I made reservations online about a week in advance for my friend's birthday. Oraan Thai Eatery is located in the Richmond district, so street parking is possible (with a nonzero chance!) Our server was attentive with frequent water refills and clearing the plates as soon as we were done with them. The inside of the restaurant is nice and neat, very spacious seating and tables that can fit many dishes on them. We ordered a bunch of dishes family style and all were reasonably priced and tasty. The standout for me was the Gai Manow- In the nicest way possible, it can only be described as an elevated chicken nugget. It's nostalgic and new at the same time, would recommend. They do the classics (like pad thai and yellow curry) really well, everything having strong flavors and identities. read more

Everything was so salty. In Japanese there's a term called "shio-karai" which means salty spicy. It's so salty that it feels spicy. That's how it felt to us. We got: Som tum pla raa: 1/5 blue crab was extremely salty. Papaya was also extremely salty. No flavor other than the salt, the cabbage helped. Hai manow: 2/5 also salty. Unfortunately don't remember much other than how salty everything was. We came here without reservation on a Sunday night and they accommodated us quickly. I forget which items we wanted to order though and I do remember they were out of those, so I'd go early! read more

Delicious and creative food menu! I want to go back to try their other dishes and desserts. Nuer Marakot - (9/10) our favorite dish. The meat was so tender and well balanced! Salty, slightly sweet and tangy flavor profile. I really liked the sauce they paired with the meat. Som tum pla raa - (6.5/10) Papaya salad with raw blue crab. Decent overall and glad I tried it once but not sure I'd get it again. The raw crab was a bit too salty/intense for my taste and overpowered the salad Water Chestnut jelly with coconut ice cream - (7/10) loved the texture of the chestnut jelly! Towards the end the flavor felt a bit flat/tiring but definitely would get again if sharing with a group Longan juice - (9/10) I loved this drink! I was so happy to see actual longan fruit in the drink. The drink itself was delicious, not too strong but you could still taste the longan flavor. read more

Fast friendly service, casual ambiance...came on Friday night for party of 3 and was seated with no wait...ordered the deep fried chicken patty with lime cream sauce (good, different, not seem on any other Thai menu), fish cake ( ok, good cucumber sauce that saved the otherwise unassuming appetizer), tamarind prawns (don't be fooled by the appearance, all shell and less edible meat than tiger prawns..over fried and dried that even drenched in tamarind sauce could not salvage)...egg noodle with chicken curry (the only dish that was notable...curry flavor spot on) $120 for 3 ppl pricey underwhelming Thai food..nah, pass on this... read more

Been wanting to try this spot for so long so I'm glad I finally got to go! The gai manow is definitely worth the hype and is as good as it looks. Crispy chicken that's also tender and juicy on the inside with a delicious citrusy cream sauce and the most addicting crispy chinese broccoli! An amazing combo and super unique. I liked the sukho thai noodle as well but felt the flavor was too limey for me at first, though it grew on me as I ate more. The crispy pork is great and there's a large variety of toppings which was fun. I thought the pad keemao was just okay and too spicy (even though we got mild) -- maybe I just prefer pad see ew more. Service was amazing and super attentive! They replaced our plates between the apps and mains which was a nice touch and our water was refilled constantly. Vibe inside is also cozy and nicely decorated. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu. read more

I have always wanted to come in, but somehow never did. Today, my friend and I decided on Thai after a workout at the gym. We both fancied the food and think it might be one of the best Thai places in the city. It gives u flavors, style, and presentation. We all had a great time with all the food. We ordered two dishes to share. They were both amazing, and the crispy pork belly was definitely the dish of the day. People here are nice. Will be back! read more

Oraan Thai Eatery has a nice vibe. The space feels cozy and calm, making it a great spot for a relaxed date night or catching up with friends. Service was great overall. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We didn't order all the menu highlights, but we still enjoyed trying a variety of dishes. Some were definite standouts, while others were just okay. What we liked: Crispy Eggplant - really good, nicely fried and flavorful Grilled Pork Shoulder - very good, well-cooked and satisfying Gai Manow (Chicken Patty) - large portion and well made Tamarind Prawns - good balance of flavors Papaya Salad - refreshing and helped cut through the heavier dishes Just okay / misses: Tofu Pad Thai - way too sweet and tart for our taste Pad See Ew - fine, but nothing memorable Green Curry Ribeye Steak - just okay, didn't stand out Overall, a pleasant experience with great service and a comfortable atmosphere. Not every dish hit, but there were enough solid plates to make me open to coming back and trying more of the menu. read more

