Great lunch eatery in vacant SOMA Basil Thai is a refreshing change for a south of market lunch eatery. They serve up tasty thai appetizers and the entrees are just plain fun. The pad thai is delicious, as is their stuff eggplant dish. In fact, I've heard very few complaints about any of the dishes. Check it out if you're in SOMA.

The pad thai is also delicious, as is their spicy seafood soup. In fact, I've heard very few complaints about any of the dishes. Check it out if you're in SOMA. The screamin... read more

This place has really good Thai food, we ate here twice in the last week and we were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and the food. Both were excellent. The staff was super friendly, and I have to say: the cocktails were amazing. I would highly recommend this place.
