Pad Thai
Beilin L.

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.

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!

Tom yum soup
Nancy D.

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.

Pad See Ew and pumpkin curry
Vicky T.

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.

Chicken Pad Thai Duck fried rice
Jadyn L.

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.

Spicy Basil Chicken & Green Curry with tofu
Makayla S.

One of our favorite neighborhood spots for Thai food. Most of the time we call in for takeout, but every once and awhile we dine in. The service is always kind and friendly. Great place for a date night or casual dinner experience.

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.

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

Ginger Chicken and Pad Thai
Hannah M.

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!

a bar with lots of bottles of wine
Meeta A.

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.

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.

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!

For 3 of us, we ordered and shared family-style: - Wagyu Basil Tray--good meat and rice with spices and a perfectly-cooked egg. Hey, I love eggs. - Chicken pad Thai-nice amount of chicken. 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! It gets loud and the lighting is dim and moody, could be good for groups or date night and we also saw a few families.

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.

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.

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!

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!

I already had high expectations judging from the pictures of this place, but Hed verythai still…read moremanaged to blow my mind! I ordered the Set 3 Chicken. The mushroom soup was the best thai soup I've ever had in my life! It has the sourness of tom yang soup but with a hint of sweetness and creaminess that balances it out so well! The tender, juicy chicken curry was flavored to perfection, the salad and butternut squash were refreshing, and the three grains complemented the meal so nicely. I was stuffed by the end, but not uncomfortably so. Prices were pretty fair; regular sets are $20-something and the seasonal sets are in the 30's. I really appreciated the amazing service we got too. We showed up at 6 pm on a Wednesday night with no reservations for 3 people, but the hostess said she could give us a table for around an hour, before the reserving party arrives, if we were ok with it. They were also very flexible about switching out one of the items in the sets we didn't like as much. The restaurant itself is beautiful and comfortable and 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone! The most well-done Thai food I've ever had!

Ordered the pork belly set menu and I really enjoyed the variety of flavors and textures throughout…read morethe meal. The papaya salad was spicy and sour, making it a refreshing palate cleanser before the main dishes. The pork belly had great flavor and came in a generous portion. I also tried the chicken curry, which paired beautifully with the rice. One of my favorite parts was the three different types of rice--I mixed them together with the dishes, which made each bite a little more interesting. The coconut mushroom soup was amazing, with a rich and comforting flavor. I was surprisingly impressed by the eggplant side dish as well. I'm not usually a fan of eggplant's texture, but it was cooked so well that I actually enjoyed it, and the flavorful sauce helped even more. To finish, the mango coconut pudding was light and refreshing. You could really taste the freshness of the mango, and it wasn't overly sweet--a perfect ending to the meal. Many tables to choose from on a Saturday. The restaurant itself is hidden away in an alleyway so not a lot of foot traffic, it's like a hole in the wall restaurant that you have to find.
