    Salmon Curry Bowl
    Cathy T.

    I accidentally ordered something that contained dairy assuming that the dish didn't have dairy! The server was very kind in helping me find something that was safe for me. I totally blanked on letting them know my food allergies. The tom yum noodle soup contains half & half (as an FYI for those with dairy allergies or intolerance). The Salmon Curry Bowl is dairy free! The curry uses a coconut milk in the base. It comes with grilled salmon, tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeños, basil, kale, bok choy in a red curry sauce. It also comes with a side of rice. The flavors were well balanced and the salmon was cooked perfectly.

    Had such a wonderful experience at Mr. Far East! The Pad See Ew was absolutely delicious, perfectly flavorful, satisfying, and one of the highlights of the meal. The service was also exceptional, the server was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming with a big smile on her face that was so nice. And definitely save room for dessert! The fried banana with ice cream was the perfect sweet ending. It was crispy, warm, and delicious with the cold, creamy ice cream. Wonderful food, amazing service, and a great overall lively time inside. The one odd thing was having to get my own napkin and utensils but besides that it was great. I'll definitely be back!

    Very interesting fusion thai and American brunch, I got that tom Yung omelette, and it was good, and very big portion. Service was a little slow, but we did go during lunch rush, and it seemed that more people order togo than they do eat in, but me and a coworker ate in and a few people I saw finished eating-in as well. The service once she came to serve us was very nice. Ambiance is big open window glass table seating. It was on a friends recommendation so I'm glad I was able to check it out

    The food is really great here! A great option for Asian fusion in SF. I got the Tom Yum Omelette which was amazing. They did a really got job with the dish, it came with shrimp, bell peppers, crispy potatoes and bread which blended very well together and had a great Tom Yum flavor. Got the fruit on the side too which came with some fresh bananas, strawberries, orange, and blueberries. They are definitely generous with their portions which is great because the food is really good! On the downside, this place was absolutely packed for a Sunday brunch. We wanted to dine in but there was a bit of a wait and we had a flight to catch. Ended up doing to go and waited about 30 minutes for our food, I think we would've waited even longer if we weren't insistent on getting our order. It was extremely busy so there's not much that they can do about it though. I'd recommend making a reservation if you want to dine in here or maybe ordering by phone. I do think the food is worth it though!

    If you're looking for an Asian fusion brunch place in SF, you have to check this place out! We came on a Friday afternoon and it was moderately busy, service was great and servers were attentive. Food we ordered: - Tom yum omelette w/ shrimp - Thai tea French toast - Drunken noodles w/ chicken -- the noodles they used are not the typical noodles I'm used to but it was filled with flavor with a kick of spice. - Tom yum noodle soup w/ crispy chicken -- my favorite dish!! The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!

    I tried 4 different dishes and 4 different drink items. We ordered the Hai Nan Chicken, Shrimp Benedict, Pad Thai with shrimp, and Saigon steak. For drinks we got a hot and cold matcha latte, cappuccino, and a Jasmine milk tea. My favorite had to be the Saigon steak, the steak was so juicy and tender! Love the sunny side up egg on top, we dipped the steak in the yolk I loved the matcha latte, we got it with 0% sweetness and it was perfect for us. Helped wash down all the delicious food! Buisness was also popping on Sunday! We kept seeing people line up and wait for a table. Despite how busy it was, our food and drinks came out pretty quick. Everyone was very helpful when I was ordering l

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Chastity V.

    Great Asian fusion brunch menu and I especially loved the signature drinks here! I love when you can make reservations for a popular brunch place instead of being forced to walk-in and wait. I made a reservation via Yelp for 3 people on a Saturday at 11:15am. My table was ready on time and they seated me even though our full party was running late. I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside. The dining room is long and narrow but has a decent amount of seating. Service was good, and friendly.

    Chicken and pandan waffle
    Phoebe W.

