This gorgeous and very clean place is a lunchtime gem! The food was amazing – super flavorful, with options for everyone. My vegan friend was happy with their selections too. Service was on point too, with our meals arriving quickly. They even have a full bar for those interested. Just a heads up that gratuity is already included in the check, so factor that in when paying. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time, especially for lunch, because they get quite busy.

I have been here twice now and the food and drinks do not disappoint. May need a reservation since too many people come here after work!

I was recently on a business trip to San Francisco, so I had the chance to return to the Lao Table, which we had visited a couple of times on our trip there last year.It’s a small, unassuming exterior which doesn’t do the place justice.We started with the Tod Tod Platter, which was a selection of appetizers on one plate, for the table. This included really tasty Pork Belly, Calamari, Garlic Chicken Wings, Beef and Tom Yum Fries. It really is a great, varied, and yummy dish for your table to share.I went with my go-to dish, which is the Spicy Thai Basil Chicken. It’s a jasmine rice-based dish, with diced chicken, bell peppers, chili sauce and a cucumber consommé, topped with a fried egg, which compliments the spiciness of the dish. It’s so nice, I ate this 3 times in one week….and I don’t regret it for a moment.On my second visit, I finished off my main course with the Khao Tom Mudd desert. This is coconut ice-cream, served in a young coconut alongside some great sticky red bean rice, wrapped in a banana leaf (which keeps the rice nice and warm for eating). The mix of sweet, raw coconut and sticky rice is a treat.This was all washed down with some hot green tea.In total, I’ve been here about 6 times over the last couple of years.The place is kept super clean, the staff are very observant and quick to help you out in any way they can. They’re also very efficient at recycling tables when you’re done, or when you’re waiting to be seated, which shows you how well-drilled they are.Their prices are good for the area, and they have a really wide selection of meals to choose from.I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re visiting the center of downtown San Francisco.Give these guys a visit.You won’t regret it.
Red curry here. Amazing! Would go back. Food came out so fast it kind of freaked me out ?

Good Thai food overall and good service but it is a very loud place. We had a business dîner there and it was particularly difficult to have a conversation due to the ambient noise.

I hosted an event here and Tasha helped ensure it was a success. Good food, cocktails and atmosphere. Next time I'm in SF, I'll definitely pay it a visit.
Feels like it’s designed to wow to the corporate folks in downtown but don’t expect anything authentic.

I like how you can customize dish for vegetarians like me. For lunch, I got red curry with Thai iced tea and it was amazing in taste. I asked for medium spice which was perfect for me. The quantity was decent too. Red curry comes with rice and noodles so make sure you don't order sticky rice unless you want more!Vegetarian options: They can customize it for vegetarians

Lao Table knows how to kick off the weekend in style! Their Friday all day happy hour is a feast for the senses, featuring fantastic specials that are not to be missed. From the irresistible and budget-friendly oyster platter to the delectable curry that will transport your taste buds to new heights, every dish is a culinary delight. And let's not forget about the tea – it's not just fantastic, it's downright extraordinary. Lao Table is an experience to savor, with a tantalizing array of flavors and delights that will leave you longing for more.

Great food - bit loud to make conversations ? they had the special drink for Chinese news year - called “Dragon Treasure” for good luck (gin based - really tasty) ??
