Came here with a group of friends for a New Year's Eve dinner! The service was great, as the servers were attentive and checked up on us fairly often. The restaurant closes at 9:30pm, and they were kind enough to let us stay until then! I also enjoyed the ambiance - the interior was quite beautiful, and had many floral decorations, which I enjoyed. For food, I got the hot stone pot, which comes with minced pork and prawns. The dish was not only delicious but also was a large portion size. The rice was crispy on the bottom, and it was nice that the server mixed the dish for me on the table. I would definitely come back to try other dishes! One of my friends got the Pad Kee Mow, and she also very much enjoyed her dish, agreeing that it was delicious and that the noodles were perfectly chewy! I got the French 75 as a drink, and it was very good as well! Overall, I would definitely come back, especially to try the brunch, which I've heard many good things about! Truly a 10/10 experience! read more

Cutesy Thai restaurant off busy Chestnut Street in the Marina. Came here during happy hour when drinks are half off and the appetizers are $4 off. I would describe the ambiance as "modern cherry blossom" with it's tall ceilings and pop music to boot. I had the popcorn chicken appetizer - very crispy and tasty with the five spice outer coating. Next came the egg rolls, about four rolls cut in half with accompanying Thai sweet chili sauce. I split the pad see ew with tofu. It would have been nice to have had a few more vegetables thrown in, especially the broccoli as I counted just a couple of pieces. I did like the tofu although I felt there could have been more and a bit more tender. They could totally redo the front patio dining area as I think it would draw more customers in. If it had not been for my friend recommending this spot, I would have walked by. Overall the customer service was good and I would come back to try other dishes - I'd say the popcorn chicken was my favorite. read more

I came back for brunch with a larger group of friends and tried the Marina jook which was great as I needed something warm and comforting. The texture of the congee was luscious with a good amount of sesame oil and chili oil for fragrance. The bacon added a nice crunch and flavor as well. It's definitely a hearty dish and I took half of it home for later but really hit the spot. Our server was great taking different modifications and everything turned out pretty good. I tried a bit of the stone bowl rice and souffle omelet and both were yummy. Overall solid spot for brunch in the Marina but of course with Marina prices. read more

Blackwood had very standard thai dishes. Nothing that tasted bad, but I felt like there wasn't anything here that stood out in particular. I would need to order some other menu items to find out about their other types of cuisines, but based on the one I had it felt very average. read more

We tried the Panang curry with pork, the popcorn chicken, the marina strips, and the 24 hour beef noodle soup. Popcorn chicken: I honestly felt like we could have went without this. It wasn't awful, but the chicken was a little bit dry and I felt like it was mostly breading. Marina Strips: I thought the marina ships were not bad. The beef was very tender, but the flavors were a little too strong. They use Sriracha as one of the main sauces, and it was a bit much for me. Panang Curry: I've got the Panang curry was really good. I opted with pork and everything was cooked perfectly and the flavor was fantastic. It was really good to eat with rice. 24 hour beef noodle soup: I tried a little bit of the 24 hour beef noodle soup. The soup base was very flavorful and the beef was very tender. No complaints. I came for dinner on a Saturday night around 7 PM and didn't have to wait at all. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and decorated with flowers on the walls. The staff were really nice. I would love to come back here for brunch, which is what they are known for. read more

I picked my dad up from SFO around 10am and he was craving breakfast, so I took it as the perfect opportunity to finally try Blackwood Kitchen--especially since I'd heard such great things and wanted him to enjoy a really good meal. When we walked in, the ambiance immediately stood out. The decor was gorgeous: hanging colorful florals, pink roses styled like pillars, and a beautiful mix of gold and brown tones throughout. It felt elegant, warm, and very inviting--definitely a place that makes you pause and take it all in. It was a weekday morning right before New Year's Eve, so the restaurant was empty when we arrived, which made sense with people likely out of town or at work. Once we sat down, I noticed a standing heater across from us--and quickly understood why. The space was quite cold. Our server mentioned it takes time for the heat to kick in during the mornings, so my dad and I kept our coats on while reviewing the menu. To warm us up, we ordered the Apple Pear Toddy (non-alcoholic) and it was nothing short of amazing--10/10. The burst of pear and apple flavors was perfectly balanced, comforting, and exactly what we needed to shake off the chill. It genuinely warmed us up and set the tone for the rest of the meal. To start, my dad ordered the Marina Beef Strips appetizer and really enjoyed it--9/10. The cucumber paired with the spicy beetroot sauce was flavorful with just the right kick. He's not usually a fan of spicy food, but this dish hit the mark for him. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken and waffles (8/10). The chicken was cooked perfectly and I loved the fresh berries, but the waffle leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. With the candied walnuts, syrup wasn't necessary for me. My dad also ordered the Oscar Benedict, and before even digging in, he appreciated the spinach, pimento, and capers on the side. Once everything came together--the fresh crab meat, hollandaise, and parmesan--he gave it a solid 10/10. Every bite worked beautifully. As we continued eating, more guests started to arrive, and I realized we had come in right at opening. The service was excellent--10/10. Our server checked on us multiple times, answered questions, and even complimented our menu choices, which added a nice touch and made the experience feel more engaging. Overall, this is a great spot for breakfast or brunch. The ambiance and decor alone are a 12/10, and the service was attentive and welcoming. I'd love to come back during a busier rush to see how they handle pressure, but based on this visit, they made a strong impression. One suggestion: warming the restaurant before opening--especially during the winter and rainy season--would greatly improve the guest experience. Other than that, Blackwood Kitchen is definitely worth a visit. read more

