"This part-Burmese, part-Thai spot on the corner of Lincoln Park is a beacon of fantastic and consistently made comfort dishes, from pad thai and hearty curries to, of course, tea leaf salad. The lettuce is never wilted, the peanuts are toasted perfectly, and there’s the right amount of jalapeño that gives a pleasant kick. It’s the ideal appetizer to power you up (thank you, caffeinated tea leaves) if you’re going to wander around the Presidio or Land’s End. And while we have you, we’d be remiss to not shout out their ginger salad—the zingy little number is just as inhalable. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
