Mirroring Chef Chad Robertson and Chef Elisabeth Prueitt’s Tartine Manufactory in the Mission District, The Manufactory Food Hall is described as “a creative center of artisanal activity – a foodie factory”.

Guests can choose dishes from three different food stations as well as a full-service bar, each serving up plates, snacks and drinks from the city’s best culinary talent.

The food hall includes:

- Kin Khao Thai Eatery: Chef Pim Techamuanvivit’s Kin Khao Thai Eatery in Union Square earned a one Michelin star within two years of opening. The chef takes her guests on a culinary voyage to her native Thailand with authentic curries, noodles, soups, sandwiches and sweets. Ingredients are sourced from local and sustainable suppliers as well as specialist items from her native Thailand. Featured favorites include the Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Khao Soi Northern-style chicken curry. Other items include salads, noodle soups and carry-out boxes of fried chicken and fried tofu.

Also included in The Manufactory Food Hall is a full-service bar, featuring a cocktail menu created by James Beard-nominated mixologist, Julian Cox, as well as a list of regional wines and beers. The bar menu also includes small plate options from each of the food hall’s individual eateries.

Paul Loupakos, Vice President Business Development, said: “For SFO’s International Terminal passengers, The Manufactory Food Hall promises more than a memorable experience. The Manufactory brings an exceptional, elevated dining experience driven by four of the Bay Area’s hottest-trending, most prominent and successful local chefs.