This was such a cute hidden spot in San Fransico that I visited during my girls trip. The flavoring on the chicken and waffles was delicious! The chicken was cooked with a really good crisp. Then we tried some of the Thai dishes which were really good and flavorful as well. I loved the decor in the restaurant with all of the flowers. read more

Service was excellent, staff were kind and attentive. The food was delicious. I had the green Thai chicken curry: it was fragrant, spicy, and delicately sweeten served with creamy slices of soft fried eggplant. My son had the hot pot which lived up to its name. A sizzling mound of mango chicken, vegetables, and rice topped with a fried egg. We throughly enjoyed our meal and will return. read more

Walked in Saturday for brunch around 11:30. The place was pretty packed with people but we were able to grab seats indoor with no wait. They have bottomless mimosas for $26pp. You can choose from orange and raspberry but we asked for a mixture. Everything we ordered was pretty great and the service was quick even though they were busy. I really enjoyed the soufflé eggs, the marina jok moo and the beef noodle soup. I'd say a solid 4/5. There are seats outside and inside and they are dog friendly! The place is cute and I'd recommend coming here for brunch with friends. read more

No reservations on a Sunday morning for 3, we were able to walk in and sit down right away around 11:30am. We asked for recommendations and got what our server said was popular and he would recommend. Overall the service is good, the ambiance is nice, I'm unsure I would come back simply because there are so many other great brunch spots in the city. read more

Came by on a Wednesday for a late brunch. thinterior is beautiful with high ceilings and charming décor, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I was really looking forward to trying their mango salad but was a bit disappointed to learn it's only available at dinner (and it was just 12 p.m.!). I ordered the Thai fried rice with chicken delicious, though a bit heavy on the onions. The chicken and waffles looked great but didn't quite deliver on flavor. The French toast, however, was amazing! As for the millionaire's bacon, I could've skipped that one. read more

Friendly staff. Good location. Food came out quickly. Underwhelmed by everything that was served. Waffles too sweet and grainy (sugar). Texture of waffles not crispy enough. Syrup strangely too syrup-y. Fried potatoes extremely oily. The pork roll seemed like an overcooked, under-seasoned tofu patty. Music a bit too loud and night-clubby for 9:30 in the morning. read more

The service was very good and quick and the food was good. The curry was very good but not spicy.

Delicious Thai spot! We got their tom yum noodle soup and the green curry. Loved the Thai tea cocktail too! Tom yum noodle soup was perfectly spicy, flavorful, and had a great balance of tart and spice. There was a lot of seafood, they did not hold back! Green curry is always solid, and this place is no exception. I loved the sliced eggplant on the top, it was perfectly golden brown and cooked so nicely. Service is impeccable, our waiter checked in multiple times and even asked if the spice levels we picked were good. It's a cute spot for a date, family dinner, or catchup with friends. read more

Needless to say when I visit again, I'll most likely check this spot out again. read more

The interior decor is adorable. Perfect spot for a cute brunch though we did go at dinner time. The popcorn chicken was well flavored and juicy but I did not get the Thai red spice flavor that was advertised, wish there was more of that. The ramyum was delicious though. So perfectly spicy and homey and the shrimp was so tender and well seasoned as well. Also love cabbage so great addition to have that on top. The staff was great they decorated cake for our friends for their birthday. Over all great meal and good company! read more

Great food and vibes! The braised rib was SO GOOD!! Meat fell off the bone and the sauce over it was so complimentary and flavorful. Everything paired with rice was delicious. I had tried the ahi tuna scoop and that wasn't anything particularly special, so I wouldn't get that again. Otherwise, definitely come and try the braised rib and share a Thai milk tea with friends. The tea was on the sweeter side, but I still really enjoyed it. Staff is extremely nice and attentive as well :) read more

