Regent Thai

No wait and lots of open tables. We came around 6:00pm on a Monday. We have been coming here since the original location was on Monterey Blvd. All their food is delicious and not Thai spicy unless you want that burn and I am sure they can help you with that. They start you off with a basket of fried shrimp chips and a tamarind dipping sauce. Plus water for everyone. Their Thai ice tea is always on point. Pad Se-ew with Chicken has been my go to dish. Double cooked Duck. 😋 Their whole menu has wonderful options.

Beautiful restaurant with good day lighting. Pretty fancy feel to the environment and utensils however not bad prices. Service is excellent, we had a kind server who was very attentive to our needs. Menu was clean and well organized. Food and drink satisfied my craving and the portion is good for one or two people to share. Would definitely come back.

What a refreshing experience, I was craving for some good Thai cooking , the weather was rather cold and gloomy. As I entered Regent Thai. I was greeted with this so unique, only in Thailand smile. Within minutes I felt transformed from a person that is bombarded with negativity from around the globe and especially on local shores to an individual that sensed humanity still exists. If you read this and have been to Thailand before then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, pack your bags and give it a try. And for the food you might ask, right on target, simple but distinct with its flavors and textures. Red duck curry was lovely and the Tum Yum salad reminded me of having lunch at a street corner in BKK. Love it Thank you chef and staff for holding onto your traditions and transforming your guest for the short period of time to a better world.

This is one of my frequent go-to Thai restaurants in the city where Thai places are common. One of the things that I value in a restaurant is consistency of quality and these folks always roll out high standards in their servings. And while there are so many Thai eateries in San Francisco in plenty of pockets around town and everyone has their favorites, I submit this post as a simple endorsement as a great place to try or include in your rotation. The food is very good with plenty of selection, the place is clean and the service is prompt with reasonable pricing. That about checks off all the boxes.

I have been a fan of this spot for many years after a friend of mine got me hip to the skip. The food is always fresh, well presented and flavorful. You never taste anything odd or mysterious as it is prepared with such care. All of my friends, family and general loved ones know that this is the place I go out to dinner. I am pretty familiar with the staff although I only eat there a few times a year. The people are warm, kind and very attentive. The level of friendliness has always been sincere. I always feel like I am visiting relatives because the experience is so easy. I highly recommend this spot. It is some of the best Thai food I have ever eaten and I grew up in San Francisco. YUMMY!

Ordered just one thing (i was craving) panang curry with chicken. It was good but it seemed like they over charged me compared to their other chicken dishes ($15 other dishes vs $18 for mine)?? it was good, lots of veggies, but small portion (especially for the over charge) and they didn’t ask how spicy i wanted it and it wasn’t spicy enough… PROS -service -lots of veggies CONS -portion size -cost

Very nice staff, but their vegetarian menu is misleading. The curries that are listed under the vegetarian section have fish sauce in them! Luckily I called to double check and they were very sweet, but highly recommend they label their menu more clearly.

Came in with a girlfriend for the lunch special. It's a really cute corner place, lots of natural daylight & the decor is simple, yet elegant. I ordered the lunch special tofu pad ma kuer & asked w soft tofu and vegan. Maybe because I asked for the dish to be changed, I found it tasting plain. There was not much flavor in my dish. The waitress was very sweet and I will give this place another try. Wanted to split our bill & were asked to pay with one card. CC accepted

Our company had a Going Away Lunch for a fellow worker. Our Director of Finance chose Regent That Restaurant. It wasa very good choice. Although I drove there with my VP, it is within walking distance of the office. Next time I go, I will definitely walk. Especially now that the weather is nicer. I can't remember what everyone had, but I'll review what I remember. For the table we ordered the Pad Mun (fried crab cakes). That was liked by everyone. The Deep Fried Spring Rolls were also a hit--very good. I had the Pad Khring (chicken) and it was excellent. The chicken was tender and the veggies were crisp. The zing of ginger is what put it over the the top. I usually order something like this my first time at a Thai place. If they get it right, I have faith that they can do well with other dishes. Now for the pics.

