Adding Some Healthy Spice to Nob Hill
I know, I know… I haven’t posted in ages. How could I leave the city of San Francisco alone for so long, you must be wondering, and it’s true; I’ve been away MUCH too long. The health stuff mentioned in my last few posts has been keeping me away, but I’m hoping to be back in full force this New Year, with better and better haunts for everyone to try.
A place I’ve recently discovered will definitely be added to this list, I’m sure. I’ve gone on a gluten and dairy-free diet as of late, and this is one of the places that has options galore for a high-maintenance gal like me. Thai Spice, located on Polk Street in between
Clay and Washington serves up some of, if not the, best Thai I’ve had in the City. With rice noodles and coconut milk being their staple ingredients, Thai has fast become one of the food options that I can still go out and eat with naught a worry. Not only is their establishment located in the fun and hip location of Nob Hill, but everything from the tables to the décor to the amazing dishes you are served are presented like, well, presents. Wonderful ambiance and feel then leads you in to some downright amazing Thai food. Not only do they have the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten, but their other dishes are equally as remarkable and leave you wanting to try everything on the menu. Dishes to definitely check out – the Pumpkin Curry with tofu or chicken and the Spinach Rolls appetizer. Both are simply incredible, and I have no doubt from the ooh’s and ah’s from friends that the other dishes leave nothing to be desired – except maybe a second helping (portions aren’t small though, so you really won’t even have to worry about that). There are plenty of wines, beers, teas, and Thai teas to pair with these dishes, as well, which make for a fun outing anytime.
Service is easy and relaxed, where they know what is in their food and also can suggest favorites. It’s not a pretentious, overly expensive place though looks swanky from all aspects. I don’t know how they do it, but that God they do. It’s rare to find an affordable, delicious, and all around relaxing spot in such a posh neighborhood, but Thai Spice is breaking the mold and doing it night after night. Definitely check out this healthy and delicious spot that will keep you craving it long after you leave.
