    Pad Ma Kuer (Sautéed Eggplant) ~ $15.95
    Jean S.

    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.

    We went to the SF museum and walked a few blocks down to eat here. It's a small restaurant with booth/ table seating. They get busy at lunch. We were sat quickly. We ordered their spicy ángel wings as a starter, then coconut rice noodle, crispy oven baked pork belly, a side of cucumber salad and for dessert their taro sticky rice. All was delish and flavorful, my favorite were the coconut rice noodle and taro dessert.

    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!

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    Imperial Rolls Chicken Satay

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    The minute I saw interior pictures on Yelp, I knew I had to come here; every restaurant with good…read moredecor takes their food more seriously, and I was not disappointed. I came on Sunday around 5:30, and was seated immediately. The steady influx/outflux of customers never made it seem too quiet, even though only half the restaurant was utilized. If you decide to come here, I recommend avoiding the Thai staples like Pad Thai and Tom Yum, and ordering at least 1 dish from the "From the Chef" section. This place feels more authentic with more unique offerings compared to your regular run of the mill Thai place (they are mostly government sponsored anyways). I ordered a Papaya salad (Som Tum Poo Pla), a Shrimp Paste Fried Rice, and Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly. For starters, the Papaya salad with a bigger price tag is not for the faint of heart. There is a load of fish sauce, and combined with anchovies, makes for an...acquired dish. I was told by my server that it's pretty authentic, but it's a little too authentic and reminds me of Natto or Beijing tofu juice. The Shrimp Paste Fried rice is a must order; the spread is very instagram worthy and gives me vague paella vibes in terms that it's shareable and good for parties 2-4. I did not see this dish at other Thai restaurants I've been to, so I'd consider pretty unique. Just be mindful that it's on the sweeter side, and the chilis on the side are very, very spicy, so allocate accordingly. The Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly was by far the star of the show. The skin was super crispy, and the pork itself was super tender, melt in your mouth feeling. The flavors and seasonings were perfect, with just a hint of basil to elevate the entire taste. A true adventure for the taste buds, and a must order as a shareable. Service was super friendly, and my waiter answered all my questions with a smile, and even gave us his recommendations since we wanted to stray away from the basic thai food orders. This place is a must come to if you're looking for true authentic Thai food from a chef that has pride in his work. I can't wait to come back to try their other unique dishes!

Good noodle texture and flavor. - Saap Wings--salty and yummy. We also individually ordered Hot ginger tea, Coconut Water, and Thai iced tea. Would be back!

The crispy rolls were vegetarian and came with a side of sweet chili dipping sauce. It was a standard roll, nothing to complain about but not something I would go out of my way for. Papaya salad was fresh and came with lettuce leaves as well. A solid app to split with a small group. I didn't try the drunken noodles as the group wanted beef in it, but I heard it was good. We decided to get tofu as the protein for the pad see ew, and it definitely hit the spot. However, I'd say the choo chee salmon was the winner.

It's on the ground floor of the Parc 55 hotel in San Francisco, with the entrance on the corner of Ellis and Madison. I took BART in, and it's a short walk from Powell St. Station, which made things easy. If you're driving, be ready for the usual San Francisco parking challenge. One quirk worth knowing: the restroom is in the hotel lobby, and you'll need to grab a key card from the hostess to get in. The space itself is clean and simply decorated - nothing flashy, but comfortable. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. I started with the mushroom hor mok, then had the pad kee mao at medium spicy for my entree. Everything was delicious - plenty of umami depth and a solid, well-judged level of heat. On the drink side, the Tom Yum 2.0 cocktail was spectacular, with really excellent balance and a nice tart edge. I also tried the Koh Kood, which was good but didn't have quite the same wow factor as the Tom Yum 2.0. On value: it's expensive for Thai food, but everything in the city runs higher, so in that context I'd call it a good value. That said, if you've got a go-to local Thai spot you already love, the price point here might be a tougher sell by comparison. I was flying solo this visit, but this feels like a spot best enjoyed with a group, ordering family style so you can work through more of the menu. Overall, a great experience and one I'd recommend for a group outing where everyone's comfortable sharing dishes.