I ordered pickup from Regent Thai and was disappointed by some of the dishes lack of flavor and small portions. - Som Tum (papaya salad): Very disappointed that more than half of the order was literally just plain lettuce. The papaya salad that was there didn't have much flavor - Pad Se-Eiw: Ordered this spicy but tasted 0 spice. Overall thought this was bland - Double Cook Roasted Duck: Small portion but phenomenal flavor - Gai Regent: Not crispy at all (could've been due to it being take-out). A bit too sweet for me but was overall yummy - Gaeng Khiew Warn: It was alright. Tasted a bit of spice and wish it had more - Tom Kha Gai: Phenomenal - Pad Thai: Kinda bland Overall I thought most dishes were bland and I was particularly disappointed by the stupid amount of lettuce with the papaya salad. The only standout was the double cook roasted duck.

Very tasty lunch special. Fresh ingredients and affordable. Good service. Very nice and attentive. Clean restaurant with calm atmosphere.

Regent thai was a quick easy take out spot on a random weekday night. This is not reminiscent of the most authentic flavors I've had, but is still delicious. I ordered pad see ew which I devoured before taking a picture that was quote flavorful but definitely leaned on the sweeter side. The gaeng phed pedal yang was a duck red curry that was very creamy and delicious, but not that spicy at all despite me asking for medium 2 chili peppers on the menu. Additionally if you want to order rice you need to order it separately so I'd say the value is just okay for the price.

Between a place you would go out to and a neighborhood place. Could not tell if the food was proper Thai in that we did not have my usual. It was nice nevertheless. I would come back.

Nice little neighborhood spot. I've been going here for years. It has had its ups and downs the past few years. I think if ownership changed but I don't know for sure. I wouldn't say it is a place you'd drive crosstown to eat at but if you're in NoeValley it's good. Very clean and the inside has been fixed up. I think I they could use more waiters. Only one waiter and the kitchen staff had to help her out. But everyone was friendly. Went for lunch with a pal and the veggie pad Thai and chicken satay were both tasty . Try it if you're looking for a pleasant lunch in Noe.

This place was clean and inviting. We were seated pretty quickly for Saturday dinner service around 6pm. I ordered the pra ram with brown rice, which has been a favorite dish of mine for years. This was my first time trying it here. The veggies were cooked perfectly and the rice came out shaped like a heart. My protein was tofu and I was a little disappointed in the flavor and counted (only) five bites of tofu. The peanut sauce was a light flavor and it could have been bolder. Overall, it was a good experience but not very memorable.

* date visited: 08.07.2024 * ordered: nuer gra prow service was super attentive and they were very kind, we had a large group and they were able to accommodate us well which was appreciated! the flavors of my dish were really good, i added some extra chili flakes but even without the addition, the dish was dimensional -- spicy, slightly sour, savory. the lemongrass, basil, and bell peppers added a lot of bright elements to the dish. the beef itself was not as tender as i would've hoped for and the portion was quite small for the price.

Me and my family LOVE Regent Thai Restaurant and order from there several times a month. My most recent visit I stopped by for lunch on Wednesday and the restaurant was bustling with patrons, as well as with folks stopping by to pick up take-out orders. It's a warm and inviting ambience with kind staff. I ordered the Gra Prow with chicken; the lunch specials come with a side of white or brown rice. I also ordered Pad Se-eiw with chicken for my husband. I can't give enough praise to Regent Thai for their fresh veggies and delicious dishes!

Love trying new Thai spots and this restaurant was on my list! I really like the pricing and plating but the portions felt a little small. Food also was a bit underwhelming with spice, even after adding chili flakes and paste it did not increase spice much. I like the meat and how they don't charge additional for beef. Tastes good, but was expecting larger portions because it's Thai food and I was still hungry after.

