50 Best Thai Restaurants near Daly City

“Nice Thai spin on brunch spot with variations on classics such as crispy pork belly benedicts, Thai chicken wings, tom yum congee, etc.

I've only visited for brunch, so I can't comment on the dinner menu, but the food is pretty good. Prices are high, but that's the usual in 2025.

The only thing bad I have to say was their roast pork belly was very dry - it might have been an off day.“

“I celebrated my birthday today in this delicious restaurant. I am glad to say that we enjoyed a outstanding evening and the venue was undoubtedly the reason for that successful gathering. The stuff cooperated in a splendid manner, the meals were yummy and my guests were extremely joyful. We shall no dout come back again for more events. Thank you very much.“

“Food is always good and karge servings.“

“Good food!!! Tucked in a corner at Westlake Daly City but dont let the location fool you. This place is always packed with people. Come hungry if you plan to go!!!“

“Amazing food at a great price“

“While this spot is generally considered one of the best Thai spots in the city, I found it to be a bit over rated. Service was just ok and the food was disappointing. The beef curry was good but not as good as it should be considering the price. The beef wasn’t as tender as it should be and the curry was mismatched with fats and spices, generally a bit flat on flavor. Scallops were very good and had subtle Thai flavors that meshed very well with the scallop’s natural flavor. Fried chicken was my least favorite and completely not worth it. I’m not sure what happened here but very little expected flavor and zero exciting or inspiring flavor. Bland is best to describe.

Wine selection was very good. Presentation was beautiful for each dish. Seems like something potential changed, or maybe it was just the day after Valentine’s Day and the team had enough.

Kid-friendliness: Yes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This place is so delicious. Everything comes out quickly and the food is so fresh. The service is amazing and they are always refilling your cup with nice lemon water.

So yeah definitely patronize this place. Our dinner was less than sixty bucks for two people.“

“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!“

“One of the better Thai spots in the city. The have many rare Thai specialties (boat noodles) that are hard to find. Tom Ka was excellent as was the service. Don’t let the location deter you from coming; yes there are some homeless folks out and about but no crime or anything threatening going on.“

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

“An affordable Thai restaurant with good food and friendly service. We ordered a Cucumber Salad, Pad See Ew and Pad Thai. All three dishes were very nicely presented and very good. The Cucumber Salad was generously sprinkled with Bonito flakes, giving it a strong fish flavor. The food was very nicely presented and the restaurant is bright and clean. Access to the bathroom requires a trip through the kitchen.“

“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 have know Jet for over 10+ years.She has so much energy to do thinks. Whatever she does, she put her hearts and thoughts 💯% into it. If I have a chance to go San Francisco, I definitely would to go eat at the restaurant. I missed her cooking!!!“

“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“

“I enjoyed the concept with a bento box prix fix concept from a selection of different set options. I chose the fish and shrimp set and all the flavors were fantastic. I do think the pricing is a little on the expensive side for the portions and wished it would be just a tad larger. Great service, easy to access even without reservations on a Thursday night after work.“

“love that this place is open late. it can be hard to find a good place to eat late at night in nob hill but you KNOW i'm always down for thai food like i will slurp that mf pad see ew like i've never eaten a day in my life and that's exactly what i did that last three times that i went here. place is small but usually not too busy so you always get a good spot. good menu. decent food and good service. nothing crazy to write home about. they don't have portraits of the king and queen of thailand so like it can't be THAT good but it most certainly hits the spot for late night curry cravings. tbh. what am i even saying. i'm here like every week. and the prices are reasonable for the area.“

“Great food with excellent, fresh ingredients. Beautiful place and excellent addition to Glen Park!“

“Love this place! Their green curry is one of my comfort foods in town.

Took my boyfriend and best friend there and everyone loved the atmosphere.

The service is very attentive. The restaurant is always full but getting a table walk in is possible.“

“Absolutely delicious, great service, outstanding dishes. Beautiful decor. Recommending highly.“

“Amazing food, large portions and very fast service. Went at a quiet time and was very pleased with the experience. Thai tea was delicious.

