"If you’re looking for a maximalist group dinner near Jack London Square, all roads lead to Farmhouse Kitchen. The sceney Thai spot has locations in Berkeley, SF, and LA, but the Jack London outpost is its biggest by far—the party spills out onto the waterfront patio most nights, and the entire flower-filled restaurant is perpetually packed with birthday dinners, families, and groups clinking frosé topped with cotton candy. And the food, like the khao soi neua and crispy hat yai fried chicken served with a fragrant yellow curry for dipping, is just as excellent as the scene." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
