I struggled between 3 and four stars, but the service, price, and flavors were enough to bring it up a star.
With Marnee Thai down the block, Chabaa offers unique flavors and a wider menu of Thai and other Asian-inspired foods. However, two of our plates came out partially cold, even though the taste was phenomenal. Would recommend the noodle dishes, as the a la carte plates may have some questionably cooked meats.
Pricing is food for lunch, and space was plentiful. Parking can be difficult on Irving, but driving two blocks above or below should net you a spot.

I have been coming here for over 10 years and they are consistently delicious. Their noodles are my favorite, and the chicken noodle soup is my go-to when I'm feeling under the weather. The lunch specials are a great deal: 7.95, 8.95 or 9:95 for salad, appetizer, soup, and a main dish. Lunch specials until 2pm, they close at 3pm and reopen at 5pm. Happy hour from 5-8 with $2.50 beers and a good variety of appetizers and small plates. Not all the food is five star, but what I get always satisfies.

Happy hour menu is a must try!

I like this place. A less popular and crowded spot compared to Marnee down the street. It's kind of a hidden gem in that regard. Pickup is a good option here, prices are very reasonable. I like the Pad Thai or fried rice. All super good.

Great place to go when sick. Arrive between 6pm and 8pm for free parking and happy hour menu. I got hot ginger tea for $2.50 and seafood soup for $5. Excellent value and everything tasted supurb.

It's not the best Thai in the city, but it's solid on food and good service! We were trying to go to Underdogs on a Friday night, but that place was packed, so we took our talents to Chabaa and were not disappointed! If you like Thai and you're in the neighborhood, try it out!

My go-to in SF for cheap Thai food! Service is quick and the restaurant is small but great food for a great price. I always take people here and most of the time I've been lucky to not stand in line. Friends have loved it and I'll keep coming back!

Service here is amazing. Happy hour everyday from 5-8, which includes food specials. Some of my favorite panang curry and coconut rice in San Francisco.

Very often the choice if Marnee Thai is packed. Which is not to say their food isn't excellent. Atmosphere could use some work, but they aren't burdened by the long queues. You can expect the experience to be much more casual than the former.

Quaint and cozy spot with an incredibly expansive menu. Service was friendly, helpful and quick. The roti is spectacular, and panaeng unparalleled. The portions aren't the biggest, but are perfectly sized to leave room for one of their many tasty desserts!

They are very fast. I really like how they decorate the straw wrappers on your drinks. The Thai Tea is pretty good. The food is delicious. The price isn't too shabby.

I go here instead of the more popular Marnee Thai down the street. The food is just as good and it's open much later. Also, you're not crammed close enough to be sitting on a stranger's lap like at Marnee Thai.

This place is like any other typical thai restaurant but I tend to come here more often because it has more of a nice Thai restuarant style feel to it. Also it's right next to Teaway so that's awesome! My favorite here is pad see ew and roast duck fried rice. Also one thing I like about this place is that they give you more peanuts you can add to your dishes if you'd like. I've never seen any other Thai restaurant give you that option!

This place is really great. They have a lunch set for less than 10 dollars that is way more food than I expected. The Pad Kee Mao and Tom Kha soup was delicious. Service was friendly and quick.
