Very nice place, good food, fresh and friendly staff. I recommend the Kao Soi, #1 soup in Thailand. My Thai husband (remember, he is a Thai Chef) and me we really recommend this place!

Ordered the Kao Soi and it was great! Noodles had nice chewy texture and curry was rich but balanced. Beef was well seasoned. Ordered the cream cheese Rangoons and they were good too. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Interior could use a bit more decor. Highly recommend if you're in the Castro looking for some Asian noodle cuisine

My husband and I got street noodle, kao soi, and roti. They were all tasty and well presented. The food is also good quality and the price of the food is good too! We’ll be back to try out other dishes.

Hands down one of the best Curry Noodle Soups I've had in the U.S. The meat was very tender, the wonton ball added a nice texture (once dunked in the soup) and acted as a nice vehicle to soak up the flavor of the broth. The noodles (not sure if they were egg or wheat) had a nice chewy texture. Also, the pickled veggies added a nice sour kick to compliment the coconut forward Curry Broth that's found in a lot of good soups in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. For me, once I added some of the Sambal and Vinegared Jalapenos, it deepened the flavor and was good to the last drop.

This place is the hidden gem!! One of the best places with the highest quality-price ratio. The food is authentic (as a Thai person, I can justify for Chicken rice and the bbq & crispy pork belly rice) and has big portions! Beef Pho is also flavorful. My friend is not so impressed with chicken breast karaage, but I think it executes quite well - healthy meat but deep fried. In any event, we had a great time with leftovers. And we didn't even order the most popular dishes here yet. So we will definitely come back for more. PS: The owner and the staff are Thai. So that gives quite reassurance :)

Cute and clean restaurant in Castro area . The crispy pork belly with rice is so good and love that it comes with small broth!!! I added egg and bbq pork too. The service is so friendly and fast . Can't wait to go back and try more dishes :)

No frills order-at-the-counter noodle joint that has no reason being as good as it is. Got the #1 Street Noodle and the Wonton Noodle soup and both came out quickly and were filling and delicious. The place was pretty dead, but I hope it gets good business. It was the perfect post drinking dish.

Great food and amazing staff, had an excellent dinner here. Got the number 10 Kao Soi and Cream Cheese rangoons. The kao soi was super flavorful and with a bit of sriracha sauce it was perfect to my taste. The cream cheese Rangoons were tasty and the sweet and sour sauce was very good.
