"Hope to see you at Amphawa Thai Noodle House. I will be happy to make you lunch and dinner at our restaurant with perfect experience"
- Kob Varaphol, Chef
Top Thai in the Bay
"Humble, homestyle cooking prevails at this neighborhood mainstay.
In 2011, Kob Varaphol opened Amphawa in the Richmond District, a cozy spot with a huge menu of noodles and hard-to-find specialities. Kao ka moo, a slow-braised pork-leg stew and favorite of Thai street vendors, is infused with the aromas of cinnamon, star anise, coriander and soy sauce and is served with tart pickled mustard greens on the side. The basic version comes with rice, but it's also fantastic in noodle soup form, when you can really breathe in the fragrance of the spices. Angel wings, chicken wings fried to a crisp and tossed in a sticky and spicy chile-garlic sauce, are also a crowd-pleaser."'
