    Pad Ma Kuer (Sautéed Eggplant) ~ $15.95
    Jean S.

    We were looking for a place to eat on Irving Street that didn't have a wait on a Sunday afternoon and decided to eat at Marnee Thai. The staff greeted us happily and welcomed us in. We ordered the Northern Thai Tea Leaf Salad, Panang Beef, Pad Prig Khing with beef, Thai Style Fried Rice, and Chicken Pad Thai. The food was pretty good. The Thai Tea Leaf salad was more saucy than the Burmese style, but still good. I thought our waitress was going to mix the salad for us, as she started to use the forks to mix, but then she was just checking to see if the tomatoes were in there, and then walked away. The chicken pad Thai was good. Pad Prig Khing is beef and string beans sautéed with hot chili paste. You can substitute the protein option. It was really good. Panang Beef is chunks of beef cooked in a curry sauce with coconut milk and Thai basil. It was served with a side of plain broccoli. We liked the Thai Style Fried Rice because of the duck and pineapple, which we selected. The duck pieces were a little fatty, but duck is fatty in general. Overall, we had a good lunch at Marnee Thai. Just a note - the price of the Pad Prig Khing was higher on the bill than what was listed on the menu. The restaurant was a little dark a bit old, but the restaurant has been around for decades, and was just fine to dine in.

    I was looking for the Angel Wings that had stuffing inside. Their version was fried chicken wings with basil and some kind of a sauce that was tangy and slightly spicy.,The Roti was flat and crispy. It was a little greasy.,Server was really polite snd helpful. The place is kinda old. I went here a long time ago and it is still the same. The place is clean and quiet .

    I forgot the name of the noodle but it is so flavorful, really good. The papaya salad was food and the fried rice too. Really recommend the food - the flavor is immaculate! Nice staff as well. The thai tea was ok.

    Stir-Fried Stewed Pork Belly I'm pretty sure this was the name of this dish is absolutely delicious

    My son used to frequent Marnee Thai 2 on 9th Avenue with his friends over ten years ago, but he stopped going after his best friend Mikey passed away. I can only imagine how painful that must have been. Today, after some doctor's appointments, he brought me here--and instead of feeling sad, it became a lovely memory of Mikey. It was my first time dining here, and it definitely won't be my last. Everything was absolutely delicious!

    The food tasted really good, maybe even better than my usual, King of Thai Noodles. The soup has decent amount of shrimp and is medium spicy, maybe just too spicy for my stomach. Similar to their curry, certain curry only comes in medium and hot, they can't make it "mild", so be careful when ordering. I really like their shrimp rolls , petite and heavy in shrimps, fried not too deep but enough for a crisp taste. Next time, I will try their Thai fried rice and dessert Roti. The ambiance looks good but this is for my UberEats takeout so I can't comment on their service or ambiance. Thanks!

    Imperial Rolls Chicken Satay

    Marnee Thai has been around forever, and it's a staple in the neighborhood. Dinner time on the weekends usually gets busy so plan accordingly. Ambiance: Dimmed lights, moderate to loud diners but has a homey feel. Food: Been dining here for years and don't recall a dish missing the mark. Chicken satay - Generous size of chicken and grilled so perfectly-- their peanut sauce does lack a bit of depth but it does the job. Imperial rolls - Usually a favorite as it has a variety of meat and is crispy on the outside. Red curry with chicken - GENEROUS amount of chicken in here. Pretty spicy and goes very well with some rice. Flavor is soooo good. Pad kee mao - Very fragrant and delicious. Oily but that makes the dish not dry!! Fried rice with duck - Not as generous with chicken in other dishes but the duck meat to skin ratio is perfect. Not so much on the meat either. Would recommend and keep coming back!

    Tom yum with shrimp
    Stacie V.

    Love the elevated wood ceilings. The food was delicious and flavorful. Quick service with barely anyone on a Sunday night. We ordered the Tom yum soup with shrimp, pad kaprow with roasted duck, Kang Keaw with chicken. Even though they were rated "mild", my low spice tolerance could barely handle the dishes. I didn't try the curry, but my friends loved it and ordered an extra side of rice for it.