While the food was pretty good the service left a lot to be desired. My friends and I came for a Saturday late lunch and were seated right away. We ordered and there were many mistakes: warm water was never brought out, one of the noodle dishes came out with chicken instead of pork, and the server mistakenly rang up our dinner hot stone bowl as a brunch version which didn't come with the meat we wanted. They ended up bringing the correct dishes and brought us a side of pork but by that point we were already halfway through our meal. The food was good but overpriced, the ambiance was nice though. read more

The Thai shakshuka lacked flavor and tasted pretty bland. The hot stone pot chicken had an unexpectedly strong fishy taste. On the bright side, the chicken and waffles were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The ciabatta chicken sandwich, however, was another miss--bland and unremarkable. Service was really slow, though that might've been due to the crowd. The place itself felt cramped and a bit uncomfortable. read more

This is my second time going to Blackwood and my experience is even better than last time. To start, the staff here is so sweet. They are so happy to provide recommendations if you don't know what to order - one waitress was kind enough to share me their tea brand because I liked it so much! The interior is also really aesthetic and there's a decent amount of indoor seating. For appetizers I highly recommend the Mieng Kum Kung. The prawns were so crispy and delicious + the little sauce w/ garlic on it was amazing. I can eat 20 or so of those myself. It's one of those dishes where you'd be like - can I have the last piece? I also go the Kabucha fries which are comforting if you have it with some hot tea on the side on a cold day haha. I was surprised to find that it wasn't greasy at all. For drinks, I can't give enough praise to the coconut matcha. A must have if you love coconut as it had little coconut bits in its! As for the entree, get the chef's special - Fried Chick. It's huge and comes with an amazing curry dipping sauce. The portion is big enough to be shared or you can take it home for the best leftovers of your life. People kept asking for another bite of it after I let them try a bit haha. read more

Arrived at 12:30 for lunch, somewhat of a wait even though we arrived at the time given to us on the Yelp waitlist. No prob...stood under the outdoor patio heaters! The 5 of us ordered the Hot Stonepot (one with pork wine sausage, the other with chicken/mango), Angus Beef Noodle Soup, Thai chicken noodle soup & Moco Benedict. The Stonepot dishes took a while to dig into since it was on the plate that was at least 500 degrees! Worth the wait though; spicy, flavorful and plentiful. What made this a 5-star dish was the perfect, crispy rice at the bottom; reminded me of rice in sizzling rice soup! The Moco Benedict came with two perfect, slow yolk running poached eggs and the burger Patties was flavorful, moist and definitely hand formed. The Noodle soup was flavorful and chicken was tender (breast meat too), and finally the Beef in the noodle soup was melt-in-your-mouth tender and flavorful. Broth was bomb as well! We will most definitely be back the next time we're in the City...just get here early and plan on looking for a parking space for at least 15-30 minutes...if you're lucky, esp on a Sunday when there is no metered parking enforced. read more

This place is very pretty inside - faux flowers, tall ceilings, modern styling overall. They have a few outdoor tables with heaters as well. We were seated right away and ordered brunch. The food was great - good variety and flavors. Loved the breakfast tacos and it was a very generous portion, the lemon ricotta pancakes are delicious, and the rainbow potatoes were cooked perfectly. The service was odd. It is FREEZING inside - felt like they had the air going and the door was wide open. We asked if we could be moved (sitting in puff coats) and the waitress said no and said she would close the door. 15 minutes later, we asked again and she gave us a bit of attitude and moved us saying the owners liked it when the door was open. She apologized after, but it rubbed me the wrong way. Besides that, everyone was nice and service was efficient. read more

Our group of 4 came in on a Saturday afternoon with reservations and were seated outdoors (didn't know that was an option as this was our first time there). We were sat at the same table as other patrons. The restaurant itself inside is not very big. They were very busy, and didn't seem to have enough staff working. We ordered egg rolls to start and were charged for them but never received them; when we pointed this out they did remove it from the menu. It took awhile for them to take our orders as well. Maybe close to 30 minutes. We ordered some bottomless mimosas ($26) which you do have 60 minutes to drink. This is half the time of other places, which is understandable since they're so busy, however if you're going to be strict about the time (which they were), you should probably make sure you're frequently checking in to see if a refill is needed. They also tried to say that our hour was up about 30-40 minutes after we RECEIVED our drinks. We said no, we checked the clock and that's not when our time started. Our server tried to show us the time on the receipt but just because something was ordered at that time doesn't mean it was received. Your hour should start when you receive your drink. So they did end up giving us an extra 15 minutes based off of another receipt that magically had a different time stamp on it, but when he pulled it out to show us it was all wrinkled up in a ball and he unfolded it (sketchy). It still wasn't the time we actually had the drinks on our table but we did accept that time since it was only 5 min off. The burger I got was good and the potato wedges were tasty and crispy. We also got pad see ew, a Benedict, and Panama curry; all of which was good. Overall, I wouldn't go back. There's a lot of nicer places to go to that have good food and a better ambiance. The bottomless mimosa situation also rubbed us the wrong way. read more

