Great food! Don't underesstimate the amount in the to-go containers. it's a lot more than you'd expect! Definitely looking forward to coming back. My default is the Pad Thai with Chicken and Pad See Ewe with Beef and Silver Noodles. Enjoy!

Came in at 5 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. Not too many people so the atmosphere was pretty quiet. Of course, fast service but the main thing is the food was great! I had vegetable Penang with chicken, all cooked to perfection. The curry was thick and flavorful! Just the right spicyness for me! I combined it with a side of brown rice, and of course Thai iced tea. Very fair price for the quantity and quality. I put this meal right up there with the best of any Thai meal I have had in or out of Thailand!

I always order take out here, because I love the Lad Na Pork, Ground Chicken Gra Pow Thai Style, and the Egg Rolls. I haven’t really explored the menu much, but I can vouch for these dishes. This is a friendly family run business to which I have been coming to for years now.

We came here after picking up our rental car after our flight at SFO and we were starving. We were able to find street parking right outside the restaurant and walked in. The space is small but cute and we were seated right away. We ordered the egg rolls as an app, which were not bad. They were definitely served steaming hot. The soup we had was delicious, the fried rice and pad see ew were also really good. The thai iced tea was great and overall, food was prepared well and the service was good.

I was having a violent craving for Thai food and my options were to either get some elsewhere or wait an hour for this spot to reopen for dinner service. It was a struggle but I'm glad I survived the wait and stopped by to dine in. We got the pad Thai, crab fried rice, and papaya salad. I only tried the pad Thai and papaya salad but both were very good. Sizable portions, and the pad Thai noodles weren't gummy which is always my concern whenever I choose to order that dish. I love a spicy kick to my papaya salads and they definitely delivered on that for me. I wouldn't say that it beats my favorite Thai restaurant in the South Bay, but I'm glad to have discovered this place and visit whenever I have a craving for Thai in SF again.

It's a smaller establishment, not super clean. I wouldn't recommend using their restroom. Their staff are super kind and helpful with answering any questions. The food is all delicious. The pineapple fried rice with chicken was so flavorful. We also ordered the pad see ew with beef and it was cooked perfectly. Last but not least we ordered the ka pow. The flavors were there and it was tasty, but there was hardly any meat and way too much onion and bell peppers. The dish was significantly smaller than the other too and did not come with rice. That is the only disappointing thing. Other than that, I would come back here.
