50 Best Thai Restaurants near South San Francisco

“food was great, and delicious“

“Super fast and friendly and super yummy all the food!“

“I've been here a couple times, and enjoyed both meals here. The papaya salad, pad Thai, and pad Kee mao have been consistently delicious. The larb was also good, but sooo spicy we almost died (I'd still get it again though).

It looks like the negative reviews have been primarily for delivery, but I'll go ahead and say that the dine-in experience has been quite good. The portions are pretty big as well.“

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

“Amazing food at a great price“

“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.“

“Curry puffs were good, crisp and very nice sauce. Thai iced tea on the less sweet side with very cute bear ice on top. Pad thai had some slightly undercooked noodles, not enough peanuts for texture, and what I think was tofu that was textured extremely dry.“

“Went to Hed 11 for a date night and it was such a memorable experience. The service was great! The servers were extremely knowledgeable in each of the dishes they presented, and really added to the experience. To top it all off, the dishes were incredible. So much flavor and care put into each dish that I’m still thinking about some of the dishes months later! Save this spot for a special occasion or to support a Japantown hotspot!“

“I enjoyed the grilled salmon simple and well done no flakes or dryness. Chicken satay was ok but hard and chewy .. Tom kha soup with chicken with 0 chilli was easy on the GI and still flavorful. Thanks for not going over the top with spices“

“The food is sooooooo delicious. We tried the Duck's Curry, Yellow Curry, Pineapple Chicken fried rice, Chicken fried rice, Salmon rolls, and Chicken Potstickers. All was amazing! Definitely order your curry with rice. Server was sweet and friendly.“

“Prik Hom was incredible, probably the best meal I've ever had. There was a large selection of vegetarian dishes and every bite was packed with flavor. The aromatic curry was one of the best curries I've ever had, with so much more depth than the typical Thai curries you find everywhere else. The smoked ice cream brought back a lot of nostalgia. Will definitely be coming back.“

“My wife was craving Thai food during our recent trip to the bay area so we decided to give this place a shot. As with most Thai restaurants in the US, I really wasn't expecting much but the dishes were actually quite good. My wife said the taste is similar to Bangok restaurants in upscale malls, which trust me isn't a bad thing. Wishing these guys continued success!“

“Ordered the golden massaman curry and the dark soy dreams (pad see ew)! Loved the golden massaman curry- chicken was super trendy and the soup was super creamy and flavorful, paired super well with rice it was gone in seconds! Just taking one star off because the overall prices are higher than other Thai places“

“The fried rice was perfectly seasoned with that amazing, authentic wok-flavor, and the Tom Kha soup was incredible—rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of lemongrass and tang. We also tried the sukiyaki, which was packed with fresh ingredients and had a deeply comforting taste.
​To top off the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night without ever being intrusive.“

“We had a nice dinner here with friends. I got the Crispy Pork and Chicken Soup set -- the pork was fantastic. It also came with some tasty Brussels sprouts, green papaya salad, 3 kinds of rice, and a sticky rice dessert. Overall, an excellent combo. However, my wife was less satisfied with her Veggie set, noting that the mains tasted far too sweet. Service was warm and friendly, and the vibe of the place is modern and casual. Parking is easy, since it's right next to the Sutter/Stockton Garage.“

“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.“

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

“All the food is delicious and the place is nice and cozy. I would highly recommend for anyone willing to try Thai food in the area.

There was this ‘chili dipped in oil‘ which was included as a side along with hot sauce. We liked it so much that we ordered just the chili sauce. They were planning to sell this as a packaged food in near future and we happened to be the first customers for that item.“

“Pyszne jedzenie. Polecam“

“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!“

“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“

“Most authentic Thai food in SF!

I particularly love their pad see ew. The noodles are fresh and chewy, and not that greasy.

The store is located in tenderloin, and I still love going there for the desserts which aren’t available on delivery apps. Thank you!“

“Stumbled upon this place randomly and the food didn’t disappoint. It wasn’t busy at all on Friday evening so we were able to easily walk in. Great Thai food with plenty of options as a vegetarian. The green curry was one of the best I had and they made it spicy yet super flavorful. Tom yum soup was great too. The service was very fast and friendly.“

“Best Thai food in SF. I highly recommend“

“Best Thai restaurant in San Francisco, Ca. Food was delicious!“

“Nothing flashy, just delicious Thai food with good vibe. We really like the pork shoulder (pork jowl). It’s smokey and the sauce is flavorful. Congee is hot and filling. The skillset dish reminds me of a Vietnamese dish that I ate all the time.

