33 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 Southern Thailand tasting menu was wonderful and totally authentic as we have spent much time living in this part of the country. The food was plentiful and delicious and beautifully presented. Eden, our server, was lovely and had a total command of the menu and ingredients as well as the extensive bar and wine offerings. Dinner was great and we will certainly be back!“

“I still can’t believe how delicious the coconut soup was (I had it with chicken). It’s a little sour probably cuz of the lime juice. They serve it on a lit hob so it’s always hot. The appetizer was very good too, can’t remember the name; something similar to fried dumplings that come with a peanut sauce on the side. The staff was nice and polite.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The food are always tasty.“

“Best Thai in town! The restaurant is super cute, lovely decoration and they request that you take your shoes off at the entrance. So expect a full experience! The food here is also wonderful, I love their Pad Thai and I have tried a lot of their curries, all delicious! They are also well priced. Super recommend!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“We tried the crab rolls for the first time and they are delish!! We also ordered the chicken larb which was terrific. We'll have to come back for the sticky rice & mango which seems perfect as a dessert. Service was excellent - friendly, courteous, prompt“

“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. 😉😊👍“

“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.“

“Went here for the bottomless brunch ($22 for bottomless per person). The drinks were good and the food was good too (at least 3 vegan options — 10/10 RECOMMEND THE VEGAN FRENH TOAST!). Service was good initially but they became stingy and didnt even fill the carafe at the end. Overall good experience. They auto gratuity 20% and we tipped on top of that but something to keep in mind. The place itself is relatively small and quite busy so definitely recommend getting a reservation“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great food quality and fantastic service.“

“Pyszne jedzenie. Polecam“

“Food is great, there are some unique dishes here, especially the steam eggs in Tom Yum sauce. Fried rice w beef is also very good, and the sour soup with chicken. The vibe is great, a bit hard to get in still, but you can put your name in the Yelp waitlist. Very happy for this addition in West Portal. The kaya toast dessert is so good, but def for sharing!“

“It is an amazing place with great food and good non-alcoholic drinks. I had made a reservation for 10 people through Google that did not register on their system. But the new person, Yui squeezed us in and made it a very pleasant experience. Eventually, we were 12 people and had a blast. Yui made sure we got complementary dessert because of the goof up. I would totally go back and make sure to introduce this place to many of my friends.

NOTE TO OWNER: FIX THE RESERVATION SYSTEM.“

“Everything was super fresh and flavorful and the Tom Kha soup was out of this world! I felt the value for the amount of food and quality of food was decent and I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. This city is limited when it comes to good quality Thai food and Hed Very Thai is a welcome reminder of how good Thai food can be. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
