As far as restaurant turnover goes, this must be some sort of record. The fourth Thai restaurant in less than 15 months is prepping to open at 494 Haight Street.

The location's most recent tenant, Sweet Basil, is now closed. And according to signs in the windows, something called House of Thai 2 will soon be taking its place. There's a House of Thai on Larkin in the Tenderloin, so this could be the sequel. We've tried to confirm with them, but to no avail thus far. 494 Haight is no stranger to restaurant changeovers. From 2002 to 2012, the location was home to Chilli Cha Cha. In November 2012, it became Terrific Thai. In July of 2013, it turned into Sweet Basil. And even before this latest string of Thai casualties, the address proved challenging. "Alas, this is a somewhat cursed location; it's been a Middle Eastern Restaurant, a Fish 'n Chips place, and a Falafel joint," noted one local resident when Chilli Cha Cha opened in 2002. Another referred to 494 Haight as "the cursed dining spot of mystery." All that being said, here's wishing House of Thai 2 the best of luck. Thanks to @cdouble2073 for the tip.
