Came here for a team lunch. I found it interesting that their menu are all sets - it was a nice way to try a bunch of different foods, including dessert. I decided to get the beef set. At first, I thought the set was a bit small, but I ended up not even finishing everything! I was quite astonished by the curry - it was so flavorful and the beef melts in your mouth. The eggplant was also quite nice, and I'm not the biggest fan of eggplant so it's quite the compliment. The coconut dessert was also delicious - not too sweet but still impactful in terms of flavor. The service was decent. They even let us bring in a birthday cake (I called in advance just to make sure) and provided candles for us, which was nice. read more

Hed verythai - Beef Set - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

A great Thai spot tucked in the alleyway. Their main dishes are served kind of like a Bento-box where you get a plate with soup, salad, protein, vegetable, rice, and dessert bowls. The price is decent given that you are essentially eating a full course meal. There is plenty to eat on the plate. I liked my pork belly dish. It was flavorful and not too much fat on it. Staff is friendly and prompt. They check back on you from time to time. Atmosphere is moderate noise. read more

Really liked the food and the presentation of how it comes in a set. Also impressed at how quickly the food came out considering we had a group of 8. Location is a little unusual feeling to get to, just commit and you'll find it in the alley. Would love to come back and try the other sets. read more

#3 chicken set with Coconut dessert. $26.01 not including tip. There is an art to living life where the order of experiences impact each other synergistically. When it comes to food, we all already know that dessert comes last as to cleanse the palette, but what about when it comes to an arrangement like this? I was on a quest to discover the cosmic order that transcended preference. I am not a scientist, but I know when a couple meets, 1+1=4. Peanut butter + jelly are way better together instead of by themselves. There was more than to these 6 dishes served individually as they were served together to create a far greater experience. Chicken & rice is a classic combo that really transcends cultures. I ended up pouring my "Thai Massaman Peanut curry with chicken" on the rice. The rice really soaked up the juices, it was so good. Next, my mouth experienced contrast therapy. It experienced a nice sauna from the hot chicken curry and took a cold plunge from the "Central Thai-style green papaya salad". The one thing that I could not understand was the "Thai coconut mushroom soup". It was sour and really interrupted my contrast therapy. Next time, I'll figure that out. The "Sautéed Butternut Squash" you could really eat in between everything. It complimented the chicken as something savory. When I wanted a break from the chicken, I took a stab at the squash. The "Homemade Pudding" was ate at the end and it was OK. I got the Coconut, but the sugar tasted off. I am very picky with sugar, I cannot have any processed sugar, I cut that stuff out 5 years ago and life could never be better. Overall, the mystery really turned this into a 5/5 experience. The "Homemade pudding" despite being ok, still did its job of cleansing the palette. With regards to the "Thai coconut mushroom soup", I just didn't understand the art. Whoever does understand the art or who has written a book about it, please please refer it to me. read more

Had lunch here with my friend who used to work nearby. The restaurant entrance is located in the back of an alley, so unless you are really looking you'll probably miss it. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious with high ceilings and seating on both sides of a central walkway. We were seated quickly (restaurant was empty at around noon on Monday) and water brought out. The menu was interesting: with the exception of appetizers, food came in sets of multiple dishes with different prices. I opted for set 3 with chicken, but there are also beef or vegan sets. Food took a while to come out, but it was presented nicely. The curry chicken was delicious and not too spicy (by request), the papaya salad was very good, and the soup was flavorful. The mango dessert ended the meal very nicely. The food was very good and we had no complaints. What took away from the experience was the fact that the restaurant was super loud. Even though our table was in a corner, we had real difficulties hearing what our friend was saying. It almost seemed like everyone was yelling, which was annoying. While we all enjoyed the food, we did not like the loud atmosphere. Maybe we will come back again for the food. read more

Hed verythai - Chicken set - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cute hidden spot right at the heart of downtown. Got their set menu. Huge variety, full of flavor. Very tasty, delicious. Highly recommend it. Came by during a weekday lunch time. If you come before 12:00 you get a table. If you come after that you will have to wait in line even though they have a lot of sitting, they get packed. So either come before 12:00 or after 1:00 if possible. Unfortunately seems like they only have one waitress during peak hours, which made service very very limited, but their food's good and the price is fair. Will be back. By the way, they are in this little alley. That seems like there's nothing there but a parking lot, but they're there. read more

