"Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine (with locations in San Francisco and Oakland) is a maximalist fever dream, but in the best way possible. The space is decked out with neon signs, floral installations, and a playlist that jumps from Thai pop to Beyoncé. The Hat Yai fried chicken is crispy, juicy, and spicy, and the panang neua—tender beef in a rich panang curry—is salty-sweet perfection. The cocktails are just as bold, with drinks like the tamarind whiskey sour that somehow manages to improve upon an already perfect drink. It's a fun spot for a casual date or group dinner when you want big flavors, lots of rice, and exactly zero chill." - gabi moskowitz
