Mixed experience at Thai Cottage, but mostly positive! The Pad Thai was excellent the portion size was great and the flavors were spot on. However, a word of caution on the Papaya Salad: it had absolutely no business being as spicy as it was! I usually enjoy some heat, but this was such a struggle that I unfortunately couldn't even finish it. If you're sensitive to spice, definitely make sure to emphasize "mild." I'd definitely come back for the Pad Thai, though! read more

The restaurant is cozy and well-decorated, but service was quite a bit slow for a fairly small restaurant (it took about 45 minutes to receive food even though I only ordered the Pad Thai, which I did enjoy). I also ordered the plum wine - the flavor was well balanced, but I would have preferred the wine be chilled first rather than served with so much ice. Good food and drink overall, but felt the execution could be better. read more

Decided to try this out on a Friday night. Service was nice, and the quality of ingredients were also good. Prices feel a bit high for portion, but also expected given the Sunset area. Decent place to support local businesses in the area though! read more

LOVE LOVE Thai cottage! Their pad Thai is so good and I definitely recommend the tom yum it has amazing flavor.

Peaceful and cute Thai restaurant in the Sunset District. The food is super authentic and very decent price! 10/10 We got the catfish which was perfectly savory and and the onions were naturally sweet, as well as the perfectly cooked bell peppers. The tom yum soup was tangy, savory, rich and had a kick! The pineapple fried rice was hearty, steamy and tangy+savory. Last, but not least, the Papaya salad was the star of the show. I've never been to Thailand, but this is how Papaya salad should taste! It was perfectly dressed with fresh garnishes and a tad spicy, in a good way! Compliments to the chef. Our server was attentive and sweet and made very good conversation. read more

Had the pleasure of trying this place out earlier in the week. The owner is extremely kind and hugs the regulars. We ended up getting the spicy tofu eggplant, veggie rolls, pad see ew with tofu no egg and pumpkin curry: everything was delicious. Waters were always full and we got checked on multiple times. Adding this to my places to eat in SF. read more

The food here is always fresh and it tastes absolutely delicious. There's a good kick to all of the dishes that are billed spicy, and you can tell the vegetables they cook with are freshly prepared. The quality of the seafood and meat is also very good. One thing I noticed the last couple times I tried this place is that there are very few servers, but they do a good job of handling a busy restaurant - I can just tell they're a little overwhelmed. Last time I was here was on a weekday evening and by the time we left the place was packed, understandably. They use real tea candles for the tables and the lighting is a little dim but provides a good and comfortable vibe. Overall very pleasant and we will be back. read more

I have to make a picture while I'm eating. The quality of takeout is so inconsistent. Mine is with all broken overcooked noodles today. It's so disappointing. read more

The parking here is terrible but it's a great place for take out. We got our food to go and ate it on the beach picnic style. The worker was very friendly and gave us extra utensils since we were going straight to the beach. The pad Thai was good with a little kick to it and the duck fried rice was delicious. I like that they include the duck skin too. The place is small and quiet. No one was sitting inside and it seemed like a lot of people did take out instead. read more

I love this place! Our server Air was so sweet and helpful and so funny! He has such a playful vibe which honestly makes you feel so comfortable as a customer.

Great Papaya Salad, Penang Chicken and Cottage Fried Rice. The rice was a tad too oily and the Penang chicken a tad too sweet. Definitely coming back again. Portions were on the smaller side but prices were on the reasonable side. read more

Always good here prices went up a lot from what I'm seeing of the old menus posted on yelp. I was expecting to pay $9 came out to $13 for a Thai papaya salad. But that's average now for most places read more

Dissappointed. Long wait for a table during dinner hour when there were open tables unused. Portions of entrees are large but service is very slow. Loud, crowded seating once you get a table. Staff unattentive. Stick with a curry dish, otherwise the food is bland & dry. read more

Was really hoping to like this place! But the service was slow. They never brought the drinks we ordered. My dish wasn't very hot. We both tried our dishes and immediately felt that we wouldn't return. :( read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Thai Cottage!! I came here to have dinner with a friend on a Saturday night. When we came the restaurant was empty, but it was hallow-weekend so maybe everyone was off at festivities? But anyways, we enjoyed the emptiness because it felt like a private dining experience lol. The inside is small-ish but very cozy and I loved the wine wall. The waiter was so incredibly kind and bubbly, we didn't catch his name but he was wonderful! I ordered the spicy ginger chicken, which came over rice. It was such a simple dish but so flavorful and delicious! The textures and spices balanced perfectly, would highly recommend. My friend got the pad Thai which was also delicious and the portion was huge! I think 2 people could easily share the pad Thai. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Thai food! read more

Thai Cottage Restaurant - Ginger Chicken and Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

I don't know why this place has over 4 stars on Yelp The space is really cramped up, too small and still has around 6 to 8 seating arrangements for around 25 people. Crowded. There was only 1 person around to handle everyone. We reached at around 6pm and they took our order after 30 mins. Thai Red curry and green red curry - did not look tempting at all. The curry is thin and watery, not rich at all as its supposed to be from coconut milk. I have had way better thai curries almost everywhere. Ordered 3 sides of rice. Two first and one later. The one that came later was almost 1.5 times size the the bowls that came earlier. Umm excuse me, whats going on? Thai Iced Tea - totally forgot that we ordered it, so we reminded them again and asked for a to-go as it was already too late. They got it after a while but not to-go And of course it was so watered down that I instantly regretted getting one. Mango cheesecake - this was cherry on the cake! LOL. This is supposed to be ready (i guess) but they took forever to get it to us. It looked pretty but We then realized it was a frozen (store bought one) because it was still frozen and they were probably thawing it. It tasted pathetic, still like an ice-pop! Not worth $10. We left at 9, yes 3 hours of my life wasted here on this food. Never going back and I would advise you the same. Message if you would like to know good Thai places to go. read more