The staff were very nice, attentive and professional. What a great cozy place in the cold Richmond district. The food was sharp in flavor but cooked very well. Meats were tender, broth was hearty and the wine was superb. Everything was well presented. Almost gave off a petite French restaurant vibe if I didn't know they're a Thai cuisine. read more

All the great reviews drew me to choose Oraan as our lunch spot for my bestie visiting from LA. Space is beautiful and the service absolutely top notch, but perhaps I didn't order correctly. We shared the papaya salad, pad see ew, and ribeye with green curry. All were fine, but not spectacular. The ribeye had an uneven cook, but the flavor was good and the accompanying sauce actually spicy, for those of you who can handle the heat. Overall, pleasant experience, and worth checking out. read more

Some out of town friends got a recommendation from local friends who live a couple blocks away about this corner restaurant in the Inner Richmond. Coworkers of our hosts raved about this place made this a weekend dinner party destination. Our group of eight were seated at a window table in the 2nd dining room to the right. The restaurant was full when I arrived just before 7 pm. The out of towners crafted our family style meal as I was too tired to even look at the menu. Given the busy atmosphere, I'm sure the restaurant appreciated our efficiency in ordering our meal. I started by ordering the Thai iced tea with coconut milk (+0.50) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=m4NVGOSRXekWjVtrmPJAbg).

From the appetizers, my favorites were the laab and the Gai Manow (never tried before). For mains, both curries were very tasty and paired well with the various rice offerings. I enjoyed the two noodles and fried rice too. The broccoli was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Given the dining traffic, the service was efficient with empty bowls and plates removed and water glasses refilled. For a more relaxed dining experience, my guess is weeknights are probably practical. I would like to return and explore more of their large menu. Thank you for our gracious hosts for bringing me here. read more

Great Thai spot on Geary! It's easy to make a reservation online which is a plus. Came here with table of 4 and a baby. They had a high chairs which was nice. The restaurant is decorated nicely, it's a little upscale but with chill vibes. The food was amazing. We enjoyed the crispy eggplant and tom kha soup for our starters. The eggplant was so crispy but not oily. And the tom kha was very flavorful, it was a perfect balance of savory, salty and sweet. For the entrees, we got the pork shoulder (kor moo tod), the grilled ribeye steak with green curry sauce (nuer marakot), and the sukho Thai noodle soup. The favorite main dishes were the pork shoulder and the sukho Thai noodles. Both were delicious! I would say the sukho Thai noodles is a must try dish, the soup was amazing and unlike other noodle soups I've had. For dessert we got mango sticky rice, it was the perfect way to end the meal. The service was also on point! Very kind and attentive. read more

sukho thai noodle - best dish, i would highly recommend. the different types of pork on it. the crunchy pork was my favorite and was extremely crunchy despite being inside soup rad nah zen krob (special menu item that started nov 21st!) - a beautiful and very unique dish. i wasn't sure how the wide noodles were going to be crunchy and wide but they were kind of like eating crunchy wonton skin. kapow chicken - decent dish, nothing too out of the ordinary kapow moo krob - solid pieces of pork belly pineapple fried rice - classic fried rice with a pretty strong curry flavor my party of 5 came on a saturday around 12:30pm and got seated with no resy, which was surprising that the restaurant was pretty empty. the waitress was really friendly and she came back to check on us a bunch, food took about 15 minutes to cook. honestly, a pretty solid experience and very surprised it was empty at that time and day. since there was basically only one other party in the restaurant, it was very quiet and enjoyable and the christmas decor was really cute. would definitely recommend for some new and unique dishes. read more

I would get mild next time. Druken Noodles: 4/5 No complaints. The norm. Gai Manow: 4/5 Very interesting, very unique lol. Lowkey looked like a key lime pie when we got it. Definitely cool to try but i don't know if i would order this again. Feels like it should be a desert but very instagramable. read more

My friend and I were craving thai but wanted to try a new restaurant in the city. I was recommended by a different friend and decided to give this place a try. We decided to give three dishes a try. Sukho Noodle Soup: 5/5, would definitely come back just for this dish. The broth was so flavorful; tangy, sweet, spicy, umami with plentiful protein ranging from pork belly to charsiu, to ?beef/pork balls. Curry puffs: 4.5/5. Good appetizer, crunchy with good curry flavor. Nothing crazy in regards to new creativity. If I could, i'd try some of the other appetizers they have to offer. Have heard great things about the eggplant. Spicy ribs: 4/5, fell a bit short in my book. The ribs were still tasty, however there were too many flavors imo that didn't quite compliment each other. We also tried a few beers, the lager lao and dark lager lao. Both were great! Service was great. Staff was friendly. Ambiance was nice with detailed attention to cleanliness. read more

