been here twice already and will keep coming back for some solid thai food! first time we were seated indoors, it's a really small restaurant so we just had to wait 20-30 mins for the next party to leave. we also shared a table with these two other strangers which we were fine with. service wasn't that quick given one girl had to do everything, but she was still great and i can't imagine the restaurant hiring too many more staff when the restaurant space itself is tight. the tom yum noodle soup was really good and large portion second time we came 40 minutes before closing, and they wouldn't seat us so we had to get takeout. ordered chicken over fried rice, pad see ew, and pad thai. all were cooked on the spot and still hot and fresh by the time i drove home. read more

So sad to write and have experienced this--being this was 1 of my fav Thai spots in the City! I got food poisoning from this restaurant. I ordered the tofu pad Thai, Thongler Curry, and sweet taro puffs. I also noticed there have been multiple reports of food poisoning complaints from The Thongler recently. read more

Stumbled upon The Thonglor pretty much by chance and I could not have been happier. My girlfriend and I had just gotten to SF that night and were aimlessly searching for a place to eat on the way back to our hotel. Saw this place had good reviews and we can always go for Thai food, so we figured we'd give it a shot. It's a relatively small restaurant and with COVID seating is limited to 4 (or 5?) tables with plastic curtains separating them for safety. The tables were full when we got there but luckily there was a pair about to leave. As they were leaving, one of the guys said, "you're gonna love it. everything is amazing." I can't speak for "everything" but I can tell you the two entrees we got were phenomenal. Our go-to Thai dishes are green curry and thai basil but we figured we'd try something new. They have a curry called Thonglor curry, and how could we not try their namesake curry? One of the best curries I've ever had. It's a red curry with kabocha squash and several veggies (plus your choice of protein), mild-med spicy, incredibly flavorful. I believe the other dish we got was the guay tiew nua sub, which was also delicious. Portions were large, so we had some to take home. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was amazing. Hidden(?) gem in the Union Square area, which didn't seem to have a lot of great food options, especially compared to other SF neighborhoods. Even if you're not in the area, I think it's fully worth making your way over here. Highly recommend. read more

The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and service was great. I had been looking forward to stopping in during my visit to SF. I was not disappointed. The restaurant is small but didn't feel over crowded, even when it filled up at lunchtime. I asked for mild to medium spice and it was a little spicier than I had anticipated, but I really enjoyed it. read more

This place is become a San Francisco favored of ours. We stop here every time we visit the city. The food is absolutely amazing and taste great. The portions are excellent. The staff is really friendly, but sometimes you have to get there early to get a seat. read more

Loved the pad see ew, ask for spicy and you'll be happy!! One of the best hole in the wall thai spots in the city

Went for lunch on a Friday, the restaurant wasn't full but the waitress wouldn't let us sit in the empty table right away, she was kinda rude and indicated that we look at the menu while we waited at the door. When we placed the order for larb salad, she asked how spicy we wanted; my friend replied "hot", the waitress asked " Are you sure?" My friend said " Yes". When the larb salad arrive, it was not very spicy at all. It was described as served on a bed of lettuce but what came with the larb were some small square pieces of lettuce on the side. Definitely not large enough to put the larb on top. The lychee roast duck curry was delicious but we got jasmine rice instead of the coconut rice as ordered. We had to flag down someone to correct the mistake. The Guay Tiew Nua Sub was very good also although it was a small portion. When using the facilities in the back through the swinging doors, I saw 2 large opens tubs of minced meat placed on the stairs. The wooden high chairs stacked there were dirty looking. Sitting at the next table to us was a family with a toddler who was stepping all over the bench seat, but when they left, I don't think the staff bothered to clean the seat area. This place gets one star for cleanliness and one star for service. Four stars for food. read more

Good location. Prices are meh. Flavors inauthentic. But it seemed popular on a Tuesday night. Nice staff.

Came here on a recent vacation to San Francisco. It's a great hole in the wall spot. I love Thai food. The restaurant space is tight. You'll definitely get bumped into if you're seated in the main aisle. The main kitchen is by the front door, which I love, because you can watch them make your food. We sat by the back door which meant we heard the dishwasher sanitizer go off every 10 minutes. Service was standard. The couple next to us complained about their food being too spicy and the server brought them a Thai iced tea. We got the Vegetarian Curry Puffs which are a vegetarian filled puff pastry served with plum sauce for $10.25. This was like an empenada filled with a mashed potato veggie mixture. It was very good. The plum sauce wasn't a plum sauce, it was a sweet chili sauce. You can tell by the picture. We also got the Thonglor Curry which has kabocha squash, string bean, bell peppers, bamboo shoot, and Thai basil leaves in a red curry for $16.00. We chose chicken as the protein. This was too spicy for us. We didn't complain because everyone's spice level is different, and I don't like a lot of heat. I was thinking this would be more like a panang curry, which is my favorite Thai curry. I would try a different curry next time. Lastly, we got the Beef Ball Noodle Soup which is your choice of noodles with beef balls, seasonal green vegetable and bean sprouts in a spicy beef broth for $14.95. This was our favorite. The broth was rich in flavor and there were plenty of meatballs. The beef broth is not spicy at all like the description says. We chose egg noodles which went perfectly with the broth. If you're near Union Square, check this place out. read more

