    Crispy pork belly with basil, and sliced pork shoulder with chili powder are amazing. Garlicky quail or frog -yum. Delivery till midnight. I've tried maybe 30 things here and they were all amazing.

    Sure Lers Ros is the only authentic Thai restaurant with rabbit, frog and venison on its regular menu, but even the pad Thai rivals the best you'll find anywhere in Thailand. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    This is by far the best Thai food I ever had in the U.S. The rabbit, the duck, pork dishes are all top notch. Make a reservation ahead of time, this place is very busy and the wait can be long.

    Another exceptionally good asian restaurant in this really shitty neighborhood. They do a good job of leaving the street flavor outside however. Crispy duck salad was outstanding. Great curries too.

    Very nice staff, had the hottest food ever after I asked for MILD but with sugar it still tasted good and I do understand why they are the best in San Fran. Lines for ages out the door.

    Best Thai in San Francisco. I love the pork belly, duck larb, spicy beef salad, five spices stewed pork leg, and the whole fried tilapia.

    A fan favorite among our chefs friends, this is where many of them eat on their day off. This isn’t some of the best Thai in SF, it’s some of the best Thai in the country!

    Some of the best thai I've had outside of thailand. A bit pricier than other thai restaurants, but well worth the money for the quality.

    One of my favorite soups is tom kreang nai, a clear broth with slices of liver, intestines and other entrails, and strips of preserved mustard greens. The soup is light but has an engaging mustiness Read more

    After the reviews read,I tried the pork shoulder slides as a starter: delicious! my main was the pork belly and loved it! My wife took the red curry and was excellent also!

    IMO there are very few good Thai restaurants in SF. This one is probably one of the good ones. Generous portions and overall really good food. Being a vegetarian, menu includes same usual suspects.

    Delicious food. I found myself a place in SF that has great Som Tam (papaya salad). We also tried the whole tilapia it was tasty but dry next time stick to basics 🙏🏼

    Don’t come here and expect an intimate ambiance. The restaurant is busy and give you a real experience of Asian style. Check out the last item on their Special Menu. It’s the best thing I ever had!

    Appetizers: Samosas (skip), spring rolls (skip), tom kha soup (skip). Main entree: pad thai (awesome! And huge portion!), egg fried rice (awesome!) pad kee mao (ok)

    The pork shoulder (alone or with a salad) is to die for. Paired with a citrus dipping sauce, it's a fatty but delicious appetizer ... for one. I have a hard time sharing this dish. :)

    Best delivery I've ever had. Came in about 45 min, $15 minimum and ridiculously good garlic pork and ginger rice. This place makes me miss NYC less

    It’s amazing! Try the Pad Thai and ask for extra spicy. Pad see ew was good too and the Green curry. They have lunch combos too but their more standard.

    Get the crispy pork belly. People call this dish a standout and a "must try" on Lers Ros' long menu. Read more

    You can't go wrong. Loved the chicken with red sauce, kaffir leaves and peppercorns, coconut soup, pork belly and mango sticky rice. Service sucks, neighborhood is shady, but the food is worth it.

    This is where you bring a friend and order a whole fish. If you have ever been intimidated by it, don't be. Such a rich experience.

    Pad see-ew is great. Also the fried trout is tops. And if you are in the mood for soup get the tom kha kai

    Very authentic Thai food with items you can't find on most menus. The loud club music they play can't even distract you from how delicious their food is.

    You need to try plain rice soup. That's Thais' late-night meal. Have it with kana moo krob (stir-fried crispy pork w/ kale) and pak boong fai dang (stir-fried on choy). Thai-styled omelet is good too

    Food here is delicious, but their spice scale is not calibrated for weak taste buds. Medium strong is... Strong! Sake goes great with Thai food- apply liberally.

    While still good, skip the pad Thais and typical dishes and get the pork belly, duck, eggplant etc etc dishes. Flavorful, kinda salty, spicy.

    Authentic Thai. Try the larb moo at the spiciest level, eat with sticky rice. Just as I would at home.

    New Yorkers: this place is the caliber of the best Thai places in Queens, like SriPraPhai. The default spiciness is perfect, unless you hate chilies.

    The food is not spectacular-average at best-but Lers Ros is worth trying if you crave the novelty of frog legs and the like.

    If you are one of those weirdos like me who adores the stinking fruit, order Durian sticky rice for dessert, it is a superb if eccentric palate cleanser.

    Probably the best Thai in SF and open late! The pork shoulder salad, house-made beef jerky, and green beans with pork are some of our favs.

    Try the Pork Belly and Shrimp Salad. Yummy! A bit spicy so be sure to request mild unless you are looking to destroy your taste buds
