One evening we had Thai food. I had been meaning to try a place I'd heard very good things about: Tawan's Thai Food (no website, 4403 Geary Blvd between 8th Ave & 9th Ave).
Tawan is the owner's son. He was a little kid when they opened the place and his drawings adorn the walls and the menu. While he gets pushed front-and-center, his mom is the real star here. My mom commented that with her cheery demeanor and pleasant voice, how could anyone ever possibly get upset with her? She's just constantly smiling while taking our orders.
We had a meal of excellent satay with a sweet peanut sauce. Then, we had a panang curry filled with veggies and chicken that was the right balance of sweet and spicy (we went medium). We also had a portion of sauteed pork in a sweet/sour/spicy sauce that came with fruit and vegetables.
You can order sodas or the ubiquitous Thai iced tea, or go next door and pick up some beer as they allow you to BYO.
For dessert, you can't go wrong with the FBI: fried banana with coconut ice cream.
Excellent, well-priced place that deserves multiple repeat visits.
