Thai Street Food in SoMa, San Francisco

Bold Bangkok flavors—perfect for lunch, dinner, or a bite before a night out

Basil Canteen brings the bold flavors and energy of Bangkok to SoMa. Our menu features rich Khao Soi, stir-fried Basil Chicken, classic Pad Thai, refreshing Thai-inspired cocktails, and Sakoo Sai Moo — steamed tapioca dumplings filled with savory pork and roasted peanuts, a traditional Thai street-food snack rarely seen outside Thailand.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch, dinner, or a bite before a night out, 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 Basil Canteen the ultimate pre-party stop.
