San Francisco Restaurant Guide

I'm not sure where your other reviewer dined, but after numerous visits my wife, oru kids, their friends and many of our friends have had consistently terrific times at Grand Pu Bah. It can be a bit noisy during Happy Hour period, but the menu is creative, the wine list is very interesting and well suited to the menu items, there are constantly new dishes to try and the serving staff is friendly and very attentive. An absolute 4 star experience. Don't miss this one.

Well the place is boom (loud noisy overburdened during a few minutes of lunch, and then often a crypt during other times, even prime weekend dinner). When it is slow it doesn't mean the service gets better -- the wait times are painful. The food offers standard Thai at jacked up prices, and ill-conceived, ill-executed fusion dishes at even higher prices. A purported emphasis on seafood is torpedoed by use of largely standard frozen import. A specialty of whole crab offered up a non-fresh specimen, probably due to the few customers. Wine list is undistinguished, the cocktails can be good depending on hit or miss who is bartending. No reason to make a trip there, but if you are trapped in the area and have money to waste...
