Hed11 in San Francisco’s Japantown is an intimate, design-forward Thai fine-dining restaurant located inside the Kimpton Hotel Enso, built around an 8- or 11-course tasting menu that reimagines regional Thai flavors through a modern, seasonal lens. Led by chef Piriya “Saint” Boonprasarn, whose background includes time at Bangkok’s Michelin-starred Saawaan, the kitchen sends out a progression of artfully plated small courses—think Thai-style oysters with house Thai whisky, sea crab in red curry with grilled sticky rice, and Hokkaido scallops in khao soi curry—showcasing bright acidity, layered spice, and coastal Southern Thai influences. The sleek room combines counter seating and minimalist wood-and-stone décor, creating a polished yet warm setting that feels ideal for date nights, special occasions, and serious tasting-menu lovers looking for one of the city’s most distinctive Thai experiences.
