"House of Thai in Lower Nob Hill is another casual spot focusing on Thai curries, fried rice, salads, and noodles. But in this house, the funk and spice are at maximum capacity. You’ll see pad see ew with minced pork charred to the point of caramelization, BBQ pork tossed in a chili lime dressing so perfect we want to rename it Bring On The Funk, and a tom kha ga that’s anything but bland or overly creamy. Think of it as a jolt to your palate—even a side of peanut sauce has a rich depth to it." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