The trout was sooo yum! Not as spicy as what I'd think two pepper signs meant, but did come with fresh jalapeno slices. The sauce perfectly complimented the fried fish, and there were barely any bones at all. Dishes came out fast and we were able to make a reservation for around 15 people. The restaurant isn't huge, but is spacious enough and has comfy seating. There is street parking outside.

I come here every time I'm in the city. The service is great and the food is even better. They have a really nice lunch special that is the perfect amount of food. I suggest the yellow curry and chicken skewers.

Been eating here for years at least 10 years maybe 15 years. I seen them go through changes but the food is always hella good. Most of all it tastes fresh to me and made with love. Cute inside there, it's more modern now. I miss when they used to wear the Thai dresses. Anyway a MUST try is the tofu cho roos appetizer! Good curry and fried rice, noodles too and I really like the fried shrimps wrapped in paper. I always get take out here but when I did dine in they were friendly & quick. I might have to go this weekend! Update: 10/24/24 I decided to eat here and dine in this time but the food was not as good as I remember. So Im changing my rating accordingly.

Our friends got takeout from Regent Thai and it was good! High 3 stars. * Pad Thai - 3 stars. A bit bland, not a lot of veggies. * Pad Se-eiw - 3 stars. Very spicy! * Chicken Satay - 3 stars. Kids enjoyed it. * Pineapple Duck Curry - 4 stars. Very delicious, the meat was tender and moist.

Quaint little spot in the mission~ Food was good and they are able to accommodate big groups of people as long as you have reservation ahead of time. Decor was very cute and servers would regularly come up to us to checkin. They have a good selection of vegetarian items and can make a lot of stuff veg. They also had chips and a little dipping sauce in the beginning but unfortunately they are shrimp chips :( I got pad kee mao which was really good the flavor was def there they didn't come to play with the seasonings! and veggies were charred as well. Food came out relatively fast and they had little tamarind candies on their way out which were so delicious and a perfect mouth refresher. Prices were pretty good but I guess for the portion size it was accurate.

I don't recommend anybody go try this place. First of all, the prices are HIGH and the portion of the food are very little. Not only that,the worse thing was I already tips them 18% and they charged my VISA 25%. I checked my receipt showed they charged me 7% more, I talked to my bank and they wanted me to dispute the charge and fill out so many forms. I don't want to waste my time for that. Please,don't make the same mistake like I did. There are so many much better restaurants out there waiting for you. DO NOT COME HERE.

It's the ONLY place for Thai food in the city! Been going for over 20 years! I take all my visiting friends and they LOVE it!

