"A meal at this Thai barbecue restaurant in the Richmond is always chaotic and smoke-filled, thanks to the pork belly, shrimp, and bacon sizzling away on the domed charcoal grills that are in the middle of every table. As the meat sears, drippings fall down into a broth moat that surrounds each grill, so the broth gets even more flavorful over the course of your meal. Just make sure to come with people who are willing to yell over the sound of meat cooking and don’t mind putting in the work to get this DIY barbecue situation going." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
