In a not so good part of town, Tenderloin aka TL, sits Lers Ros nestled between crackheads and junkies. Despite its sketchy surroundings, the 4 of us ventured there on a weekday around noon for lunch. We went around the block a few times, but managed to find parking right across the street. Good thing too, at least we won't lose sight of our car while eating! Inside the restaurant, we were transported into a modern interior with simple, clean aesthetics--a safe haven from the rough exteriors of TL. There was only one guy doing it all for the front of the house. He sat us down, took our order, and served us. He also kept our glasses filled with iced water. Only a few tables were occupied, but he also had orders for delivery. One busy guy! *** OUR PICKS *** THAI CURRY PUFFS ~ delicate pastry holding delicious yellow curry filling! Really enjoyed this dish. It was my favorite out of the starters we had. 5/5 THAI HERB SAUSAGE ~ items to be eaten with the sliced sausages: lettuce, lemon slices, peanuts, sliced red onions, and thin julienne slices of ginger. When you put everything together in a lettuce leaf, it brings a unique combination of flavors. Such an amazing and interesting way to eat sausages! 5/5 GRILLED PORK SHOULDER SALAD ~ lots of flavor in the pork. Actually a bit too salty for us. I think they need to add more greens to balance and mellow out the savory pork. There was some cabbage but in big chunks. Maybe if it was thinly shredded, it would have helped. 3.5/5 COMBO SPECIAL YELLOW CURRY CHICKEN, EGGPLANT & TOFU ~ I didn't try this dish as it was a friend's individual lunch plate. She enjoyed this dish, but took most of it home. 4/5 COMBO SPECIAL, BBQ CHICKEN, SPICY SHRIMP IN RED CURRY ~ I didn't try the whole dish as I'm not into really spicy foods. But I did try the BBQ chicken because it wasn't spicy. The basting sauce on the chicken was sweet and savory. Generous amount of tasty chicken was given. 4/5 CRISPY PORK BELLY WITH BASIL ~ our friend had this dish and felt there wasn't enough basil flavor. He was a bit disappointed and rated it a 3/5. DRY TOM YUM NOODLES ~ The highlight of this dish was the roast pork with crispy skin! Medium spiced when you mix all the seasonings with the noodles. I asked for mild, but I don't think it was possible to lessen the spices without taking away Tom Yum flavor. Very tasty! 4.5/5 It was a hit and miss with some of their dishes, but for the most part, we enjoyed our experience at Lers Ros and would come back again when the craving hits!

Pork Tom Yum Noodle Soup
Austin W.

My friends and I stopped by Lers Ros around 8:00 p.m. on a Friday evening and the restaurant was pretty empty. Although we came in a large party of six, we were seated immediately. My wife and I shared two entrees -- the tom yum soup and a fried chicken over fried rice. Food came quickly after we placed our order. With the fried chicken over fried rice dish, the fried chicken was incredibly juicy; I'm certain chicken thigh was the cut that was used. However, although the breading was crispy, it was slightly oily and actually separated from the chicken when picked up with chopsticks. The fried rice is really well done here. Each grain of rice is nicely separated, there are small pieces of fried egg distributed throughout, and it is overall well-seasoned. I thought the tom yum soup here was just average. It's not overly sour nor spicy, it's got a generous portion of rice noodles, and there's a pretty standard amount of toppings in the bowl, including pork meatballs, bean sprouts, ground pork, and fish cakes. I believe I've had more complex, more herbaceous tom yum broths elsewhere. Overall, Lers Ros was a 4-star experience for me. Although the food is closer to 3.5, the good value you get with the large portions for the price and the friendly, attentive service makes up for it.

Really yummy! I loved their coconut soup and the Pad Thai was also delicious :) The service was nice, some crime scene happened outside though...

Grilled Beef Salad
Willy T.

I ate here on a Saturday afternoon. My brother ate at a sister restaurant once before so we went to try this location as a family. There were a lot of homeless people outside and I felt bad for this business. It was pretty empty but a lot of delivery orders were being fulfilled. We ordered black pepper beef, pad see ew with beef, fish cake, hot and sour soup with chicken, grilled beef salad and chili paste eel. We wanted to order the alligator but they ran out. They also ran out of venison that day so we got eel instead. The interior is very nice and clean. The walls have motivation quotes on them. Tables are moveable so large parties can combine them to sit together. Our food started coming after 10 minutes and slowly trickled in. The soup came first and was nice and comforting, albeit simple. The fish cake is good. It has a nice chew and flavorful aroma. The grilled beef was a bit chewy but had good flavor and crust. The eel was not up my alley. It was bitter and had too many bones to be enjoyable. It was not worth eating in my opinion. The pad we ew was excellent. It was flavored well. Our black pepper beef was forgotten but they gave it to us before we left. It was tender but didn't taste that good because it was too salty. My favorite dishes were the pad see ew and the grilled beef salad.

