ThaINery – International Food Court is located on the corner of Bush and Kearny streets and in the heart of FD which is an affordable, authentic Thai and tasty place “lo major de mejores” and the only survivor of this once always packed popular lunch joint [*Lee’s Kitchen, French-Vietnamese Pho, Pao Jao Dumpling & Ramen, Pushkin, Taqueria Estrella and Bibim Soul Bunsik Korean Street Food are all gone together with very short-lived “Katsuya” and “Yucatown.”] My all-year round favorite dish at the ThaiNery is tasty eggplant tofu over rice $15 (used to be $10) which imhv is a delicious, affordable and “safe bet” ingredients wise. The owners are a middle-aged sliding young couple originally from Thailand and several cooks currently and in the past are Yucatecos who have appreciated how to cook authentic Thai through “combat experience” with an attitude to learn, improve and master. 🫡 Support our backbone mom-and-pop shops as we ordinary citizens can make a difference and leave big shot businesses to the wealthy elite & politicians😉 such as the food court which is a silhouette in of The City’s economy in “reality check” (*not wishful thinking of so-called “rebound”). [Sabes que? “Tanto tienes tanto vales.” The Mid-market is literally dying{Emporium/San Francisco Centre is dead. Period.} so is South Market while Chinatown, Union Square/Downtown, North Beach and many other neighborhood commercial strips such as Richmond (Balboa, Clement, Geary) Mission (16th to 30th), Castro, Haight-Ashbury, Sunset (Irving, Judah {9th & 43rd}, Noriega, Taraval), Bernal/Excelsior (Cortland, Persia, Geneva), Noe Valley, Glen Park, Ocean, Parkside, San Bruno, Paul, West Portal, etc. are merely struggling except Japantown and Stonestown are arguably just returning to normal.] ⚠️Under the circumstances, fasten up your seatbelt & save your💰for rainy day! 👍

This place was quick and delicious with generous portions. I can’t say that the atmosphere was super charming, but it adds to the overall experience.

Was craving some Thai basil and came to this place on a whim. It's downstairs in a basement level international food court, how cool! Menu offered chicken Thai basil and I asked if they could make me a tofu one, and they said no problem. Made to order with spice level too. It was out quickly and was soo flavorful! Perfect portion for lunch. It's a good hall, so seating is casual, but that worked for me.

Love this place for a quick, delicious Thai lunch.
The food was delicious. I had the Chinese sausage and fried rice, two egg rolls, and a mini Tom Yum soup. The soup was a bit spicy because it had chili sauce in it. The rice was done to perfection. The egg rolls were crisp and dissolved into the perfect mush when chewing.The dining room is shared by Seoul Soup, Seoul Bunsik, and Katsuya Japanese Premium Cutlet. Yucatown, a Mexican place was out of business. There are public restrooms and adequate table cleaning staff.All around an excellent place to eat.

This place is great. I've been coming here for about 7 years. The food is consistent, fresh, and tasty. The whole office is addicted to the pad Thai from here.

Stumbled across Thainery by chance when I was in the neighborhood and looking for lunch.Thai Basil special that I ordered for lunch was well portioned, nicely spicy (I ordered hot), and made to order.Great place to have in the neighborhood.

This is my favorite Thai food in SF! Actually, I just looked up on Google Map to see what Thai food I can have at a decent price in SF. I walked into the food court, and try Thainery. I ordered pad kee mao for the first time, and it was very delicious!And I ordered lunch specials of Thai basil chicken (with rice and egg rolls) and added a mini tum yum veggie soup for the second time. The basil chicken was very delicious but it's a little sweet ( I can accept the flavor). The soup was sour enough and was not so spicy, so l liked them both.And I definitely will come back again. ?