    We came around 10:30am and it was already quite busy. Nonetheless, we got seated immediately and the staff was super nice! We got the thai tea french toast, pad thai, saigon steak, and chicken & pandan waffle. All were great choices but my favorite is definitely chicken & pandan waffle. I thought it was cooked perfectly. As for drinks, we got the strawberry matcha, strawberry fizz, iced butterfly lychee fizz, and thai tea. Personally, I enjoyed the matcha the most but all of them were quite aesthetic. I also like how this place also gives non fusion options like pad thai and pad see ew if your looking for more traditional foods!!

    Banana French Toast Combo, Drunken Noodle, Shaking Beef, Salmon Curry Bowl
    Connie W.

    A delicious brunch spot in SF! It can get very very busy on weekends so definitely recommend making a reservation. Even after ordering it can take a while to get your food so be wary of that! The food and drinks are amazing though. Our favorite was the drunken noodle which is more of a chow mein and has a spicy kick to it. The shaking beef was also good but was unexpectedly sweet. Salmon curry bowl was very coconuty and tender and the banana French toast had the best caramelized bananas! I loved the lychee fizz drink as well, it was so refreshing. The interior is cute but a bit crowded especially when it's busy. Overall delicious food but expect a wait!

    Salmon Curry ($20.95)

    We got delivery from here. The salmon curry ($20.95) was so so so good! I especially loved the coconut rice. I can't speak for the service or ambience (looks cute from the photos) but the packaging was very thoughtful.

    Pink Dalgona Coffee & Lychee Jasmine Tea
    Toby M.

    A great brunch spot that takes reservations (there were even reservations still available the morning of a holiday weekend)! Drinks - more options than the food, which is really saying something. We got the pink dalgona coffee and a lychee jasmine tea. Both weren't just good but also came with fresh fruit on top. For food we got the chicken & pandan waffle combo that came with two eggs and sriracha bacon. The waffle was perfection, crispy and light while still very flavorful. The chicken had a nice thin crisp on the outside but was a little dry and flavorless on the inside. The bacon actually tasted better with the waffle than the chicken did. That was really the only flaw for this place (4/5 stars). We also got the steak benedict that comes with a curry hollandaise. This was really unique and we'd absolutely get it again. The potatoes on the side were also crispy and they give a lot of fresh fruit too!

    Tom Yum Omelet fried rice
    Oliver C.

    We had a reservation for a group of 5 for brunch. We arrived on time and there was a huge line outside. We waited about 10 min to get seated. Once we got seated at a 4 person corner table (and had to squeeze in to fit everyone in our party) they took our order. Drinks didn't come out till about 30 min later. Food took over 1 hour and 15 min to arrive and it's was okay at best. I ordered the tom yum omelette with bacon and friend rice. He omelette was stuffed with onions ( I literally got a half cooked white onion inside, bell peppers( a few mushrooms and basil and 4 overcooked pieces of shrimp doused in tom yum paste. The salad had no dressing and the rice was very dry. Overall not worth 75 min wait for this food. Go somewhere else

    Saigon Steak
    Shannie L.

    The Saigon steak was really good. Steak was juicy. The wait time to get in was short, but the service inside was long. It took a while to get our orders placed and to receive it--giving a benefit of the doubt though bc I visited on a holiday, but it wasn't super packed inside.

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 space itself is clean and simply decorated - nothing flashy, but comfortable. Service was friendly and attentive throughout. I started with the mushroom hor mok, then had the pad kee mao at medium spicy for my entree. Everything was delicious - plenty of umami depth and a solid, well-judged level of heat. On the drink side, the Tom Yum 2.0 cocktail was spectacular, with really excellent balance and a nice tart edge. I also tried the Koh Kood, which was good but didn't have quite the same wow factor as the Tom Yum 2.0. On value: it's expensive for Thai food, but everything in the city runs higher, so in that context I'd call it a good value. That said, if you've got a go-to local Thai spot you already love, the price point here might be a tougher sell by comparison. I was flying solo this visit, but this feels like a spot best enjoyed with a group, ordering family style so you can work through more of the menu. Overall, a great experience and one I'd recommend for a group outing where everyone's comfortable sharing dishes.