We also like that the food is decently priced, and the staff is really friendly. Not sure if our waiter is the owner, but he smiles all the time, very friendly, and even helps us store our cake in their fridge so it will not melt when we enjoy their delicious food. I will come back for sure!“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

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

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

“On a recent trip to SF I got to experience this Resturant. Cozy intimate and comfortable, we had an awesome meal. Some of the group were Vegan and they were able to accommodate them with ease. But the BEST part was the waiter he was so sweet kind and attentive. I wish I knew his name. I can’t wait to visit my family again to visit this place and oh yeah the prices are great.“

“Peacock pansy has sumptuous Asian fusion.

We had the banhmi and the chicken and waffle. The banhmi was ok. I preferred the chicken and waffle which was quite nice. For great Asian brunch my go-to place is kan kin in daily city.

Service was friendly. The place has a nice ambience and good vibes.

Will probably be back.“

“Great place with very delicious food.“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“

“Such great food and people. We were hungry driving around looking for that magical parking spot next to an acceptable eating spot bingo! We found it all at Gai. Unsure of what kinda of cuisine I said take the chance they’ve got a chicken on the sign so it’s actually food. And boy was it good. Delicious. Freshly prepared Asian Thai or Vietnamese food. I got the Original Chicken Rice bowl with side of broccali. My friend got the salad with Tofu. Both great. He sauces are fresh and flavorful. One is quite hot which I love. I recommend it. And as we sat there from 1:30 pm to 2:30, there were multiple to go orders being picked up. I think there were about 5 orders at a time rotating. Fresh Fast Full of Flavor. We hit the jackpot!“

“Had the tea tree salad, coconut paratha, and chicken garlic noodles. Everything was delicious. This place is much better than some of the more well known Burmese restaurants in SF. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back!“

“I’ve eaten here before and I’ve always like their food. I love all the types of curry they serve with the protein of choice. But recently I feel like their red curry with prawns has been a little off. The taste is there but I feel like their red curry sauce is a bit watery looking. And I ordered it with shrimp. They’re very skimpy on the protein. There was maybe three pieces of shrimp.

Service is ok. The staff are friendly enough and I can’t complain. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful. They have a walk with a great mural and good for photography.

I really love their fried tofu thought. Perfectly fried and so crispy and tasty.
The price is standard, not cheap but not expensive.“

“A vibrant Thai street‑food style restaurant with bold, authentic flavors that make every meal feel like a trip to Bangkok. Guests enjoy classics like savory pad Thai, rich green curry, crispy chicken over fried rice, and northern Thai khao soi with just the right balance of spice and texture. Portions are generous and well seasoned, and the casual interior has cozy, colorful decor with a relaxed, friendly vibe that suits both casual dinners and fun outings
Management and staff are generally described as friendly and attentive, even during busy service times, making sure guests are seated efficiently and that table needs are met throughout the meal.“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“I travel around the world for work and this Thai restaurant is quite possibly amongst the best I’ve tried. I will return every time I’m in San Francisco. Also, it’s a few blocks out of the way and was not busy on a Saturday at 6pm. Take advantage of excellent food without a wait before everyone finds it!“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Top notch. I’d highly recommend the sizzling platters. The Sizzling Beef Bomb was excellent. Fresh with very tender beef. The Sizzling Salmon with curry sauce was very nicely done as well. 👍 all round“

“Good! I love Laotian food and this is definitely well priced. I don’t have pictures but really loved their mango sticky rice too. We asked for one dish to be spicy and I wish we asked for all of them to be, but the none spicy eaters in the group couldn’t handle our one spicy dish.“

“Had such a great time at Regent Thai in San Francisco with a group of girlfriends. It was one of those meals where everything just clicked.
The food was flavorful, fresh, and really well done across the board,everyone at the table was happy with what they ordered. The service made it even better—friendly, fun, and attentive without being over the top.
It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a group dinner where you want good food, good energy, and an easy, enjoyable night out.
Would definitely recommend and happily go back“

“Got a recommendation from the hotel, and it was great! Service was eh yet not bad. Kitchen was busy and quick. Food delicious. High prices - $15 for a bowl of soup… but overall I would go back.“
