Best duck curry I've ever had, no question. Fresh, slightly crunchy veggies, rich broth. Im totally spoiled for this place. Everything was perfect. I ordered takeout so I cant comment on the service.
I feel like I have to try everything on the menu now

Very little meat in the Praram. It was 90% steamed veg with a thin layer of beef on top that appeared plentiful but was not. The blandest Tom Kha Gai I've ever had that just seemed like very lazy cooking. The coconut milk was still chunky even. I would never order from here again - so many better options for Thai food in SF.

I was part of a group order from this place. My meal came to $86. And it was wholly NOT worth $86! I ordered crab rangoon, cucumber salad, tom kha gai, and the ginger stir fry (can't remember the Thai name) with beef and jasmine rice. The ginger stir fry was the only stir fry dish where the add in of jasmine rice cost $4 (the others' were $2). The portion of stir fry was not commensurate with the cost. (Especially where the cost of appetizers rivals the cost of entrees. My first bite of the stir fry was one large piece of beef gristle. The dish smelled of ginger, but unfortunately lacked any sort of depth of flavor. The soup was excruciatingly sweet and also lacked depth of flavor (no acid, no spice). The cucumber salad was the only thing with spice, but it was also cloyingly sweet.
My fellow group members ordered different curries, and they also all said that it was just all very sweet. No spice. No rich depth of flavor.
My meal should have been $30 max given the quality and portion.

I've gone to this restaurant in person, ordered the Mango Sticky Rice and it was to die for. I saw a deal 2 for 18 for that item and jumped on it because of how good it was when I dined in. It seem like they had the deal to try and get rid of out of season mangos and to get rid of all the leftover rice on hand. The sticky rice was anything but sticky, it was dry, hard and had absolutely not flavor. The top was white but the bottom was green. The bottom of one of the two had a little bit of creaminess but only one bite but the rice was rock hard regardless, my spoon wouldn't even go through it. The mangos were brown. I don't think I'll ever order take out from here again. Maybe it was because they were closing soon? Oh and the portion size was so small. Small scoop of dried rice probably from the bottom of the pan or whatever was left over from the day. They don't want it to go to waste so had the 2 for 18$ deal, that's what it seemed like at least. Night and day difference from dining in and takeout from there. Really disappointed. I wish I would have saved it and took it to the restaurant the next day and showed them just how terrible it was. But with every bite I kept hoping it would get better and it didn't. The only good thing was my Thai Iced Tea.

Saw the two for one deals and thought I'd try the Crab Pad Thai and Panang Curry. The curry was fine but nothing special. The crab Pad Thai is basically just a pile of rice noodles. Zero egg or bean sprouts or peanuts or scallion, with a couple pieces of tofu and a tiny bit of crab on top that did not smell fresh. I’d say skip it — A double portion is not really a deal when you don’t want to eat dish.
