The Tom kha, garlic edamame, and pho ga’ mommy soup’ dish’s are all really well done. My kids annihilated their noodle/veg/ protein dish in no time. This place has been here forever for a reason. Great portions, fast service, and a chill atmosphere.
Super honest crew at this place! I’ve eaten here twice now and both times me and my guests have been happy with the food.I accidentally left my camera bag in the restaurant and one of the managers hid it away until I realized it was missing a few hours later. One of the cooks even stayed late so I could pick it up that evening.
We got a couple vegetarian noodle dishes, portions are large (at least 1.5 meals each). They were heavy on the noodles, light on the other ingredients. One's sauce was spicy and pretty flavorful, the other was surprisingly bland. I wouldn't go out of my way to order either dish again, I'd get Thai food from down the street instead.
I have been ordering from here for a long time and finally tried their bahn mi the other day. It's one of the best I've ever had. I got the shrimp bahn mi but I suspect they are all amazing. The bread is so soft! Their avocado spring roll with peanut sauce (instead of the other sauce that usually comes with it) is also amazing. The BBQ tofu spring roll is not good.
Great ambiance, amazing chicken satay starter with complimentary sauce. The skewers came out packed with meat. The Khao Soy noodles comes with thick round egg noodles, which might be a fusion take on the traditional flat and wide rice noodles, so I'm not sure if noodles absorbed and coated the flavors of the broth well. I'd say the noodles became more flavorful towards the end of the dish bc it's had time to absorb the broth, and the fact that the spices accumulate to the bottom of the bowl. Overall a great place to find south-east asian dishes in Haight, where the option would be Thai food otherwise.
This used to be one of the best Thai restaurants in SF. Now it’s one of the worst. Their soups have lost quality, they’re green beans are raw and disgusting, their miso soup used to be so good and now it’s horrible. Never going back!
Plenty of outdoor dining, not sure if it's heated. Giant bowls of stuff, quite tasty. Also plenty of vegan options, but still good things for carnivores, too. However, don't go here thinking you're getting "cheap eats", cause this place ain't cheap. Tasted fresh though, and you can easily get 2 meals from their big bowl entrees. Top tip: bring your own Tupperware with a screw on lid for your leftovers. Reasonable beer prices.
Incredible attention to detail on my pickup order. I usually get their delicious vegetable hot and sour soup with shrimp added, but today wanted it vegetarian. I got a call back explaining the broth contains shrimp base, is that OK? YES and thank you for asking!
This is possibly my favorite place to eat in the Haight area. Their menu has several options depending on what you are in the mood for, but the wok-tossed noodles are always delicious and generously portioned, especially if you dine in. They also reheat well so you can get a couple meals out of a single order.They also have a wide variety of soups served in almost comically large bowls that could easily feed two. While I personally am not a fan of Pho, I have been told that this place makes it well. The staff is always very friendly and attentive, even if you opt to sit in their outdoor patio area.If you want a fairly priced, large, delicious meal; this is the place to go. It may not be as fancy as some options, but it is always very consistent, fairly fast, and never regrettable.
My wife had her favorite Jade Coconut Marmalade Shrimp dish (swapping gluten free rice noodles for the jade spinach noodles) and I had a classic beef pho. Once she got an extra side of the sauce she likes the dish was perfect, and I finished my entire mighty helping of pho, drinking the last sip of broth. A perfect meal stop in upper Haight.
