A True Gem in the Outer Sunset!
I’ve been a customer here for years—it’s truly the best Thai food I’ve had in the Outer Sunset, and it’s easy to see why they’ve been around for so long. The food is always delicious, fresh, and arrives hot!
I highly recommend the Garlic Pork; the marinade is perfect, and the accompanying sauce is absolutely delish. And the noodles are a classic for a reason—both the Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are packed with flavor. Every dish here is simply perfect in every way.
Beyond the amazing food, the service is great. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant has a wonderfully cozy and casual atmosphere. It’s the ideal spot to bring family and friends. This diamond in the rough is a must-try!

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.

Friendly and attentive service. Even wrapped the food I ordered while waiting for my lunch mate (hence the plastic wrap in the photo). Food was excellent. Reasonably priced. Two entree lunch combo is a ton of food. Can make dishes vegan upon request. Can’t wait to go back and try more menu items!

Small restaurant, but really nice ambiance and Thai food. Garlic pork was good. Eggplant basil was good too. You choose the protein. Pumpkin curry had kambocha squash in it and tasted great! This one comes with chicken and shrimp both. You can change jasmine rice to brown if you’d like. Located near Ocean Beach. Service was good, though it felt a little short staffed. Parking on the street and could be difficult as usual in SF. Definitely worth a try!

Delicious food, the curry was the perfect portion size.
Prompt, efficient service. I was able to do a bit of work on my laptop as it was quiet pre-dinner rush.
Nice lighting and minimal, tasteful decor

Delicious thai food in a lovely ambiance. I especially loved the kao soy – noodles and greens in a rich curry broth.

My favorite pad Thai here. Service has always been prompt and friendly. The place is spacious, not crammed at all.

Food was delicious. Tofu appetizer is highly recommended and Pad Thai with tofu was also superb. Will visit again when in town.

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.

Really good Thai food in my neighborhood. The food was delicious, arrived as promised, and the customer service on the phone and by our delivery driver was excellent.
