"When you visit, I highly recommend trying their special Thai dishes. The spicy catfish with Thai eggplant is exceptional; the fried catfish absorbs the spicy chili sauce beautifully, and the round Thai eggplants add a nice crunch, enhancing the dish's overall texture. Another standout is the Rad Nah, a flavorful stir-fried flat noodle dish that's perfect for soothing your palate after indulging in spicier options. It's a great option if you're dining alone since it offers a satisfying and hearty meal. Don’t miss their Thai papaya salad, which is crunchy and has a delightful balance of tangy, sweet, and sour flavors, thanks to their skillful use of fish sauce seasoning. I also recommend the braised pork leg over rice; it comes with Chinese broccoli, a marinated egg, and a side of spicy fish sauce, making it an excellent one-plate meal if you’re looking to keep your order simple. Their chicken wing appetizers are fantastic as well—plump and juicy, they’re definitely worth trying. The prices are reasonable, and the food is genuinely flavorful and authentic. Just keep in mind that rice typically comes separately with most orders, and you can request chopsticks if you need them. Service is consistently friendly and the staff are courteous, creating a pleasant dining experience. The space itself is a bit limited, so I recommend keeping your group size to around four people; any more and it can feel quite cramped. If you have the chance, check out the upstairs area, which features a Thai hot pot restaurant that offers a variety of unique and flavorful Thai soups. I believe both venues are owned by the same proprietor. As for parking, the restaurant is situated on a bustling street. Metered street parking is available, and there are also free spots around the block, but it can be a challenge to find a space during dinner hours. If you manage to snag a spot, consider yourself lucky!"

"Quite a unique and thoroughly charming little neighborhood grocery store with a genuine legitimate deli, real fine fresh meats, awesome fresh produce and exceptionally clean inside given the notoriety of the hood south easterly of the location.Also they actually haves a cache of hagen daas ice cream in their freezer that isn 't freezer burned and rarely ever sold totally out.We just picked up some delectable Chicken Curry Salad from their deli cooler chest of leftovers packed to go. And it was mostly delicious, albeit a tad heavy with diced apples. Perhaps use less apples, and try pear meat instead, some time?This is a very good place for delicious food and snacks, while doing your laundry across the intersection at Diamond Laundry. Their general pricing is to be expected given their very high quality of services, courteous staff, gourmet merchandise, and location (being the only store named Le Beau in San Francisco).We can 't help but like to think it was named for a character in Hogan 's Heros, whom was quite a Chef . Since there are so many references in and around the city related to popular culture media and former trends.Like Enterprise Street in the Mission hood (for the Trek fiends).We just moved into an SRO we can afford (albeit barely) after being homeless in the city. Our building is nearest Market and Eddy so yah, that part of that neighborhood ."
