I come here for their lunch specials ($17.95). I get their J. BBQ Chicken which I think is their most worth item (it's so thiccc and tender) and either E. Red Curry or F. Green Curry. Came here to celebrate my Cousin's Bday, so we also ordered a shrimp pad Thai. Good Food & Good Vibes Always a very welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do get pretty packed at noons so I recommend coming a little bit earlier to beat the rush.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check em out, byeee. read more

I often come here for lunch when I'm near City Hall, and the young woman with the ponytail is always cheerful, kind, and attentive, even during busy hours. I'm sure anyone who has been here and been served by her would appreciate her as much as I do. On my last visit, the restaurant was packed with only three employees working. They were clearly doing their best, so hearing the service bell being rung loudly and repeatedly while they were already overwhelmed was uncomfortable to watch. The food was also noticeably saltier than usual this time. Overall, not my best experience, but I really appreciated how kind and professional the staff remained throughout the rush. read more

Thought about trying this place for a long time and glad I was finally able to stop by before a performance at SF Symphony. Ordered the papaya salad and thai herb sausage for appetizers. I ordered the dry tom yum noodle while my friend ordered the lobster pad thai (their anniversary special). Service was quick and they were responsive of any needs even though we arrived during the dinner rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's outdoor seating if the inside tables are full. Thankfully that day it seems there was enough seating inside that no one had to sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The papaya salad was refreshing and a good shareable portion. The thai herb sausage had a lot of components on the plate so each bite had a different flavor. The entrees were good but could have been better. The dry tom yum noodle flavors were fine but the noodles could have been looser. It was clumped together by the time it got to my table so it was hard to mix the ingredients together without breaking the noodles. I didn't try my friend's lobster pad thai but the noodles seemed particularly soggy and the pad thai noodles seemed overly broken(?). Would be interested in going again and trying something else as their flavors were on point but the noodles were not. read more

Lers Ros has become a comfort restaurant for me now. I come here a lot after playing tennis, and the food is always reliable solid. My favorite dishes: * Thai curry puff -- new favorite appetizer, like a small flaky empanada filled with Thai curry. Great flavor * Cashew chicken stir fry -- using nuts in a stir fry is always a great idea, and their sauce is gingery and yummy. * Pad Thai -- reliably good with substantial portion size * Pad Kee Mao -- not overly spicy, great bouncy noodles and bold sauce The quality of ingredients is probably not the best (occasionally the chicken is too... chicken-y) but I usually come here for the volume and flavor, not the pristineness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The waiters are friendly and the ambiance is casual but not dingy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll be back soon! read more

I was really looking forward to dining here again but was a bit disappointed this time with the BBQ chicken I received with my combo lunch order. My usual order is the BBQ chicken with one other dish (two items from lunch combo menu for $17.95), so this time it was the BBQ chicken with the basil chicken. As usual, the combo lunch came with a small salad and rice. There were three of us and we all ordered the brown rice (which is really a combination of brown and red rice). One order came with white rice, but that was immediately remedied when it was called to their attention. My two dining companions received their meals *way* before mine came, which was a bit awkward because they didn't want to start before me even though I encouraged them to eat before it got cold. As usual, the food was great and I would've given them my usual 5 stars, except for the fact that one of the pieces of BBQ chicken (two pieces is the norm for the combo lunch) was the bony back with no meat on it. I picked around the bone, but probably couldn't even get half an ounce of meat from it and the little "Pope's nose" was sticking up in defiance! I just feel this piece should never have been served. The basil chicken, though, was as tasty as ever and the waitstaff was efficient and attentive enough to warrant 4 stars. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]came on a wednesday around 11am, very empty and lots of seating (both inside and outside)! the exterior is cute and i like how roomy the space is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]tables are wide but might get cramped if you order family style.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] service was quick and workers were welcoming. yellow curry rice plate special (6/10): came with a side salad and choice of white/brown rice. side salad was a bit soggy, but misted with some sweetness and had a peanut(?) dressing. overall the salad is too sweet/soft alone. curry was on the sweeter side and had a kick of spice. with my nonexistent spice tolerance it was manageable. the chicken and veggies were tender. for $16, i had a large amount of leftovers and was satisfied with the portions! shrimp pad see-ew (4/10): i got this to-go and ate it around 2hrs after. broccoli is bitter and a lot of the egg was browned, borderline burnt for my liking. only got 3 pieces of shrimp which was disappointing for an extra +$3. felt this wasn't as cost-effective as a rice plate. would return here and try their other menu items, especially the pad thai and their soups. bonus points to them because i love a lunch special read more

I know they have pineapple in the kitchen because pineapple is listed as a component of several dishes. I ask if they can add pineapple to my dish and I will pay extra. I'm told no. Thinking she must have misheard me, I repeated myself while emphasizing that I'd pay extra. Again, I'm told no. I then ask if I can pay for a side of pineapple. I'm told no. They will never get my business again. read more

