Happy hour $3 per draft pint. Fantastic calamari as appetizers. I love that it comes as whole calamari steaks not just rings. Very soft and tender. Recommend Tom Yum Sea Buss Soup. Yummiest!!!

Park on Freelon or Welsh. Get a Bangkok signature cocktail. Try the kur kling and bags of gold or the pumpkin curry - all delish!

Cute date spot that never seems too loud/packed. Get the pumpkin curry or any of their noodle dishes -- the pad thai isn't too sweet like some places.

Anyone can knock it out of the park with sea bass... but if you're looking for something a little decadent, they have a dish with fried pork belly that is just divine. Not for the faint of heart.

Good food but smaller portions They have you order by check marking a paper menu and you pay for the order upfront. Don't know if they're trying to save money on service but it isn't very good now.

As for me, it's a walking distance great thai food in south beach, sf, ca. pad thai with Tofu is great!Serving lunch, dinner, and drinks with regional specialties.

The sirloin salad is really good! Get it with steamed rice though - it's kinda spicy.

Not authentic, but good taste overall. Liked the Panäng Curry with beef, too sweet maybe. Mango salad was ok, but not close to authentic. Call them for cheaper price than online order.

Split the sampler platter among 2+ people, especially if you like dim sum-type dining. It's good stuff.
