Finally tried this place after wanting to come here for over a year! The first time I looked into…read moreit, I didn't realize the wait could be 2-3 hours, so I never got around to visiting. My friend and I were in the SF area and decided to give it another shot. This time, we went shortly after they opened for dinner at 4 PM. We arrived around 4:15 PM and waited about 15 minutes before getting seated! NOTES: * No designated parking lot, but there's street parking available. I can see parking being difficult to find during rush hours. * Small, cozy dining area that seems to always be packed! * We were a party of two but were seated at a table with another party of two because seating was so limited. Something to keep in mind if you prefer having your own table! * If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend going right when they open to avoid the longer wait times. WHAT WE GOT: FOOD: Khao Pad Mun Nuer with Soy Cured Egg Yolk: 5/5 This was SO good! Loved the flavors, and the beef was delicious and tender. The rice itself was also packed with flavor. Everything came together really well. Would definitely get this again! Kai Toon Lava (Tom Yum Base): 4.5/5 The workers let us know they had run out of the original base and asked if we wanted to try the tom yum version instead. Glad we went with it because it turned out to be delicious! The egg was silky and smooth, and the shrimp paired really well with it. Would recommend! Burnt Butter Kaya Toast with Coconut Ice Cream: 5/5 This was SO good! My friend and I were already pretty full after the two entrees, but we kept seeing other tables order this and had to try it for ourselves. No regrets! The crispy toast paired so well with the creamy coconut ice cream, and the pandan flavor tied everything together. Definitely recommend saving room for dessert! DRINKS: Thai Tea: 3/5 Ordered this because I noticed almost everyone else had one, so naturally I got fomo LOL. It was alright, but nothing too memorable. I'd probably just stick with water next time. Lychee Iced Tea: 2/5 My friend wasn't a fan of this one. The flavor was different from what she was expecting, so she wouldn't order it again. OVERALL: 4.5/5 I hate to admit how good this place was because now I want to come back, but the wait times are a little too much for me LOL. I'd definitely return for an early dinner right when they open, or bring a friend who's visiting from outside the Bay Area to show them "a spot." The food definitely lived up to the hype. Now I understand why this place went viral!

There are some stores/bars near by to pass the time so it wasn't too bad but wow long wait! Get there early! Food: * tom yum goong hotpot: honestly sooo good...

The Fleet week and SF Tech Week Edition:…read more San Francisco has to be the best city in America. The diversity and the neighborhoods in SF make America better. Born and Raised in SF and growing up in the Mission you make friends with every nationality. You will see all kinds of restaurants serving food from all seven continents. There is one restaurants in the back streets of the Mission District which has lots of characters and it's serves delicious Thai cuisine. In this area you only use to see people wearing suits only on a Sunday but now you see people wearing suits on a weekday walking around. It's located on Florida ( not the state) street and it's called Farmhouse Kitchen Thai cuisine. On a Fleet Week and SF Tech week stroll I landed on Florida ( not the state) street. When it comes to Thai food I always like trying dishes with seafood. Most restaurants by the water serve seafood that can be bland and stale in SF. Some try to squeeze the life out of a lemon and lime and it still tastes more sour. One thing you can do to change the taste is to put some different flavor on it. Farmhouse Kitchen Thai cuisine offers a seafood plate called the Run Juan Seafood Sizzling and it's exactly the seafood answer for Don Juan . The Run Juan was a bit spicy with the spicy curry paste and jalapeños with and it came with an assortment of different seafood which included shrimp, scallops, calamari, and Manila clams. It wasn't salty like some in SF. I also had the Tom Kha soup which was not too sour like some in SF. I was looking for the purple rice but they had the blue rice which is good to have for Fleet week in honor of the Blue Angels. I washed all down with a purple colored Anchan Limenade. Some things in the Mission has changed and those days are "gone"but one thing won't change is the love of the Mission and for San Francisco by "Don Juan" because the Mission in the city still has it going "on" so go the Farmhouse and enjoy a Thai seafood dish called "Run Juan" Walking the streets of the Mission at night back in the days you had to be "cautious" because the ones who got targeted were the "softest" the Farmhouse is located on the Florida street where the "loft is"and lots of people demand for Run Juan but I am not currently running for "office"

We didn't have a reservation, but they still gave us a table as long as we could finish within an…read morehour. That worked for us. We're vegetarian. Started with the fresh rolls, which were light and crunchy. We usually go for green curry, but they don't have a vegetarian version, so we got the yellow curry instead and the pad kee mow with tofu. I asked for medium spicy but felt like I could've gone spicier. The kids had the flat rice noodles with tofu and broccoli (no egg) and liked it. The kids also liked all the Halloween decorations. There's a big rainbow mural and a cute clawfoot bathtub surrounded by pink flowers!! The food was good, but I'm not sure it fully lived up to the price.

