"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
"House of Thai in Lower Nob Hill is another casual spot focusing on moderately priced Thai curries, fried rice, salads, and noodles. But unlike those other places, this one dials up the funk and spice. You’ll see pad see ew with caramelized minced pork, BBQ pork tossed in a chili lime dressing so perfect we want to rename it Bring On The Mouth Pucker, and a tom kha ga that’s creamy and balanced. Think of any dish here as a jolt to your palate—even a side of peanut sauce has depth. The space is cavernous, with high walls and plenty of seating. Round up your closest friends, order everything, and bask in the echoey acoustics." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
"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
