I got takeout for a dinner party and the Miang Kham (DIY spinach wraps) were such a delicious hit! They are wondrous salty sweet tangy bites. This may be the only Thai place in SF left to find this amazing appetizer. See photo.

Went on a weekday around 1pm. I was the only customer in the restaurant which made me wonder if it would be good. The service was great and the food came out quickly. Lunch special was under $20 I had yellow curry and green beans & tofu came with a side salad. Lime tea was pretty good too.

My friends and I dropped by for lunch after finishing AP exams. It's pretty accessible by public transport-- took the 29 from Lowell and only had to walk a few blocks. You can take the L, too. There was no wait when I arrived, and we were seated immediately. I ordered Thai Fried Rice with prawns. I guess I spoke too softly; the waiter thought I ordered the pork. They were really nice about it, remaking the dish and packing the incorrect one into a to-go container for me to take home. The rice was well-cooked. The prawns were larger than I expected and weren't rubbery at all. The presentation was nice-- each dish was served with fruit. Overall, nice place. Clean. Decorated well. It was clear that the restaurant put a lot of care into cultivating the atmosphere.

Wow!!
First time ordering takeout, ordered shrimp pad Thai and it was one of the best I have ever had! (And I eat a lot of Thai food)
Shrimp portions were generous (like 6 and pretty large-ish), sauce delicious tofu cooked just right.
Reasonably priced $18 (shrimp included)
I’ll be ordering here many times again!

The owner was in the kitchen, and he was very generous to us--started conversations and we had a great talk. We asked him about how the restaurant started, and the story was such a rollercoaster! You can tell they have been through a lot to get to this point.
We ordered the Pad Thai Prawns and Pad See Ew with Chicken, and we absolutely loved it! The vibe presented the perfect ambience and atmosphere for the food, because they match perfectly, and it just improved the overall experience.

The atmosphere is nice and quaint. We ordered three dishes: chicken noodle soup (pho-like), yellow curry, and Pad Thai, all with chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken in every dish was extremely dry. I’m not sure what cut they use, but switching to thigh meat would help with tenderness.
The Pad Thai was solid, but the long green onions were a bit much. They seem to be there for presentation, but they’re not really edible in that form. It would be better to cook them into the dish or add them chopped as a garnish. The side salad also felt unnecessary.
The chicken noodle soup broth was bland and underwhelming. I usually stick to Pad Thai and pineapple fried rice here, but decided to try other dishes this time and was disappointed. Also, charging over $5 for shrimp feels excessive.

Good food and fast
Food was okay at best. Not much spice or flavor. Most definitely tailored to the taste of the neighborhood… if you know what I mean.

The food is 5/10 for me. The food is a bit bland so I would not recommend this restaurant. They need to improve. And I even saw a fallen hair in ma papaya salad.