    Ordered the gai samoon prai, pad ginger chicken, eggplant beef, curry chicken, pad thai, and pad see ew. Very known restaurant older since at least 1990s. Very friendly service. Bathroom behind kitchen. Gai samoon prai- lemongrass peppercorn dish with chicken. Chef special interesting taste a little tangy and sour Ginger chicken- not bad refreshing bell pepper sauce seems to be a black pepper base lots of fresh ginger slices on top Eggplant beef - soft good flavor. Also a salt and pepper base sauce. Pad Thai- a but spicy. Shrimp jumbo shrimp crunchy and soft food fresh taste. Solid pad Thai dish 8.5/10 Pad se ew- wide flat noodle very smooth. Another pepper sauce base but lighter and not over powering. Chicken curry - light coconut curry taste a bit of a watered down flavor. Not that bad.

    I found this spot in Irving when I was staying in SF for a month while working nearby. They were generous and kind even though I was a single diner. I eventually brought my significant other here, and now it's our favorite Thai spot in the city for the atmosphere, food, and warmth of the staff. We absolutely love the angel tofu/angel chicken wings, the Thai tea, and all of the desserts! All the curries are good as well. Certainly worth trying if you're in the area, and the Golden Gate Park is nearby to walk off the calories afterwards too.

    Basa Fillet with fresh Garlic Pepper sauce
    Norma M.

    On our way to wine country, we were passing by DTSF around early dinner time, and I remembered that Marnee was one of the best thai restaurants last time I was in the SFO area about 15 years ago. While this was not the location that a friend of mine introduced us to, we were highly-satisfied with 2 of the 3 dishes that we ordered. The Spicy Angel Wings with their signature chili-garlic/tamarind sauce and the Basa Fillet with garlic pepper sauce were very good. I highly recommend those but the roti was just ok.

    Pad Kee Mao w/roasted duck - wide rice noodles, chili, garlic, tomatoes, and stringbeans

    Interestingly enough and much to my surprise, San Francisco is not really known for their Siamese/Thai food. In fact, when I go onto the Yelp app and search for an above average Thai restaurant in the city, very few places actually show up. Reason being is simply because this city is heavily saturated with some amazing Dim Sum, Japanese, Vietnamese, and dozens upon dozens of award-winning Chinese restaurants. However, paying a visit to "Marnee Thai" just might change my perspective of how amazing this place was. Located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco, this restaurant is situated directly on Irving St. and tucked in between 23rd & 24th Ave while only being a couple blocks away from Golden Gate Park. This is actually their original location as they also have a 2nd location (also in the Inner Sunset) that is on 9th Ave and close to Lincoln Way. Parking can be a challenge with the vast amount of businesses and boutiques surrounding this area. My lady and I came during the evening of Friday 11/29/2024 at around 5:25pm. The hours of operation are Wednesday through Monday from 11:30am-8:30pm while being closed on Tuesday. As soon as my lady and I walked in, it was very warm, cozy, and inviting. The interior layout showcases a distinctive A-frame roof design complete with wood paneling throughout. In fact, this place has a very strong Thailand presence to it as the artwork and walls looked as if we were dining out in Bangkok and not San Francisco. And even though we came during dinnertime on a Friday evening, there was no wait as we were seated by the hostess immediately. Since I already knew what I wanted, I settled with their "Pad Kee Mao"; this consisted of roasted duck, wide rice noodles, chili, garlic, tomatoes, and string beans. My lady went with the "Pad Se-Ew" which is one of the more popular Thai dishes; she chose chicken as her protein of choice. Her dish had a blend of pan-fried wide rice noodles, soy beans, broccoli, and scrambled eggs. And as a trademark of every Thai restaurant I visit, I went with their "Thai Iced Tea". Both of our meals arrived in around 8 minutes; very quick turnaround time. And best of all, our dishes were piping hot. I absolutely loved the seasoned, tender, and flavorful bits of my roasted duck as they were very generous with the meat portion. Since I do not like spicy, they were able to make it with a more milder chili flavor. It hit the spot in every way possible. All of the ingredient with the wide noodles had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I also tried some of her Pad Se-Ew and that too was top notch. Even my Thai iced tea had the perfect amount of tea without being overbearingly sweet. Again, the service and quality of food was excellent while not being too expensive. All in all, I loved "Marnee Thai" as this will be a future staple restaurant for my lady and I. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

    It's been a while since I came here but I used to come here all the time because this is "THE BEST THAI PLACE" in the city but I think it doesn't hold that title anymore. Just walking into the restaurant gave me a different vibe from when I used to go there all the time. The food was nothing amazing either.

