Thai

Michelin contemporary Thai and classic late-friendly Thai kitchens across San Francisco.

San Francisco’s Thai map mixes chef-driven Michelin rooms with long, spicy neighborhood menus. Japantown’s Nari and Union Square’s Kin Khao (same chef-owner) anchor the fine-dining side; Tenderloin and Hayes Valley hold denser everyday Thai, including Lers Ros. Order with spice tolerance in mind: both poles of this guide are known for heat that is not dulled for tourists.

Focus areas: SF Chinatown & Mission, Richmond & Inner Sunset