We had a reservation and mentioned upon arrival that it was my birthday, but there was no acknowledgment at all, which was disappointing. The appetizers and soup were good, but the pan-fried noodles were not. Service was very disorganized. Our server kept forgetting our orders, and after we had already ordered dessert and waited about 15 minutes, she came back to ask again if we wanted dessert. I understand she was the only server handling multiple tables, so I don't fully blame her. The bigger issue is the lack of overall customer service and management. When we arrived, there was no greeting, and when we left, there was no "thank you" or farewell. The owner was not friendly or helpful either. To make things more frustrating, an automatic 18% service charge was added, despite the poor level of service. A mandatory gratuity should reflect attentive and respectful service -- unfortunately, that was not our experience. This restaurant has potential because some of the food is good, but customer service and management really need improvement. read more

Had a serious craving for pad Thai and decided to give this place a try. Super happy that we did! Curry puff; solid appetizer. Both my son and I really like this. Came with four good size puffs, some cucumber and onion, sauce on the side. 4.5/5 Pad Thai with river prawn; the price difference between this and the shrimp wasn't significant so we opted for this. This dish had a good balance and freshness that I was looking for. 4.5/5 Green curry with meat; we were worried that it would be too spicy, so we ask for the sauce on the side. It was a good amount of kick for us! The meat wasn't too tender but still good overall. 4/5 Water; Yes, water! Clean lemon water. How many times have I picked up cups of water throughout various restaurants and put them right down because there are traces of weird smell that doesn't belong? IYKYK. Simple decor. The restaurant fits more people than it appears from the outside. Will definitely go back to try more dishes!!! read more

Oraan is a cute, quiet Thai restaurant with nice decor, a good ambiance for a date. The dishes are not your typical Thai dishes. They take care to add flourishes to their presentation of the dishes, like laying down banana leaves. I've been for dinner and lunch and it hasn't been too busy. All of the dishes are very flavorful, the Gai Manow is a must! Dishes: Gai manow - well-fried chicken patty, doesn't seem Thai but it's my favorite dish here. Crispy Chinese broccoli was really interesting, like fried basil. Kor Moo Tod (Pork shoulder) - really good crispy strips of pork shoulder, comes with lemony fish sauce and sticky rice. Pork noodle soup - had multiple types of pork - crispy pork belly, cha siu, ground pork, and meatballs. The cha siu was really tender. I would eat this first, as the noodles got soft. The broth is a tangy tamarind flavor. Crispy pork belly - had really nice crispy pieces. Sauce was similar to the flavor of a basil chicken. Pad Thai with river prawns - shrimp a little mushy. Portion is pretty big. Steamed seafood in banana leaf - shrimp, squid, fish balls in red curry sauce. Should order a rice to go with this. Thai tea - dark orange and strong read more

Fried eggplant 5/5 - favorite dish that we ordered. Perfectly crispy and not soggy on the inside. Super unique, they took a whole eggplant and sliced it. Curry cups 5/5 - unique, comes in 3 cups. Seafood was good, curry was flavorful. There was one item that we couldn't figure out what it was and had to ask -- it was young coconut! Pork ribs 5/5 - meat was tender, very flavorful. My friend didn't like it too much due to the herb taste, but I liked it a lot because it added a depth to the flavor. Definitely will be returning. read more

My friend and I dined at Oraan for a second time recently and we can confirm that they make THE BEST Pad Thai in San Francisco. A bold statement, we know. The Pad Thai Kung Mae Nam ($22.95) easily serves 2-3 people. A heaping portion of noodles that are packed with flavor and topped with two tender giant river prawns. Another delicious dish we ordered both times was the Makuer Tod ($13.95), a flower-like sliced crispy fried eggplant. Quality was consistent between the two visits. One dish that fell short was the Ka-nom Jean, a mix-it-yourself dish of rice noodles, chicken curry paste, boiled egg, and veggies. Unfortunately the chicken curry paste tasted nothing of chicken and it had an overwhelming medicinal-tasting ingredient that overpowered the dish making it unpalatable. Everyone should honestly come just to try their Pad Thai! read more

