Zen Yai serves up a rotating array of traditional Thai delights, including their renowned boat noodles, all in a charming, budget-friendly setting.
"Famous for its combination boat noodles, served in a beefy, blood-fortified broth with meat, greens, and crispy pork cracklings, Zen Yai is one of SF’s quintessential — and quintessentially affordable — Thai spots. The Tenderloin restaurant is now open for takeout every day except Tuesdays; call in or walk up to order." - Luke Tsai
