Nakorn Thai SF — Restaurant in San Francisco

Just finished my delicious lunch and savoring the sublime state of satiation. We always forget to take a pic before we eat but alas I could only t snap this photo.

Highly recommend for delicious, well made, Thai food in a cozy no frills spot in the Richmond. Formerly King of Thai Noodle, the chef is the same as before the name change and the menu has a good variety of noodles, curries, soups, rice dishes and appetizers you’d expect (satay, papaya salad) Came here with my mom who loves their sweet and sour prawns-this is an amazing dish, the prawns are coated in a super light crunch that makes the whole dish come together. Sauce was perfectly balanced. I had the Tom yum soup with tofu and it was the perfect sour/hot combo. The bowl was huge. Pad Thai noodles were al dente and dry (a good thing, not too saucy). Service was fast, attentive and friendly. It’s a small space that can fill up quickly but tables turnover relatively fast and this place is totally worth the wait. So glad to have rediscovered this place and happy to have another option for...

My new favorite Thai restaurant in SF. We ordered pork larb medium spicy and yum talay- both were excellent! The seafood in the yum talay was all tender and fresh, and the ground pork in the larb was succulent. Similarly, I felt our tom kha gai stood out from other restaurants because the chicken was still moist. The flavors didn't stop there- we also ordered the pad prik king with a crispy pork belly substitution served Thai spicy. DELICIOUS. We were very happy campers, and I really appreciated that they were upfront that swapping the meat choice would come with an additional charge. I think that's totally fair when subbing a "premium" meat.

The place is small and clean. Don't be deterred looking in from the outside- there is seating in the back for ~16 people.

This was a really wholesome neighborhood spot. Both servers on duty were attentive, and everything was handled with great care. Nakorn Thai SF is a new (to me) favorite I can't wait to share with friends and out of...
