Pad See Ew w/ chicken ($17.95) + Thai iced tea ($5)
Belinda W.

Ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken ($17.95). It was a solid lunch portion with a good amount of chicken. However, it was not as savory and sweet as expected. The added bok choy threw me off a little but it was still crunchy and made a decent filler. I appreciated the Thai Iced Tea ($5) was packaged neatly inside a to-go box for safe delivery and was not watered down. Also, this drink has the option to be made vegan which sold me without hesitation. Overall, I would order again for a reasonable and quick meal.

Pad See Ew ()

Great pad see ew! It was packed with noodles and broccoli and other veggies. I wish it had more chicken, but overall the flavor was great and portion was decently large. Very solid lunch option. Would definitely order again!

Red Pumpkin Curry with coconut rice
Joey W.

Red Pumpkin Curry with coconut rice - coconut was fragrant and fluffy with a subtle coconut flavor. The red pumpkin curry had bell peppers, carrots, pumpkin, and basil. I opted for tofu for my protein. The curry was creamy and had a nice kick to it. I wish there was more pumpkin (only two pieces of pumpkin) since it was a pumpkin curry.

fried rice
Ananya M.

was not a fan of the fried rice or the thai tea lol. the fried rice was pretty bland and the tofu lacked flavor (also there were like 5 pieces of tofu). and the thai tea was too sweet.

Isaan papaya salad with salted eggs
Rudy H.

I ordered through Uber Eats, So this is going to be short and right to the point. The deal of curry lovers combo for $16.25 I though was pretty decent. You get two half portion of two different curries + rice and protein of your choice (some at extra cost). I've also ordered Isaan papaya salad with salted egg which I though was pretty decent as well, even though Isaan food are supposedly to be spicy and pungent. This was not and the color was too light to be called Isaan Tam Mak Hong. Overall the packing and the value were pretty good, So it was a good deal for me using my 50% Uber promo on this restaurant.

Curry lovers combo set
Alice S.

I found this spot on Uber Eats, and it was surprisingly pretty good! I ordered the basil chili with beef and the curry lover's combo (green curry + yellow curry). Everything was pretty tasty and flavorful, although the beef was just a little bit dry. I can also tell that this place is able to keep prices low by not fully filling up the containers and by using cheaper veggies in the curries (tons of onions in the yellow curry). But this was a good deal, so can't complain about it!

It's mid. Got the pad kee mow and it was a bit soggy and not very spicy, flavorful, or authentic compared to the ones I had in Bangkok. There are better spots in the city for Thai. Good variety for vegetarians and vegans though

Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles)
Haasith S.

The food came super fast within 30 min! The taste was on point and the noodles were the right consistency! The portion size was average. The veggies had a crunch to them. Overall one of the better casual Thai places in San Francisco! Pros: great food, great noodles , fast delivery Cons: can't think of much

Pad thai
Arri Y.

A new hidden gem in SF, Basil Cart will leave you on a flavour journey to be remembered! I ordered from Grubhub, and this restaurant was a new option and I'm happy to support new businesses! Other reviews are pretty accurate, as I had a great experience ordering here. They currently have specials on Grubhub which enticed me to try them out but for the quality and flavour it's well worth it regularly. The delivery was timely and the owner included a hand written note, which was a nice touch and shows how much effort they put into their business! I tried the Pad Thai, Green Curry and Yellow Curry. The Pad Thai was very flavourful all around for some authentic flavour. It came with some peanuts and lime for garnish and was very fresh! Had some green onion and beansprouts as well, which I would have liked more of but not a big deal. The dish was also lined with a leaf (not sure what it's called) but also adds to the authenticity. The Yellow Curry had a lot of unique flavourness and rich body. Chunks of carrots and potatoes permeate the dish for some added richness as well which balances out the curry nicely. The Green curry is probably my favourite, as it also had a very rich body and taste as well. The bamboo shoots give a nice crispness to balance out the thick curry, but the flavour is the amazing point. A slight sweetness provides an upside to every bite, and combined with the slight spiciness and texture of the eggplant gives an awesome curry that's not too heavy and should go well with just about anything! The rice was perfect to my preference as well, as it was not soggy so that it goes well with curry. Very fragrant and fresh! All the portions sizes were great, so if you're looking for a nice flavourful and filling meal to satisfy your Thai cravings this is the place!

"Wok Wok-Fried Broccoli Protein"

Ordered Uber eats. Some of the worst Thai food I've ever had in my life. Dry, flavorless, meat all fatty. Also checked "add utensils" to all 3 entrees and received no utensils.

Lydia Z.

