Yin Li: If you don't like Thai curry for its sweetness, try the beef noodle soup or the tom yum noodle soup. The fried chicken is also great!
Runqiu Cai: Very flavorful and creative Thai food. Rice salad, fried chicken wings, 24hr beef noodle soup 👍👍
Laurea de Ocampo: Some of the best Thai in SF! Get the fried chicken - it comes with a delicious red curry and roti. The blue rice is for visual effect, doesn't affect the taste. Also get the ginger milk tea.

Niki Baker of foreignspell: Great for a group! Delicious food. Loved the burger (as usual) fried chicken and the cinnamon toast. Favorite drink (the pick up - I think) had great cardamom flavor.
Tasting Table: Hang out on the covered patio and try Chef Anthony Myint’s tasty fried chicken and seven-bean salad. For an even greater meal, though, try his burger, its patty a work of both science and art: Read more.

Caroline Donaghy: The line to sit is really long, you can get takeout but its not advertised well. Apparently the wait if for the grilled chicken which I will wait for someday. Good fried chicken good fries! Yum!
Insp Ackord Panaligan: Oh wow I love this place I didn't think Latin fried chicken take so good especially Pollo Campero mashed potatoes it tastes so fluffy and buttery it makes Popeyes run for its money.
Kian Lavi: Fried chicken = rico
Andy B: Hard to think of a spot with a better beer selection in SF. California heavy draft selection with hard to find brews from top brewers. Fried chicken sando is top notch.
Curtis Shoung: $13 weekday lunch special for a really great fried chicken sandwich (or burger) with fries. It's around the corner from my office and we are all restraining ourselves from going more than once a week.
Bommy: Never that crowded or loud, it's a great spot to bring out-of-towners who like craft beer. No large plate vegetarian dishes but the hand cut kennebec fries are amazing. Super thick wedge fries!
