Grand Pu Bah - Thai Beach Cuisine & Bar
What People Are Saying About Grand Pu-Bah

In Short – Industrial decor meets neo-Asian at this modern Potrero Hill location. A glowing glass-and-stainless-steel bar, abstract tree patterns on the wall and a flat-screen TV give the venue a hip vibe. Grand Pu Bah covers Thai basics such as pad thai, panang curry and spring rolls, but also serves some less common vegetarian items like sweet and sour taro. Ornate presentation sets these dishes apart from cheaper Thai food around the city, and the bar offers an ever-expanding list of specialty drinks.

Grand Pu Bah - Ah, ah gooood!
by sittinnpretty
Fantastic, I love the atmosphere and the food and great service. I want to eat here every night. Steve and Sara are so nice (owners). The food is very good. The flavors are subtle and refined and the presentation is certainly fussed over. The fried spring rolls are as good as they get - crisp, light. The fresh spring rolls are good, the chicken satay is great. The full bar is AMAZING. totally great drinks... so go early, have a drink then go sit down for dinner... enjoy!
- Pros: Everything from start to finish

Trichinosis Blue Plate Special
by mrf00die
Main complaint is an undercooked (read: cold interior) pork dish. This is simply the sign of a kitchen not caring. Another complaint is that portion size is similar to that credit card commercial about plating looking like "elf food". Pad Thai was an unbalanced glob.
Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis, is a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork and wild game infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm. Trichinosis initially involves the intestines. Within 1-2 years of contagion, symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, dyspepsia, and stomach upset appear; the severity of these symptoms depends on the extent of the infection. Later on, as the worms encyst in different parts of the human body, other manifestations of the disease may appear, such as headache, fever, chills, cough, eye swelling, joint pain and muscle pain, petechiae, and itching.
Most symptoms subside within a few years. The most dangerous case is worms entering the central nervous system. They cannot survive there, but they may cause enough damage to produce serious neurological deficits (such as ataxia or respiratory paralysis), and even death.
- Pros: Not crowded
- Cons: Food, portions, prices