I recently visited for a friends birthday, and we were a very large group. As expected it was a little loud (mostly us lol), which wasn't an issue. I really liked the decor, and everyone took a lot of pictures inside + outside. I ordered the breakfast tacos that were filled with eggs, bacon, avocado, and pickled onions. I felt it lacked flavor, even with salt so maybe I'd try these with sauce. My sister had the hot stone pot which was very good. Overall, service was quick, staff was very friendly and we enjoyed our brunch. read more

Starting the year off with some deliciously looking Brunch food over at Blackwood. Our hotel was near by and we weren't looking to go somewhere too crowded and wanted something after checking out our hotel. Walked in around 10:15 and there was only 1 other party inside. So we really didn't need our reservation but glad we had one just in case. The exterior has a little patio which could be used for bigger groups as the tables were longer. While the tables inside were more designed for groups of 2 or 4. Their menu consist of traditional Thai food but with a modern twist which is always a hit for me when I try new places. I had ordered the Moco Benedict which I assumed was like a Loco Moco. But was very wrong since they used a kimchi pico de gailo along with using a sauce made from cheese pimento (Which I loved) Loved this so much that I asked for a side of the Cheese Pimento Sauce as it went beautiful with their assorted Purple, Yellow, and Sweet potatoes. They had a hint of thyme or rosemary in them that made them irresistibly delicious. (Wouldn't also just ordered this on it's own) The Thai Tea Latte was also a surprisingly new favorite of mine as I realize, I've never had a Hot Thai Tea before. Would come back for this. Overall the vibes were very nice inside and a great meal to start of 2025 read more

Stopped by Blackwood again for lunch around 1:30 PM and unfortunately left feeling pretty underwhelmed for what I paid. Beef Noodle ($26+ tax) - This was the biggest letdown. The beef had clearly been sitting in the soup way too long - it was tough and chewy, with dark edges that made me question how fresh it was. For $26+, I expected so much more! Honestly tasted like a subpar version of Vietnamese pho, but at nearly double the price you'd pay at a good pho place. Pad Thai - This was just okay. Nothing terrible, but nothing special either. Leaned too sweet for my taste, and again, overpriced for what you get. Kid's Stir Fried Noodle with Chicken - The menu wasn't clear about what type of noodles these were (turned out to be wide flat rice noodles). My niece couldn't even finish it because the chicken was so chewy. Not a great sign when even kids won't eat it! The worst part? On top of already expensive food, they charged a 6% SF Employee Benefit Mandate - the highest I've ever seen at any SF restaurant! Most places charge 4.5-5% if anything. With food prices already inflated and this hefty surcharge, there's barely any budget left for a decent tip, which seems unfair to the servers. The food quality just didn't match the prices at all. I've had much better Asian fusion at half the cost elsewhere and without excessive surcharges. Won't be returning. read more

One of my go-to brunch spots in the Marina! I've been going here since 2022 and there's always a wait but it's a pretty painless process to join the waitlist (haven't been in a hot second but remember being able to do it on Yelp). This is a fun, lively Thai fusion brunch spot and the food always hit. Some favorites: ** Thai Shakshuka which is very hearty and tomatoey. It comes out piping hot and I always gobble it up. ** Blackstone benedict: Really delicious poached eggs on candied bacon, accompanied by crispy rainbow potatoes. A sweet and savory medley. ** Chicken mango stonepot: A really big nontraditional stonepot rice with chicken mango sausage. On the sweet side, so it's great to split with a friend. Comes with a tangy spicy sauce ** Thai Iced tea: they have a lot of cool flavored drinks, very aesthetic -- but the thai iced tea is always delicious and creamy and a perfect pairing for the food The waiters are always friendly and it's generally a good vibe here to bring friends, family, or anyone really. read more

The staff was super sweet in seating us on a busy Sunday brunch. The food was a bit heavy for my taste but still quite delicious. The interior is SO beautiful! FOOD [4/5] ========= + French Toast (4/5) Delectable goodness. A bit too sweet and fried for my taste, but it's a really great order if you don't think about the healthiness. :P + Hot Stone Pot (4.5/5) Really amazing portion size for the price. Also a good ratio of meat and veggies to rice! I thought that this was really well-flavored with a slight spicy kick. + Ahi Scoops (4/5) These were a pretty cute appetizer! I thought the ahi didn't taste exceptionally fresh for some reason and the flavor wasn't too developed, which is why the rating is a bit lower. But I really liked how much seaweed salad there was and the portion size is good for the price! Overall Blackwood was a pretty good experience for brunch in SF. Would definitely recommend that Hot Stone Pot, but I would experiment with the other dishes we ordered if I were to come back again! read more
