    Pork Belly Green Bean
    David L.

    The food tasted great, excellent spices, the meat quality was high as well. The pork belly tasted amazing and had crispy skin. The chicken appetizer was easy to eat and had a spicy + slightly sour spice. The Wagyu basil tray was good but you couldn't taste that it was Wagyu because it was ground meat. Service was good, food came out promptly and the ambiance felt casual.

    Roasted duck curry
    Eunice N.

    My friends had been hearing about this place in SF, and so when I was in town, we decided to give it a try! 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.

    Crispy pork belly sweet basil
    Meghan B.

    Spent the day in the city yesterday with my two best friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. Went to De Young for Monet and were starving after so we stumbled on this fantastic Thai restaurant! Every bite and sip was delicious. We ordered family style and shared everything. The service was also fantastic, even though we got there late and didn't realize until the food was beginning to come out that it was last call, our server and all the other workers that came by were all so friendly and made us feel welcome. We ate quickly and boxed the rest so they could get home. What we ordered: Tom Kha soup - coconutty, creamy, a lil sour and a lil spice. Delicious. Fresh rolls - crisp and springy with lots of greens and tofu and a good peanut sauce to dip. Crispy pork belly sweet basil - the CRISP and flavor of this pork belly was to die for. Chicken larb - this was my favorite dish of the night. Heavy basil/herbs, just a little kick from the chilies, full on flavor explosion. I will be thinking of this dish for a long time haha. Beef Pad See Ew - chewy in the most delicious and favor packed way. Love pad see ew and this one was great! Pad cha scallop - Came out sizzling on a cast iron! This dish was fun and the scallops while small, were fresh and had lots of flavor. And finally, for dessert we ordered the black rice durian. It was all three of us' first time trying Durian and we loved it! Creamy and a little funky but the black rice and sauce emphasized its natural sweetness. Thank you to everyone at Saap Ver for adding to my besties birthday happiness! Can't wait to come back.

    This place has the best pad Thai in all of San Francisco!!!! I always make it a priority to come here on my visits to SF. The flavors and texture of the pad Thai are PERFECTION. I want to shout-out Tae for amazing customer service. I let him know I was visiting from LA and he so kindly went out of his way to give me his fave LA Thai restaurant recommendations.

    Pumpkin Curry  (V)
    Anh T.

    Made a reservation for Saap Ver on a weekday evening with friends, and we were seated immediately. We loved the decor of the restaurant and friendliness of the staff. Pumpkin Curry Tofu: I loved the strong taste of the spicy pumpkin curry, and it was creamy and went well with a side of rice. Saap Ver Fried Rice: I liked the quality of the pork belly and the rice was well seasoned. Crispy Basil Duck: This was my personal favorite! The duck was quite crispy and paired well with basil and bell peppers.

    Green Curry with prawns
    Albert B.

    I ordered the green curry with prawns and I was pleasantly surprised. It was so delicious and tasty! I savored it by ordering steamed rice and mixing it. The food came out really fast, within 10 minutes. After sitting in the restaurant I decided to make an additional order of fried chicken and rice . The ambience is very celebratory with soft rock in the background. The fried chicken was very crisp and delicious

    Came right at 5pm with no reservation and got seated immediately. Easy parking. Fun, high-energy vibe with great music, and the service was amazing. You know it's legit when you see Thai diners there too. Ordered the SAAP wings, pad kee mao, spicy basil chicken, and larb chicken salad. Everything was flavorful, and the wings are de-boned which makes them super easy to eat. Pro tip: ask for mild unless you really love spice. Order items From the Chef off the menu it's their specials. Clean bathrooms, great experience overall. Definitely coming back, to try the items From The Chef. There are 2 picnic tables outside great for outdoor dining with your dog.

    Pad Kee Mow
    Tasha H.

    This is a really cool space with a fun ambience. The menu has a few unique things and overall I enjoyed my meal here. It seems like a lot of things are deep fried here, so while it's tasty, it may not be the most healthy. On the pricier side. Crispy rice salad - I've never had this before and I loved it! The crunchy rice and super tangy dressing was delicious with the fresh herbs. Wings - these are covered in a tangy, slightly spicy powder. Pretty good. Basil duck - good flavor, but the duck was overly salty. Pad kee mow - not impressed with this one. Tofu was still cold inside, and the flavor was just okay.

    Spicy Tom Yum Pork Noodle Soup
    Kellie C.

