Thai

Cha Am Express
$. Cheap Thai lunch to go. The buffet-served food is often superb, particularly specials. Just make sure you have a place to eat it. Downtown, 307 Kearny, (415/956-8241). (P.A.)
Malai Thai
$$. Some of the best-flavored Thai (with Laotian influences?) food in the city, in a pleasant but unassuming room. Mission, 3189 16th St, (415/626-8528). (P.A.)
Osha Thai Noodle House
$$. This cafeteria-esque restaurant has good food for cheap, and they're not afraid to make it spicy. Open until 1am on weekdays and 3am Friday-Saturday. Late-hours clients are mostly students, foreigners. Downtown, 696 Geary. (415/673-2368). (P.A.)
Suriya
$. This largely undiscovered Thai joint's food is above par, with a few super coups. The seasonal pumpkin red curry is stellar. The decor is simultaneously homey and classy. Mission, 1432 Valencia. (415/824-6655). (P.A.)
Tasana
$$. Lively Thai dishes prepared with care and fresh herbs. Try porpia savoey (mushrooms, chicken, onion, potato, corn, carrot and glass noodles wrapped in a thin pancake and deep fried) or tom kah gai (chicken in coconut milk soup with lemon juice, chile, mushroom and galangal). 339 Taraval St. (664-7603). Dinner Tu-Su. Beer and wine. (H.H.)
Thanya & Salee
$$. Sunny and airy, decorated with orchids and tropical fish tanks, Thanya & Salee serves well-seasoned, flavorful dishes. The curry queen and Phad Thai dishes are highly recommended. 1469 18th Street in Potrero Hill (415/647-6469). (P.A.)