A little hike in the wall! We ordered the pad thai and string beans. Both were delicious packed with flavor! I recommend everything.

Love love love it! This seem an unlikely spot for valentine's day dinner date but you'd be wrong to say that if you're looking for great food. My partner loves Thai food so I decided to take her there on Valentine's Day and I score a big mark. It's a hole in the wall with only 4-5 tables. I couldn't make a reservation and realized why once we got there. You'll likely have to wait but I promise it's worth it. Folks were very kind and the waiter cleverly got us to order while waiting so by the time we sad down our food was ready pretty swiftly. We ordered Lychee Curry with Roast Duck and chicken curry. Both meals were pretty good and portions were generous especially for the price. I highly recommend this place for an authentic Thai meal experience! read more

Thonglor was good. Got a decent amt of food foe the price, much better deal than osha. The place is very small so it gives the illusion of being super packed from the outside as people are waiting foe their food inside. Def should call ahead and place ur order cause its a long ass wait usually around 20-30 mins for ur food. Def would order again though read more

Really small and a bit cramped, but charming, and understandable given how good the food is. Service was quick and staff are quick and patient despite it being seemingly hard to move around in the restaurant. read more

Hole in the wall restaurant with decent Thai food. There are generous portions and everything has a vegetarian option, which is great. Food was good and flavorful. The only downside is that the restaurant didn't have air conditioning. I happened to go when we had our heatwave and eating spicy Thai food in hot weather isn't the moooost pleasurable experience. read more

Very tiny place - seats about 12-15 people maybe but the food is authentic and comparable to what I can get in Asia. The whole time we were dining in, people are coming in to order or do take outs. The staff are welcoming and accommodating. Kop kun kaaaaa. Love SF for the abundance of great little restaurants like this. read more

A very small Thai restaurant which open at 4PM that will surprise you in terms of flavors and pricing. It is located next to the Union Square shopping center. The restaurant is very small and had only 6 tables so if you had a big party of 6 and over, not a great space. The kitchen is in front of the restaurant as you enter it. The foods here is from good to excellent so you wouldn't end up with a bad choices. I likes the fried chicken over fried rice. The chicken was crispy and the fried rice was fresh. The fried taro appetizer was more like a dessert for me. The taro filling was sweet and taste as a great dessert without dipping the dipping sauce comes with it. The papaya salad was good but needs more spicy to it since I liked my foods to be extra spicy but those who who can't handle the spicy this is great! The pad sew you noodle was okay. The combinations beef noodle soup was good. It was a cold day in SF so this really hot the spot for me. The fried banana ice cream was good too, add the peanuts to the coconut ice cream and it brings to a different level. The fried banana was too overly sweet for me. Overall, I will definitely be back here again since the foods was flavorful and the price was great. Be sure to arrive early! read more

Ordered my go-to dish Pad See Ew here along with Pad Thai and a curry dish, everything came out super fast and was delicious! I like my noodles saucy and it was definitely saucy and flavorful. I believe they changed names because it looks different but this place is just as good. I wish I lived closer as I would come here more often. It's a cozy little spot with great service. read more

There pad Thai is so good. They also make really good basil fried rice. I also love there fried chicken over rice. They give good portions. Prices are pretty good too. read more

I love Thai! The restaurant was busy on Valentine's Day. The food was prepared quickly and every plate served looked delicious! I ordered Pineapple Fried Rice and it was yummy! Don't be put off by the raisins in the dish, they add a sweet and interesting flavour. Curry powder inside makes the dish shine through and the onions make this Thai dish distinct. Calamari was crispy and salted to perfection! I love the Pad Thai and the tom yum soup. Enjoy a cozy atmosphere and the clink of plates and hushed whispers as you sink deep into the flavors of Thailand. Tell them Muse Travel Co. sent you! read more

