    Pork Tom Yum Noodle Soup
    Austin W.

    My friends and I stopped by Lers Ros around 8:00 p.m. on a Friday evening and the restaurant was pretty empty. Although we came in a large party of six, we were seated immediately. My wife and I shared two entrees -- the tom yum soup and a fried chicken over fried rice. Food came quickly after we placed our order. With the fried chicken over fried rice dish, the fried chicken was incredibly juicy; I'm certain chicken thigh was the cut that was used. However, although the breading was crispy, it was slightly oily and actually separated from the chicken when picked up with chopsticks. The fried rice is really well done here. Each grain of rice is nicely separated, there are small pieces of fried egg distributed throughout, and it is overall well-seasoned. I thought the tom yum soup here was just average. It's not overly sour nor spicy, it's got a generous portion of rice noodles, and there's a pretty standard amount of toppings in the bowl, including pork meatballs, bean sprouts, ground pork, and fish cakes. I believe I've had more complex, more herbaceous tom yum broths elsewhere. Overall, Lers Ros was a 4-star experience for me. Although the food is closer to 3.5, the good value you get with the large portions for the price and the friendly, attentive service makes up for it.

    Grilled Beef Salad
    Willy T.

    I ate here on a Saturday afternoon. My brother ate at a sister restaurant once before so we went to try this location as a family. There were a lot of homeless people outside and I felt bad for this business. It was pretty empty but a lot of delivery orders were being fulfilled. We ordered black pepper beef, pad see ew with beef, fish cake, hot and sour soup with chicken, grilled beef salad and chili paste eel. We wanted to order the alligator but they ran out. They also ran out of venison that day so we got eel instead. The interior is very nice and clean. The walls have motivation quotes on them. Tables are moveable so large parties can combine them to sit together. Our food started coming after 10 minutes and slowly trickled in. The soup came first and was nice and comforting, albeit simple. The fish cake is good. It has a nice chew and flavorful aroma. The grilled beef was a bit chewy but had good flavor and crust. The eel was not up my alley. It was bitter and had too many bones to be enjoyable. It was not worth eating in my opinion. The pad we ew was excellent. It was flavored well. Our black pepper beef was forgotten but they gave it to us before we left. It was tender but didn't taste that good because it was too salty. My favorite dishes were the pad see ew and the grilled beef salad.

    Thai Coconut Soup
    Melody L.

    Visited Ler Ros in the Tenderloin on a Friday night and was surprised to find the dining room pretty quiet, even though they were busy with lots of takeout orders. We started with the papaya salad, which came out much spicier than the mild we requested. It was fresh and vibrant, just far hotter than expected. We also ordered the pork shoulder, which had good flavor but was unfortunately quite chewy. The crispy catfish was the highlight of the meal, perfectly fried with a light crunch and a flavorful sauce that brought everything together. We had the Tom Kha Kai as well, comforting and aromatic with a nice balance of coconut, lemongrass, and lime. Overall, it's a good spot for Thai comfort food.

    Really solid spot for Thai food. We came by after our initial dinner plans fell through and I didn't expect much from Lers Ros as it was empty when we visited for Saturday dinner but the food turned out to be really great! The menu is huge so it was hard deciding what to order but we ended up getting the raw shrimp salad, grilled beef salad, thai herb sausage, and pineapple fried rice. We got medium spice for everything and it was just perfect! First, the raw shrimp salad was so flavorful with lime, lemongrass, chili and garlic. Don't be turned off by raw shrimp, it really just adds to the freshness and it's a great way to start the meal. Next, the beef salad and thai herb sausage. Loved the Northern-style sausage, especially with the lemon pieces and the beef salad was solid as well but the beef itself was a bit chewy. Finally the pineapple fried rice - I haven't had it in a while but they make it really well here and the veggie, tofu, egg option is a great way to get in more veggies. The cooked pineapple was really sweet and the portion is large enough to share between 3-4 people! Lers Ros is a fairly unassuming restaurant but has really great flavors, would definitely come here again despite the not so great location near the tenderloin.

    pad see ew, crispy chicken over fried rice
    Michelle Z.

