Koh Samui & The Monkey is a hip Thai restaurant in SOMA that's decor balances modern American with ancient Siam. The dining room is set in a former warehouse with large industrial windows throughout the entire space. The tranquil setting is carefully watched over by a large, antique statue of Buddha. The distinctive menu features classic Thai food, as well as some unique dishes like pumpkin curry and is well complemented by a handpicked beer, wine and sake list. Recently well rated by Michael Bauer of the San Francisco Chronicle, this charming restaurant has been feasted in numerous media articles and TV shows.
Thailand has never been conquered by another country; therefore, Thai food and Thai eating habits have developed quite uniquely and have not been heavily influenced by foreign cultures.
