“ M la phx, together preparing the dishes we know and love as were transported into a cherished small Thai village. Take a trip, if for even a few minutes, enjoy a homemade meal. ”
“ My husband and I live in Tucson and are visiting San Francisco for the weekend. We are avid Thai food lovers and since Old Weang Ping got good reviews, we decided to try it. Hands down, BEST thai food weve EVER had!! The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere. The owner was so nice and said he has owned the restaurant for over 40 years! Highly recommend stopping here for great thai food and an overall great restaurant experience! Chicken panang curry pictured ”
“ This place is so amazing! Food delicious! Everything we got was on point and flavorful!!! Service is nice, the guy Insee often who might be the owner is so sweet! And the place is absolutely amazing! Such a fun place to eat! ”
“ Eating inside is highly recommended. Loved the 60s 70s Thai music, the exterior and interior decor, the small family feel with the workers and family, the price range, the food presentation, and most importantly, the food and drinks. The Grilled Chicken with veggies and soup were really flavorful, and they have solid Thai coffee. Want to try the lychee iced tea next time. ”
“ Hesitant to review because this is my secret date location. The food is fresh, the vegetables crispy and not overcooked. The flavor is amazing and the owners are sweet and speak perfect English. Ive been eating here for 20 years and loved it Everytime plus the price is unbeatable. Note is CASH ONLY! If your looking to impress a date take them here. ”
“ Town classic! Real Thai food at its finest. Country home style cooking!! Barbarian soup, coconut milk soup, curry shrimp pancake... all fire. ”
“ Ordered to go phone, in person pick up. Satay chicken quality is amazing, with rich peanut sauce. Pad see ew and pineapple fried rice also cooked very well. Portion size reasonable. Pricing is reasonable. Update added video, and tried dine in. Khao Soi is rich in flavor and is recommended 55. Fried Whole Fish is well made , with lots of fruits on top 45. Interior design of restaurant is cute as it is remodeled from an old home. Free street parking is easy. ”
“ Ive lived in the area for almost 20 years and have eaten in and plenty of takeout, so Im not sure what people mean when they say new ownership. The fantastic couple and their daughter? run things and do s great job. The food has gotten better over the years, but be sure to order with a spicy level as it wont be as flavorful when mildnot spicy you shouldnt be eating Thai if you cant handle some heat. Eating in is a great experience as from when you approach to when you leave the atmosphere, setting, and service are all very Thai. We joked and laughed with the older male owner and happily ate everything served. Highly recommend for the atmosphere, food and service. ”