The sets were delicious and had a wide range of options which were great. It does lean a bit on the sweet side but overall had lots of flavor! For a Sunday night, service was fast but the waitress can be a tad pushy when ordering. I think asking if we're ready or if we'd like to order drinks/dessert rather than a command is more standard but regardless, still had a good food experience! read more

We went here off of a friend's recommendation, and I am so glad we did! This Thai restaurant is tucked away in a random side street, so you'll probably miss it if you're not specifically looking for it. I would highly highly recommend one of their sets (chicken, beef, pork, or vegetarian). The food is delivered to you on a beautiful 6-piece set tray which includes your choice of protein, 2 colored rice, a soup, papaya salad, a side (eggplant, squash), and a dessert (mango gelatin). This was a fantastic well-balanced meal that let's you try a little of everything. All the dishes were well-seasoned and the flavors were immaculate. They also have great drinks. I've never had a "dirty" Thai tea before (alcoholic version). So if you're in the area, this is a must try! read more

I really like the food here. I got the crispy pork and chicken set. The fragrant rice and pork belly were delicious. The coconut soup has hearty chunks of chicken. The papaya salad and brussel sprouts were just okay. I think it's pretty pricey at around $40 before tip. That said, I think it's still worth trying. read more

I've never had Thai food in a bento box style before. It was a great way to try multiple dishes at once. I got the chicken set and it was sooo good. The chicken curry was my favorite part of the bento. I loved the freshness of the papaya salad. The mushroom soup and butternut squash paired so well with everything. You even get a choice of dessert at the end. I liked the mango pudding more than the coconut but both were good. The chicken satay was also another standout delish. Great service and such beautiful decor. Parking here is tough so I suggest parking at the White House garage which is about a block away. read more

Very cute sets of Thai food - really enjoyed the variety of dishes you can try. Got the beef set and my partner got one of the special sets. Loved all the items in my set, but the curry noodle free soup with beef was the best one! A bit pricey for what it is but a very cute place and tasty experience overall read more

I went here Friday night for dinner with some friends. It wasn't too busy, so we were able to be seated immediately. The beef was tender and flavorful from the curry. Butternut squash and eggplant were soft and savory. Papaya salad gave brightness and crunch to the entire meal. They only had mango pudding, but it was lightly sweet with a bit of crunch. I love that they provide a set of various things. It felt like a well rounded meal. It was really filling and not too expensive at around $32 with tax. We were a group of 4 and we were able to split the bill with 2 cards. It's a pretty casual spot, but it was amazing for catching up with my friends. When it's packed, it could be a bit more difficult for conversations. There's a restroom which was pretty clean. Service was good. read more

Hed verythai - beef set - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here on two different occasions. I like the pork a lot more than the beef. I'm personally not a fan of eggplant and squash in general. These were pretty good though. I tried a bit of the winter menu pork and honestly, it isn't worth the 2x price. The crispy pork tastes better, but I love the dessert of the normal set so much. It's really time really good pudding. It's a neat set experience but I think for Thai food, I prefer Khao Tiew. Staff is friendly, and restaurant dining area is nice. read more

I have been wanting to come here for a long time. You wouldn't find it too easily just walking buy its tucked away in a little ally corner. The space is so livley, and it was almost full on a Tuesday 7pm for dinner! There are so many options for the sets - many meat and tofu options. We did the regular tofu and the seasonal tofu sets. Wow so flavourful and creative! The sauces in the dishes are just so good - we loved the no noodle pad thai, the mix of rices, the coconut soup, the black rice dessert. Very quick service and kind staff. I will for sure be back! #vegetarian read more

This is a hidden gem. It is tucked in an alley so don't be surprised if you see trash bins here and there on your way here. Lighting gives a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Though Monica was the only server tending to all customers, she was calm and provided good service. They offer set dishes. Set 2 was delicious. It had caramelized pork belly, coconut mushroom soup, spicy sauteed eggplant, green papaya salad, mix of 3 different rice, and homemade pudding. Each dish is was individually great and bursting with flavor! Dining here was a lovely experience. Highly recommend! read more

