"At this Thai restaurant in the Mission, folks will animatedly fan their mouths and flag down staff for another Thai tea-this spot doesn't hold back on the Thai chilis and leans into soul-curing heat. That heat is the key to each dish's greatness, along with in-your-face flavors like funky, salty, and sweet. The party wings coated in sticky chili jam are on every table, as are plates of umami-packed pad thai and charcoal-grilled pork with a fried egg."
"You'll want to send everyone in your contacts list to The Thonglor, but also gatekeep this place at the same time-a meal at this tiny Lower Nob Hill spot is the restaurant equivalent of a pump-up album you listen to top to bottom, no skips. You're treated to a parade of hearty curries, nose-clearing papaya salads, and the most flawless pad thai you'll ever lay your eyes on."
Fifteen San Francisco restaurants showcase the breadth of Thai cuisine, from neighborhood street-food specialties to refined multi-course tasting menus.
