The Pad kee mao was cooked just right and was delicious. The customer service was professional and friendly. I recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves authentic Thai food.

Was surprised to see that our regular delivery spot has few reviews, but I realized once I picked up that Samila is also Patpong Thai. This is our go to Thai spot living in the Outer Richmond. We typically order the beef pad see ew and a chicken yellow or red curry. 5/5 for portions/price - still able to order a plate for under $13 that has maintained generous portions both for the plate and the ingredients (meat and veggies) within the curries or noodles (we don't see that everywhere nowadays!) 4/5 for quality/flavor - this is your classic neighborhood Thai spot. We love that the curries always have great flavor with a little bit of heat to it. The veggies and chicken especially always tastes fresh and is well cooked (chicken breast isn't ever dry at all). 5/5 for consistency - flavor, portions and wait time are always consistent. Samila won us over from our original go to spot after we tried them once, and we've ordered only from them since!

I've never left a Yelp review before but this place is just THAT good. I've tried my fair share of Thai food places in San Francisco, and was always a bit disappointed at the noodles and curries (I was spoiled by some amazing Thai food where I grew up before moving to SF). This place hits the nail on the head, though. The pad thai is perfectly seasoned, has a great noodle texture and a healthy serving of veggies/tofu/peanuts/etc. I tried the Eggplant dish the other day and I couldn't believe that eggplants could be that buttery and delicious. Definitely recommend, I'm glad it's in my neighborhood! Please support this restaurant, especially now! Update - food is also always hot and prepared on time for take out!

SUPER fast delivery, great food and great prices! I wish i would have found them out sooner--especially during covid!

Not bad. Better Thai food in the area of course but it's a cute restaurant. I was the only customer in the restaurant so it was a quiet and nice lunch. The waitress was very friendly as well. I will be back in the future! This is probably a great place for take outs because the food came out promptly

Very helpful staff and quick service, perfectly cooked chicken satay. We enjoyed Panang curry beef and pad thai one of my all-time favorite menus. This place offers outstanding meals. I will definitely keep visiting. Cheers!

This is our go-to Thai takeout! When we have guests in from out of town, this is THE place we get food from. I've even got my coworkers ordering from here now. The Tofu Satay and Pumpkin Curry are so nummy. The cucumber salad is always fresh. Delivery is quick and the people who run the place are super nice.
