Pretty decent, but expensive Thai food. Very pretty and modern interior. My party came on a Sunday afternoon and there was only one waitress, so the service was very slow. The Thai Ice Tea is kind of watered down here. I wouldn't recommend it for $6. I ordered the Khao Soi and it was pretty good. They give A LOT of broth, which is rich in curry and coconut milk. Very sweet. There's big cuts of tender chicken (dark meat) at the bottom of the bowl. I wish that they gave more egg noodles though. It was difficult to finish the rich broth with the lack of noodles.

Decided to try this place because they offer a ton of gluten free options and my mom has a gluten allergy so this was perfect to satisfy the Thai cravings. Their curry is 10/10 but I love their pad Thai and crab fried rice! Their mango sticky rice is some of the best l've had as well. I feel like this place doesn't get talked about enough. Highly recommend!

My friends and I are celebrating the graduation of one of our friends. We booked a dinner reservation at this little gem restaurant located near Fillmore and Japantown area. First off, the place is super cute with seasonal flowers decorated. It’s very instagram friendly. The space is airy and didn’t feel crowded despite its full capacity. Secondly, all the food is very tasty and delicious. I am from Thailand and I feel like this place serve the food at the right balance of spice that everyone could enjoyed and not overly spicy so you couldn’t really taste anything. Moreover the price is very reason and the people are very friendly. I will definitely be back to try more dishes. Great jobs Sweetlime. I highly recommended.

hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance of the space felt warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a family outing. Parking was a breeze, which is a huge plus in my book. Now, onto the star of the show—the food. Let me just say, the fish is absolutely phenomenal. I’ve never been one to lick a plate, but this time, I couldn’t help myself. The flavors were out of this world, perfectly balanced, and left me craving more with every bite. Sweet Thai has officially redefined my expectations for great food. I would pair it with a nice wine as well, I just picked the first one on the list and it was great. Also the desert is a must as well, not heavy at all. If you love delicious meals that are crafted with care, this is the place to go. I took my entire family, and everyone was raving about their dishes hahaha. We’re already planning to come back next week—it’s that good. Highly, highly recommend!

Absolutely loved Thai food at at Sweet Lime Thai in Lower Pac Heights! I came here with some friends and we had a blast trying out the different meat and seafood dishes. My favorite was definitely that Thai beef curry! And the mango sticky rice for dessert was the perfect ending to that delicious meal. There was even a live guitarist playing while we were there. Plus a nice green backdrop with neon lights. Good vibes all around. You gotta check it out!
