Food is high quality with dishes you demand and many uncommon and exotic specials. They bring the heat with spice by default which I appreciate. Veggie red curry for me and I was pleased.

Specialties: Tom kreang nai (entrail soup); pad kra prow moo krob (crisp pork belly with garlic chiles and fresh basil); sliced beef (or chicken or pork) with young peppercorns; quick-fried trout. Read more

I have been to Lers Ros's Tenderloin location as well. Absolutely love the taste. Pan fried noodles was my favorite. Service at this location was off. They messed up our order and the bill.

Big menu with all the classics and good house specials. You have to ask for extra-spicy if you like any sort of kick. Spring rolls are ace btw.

I still like their Larkin location better but this one has nicer decor. The food is about the same. Curried are good. Love the crispy pork belly and fried chicken rice plates.

Tom yum soup is SUPER spicy. Be sure to ask for it to be more mild. The pad ke kraw shrimp dish is delicious!
Rachel DaveyNovember 1, 2013
The papaya salad is amazing!! Ask them to make it spicy! We also had amazing yellow chicken curry and satay chicken also amazing!!
Cara BramsonSeptember 4, 2015
Be careful ordering Pad Kee Mao. I asked for it mild and it was the spiciest thing I've ever eaten. My mouth is on fire.

Very good Thai food with a wide selection of food. May have to wait a bit but it wouldn't take too long.

The chicken tom kha gai is outstanding. It has oyster mushrooms in it and lime juice.

Duck Larb! Spicy, flavorful and fresh!

I love the Pad see-ew with beef, also the ramen is great (tried the yellow one)

Noodle soups here are boat noodles! Get them with wide noodles as opposed to thin.

Nice thai place. We had lunch combos and pad thai (the 🍤 were especially good)

Nuer Pad Prik Thai Ooan = green peppercorn beef magic

If you don't hate durian, try their sweet sticky rice with durian. It's amazing.

A premium name in SF's Thai chains. Beautiful interiors, and amazing food. It's a busy place.

The lunch rice plate is a considerable amount of food.
Schlomo RabinowitzOctober 13, 2014
Fried garlic whole fish; spicy cold duck salad; fried quail. EAT THEM ALL.

Best phad see-ewe I've had in the Bay Area.

Good place to go after the symphony concert. It's kitchen closes late at 10:45pm
Kevin BurgJune 9, 2014
If you bring a party of 2 without a reservation they'll make you sit at the bar.
Nitzan BMay 21, 2019
Food was good and there plenty of vegan/veggie options too!
Ting SNovember 13, 2015
As a nearby conservatory student, I go here too often mostly for their lunch special.
Laura PAugust 18, 2012
Not only is the chicken coconut soup beyond delicious, the presentation is impressive too!

Fast service. The soup is very good but you should share it as it's big.

Tasty, cost-efficient lunch specials. Pick two items, comes with rice and a side salad.
Tracy CheungApril 13, 2015
Beware! Mild papaya salad is good, but still very spicy.
J TNovember 5, 2017
On a cold winter night, Tom Kha Pak soup is all you need.
Catherine M. 🍷May 22, 2017
Had my forever fave Pra Ram beef with fresh spinach. Yum!
Vijay RajendranDecember 28, 2011
Try the Plal Kra Pong Nuang Manow Sea Bass - Fragrant, delicate and delicious.
James TApril 29, 2017
Was excited for the Pad Kra Prow Moo Krob (pork belly with basil and chillies), but the pork belly was dry and lacking flavor.

The spicy catfish was awesome!

Don't get a reservation because still seat everyone in front of you.
VictoriaNovember 16, 2012
The papaya salad with salted egg changed my life.
Chuck RoslofNovember 8, 2015
They have a lot of meats you won't find at many restaurants.
Tom CardenJune 25, 2012
Tasty place - good lunch specials - a shade pricier than the older Tenderloin location.
Kelly 🍰November 22, 2011
Ask for the condiment tray! Chili paste, chili sauce, jalepenos, red pepper flakes
Mike RosenzweigDecember 12, 2011
Great glass/silverware. Feel the heft of the spoon! Also almond icecream w sticky rice
H KDecember 8, 2018
Noodles were little too sweet. This isn't really an authentic place unfortunately but still tasty 👍
Bonnie EisenmanApril 2, 2018
Delicious food, service was a miss, though.

Not the biggest fan of the pad Thai here — it's kind of oily and there is much better in SF. Usually go for the pad see ew instead.
Vijay RajendranDecember 28, 2011
Try the Tom Yum Koong - Fragrant, delicate and delicious.
Alex LinJuly 8, 2013
Green curry with tofu was good, as was the thai iced tea.
Chris ChouJune 18, 2014
You can't call it seafood pad see ew when it only has a single shrimp.

red curry with duck is delicious
J BakhDecember 6, 2015
Everything. Soups are amazing.
Danny TrinhSeptember 21, 2014