    We walked in on a Tuesday around 7:30 as a party of 8 and didn't have to wait at all. We ordered the crispy pork belly, green curry with pork, pad see ew, and pineapple fried rice! All were good but I would say the pork belly and green curry stood out to me the most. Rice is not included and costs $4 per bowl. Luckily they are large bowls so you can split them amongst 2 people. It's pretty loud and dark in there at night. They have strobe lights and sports games on. It's a fun environment.

    The service here was okay. They seemed super busy for a monday and it took a while for the food to come out which they warned us. I had asked for less ice on my iced tea but the server didn't accommodate even though she said she would. I'm not sure how clean they are but they could do a better job keeping their bathrooms clean. Probably won't visit again because it was pricey but had a good time overall.

    Delicious Thai spot with a good atmosphere!! I came on a weeknight and was seated immediately (plenty of seating space inside). Cute decor and had sports games playing! We ordered: - pad see ew (DELICIOUS 10/10 recommend) - crispy chicken fried rice (also amazing, the crispy chicken was a perfect add an really elevated the fried rice) Overall food was spot on, exactly what I wanted and very authentic tasting. Would recommend and will be back!

    Chicken Ginger Rice
    Tiffany L.

    I had such a great lunch here and am glad I got to try several non-typical Thai dishes! It's huge inside and there are at least two bathrooms that I saw. We were seated immediately since it was pretty empty (had lunch at noon on a Thursday). The server was attentive. For a table of four, we ordered: Larb Fish (5/5) This was SO GOOD!!! Not spicy and the crispy fish was so good. No bones either. This is definitely a pretty big portion so it is better to get it for at least 3-4 people. Chicken Ginger Rice (4/5) This really reminds me of Hainanese Chicken. I really liked the broth that came with it but wasn't a big fan of the sauce. Pad Thai (5/5) Some of the best Pad Thai I have had! I liked that it was on the sweeter side. Saap Ver Fried Rice (5/5) This was also delicious but spicy even though we asked for mild. It was a good level of heat though!

    tom yum
    Michelle S.

    Came on a Friday night at 6PM - prime time but it was not busy at all. Plenty of tables open. We called beforehand and made a reservation but they claimed they didn't have any for us... luckily it didn't matter. The interior is very cute and lively. The service was not that great. It felt like the person to seated us and took our order didn't want to be there. We ordered 3 items - pork shoulder salad, pad thai, and tom yum noodle soup. We also got the thai tea and the lime thai tea. The pork shoulder was fine, just nothing too special. The pad Thai was so good though and the tom yum noodle soup was spicy and super sour. Two great items I'd recommend! The thai tea was good but we didn't really care for the lime Thai tea. Came for my birthday but didn't get any complimentary items like other reviews said. Overall, will definitely come back.

We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and waited roughly another 30 minutes before we could order at the kiosk and get seated. The restaurant is very small with only about a dozen seats. You wait until a seat opens up before ordering, so depending on availability, you may end up sitting alongside other parties. The whole setup and atmosphere reminded me so much of the small soba restaurants I visited in Japan and added to how authentic the experience felt. I ordered the Tenzaru Soba with Omakase Tempura and was genuinely impressed. The soba portion was incredibly generous, and I left very full. The noodles were some of the most authentic soba I've had in California, and I ate every last bit. Everything felt simple, carefully made, and satisfying. Parking is street parking only, but we were able to find a spot nearby and walk over. I would absolutely come back to Sobakatsu, just with the expectation that there may be a wait.

Literally a half a block from our hotel, Yelp showed us a 4.6 rated restaurant. Read some reviews and we were sold. We were both hungry (with my foodie son) and sat down for an early dinner. Saki was the first order of business, with an excellent recommendation from our service (sweetest person ever) Dry and not too sweet. So early we jumped right into the happy hour appetizers. The Brussels were dreamy, the chicken was pure perfection and the gyoza spectacular. Also dove into the octopus balls (not literally )and they were ridiculous. We also ordered the Niki Ramen that had us in "we can't stop eating, mode. The broth was incredible and the shaved pork just over the top! A free drink suddenly appeared at the table and we were eternally thankful. Finished with the custard and we both wept! Yes, THAT good! The service was impeccable, friendly, funny, attentive, sweet, etc. 5/5 service, just like the food. SO cute on the inside with only around 8 tables. We got there really early, like 5pm, but by 6 it was a packed house, and mostly locals. A bigs hats off and thumbs up to this little hole in the wall. Keep it Rockin!!!!!

    We were exploring town late at night and found this place on Yelp. Unfortunately, it shocked us in…read moreall the wrong ways. I'm still a little speechless 48 hours later. Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
