Decades-old SF Thai restaurant closes original spot but teases a new future
Briefly

Khan Toke Thai House, one of the oldest Thai restaurants in San Francisco, has closed its original location in the Richmond District but intends to move in the future. Established in the 1970s, it was known for its traditional dishes and unique dining experience, where customers sat on pillows at low tables. The owners confirmed they chose not to renew their lease due to economic challenges and aim to downsize at the new location. The closure is seen as bittersweet, but the team expresses excitement for a new chapter in their culinary journey.
The restaurant was known for serving traditional cuisine such as moo gra tiam, or sliced pork in a sauce with garlic, black pepper and Thai spices, and neua saweuy, or pan-fried beef that is marinated in a spicy lime sauce.
Combined with today's economic challenges, we've realized this location is no longer the right fit for our future. However, this change allows us to refocus on serving you a wider variety of foods in a more efficient setting.