I've been here 4-5 times by now. I first came with a friend and have brought my boyfriend and parents back here on subsequent visits. They have all loved it! This is the place my parents will think of when they want to go out for a special celebration meal. You always get 6 little dishes of food with each set. Although I say "little" they are actually very filling. Even my dad, who usually eats a lot says it's a good amount of food. Every dish is always amazing! I love the mushroom coconut soup. The protein dish is always amazing. The squash or eggplant (depending on which set you get) is always amazing too. They're very well seasoned but you can still taste freshness of the ingredients. I always grab a Thai Tea and this time I also got a Chrysanthemum tea for my mom. The chrysanthemum tea tastes a like a VitaSoy drink so it's pretty good. We will always come back for another special occasion. read more

We were in a rush and couldn't get their set meals, so we had the chicken satay and pork belly these quick bites. We let our host know we were short on time, and she's very accommodating. Our food arrived quickly with only a short wait. Kutos to the host! The chicken satay came with chicken skewers with house made peanut sauce and pickles. The Cripsy pork belly with cabbage, which came with pork belly, fish sauce, chilli cabbage, and thai scauce. Both tasted really good, but the flaovr was a bit too salty for my taste. read more

The menu options are prefixed "sets" that you choose from so for example the chicken set comes with a (small) soup, salad, veggie you can't change. If you just want one entree you're out of luck. The chicken set I got was ok but nothing standout, the curry was meat heavy and there was a lot of rice but not much curry sauce. Also, the rice was a mix of three different kinds which was a bit odd. I left a bit hungry but tried to finish some of the mango dessert to fill up more. Also, the restaurant itself is very loud and hard to have any sort of conversation in read more

Excellent Thai food in a trendy & hip modern ambience with warm hospitality, tasty options, generous portions and reasonable prices. There are menu sets with different dishes in each set to choose from. Meat & veggie options available. My dining companion and I each ordered a different set and shared our dishes. The big bowl of rice includes a trio of white, brown & black rice. The papaya salad, Tofu, eggplant and soups were tasty as were the chicken dish and other side dishes. I like how each set is elegantly served in small dishes & bowls on a tray. I will be back to try more dishes. read more

Came here mid week for a dinner. I was pretty hungry and left STUFFED. The set menu is great- you get a bunch of different flavors and dishes to bounce around while eating and it's a lot of food. The ribeye green curry was exceptional. It was spicy, flavorful, and full of meat! The chicken soup was refreshing. And the shrimp salad was really well seasoned. Also the Brussels sprouts (one of my favorite veggies) were well cooked and burst with flavor. Heads up- the food has a kick with it so let them know if you're not great with spice. read more

Hed verythai - Beef, Chicken, and Shrimp Winter Set Menu - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Unfortunately I had pretty high expectations here, and it just seemed to miss the mark. Friday evenings are pretty packed, so recommend a reservation. The interior is so beautiful and well decorated, I could admire it forever. The space is very open and they've done a good job making it comforting but not too homey. We got the veg set and the chicken set, and added on the tofu satay and Thai tea. Somehow, the Thai tea was the star of the show. So creamy and not too sweet! The veg set was unfortunately just so much tofu. I wish there were more veggies or even just a curry with potatoes or something to change up the palate. The chicken set was just fine. Everything seemed to be missing just a touch of flavor. The soup is good and the dessert is good, but everything else is just okay and very similar to other restaurants in the city. The tofu satay is also just a lot of .... tofu and not much flavor. I do appreciate the concept of a set meal, so there feels like a lot of potential here! read more

Very solid spot for a lunch, although a bit on the pricier side. It is tucked into an unassuming alley, but the inside is surprisingly spacious. There may be street parking near, or you can park in the St Mary's Square Garage about 1.5 blocks away. There was only one other table around 11:30am on a Saturday. They had light music playing inside, which was pretty calming. There are also some appetizers you can get in addition to the lunch sets, but we didn't get those (satay, Brussels sprouts, etc). The sets do come with a lot of food, especially if you eat the whole thing. I opted for the pork belly set. The accompaniments were tasty and seasoned well - spicy eggplant (umami and soft) along with the Thai coconut mushroom soup (tangy and slightly creamy). The pork belly itself had a good flavor, but they were on the thinner side. It wasn't like a thick cut pork belly from a Taiwanese or Chinese restaurant, but the flavor was still there. The homemade pudding was a nice dessert - sweet and nutty with some crunchy texture from the sesame seeds and coconut flakes. Overall, everything is solid. I do think the price may deter me slightly from returning unless the portion of meat was more generous. There were a few fruit flies flying around our food while we were eating, which was annoying. Not sure if that's because of the restaurant's location in the alley. It did detract from the overall experience a bit. read more