Saturday night dinner before the ballet did not go off as planned. Firstly, let's start with the appetizers. For our appetizers we had garlic spareribs (quite yummy) and garlic frog legs. The frog legs had great flavor but too dry and stringy. Dinner was a disaster. My daughter had crab pad thai and my granddaughter had chicken pad thai. For both dishes the noodles were undercooked and chewy. The crab pad thai had both me and my daughter sick for 2 days. My son in law had beef pad kee mow which was excellent. That dish was cooked to perfection. I had boar classic chili paste. Great flavor but the boar was so sinewy you couldn't chew it. The rice was normal. My granddaughter ordered the fried bananas dessert and she raved about it. The service was exceptional and the plating was superior. Too bad the majority of food was inedible. But it sure looked pretty. They did remake both pad Thai dishes to go but we were afraid to try them. read more

2nd. Loved it again. 3.5 stars? This is definitely 5 stars. Had a few more vegetarian dishes. Cat make a wrong choice.

Made a reservation for 3 for 6:45 PM on a Sunday evening but honestly did not need it, there were plenty of tables available both inside and outside. It's a nice restaurant with white tablecloths and kind servers, and the menu is rather extensive. The waitstaff were very attentive and refilled our waters often. I got the Pad See Ew with Chicken. It was good! The noodles were well-sauced and chewy, and the chicken was in bigger pieces which I liked. Pretty good Thai spot! Next time I would want to try one of their curries. read more

Lers Ros Thai is a great option for a weekday work lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is pretty big but can still get busy during lunch time hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their menu is massive, so many dishes to choose from. Since I am a creature of habit, the couple of times I've dined here, I ordered the combo lunch special with basil ground chicken, eggplant tofu and brown rice. The size is the perfect lunch portion. Service is quick and water glasses are always filled. One day if I stay in this area late enough, I will try Lers Ros for dinner and sample some of the many unique dishes (venison and alligator) they have on the menu. read more

My boyfriend and I had been craving Thai food, so we decided to check this place out based on my friend's recommendation. We made a 7PM reservation on a Friday, and the staff was able to seat us right upon our arrival. They were friendly and attentive. Our table was right next by the window facing the street. To be honest, the space was very tight and we felt pretty crammed. The tables next to and behind us were positioned quite close. Here is our order: Crab Roll Cake: Crispy and served hot. Great appetizer. Beef Pat Kee Mow (spicy pan-fried flat noodle with basil, bell peppers, bean sprout, yellow onion): I tried this dish for the first time! Very flavorful and delicious. The spice-level was tolerable for me. Green Curry with Rice: It was spicy and definitely past my spice tolerance level (I have a low spice tolerance). Despite that, I kept going back for more because it was good. Overall, I was not the biggest fan of the ambiance but the food was great! I would come back to try more dishes. read more

Stopped by Lers Ros Thai for a weekday lunch and it was a good experience. I opted to order from the list of lunch specials and chose the Cashew Nut Chicken and a Vegetarian red curry with tofu along with white rice. The red curry had a slight kick to it, but seemed a bit watery. I thought the cashew nut chicken was better than expected, as the chicken was seasoned and not bland like I anticipated. The lunch specials include a small salad as well. I was surprised by the portion size for the lunch entree and enjoyed both the red curry and cashew nut chicken. Both dishes were flavorful and I was happy with the portion sizes and had a good amount of leftovers to take home. Also, ordered a Thai iced tea, which was tasty but had a little too much ice. I think next time I'll try to ask for less ice, but it was a refreshing beverage and paired well with my lunch entree. Customer service was friendly and attentive, and I did not feel rushed during the meal. I'd likely return if I'm in the mood for thai food. The menu had a wide variety of options and the pricing seemed fair considering the general neighborhood and nearby restaurants. Worth trying if you're close by or visiting the area! read more

It's my first time eating at this place. Went here to grab a lunch with my coworkers after a work meeting. I didn't edit the photos I uploaded here as I wanted for customers and future customers to see the actual food they'll get when their orders arrive. I must say that this place is probably one of the best thai place I've ever had. As for someone who used to be a line cook in a thai restaurant, I am giving this restaurant a 5star. The service was great! The ambiance was nice too and the place was clean. Their food, all the food we ordered were all excellent! It's a little pricey tho, but it's worth it and a must try! Will definitely come back here! read more

Decent Thai restaurant near Civic Center - we visited earlier this week before catching Hamilton at the Orpheum Theater a few blocks away. We had a 6 pm reservation and were seated right away at a window table. We ordered drinks and appetizers - chicken satay, Thai curry puff and Thai herb sausage. Our entrées were pad see ewe, chicken spinach in peanut sauce, and seafood poh-tak soup. Food arrived quickly and was served with a smile. I enjoyed the chicken satay the most, followed by the chicken spinach in peanut sauce over white rice. The sausage was good too but a bit too spicy. Our teen loved the curry puff, our tween enjoyed the seafood soup, and the missus liked the pad see ewe, so there was something for everyone. Total bill was a bit over $150 (after tax and tip). Bathrooms were clean. Would not mind coming back. read more

