23 Best Thai Restaurants in San Francisco

“Amazing food at a great price“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“Great people Great Food! Ask for the chicken skins.“

“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!“

“We stopped by after a long day of exploring San Francisco and we were ready for a delicious hot meal. I ordered the pad se ew (which has all but become my standard Thai dish when I try a new place). The chicken was tender but the broccoli was a bit tough — I think Chinese broccoli would’ve probably been a more suitable variant. The sweet and savory sauce was pretty typical for pad se ew! The portion size made for a nice leftover meal and the pricing was more than reasonable.“

“This place is AMAZING! From the time you walk in the door everyone greets you authentically and that love transfers into the food. I can’t wait to go back. Price, portions, taste, service…. The sweet and sour shrimp flavor was REAL…buss’’n. Muy delicioso… voy a volver pronto.“

“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.“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The food are always tasty.“

“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.“

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

“The food are very delicious as usual. The restaurant follows COVID safety guidelines, which I am very happy to see. The only problem I want to comment is the delivery pickup people from Doordash, Uber eats and Curbsides. They need to wait behind the wait line in stead of keep coming to the dining table zone, where people are enjoying eating with their friends and family. There is a reason for it, and they really need to follow them. Overall I will strongly recommend you to bring your friends and family to enjoy dining inside at this restaurant or order as takeout. 😉😊👍“

“I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Very lovely place. Friendly atmosphere and staff.

I had the yellow curry and Thai iced tea. They were delicious! The curry had just a bit of spice which made it nice. There was also a side of cucumbers with a sweet sauce that were good.

Overall I would recommend you stop by!
Kid friendly as well.“

“I ordered 30 lunch boxes for a training I had at work. Very pleased with the food - everything was very tasty and it was still warm when it arrived. I overheard a coworker say that it was a really nice change from the usual boring sandwiches. Would order from them again.“

“Tropical Pancake: 10/10
- vegan (coconut-based)
- gluten free
- advertised as a take on mango sticky rice

Side of Potatoes: 10/10
- pan-fried
- crispy and crunchy
- not your ordinary potatoes!

Side of Bacon: 8/10
- crispy, as bacon should be

I came into the restaurant describing my dietary restrictions (no egg, no gluten, no dairy), and the host was very accommodating. He took his time going through the menu, and reassured me they could make alterations to other dishes to work for my restrictions. Overall a great experience, definitely coming again!“

“In fact, the place is more for takeout. However, there are 3 tables outside where you can stop by and eat there.

The food is very light and tasty. They have a medium version if you think the medium version is too much food.

They also serve chicken broth as a side dish.

It was great for me because I just wanted something light and nutritious.

The girls provided great service since I didn't know all the dishes at the restaurant, so The Marina was a good option.“

“Love this place, food is delish, staff are really helpful :D“

“I love Champa Garden. They serve authentic Lao (and Thai) food, including delicious papaya salad, larb (both of which you can get Lao or Thai style), and perfect sticky rice. The rice ball dish is also delectable! I'm looking forward to trying other dishes. And their prices are very reasonable!“

“We were attending a Degas exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum when we stumbled across this little gem. It was 5 pm on Friday, and the restaurant did not open for another half hour. We decided to wait, and enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood for a bit. There is a nice park across the street where we were able to watch dogs running and children playing. The street parking was not as difficult as expected. Upon our return, we were seated promptly and the service was very warm and friendly. We told our server that we were vegetarian, and that was not a problem at all for them to accommodate us. Our decisions for dinner, as it was a tough one to decide, were: - Burmese - Pagan Vegetable Curry ($8.25) House special curry made with tomatoes, squash, eggplant, and lentils. - Thai - Vegetarian Tom Yum Soup ($9.95) & - Thai - Tofu Vegetable Combination ($10.95) Sauteed tofu and mixed vegetables with garlic sauce. - Jasmine rice for 2. The food was brought out in a very timely manner, and was delicious! The flavors blended perfectly, and the veggies were fresh and expertly prepared. The dishes were a nice mix of savory, spicy, and sweet, and the presentation was well done. We will definitely be returning when we visit again, and are grateful that there is still a reasonably priced restaurant to eat at in San Francisco. Thank you for a very nice experience!“

“Great food quality and fantastic service.“
