Amazing food, great atmosphere, and absolutely outstanding service! A huge thank you to Nadine and Monica for taking such great care of us. They were incredibly polite, attentive, and always smiling throughout our entire meal. They truly made our visit to Hed Very Thai memorable. We will definitely be back. read more

Hed verythai - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

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

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

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

Got the seasonal menu set one for the ribeye and shrimp salad. Everything was so delicious. The ribeye curry was a little bit spicy for me, but I have a low spice tolerance, so it's probably perfect for most people. Service was impeccable and ambience was on point. my friend got the seasonal menu set two with the crispy pork and chicken and also loved every single bite. 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

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

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

Just had an amazing lunch at Hed verythai! I tried the chicken set meal and it was soo good! It came with sampler of dishes from chicken curry (10/10), sautéed butternut squash (10/10), Thai coconut mushroom soup (8/10), green papaya salad (9/10, spicy ), rice varieties, and mango pudding (8/10). My server, Natiene (sp?) was incredibly sweet and accommodating :) The ambience was bright and welcoming. I never knew such a beautiful restaurant could be in an alley. 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

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

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

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

Fantastic lunch sets in a beautiful setting tucked away in an alley, Hed really impressed me with their delicious beef set that came with pumpkin, eggplant, papaya salad, 3 different kinds of rice, and mango pudding.

Hed verythai - Beef and chicken sets - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hed verythai offers a unique Thai dining experience, unlike others. The ambience is clean and modern. Service was fast, we were seated immediately, and our waitress was highly attentive. This restaurant offers four different set menu options (beef, pork belly, chicken, and veggie). The dish comes with the main dish, rice, 3 sides, and dessert. I ordered the chicken which was very flavorful and moist. The dessert changes depending on the day. When I went they had the mango pudding, which had a very authentic mango flavor. For larger eaters the portion size may not be enough, but for me it was more than enough. Hed verythai is a great spot if you want a quick, easy, affordable, and delicious Thai meal! 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

Hed verythai - Pork Belly - 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

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

Service - friendly staff Ambiance - quiet Sunday evening with pretty romantic melodic jazz vibes. Would return read more

Such a cute and yummy Thai spot! Portions look small but actually super filling! Book a resy in advance on OpenTable! You can do it the day of but it usually books out before dinner time. The Pork and Beef option was super delicious! We had a sweet white wine on the side that paired perfectly with the meal. Service was super quick and staff were very kind and accommodating. We were one of the last reservations and they did not rush us to finish our food. read more

I would say a 3.5 for food. We ordered the chicken set and found that the flavors were bland. Had to ask for hot sauce. Enjoyed my Thai ice tea though.

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. I got the chicken set, and the chicken was very soft. The interior was clean, felt warm, and had plenty of seating. Food: 8.5/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 8.5/10 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

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

This place was such a nice surprise! I was looking for a last-minute reservation, but because there was a conference in the downtown area, there weren't any spaces left except a spot at this place....you'd only know this place was here if someone told you about it since it's hidden at the end of an alley...but it ended up being a good choice. Their menu is unique since it's not straightforward ala carte options - you choose a set based on a particular meat or a vegetarian option and your set arrives with a soup, appetizer, salad, main dish, rice and dessert. I had the "Beef Set", which was very good - a traditional curry beef stew, sautéed squash, eggplant side dish, green papaya salad, mixed rice and a coconut pudding. Everything tasted very good and I appreciated the variety of flavors in each dish. Considering all the food you get as your set, it ends up being a good deal. Since it's a lot of food, make sure to arrive hungry. The service was good...it was very busy and it seemed like they didn't have enough staff to take care of everyone equally, but they tried. The space is a bit "industrial chic", which is good for the location and fits the atmosphere. read more

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

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

If you're looking for a cute date night spot or an intimate dinner, Hed verythai is the spot! This cozy restaurant at the end of an alley in the FiDi hit all the spots, from vibes, service and food! We came here on a rainy Tuesday evening shortly after they opened and got seated right away. They do take reservations if you're a Type A person, or if you have a larger party. The menu could be a little complicated, but each set comes with an assortment of foods, along with a small sweet treat! I got the seasonal chicken and pork belly set, and my boyfriend got the beef set. I loved everything in the chicken and crispy pork belly set! I've never had a coconut based soup, but it balanced perfectly with the mushrooms, chicken and cilantro. The crispy pork belly was perfectly cooked and seasoned, with pieces of bell pepper to complement them. The papaya salad was a nice change in flavor while eating, and the brussel sprouts were cooked and seasoned really well, but beware they do have a pretty good kick from the thai chilis. The sticky coconut with longang was a perfect way to wrap everything up with this set. For the beef set, the beef was delicious! It was extremely tender, and I liked the pickled onions mixed in, though my boyfriend wasn't the biggest fan. It came with both squash and eggplant, but if you have texture issues like my boyfriend, I'd recommend to try a different set. The coconut pudding was amazing, and the toasted coconut was great with it. Overall, we thought the beef set could have better accompaniment There was only one server at the tine we got there, and she was extremely kind and attentive! She checked in on us during our meal and filled up our waters without needing to be asked. This place is truly a hidden gem, and definitely needs more recognition! Will 100% be coming back read more

