Welcome

Since 2008, Basil Canteen has been serving bold Thai flavors in San Francisco’s SoMa district, nestled in the historic Jackson Brewery. Our loft-style space, with high ceilings and a communal table, is perfect for sharing vibrant dishes like savory steamed tapioca dumplings and our beloved Chiang Mai curry noodles (Khao Soi). Don’t forget to sip on our signature cocktail, the Basil Bliss.

Basil Canteen is the perfect spot to grab a quick lunch, enjoy dinner, or kick off your night. We’re just a short walk from popular nightlife spots like Oasis, DNA Lounge, SF Eagle Bar, Orpheum Theatre, Audio Nightclub, Butter, and Eve Nightclub & Lounge—making us the ultimate pre-party stop.
