"If you’re looking for a meal that screams quiet luxury, head to Prik Hom in the Richmond. The menu at this fancy Thai spot is so gluten-free-friendly that the few dishes that have the stuff are labeled. All of the dishes, from the scallops and lemongrass “shot” to the beef cheek curry with Japanese sweet potato, are delicious. Order (almost) the entire menu. Reservations for the next month open up on the first of the current month at 9am on OpenTable (for example, June reservations will open on May 1st). If you're down to roll the dice, just show up when they open at 5pm—every night they set aside a “couple of tables” that are first-come first-serve." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
