    Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. This spot just opened and I'm pretty sure I sprinted here like I was training for the Olympics. Had to even add the Yelp page myself because there was NO way I was gatekeeping this. From the second you walk in, it hits you. The decor is loud in the best way possible. Colors, details, little touches everywhere. It's the kind of place where you're still noticing new things halfway through your meal. But let's be real... you're not here just to look around. The food? Yeah... this the one. Every bite took me straight back to Thailand without the 16 hour flight, jet lag, or arguing with airline seat recline etiquette. The flavors are bold, unapologetic, and actually taste authentic not watered down "tourist Thai." You can tell whoever is behind the kitchen knows exactly what they're doing and isn't cutting corners. This isn't just good food. This is the kind of place that makes you pause mid bite, look at the person you came with, and go "nah this is crazy." If you're even thinking about trying it, stop thinking. Just go.

    Amazing food and beautiful presentation. The Miang Kum was my favorite such a unique combination of flavors. The beef in the Massaman curry was incredibly tender, and the duck salad was fresh and full of flavor. Everything tasted authentic and well-balanced. The mango sticky rice was the perfect ending (;

    I had high hopes for Song Wat, but it seems like a flip of Mangrove with the same issues (refreshed interior design though). Small portions, a bit bland, and just not great overall.

    new thai restaurant on divis and page! the vibes are pretty cool, a mesh between traditional street food and modern bar. the menu isn't huge but has some unique/ more local items. we tried the kua mee kati and pad see ew, both were too sweet for our liking but the portions were generous

    I was worried when Mangrove Thai closed up its store front. Now, I'm relieved to know this is what replaced it... If you're a lover of Pad Thai and Pad See Ewe, this place offers some of the best. The prawns are massive, the noodles are delicious. The appetizers I've tried are outstanding and the portions are wonderfully generous. Their menu is delightfully simple and the decor is covered with charming vintage poster art. They typically jam 70s, 80s Thai pop music, sometimes surfy, other times psychedelic. It's a vibe, and the seats are comfy. To be fair and more critical - I've ordered their pork belly and been very disappointed. It was overcooked and gristly. But I can't count it against them yet - I can tell they're working some new-business kinks out, and the good I've had here far outweighs that one experience. This establishment joins the higher ranks of the up and coming post-Covid Divisadero offerings. Even with Katsuo & Kombu, Nepa, GiGis, and Pho Divis gracing the neighborhood, Song Wat should not be slept on.

    Foods was amazing! Authentic. Only downside that night was a service. It seems they were short of staff.

    We also ordered the sator goong, a shrimp and bean dish that was delicious and tasted just like street food in Thailand.

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Veg Spring Rolls, House Favorite Yellow Curry, Eggplant Basil, Pad Kee Mao, and White Rice. The Papaya Salad was a bit disappointing. It was overly sour and tasted more citrusy than fresh and lime-forward. The Veg Spring Rolls were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The biggest letdown was the Yellow Curry. It lacked the rich flavor I typically expect from a Thai curry, and some of the vegetables seemed undercooked. The Eggplant Basil was also underwhelming. It lacked the distinct basil flavor that the dish is known for. Since we ordered the vegetarian version, it came loaded with a mix of other vegetables, which made it feel more like a generic vegetable stir-fry than an eggplant basil dish. The Pad Kee Mao was the standout of the meal. It had good flavor and was enjoyable, although the portion size felt a bit small for the price. Overall, the food was ok, but nothing really stood out. I've had better Thai food elsewhere, both in terms of flavor and value. While the experience wasn't bad, it wasn't memorable enough to make me want to return. For the price point, I expected more authentic flavors and better execution.

I got crispy calamari which was perfectly crunchy and delicious. I love the inner texture that blended so well with the crispy texture. For my main dish, I got Pad See You Chicken. It was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly soft. It was savory and slightly sweet. I asked for chili oil because I love spice, and wow, that was GOOD. If you're going to do that, do add a small bit of oil, it's really spicy. The chicken was tender which was such a good blend. Their Thai Iced Tea is so good and creamy. They serve it in a huge ice ball! It was pretty cool and unique. The person who served us was very kind and welcoming. I loved his energy, I wish I got his name. He checked in on us a few times, even though the place was busy which is such a win. I highly recommend this place.

I only knocked the restaurant down by a star because the servers were pretty pushy with wanting us to leave despite the multitude of empty tables around us. Besides that, the food is really delicious. The papaya salad is amazing if you like spice! There was a great kick and acidity to the papaya salad distributed throughout the fresh vegetables in the dish. I highly recommend! The pumpkin fries were also a great choice: crispy fry with soft pumpkin inside, maintaining the overall pumpkin flavor profile. The sauce they provide on the side (sweet and sour plum sauce), cut through the fry but didn't overwhelm the pumpkin itself. For myself, I got the yellow curry with chicken. The curry dishes do not come with rice, so you will have to order that on the side. The curry is not only a generous portion, but FULL of ingredients. They do not skimp on the meat, potatoes, etc. Highly recommend trying Farmhouse Kitchen for some flavorful Thai dishes!

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.

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.

Fried rice: 6/10 This was the only dish I was disappointed in. It was sort of bland, and contained very little spice despite being labeled as spicy. Eggplant stir fry: 8/10 The eggplant and sauce was good. The eggplant soaked up all of the good richness, but the tofu was very hard in the outside. A little difficult to bite into. Pad Thai: 9/10 I really enjoyed this one. The noodles were chewy and the flavor was on point. Good with chicken. Samosas: 8.5/10 Solid. Good flavor but a little overpriced ($11.5 for 3 samosas) Khao soi: 10/10 By far the most impressive dish. I've never experienced a flavor quite like this. Lots of spices but also very rich with noodles and lots of veggies. Pork belly: 9.5/10 Very crispy pork belly. Some of the best pork belly I have ever had. Fatty pork belly goes very well with the lighter vegetables. The service was very good. The workers were very nice. The inside was cool with a modern design. The only thing that was bad (and part of the reason I gave 4 stars and not 5) is the bathroom. Very dark and smelled funny.

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!
