    Tom Yum Noodle Soup
    Neha H.

    Came here for a quick lunch on a weekday. Unfortunately didn't hit the way I wanted. I ordered a tom yum noodle soup, spicy. Came out piping hot. The pros: lots of veggies, included mushroom, tomatoes, broccoli and the chicken was cooked well. The noodles were also decently cooked. The con was that the broth didn't really taste like tom yum, it didn't have that tanginess that you normally expect from tom yum. That being said, it was spicy and it still did satisfy that soup craving. Also, the staff was super friendly and quick!

    Eggplant with Tofu and added Chicken, with Brown Rice
    Jen L.

    My meal here was a rather pleasant surprise. A group of us came down the stairs to find that we were only ones there on a Tuesday at 11:45am. We all decided to try Thai food and I went with the Eggplant and Tofu and added Chicken and asked for Brown Rice. The dish was really tasty and not too oily like some eggplant dishes can be. There was good seasoning and spice. I did opt to go with spicy when asked. Others in my group had curries, Pad Thai, noodle soup, and fried rice. Everyone said they liked their meals. The portion sizes were just right with a few of them not finishing their dish. By 12:10, the Thai place had a line where the other vendors did not. That kind of tells you something.

    Solid lunch. Lunch plate - Thai Basil Chicken - sweet, yummy, would definitely be universally liked by kids and adults - Eggplant - YUM, you can never go wrong with stir fried eggplant - portion was generous as I got this in a bowl for here Overall, was a good option to stop by especially with the overcrowding at other places due to the Warriors parade

    Pad Thai Noodle. Not authentic. 3/5. IG: @amei.eats
    Alex M.

    The restaurant is located in that "international food court" which looks kind of like a basement which is rather unfortunate location, and the food is equally unfortunate. Pad Thai (77.5% | C) - Yet another Pad Thai I'm reviewing... this one unfortunately does not actually taste like Pad Thai. The flavoring is off and does not hit the traditional Thai flavors. Additionally, the noodles are also a bit undersoaked and raw. However, the shrimp is impressively cooked despite having the tails shelled. Pad See Ew (60% | D) - This was an unfortunate vegetarian version of a Pad See Ew that hit all the wrong marks. The vegetable with this dish did not work and diluted the strong soy flavor one seeks with the dish; the broccoli was sour making this additionally displeasing. This dish needs to be doused aggressively with the iconic sweet soy for this to be savable.

    Again, best Thai food in the city. Always crowded so you know it's . Fried Chicken Over Fried Rice ‍. Wonderful staff and authentic food! - Johnny

    Thai Iced Tea with Two-Item Lunch Special: Basil Chicken and Spicy String Bean Tofu.
    Peter L.

    The basil ground chicken over rice is good here, just enough saltiness and no flavor overpowers it, and the spice kick slowly builds. Other items are average, not bad. The iced tea or coffee are on the sweet side, and strong. Not the best around but better than mall Thai food, and the portions do not match the pricing. However, the food is made to order - go this route - as the lunch specials are served from pre-made food trays. A definite stop if hours or lunch time are limited. Located below street level at the International Food Court (https://www.yelp.com/biz/international-food-court-san-francisco). Signage on both Kearny and Bush streets points to its location.

    Fried chicken over fried rice
    Jonathan H.

    I was looking for a relatively cheap Thai place for lunch in FiDi and this definitely fit the bill. The restaurant is actually a food stall in the International Food Court on Kearny. There are stairs leading down to an underground food court that are easy to miss, so keep an eye out and Google Maps handy! Their menu covers all your bases for those Thai cravings (pad thai, pad see ew, fried rice, green curry, etc) and they have 2-item lunch specials too. Each item and their lunch specials are all around $10. I got the fried chicken over fried rice and it was amazing. The fried rice was super flavorful and it came with a good amount of fried chicken. I was pretty happy with the amount of fried rice too. My order was ready within 10 minutes, which was awesome considering the long line during peak lunch hour. All al la carte dishes are made to order, so my food came out nice and hot. I ordered mine to eat there, but they do use Ritual for pick-up. The food court does tend to get pretty packed at the height of lunch hour. It becomes somewhat of a ghost town past 1PM, so I'd recommend going then if you don't want to wait in line or like eating in peace. Overall, this makes for the perfect spot for Thai takeout. And plus, they accept cash and card.

    I was able to eat lunch at Thainery Thai Restaurant for lunch today. One reason I came here is because I never got the chance to eat at the International Food Court before until today. The Pad Thai I ordered was very good and not too greasy like at some other places. The workers were friendly, my order was completed fairly quickly and I got more food than I had expected. I really enjoyed my meal while sitting in the clean dining area. I plan to come back here again if I get the chance.

    Thai Basil Chicken Lunch
    Rosita L.

    Came here because they had promo on Ritual, so I ordered their $1 thai basil chicken rice. First impression: it was located in the international food court, so the ambience is loud and crowded. I came there at around 12 so there are line in the cashier. Pickup experience: the guy seemed confused when I told him my name and my coworker's name (she came along with me). I couldn't blame him because I saw a big stack of to-go food ordered by several different apps, so he had to go through all that stack to find our orders. Food: I head back to my office and eat, it didn't really look appetizing because there barely any basil in mine, and chicken is not my favorite meat in the first place. But as I bit into it, it was actually pretty good! It's tasty, not spicy at all (even though I ordered it to be spicy, but its okay), and I can taste the basil even though there's literally only one basil shown in my dish... the meat and rice comparison is pretty satisfying, considering I only paid $1 for this. But to get it again for the actual price, I might need to wait until I'm really really craving it. Still, it's recommended!

    Menu : the lady is great! Excellent customer service
    Jhaydelyn E.

    OMG!!! I tried this place for the first time and I was amazed. First off the service is so good very welcoming and friendly. Second, the food are so good I got the Fried chicken fried rice - rice is so flavorful and chicken is so crunchy and take note they make your order fresh. I also got the pork stew noodle soup It is good but its a lil bit sweet or maybe savory for me but i know if u add soysauce or sriracha it will be better. Over all I highly recommended this place and definitely will come back again. I was having a hard time to decide what im gonna get bcause they have a lot of selection. 5 star for this place my new thai spot glad that i found this place! This is located underground in Kearny St International food court Thainery for the win!! And the best part they give you FREE Thai ice coffee or thai tea when u spend $25

    Shey D.

    Pad see ew is it! Make it spicy and call it a day. Come before 12noon to beat the crowd. They usually have a line but they're pretty fast. They also have food that are already precooked but I choose to get a special order and it did not disappoint. The place is in the basement and the place is not the cleanest but just close your eyes and eat.

    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!

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.

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.

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!
