    Wings
    Jolens V.

    I was looking for the Angel Wings that had stuffing inside. Their version was fried chicken wings with basil and some kind of a sauce that was tangy and slightly spicy.,The Roti was flat and crispy. It was a little greasy.,Server was really polite snd helpful. The place is kinda old. I went here a long time ago and it is still the same. The place is clean and quiet .

    Pad Ma Kuer (Sautéed Eggplant) ~ $15.95

    We were looking for a place to eat on Irving Street that didn't have a wait on a Sunday afternoon and decided to eat at Marnee Thai. The staff greeted us happily and welcomed us in. We ordered the Northern Thai Tea Leaf Salad, Panang Beef, Pad Prig Khing with beef, Thai Style Fried Rice, and Chicken Pad Thai. The food was pretty good. The Thai Tea Leaf salad was more saucy than the Burmese style, but still good. I thought our waitress was going to mix the salad for us, as she started to use the forks to mix, but then she was just checking to see if the tomatoes were in there, and then walked away. The chicken pad Thai was good. Pad Prig Khing is beef and string beans sautéed with hot chili paste. You can substitute the protein option. It was really good. Panang Beef is chunks of beef cooked in a curry sauce with coconut milk and Thai basil. It was served with a side of plain broccoli. We liked the Thai Style Fried Rice because of the duck and pineapple, which we selected. The duck pieces were a little fatty, but duck is fatty in general. Overall, we had a good lunch at Marnee Thai. Just a note - the price of the Pad Prig Khing was higher on the bill than what was listed on the menu. The restaurant was a little dark a bit old, but the restaurant has been around for decades, and was just fine to dine in.

    I forgot the name of the noodle but it is so flavorful, really good. The papaya salad was food and the fried rice too. Really recommend the food - the flavor is immaculate! Nice staff as well. The thai tea was ok.

    Stir-Fried Stewed Pork Belly I'm pretty sure this was the name of this dish is absolutely delicious

    My son used to frequent Marnee Thai 2 on 9th Avenue with his friends over ten years ago, but he stopped going after his best friend Mikey passed away. I can only imagine how painful that must have been. Today, after some doctor's appointments, he brought me here--and instead of feeling sad, it became a lovely memory of Mikey. It was my first time dining here, and it definitely won't be my last. Everything was absolutely delicious!

    Imperial Rolls
    Connie L.

    The food tasted really good, maybe even better than my usual, King of Thai Noodles. The soup has decent amount of shrimp and is medium spicy, maybe just too spicy for my stomach. Similar to their curry, certain curry only comes in medium and hot, they can't make it "mild", so be careful when ordering. I really like their shrimp rolls , petite and heavy in shrimps, fried not too deep but enough for a crisp taste. Next time, I will try their Thai fried rice and dessert Roti. The ambiance looks good but this is for my UberEats takeout so I can't comment on their service or ambiance. Thanks!

    Tom yum with shrimp
    Stacie V.

    Love the elevated wood ceilings. The food was delicious and flavorful. Quick service with barely anyone on a Sunday night. We ordered the Tom yum soup with shrimp, pad kaprow with roasted duck, Kang Keaw with chicken. Even though they were rated "mild", my low spice tolerance could barely handle the dishes. I didn't try the curry, but my friends loved it and ordered an extra side of rice for it.

    Imperial Rolls Chicken Satay
    Alli W.

    Marnee Thai has been around forever, and it's a staple in the neighborhood. Dinner time on the weekends usually gets busy so plan accordingly. Ambiance: Dimmed lights, moderate to loud diners but has a homey feel. Food: Been dining here for years and don't recall a dish missing the mark. Chicken satay - Generous size of chicken and grilled so perfectly-- their peanut sauce does lack a bit of depth but it does the job. Imperial rolls - Usually a favorite as it has a variety of meat and is crispy on the outside. Red curry with chicken - GENEROUS amount of chicken in here. Pretty spicy and goes very well with some rice. Flavor is soooo good. Pad kee mao - Very fragrant and delicious. Oily but that makes the dish not dry!! Fried rice with duck - Not as generous with chicken in other dishes but the duck meat to skin ratio is perfect. Not so much on the meat either. Would recommend and keep coming back!

    Jessica L.

    Ordered the gai samoon prai, pad ginger chicken, eggplant beef, curry chicken, pad thai, and pad see ew. Very known restaurant older since at least 1990s. Very friendly service. Bathroom behind kitchen. Gai samoon prai- lemongrass peppercorn dish with chicken. Chef special interesting taste a little tangy and sour Ginger chicken- not bad refreshing bell pepper sauce seems to be a black pepper base lots of fresh ginger slices on top Eggplant beef - soft good flavor. Also a salt and pepper base sauce. Pad Thai- a but spicy. Shrimp jumbo shrimp crunchy and soft food fresh taste. Solid pad Thai dish 8.5/10 Pad se ew- wide flat noodle very smooth. Another pepper sauce base but lighter and not over powering. Chicken curry - light coconut curry taste a bit of a watered down flavor. Not that bad.

    Green mango salad

    I found this spot in Irving when I was staying in SF for a month while working nearby. They were generous and kind even though I was a single diner. I eventually brought my significant other here, and now it's our favorite Thai spot in the city for the atmosphere, food, and warmth of the staff. We absolutely love the angel tofu/angel chicken wings, the Thai tea, and all of the desserts! All the curries are good as well. Certainly worth trying if you're in the area, and the Golden Gate Park is nearby to walk off the calories afterwards too.

    Basa Fillet with fresh Garlic Pepper sauce
    Norma M.

