Reviews for Saap Ver Damn Good! Thai street food in San Francisco, CA

One of the best Thai places I've been to in SF! All the dishes hit really well and had a nice spicy kick even though we ordered... the mild. We got the green curry, the crispy basil pork belly, crispy rice sausage salad, and squid with egg yolk. All of themhella slapped. I've also never seen some of these dishes at other Thai places before so I was excited to try them. My girlfriendalso recommends the crispy chicken fried rice. The vibe is super casual. We went on a Saturday night and they had disco globelights like it was a club lol. Fast service! DEF GOOOO! Read more

Very authentic Thai food. Make sure you ask the servers from what region of Thailand you want the food taste like , and most of... the time (if they know how) they will do it. I would say if you into papaya salad , that's the spot. Read more

I've been coming to Snap Ver since they opened but it is continuing to decline since a very good opening few years. I won't post... a review based on 1 visit as everyone can have a bad day. My 1 star rating is after 3 visits in the past 6 weeks. Each time therice arrived at the table cold and had to be returned to the kitchen. The chicken laab was flavorless and adorned with only afew mint leaves. The biggest offender was the chicken satay- 3 pieces of chicken, 1" wide for $12.95 and DRY !!! Overpriced andinedible. Management needs to get these problems fixed soon and restore what once was a very good restaurant. Read more

Very hip looking restaurant. Reminded me of my time in Thailand. The food is pretty good but leans a bit on the sweeter side. ... That being said, solid restaurant and quite authentic. The pad thai and basil chicken were awesome. The service was great. Wish we were a bigger group so we could try a few more items. Read more

Good food but a little bit too salty in some dishes in my opinion. Good atmosphere. I like the decorations filled with the... famous old films even my parents were surprised and praised them. I really liked the little metal cup , it made the feeling ofbeing in Thailand. Since I'm not from SF. I'm not so sure what SF was. I asked the waiter which he kindly explained to me.However, my friend who was a local later explained that what he said was not entirely true. So, I wasn't sure if he withheld theinformation thinking we were all tourists. In general, I don't like the fact that being charged 'SF mandate' , I understand ifwanting to improve employees' health benefits and so on, but that shouldn't be from customers' expenses. Employer should be theone taken care of it instead. Also, mine was charged 3%, it seemed to me that this percentage is a random made up number basedon one's opinion. why percentage, what it is being based on, if I ordered more food, then I would have to pay more?. Moreover,the SF mandate was added along food orders. Taxes and tips are calculated afterward. Again, this should come from the employernot customer Read more

Good food but poor customer service. This is the second time we have gone to Saap Ver after the first time experience was... terrible, and we need to give them a chance. The customer service was bad as we expected. Their voice sounds rude, and theyseem like they do not want to give us service. We didn’t know that the kitchen would be closed from 2.30-5 PM because no oneinformed us. Then we would like to order a dessert at around 2.40 PM. The woman in the kitchen yelled out loud that did not youknow that our kitchen closed at 2.30 PM. I think that they did not know that we understood her language, and we heard it prettyclear that they talked about us. I did not know that the kitchen lady wanted to yell at the server who took an order or yell atus. However, we felt upset about their services. Their food was good but a bit too sweet for everything.

Visited Saap Ver with a few friends, we didn’t make reservations in advance so had to wait 10ish mins to be seated. Staff was... friendly, service was fast. I got the green curry with tofu which was really delicious, loved the flavour - only downside wasthat the vegetables were cut too big (like big chunks). Other than that, good presentation was great, atmosphere was fun. Priceis $$-$$$. Definitely recommend! Read more

Really great Thai food in downtown! Fun, decorative interior, and plenty of options on their menu. We ordered the Saap Ver Fried... Rice (with crispy pork belly, green onion, red onion, mint, garlic, roasted rice powder, and Thai spice powder) and the Pad WoonSen Prawn (stir-fried silver/glass noodle, prawn, egg, baby corn, cabbage, tomatoes). Both were absolutely delicious! The glassnoodles were subtle in flavour, but at the same time, incredibly aromatic. The fried rice had a great mix of spice, sweetness,sour, and umami — We got the medium spice level, and if you can handle spice, it should be just the right amount. And ofcourse, you cannot go wrong with Thai Iced Tea! Read more
