Igor RuchkaDecember 22, 2013Happy hour $3 per draft pint. Fantastic calamari as appetizers. I love that it comes as whole calamari steaks not just rings. Very soft and tender. Recommend Tom Yum Sea Buss Soup. Yummiest!!!
Michael CoxApril 22, 2016Park on Freelon or Welsh. Get a Bangkok signature cocktail. Try the kur kling and bags of gold or the pumpkin curry - all delish!
Phillip ChinNovember 10, 2010Anyone can knock it out of the park with sea bass... but if you're looking for something a little decadent, they have a dish with fried pork belly that is just divine. Not for the faint of heart.
Casi GerberMay 16, 2011My absolute favorite thai place in SOMA. It's all about the Bags of Gold appetizer! But really everything I have had here is delicious! Read more
Shirley LiuJanuary 19, 2013Cute date spot that never seems too loud/packed. Get the pumpkin curry or any of their noodle dishes -- the pad thai isn't too sweet like some places.
Jessie LeeAugust 11, 2010As for me, it's a walking distance great thai food in south beach, sf, ca. pad thai with Tofu is great!Serving lunch, dinner, and drinks with regional specialties.
Monkey to go is a great option of you don't have time for a nice sit down meal.
Adrian ChenFebruary 5, 2018Good food but smaller portions They have you order by check marking a paper menu and you pay for the order upfront. Don't know if they're trying to save money on service but it isn't very good now.
Lynn HuSeptember 23, 2013The sirloin salad is really good! Get it with steamed rice though - it's kinda spicy.
Jessica ChanNovember 5, 2011get the adaman sea - ginger seabass. highly recommended! buttery fish and v tasty.
Venita Maldonado, Dog WalkerJune 28, 2010All of the food was amazing. Presentation was awesome. Great service. Chicken satay highly recommended. Prices are very reasonable.
ChrisSeptember 28, 2013Not authentic, but good taste overall. Liked the Panäng Curry with beef, too sweet maybe. Mango salad was ok, but not close to authentic. Call them for cheaper price than online order.
Julian GonzalezFebruary 9, 2012The Cilantro Margarita is a must try! Make sure you get salt on the rim
- Jessica ChanSeptember 20, 2011get the pumpkin curry. one of those things that tastes way better than it sounds.
evonne heyningJune 24, 2010Best pumpkin curry for dinner + the Samui flight of white wines is delicious. Lunch specials rock.
Portion are way too big (from an european perspective).
David StewardFebruary 20, 2012Don't miss the pumpkin curry! (But I'm not a fan of their pad thai - very bland)
If you're in a hurry, the to-go window offers the standards and gets you out fast.
super cheap happy hour. Avoid Thursdays and Fridays, bridge and tunnel takes over.
Order the spring rolls, they have delicious peanut sauce!
Split the sampler platter among 2+ people, especially if you like dim sum-type dining. It's good stuff.
Their pumpkin curry is really great! (and comes inside of a pumpkin)
