Oh geez..firrs off..just beware of the food you get when you ordered take out. I hate to be giving bad review. But they made me to. I ordered 4 items for take outs; fish cake, green bean tofu, crispy basil tofu and rice for pickup. When I got home; first thing I opened was rice. Sorry, but being Asian myself and eat and cook rice my whole life; I know when rice isn’t fresh. It was rotten rice. I opened the box of rice and first thing I smelled was the smell of old rice that’s been in rice cooker for a week! Yikes! Not just that, the rice was watery. That explained why I can tell right away the rice was bad. I called and told them that they gave me old rice. They offered replacement (thanks), so I had to drive over to get a replacement. When I got there, the nice guy who took the order told the lady in the kitchen about the rice, and I could hear her laughing!! Seriously?!? She’s laughing!? Seems like they deliberately gave me rotten soggy, rotten, smelly rice! Wow! I was speechless! So much for trying to be kind and gave $5 tips for take out food I picked up myself. Never again!! Wow..just wow! Now, not sure if I want to eat them at all and report them to the health department. Lost appetite for having to go through the whole ordeal. Just sad; this would be my last giving them business. I work at the hospital, and being given rotten rice for my take out lunch was just horrible. Sadly I had to file a report about this incident to CDPH to help prevent the same thing happening to future paying customers. I’ve been living in the neighborhood for 19 years; this restaurant used to be good. Not anymore with the new owner.

Best pumpkin curry I've ever had. The kabocha was cooked perfectly. Service was fast and friendly. A very enjoyable experience.Vegetarian options: I had pumpkin curry but both daughters are vegetarian and were very happy with the selection. It was all delicious.

We stopped in here for dinner after a nice walk, the restaurant is located in the middle of the block and I feel like it's easy to miss if you don't look closely. We ordered the roast duck curry and the pad thai with shrimp. Both dishes were delicious! Be warned, we ordered the mild roast duck curry, but it was still a little spicy. The only thing I wish they would have added some potatoes. The Pad Thai was also very tasty, not too sweet or sour.

This cozy Thai restaurant in the Sunset area is a small gem. As expected in the city, parking can be a bit challenging, but once inside, you'll find a colorful and charming interior with plenty of decorative elements to catch your eye. I have a guilty pleasure for admiring the decor in restaurants; anyone else?Our group was seated promptly, and even though it was a Friday night, the place wasn't too crowded. Our waiter was friendly and helpful, especially to those in our group who were new to Thai cuisine. However, there was another waitress who appeared quite irritated with our questions, displaying impatience and a general disinterest.As for the food, it was a delightful Thai feast. I sampled a bit of everything: pad thai, baby corn chicken, eggplant dish, yellow curry, and sticky rice with mango. The overall experience was very satisfying. The pad thai was slightly drier than what I've had elsewhere, but it didn't detract significantly from its flavor. The sticky rice with mango, on the other hand, was a refreshing dessert and easily one of my favorites. While it wasn't the absolute best I've ever had, the food at Vanida left me satisfied.Overall, apart from the one less-than-friendly waitress, it was a good dining experience.

Friendly neighborhood Thai place with great food and friendly servers not far from the beach in the Outer Sunset.Relaxed vibe, natural decor with beautiful paintings and photography on the walls.Many may be familiar with their very popular booth at the Sunset Farmers Market, but this is the mothership! Just a cute little place tucked in alongside North Beach Pizza and a new Boba joint next door. You really can't go wrong on the menu here, but I especially enjoyed their rendition of their Pad See Ew (stir fried wide rice noodles in a sweet soy glaze served with Chinese Broccoli, fried egg and your choice of meat ( pork, chicken, or for $5 extra - seafood). The side salad of mixed greens that came with it was pretty good too!Pad Thai - beautifully presented, and on point!We've been here a few times now and it's still worth coming back.

I came here with my coworkers for a birthday lunch and we love this place! Their lunch special is the best!! Good value for the price :) I got the garlic pork and pad thai which were both delicious but the garlic pork steals the spotlight. If you come here, the garlic pork is a MUST order!!! The lunch special also came with either soup or salad which was a great starter for the actual meal. After hearing we were celebrating a birthday, the Vanida staff provided us with fried banana and ice cream which was super super nice!! I will be coming here more often.

I used to eat here AT LEAST once a week for 10 years. The food is great. Nitta is a GREAT host/server! But I quit going there recently because the new girl they hired is INCREDIBLY RUDE. Too bad, I miss the food. I will be back when she is gone, or learns how to do her job in a polite and professional manner.

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat. The lunch special was out of this world and very flavorful. Got the garlic pork and yellow beef curry. Garlic pork had so much flavor and the beef curry was well balanced with spice.

Great staff, good portions, and quick delivery. Pad Thai and fried spring rolls were very tasty! The people that work there are awesome. I will definitely come back. We'll be back!