    Got takeout from here and it was honestly pretty good! The pad see ew had great flavor and was super satisfying. The pork could have been in smaller pieces but I liked the flavor (it was thinner pork rather than thicker slices I usually see at other thai spots). The portion was smaller than expected though for $18. I also tried the crispy chicken over fried rice and the rice was yummy! I didn't love the flavor of the crispy chicken, and because it was takeout, it wasn't super crispy anymore. The portion of rice was a lot bigger than the pad see ew which I appreciated.

    Pad see ew
    Akansha P.

    I really liked this restaurant. I'm always a big fan of Thai food (granted I ordered the same 3-5 things everytime). This time I got the Pad See Ew, Green Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice. The pad see ew was good but definitely could have used more spice to add a kick to it. The green curry was AMAZING. I really really liked it and will definitely order more in the future. It was spicy and punchy and tasted great. This was my first time ever getting mango sticky rice and I personally enjoyed it. The service was good and the restaurant had a good vibe. We were in a corner table off to the side so didn't really get a strong feel for the restaurant's ambiance, but were able to people watch from the window. Overall, I'd get their green curry again and try the pad see ew after asking for it to be a bit spicier.

    The Lers Ros empire has arguably the most authentic Thai cuisine in SF and this is the OG location that started it all. Not the most pleasant neighborhood in the pandemic aftermath but more unique dishes make the trek worth it. Yes they have the standard Thai dishes like the traffic light curries and pad thai, but I love the noodle soups here. Boat noodles, kuay jub, beef tendon noodles, and the roast duck noodles. All savory and herbaceous deliciousness that bring me right back to Bangkok. If food is all that matters, Lers Ros for Thai is solid all around.

    Pad Thai
    Sumi K.

    While the service was fast and the staff was decently nice, the food itself did not taste particularly fresh or flavorful. One of my pet peeves with pad Thai or pad see ew is when the noodles stick together, indicating that they must've been cooked in advance instead of fresh to order. Other than that I wish both dishes had more seasoning.

    I like this Thai restaurant. I really enjoy their house green salad. The portion is large. The salad always tastes fresh. It is consistently well made. Their other appetizers are really good. I like their Thai Herb sausage and grilled pork shoulder. Service is friendly and fast.

Located in the legendary Mission District of San Francisco, this wine bar is a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy small bites and yummy crafted cocktails. Their decor is very chic and I especially loved all of the hardware, glasses, tables, and benches. This place was styled by a great design artist. Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware. Another great feature of this place is that you can buy most of the plants because they have some for sale so after a couple of cocktails, I was ready to redecorate my whole house with all the plants. I ordered a yummy Rose blend that was super crisp. Also enjoyed the Truffle Fungi! A delicious Shiitake and oyster mushrooms with parmesan and arugula on toasted bread. Their Spanish inspired potatoes were delicious with their dipping sauce. They have lots of gatherings there and DJ sets on the weekends. Lastly, a photographer would die to take pictures here. There is no bad shot as the design artist made sure every section of this cute wine bar was picture perfect. Loved all my photos and videos. I look forward to returning to this exquisite wine bar!

I love the decor of this space! It is definitely intentionally and tastefully decorated. Loved the lighting and plants. They had Lord of the Rings playing on the wall. The vibe is artsy, warm, a little dark, and overall a cool place to mingle. The bathrooms and tables were kept clean. I liked it that the DJ was live mixing. Getting a drink was fast and easy. The high top tables were a bit wobbly, so we spilled half a drink on there. The drinks are strong. I recommend going upstairs to sit instead if you want to hear your friends better. The tables are bigger up there too. The rooftop was closed off but I'd like to check it out sometime.

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.