This is not a impressive Thai restaurant by any means. As a person who has been to Thailand for many times throughout the years. I guess when Thai food landed in the US, it lost its essence to some degrees, when it gets de-centralized, it's getting even less impressive. Pad-See-Ew tastes quite Chinese. Thai soy source is quite different than Chinese one. Fried calamari is so so as well. I guess I will not visit again. read more

One of our favorite Thai spots in the neighborhood. Delicious food, friendly staff and cute cozy space. Pumpkin curry and their catfish dish are some of our regular go to's, our kiddo likes their tofu satay with peanut sauce and pineapple fried rice. read more

Intimate setting, only 6 tables, very good food and pleasant jazz playing on a sound system in the background. Service was warm and friendly. We ordered the pineapple curry with shrimp instead of duck and an amazing spicy catfish (Pla Rad Prik). We'll be back. read more

Great food, lovely staff, cute ambiance. My fav restaurant on Judah! I especially love the green curry and panang curry

Amazing service! The owner was so sweet and checked up on me & my meal & gave me extra sauce. Love it here! The hours are a bit funky but when it's opened it's def worth coming by! read more

The lady was very rude. The restaurant was empty when we came. She was initially going to sit us next to the door but we were a bit cold. So we asked if we could sit further in and the lady moved us but made a rude comment. That left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't even remember how the food was. All I can remember is the rude lady. read more

I honestly don't know what all the complaints about this place are about. I called the day before and made a reservation for 7 and the man on the phone was super helpful. The food was really good! We had 2 salads both really spicy so though I didn't tolerate it well the rest of my family seemed to enjoy them. The calamari and spring rolls were good. We also had Pad Thai's, 2 different Tofu dishes (I liked the Tofu and broccoli one but they were both excellent), and the duck fried rice (SO good!!) Yes there is only one person cooking and 1 waiter so cut them a little slack, I learned from the waiter the pandemic was hard on them for the ability to hire more people. I will DEFINITELY be back, this is our neighborhood Thai spot, it's great and I will happily support it! :) read more

So cute, friendly, and with delicious food! We went here as new residents of the neighborhood and were not disappointed. We did takeout but the interior is charming and chic. The chicken fried rice was good, if very mild. The chicken satay was delicious and a good portion! The papaya salad was my favorite and one of the spicier versions I've had. Last but certainly not least, the man who took our order and greeted us was so incredibly kind and welcoming. He thanked us for visiting such a small restaurant, and I'd encourage everyone to give it a visit as well! read more

Great local takeout spot, a go-to since we move to Outer Sunset: We've mostly done takeout and the food is consistently great, fresh and good quality. Highly recommend! read more

Cute place, if you can find parking, suggest that you take uber or lift. Better you have someone drop you off and have Uber or lift pick you up, Date night with the lady. Place was half full, lots of take out and pick up orders. Only thing is that I only see two people, one Working the desk the other waiting tables , cleaning, and taking checks. So I would have to say understaffed for a Friday evening. The food I would have to say was quite delicious. Dessert was also fantastic, mango and sticky rice. read more

Very cute restaurant in the outer sunset. Service was exceptional -- the host wanted to make sure we were always happy and had water and whatever we needed. Order Tom yum, pad Thai and a curry and it was all very delicious and full of flavor. Will return. read more

Hands down my favorite new Thai restaurant since moving back from Thailand. Living in Thailand for 13 years gave me so much love and appreciation for the culture, food and way of life. The owner was the kindest sweetest host we have ever come across. Small cute and great ambiance. I definitely impressed her with my Thai language skills being a Farang (foreigner) and my love for Chang beer and spicy authentic Thai food. The Food came out perfectly flavored, not watered down like most Thai restaurants catering to westerners. It had a nice kick and so flavorful, the seafood tom Kha soup was amazing as well as the Som Tom salad. Papaya salad is one of the healthiest foods on the planet full of good enzymes. It's no wonder you never see a overweight thai person :) we will definitely be back every week thank you Sabrina :) read more

The food is not very good. I've tried it 3 times, and was disappointed each time. It is a cute place near my house but I just don't find the food tasty. The service is friendly and fast though. read more

Excellent food! Great service! Nice place to eat ! This was the start of a review I was going to post. Unfortunately after eating some of my Thai pad Thai... I discovered my chicken was RAW! I was so shocked I immediately and quietly told the waitress that the chicken was raw. She apologized and gave me the bill for the satay. (With this she shouldn't have even charged me for the satay!) I'm very disappointed!!! I waited about 40 minutes for my food and it wasn't even cooked!!! Terrible. I will never go back ={. Damn. Thought I found a good place by my house but with the super slow service and raw food I did now ={ This is a pic of the pad Thai. You can actually see how raw the chicken was if you look at the bottom right of the plate!! read more

Green curry has a nice kick even for those who think they can't handle spicy foods. Just add a bit to our coconut rice (!) and you're set. I got it was chicken. Overall I though my green curry was a bit watered down. The fried calamari is a decent portion for the price you pay. It is in the ring form. Pad Sew Ew with beef was alright. I feel like I've had better. The beef texture was like beef jerky. read more

Good Thai food, but service can be pretty slow here. The Larb and Papaya Salad is extremely spicy, so beware. I've enjoyed the Thai Fried Rice and the Garlic Noodles with BBQ Chicken here. Great flavors and done very well. I've also had the Cottage Fried Rice, which, from the description seems to be a better version of the Thai Fried Rice. However, the flavor wasn't as great. Prices were good here. It's actually cheaper than the other Thai place I've been getting takeout from. But the slow service also pertains to takeout as well. read more