It was busy on a Satirday night at 8:00 pm. We ordered the Pad Kemao (noodles) with chicken, Nuer Marakot (ribeye steak), Jasmine white rice and Thai ice tea. The wait was a little long to put in our food order because it was a full house. I felt like they refilled my water twice before the waiter came back to take our order. Our food was pretty spicy for me. My mouth is still a little burning from the noodles and steak. There was this round seedy thing in the steak. The guy said it was a Thai eggplant. Never seen it before. It was ok but not my cup of tea. The noodles were less spicy than the beef. Aside from the spicy level, which ofcourse is a personal preference, the food is flavorful. I would eat it again, just give me a large cup of water. Or leave the pitcher with me. read more

Another fabulous meal and experience. My wife and I enjoyed another memorable Mother's Day dinner. As delicious as the food is, the warm and caring service from the entire staff is noteworthy. Nacha and Johnny (owner) were especially friendly and attentive. From our water glasses being constantly filled to changing our plates to checking in on our meal with beautiful smiles, the service is tops. We ordered and loved the crispy eggplant appetizer, Tamarind Prawns, Crispy Pork Belly with Basil, and their spectacular steamed mixed seafood cups with coconut curry, and ice-cold dark lager Lao beer. They were so thoughtful and brought us a complimentary dessert with candle on it for my wife in recognition of Mother's Day. This is one of the very top Thai restaurants in SF. Go and support this awesome team. read more

came around 7pm on a Monday, it was not busy at all (we were the only ones for a while), but food took a surprising while to come out (not unbearably long though). the staff were so friendly, they recommended 3 things which we got. the gai manow was really interesting and its textures were perfect. the fried batter was so crispy but the chicken inside was incredibly moist and juicy. the lemon cream and crispy broccoli elevated the appetizer further and left us very excited for more. the sukho thai noodle soup met that expectation with pork served 4 or 5 different ways on a bed of soft rice noodles and a complex coconut lime broth. I loved the spices in the soup, and the crispy pork belly was my favorite. we didn't love the nuer marakot (beef) because of how fatty it was, but if you like that you would love it. the papaya salad and curry sauce served with it was delicious. the mango sticky rice was probably the least special--the rice could be softer and warmer, and the mango could be riper. but overall, I love the creative menu here and the cozy ambiance, and would come back! read more

Decided to try this Thai restaurant that is located where Mescolanza used to be. They have been opened a few months already and I have to say, the service was exceptional. The restaurant itself is decorated beautifully. Thai food is one of our favorite cuisines, so we are definitely comparing them to our other favorites in the area and the City. While some dishes were pretty good, we felt that some were very lackluster. Also because the price point of this restaurant is a few dollars signs above the average Thai restaurant, so we are definitely looking to see if this is "worth it". We got the Pad Thai Kung Mae Nam (Pad Thai with River Prawns). This dish looks impressive and tasted pretty good. Essentially you are eating mostly pad thai because the river prawn doesn't have much meat, and with two people and two prawns, we each got one. The pad thai itself is a little too sweet according to my husband, but I didn't mind it as much as it also balance with the sour taste that comes from the tamarind. We also got the Khao Mun Gai (Thai version of Hainanese Chicken Rice). While presented beautifully in a big tray lined with a banana leaf, comes with a chicken broth, garlic ginger rice (yummy), cucumber, and a soybean paste sauce, it was very underwhelming. The chicken itself was dry, feels overcooked. The soup tasted very "cup of noodle"ish according to my husband. I avoid it because I don't want the salty broth. The sauce itself is okay but nothing spectacular. Most disappointing is that there was no minced ginger sauce. Sorry to say but you can get better Khao Mun Gai at Rooster and Rice on Stanyan. The cucumber salad was good and refreshing. The Thai iced tea was okay. Seems a bit watered down but okay. So while we like the beautiful restaurant and the good service, the food is not impressive. Maybe we ordered wrong and or it was an off night. Maybe we will try again in a few months. Located on Geary Blvd and 2nd Ave, across the street from San Francisco Toyota. read more

We got an appetizer which was curry filled fried dumpling. Super filling, crispy and tasty. The Tom Kha soup was one of the best Tom Khas I've ever had and they did not skimp on any ingredients. Tons of meat and mushrooms. The pork shoulder was fried and the sauce was so good. It also came with sticky rice which I didn't need but is nice filler. Would've liked bigger pieces of lettuces to wrap the meat. Definitely recommend this place! read more
