My meal here was a rather pleasant surprise. A group of us came down the stairs to find that we were only ones there on a Tuesday at 11:45am. We all decided to try Thai food and I went with the Eggplant and Tofu and added Chicken and asked for Brown Rice. The dish was really tasty and not too oily like some eggplant dishes can be. There was good seasoning and spice. I did opt to go with spicy when asked. Others in my group had curries, Pad Thai, noodle soup, and fried rice. Everyone said they liked their meals. The portion sizes were just right with a few of them not finishing their dish. By 12:10, the Thai place had a line where the other vendors did not. That kind of tells you something.
Again, best Thai food in the city. Always crowded so you know it's . Fried Chicken Over Fried Rice . Wonderful staff and authentic food! - Johnny
I call this location, THE DUNGEON! Only because it's hidden downstairs Pad-Kemao IS A MUST. I get medium and it's enjoyable if you love spicy it gives you that kick. With a side of soup is everything. Love love love
I was able to eat lunch at Thainery Thai Restaurant for lunch today. One reason I came here is because I never got the chance to eat at the International Food Court before until today. The Pad Thai I ordered was very good and not too greasy like at some other places. The workers were friendly, my order was completed fairly quickly and I got more food than I had expected. I really enjoyed my meal while sitting in the clean dining area. I plan to come back here again if I get the chance.
Solid lunch. Lunch plate - Thai Basil Chicken - sweet, yummy, would definitely be universally liked by kids and adults - Eggplant - YUM, you can never go wrong with stir fried eggplant - portion was generous as I got this in a bowl for here Overall, was a good option to stop by especially with the overcrowding at other places due to the Warriors parade
The basil ground chicken over rice is good here, just enough saltiness and no flavor overpowers it, and the spice kick slowly builds. Other items are average, not bad. The iced tea or coffee are on the sweet side, and strong. Not the best around but better than mall Thai food, and the portions do not match the pricing. However, the food is made to order - go this route - as the lunch specials are served from pre-made food trays. A definite stop if hours or lunch time are limited. Located below street level at the International Food Court (https://www.yelp.com/biz/international-food-court-san-francisco). Signage on both Kearny and Bush streets points to its location.
I was looking for a relatively cheap Thai place for lunch in FiDi and this definitely fit the bill. The restaurant is actually a food stall in the International Food Court on Kearny. There are stairs leading down to an underground food court that are easy to miss, so keep an eye out and Google Maps handy! Their menu covers all your bases for those Thai cravings (pad thai, pad see ew, fried rice, green curry, etc) and they have 2-item lunch specials too. Each item and their lunch specials are all around $10. I got the fried chicken over fried rice and it was amazing. The fried rice was super flavorful and it came with a good amount of fried chicken. I was pretty happy with the amount of fried rice too. My order was ready within 10 minutes, which was awesome considering the long line during peak lunch hour. All al la carte dishes are made to order, so my food came out nice and hot. I ordered mine to eat there, but they do use Ritual for pick-up. The food court does tend to get pretty packed at the height of lunch hour. It becomes somewhat of a ghost town past 1PM, so I'd recommend going then if you don't want to wait in line or like eating in peace. Overall, this makes for the perfect spot for Thai takeout. And plus, they accept cash and card.
