    Pad See Ew w/ chicken ($17.95) + Thai iced tea ($5)
    Belinda W.

    Ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken ($17.95). It was a solid lunch portion with a good amount of chicken. However, it was not as savory and sweet as expected. The added bok choy threw me off a little but it was still crunchy and made a decent filler. I appreciated the Thai Iced Tea ($5) was packaged neatly inside a to-go box for safe delivery and was not watered down. Also, this drink has the option to be made vegan which sold me without hesitation. Overall, I would order again for a reasonable and quick meal.

    Great pad see ew! It was packed with noodles and broccoli and other veggies. I wish it had more chicken, but overall the flavor was great and portion was decently large. Very solid lunch option. Would definitely order again!

    Red Pumpkin Curry with coconut rice
    Joey W.

    Red Pumpkin Curry with coconut rice - coconut was fragrant and fluffy with a subtle coconut flavor. The red pumpkin curry had bell peppers, carrots, pumpkin, and basil. I opted for tofu for my protein. The curry was creamy and had a nice kick to it. I wish there was more pumpkin (only two pieces of pumpkin) since it was a pumpkin curry.

    fried rice
    Ananya M.

    was not a fan of the fried rice or the thai tea lol. the fried rice was pretty bland and the tofu lacked flavor (also there were like 5 pieces of tofu). and the thai tea was too sweet.

    Isaan papaya salad with salted eggs
    Rudy H.

    I ordered through Uber Eats, So this is going to be short and right to the point. The deal of curry lovers combo for $16.25 I though was pretty decent. You get two half portion of two different curries + rice and protein of your choice (some at extra cost). I've also ordered Isaan papaya salad with salted egg which I though was pretty decent as well, even though Isaan food are supposedly to be spicy and pungent. This was not and the color was too light to be called Isaan Tam Mak Hong. Overall the packing and the value were pretty good, So it was a good deal for me using my 50% Uber promo on this restaurant.

    Curry lovers combo set

    I found this spot on Uber Eats, and it was surprisingly pretty good! I ordered the basil chili with beef and the curry lover's combo (green curry + yellow curry). Everything was pretty tasty and flavorful, although the beef was just a little bit dry. I can also tell that this place is able to keep prices low by not fully filling up the containers and by using cheaper veggies in the curries (tons of onions in the yellow curry). But this was a good deal, so can't complain about it!

    It's mid. Got the pad kee mow and it was a bit soggy and not very spicy, flavorful, or authentic compared to the ones I had in Bangkok. There are better spots in the city for Thai. Good variety for vegetarians and vegans though

    Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles)
    Haasith S.

    The food came super fast within 30 min! The taste was on point and the noodles were the right consistency! The portion size was average. The veggies had a crunch to them. Overall one of the better casual Thai places in San Francisco! Pros: great food, great noodles , fast delivery Cons: can't think of much

    Pad thai
    Arri Y.

    A new hidden gem in SF, Basil Cart will leave you on a flavour journey to be remembered! I ordered from Grubhub, and this restaurant was a new option and I'm happy to support new businesses! Other reviews are pretty accurate, as I had a great experience ordering here. They currently have specials on Grubhub which enticed me to try them out but for the quality and flavour it's well worth it regularly. The delivery was timely and the owner included a hand written note, which was a nice touch and shows how much effort they put into their business! I tried the Pad Thai, Green Curry and Yellow Curry. The Pad Thai was very flavourful all around for some authentic flavour. It came with some peanuts and lime for garnish and was very fresh! Had some green onion and beansprouts as well, which I would have liked more of but not a big deal. The dish was also lined with a leaf (not sure what it's called) but also adds to the authenticity. The Yellow Curry had a lot of unique flavourness and rich body. Chunks of carrots and potatoes permeate the dish for some added richness as well which balances out the curry nicely. The Green curry is probably my favourite, as it also had a very rich body and taste as well. The bamboo shoots give a nice crispness to balance out the thick curry, but the flavour is the amazing point. A slight sweetness provides an upside to every bite, and combined with the slight spiciness and texture of the eggplant gives an awesome curry that's not too heavy and should go well with just about anything! The rice was perfect to my preference as well, as it was not soggy so that it goes well with curry. Very fragrant and fresh! All the portions sizes were great, so if you're looking for a nice flavourful and filling meal to satisfy your Thai cravings this is the place!

    "Wok Wok-Fried Broccoli Protein"

    Ordered Uber eats. Some of the worst Thai food I've ever had in my life. Dry, flavorless, meat all fatty. Also checked "add utensils" to all 3 entrees and received no utensils.

    Lydia Z.

    Not bad; very flavorful! A bit pricey for takeout (food was not to share and quite meager) but that is understandable given the current climate. I loved the hand written note and the subtle spiciness of the basil chicken! Wish there was a little less sauce and less dry chicken. Overall, definitely hit the spot!

    Avocado Fresh Summer Rolls
    Savannah P.

