Time:	7:45pm

Place:
	Cha Am
	701 Folsom
	San Francisco

Description:

	This is the SF branch of Cha Am, the below-described Berkeley
	Thai restaurant. Their Tom Ka Gai is not quite as good, their
	seafood selection is broader than their Berkeley restaurant.

    Cha-Am serves what is in my opinion (an opinion which is shared by
    many) the best Thai food in the East Bay.  Their Tom-Ka-Gai is
    particularly wonderful.

    Dinner should be less than fifteen dollars, not including drinks.

[Review by RichardT]

    Kabuki-West was last at Cha Am in July 2001?  Too long ago!
    The review may be a little dated-- with a Thai ice tea or two,
    dinner will probably be about $18 - 20/pp.

Directions:

    Short:
	Cha Am is next to the Moscone convention center at 3rd and Folsom.

    Public Transit:
	The restaurant is two blocks south of Market at 3rd.  
	It's *really* easy to get their by BART or Muni.
	Or take CowTrain to San Francisco, then either
	walk ~8 blocks to Folsom, turn left,
	or take almost any East-bound Townsend St. bus, 
	which will go up 3rd, and get off near Folsom.

    Long:
	From the east bay, take 80 west over the Bay Bridge.  Take
	the 5th St. exit, and turn right at Folsom.  Proceed several
	blocks and park next opportunity.
	From the south bay, take 101 north to 280 north.  Stay on the
	freeway until 280 ends, and turn right at 3rd street.
	Proceed ~four blocks to Folsom, and park as available.
