This place definitely had an authentic feel to it which is hard to come by in the marina sometimes. The curries were of perfect spice and consistency, really liked the gyoza and chicken wing appetizers too. That eggplant fish and pad Thai was also standout. This may now be my go to Thai in the marina, I'll be back!

I ordered takeout and the chicken fried rice and chicken pad Thai were both super good! Chicken fried rice still tasted great the next day too.

Tom yum soup was a bit too much of tomato flavor instead of the lemongrass fragrant taste. Pad See Ew is Drunken Noodles and was adorned. They didn't use Asian broccoli but regular broccoli for this dish, otherwise, it would have been above notch. One has to ask for their spicy peppers and it complemented well with this dish along with other dishes. Green Curry was yum! Pineapple fried rice was spot on. Casual hole in the wall kind of spot with waitress service and the decor is hipster meets Thai. Great grab if one is craving Thai around here.

Came here on a Thursday night and service was pretty quick. My friend and I split the pad kee mao which was very solid and reasonably priced. I thought it had the perfect amount of sauce and flavor. I also liked how the server didn't rush us with the check and let us sit and enjoy for quite a while. Overall, I would definitely return.

It's pretty hard to find a good, authentic Asian restaurant in the Marina but this place definitely hits the spot! I've only ordered the pork pad Thai (to-go) and each time, the quality was consistent and so delicious! I like that the sauce isn't too sweet or sour. The portions are large, and the service is so friendly and sweet! The interior is also well kept and cozy. Pro-tip: I personally like to order my pad Thai with extra sauce and lime! So glad I've found my go-to spot in the Marina whenever I'm craving thai food!

Popped in for dinner because it was next to our hotel. We were the only ones in the restaurant and I'm not sure why....this place was so so good!! The waiter was young, kind and attentive. We ordered the drunken noodles and Moo Grob Gra Praw with a side of brown rice. The drunken noodles were flavorful and saucy. The pork in the Moo Grob Gra Praw was crispy, tender and delicious. The portions were decent. My only complaint was it was very chilly in the restaurant because the front window was open when we went in. When we sat down, the owner closed the window but it was still cold.

Best Thai spot in the Marina. I am so picky with my Thai food and this place hits the spot when I'm craving for good Asian food. We were so pleasantly surprised that this place is actually a legitimate, authentic Thai place. I'd skip the egg rolls but everything we ordered was so so good! Service was very attentive. It's a small (but cute) place but there's always space for walk-ins since this is more of a takeout place. Great food - this will be my new Thai spot in the Marina!

One of the best Thai spots in the Marina for sure. My friends came across this spot on Yelp by chance since it was in walking distance-- we were inadequately prepared for how good the food was LOL Our party of 3 walked in on a Saturday evening and were seated immediately. Kind of a street food vibe, pretty trendy decor. Our server was quick and courteous, though stretched a bit thin (only one server and one cook for the entire restaurant that night???). We split everything family style. EGG ROLLS: Standard veggie filling. Their house-made sauce was fairly appetizing, not too sweet. GREEN CURRY (chicken): Just spicy enough for the spice-adverse (me) to enjoy!! Sweet with strong lemongrass and lime flavors. The chicken was tender and juicy. Recommend ordering a few bowls of rice to balance it out. PAD SEE EW (chicken): Their sauce is more umami than sweet, but goes well with the chicken. Could use more veggies, but otherwise delicious. TOM KHA: This is the best tom kha I've had in the bay. Creamy, aromatic, while light and refreshing from the citrus. SO GOOD. Surprised at the lower reviews, I thought everything was flavorful and seasoned evenly. We had nothing but positives to say after leaving the restaurant.

A quaint thai restaurant with decently good food. The interior gives off a very SF vibe, which was a nice touch. It's a small little place that had one server for the night so service was quick. I got the chef's special: thai style crab omurice. The presentation was nice and the portion decently sized for one person. I really liked the sauce that came with it, though it had to be used lightly since it was super salty. The actual rice was good, but I did get tired of the saltiness/fishiness towards the end. I wished the egg was a little bit more runny, as it was cooked all the way through and was almost a bit rubbery because of this. The actual crab pieces on top were good and complimented the dish though! Overall, I liked this restaurant but wasn't thoroughly impressed by their most popular item. Because of that, I think I'll be trying other restaurants before coming back here!
