Chili Cha Cha 2

The food and service here are great. It's a good value too! Here's a pic of the Spicy Basil plus Potsticker lunch combo for $17 (also a small salad). I also like the Larb Chicken, and the Spicy Fried or Crab Fried rice dishes.

Yummy food, fast service, and polite friendly staff. Ordered Spicy Thai noodles with beef and green chili with rice!! it was tasty and spicy 😋🍝 I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place.

Reminds me of salad king in Toronto (except you can't choose how many chilis are in your food). I had the $11 lunch combo which comes with salad or veggie coconut soup, an appetizer (I picked the vegetarian pot stickers) and an entree (panang Curry for me). Was super tasty and filling. Will try the spicy basil entree next time because that's what several people around me ordered.

One of my favorite spots around the mission, they are very friendly and the food is so delicious! I got the peanut noodles, it was yummy! You have to try sometimes if you like Thai food.

Granted I always take it to go, but any time it is cold out or I am feeling sick, this place is a must for me! I think they may have started charging extra for hot sauce but they usually give it to me for free. Great place.

Unassuming yet delicious Thai food. Super fast for pickup or dine in. Don’t sleep on the Crab Rangoon, it’s the best I’ve ever had!

AMAZING 10/10 SPECTACULAR!!!!! Truly one of the best pad kee maw I’ve ever had and the crab Rangoon was so delicious

Absolutely mind-blowing Thai food! Every dish is packed with bold authentic flavors that leave you craving more. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Service is good and very friendly staff. It’s a kind of restaurant that once you try, you will keep coming back. A must have if you are in mood for Thai food.

I visit this restaurant roughly 2-3 times a year. This trip, I was here for their lunch combo special for $16.95. I chose the house salad, pot stickers, and spicy basil chicken. I also had the Thai fish cake appetizer dish. The food was good, though i think grounded chicken would’ve tasted better than sliced chicken for my spicy basil dish (but that’s my personal opinion). Services was good, and the place is no frills but clean.

Well-priced, but unmemorable, Thai eatery in the heart of Mission. Though updated, the interior looks a bit retrograde from the 1990s. Low-ceilings, little natural light. Seafood Noodle Soup (with egg noodle) got the base elements right, but little beyond that. A good option when looking for a Thai option on 24th. Otherwise, may be better served at another TL option.

3/162024* I went for the Chili Cha Cha Spicy Pan Fried Noodle. It's packed with egg noodles, duck, veggies, fresh chili, and basil. It's got a real kick to it! 9/30/2023 This time, I tried the Chili Cha Cha Spicy Pan Fried Noodle, which consists of egg noodles stir-fried with duck, mixed vegetables, fresh chili, and basil leaves. It's quite spicy. Overall, it tastes good, but the strong flavor of white pepper tends to overshadow the other ingredients, which is a bit disappointing. We also ordered their mango sticky rice for dessert, and it was delicious! I would wholeheartedly recommend their Pad See-ew. 8/7/2023 Returning for the second time to Chili Cha Cha 2, I was determined to take on their ultimate spice challenge: "very hot." Just like in my previous review, I was ready for an unforgettable experience. Our choice for starters was the Dressed Prawn (6pcs) – fried marinated prawns enveloped in a delicate spring roll sheet, accompanied by a sensational Sriracha cream sauce. The cream sauce, in particular, was an absolute delight. This time around, I ordered the Thai Spicy Pan Fried Noodle (PAD KEE MAO). This dish, a symphony of flat rice noodles stir-fried with an array of ingredients including mushrooms, bamboo shoots, broccoli, bell pepper, onion, and basil, was a spicy adventure I couldn't resist. I must admit, the spice level had my forehead breaking a light sweat, but oh, was it worth it! The dish was an explosion of deliciousness, with flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. For the true spicy food enthusiasts, the "very hot" level is a must-try. It's a fiery punch that leaves a memorable impression. However, if you prefer occasional spice, I'd recommend the medium or hot level for a satisfying kick without setting your taste buds ablaze. 7/26/2023* We had the Pad See-Ew at Chili Cha Cha 2, a dish that features pan-fried flat rice noodles with Chinese broccoli, egg, and chicken, all seasoned with black soy sauce. We opted for the "hot" level of spiciness, and it truly left a remarkable impression on us! In terms of taste and flavor, this Pad See-Ew ranks among the top 3 I've ever had, even compared to the ones in Albany, CA, and New York. The seasoning was on point, perfectly balanced and satisfying. When the waitress brought the dish to our table, the sight of the hot steam escaping from it only added to our anticipation. (Please find the attached photo for reference!) The dish was incredibly flavorful and delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness – a feature that I personally enjoyed the most. In fact, my partner found it so spicy that he was sweating throughout the entire meal! He even commented that it was spicier than the Pad See-Ew he had in Thailand – quite the compliment! The attentive and accommodating service from our server was much appreciated. She consistently checked in with us, ensuring our dining experience was enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to our next visit, where we plan to try the next spicy level, "very hot"! Overall, our experience at Chili Cha Cha 2 was fantastic, and I can confidently recommend it to anyone craving some flavorful and spicy Pad See-Ew.

I had the pad see ew. Chicken was fantastic - well marinated and tender. Noodles were well flavored, but were a little thin. Staff was friendly and served us quickly. Great place to come by for a nice dinner!

Best Thai in the mission. Been looking for a place like this for few years since evergreen garden closed. Bingo!

Good vegan choices. Tasty Thai food. I liked that there were many non-fried items on the menu. Friendly staff

Good food but not overwhelming. Soup was ment to be spicy but wasn’t spicy at all… but solid place to go for a chilled Friday dinner

Not rating service or atmosphere because I got this delivered by Grubhub. I got the pad see ew with chicken and shrimp and the highest spice level. This is one of the best thai places in SF. I have ordered the same meal three times in the two months and it has been uniform.

Decent Thai food but there in definitely better. Didn't enjoy the pad see ew but the other dishes we had were good.

Price has gone up and quality has gone down since they reopened in late August. Pad thai tastes different every time now. Longer waiting times.