This place has always been my favorite. The people are so sweet. The food is always so good and so clean. Love it

Thai Coconut Soup
Melody L.

Visited Ler Ros in the Tenderloin on a Friday night and was surprised to find the dining room pretty quiet, even though they were busy with lots of takeout orders. We started with the papaya salad, which came out much spicier than the mild we requested. It was fresh and vibrant, just far hotter than expected. We also ordered the pork shoulder, which had good flavor but was unfortunately quite chewy. The crispy catfish was the highlight of the meal, perfectly fried with a light crunch and a flavorful sauce that brought everything together. We had the Tom Kha Kai as well, comforting and aromatic with a nice balance of coconut, lemongrass, and lime. Overall, it's a good spot for Thai comfort food.

Robbie S.

Best Padseewu I've ever had. Very very good. . I highly recommend this place just for the Thai food. Place isn't much to look at and very casual dress.

Clean bar back area

Came into town last night to see a show at the Great American Music Hall, and stopped by Lers Ros for a quick bite to eat and some drinks before the show. It's right in the middle of the chaos that is the Tenderloin, but if you can stomach wading through the endless sea of downtrodden humanity, encampments, dog poo, and drug use, this is a nice spot to eat. Once you enter the front doors, you are instantly transported to a world of tranquility, good food, and excellent service. The restaurant is quite big, with minimal decor, keeping the focus on service, food, and simplicity. It has a nice bar with seating for 6 with a natural wood top and bar stools. The center of the restaurant is a long banquet table for parties of 12+ The rest of the restaurant has well-spaced, clean, and simple tables for two or four, and everything is bright, airy, and neat. Background music is soft, and unobtrusively loud, allowing for quiet conversation & relaxation. The walls are simple, with just some murals with quotes and information about their history, philosophy, mission statement & influences. It was all clean, simple, and made for interesting reading. We ordered: fresh coconut milk, jasmine tea, rice, cashew nut tofu, and silver noodle salad to keep things lite and healthy for the night ahead. The $8 coconut milk was very fresh, and quite large enough to justify the high price. It was cold, refreshing, and tasty! The silver noodle salad was a bit complicated to eat, with huge chunks of cabbage that should have been cut up to blend in better. The lime marinade ended up pooling at the bottom of the dish, so it didn't really mix in well with the other ingredients, so you had to spoon it out and pour it over your serving. The noodles were too long and were difficult to eat with a fork, chopsticks & slurping them would have been better. The cashew nut tofu was very good & it was very plentiful in tofu, cashew nuts, and chili peppers. Not overly spicy, but just right. The amount of food that we got for $40 was perfect, and everything tasted very good & fresh. My only criticism was that it was served in a way that made it difficult to eat with a fork, cutting things up into more manageable pieces would have been much better. Service was stellar. The three nice Thai waitresses hustled around the entire restaurant incessantly during a busy Tuesday night dinner rush. They were attentive, polite, demure, and professional. The kept the water refilled, brought out new clean plates, and explained the menu very well. Had a good meal here last night. This is one of the stand out places that I've eaten at in the Tenderloin. It is clean, peaceful, and has a nice atmosphere inside. I really liked the minimalistic decor, which lent to focusing solely on food & service. Everything that we ate & drank was fresh, tasty, and fairly inexpensive. My only criticism was how the food was served, it made it difficult to eat with a fork. Ingredients were too big and could've been cut smaller, or, we could have been given chopsticks or a knife. But, I would come back here again to try out some noodle or rice or soup dishes, maybe I'll just bring my own utensils. This is a nice food oasis in an area that isn't so nice!

Caili C.

Really solid spot for Thai food. We came by after our initial dinner plans fell through and I didn't expect much from Lers Ros as it was empty when we visited for Saturday dinner but the food turned out to be really great! The menu is huge so it was hard deciding what to order but we ended up getting the raw shrimp salad, grilled beef salad, thai herb sausage, and pineapple fried rice. We got medium spice for everything and it was just perfect! First, the raw shrimp salad was so flavorful with lime, lemongrass, chili and garlic. Don't be turned off by raw shrimp, it really just adds to the freshness and it's a great way to start the meal. Next, the beef salad and thai herb sausage. Loved the Northern-style sausage, especially with the lemon pieces and the beef salad was solid as well but the beef itself was a bit chewy. Finally the pineapple fried rice - I haven't had it in a while but they make it really well here and the veggie, tofu, egg option is a great way to get in more veggies. The cooked pineapple was really sweet and the portion is large enough to share between 3-4 people! Lers Ros is a fairly unassuming restaurant but has really great flavors, would definitely come here again despite the not so great location near the tenderloin.

pad see ew, crispy chicken over fried rice
Michelle Z.