I Love me a good Thai food any day.. But this particular place we went to tonight was just okay! I wish I could give it a solid 5 stars but for some reason it was kind of off night for me?!? However..my hubby loved the food! I'll explain my version of why I didn't find this place spectacular?!! We didn't drive far to get there... So far so good when we got a parking right in front of the restaurant! We see from inside the windows there's a few people inside having dinner! As we enter in..I proceed to the front of the desk where I guess you let someone know you want a table?!? Mind you.. it was a pretty long walk up there!! Finally..this lady asked us if we're doing take out or dining in?? I tell her...we're eating here! Then another girl comes out from the kitchen..smiling finally @ us..and says..you can choose any table! :)) We sat down and the nice smiley girl gives us 2 menus..2 waters and this delicious little dish of crunchy shrimp chips and a dip which I liked! As we're chomping on the shrimp chips..my hubby looks @ the menu of what we can order! I can't really see coz I forgot my glasses! Lol! :-0 I'll include the rest of the pictures of our food with a number and descriptions of what we ate! As my hubby orders the food..I ask the smiley girl I'd like to get a Thai tea! She was kind to give us one more helping of that yummy shrimp chips! Also..it did take awhile for her to come back to our table when we were ready to order..the smiley girl was busy attending to other customers inside and the other lady nearby the kitchen was busy too I guess getting ready the take out orders for pick up??? Which later I noticed about 6 different customers come in to pick up their food so I think it's great that they're busy tonight on a Tuesday?!? :)) Not too long that our food came right away..first..it was our Deep fried spring rolls and the SomTum which was shredded Papaya salad! Both were very good and yummy! :)) Maybe we should have had the Papaya salad more spicy but I told hubby no on the spicy! My bad! :(( Then my Jasmin rice came and my hubby's brown rice came along with our main course meals!! I really appreciated the heart shaped rice they gave us! :)) Hmmm..upon looking @ the dishes.. It was kind of small?!? I mean..the serving was odd in my opinion! I see small servings of the Woonsen noodles and I merely saw more veggies with 6-7 small strips of white chicken a lot of mushrooms and carrots but hardly any noodles?!?! I think the noodles were just prepared for one person?!? I'd thought from previous other Thai restaurants I've been to..More Noodles given are the focal point of why it's called on the menu as a description of Woonsen Noodles should overpower the veggies!?! See the receipt...I'm a bit confused! Then we got another dish called Tofu Pad Ma Kuer which is basically tofu..eggplant with veggies! I love eggplant but I needed more of it!! Okie..this one was good but not great enough to say I'd order it again It lacked flavor and so did the other dish with hardly any noodles lacked flavor?!! I'm sorry..I really needed my packets of soy sauce which I had in my glove compartment! It would be embarrassing for me to go get that so I just ate the food coz I was really hungry! Which by the way..I was still hungry after our meal!! :-0 Overall..it was a very nice little corner restaurant with pretty decors on the walls and the smiley girl was very nice to always fill our waters when it became empty! The service was just okay..the food was just okay! I'd probably come back just coz my hubby enjoyed his food and maybe we could try other things in the menu! It seemed that it was busy all around today probably with the support of nearby neighbors coming to this restaurant! Thank you Regent Thai for a lovely dinner! We hope next time I'd like to give you a higher score! :))

One of my new favorite Thai spots in San Francisco! Regent Thai has a lovely atmosphere and is very clean and nicely decorated, and has an extensive menu on the classic Thai dishes as well as many more. I especially recommend the tofu choo ros appetizer. It's crispy tofu with a surprisingly sweet taste.

MY FAVORITE THAI SPOT! I could order here once a week if I had the opportunity to. Their Pad See Ew with tofu is my go-to. I always grab their spicy wings as well. Slowly but surely making my way through their selective menu but it's warming to know you'll get exactly what you want every single time. Definitely order ahead to make pickup easier considering this spot can be packed on the weekends.

As much as my heart is set on giving this place a good review, the misinformation on the menu earned this place 2 stars in my book. I skipped the lunch special (available everyday till 3 pm) and went for the vegetarian dishes listed on the menu. I also ordered the Tom Yum soup vegetarian. When the food arrived, it smelled different and upon questioning, it was confirmed that both dishes contained fish sauce. I have never had a restaurant use fish sauce in their vegetarian-explicit dishes. After getting the entree without fish sauce, we were told the soup could not be remade. None of the soups, papaya salad, the crispy tofu (listed as vegetarian), and addtl appetizers could be made vegetarian without fish sauce. Apart from that, the dish was fresh although just decent quantity for the price. The Thai tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. The ambience was peaceful and away from a lot of hustle - almost felt like a suburban restaurant.

My daughter and I regularly go to Regent Thai and love it. The service is great and the food is very flavorful. Many other Thai restaurants we have tried are either too oily or not flavorful while Regent Thai gets it just right. We've had Pad See Ew and Pumpkin Curry most often but we have tried other dishes we like equally as well.

We love Regent Thai. I have been coming here for as long as I can remember. The food is always delicious and the service is quick. Whether you dine in or pick up. I am currently loving the catfish twice fried. So good. I mean like really good. My son is always asking to come here or grab take out.

I have been going here for over 20 years and they have changed hands a few years back but the food has always been very good and good prices but the waiter that served us today Aug 2 nd was extremely rude and his attire looked like he just got out of bed and he wanted us to pack up our own food and hurry up and leave . I asked was he the owner and he said it was his brother . and all our food was cold except the soup..Service has really gone down they use to have very nice people serving in Thai dress and were always so accomodating.