Very cool restaurant down an alley street off of Kearney and just within walking distance of the Union Square crowds. They have pre fixed sets of meals that are thoughtful, cute and with a broad range of flavors. Set 1: Beef Includes: Thai curry beef soup - nice chunks and a very good mild curry - mixed well with the three types of rice. Sautéed butternut squash - nice texture and more than you expect. Spicy sautéed eggplant - mushroomy and a tinge of spice. Really, a well done side. Papaya salad - red chile alert! Quite spicy so buyer beware. Rice mix - jasmine, brown and berry. Yes, berry sounds weird but it's super mild. Mango pudding with coconut jelly and black sesame seeds. Yummy! Best part is all these dishes are served simultaneously so feel free to start with dessert!! One thing I didn't like is the management decision to offer free chicken steak for a five star Yelp review. That dilutes the rating system here and not what I would go for. You can ask for a review but can't require a five-star review. So be wary of the legitimacy of some reviews here. Also, there is only one unisex bathroom so budget in wait time and go when you can! That's all. read more

I've been eyeing Hed's set meals for a while now and decided to treat myself while I happened to be in the downtown SF area on a cold, rainy day--greatest decision of the week. The portions may look small at first glance, but each dish is bursting with flavor. Coconut mushroom soup--brothy and slightly creamy but not heavy. I was so surprised by how refreshing this was. Sautéed eggplant--I love Chinese eggplant MMM Pork belly--tossed with pineapple chunks in a sweet soy sauce glaze and topped with radish, cilantro, crispy onions and such. Great flavor! This paired so well with the rice. However, I do think slightly more tender pieces of pork would take this dish to a whole new level. I swapped out the mango/coconut pudding for the seasonal dessert, which was a coconut black sticky rice with longan (a distant relative of the lychee fruit). Trust me when I say I still think about this to this day...the hint of salt in the coconut sauce brought everything together in the most perfect way and made this an unforgettable dessert. This spot is absolutely worth it. The flavors, balance, and attention to detail make it one of the most memorable meals I've had in a while. read more

Hed verythai - Pork Belly Set - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

TLDR; meh food for the price. Veggie set was disappointing but beautifully presented I came here to grab dinner with a friend while visiting the city. Service was quick and courteous -- we were seated quickly and they were patient with me while I waited for my friend to arrive. It seems like a popular place, with a buzzy atmosphere on a Tuesday night. The food itself was...fine. I don't remember everything included in the Seasonal Veggie Set, but I wasn't impressed by anything really. The rice texture was a bit off. The cabbage wasn't flavored particularly well. The sour tofu curry was interesting as I haven't had anything like that at a Thai place before, but there wasn't much depth to the flavor. The pad Thai was especially disappointing. It felt like it was all bean sprouts. Worst of all, it was almost $40 a person! I would not come back. read more

Hed verythai - Seasonal Set 3 : Vegan Set - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

It was packed at lunch time. We had to sit at the bar as we didn't have reservations. But luckily the tables turned around pretty fast for lunch. I like the idea that we got to taste a little bit of everything in a bento box/set menu (including soup, rice, salad, protein and veggie and dessert). The food was served a little cold probably because they were prepare in advance rather than made-per-order. I am not impressed with the dessert at all. There was not much of a service. Each bento is around $24ish to $38ish (before tip and tax). I haven't been to SF downtown for a while. Hard to comment on the price. It seems pretty good portion but is the price what you spend on average for lunch nowadays?! read more

I loveee Hed verythai, I try to go here if I'm in the area during dinner time. They have different set menus you can order and a seasonal menu too, which various components. I love that you basically get a portion of everything - appetizer, entree, side and dessert - and it may not look like a lot but I'm definitely full afterwards. The food is also delicious and sooo flavorful. The place is more intimate and dimly lit, but it can get loud/hard to hear at dinner. Service is quick, but I just love that I can try basically everything here in one item order :) read more

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

Decent Thai food in downtown SF. I went when they opened on a weekday and got seated immediately. The decorations are cute and the service was good. I got the seasonal combo, and unfortunately, the expensive price does not justify the mediocre quality of the food. Food: - Seasonal combo (3/5). The plating and presentation of the food was immaculate. But the food quality was mediocre. Here's what's in the combo: 1. Ribeye Laarb: 2/5. The meat is on the tough side, but the seasoning was delicious. 2. Tomkha Gai: 4/5. Chicken coconut Thai soup was the highlight of the combo. The soup was super comforting, and I love the taste of the chicken and coconut together. 3. Sautéed spicy cabbage: 3/5. A little bit on the sour side, it was a standard salad. 4. Lotus root salad with shrimps: 3/5. Great concept! The salad also felt pretty standard. 5. 3 colors rice: 4/5. Love the presentation of the dish! 6. Longan Sticky Rice: 4/5. This dessert was good! I love the refreshing longan paired with the sticky rice in coconut milk. read more
