King of Thai: San Francisco

Date:  lundi 5 octobre 2009
Location:  639 Clement St
(between 7th Ave & 8th Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94118
(415) 831-9953


King of Thai is one of the yummiest, cheapest, fresh fast-food thai joints in town.  The location listed here is the ORIGINAL King of Thai.  There are about 3 other locations throughout SF, yet this one is the smaller and more authentic location.  They are a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall with an open kitchen and fast, friendly service.  Mouth watering recipes are served alongside traditional vinegar-pepper sauces, pepper flakes, etc.  They also close late (~2am).  


I love their green curry and pumpkin squash curry.  You have a choice of adding chicken, pork, or tofu.  House fried rice is also delicious with duck, though personally I have cut back on rice and breads.  It is a fun place to go to on a casual night when you want to catch up with a close friend over a home cooked meal. 


I came here this evening to request a quick order of their green curry, and a diet coke.  ^^  I was tired and exhausted after a full 10 hours of wine education and driving around like a mad woman looking for paper post 6pm in the Outer Richmond.  It was getting cold outside... and I was alone and hungry...  straight drive by to KING OF THAI!


My friends from Southern California (Lee Pee Pee you know who you are) crave this place.  They  make it a point to venture to the Inner Richmond to get their fill when visiting SF.  I am so lucky because it is in my hood!

The minced meat dishes are key. It seems to be hand chopped into pieces slightly bigger than what you find in machine ground meat giving it a great texture. If this seems impractical and unlikely try to use your imagination ok?