Regent Thai continues to impress after so many years! We placed a large order for a dinner event serving 50 people, and everything was exceptional -- flavorful, generous, and beautifully prepared. Our guests raved about the delicious curries (yellow, green, and Panang), the beautifully scored vegetables, and the tender chicken and beef. The pad see ew was a crowd favorite, and the chef's specials -- yellow prawns and golden salmon -- were truly outstanding. The staff made the experience even better. Preeya was incredibly helpful during the initial order, Kay ensured a smooth pickup, and Chef Busara's warmth and joy shine through in every dish. Thank you all -- we'll definitely be back!

Today was my first time trying this Thai spot! Its such a cute little spot. Right on the corner with lots of windows for lots of natural light. The menu has so many options to choose from. I ordered the shrimp fried rice, the fried veggie spring rolls and the Thai tea! All of it was exceptionally good! I have no complaints. They seemed to have a small staff but she was great! She checked in on us frequently and kept our waters filled and napkins on the table. She was really sweet and paid attention to detail which is always a bonus when your a server. Its the small things that makes an experience great! Overall I recommend this place if your in the city looking for Thai food!

Craving affordable, delicious Thai food in a cute space? Regent Thai had friendly, FAST service with delicious, well-portioned dishes spanning American faves and not so common items like duck in red curry. We will absolutely back to try the whole menu.

I've been going here for many many years and it's still my go to place for Thai in the city! We ordered the Pad Thai with Beef, Pad Sew You with Duck, Yellow Curry with Chicken and the Eggplant with Pork. These are usually our go to options for lunch and all are super good. The portions aren't the biggest but for the price of it, it is reasonable. The place is huge with cute plates. But the service was a bit slow, only because there was only 1 waitress doing everything. They used to have all these items in the lunch menu, however they have changed it and now the only thing on the lunch menu is the yellow curry. This meant that the eggplant didn't come with rice so we had to order a side of it. Overall I think this place is a good place for lunch! Would recommend it if you're around the area.

Called twice to make sure my take out order was placed but when I showed up to pick it up, they did not even have the order. Bummed as I enjoyed the food the last time I ate there; that time too the food was not ready when I came to pick up and I had to wait 20 mins for it .

Always delicious food, excellent service, both for take out and dine in. Been there before and will be there again.

Very delicious place! The service is good, I love that the waiters wear traditional Thai clothing. The food is served on beautiful blue and white dishes. There is also gorgeous wall art. Now for the food: They start you off with complimentary shrimp chips with sauce. We have tried some appetizers they were not bad, we will keep trying for our favorites. The best dish hands down is the shrimp curry, ( I forget the name in Thai) it is DELECTABLE! The rice is comes in a heart shape The pad Thai is also good We will be back for more!

Dinner during pandemic. Able to dine inside. - Golden Bags. Sort of a potato curry inside fried wonton skins. Tasty. - Stuffed Chicken Wings. Good. - chicken with vegetables. Can't remember exactly which dish this was, but it was also good. - shrimp pad Thai. Also good. - mango and sticky rice dessert. Of the dishes we got, I liked this one the best. Overall, the food and service was good.

Very friendly Local neighborhood restaurant. Good authentic Thai food at an affordable price.

Have been a customer of this restaurant for as long as it's been in my neighborhood, Noe Valley. Have always enjoyed the food, service, customer service, & ambiance. Due to rainy day, decided to get takeout. Ordered beef with broccoli, chicken in peanut sauce and one other dish. To my dismay, I basically paid $45.00 for brown rice and broccoli. One would have to search for signs of beef or chicken. Very disappointed. Understand the cost of running a restaurant and paying for food is costly but this is truly unacceptable.

This is my friends' favorite Thai restaurant and they invited me and my family to experience it. It's a cute little place with lots of families dining. The staff are very friendly. The food is solid. We loved the Golden Salmon, tofu red curry, the chicken skewers, and vegetarian salad. I look forward to coming back.