Appetizers were phenomenal (fried roll was delicious!!). I got the Kuay Jub (square rice noodle soup) after recommendation from my Thai friend. I thought the crispy pork belly was fantastic--super tender and crispy skin was delicious. The pork entrails were not particularly appetizing though, as it was chewy and lacked a bit of flavor. I was disappointed by the noodles too--it was a large clump and I felt the noodles were not cooked enough, and the overall bowl of soup wasn't hot enough We were a large (and rowdy) party of 12 people, and the staff were super accommodating, even letting us keep the cake in their fridge while we ate our meals read more

I came here on a Friday night and only waited a minute or two for a table. Yay! I was in the corner of the restaurant though so I think they forgot about us for a bit as we had to wait a bit to order / flag down a waiter. I got the duck noodle soup and crab meat fried rice. I really enjoyed the crab meat fried rice. It wasn't too salty but still flavorful. The ratio of rice to egg to crab meat as really good. The cucumbers were a refreshing touch. I wasn't as big of a fan of the duck noodle soup but the duck meat was tender and noodles were good texture. It was still good, I just enjoyed the crab meat fried rice more. I would come back to try more dishes as their menu is quite expansive. read more

We recently dined at Lers Ros Thai in San Francisco, and I can confidently say it lives up to its reputation. I've visited both the Larkin and Hayes Valley locations, and each time I've been impressed with the bold flavors, authentic presentation, and extensive menu offerings--far beyond your average Thai restaurant. One thing that stands out is their dedication to real Thai cooking. The spice levels are no joke--if you ask for spicy, be prepared! I ordered the crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli and the green curry with duck, and both dishes were incredibly flavorful, with rich, layered sauces that hit all the right notes. The meat was tender, and the vegetables were crisp and ffresh.we also got the pork shoulder, frog legs, and multiple noodle dishes, thier fried rice is out of this world. Service is typically fast and efficient, though during busy hours it can feel a little rushed. Still, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're quick to offer recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance isn't fancy, but it feels casual and welcoming, perfect for a date night or a quick dinner with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Hayes Valley location has more of a cozy vibe, while Larkin feels more energetic and bustling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I also appreciate the more adventurous options on the menu like frog legs or venison, which make the experience more exciting for those who like to try something new. Overall, Lers Ros is a standout in the San Francisco food scene. Whether you're a Thai food enthusiast or just looking for a satisfying meal, this place deserves a spot on your list. read more

On Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, we had a dinner reservation for 5:30 but received exceptionally rude service and attitude from a tall, short-haired, ill-tempered Asian waitress who informed us, "If you want it cooked that way, you should've stayed home and cooked it yourself." Enough said. read more

I've been here twice now and the first time was great. The service both times was also great. This review is for my second visit and for the food I ordered. I got the shrimp pad thai. The shrimp was fine. Kind of plain tasting but, ok. The pad thai however, was more like pad thai soup that was really tangy. The texture of it all turned me off and I could barely eat any of it. It really was like eating spaghetti with a thick sauce. My friend got the green curry and his looked really tasty. Now I know they are not good at pad thai. I will still come back and try another dish. read more

We stopped in for dinner before the Opera House. We ordered their Tom Yum soup, fried rice, and Thai basil. Everything was okay, but I didn't particularly find any of the dishes tasty or memorable.

Our group of 5 was seated promptly on a Saturday afternoon, with our friend being a "special guest," since he was visiting out-of-state. In this pretty cozy atmosphere, I was impressed with how our food was brought out quickly. This was our order: -Chicken Satay: The peanut sauce really completed this dish. -Pad See Ew (with Pork): I usually have an issue with the dish being oily, but this was made very well. -Five Spices Duck: From the recommendation of a friend, this ended up being one of our most favorite dishes! -Pineapple Fried Rice (with Beef): This was personally my favorite. The rice seasoning worked well with the typical ingredients of this dish. These four dishes were more than enough for our group of 5, and we left the place feeling satisfied with no need for any dessert. I would recommend this restaurant for locals and city visitors alike. read more

Not safe for people with gluten allergies. I asked prior to ordering what could be made gluten free and the waitress showed me on the page that I was looking at which dishes qualified. When our group got around to ordering, I verified the dish I was ordering would be gf. I was assured it would be. When the dish came out I saw what looked to be soy sauce and I again asked (probably was driving them crazy at this point). I was told not to worry, that they used tamari sauce. Welp, ended up getting glutenized and it ruined my next two days. We shall be looking for alternate places to eat pre-opera/symphony from now on. read more
