Best Thai food AND unagi I have ever had. Period. And how often can you get thai food and unagi at the same place?

The place was empty, it took forever to get a menu and water. The service was super slow, I wasn’t in a hurry, but if no one is in the place why would it take so long. I had veggie spring rolls that were with a peanut sauce and mint that were delicious, and a thai iced tea, the noodle dish was pretty blah and flavorless. Overall it was a fifty fifty lunch, and at almost $ 20, I felt like I overpaid. I wouldn’t go back again.

I can be a bit of a Thai Food snob given that i grew up in Seattle with a wide selection of Thai restaurants but this was really good. I had Chicken Pad Thai, Duck Fried Rice, Sticky Rice, and a Thai Iced Tea. The Pad Thai was made right with good flavor and the right about of spice-I asked for 2 stars. The Duck fried rice was unique and flavorful. The atmosphere was comfortable. I liked the presentation of the food as well. Mood Thai has friendly staff and they aren’t outrageously expensive. I would recommend them for a quick bit to eat near the Wharf.

Wow. Our server was really good. She must have ESP because she already knew what she was bringing me before I sat down. For an appetizer I received a side of ‘Eye Rolls’. And that is as close to Sushi as they get. What I actually wanted was a Thai Iced Tea. When she rolled her eyes ahd shook her head I asked if there was a problem. Apparently yes because she had to make it herself. For the entrée, she gave me a serving of ‘Serious Attitude’ for ordering straight from the menu. Even asking for that was just too much effort for this girl to write on the ticket. Finally, for dessert, my friend got a huge helping of ‘Oh, I didn’t put your order in. That will be another fifteen minutes’. We actually didn’t even want to inquire after it’s whereabouts and risk her wrath. I realize this is right in the touristy section of Fisherman’s Wharf but there is no reason to be rude and provide bad service just because you can. Even though the food and prices were good I’ll take my chances and my business dodging the pigeon droppings and stand in line for crab in a paper cup next time. Oh yeah… they need to update the name to remove ‘Sushi’. There isn’t any. ‘Mood’ must be a hint that the servers(or one in particular) are always in a snit. But then again maybe she was exeriencing just a really bad day. No.Thank.You.Not.Again!

I love this place and go here often as a creature of habit. The restaurant is clean, affordable, has a friendly staff and is near my house. I usually have a curry but on this most recent visit, I was craving a salad– to start. I ordered the steak salad and it was out of this world! It was substantial enough that I didn’t need a main course.(But I did have the lovely satay appetizer.) I don’t know that it’s particularly a Thai dish(the salad). Seems kind of western but I will never go there again without ordering it.

I guess ordering Japanese food from a Thai restaurant is not the best idea… but it works if you need a sushi place that delivers and you’re stuck in the financial district. The sushi and fish quality was pretty average. The Thai food was definitely a little better. My seafood curry was great. If for some reason you have a random simultaneous craving for sushi and peanut sauce or some other Japanese and Thai influence then this is the only place you can get both at the same time.

Came here for a quick lunch with a co-worker who was having an intense Thai craving. The place was nearly empty, thus we were seated and served quickly. Besides the empty seats, the place looked barren and slightly unwelcoming. Our waiter was friendly, but our conversation mimicked that of the drive-thru scene from«Dude, Where’s my Car.» After each thing I would say, he would respond, «and thennnn.» I couldn’t stop laughing, even when he told me ten minutes after ordering that they ran out of iced tea. Flavorful, but not memorable, was the yellow curry chicken dish. It tasted just like yellow curry chicken from any other Thai establishment. The little side salad was sad. Just a mini pile of sliced iceberg lettuce with a dab of rice vinegar. The price was right, however, at only $ 8.95. Because of the reasonable priced lunch menu, I will return and take a chance on a different dish… and thennnnnnnnnn hope for the best!

Wow… what has happened to this place? They seen to have treated the sushi portion of their business like an ugly step child. They’ve got some teenager making sushi, and he has NO idea what he’s doing. The place is empty every time I go here. I think its a sign of what’s to come at this spot. The sushi was really awful.

Service was good. Checked in on Unilocal & got the free Thai ice tea. Sweet! Food was pretty good. I ordered the Pad See Ew with pork to share with my mom. The pork was too not tender at all. rough.

Came here to get take-out so we can grab seats for the fleet week air showing. I wanted sushi but they don’t serve them till 5pm. LAME! I wanted to eat healthy so I ordered a Spring Roll– There was a total of two spring rolls with fried egg inside. They were each cut in half and placed onto a piece of foil in the clear take out box along with a little plastic container of sauce. First off the sauce is not peanut sauce and they didn’t do a very good job wrapping the rolls as all of them fell apart! Ceasar Salad– After the whole, «no sushi till 5», I had to decide what to get. My friend was like get a salad. I was like«wtf? they have salad here?» Look down and theres a ceasar salad. So I order with no chicken. She gave me chicken! No wonder it was so much more expensive than I expected. It was curry chicken too! The salad was pretty much just lettuce, a bit of dressing, and these pieces of fake bacon, or what I presume is fake bacon. I didn’t finish my salad. Long journey to the bathroom. Looks shady but once you push the door with a cartoon of a female on it you enter into a fairly nice bathroom.

