San Francisco is a great spot for Thai food. From authentic food trucks to Michelin star restaurants, there's a bit of everything for those who love Thai food.
A recent report from TimeOut determined the best spots for Thai food in the city.
According to their report, the best Thai food in San Francisco is Kin Khao in the Tenderloin.
Here's what TimeOut had to say about the restaurant:
"From the decor to the bold curries, everything is colorful and informal at this Michelin-starred Thai restaurant. Kin Khao – which translates to 'eat rice' – is the passion project of chef Pim Techamuanvivit, who was born and raised in Bangkok. (Her stated mission: 'To liberate her beloved Thai cuisine from the tyranny of peanut sauce.') All of Techamuanvivit’s produce, meat and seafood is sourced from local Northern California purveyors. The dishes are shareable and generously spiced, from the 'pretty hot wings' glazed with fish sauce, garlic marinade, tamarind, and Sriracha to the dry-fried Duroc pork ribs in a turmeric curry paste. Don’t miss Kin Khao’s modern spin on curries, like the rabbit green curry or the mackerel gaeng som sour curry."
These are the top 10 places to get Thai food in SF according to TimeOut:
- Kin Khao