Not bad; very flavorful! A bit pricey for takeout (food was not to share and quite meager) but that is understandable given the current climate. I loved the hand written note and the subtle spiciness of the basil chicken! Wish there was a little less sauce and less dry chicken. Overall, definitely hit the spot!

Avocado Fresh Summer Rolls
Savannah P.

I was having a really bad day last week, so out of the kindness of her heart one of my best friends doordashed me some Avocado Fresh Summer Rolls and Khao Soi from Basil Cart. I think the summer rolls were the best I've ever had. They were incredibly plump, and the peanut sauce that accompanied them was also very thick (in a good way). The Kao Soi was delicious, but then again I don't think I've ever had bad Kao Soi. It's easily my favorite thai dish. Basil Cart was the pick me up I needed to get through a long, tough, rainy day. I would definitely order it for delivery again!

I also tried the Kale Caesar Salad, which has the makings of another favorite, but unfortunately the dressing was much too salty for my taste that day. I'll probably try it again sometime to see if that was just a one-time thing. The dining area is open, bright, clean, and comfortable. It works equally well for lunch with colleagues or friends, or for sitting by yourself with a meal while reading or working on a laptop. Service has been consistently good, with attentive staff who respond quickly when I need something. After three visits, Rad Radish remains one of my go-to lunch spots in Hayes Valley.

This food will fill you up and leave you wanting more. Loaded Tostones is pumped up with nacho-ish toppings. Served with a thick and tasty mama sauce. I was dunking everything into that sauce. I opted for the side of tostones because I was craving the crunchy plantain. It was crisp perfection! Lulu's Famous Pastelillo filled with vegan beef or chicken was another winner for me. The dough was fried perfectly and I loved the chicken filling flavor. Chef's kiss. Coquito cake is on the menu! If you love eggnog, get this right now. I want to return for the sampler plate. At $20, it's cheaper than a flight to Puerto Rico. Pro-tip: first hour of parking is free!

We sat at the bar and it was relatively quiet though by the time we left there was a line forming at the door to get in.

Our favorite was the paella - the skewers were really delicious - although everything on the menu looked and tasted good. Could not tell anything was vegan. Would definitely come back and try a few of the other dishes!

We ordered off the happy hour menu and the dinner menu. The cheviche came with two pieces. It had a slight citrus taste,it was good but messy. The bottom shell fell apart after one bite. The flautas were really good. Crispy and full of flavor. We tried to order the clam chowder,but it was unavailable. They had corn chowder instead. This was ok. Only a couple of potatos chunks,and a lot of pepper. The portion size was big for the price. Off the dinner menu we ordered the chicken paella,and the truffle potatoes. Both we great and cook perfectly. But rather small portions considering the price. It got louder as time went by and the place started to fill up. But I remembered that this place is a bar not a restaurant.

The food and service impressed me enough to get curious and read about the restaurant afterward. I was surprised to learn that Greens has been at Fort Mason since 1979! About a dozen of us gathered for dinner. The four of us sitting at one end of the table decided to order different appetizers and main dishes and share them so we could try several dishes that caught our attention. And that turned out to be a great decision! The dining room is quite spacious. When we arrived, several large parties were already there, along with smaller groups of two to four people. After debating what to order, we asked our servers a bunch of questions. They patiently explained the dishes in detail and helped us make up our minds. We started with the Falafel Platter, Mesquite Grilled Zucchini, and Fried Cauliflower. For our main courses, we ordered Roman Gnocchi, Mesquite Grilled Tofu Brochettes, Black Mission Fig Pizza, and one other dish whose name I cannot recall. Everyone at our end of the table enjoyed the choices we made. The Fried Cauliflower stole the show among the appetizers! It was perfectly seasoned with garlic, herbs, and lemon, and the accompanying tartar sauce added even more flavor. The zucchini was cooked just right, neither overdone nor too soft. The Falafel Platter offered a wonderful variety of flavors on one plate. The pizza and grilled tofu were delicious, but the Gnocchi was my favorite of the main dishes. By the time we got to it, everyone was already full and could manage only a bite or two. I ended up taking most of it home and thoroughly enjoyed it for lunch the following day! Before our food arrived, one of our friends had warned me that I would become a fan of Greens. After trying their food, I think she was right! I had never expected to enjoy so many different vegetarian dishes in one sitting, and I'm already looking forward to returning.

The food was just okay for us. Our kids enjoyed their spring rolls and "chicken" nuggets, which were an easy win. However, the entrees we ordered were quite salty and didn't have much depth of flavor. Afterwards, we realized they don't use garlic or onion, which would have been helpful to know ahead of time since it really affects the flavor profile. If we had known that, we likely would have chosen a different spot. Overall, it wasn't quite what we were expecting given the menu and reviews. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't stand out for us in a city with so many great food options.
