In Short – The small dining area is almost always crowded, with one rectangular room ornately decorated along the walls by gilt highlights leading to somewhat noisy acoustics. The atmosphere can lean from festive to frenetic, and the crowd is a constantly shifting mix of all walks of city life. The menu includes lemon grass salad, crispy fried calamari and boneless crispy duck. Creative dishes like filet of catfish in thick curry sauce and complex seafood options are also available.

Pumpkin Curry, Who knew?!
by ksjjj
I was down the street having my hair styled and was totally craving Thai food, so I asked my stylist what Thai place near by she reccommended and all signs pointed me to Thep Phanom. She said that I had to have the Titanic Shrimp...When I got there I was so surprised to find the most adorable Thai place and some of the best service I have had in awhile. Both my husband and I selected from the prix fixe menu and I had this pumpkin curry dish that was incredible...Yummy!
- Pros: prix fixe
- Cons: parking

Check your bills!
by megankell
This restaurant offers good enough Thai food and is one of better places in Lower Haight. However, they have overcharged me twice! I caught it the first time while I was still at the restaurant and they fixed it. But the second time, it seems as if they added a tip on my takeout bill. My receipt says $33.50 but my credit card statement says $40.20! Beware.
- Cons: Double-check your receipts!

Lousy, overly sweet food for westerners who don't know what Thai food is supposed to taste like.
by joe1234568
It amazes me that Thep Phanom keeps getting rave reviews. It's just not good. The ingredients are just okay (they use lots of canned vegetables) and the cooking is way below typical Thai standard.
But they do have a secret ingredient: sugar. They sweeten up all the dishes and for some reason westerners who have no idea what real Thai food should taste like eat it up.
If you like sugar noodles, go to Thep Phanom. If you want real Thai food, go somewhere else.