    The minute I saw interior pictures on Yelp, I knew I had to come here; every restaurant with good…read moredecor takes their food more seriously, and I was not disappointed. I came on Sunday around 5:30, and was seated immediately. The steady influx/outflux of customers never made it seem too quiet, even though only half the restaurant was utilized. If you decide to come here, I recommend avoiding the Thai staples like Pad Thai and Tom Yum, and ordering at least 1 dish from the "From the Chef" section. This place feels more authentic with more unique offerings compared to your regular run of the mill Thai place (they are mostly government sponsored anyways). I ordered a Papaya salad (Som Tum Poo Pla), a Shrimp Paste Fried Rice, and Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly. For starters, the Papaya salad with a bigger price tag is not for the faint of heart. There is a load of fish sauce, and combined with anchovies, makes for an...acquired dish. I was told by my server that it's pretty authentic, but it's a little too authentic and reminds me of Natto or Beijing tofu juice. The Shrimp Paste Fried rice is a must order; the spread is very instagram worthy and gives me vague paella vibes in terms that it's shareable and good for parties 2-4. I did not see this dish at other Thai restaurants I've been to, so I'd consider pretty unique. Just be mindful that it's on the sweeter side, and the chilis on the side are very, very spicy, so allocate accordingly. The Roasted Pork with Crispy Pork Belly was by far the star of the show. The skin was super crispy, and the pork itself was super tender, melt in your mouth feeling. The flavors and seasonings were perfect, with just a hint of basil to elevate the entire taste. A true adventure for the taste buds, and a must order as a shareable. Service was super friendly, and my waiter answered all my questions with a smile, and even gave us his recommendations since we wanted to stray away from the basic thai food orders. This place is a must come to if you're looking for true authentic Thai food from a chef that has pride in his work. I can't wait to come back to try their other unique dishes!

The inside of the restaurant was quite lively, even though it was pretty early in the evening. The decorations were very colorful, and the atmosphere felt lively. Service was fine, but the food did take awhile to get to us. We ended up ordering crispy pork, duck curry, pad thai, and fried rice (sorry don't remember which fried rice in particular). I think the pad thai and fried rice were a bit light in flavor, but the curry and crispy pork were really yummy! The duck curry kinda took me by surprise because of the lychee haha I wish the portions were bigger, but great taste.

The interior is well decorated with Thai culture and with the darker tones of the design, it makes the restaurant feel quite fancy. 4.5/5 - Crispy Pork (Moo Krop) Fried Rice - Very savory fried rice dish. Spiced well and very filling. We didn't expect the pork to be cut so large and mixed into the rice, but it was very tender and easy to still eat. We would've expected the pork to be sliced maybe in half or fourths to make the dish feel like a "pork fried rice" than a fried rice + pork mix, but it still worked well and if you love pork, this will definitely be your fix! 5/5 - Pad Thai - We thought the restaurant nailed this classic noodle dish. Filling portions and did not overcook their noodles. You can taste each component of the dish, which speaks to everything not being under or overcooked.

Great little kick on the spice BUT not so spicy that it makes you regret life choices! Delicious will order again. The only thing I'd complain about is that my rice wasn't sticky. I prefer stickier rice - but this rice is perfect if you don't have a preference. I don't want fully unwashed mush but I like a little more starch. My other co-worker ordered Roasted duck over rice - he said it was tasty & would order again. We did order chicken satay and the chicken had good flavor BUT the peanut sauce was just ok. I'd order it again to see if it was just an off day for the sauce. It's a small restaurant & filled quickly at lunch. Many Asians eating there which told me it would be good. Restrooms were slippery so be careful but clean. Overall I would come again!

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.