Got takeout from here and it was honestly pretty good! The pad see ew had great flavor and was super satisfying. The pork could have been in smaller pieces but I liked the flavor (it was thinner pork rather than thicker slices I usually see at other thai spots). The portion was smaller than expected though for $18. I also tried the crispy chicken over fried rice and the rice was yummy! I didn't love the flavor of the crispy chicken, and because it was takeout, it wasn't super crispy anymore. The portion of rice was a lot bigger than the pad see ew which I appreciated.

Pad see ew
Akansha P.

I really liked this restaurant. I'm always a big fan of Thai food (granted I ordered the same 3-5 things everytime). This time I got the Pad See Ew, Green Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice. The pad see ew was good but definitely could have used more spice to add a kick to it. The green curry was AMAZING. I really really liked it and will definitely order more in the future. It was spicy and punchy and tasted great. This was my first time ever getting mango sticky rice and I personally enjoyed it. The service was good and the restaurant had a good vibe. We were in a corner table off to the side so didn't really get a strong feel for the restaurant's ambiance, but were able to people watch from the window. Overall, I'd get their green curry again and try the pad see ew after asking for it to be a bit spicier.

Jon L.

The Lers Ros empire has arguably the most authentic Thai cuisine in SF and this is the OG location that started it all. Not the most pleasant neighborhood in the pandemic aftermath but more unique dishes make the trek worth it. Yes they have the standard Thai dishes like the traffic light curries and pad thai, but I love the noodle soups here. Boat noodles, kuay jub, beef tendon noodles, and the roast duck noodles. All savory and herbaceous deliciousness that bring me right back to Bangkok. If food is all that matters, Lers Ros for Thai is solid all around.

Pad Thai
Sumi K.

While the service was fast and the staff was decently nice, the food itself did not taste particularly fresh or flavorful. One of my pet peeves with pad Thai or pad see ew is when the noodles stick together, indicating that they must've been cooked in advance instead of fresh to order. Other than that I wish both dishes had more seasoning.

We had just had a lovely time at another participating business (Beehive) and planned on Arcana being our final stop. Thankfully I was able to use the restroom without a fee, with my gear held up outside by the security team. While waiting in the restroom line, I told a staff member about all this, and the worker seemingly went up to the front to find out what's going on. The line took a few minutes, my friends also bumped into me, and I told them I'd likely wait for them outside the business post-restroom while they finished their wine. Already reported to the Mayor's Office. Maybe I'll add BBB. Should be honest and equitable! Four out of 200+ reviews by me have been one star, so I rarely share negativity. It's all rather unfortunate as other visits here went off without an issue. I warned a group of four about all this while I waited out front, and after talking to the front door folks, they left and thanked me for the advice. Please be careful if you visit here. . . .

When people said they found one of the best breakfast burritos at Bodega I first thought they must not be from San Francisco and they must be somewhere in Eastern United States where they call any corner store a Bodega.

I then thought the most of these best breakfast burritos are in the Mission District. I finally got to find out it's a bar called Bodega North Beach which sells breakfast burritos only on Saturday mornings. On a Fall stroll on a sunny morning I landed at the North Beach a pickle ball throw away from Washington Square Park and lots of restaurants with Angel hair pasta. There was no inside in the morning because it's all to go orders. I decided to try their chorizo and sausage breakfast burritos. The sausage breakfast sausage with avocado ,eggs, and a bit flakey potatoes like some in SF. The chorizo breakfast burrito was savory but a bit tangier and the sauce enhanced the burrito flavor. It's one of the top breakfast burrito in SF but it's a worthy contender and easily a top ten in the city. Wish it was more cheesy like some in SF. San Francisco is a city is small in size but when it comes to restaurants it packs a punch that's "mega "there is always good food from Chestnut street to Van Ness to Irving and "Noriega" which is a block away from a street called " Ortega" but you won't find this salsa in a jar because their salsa is made in house at a bar which sells good breakfast burritos on the avenue of Columbus called "Bodega" Bodega North Beach is located a few blocks where Bruce Lee ( RIP) was born who also played on TV the character "Kato " if you go to North Beach in SF you will find dozens of restaurants that offer Angel hair and fettuccine "Alfredo"the breakfast burrito at Bodega has a bit of egg ,avocado, and "potato" and a hint of "tomato "
