked in on a cold windy summer evening. Was surprised to see so many open tables.

We ordered the Tea Leaf salad, Garlic Noodles, and Silver Glass Noodle Soup.

All the dishes tasted great. The soup surprisingly also came with a couple of delicious quail eggs!

Quantities were generous.

Great meal.“

“Came in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and the whole inside was very empty. We were seated quickly and had our order taken and the food was coming out quickly. Chicken satay is nice, the shrimp in sleeping bag app was also really yummy.I ordered the house noodles and this was a great quantity and came out nice and hot. We sat there for a while just chilling and they cleaned our table and would fill our water. Their food tastes great overall and I would come back here. Parking can be tough though (as it usually is in the mission). Thanks!“

“They were so busy when I arrived with two large parties on a Sunday. I came here specifically for the khao soi noodles and they did not disappoint! I got the appetizer platter + the khao soi noodles, 10/10! Next time I’ll ask for Thai spice 😆“

“Great people Great Food! Ask for the chicken skins.“

“We organized a 30+ people private luncheon party at Baan Yaai with guests of various dietary restrictions. The owners: Kong and Leah, and our contact person Maitai were very helpful and personable. They were essential parts of the party prep team, taking time to know us, the occasion and accommodating to various needs with fast turnaround. Our whole group had such a smooth experience thanks to the Baan Yaai team! Thanks for taking care of us with your kindness and dedication🌹 services are only amazing because great people are running it- and this is the place ☺️“

“We stopped by after a long day of exploring San Francisco and we were ready for a delicious hot meal. I ordered the pad se ew (which has all but become my standard Thai dish when I try a new place). The chicken was tender but the broccoli was a bit tough — I think Chinese broccoli would’ve probably been a more suitable variant. The sweet and savory sauce was pretty typical for pad se ew! The portion size made for a nice leftover meal and the pricing was more than reasonable.“

“I visit this restaurant roughly 2-3 times a year. This trip, I was here for their lunch combo special for $16.95. I chose the house salad, pot stickers, and spicy basil chicken. I also had the Thai fish cake appetizer dish. The food was good, though i think grounded chicken would’ve tasted better than sliced chicken for my spicy basil dish (but that’s my personal opinion). Services was good, and the place is no frills but clean.“

“Delecious food and exceptional service. A must visit in the SAN Francisco area.“

“This palce is a certain of community and history on Bernal Heights. Old friends come in to greetings of hugs and kisses from the staff. New patrons are welcomed in almost equal fashion! The food and vibe is hearty and made with love. No Reservations. Come over, put you name down, but you can enjoy wine or beer from a freat ludt inside or outsides as you wait. Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone else.“

“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.“

“Best Thai food in SF. I highly recommend“

“Discovered this restaurant recently and this was my second visit. The food is delicious and place is clean and pretty full on a Friday evening so that says something. The service is okay.
The music was a tiny bit loud and the type could be reevaluated, but maybe it's just me.“

“Amazing, me and friends alone driving in the roads at night. Hungry af went there and had amazing time and yes dinner was amazing. Had a time never to forge“

“Every time I go Basil Thai, I'm always impressed by each prepared dish. Each entree I have had has its own unique flavor and taste absolutely delicious. You will not be disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Authentic fresh ingredients/spices, excellent customer services and now my fav thai restaurant ! If you haven’t tried it do so soon😋“

“The food are always tasty.“

“Went there for a celebration and ordered their pepper beef and rice and my wife got their barbecue chicken. Great flavor, good sizable portions and very nice service. I absolutely enjoyed my experience there. The only thing l think could make it perfect would be some music. It was too quiet for me. Other than that; great food for an affordable price.“

“Manyaman! It means delicious in our Filipino dialect. Always a happy customer here together with my friends every time we visit this place. No pretense. Always bringing our friends especially when they are visiting San Francisco. That is why their business is still there....good people!“

“I ordered 30 lunch boxes for a training I had at work. Very pleased with the food - everything was very tasty and it was still warm when it arrived. I overheard a coworker say that it was a really nice change from the usual boring sandwiches. Would order from them again.“

“The food are very delicious as usual. The restaurant follows COVID safety guidelines, which I am very happy to see. The only problem I want to comment is the delivery pickup people from Doordash, Uber eats and Curbsides. They need to wait behind the wait line in stead of keep coming to the dining table zone, where people are enjoying eating with their friends and family. There is a reason for it, and they really need to follow them. Overall I will strongly recommend you to bring your friends and family to enjoy dining inside at this restaurant or order as takeout. 😉😊👍“

“Cozy place for breakfast in town. Good foods mixture between American and Thai highly recommend friendly service .“

“Year after year they are keeping up the very same the very high standards. Food didn't change over the course of years, like it did at many other places. It is very tasty and somewhat affordable if there's such thing in the city....“

“In fact, the place is more for takeout. However, there are 3 tables outside where you can stop by and eat there.

The food is very light and tasty. They have a medium version if you think the medium version is too much food.

They also serve chicken broth as a side dish.

It was great for me because I just wanted something light and nutritious.

The girls provided great service since I didn't know all the dishes at the restaurant, so The Marina was a good option.“

“We were attending a Degas exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum when we stumbled across this little gem. It was 5 pm on Friday, and the restaurant did not open for another half hour. We decided to wait, and enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood for a bit. There is a nice park across the street where we were able to watch dogs running and children playing. The street parking was not as difficult as expected. Upon our return, we were seated promptly and the service was very warm and friendly. We told our server that we were vegetarian, and that was not a problem at all for them to accommodate us. Our decisions for dinner, as it was a tough one to decide, were: - Burmese - Pagan Vegetable Curry ($8.25) House special curry made with tomatoes, squash, eggplant, and lentils. - Thai - Vegetarian Tom Yum Soup ($9.95) & - Thai - Tofu Vegetable Combination ($10.95) Sauteed tofu and mixed vegetables with garlic sauce. - Jasmine rice for 2. The food was brought out in a very timely manner, and was delicious! The flavors blended perfectly, and the veggies were fresh and expertly prepared. The dishes were a nice mix of savory, spicy, and sweet, and the presentation was well done. We will definitely be returning when we visit again, and are grateful that there is still a reasonably priced restaurant to eat at in San Francisco. Thank you for a very nice experience!“

“Love this place, food is delish, staff are really helpful :D“

“Good very good tummy delicious“

“I love Champa Garden. They serve authentic Lao (and Thai) food, including delicious papaya salad, larb (both of which you can get Lao or Thai style), and perfect sticky rice. The rice ball dish is also delectable! I'm looking forward to trying other dishes. And their prices are very reasonable!“

“Great food quality and fantastic service.“