I’m here on a business trip and part of traveling in this economy is keeping costs down. The best way to do this is to have some normal dinner nights and some cheap ones. This is a good spot for a cheap night. For $ 20, you’ll have no trouble filling yourself up on decent, quick food in touristy and pricey Fisherman’s Wharf. I got the spring rolls and the Mee Goreng and couldn’t have been happier. The décor is nothing to get excited about but that’s okay, I was here to fill up on affordable food and I had no problem doing it. If I’m staying in this part of town again and I’m looking for a cheap meal, I’ll be back.

service here was way better than the food I got a couple of appetizers: corn fritters that had more batter than corn and it just didnt taste right. it was like a corn donut with real corn kernals. not good. i also got the chicken satay with peanut sauce. the peanut sauce wasn’t as good as other places. it was a bit sweet and not spicy at all. it was just fine the service was nice though. they were kind and tried to make it a good time grade: C for the food. A– for the service

Came here for lunch! An unexpected find amidst the places offering clam chowder and seafood. Mood Thai proudly had their Unilocal sticker on the window and I knew I would be in good hands. They do have both sushi and Thai food, but since the workers were not Japanese, I thought it best to go with the Thai choice. I dunno, that’s just my rationale. Had the pad see ew($ 8); it is one of my favorite comfort Thai foods. I have had wider rice noodles before(which I prefer), but it was still good: broccoli, egg and a meat of your choice with a sweet sauce. One of the employees did some abstract street paintings of Fisherman’s Wharf and they hang throughout the restaurant. Nice touch. Walking towards the restrooms, I noticed they have a huuuuge room in the back for larger groups. There was a confusing sign in the ladies, however. It said: «We are experiencing problems with our toilet. Please ask walter if there is a problem. Please do not flush anything down the toilet.» It cracked me up because a) my dad’s name was Walter and b) how can you do your business if you can’t flush anything down the toilet?

The first time here, I had the volcano chicken — not something I would normally order, but it was ordered on my behalf, so I shut up about it [and actually, it wasn’t bad, but still, not something I would usually order]. More recently, I’ve had the chicken satay w peanut sauce as an app — nicely done. I tried to have the Kaeng Keaw Warn(don’t ask me what that is, I was throwing caution to the wind when I ordered and wondering what I would end up w), but somebody gobbled it up before I could get my hands on it. I think I saw briefly that it had an interesting greenish color to it.

I love Thai food but this place lacks of flavor! They had duck lumpia which was good cause you can actually taste the duck but, lumpia is Filipino and it was more like a fried spring roll. Service was good. Floor to ceiling to bathroom was super sticky.

Ordered take out from here last night as they were closing. They prepared the food very fast so I was a little weary. Also, my friend and I have been closing down restaurants for the past week. i.e. We have been the last people to order from numerous places, which can be worrisome. I used to work at a restaurant, so I know how much it sucks to get an order in the last ten minutes of the night. Fortunately, we have been quite lucky with each experience. Mood was no exception. I ordered the pork loin, which was absolutely delicious. It looked as if it may have been undercooked, but I think that was just the marinate they used for the loin. It was very tender and flavorful. Throw a little hot sauce on top, and you are good to go. My friend had the tofu pad thai. I didnt try it, but he said it was really good(although he was a little overzealous with the hot sauce). for $ 9 and $ 10 I think it was a good deal for the portion size. I would definitely go back, if the Mood strikes.

My family and I went here tonight because it was next to our hotel and we were tired of $ 30 cab rides all over town. The place was completely empty and that caused us some concern. Also disconcerting was the décor/ambiance and odd choice of music. We decided to stay and in the end we were quite satisfied. The food was above average and the prices were quite reasonable. We had the Phad Thai and Phad Se Yu. The food was served hot and fresh and the portions were a bit larger than average; especially considering the very affordable $ 8 price per entrée. The service was efficient and friendly. To sum up, this is not a place I would take a hot date; but I would recommend it for the good, fresh food.

The food was alright. 3 of us had: SF94133 roll(had soft shell crab, lobster, avocado, topiko) duck noodle soup fried rice and chow fun Food didn’t do a whole lot for me. For 3 of us it was about 52 incl tax, which wasn’t too bad. Overall, service was good though.

Is this cavernous restaurant a thai place with a sushi complex? Or a sushi house with a hidden thai talent? I couldn’t decide, and the prices were reasonable enough, so I tried a bit of both. The verdict? Both were done well(chicken satay skewers and red snapper sushi), but portions were small. I can’t complain when prices were low to begin with. A solid if unmemorable spot.

Um, kinda gross. I’ve gotten delivery which was actually a 3 star experience, but dining in was not awesome. We ordered a chicken dish that is served on fire, how could this not be awesome? Well, I’ll tell you. It tasted like lighter fluid. oh and salt. That’s it. Satay was lackluster and the low carb pad thai(yes, I was dining with two very fine gay gentlemen) was beyond bland. Oh yes and there was a very large pebble in it. You heard me: A rock. I think the Thai Iced Tea my friend ordered was pretty yummy, but as the other of my dining companions referred to it as «fat ass in a glass» I did not partake. Ben Laz, thanks for the coupon! We shoulda known that a place boasting both thai and sushi on the wharf was bound to be a little crazy. Since Citizen Thai and the Monkey in North Beach is now gone, I’d recco Dupont Thai on Grant, or an Osha Thai over this any day. I give two stars since the staff was pleasant, but not especially fast for a pretty empty restaurant.