    On our way to wine country, we were passing by DTSF around early dinner time, and I remembered that Marnee was one of the best thai restaurants last time I was in the SFO area about 15 years ago. While this was not the location that a friend of mine introduced us to, we were highly-satisfied with 2 of the 3 dishes that we ordered. The Spicy Angel Wings with their signature chili-garlic/tamarind sauce and the Basa Fillet with garlic pepper sauce were very good. I highly recommend those but the roti was just ok.

    Pad Kee Mao w/roasted duck - wide rice noodles, chili, garlic, tomatoes, and stringbeans
    Donovan H.

    Interestingly enough and much to my surprise, San Francisco is not really known for their Siamese/Thai food. In fact, when I go onto the Yelp app and search for an above average Thai restaurant in the city, very few places actually show up. Reason being is simply because this city is heavily saturated with some amazing Dim Sum, Japanese, Vietnamese, and dozens upon dozens of award-winning Chinese restaurants. However, paying a visit to "Marnee Thai" just might change my perspective of how amazing this place was. Located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco, this restaurant is situated directly on Irving St. and tucked in between 23rd & 24th Ave while only being a couple blocks away from Golden Gate Park. This is actually their original location as they also have a 2nd location (also in the Inner Sunset) that is on 9th Ave and close to Lincoln Way. Parking can be a challenge with the vast amount of businesses and boutiques surrounding this area. My lady and I came during the evening of Friday 11/29/2024 at around 5:25pm. The hours of operation are Wednesday through Monday from 11:30am-8:30pm while being closed on Tuesday. As soon as my lady and I walked in, it was very warm, cozy, and inviting. The interior layout showcases a distinctive A-frame roof design complete with wood paneling throughout. In fact, this place has a very strong Thailand presence to it as the artwork and walls looked as if we were dining out in Bangkok and not San Francisco. And even though we came during dinnertime on a Friday evening, there was no wait as we were seated by the hostess immediately. Since I already knew what I wanted, I settled with their "Pad Kee Mao"; this consisted of roasted duck, wide rice noodles, chili, garlic, tomatoes, and string beans. My lady went with the "Pad Se-Ew" which is one of the more popular Thai dishes; she chose chicken as her protein of choice. Her dish had a blend of pan-fried wide rice noodles, soy beans, broccoli, and scrambled eggs. And as a trademark of every Thai restaurant I visit, I went with their "Thai Iced Tea". Both of our meals arrived in around 8 minutes; very quick turnaround time. And best of all, our dishes were piping hot. I absolutely loved the seasoned, tender, and flavorful bits of my roasted duck as they were very generous with the meat portion. Since I do not like spicy, they were able to make it with a more milder chili flavor. It hit the spot in every way possible. All of the ingredient with the wide noodles had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I also tried some of her Pad Se-Ew and that too was top notch. Even my Thai iced tea had the perfect amount of tea without being overbearingly sweet. Again, the service and quality of food was excellent while not being too expensive. All in all, I loved "Marnee Thai" as this will be a future staple restaurant for my lady and I. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

I got crispy calamari which was perfectly crunchy and delicious. I love the inner texture that blended so well with the crispy texture. For my main dish, I got Pad See You Chicken. It was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly soft. It was savory and slightly sweet. I asked for chili oil because I love spice, and wow, that was GOOD. If you're going to do that, do add a small bit of oil, it's really spicy. The chicken was tender which was such a good blend. Their Thai Iced Tea is so good and creamy. They serve it in a huge ice ball! It was pretty cool and unique. The person who served us was very kind and welcoming. I loved his energy, I wish I got his name.

I only knocked the restaurant down by a star because the servers were pretty pushy with wanting us to leave despite the multitude of empty tables around us. Besides that, the food is really delicious. The papaya salad is amazing if you like spice! There was a great kick and acidity to the papaya salad distributed throughout the fresh vegetables in the dish. I highly recommend! The pumpkin fries were also a great choice: crispy fry with soft pumpkin inside, maintaining the overall pumpkin flavor profile. The sauce they provide on the side (sweet and sour plum sauce), cut through the fry but didn't overwhelm the pumpkin itself. For myself, I got the yellow curry with chicken. The curry dishes do not come with rice, so you will have to order that on the side. The curry is not only a generous portion, but FULL of ingredients. They do not skimp on the meat, potatoes, etc. Highly recommend trying Farmhouse Kitchen for some flavorful Thai dishes!

We ate quickly and boxed the rest so they could get home. What we ordered: Tom Kha soup - coconutty, creamy, a lil sour and a lil spice. Delicious. Fresh rolls - crisp and springy with lots of greens and tofu and a good peanut sauce to dip. Crispy pork belly sweet basil - the CRISP and flavor of this pork belly was to die for. Chicken larb - this was my favorite dish of the night. Heavy basil/herbs, just a little kick from the chilies, full on flavor explosion. I will be thinking of this dish for a long time haha. Beef Pad See Ew - chewy in the most delicious and favor packed way. Love pad see ew and this one was great! Pad cha scallop - Came out sizzling on a cast iron! This dish was fun and the scallops while small, were fresh and had lots of flavor. And finally, for dessert we ordered the black rice durian. It was all three of us' first time trying Durian and we loved it! Creamy and a little funky but the black rice and sauce emphasized its natural sweetness.

We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

Spiced well and very filling. We didn't expect the pork to be cut so large and mixed into the rice, but it was very tender and easy to still eat. We would've expected the pork to be sliced maybe in half or fourths to make the dish feel like a "pork fried rice" than a fried rice + pork mix, but it still worked well and if you love pork, this will definitely be your fix! 5/5 - Pad Thai - We thought the restaurant nailed this classic noodle dish. Filling portions and did not overcook their noodles. You can taste each component of the dish, which speaks to everything not being under or overcooked.
