Been here a few times and was always happy with the experience. A Vietnamese friend introduced me to the place and we always come here for our Thai food fix. We especially like their pork fried rice, crispy fish and pad see ew. Every new thing we try gets added to that list plus all the regular offerings like Pad Thai, etc.

We walked for 15 minutes just to try their food and it really satisfied our cravings! Tom yum soup is the bomb! Pad Thai tastes incredible! The serving was fast too. Authentic Thai food Fried rice is not too oily. Just the right asian fried rice. We will surely come back to this place!

Coming from a Thai person: this is the most authentic Thai spot I’ve tried in SF so far! It’s a no-frills, hole in the wall vibe, so don’t expect too much in the way of ambience, but the food is amazing and the servers are really friendly. They have a large variety of Thai food as per usual, but highlights are the grilled pork neck and som tum (pappaya salad), which taste exactly like they do back home. Their crispy pork belly with chinese broccoli is also amazing, the pork belly is perfectly crunchy and so well seasoned. Beef noodle soup was hearty and umami and so comforting!! Really generous servings as well. This is my new go-to spot for Thai food!

Went in when it was pretty empty so I was expecting a decently delicious meal but sadly all I got was this under seasoned chicken over rice. Rice was good but the chicken was lacking any type of seasoning it was beyond bland and on top of that the bell pepper were raw and burnt at the same time. Would not recommend! Staff were very condescending too they seemed very annoyed to even take my order.

Sooo so yummy!! The food was delicious and refreshing and the service was excellent. The papaya salad was SPICY, well balanced by the lettuce. (Ask for mild if you’re sensitive to spice.) Definitelyyyyy get the mango sticky rice.

Regrettably, my visit to Sai Jai, an “authentic” Thai restaurant in the Tenderloin, left much to be desired. Despite having encountered subpar Thai takeout in the past, this experience stood out as particularly disappointing.

Was on my list for some time. The place has potential, but it was either an off night or they have chosen to move away from authentic Thai food to get more customers. We ordered everything that was recommended. The only good thing was the fried catfish, though the pieces were small and too deep fried. Other items we had were drunken noodles (no heat), Penang curry (too liquidy), eggplant stir fry (no flavor). The hear scale is mild (almost no spice), medium (which we had is a little spice). We didn’t try hot thinking it would be Thai spicy. Thai food tastes wierd and sweet if you cheat on the heat. Also didn’t think the ingredients were the best quality. Will.probably skip.

Oh my good, Sai Jai Thai has been my all time favorite Thai Crusine since 2000, their Pork Shoulder is one of the best dish, and so does the Stir-fried Morning Glory (On-Choi) is the must order although it’s an off menu and seasonal dish, so you have to request when they take your order, last but not least for dessert, the Mango Sticky-rice Top w/Sweet Coconut Milk and a Thai Ice Tea in a to-go cup are the must haves! Enjoy!

I really like the pork shoulder, fried chicken bones and papaya salad. I’ve tried other dishes but those are must order for me. My brother got me hooked on this place back in 2015 and my family and I have been going here since.
