House of Thai

"House of Thai in Lower Nob Hill is another casual spot focusing on moderately priced Thai curries, fried rice, salads, and noodles. But in this house, the funk and spice are dialed up for maximum flavor. 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 depthness to it. The space is huge, with high walls and plenty of seating. So gather your closest friends, bask in the loud echo, and get here. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez

"House of Thai is on the edge of Union Square and the Tendernob, but the Thai food is good and cheap enough to leave the shadow of Macy’s for 45 minutes to get lunch. The fried chicken is solid, but you should get the Gang Jerd Woon-Sen soup with ground pork, tofu, and silver noodles. If you try to eat it right away though, you’ll need to buy new taste buds at Neiman’s when you head back to the middle of Union Square though." - will kamensky
