Hawking Bird
Thai
James Syhabout of Commis runs this casual Thai-inflected counter spot in Temescal, where the menu swings between a spicy chicken sandwich lacquered in Thai chile oil and garlic noodles that somehow taste like a Bay Area institution. The cooking splits the difference between street food and comfort food, and it does so without making a big deal about it. Cash-friendly prices, a busy room, and nothing on the menu that needs a long explanation.

San Francisco Chronicle -
Tater tots
“It’s a place where you can munch on green beans tossed with curry paste and bacon ($9.50) or superbly crisp tater tots ($7.50).”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Thai iced tea
“Even the Thai iced tea ($5), made better with coconut milk (50 cents), is exceptional.”
