Thep Phanom Thai Cuisine

A delightful atmosphere, friendly staff (in traditional Thai attire), and an intriguing menu all contribute to the popularity of this Thai restaurant. Chef Pat Parikanont opened Thep Phanom Thai in the lower Haight Ashbury taking the name from a Thai angel. The menu offers a host of can't-miss dishes, including fried quail, honey-dressed duck, and fragrant seafood options, carefully spiced and impeccably prepared. Adding depth to the exotic, accomplished cuisine is a well-chosen wine list. Casual ambiance is customary in the relaxed, Victorian-home setting. Once the relaxed meal is over, you don't have to go far to find excitement: famous Haight Street is right outside.