The restaurant was decently booked and we sat inside. Now for what my partner and I ordered! Unfortunately nothing called to me strongly so I went with the very basic choice of 2 eggs plate with ciabatta toast and rainbow potatoes. I added in chicken sausage for $3. 5/10: The toast was unbuttered and honestly tasted stale. The potatoes were nice and crispy, but unsalted and quite plain. The eggs were nice, I got mine scrambled. Sausages were okay, I think I actually ended up with the pork sausages rather than chicken. My plate was $26 and I can confidently say it is not worth close to that unfortunately. Brussel Florentine Benedict 6/10: My partner was intrigued by the ton yum hollandaise sauce. There was a hint of it which was nice. Benedicts were okay, nothing special. Coconut oat matcha 8/10: On the sweeter side, but enjoyable! I liked the toasted coconut pieces on top and thought it was a nice drink. Premium matcha wise, I don't agree necessarily, but hey it was an enjoyable drink. Drip coffee 0/10: My partner loves a drip coffee and not in a snobby way. From diner coffee to honestly plain old regular slightly brunt coffee, thats her jam. This coffee was just burnt. Not sure what happened but it was $5 for a completely bitter cup of burnt coffee. Not great. Fun side note: As we were ordering the table next to us called attention to their dish as their waffle was completely undercooked and tasted bitter. The wait staff was apologetic about it, but seemed to either not understand or insist it was "too sweet" not undercooked or bitter. The table was very polite about it so honestly it was not the best look for the restaurant. It was simply feedback and I don't believe it was taken very well. Regardless, just a fun note to throw in! We will not be back unfortunately. There are many lovely brunch spots and restaurants around the city and sadly I don't think this one is worth a try just because of the cost for the quality, but I always tell myself its always worth to try in case you do think differently!

    Cozy ambience that's great for meetups and long hangouts to chat and catch up. The staff was very…read morekind and the service was decently fast. The interior is well decorated with Thai culture and with the darker tones of the design, it makes the restaurant feel quite fancy. 4.5/5 - Crispy Pork (Moo Krop) Fried Rice - Very savory fried rice dish. 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. We ordered nuts on the side but you would be quite satisfied ordering this if you like pad thai! 4.5/5 - Pad Gra Prow - Appropriate veggie to beef proportion and very flavorful. Minced well and great to complement with your carb dishes (noodle or rice). We thought the dish was slightly oily but it feels well absorbed when eaten with our pad thai. If you have tried the dish before and would like it, this will be satisfactory!

    I'm giving this place a solid 3.5 Stars so I rounded up to 4…read more I would have rated it higher but they brought my entree out 10 minutes before the rest of the food including our appetizer! So that sucked. 1st let's admire my Thai Ice Tea. This was so adorable & I felt bad drowning him in my tea ha 2nd - my co-worker said this was the 2nd best Pad Thai he's ever had. They grill the tofu so it's got some crunch to it. Which totally elevates the Pad Thai. My Panang Curry with duck was excellent! Decent amount of duck just a few bones. Great little kick on the spice BUT not so spicy that it makes you regret life choices! Delicious will order again. The only thing I'd complain about is that my rice wasn't sticky. I prefer stickier rice - but this rice is perfect if you don't have a preference. I don't want fully unwashed mush but I like a little more starch. My other co-worker ordered Roasted duck over rice - he said it was tasty & would order again. We did order chicken satay and the chicken had good flavor BUT the peanut sauce was just ok. I'd order it again to see if it was just an off day for the sauce. It's a small restaurant & filled quickly at lunch. Many Asians eating there which told me it would be good. Restrooms were slippery so be careful but clean. Overall I would come again!
