Curry up and try thai this Thai spot! It shrimp-ly exceeded my expectations. First time trying Khaosoi and it didn't disappoint! The dishes were beautiful AND delicious! The khaosoi beef was literally fall-off-the-bone tender!! Limited order per day* -- lucky enough to try because we came right at opening! Khaosoi shrimp tempura was my fave! if this place was closer to me, I would see myself coming here often. Since it's a small quaint restaurant, it's not ideal for large groups (4+). I saw that they partner with doordash, uber eats, and postmates. It's located in an unassuming area but totally worth checking out. Service was very kind and sweet. Everything on their menu sounded so good!! I had to order a variety of items. - fried fish cakes with sweet chili sauce is such a good pairing! - chicken wings was so addicting! Sweet and tangy. - green curry ramen with tofu -- I'd order this again! - thai tea -- so addicting!!

Our first time having Khao Soi! Khao soi is a coconut milk-based noodle soup from northern Thailand and Laos. And with a restaurant with the name of the actual dish, you know it's going to be good @khaosoisf also has other Thai fusion dishes that we all know and love and each one was presented perfectly and tasted so comforting. Our server was so nice and helpful and the inside is a small and cozy area. Parking can be a hit or miss being in the city. - -- -- - Fried Fish Cake Crispy Spring Rolls Samosa Green Curry KhaoSoi Beef (Limited Order Per Day) Pad See Ew Whole Coconut Juice

The best Khaosoi I've had! With the name of a restaurant being a dish, it has to be good right?! Well, it definitely lives up to the name! Khaosoi Thai offers four different types of Khaosoi dishes, including one with beef, fried chicken, shrimp tempura, and a veggie version. Each consists of egg noodles, egg, crispy noodles, lime, pickles, chilies, and shallots in a creamy coconut curry broth. The texture of the noodles is really good, and the flavor of the broth has a balance of sweet and savory. The Khaosoi Beef is served with a HUGE beef short rib! They have limited orders of this available per day. I also really enjoyed their Thai Fried Rice. You can order this by itself or with fried chicken. I highly recommend ordering it with the fried chicken though! The batter on the outside is light and crispy. It also comes with a tasty sauce for dipping. The green curry is served with rice and is loaded with lots of vegetables, including regular eggplant, Thai eggplant (which I don't often see!), bamboo shoots, and bell peppers. You also choose your protein: chicken, tofu, beef, or shrimp. For appetizers, we got the Crispy Egg Rolls and Samosas. The egg rolls are thin and contain vegetables and glass noodles with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. The samosas appear empanada-like in shape but are more flakey and have potatoes and other vegetables inside. It's served with a curry sauce for dipping. I love that both of these appetizers are also served with a refreshing yet tart cucumber salad on the side. They're also topped with edible flowers and are quite pretty! I would definitely recommend the Thai Chicken Salad as well! This larb is aromatic and flavorful. There's a chili pepper symbol next to it on the menu, but I didn't think it was too spicy, so don't stray away from this one if you're worried about the heat! Other unique items on the menu that I'll have to come back to try are their Tom Yum Ramen and Green Curry Ramen! Overall, great food, cute interior space, and friendly service!

I'd definitely say this place is underrated! Walked over from Golden Gate Park with a friend in search of Thai food and stumbled upon Khao Soi Thai Cuisine. I'm very glad I did! We started with the crispy spring rolls, and they were a great way to begin our meal. The rolls were dressed up beautifully, crispy on the outside, had tasty filling inside, and came with a some marinated veggies and a sweet and tangy dipping sauce that complemented them nicely. For the main course, I had the green curry, which was fantastic. The curry wasn't too spicy, and was sweet & rich with comforting flavors. The combination of fresh vegetables and tender meat in the curry made each bite a delightful experience. The fragrant jasmine rice that accompanied the dish soaked up the curry sauce beautifully, making it a satisfying and hearty meal. I couldn't even finish it, but on the bright side I had some leftovers to take home! Khao Soi Thai Cuisine exceeded my expectations with its delicious food, great service, and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Thai dining experience near Golden Gate Park. This place is definitely a hidden gem!

No complaints on the food -- though I think for vegetarians kin Khao has better broth. 1 star off cause they were defrosting n chicken in the sink they said customer can wash their hands in (the only sink they have available for customers is in the kitchen).

KhaoSoi has simple decor but flavorful food. Service was quick and responsive to my dining needs. My water was constantly refilled which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely go again and try more from their fabulous menu. Bael Fruit Tea Decaf with free refills. A solid evening tea choice. Garden Rolls Crunchy and most refreshing bite. The saucy is a little spicy, but I enjoyed it. Garlic Brussels Sprouts Crispy and a good texture. Tasty sauce. Chicken Wings Tangy flavor. Aftertaste of spice. Khaosoi Shrimp Tempura Broth is delicious as is the hard boiled egg. There are soft noodles and crunchy noodles. Both work very well. The tempera soaked in the broth is just delightful.

Came here on a Wednesday with a friend and was seated right away. It's a really small quaint restaurant but was very welcoming. My friend and I both ordered the Khao Soi with Fried chicken. The portion here is huge which was nice but we were so full after. The soup was very creamy and tasty and came with a kick of spice which was nice add to the dish. I loved the combo of both the fried noodle and the soft in the soup noddles. Overall really enjoyed the khao soi here! I would come back to try out some of their other dishes they have!

This place caught my eye for their khaosoi, and it delivered! We had the beef khaosoi, pad thai, fried fish cakes (todman), and the minced chicken salad. Beef khaosoi, was top notch, with a solid (mild) curry flavor, and the beef was fall off the bone tender. Pad thai was great too, noodles were on the soft chewy (mochi mochi) side, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked to still be nice and tender. Fish cakes also had a good flavor and light crispiness on the outside. The minced chicken was just so-so though. Service was solid, and food came out pretty quick. Place is a bit small. Table seating for 12, and 6 bar seats. So place isnt suitable for large groups. Overall, recommend the place if you are in the area, or craving some khaosoi.

We got the chicken and the shrimp Khaosoi as well as an appetizer of the crispy spring rolls. The chicken one was almost double the portion size as the shrimp one for the same price. I think we could have shared just the chicken one between two people. Overall, it was good for the flavors we were looking for. It's unique to find Khaosoi as a Thai dish anywhere so it was a pleasant treat! The different flavors and textures between the eggs, pickled veg, types of noodles, and the protein were such a nice experience that I'd encourage others to try. The place is nice and small, tucked away almost like a hole in the wall. I'd call it cozy. Friendly service. However, San Francisco has so many other great food options to choose from at a similar price point. Overall good quality, especially for finding decent Khaosoi, but given the high quality variety in the area I probably won't be back.
