"The hard-to-secure reservations are a sure sign this is still an SF foodie hotspot, and the crowd is the type that follows every “best restaurant” list in the city. The inventive Thai menu is not one to be rushed through. Start off with a creative cocktail such as the Visithi made with lemongrass vodka, thai spice and passion fruit. In the starters section, the spicy bay squid with sticky pork jowls is a sure bet, but save room for the filling mains, such as the maan-style beef cheeks braised in coconut-free aromatic curry with masala, peanut, and ginger. The staff’s enthusiasm comes through in their heartfelt recommendations. Lay your trust in them and they will not lead you astray." - Kimberley Lovato, Jenna Scatena
