"You’ll want to send everyone in your contacts list to The Thonglor, but also gate keep this place at the same time—a meal at this tiny Lower Nob Hill spot is the restaurant equivalent of a pump-up album you listen to top to bottom, no skips. You’re treated to a parade of hearty curries, nose-clearing papaya salads, and the most flawless pad thai you’ll ever lay your eyes on. It’s perfectly chewy, a sweet-salty punch, and beyond worth the price of admission, a.k.a. waiting alongside other eager noodle enthusiasts in the narrow entryway for one of only eight tables. Whether you’re stopping in for a Genius bar appointment at the Apple Store or taking visiting family members down the cable car, just get here. You won’t look at pad thai the same way again.
