About

Steam rises off plates of modern Thai classics inside SOMA's historic Jackson Brewery. Basil Canteen attracts a mixed LGBTQ+ and straight crowd, like its sister spot Basil Thai Restaurant and Bar nearby. The menu offers fresh spins on traditional dishes, and there's a full cocktail bar to match.

It's open for lunch and dinner with a midday break, and Saturdays are dinner-only. Regulars know the Pad Thai is a standout. You'll find a young, energetic vibe any evening.

“Best Pad Thai I've ever had”

I really enjoy Thai cuisine. After trying this place, it's the only Thai spot I'll go to. The Pad Thai is excellent. I highly suggest it.
