Oh Dirty Trix, with your whiskey breath and red lipstick, how you hold a special place in my heart. That was my not so clever attempt at conveying Dirty Trix as an ever so classy lady. Anyhow, this place is great. What you should notice initially is the great group

King of Thai Noodle is, perhaps, the best bang for your buck when it comes to Thai food in San Francisco.  King of Thai is a tiny hole in the wall located on Clement Street in the Inner Richmond.  The giant purple awning is tough to miss, though. Let’s begin