We had a nice dinner here with friends. I got the Crispy Pork and Chicken Soup set -- the pork was fantastic. It also came with some tasty Brussels sprouts, green papaya salad, 3 kinds of rice, and a sticky rice dessert. Overall, an excellent combo. However, my wife was less satisfied with her Veggie set, noting that the mains tasted far too sweet. Service was warm and friendly, and the vibe of the place is modern and casual. Parking is easy, since it's right next to the Sutter/Stockton Garage. read more

Love the concept of everything coming in a set. It lets you try a bit of everything without overcommitting to a couple of dishes, especially if you aren't in a bigger group. Portion sizes were great, and everything was super flavorful. Everything was very mild and didn't have any spiciness, so if you're looking for heat, you'll have to ask for it.

Love supporting a women owned business and this place is really cute with their meal sets which range from $28-$39 with different protein varieties. I was torn between the beef or pork, but went with a large group so I was able to try both! I personally preferred the sweeter pork option. The beef was good, but a little harder to eat as it was in a small bowl with curry broth. Service is really quick and the staff is really nice! Would recommend stopping by to have lunch or dinner with friends! read more

went on a weekday and arrived at 11:45 a.m. just before the full lunch rush. Suddenly got crazy busy at 12:05, lots of people showed up with reservations. You cannot order a la carte like a common Thai restaurant, everything on the menu is posed as a " set lunch" for one. The food is delicious, flavorful, and I was able to ask for not too spicy green papaya salad. I did appreciate having 3 different rices. Prices are a little high, so not something I would do everyday, but they do try to elevate it and make it more special by having six different components in the pork belly set that I ordered. read more

Hed verythai - Pork belly set - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hed VeryThai is a super popular restaurant located on a side street right in the middle of the financial district. Parking of course is difficult but not impossible. Another important thing is that one should make a reservation because of the small size of the restaurant. Service is good and professional. I was fortunate to get a table for 3 fairly quickly. The food mainly comes in complete meals with four entrees, a dessert and a rice plate. There are usually 4 options a beef, a chicken, a seafood and a vegetarian option. At this time there is also an additional four meals as part of their winter menu. Surprisingly the combinations taste very good and will fill up the average person. The prices were also reasonable for this time and age. One big problem is the restaurant is way too noisy and having a decent conversation is difficult. read more

Such a cute spot! Tucked away in an alley, the decor is very nice and feels classy. Service was quick and very friendly. It wasnt too busy when we first arrived near opening time, but quickly filled up! Food came out quickly (probably because everything is in a set). Very cute idea and the sets are well done. A good amount of food, even though it looks small when it comes out. I loved the papaya salad in my set, and the tri-color rice was a fun idea. Unfortunately some of the pork belly pieces were a little hard, but the flavor was good! My friend's ribeye was delicious! A cute spot, worth hitting up with a date or with friends! read more

My friends and I all chose the pork belly set. The Moowhan - caramelized pork belly with pineapple - was very sweet. The pork was fine, and I especially enjoyed the pineapple. The Thai style spicy papaya salad certainly had a nice kick, but otherwise felt a bit lacking in flavor. The Pad Makhua - Hed's eggplant was standard. The Tomkha Hed - Thai coconut mushroom soup was tangy, creamy, and a little sweet, one of my favorite parts of the meal. The trio of rice seemed like a lot given the amount of accompaniments. The mango pudding for dessert was also fine - tasty but not exceptional. I liked the concept of ordering a set meal and being able to try a little bit of everything. The portion size is fair - no leftovers but we were all satisfied by the amount of food. Service was a bit spotty, and we had to wait a while before getting the check. Our table was wobbly. Ambience was chic and the presentation of the food was nice. At nearly $30 before tip per person with no apps/drinks, I would have expected a bit more from a food and service standpoint. read more