    Found this spot on TikTok and it looked Instagram worthy, so my cousin and I headed over on…read moreSaturday for a late lunch [def have to go back for brunch]. We decided to share a mimosa flight, spring rolls, and ahi scoops. Even though it wasn't brunch, they still allowed us to order a brunch flight, and they were so polite and helpful throughout 4.8/5. The inside is tiny, but quite stunning, clean, and gives a lot of opportunities for insta-worthy pics 4.9/5, I only wish there had been an actual photo wall. Now to the food. The crispy spring rolls were cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. The clear noodles and veggies were so yummy. I asked for soy sauce because that's what I prefer over sweet sauce, but honestly they needed nothing 4.8/5. The ahi scoops had the best seaweed salad on it that I have EVER had, the wasabi cream on top was the show stopper, and I don't even like wasabi 5/5. We shared the flight and was more than tipsy from two drinks each, flavors on point champagne delicious 5/5. Overall

    Had Blackwood on my list for a while as I was looking for nee brunch places to try. The premise of…read morea thai fusion brunch intrigued me and I was hoping it was would surpass my expectations and previous experience with Peacock Pansy (similar brunch spot). The reservation system was a bit odd with no designated time slots, but rather you put in a time yourself online. The system turned out to not work very well as I originally booked a spot for 2 at 11am and then had to call to move it to 11:40am (weird time). Turns out when we got there, my name or a close spelling of it was on the list for 12:40pm. This wasn't a big deal to me since it's easy to mishear on the phone so we moved on from that. The restaurant was decently booked and we sat inside. Now for what my partner and I ordered! Unfortunately nothing called to me strongly so I went with the very basic choice of 2 eggs plate with ciabatta toast and rainbow potatoes. I added in chicken sausage for $3. 5/10: The toast was unbuttered and honestly tasted stale. The potatoes were nice and crispy, but unsalted and quite plain. The eggs were nice, I got mine scrambled. Sausages were okay, I think I actually ended up with the pork sausages rather than chicken. My plate was $26 and I can confidently say it is not worth close to that unfortunately. Brussel Florentine Benedict 6/10: My partner was intrigued by the ton yum hollandaise sauce. There was a hint of it which was nice. Benedicts were okay, nothing special. Coconut oat matcha 8/10: On the sweeter side, but enjoyable! I liked the toasted coconut pieces on top and thought it was a nice drink. Premium matcha wise, I don't agree necessarily, but hey it was an enjoyable drink. Drip coffee 0/10: My partner loves a drip coffee and not in a snobby way. From diner coffee to honestly plain old regular slightly brunt coffee, thats her jam. This coffee was just burnt. Not sure what happened but it was $5 for a completely bitter cup of burnt coffee. Not great. Fun side note: As we were ordering the table next to us called attention to their dish as their waffle was completely undercooked and tasted bitter. The wait staff was apologetic about it, but seemed to either not understand or insist it was "too sweet" not undercooked or bitter. The table was very polite about it so honestly it was not the best look for the restaurant. It was simply feedback and I don't believe it was taken very well. Regardless, just a fun note to throw in! We will not be back unfortunately. There are many lovely brunch spots and restaurants around the city and sadly I don't think this one is worth a try just because of the cost for the quality, but I always tell myself its always worth to try in case you do think differently!

    Cozy ambience that's great for meetups and long hangouts to chat and catch up. The staff was very…read morekind and the service was decently fast. 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. We ordered nuts on the side but you would be quite satisfied ordering this if you like pad thai! 4.5/5 - Pad Gra Prow - Appropriate veggie to beef proportion and very flavorful. Minced well and great to complement with your carb dishes (noodle or rice). We thought the dish was slightly oily but it feels well absorbed when eaten with our pad thai. If you have tried the dish before and would like it, this will be satisfactory!

    I'm giving this place a solid 3.5 Stars so I rounded up to 4…read more I would have rated it higher but they brought my entree out 10 minutes before the rest of the food including our appetizer! So that sucked. 1st let's admire my Thai Ice Tea. This was so adorable & I felt bad drowning him in my tea ha 2nd - my co-worker said this was the 2nd best Pad Thai he's ever had. They grill the tofu so it's got some crunch to it. Which totally elevates the Pad Thai. My Panang Curry with duck was excellent! Decent amount of duck just a few bones. 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!
