In many years, living in such a food culture and high competitive city like San Francisco, I know that I can bring immense satisfaction of restaurant business into the new home. We have a love of art, theatre, enjoy people, love quality food, and high-energy service. After having more than a decade of working in more than five restaurants and operating a successful catering business, I think it is the time to have our own place to enjoy the feel, sense, and spirit of Thai cuisine and atmosphere.