Parking: Along the streets, if your in dire need you can park in the supermarket lot 1/2 mile down the main road“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My favorite Thai spot in SF! Everything I’ve tried has been excellent - I recommend the string bean chili stir fry, papaya salad, duck noodle soup, pad kee mao, chili cha cha spicy pan fried noodle, and the yellow curry. The staff is also very friendly and the prices are reasonable for SF.“

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

“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.“

“We ordered the pad see ew and chicken fried rice, both were very good. The fried rice came with cucumber and tomato and a lime which was a nice surprise. If you like spicy, ask for a side of their chili oil, which has its own sweet surprise.“

“The food are always tasty.“

“This place was very walkable from nearby hotels. The decorations and atmosphere were so cozy! I was worried when I saw only 1 person in the kitchen, but we did not have to wait long for our food, but there was also only one other party there. The Roti Canai was amazing, the red curry flavor was one of the best I've had in a long time. The rest of the food we had was incredibly good too. If I lived nearby I would be coming here all the time! Only downside is the vegetarian options were not clearly marked, and there were 2 pieces of chicken in our tofu pumpkin curry.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options not labeled, and kitchen might accidently put chicken pieces in tofu dishes.“

“good food and great service“

“I ate there a few days ago and it’s delicious. Fresh ingredients, nicely prepared. I had the green curry and the pad prik king. Very friendly staff as well. I work out of an art studio a block away and will definitely be back again soon to try more of their other dishes.“

“��������������������������“

“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“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mama Mu's Bistro, and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the friendly staff, who immediately made me feel at home.

The menu at Mama Mu's Bistro is a delightful surprise with its diverse offerings. I opted for their signature dish, the "Chiang Mai" beef khao soi, and it was a revelation. The server not only served the dish but took the time to explain how to enjoy it fully, which added a personal touch to my meal.

The "Chiang Mai" beef khao soi itself was a masterpiece. The rich orange broth was bursting with flavor, and the tender beef paired perfectly with the noodles. A word of advice: heed the warning about wearing a bib or dark clothing because the broth is so deliciously splash-worthy!

To complement my meal, I enjoyed a complimentary matcha which was a refreshing palate cleanser, and a lime iced tea that was perfectly balanced in sweetness.

What truly impressed me was the ambiance of Mama Mu's Bistro. Despite arriving before the lunch rush, I had the restaurant almost to myself for an hour, allowing me to savor my meal in a tranquil environment.

Overall, Mama Mu's Bistro exceeded my expectations in every way. From the warm hospitality to the expertly crafted dishes, it's a place I can't wait to visit again soon. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with a touch of culinary flair, Mama Mu's Bistro should be at the top of your list.“

“TLDR: takeout Thai food that had great flavor

I got a bowl of Tom kha soup that was a huge portion, we had three bowls out of the takeout container and the flavors of the coconut curry soup left us feeling very warm. The pad Thai had a good amount of sweetness without being too sweet, the texture of the noodles were just right without being mushy“

“Stumbled across this gem and already looking forward to going back. The crab fried rice and eggplant salad were excellent. We also had Pad Woon Sen with beef that was great. All of the dishes had a great depth of flavor while also being light and fresh.“

“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!“

“Excellent food served by volunteers who are part of this wonderful monastery. This is a nonprofit organization. You can also go in and meditate. The food is delicious. The volunteers are kind and helpful. They accept Venmo or cash donations for the food. Outdoor seating available. Extensive menu. Pork and Thai coffee was delicious!!!“

“This is one of my frequent go-to Thai restaurants in the city where Thai places are common.

One of the things that I value in a restaurant is consistency of quality and these folks always roll out high standards in their servings.

And while there are so many Thai eateries in San Francisco in plenty of pockets around town and everyone has their favorites, I submit this post as a simple endorsement as a great place to try or include in your rotation.

The food is very good with plenty of selection, the place is clean and the service is prompt with reasonable pricing. That about checks off all the boxes.“

“Great place foe delicious foiod, friendly and fast service at a reasonable price. Best Tom Yum soup I've ever had.

Servings are generous and flavorful. They are willing to swap ingredients if you wish to customize your rider.

Vegetarian options: You could ask for tofu I stead of meat in any dish.

Parking: Busy neighborhood with primarily metered parking spaces.“

“Loved this place - authentic and reminded us of the street food we had in actual Thailand.

Had the eggplant, bbq chicken, and pad Thai with prawns.

I always appreciate food when the flavor is so good you don’t need to add hot sauce.“

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

“We ordered the curry puff as an appetizer, along with green curry and pad thai. The curry puff was excellent—warm and soft on the inside. The food was served on time, and the portions were generous. The green curry was good, though not particularly impressive, and the pad thai was a bit too saucy for my taste.“

“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!“

“Vegetarian perspective

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.“

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