The 16 Best Thai Restaurants In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Kothai Republic in the Sunset serves food unlike anywhere else in the city—probably because it’s the only Korean-Thai fusion spot in SF. Settle in with a few of your friends and order a mix of small plates (where this place shines) that blend fermented and tongue-twistingly tart flavors. Think a Thai green curry with a kimchi-covered king salmon, a ceviche that looks like small fish balls atop little gem lettuce, and the crowd-favorite kimchi rice balls covered in bacon and sharp cheddar. Whatever you do, get a bottle of sake, and make sure to get the apple pie cheesecake, which has the right amount of citrus." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
