The Tenderloin is the perfect place if you want a hidden gem. If you live there, you know that on nearly every block there’s a joint that you consider your own, and if you’re visiting for the nightlife, you’re looking for a place to start or end your night. What better way to find some peace in tumble than a place called Zen? From noodles to Thai pork sausage, Zen Yai Thai has the spice of life you’re looking for.

Zen Yai Thai is famous for its amazing soups, including the classic Tom Yum, but they don’t stop there. Patrons love the dragon bowl noodles, with its thick stock, meatballs, onions, cilantro, peanuts, and steak. Classics like red curry, rama chicken, and thai fried rice are the basis for a menu that takes familiar Thai and gives it their own spin. Specials like the Snapper Choo-Chee or the Crazy Sea remind you that San Francisco and Thailand share an ocean.

Favorites like the Thai fish cakes blend seamlessly with the ever-changing fusion of flavors that reflect the exciting diversity of Thai cuisine and the eclectic neighborhood vibes surrounding it. For amazing Thai done right, let Waiter.com bring Zen Yai right to your door.
