It’s a simple place with very friendly service and really good food that is hot and made fresh to order. Both times I’ve been here I haven’t had anything that wasn’t absolutely delicious. Everything is just so good. I love their hot sauce (Sambal) and their roti with curry is the best I’ve had.
Amazing food!
I had Laksa soup and it was like heaven for this chili foggy day of San Francisco!
Large portion, great price!
Visit, I’m sure you gonna LOVE IT and you’ll be very full!
Hugs!

Laksa soup delicious. Singapore curry noodles yummy. Salmon needed a little more dressing on top and was just a little bit overcooked. But we were very happy and will be back.
Indoor dining 4/1/2021. 10 years ago, this place used to be packed with wait times up to an hour. Tonight it was completely empty. I was the only customer eating inside. I had the Martabak (meat stuff pancakes) $10 and the Singaporean curry noodles $10. The pancakes were a little dry. It came with a curry dipping sauce so it made it less dry. The Singaporean curry noodles were delicious. I'm accustomed to the traditional dry stir-fried version. This is good saucy version. I had them replaced the clear noodles to egg noodles. The curry had a good texture with hints of coconut juice. There were generous portions of curry, chicken, mushrooms and noodles. Great job everyone at Lime Tree!
Affordable, good portion food. Their beef rendang combo was delicious and came with a drink and fruits.
We also got a roti pratha and it was super buttery and delicious.
The food came fairly quickly, but we had a hard time figuring out what ingredients were in the food. I think there was a little confusion because the roti was not made in house.
A neat place! Small and hidden but with a unique and tasty menu. The chicken and noodles were as delicious as you'd expect, and the spiciness was satisfying. I didn't poke around their whole menu but the other entries looked equally appetizing.
There are plenty of other stores around the area for desserts and other snacks as well if you're stopping through after some time at the park or at the beach.
The first restaurant on Irving street. It's a nice cosy place with wheelchair access. The decor is simple.
Had the martabak and a Thai iced tea. The Thai iced tea was topped with coconut milk. Brilliant.
The owner recognized I might like spice and served me this chilli tomato side with shrimp paste along with the regular dipping. I forget the name, but do ask about it. It's not clearly mentioned on the menu.
Portions are generous. I barely managed to finish the item.
Their flaky roti is similar to a flaky bread from South India, so I really like ordering it as it's the closest place serving something like it.
In short, a nice place to have South East malay-thai dishes. And if you like spice, you simply need to ask.
This place has become one of my most favorite authentic south eastern Asian restaurant in SF. It's not just the food that you can enjoy but my experience sitting here with comfortable feeling like I'm in my own home. The atmosphere is not overwhelming. Ming the owner is a super cool guy he even offer free fruit plate to us after meal 🍴. What more to say. This is a paradise on earth.

We came back and the food and service are still good.
Chicken satay and beef rendang were so tender and flavourful.
Very local, casual restaurant. I went here with two friends on a Saturday, and we were the only ones there. I got the Mie Tek-Tek, and my friends got the shrimp noodles and tofu. The Mie Tek-Tek (mild) didn’t have much flavor, but my friends dishes looked pretty good. I liked the vibe and service, although about half of their menu is not available. Affordable for a big quantity of food.
Standouts: Thai ice tea, roti, roti and ROTI. That curry sauce on the side of the roti was the highlight. It was an appetizer so it came first and everything else that followed paled in comparison. The other dishes were pretty decent too. The ice tea was just refreshing and flavorful.
Tried their pepe’s salmon for the first time. Banana leaf wrapping with burnt makes me feel I’m in a remote village in Malaysia. The fish was fresh and aromatic. The acidity from the lime adds another layer of flavor. I wish the plating has more finesse. I also with they do something special to the rice rather than service a bowl of plain white rice with the fish.
Always a pleasure to eat here. Excellent food, very reasonable price, amazing staff. Ask for the hot sauce.
This place is superb. A friend and I wandered around and planned to have lunch after a visit to the golden gate park. We picked up this unobtrusive place because we wanted to try some southeast Asian food. That turned out to be a fabulous decision. The restaurant is small in size, half-underground, not looking fancy at all, few customers when we walked in, so tbh we did not have high expectations at the beginning. However, our world views were just changed after we took a first bite of the food. I ordered a shrimp (Indonesischen?or Singaporean?) fried rice kind of thing. It was super delicious(though it looks nothing special) and I would say it’s the most delicious food I had ever had in a restaurant. Both of us were just amazed and we discussed the food during and even after the meal. Big size, humble look, extremely tasty. Hidden gem obviously. I will definitely come back again and bring more friends!
Menu much more limited than the one in the Richmond but just as tasty. As others have mentioned the curry sauce for dipping is too thin so can’t taste the flavor well. Singapore curry noodle portion wasn’t as big as I hoped but was tasty. Beef rendang came with side of rice which was probably on the house since we didn’t order it separately, so thanks for the extra treat, it is appreciated and earned the extra star!
A family owned place where the roti is PERFECTLY fried, crispy on the outside and steamy flaky layers on the inside. A must try if you like carbs. Their laksa is also very good, it's spicy, and tiny bit sweet.
Wonderful laksa. I was in Singapore for six weeks many years ago and still consider it the best food in the world, so finding a shop with a very nice laksa made my day.

Food still great. Im glad that they survived the pandemic turmoil when many restaurants are out of business in SF.
We ordered Crab saus Padang (again!!), fried rice, Martabak, and also Kwee tiauw. Yumyumm….