Not enough waiters it takes a year seems like to order water . Food ok but seems no difference in way of cooking bet two entrees

Overall great food! The servers were all friendly. It seems like they recently renovated inside, the lighting is a lot brighter which was a little jarring. But overall satisfied with the food and experience.

Great food, nice selection. They have really nice selection, and you can't go wrong with anything. Delicious! Would definitely recommend!

Every dish that is served here is fresh and so innovative and tasty. Presentation is always perfect. Curry's are perfectly spiced. For years it's been a pleasure to have lunch here.

the Panaeng Gung and Pad Kee Mao were delicious here! i would recommend ordering a side of rice withe the panaeng gung!

Solid Thai place for takeout. Most curries are gluten free. They'll make some items like pad Thai or pad see ew gluten free! (It appears to be making the items without soy sauce at all, rather than subbing tamari, so it's a little bland and disappointing, but it's still great to have that option.)

Regent Thai is my top spot for Thai food--the atmosphere is so warm and friendly, it just adds to the whole experience. It's the kind of place where you can really relax and enjoy amazing food.

I've passed this place numerous times without batting an eye, so after our kids doctor appointment, we decided to grab lunch here out of convenience... I wish we'd had gone sooner! The food was awesome! I ordered the Pad Thai with Duck and it was out of this world!!! All of the ingredients were fresh and quite honestly made it the best pad Thai I've had in the City. We also ordered the Golden Bags and Shrimp Chips, which was spectacular too. The quality of food was on point! The service was awesome as well! There was one waitress (as we were there for lunch), but she was attentive and friendly, even bringing kids plates to the table. We are definitely going back!!!

I enjoyed a wonderful lunch on a weekday for my boyfriends Birthday recently with family. We shared a handful of dishes including: -ginger salmon -eggplant and tofu -tom yum gung -tom yum gai -pad thai with prawns Most of the dishes came with a side of rice (white or brown) shaped as a tree. The dishes were cooked well with lots of flavor. The pieces of salmon were lightly fried with just the right amount of crisp to them. I've never had a dish quite like it. The tom yum gai was my favorite out of the soups and hit the spot on a cold winter day. I ordered a hot Thai tea to wash all the delicious food down. I've never had thai tea before, it's not strong at all and has a very subtle flavor to it. They offer free refills. Our server was very nice and made sure to take our order in a timely manner. There were a good amount of people dining during the lunch hour and I understand why. We couldn't get enough of their food and ended up ordering more. Before going to Regent Thai I've only tried one other restaurant on Church Street and I have to say Regent Thai is a winner!

Perfect lunch to satisfy my Thai craving I work around the neighborhood but I've never tried this place before. I had a Thai food craving but I was kinda sick of the usual Thai place that I go to, so I walked a couple blocks more to come to Regent. And I am soo glad I did! I ordered their lunch special Pad See ew $10.95. I requested it spicy too. The food tasted perfect! Taste was exactly how I wanted it, with dried chilli pepper spice, soy sauce, sugar and fish sauce taste. The veggies were surprisingly fresh and they are not overly greasy. The portion was on the smaller side but the price was so cheap so it was perfect for a light lunch! I love everything about this dish and I cannot wait to try their other dishes!

I love ordering take out from here! Super quick and easy by phone. Ordered a few times already and they have never messed up. The food is always on point. Love getting their chicken pad see ew, satay chicken, crispy duck, and Thai fried rice. 5/5 recommend crispy duck over white rice or over fried rice YUM. Recently tried their golden bags which is a deep fried potato curry dumpling. It was good too. No outdoor seating but they have good amount of indoor seating. Nice ambiance, usually a packed house for dinner. Oh! They do close between lunch and dinner time from 3pm-5pm!

What a good menu, nothing disappoints! I love how spicy they make it if you ask for Thai spicy! Careful though it's explosive. Love the golden bags and all the curries and anything on the lunch menu. You gotta check this place, even if you're outside of Now Valley! They get it all together so fast and authentic!