    I was having a really bad day last week, so out of the kindness of her heart one of my best friends doordashed me some Avocado Fresh Summer Rolls and Khao Soi from Basil Cart. I think the summer rolls were the best I've ever had. They were incredibly plump, and the peanut sauce that accompanied them was also very thick (in a good way). The Kao Soi was delicious, but then again I don't think I've ever had bad Kao Soi. It's easily my favorite thai dish. Basil Cart was the pick me up I needed to get through a long, tough, rainy day. I would definitely order it for delivery again!

    Penang Curry take out
    Marie K.

    I enjoyed my meal when I was in San Francisco and I ordered it to be delivered to my hotel . I decided to walk to the place and eat there and ended it in the Mission area plagued with drug addicts on opioids who surrounded me . I found the place with Google map but found out that you cannot seat down and eat but do take out only . I was disappointed. I will never forget how the drug addicts were in the neighborhood. I had never been close to people like that . The restaurant is good for take out only . The prices are much higher than in Florida . The coconut rice was over $4 , the entrees over $12 for lunch . The quality was good though .

    Comes packaged separately. No mess.

Tasty and it really hit the spot. Great coffee too! Dinner consisted of a flavorful beef Mussamun chili dish. Awesomely tender beef in a savory sauce. A Stella Artois worked well for my drink. My second breakfast was a Belgian Waffle with Chicken Apple Sausage and Scrambled Eggs. Perfection, with fruit accents of banana, blueberries, strawberries and grapes. Thanks to the chefs and servers at Lapisara! I'm a big fan now.

It was one of those meals where everything just worked, and there wasn't a single dish that I wouldn't happily order again. The restaurant itself is also really cute, with a warm and lively atmosphere and charming interior decor. They have outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option when the weather is good. Dinner can get especially busy on Friday nights and weekends, but the energy is part of what makes this place fun. They stay open until midnight, so later in the evening it really starts to feel like a bit of a scene. I would highly recommend Bottega for both lunch and dinner. Great food, great atmosphere and a menu where you can order pretty much anything with confidence. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again and again.

For some reason, I thought this was a regular restaurant with table service, and a much larger space, but it's a somewhat narrow space and you order at the counter. I decided to try their trio sampler plate so I could get an idea of how a few of their meats were prepared and they each were in their own mini-arepa, so I thought that would be a good introduction. Unfortunately, I didn't like the arepas as much as I thought I would. I found them to be a little dry and lacking that rich corn masa flavor I was expecting. I don't know if this has to do solely with Pica Pica or if it's simply how arepas are made in general, but I came away feeling like I preferred other foods with a corn base such as tamales and pupusas. Meat-wise I had the fried chicken, the shredded beef and the asado negro. The fried chicken, to me, was not very exciting. The shredded beef was good, tasty, but the asado negro was the absolute star of it all? As far as I'm concerned, it's a most delicious cut of brisket with a sweet tomato sauce. I wish I had ordered more. The platanos or fried plantains were not like maduros that are very sweet. They're a little dry and flavorless, and the side order that I got of them for $7.50, they sure don't give you all that many. so that was a bummer for me. I also tried two flavors of what essentially are aguas frescas, the passion fruit and the mango. The passion fruit was out of this world! The mango, don't bother. It tasted like water with a powdered mix. I will definitely be back -- unfortunately, not for the arepas, but for the asado negro, either as a plate with rice & beans or in a salad.

The combination of sweet corn and savory pork was incredible. It's a bit weird though there are was half an uncut avocado just sitting inside the sweet corn crepe. The salad that came was also fresh, and I enjoyed the all the sauces that came with it. The white arepa we had was dry and uninteresting. I liked the plantains and the beef fillings too but the cachapas just couldn't beat. When we asked for to-go they put it in a brown bag. They didn't include any utensils so I suggest getting them if you want to eat somewhere else.

I researched some potential places beforehand, and Otra was one that seemed especially promising. I walked into a nearly empty restaurant and sat at the bar. It was a Monday night, so understandably the vibe was a little less than exciting. But I didn't make the trek for the vibe. I made it for some delicious food. Some of the best reviews mentioned the carnitas tacos, so I had planned on getting those after seeing them on the online menu. But to my surprise, the menu I was given at the restaurant didn't even list carnitas tacos. Then, the bartender also told me that they did not have beef or chicken. I was pretty shocked, considering those proteins make up a significant portion of the menu. He did, however, say that they had quesabirria. Because I generally love quesabirria, that's what I went with. $14 for two is pretty normal in my experience, so the price didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was how watered down and lacking in flavor the consomé was. To me, that's the star of the dish, and without a bold, flavorful consomé, the tacos themselves really have to bring the flavor. Unfortunately, these didn't. I also ordered a frozen prickly pear margarita made with mezcal. This was pretty good if you're a mezcal person. Needless to say, I was disappointed that I made the trek into the city specifically for this restaurant and left feeling pretty underwhelmed. I had heard that Otra is closing in December, so I wanted to try it before it did. I can't imagine this is what Otra was like in its heyday, or it probably wouldn't have survived as long as it has. I wish I had been around to try it then, because based on my experience now, it just wasn't worth the trip.
