“Family Style” is a group dinner series where every week we visit the “under-appreciated” restaurants from different cultures, in San Francisco. Hosted by The Children of Diaspora, we bring together folks who appreciate the beauty of experiencing culture through food, and through good conversation.
For our 5th event, we'll be visiting Sai Jai Thai, a family owned restaurant known for it's delicious traditional Thai food, that has been in the Tenderloin for nearly 20 years. Come for the delicious Thai BBQ Pork Shoulder, papaya salad, noodles, and some of the best mango sticky rice in town.
To attend this event please RSVP here (hit “going”) and Venmo $30 to @andrew-pang (if you don't Venmo we won't be able to reserve a spot for you!)

FAQ
1. What if I have dietary restrictions/am vegetarian/vegan/etc.?
- Unfortunately as a new communal dinner event, we're not able to accommodate food restrictions. Stay tuned as future meals we may accomodate different diets!
2. What does my entry fee cover? Can I just order on my own?
- Currently, our dinner is meant to be eaten communally "family style" so we will order for the whole table. The fee covers the food, tip, and a small stipend for hosts so we can continue to organize these events :)
