The 20 Best Restaurants In Nob Hill

"House of Thai in Lower Nob Hill is another casual spot focusing on moderately priced Thai curries, fried rice, salads, and noodles. But unlike those other places, this one dials up the funk and spice. You’ll see pad see ew with caramelized minced pork, BBQ pork tossed in a chili lime dressing so perfect we want to rename it Bring On The Mouth Pucker, and a tom kha ga that’s creamy and balanced. Think of any dish here as a jolt to your palate—even a side of peanut sauce has depth. The space is cavernous, with high walls and plenty of seating. Round up your closest friends, order everything, and bask in the echoey acoustics." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