Came here on a Saturday during the Lunar New Year parade and it was pretty busy. The space is small but we got seated in about 15 minutes. I got the panang curry and my friend got the Thonglor. The panang wasn't too spicy and had a lot of meat which I enjoyed. Overall a solid choice for curry and can't wait to try their other dishes on the next visit into the city. read more

The Thonglor - Thonglor Curry and Panang Curry - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

5/5 food 3/5 dining experience The service was great, the only problem is that we were sat by a door that was partially open, and it was windy and cold that day. Pretty sure I got a runny nose from the lunch, and the wind made our food get cold quicker. That being said, the food was great. Got the tom yum soup, pad kee mao, appetizer sampler, and the crab fried rice. All of it was delicious. I'll be back -- but for takeout only. read more

I ordered a pad Thai online 20 mins prior to my lunch time. The place is super small and it seems like only one lady was working, which was odd to me. The lady didn't understand what I was saying when I told her I'm picking up my food. I just grabbed my food and left. The pad Thai was so flavorful and sweet. They gave a lot of tofu and chicken! The noodles was cooked perfectly. It was so satisfying! The only downside is its little pricier than I thought but it is located in downtown sf financial district, so I can understand why the price is higher. Overall, I would recommend this place for some authentic Thai food if you're a tourist or happen to be in downtown. Just expect a long wait time if you dine in. read more

Delicious Thai food, in a simple setting, with unique dishes. The red curry duck with lychee nut was something I had never seen on a menu before and was utterly delicious. Pad Thai also on point, we had it with shrimp, great flavors! If you're in the union square area at a hotel or just traveling by or live in the neighborhood definitely give it a try! read more

THIS WAS STUNNING!!, Kim was a very nice server, the rice was on point by the Chinese folks overall very beautiful place to visit!!

Fast pre theater service - tasty taro puffs and crabmeat fried rice. Loud and crowded, but that's to be expected given the location and timing. Would love to return and try more of the menu. read more

This was the best Thai food I've ever had in my life. Thai food is solid and always good, but this was through the roof. Don't think I've ever tasted Thai food like this, and the prices were also very very reasonable. All dishes were Packed with amazing and fresh ingredients, and I definitely understand why it is jam packed with people with a line out the door. Don't worry, the line moves pretty fast. Amazing experience overall, will come back every single time I am in this city. read more

The Thonglor - Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - San Francisco, California

This review is for takeout only, not for service and dine-in. Easily some of the best Thai Food I have ever had. Many places rely on palm sugar covering sub-par flavor profiles -- not here. The taste was fresh, bright, balanced. Ordered green curry, pad kee mao, and thai ice tea. All SPLENDID. My roommates stopped me to ask about it because the basil was so fragrant. The chicken in the pad kee mao was ground and I am so grateful for this. It was better seasoned, very moist, and much much more approachable than cheap chicken pieces found in many other restaurants. 10/10 will recommend endlessly to everyone who talks to me for more than two minutes. read more

Tiny space, matter-of-fact service, EXCELLENT food. Try the eggplant and the lychee duck currry.

This is literally the best Thai food I've ever had. It's a little hole in the wall but even though they are so busy, the food came really quick & I was seated right away. Good Thai food can be hard to find but next time I'm in the city I will definitely back! Big portions too, perfect for family style. Go here if you want amazing food!! You won't regret it! read more

Hands down the best, authentic Thai food! Food was always fresh and piping hot. I was visiting SF on a quick 4 day trip, and we ate here on 3 of those days! I highly recommend this place, you will not regret it! The place is very, very small, about 4-5 tables, but the service is very quick! We never had more than a ten minute wait. Our favorite was the Garlic Pepper Chicken (Pad Gra Tiam), so flavorful and so fresh! We kept coming back just for this! We also tried the Red Curry, Spring Rolls, Pad Thai and the Curry Puffs, which were all delicious. The portion sizes were also very generous. I absolutely loved that they have vegetarian/vegan options without fish sauce and oyster sauce. This is always an issue with vegetarians eating Thai food, so this was a huge plus point for my family! read more

First spot to try in San Francisco and I was pleasantly pleased. Please get the veggie spring rolls. The best I ever had!! Fresh and hot!! This was a small place the ambience was poor and tight which made me a little skeptical. Despite the busyness I wanted to try a main dish and appetizer. But the wait time for that was 30-40 mins. The staff was very nice patient with me ordering and multitasking. Cant wait to come back on a less busy hour and try a main dish. I decided on the veggie spring rolls! It was a right size ( most places have smaller ones with bland filling) You get 3' 1.50 Ooooohhh myyyyy goodness. Here is a pic which doesn't do it justice. Make sure you go taste them l!! read more