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!

My main issue here was that my…read morefriends and I (group of 3) waited at the counter for a while to wait for someone to take our name down. No worries there, as they were super busy. However, as one of the staff came back, a guy quietly came next to us trying to put his name down while we were clearly waiting. We told the staff we were waiting and so she closed the waitlist request and the guy went to the back of the line. We were then put on the waitlist. And two groups of three were put on the waitlist after us. Then when it's getting to around 15-20 min, I saw the group behind us go in to check on the wait time. They told them their table was almost ready. So assumed our table was almost ready. I was wrong. The group behind us in line and the one that tried to cut BOTH were sat before us! This was upsetting as we were there before them and were really hungry at this point. Finally we were sat down. I wanted to order crispy chicken fried rice but they were out of crispy chicken. Not really the restaurant's fault as it was getting closer to the end of the night but that definitely had me feeling even more bummed :( And when the food finally came out, some of my rice was cold :( I feel upset because I have been recommended this place many times but the food and front desk service really fell below my expectations. Our server was nice so nothing on them! And the decorations were really fun! But yeah probably will not come back here.

Cute spot that's fairly priced and with good food? That's a triple threat! Came here for dinner…read morewith work friends and split a few dishes. We trie the crispy rolls ($12), papaya salad ($14.50), drunken noodle ($17.25), pad see ew ($17.25) and choo chee salmon ($23.95). 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. The curry sauce was super flavorful and had hints of coconut. Salmon was cooked well, and it came with some veggies that soaked up the curry. We didn't ask for rice on the side since we already had 2 carb dishes, but it would pair very nicely with white rice. Service was good. They checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I wish they had all the thai spices and sauces though. Usually at Thai restaurants, there's four different condiments, but this one only had a homemade spice concoction.

What really stood out to me was how thoughtfully the dishes complemented each other. The acidity of the squid helped balance the fattiness of the pork, while the hot wings packed with Thai chilies worked really well alongside the fruity, sweet, and sour salad. It felt like the dishes were intentionally designed to balance each other's flavors rather than just being served together. I really enjoyed the dessert too, with lots of toasty flavors and interesting textures. The curry wasn't the most flavorful dish, but the black cod was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. The soup wasn't too flavorful either but it was really interesting and smokey. Overall, I was really satisfied with the experience. Getting to try so many new things, along with the generous amount of food, made it feel worthwhile. Service was really good, and I enjoyed many of the dishes. The coursed menu felt very well thought out, and I'd definitely recommend it.

We decided to share a mimosa flight, spring rolls, and ahi scoops. Even though it wasn't brunch, they still allowed us to order a brunch flight, and they were so polite and helpful throughout 4.8/5. The inside is tiny, but quite stunning, clean, and gives a lot of opportunities for insta-worthy pics 4.9/5, I only wish there had been an actual photo wall. Now to the food. The crispy spring rolls were cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. The clear noodles and veggies were so yummy. I asked for soy sauce because that's what I prefer over sweet sauce, but honestly they needed nothing 4.8/5. The ahi scoops had the best seaweed salad on it that I have EVER had, the wasabi cream on top was the show stopper, and I don't even like wasabi 5/5. We shared the flight and was more than tipsy from two drinks each, flavors on point champagne delicious 5/5. Overall

The premise of…read morea thai fusion brunch intrigued me and I was hoping it was would surpass my expectations and previous experience with Peacock Pansy (similar brunch spot). The reservation system was a bit odd with no designated time slots, but rather you put in a time yourself online. The system turned out to not work very well as I originally booked a spot for 2 at 11am and then had to call to move it to 11:40am (weird time). Turns out when we got there, my name or a close spelling of it was on the list for 12:40pm. This wasn't a big deal to me since it's easy to mishear on the phone so we moved on from that. 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!

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!
