Very oily and overburnt dishes, not sure why people like it, thai food is really good but this was very low quality food

While this spot is generally considered one of the best Thai spots in the city, I found it to be a bit over rated. Service was just ok and the food was disappointing. The beef curry was good but not as good as it should be considering the price. The beef wasn’t as tender as it should be and the curry was mismatched with fats and spices, generally a bit flat on flavor. Scallops were very good and had subtle Thai flavors that meshed very well with the scallop’s natural flavor. Fried chicken was my least favorite and completely not worth it. I’m not sure what happened here but very little expected flavor and zero exciting or inspiring flavor. Bland is best to describe.
Wine selection was very good. Presentation was beautiful for each dish. Seems like something potential changed, or maybe it was just the day after Valentine’s Day and the team had enough.

Underwhelming Fine Dining Experience for Valentine’s day special.
For a $100 per person fine dining meal, I expected far better. My wife and I, both pescatarians, wanted to select the vegetarian option, only to be told at dinner that it wasn’t available. No prior notice was given about pre-selecting meals, forcing the kitchen to scramble for substitutes.
Service was disappointingly slow—only two servers for ten tables—leaving us waiting for over two hours.
Food-wise, the Gio shrimp and another shrimp dish were solid (8/10), but the octopus was tough, old and fatty (2/10), and the fish was overcooked and not fresh as well (3/10).
The one saving grace? Dessert. The mango sticky rice was phenomenal (10/10).
At this price point, the inconsistency in service and food quality is hard to overlook. Definitely not worth the cost.

The food here is very good. Everything we ordered was great except for the coconut ice cream for dessert which was awful as it tasted like a candle. Like, literally a candle. It was really disgusting.
The stars of the meal were black cod, beef, Tom kha mushroom soup. It was all very good and we enjoyed it very much. I wish they had better lighting and I hoped for better ambience but that’s where the restaurant lacks…
The pricing is OK for SF and the overall quantity is fine…
I would go back again but will not be ordering the coconut ice cream dessert.

The massaman curry with purple rice is very tasty, but could be more substantial given how much you pay for it.

If you have sticky rice on the menu, let people order sticky rice.
Good food but small portions and the server was pushy.

Excellent service and tasty dishes. I would recommend everything except red curry of chili stuff. Dessert (young coconut ice cream) is amazing! All dishes are tiny though, definitely on the pricier side.

Our recent visit with a group of seven was not pleasant and we ended up hungry still after paying ~$100 per person. This place doesn't worth the hype.
Pre-fixe Menu: While a pre-fixe menu was mandated, prior communication regarding this requirement would have been appreciated.
Service: Waitress gave my friend a look when she was serving scallope and my friends asked for plates. She could have ackownledge and asked my friends to hold
!!Portion Size!!: We were surprised by the portion size of the main courses, which is inadequate for a group of seven, particularly considering the price per person (~$90). While we raised this concern promptly, the response did not adequately address it. when comparing online, the portion for 7 is slightly larger than for 2. What a scam !
Food Quality: The overall quality of the dishes was below expectations. Excessive use of sugar and oil was evident, and some seafood (specifically squid) exhibited slimy. The scallops, however, were good.
Tipping Policy: The inclusion of a mandatory 20% gratuity based on the post-tax amount deviated from customary practices and lacked transparency.

I wouldn't recommend going here with a group larger than 4 people. The portion sizes don't scale with the size of your party.
They didn't mention that the family style menu($70 pp)is the only option for groups of 6 or more during any process upfront(reservation, allergy check over the phone or the reminder text)
For the entree: beef cheek mussan curry (p2), squid with ink (p3), and branzino with fish sauce (no picture, but we only received TWO fried fillets), we only got one plate to share for 7 people (see pictures for size).
Considering the amount of food (nearly $100 pp) it’s way too overpriced
And as for the taste? Meh... you can find better options elsewhere.

Some dishes are good, but the food are not authentic Thai. One big problem is the portion size. You can only do family style if you have a group larger than 6. However, the portion is not big enough to share. You can not get to even 60% full if there are more men than women in your group. It might be good to come here in smaller groups so you can order flexiblely. We expected more given the price for the family sharing menu.
the most disappointing and overhyped meal i’ve been to in the most recent times. lauded by the infatuation and other lists as a must try restaurant, prik hom falls flat in all aspects. the food was cooked well but had one dimensional flavor with tiny portions, service was okay, and the interior more representative of a fast casual restaurant than somewhere that costs $50 without drinks. overall, would not recommend nor come back.
scallop: this dish he’s pretty good. scallop was cooked well.
hat yai fried chicken: skip. cooked well but too dry and lacked flavor. needed a sauce to pair with.
massaman curry: again, cooked well but way too sweet. one dimensional flavor. skip.
eggplant: actually the best dish of the night and would get again. smoky, well flavored.
purple rice: standard but pretty good. scam that it costs extra though.

Beautifully presented and delicious food with a menu that changes seasonally. Service was great. We shared 2 appetizers (the shrimp and the olives dishes were terrific)and the very large quail salad. and noticed that these all came with 3 items (3 shrimp, 3 quail and 3 olives with rice crackers). The eggplant stir fry was awesome. Also enjoyed the beef cheek curry and purple rice. Nice selection of beer and wine. And the smoked coconut vanilla ice cream is a standout. Will return when the menu changes after the summer.

Been wanting to try this place for so long but left disappointed. I hate leaving negative reviews especially for small new businesses.
Small dishes are decent but nothing to write home about. The massaman curry is overly sweet to a point where it feels like someone intentionally spills sugar in it. The dish would’ve been great if they cut 75% of the sugar. The squid with ink sauce is slimy, undercooked, and salty. We shared one piece to try, but the rest was left untouched. It was that bad.
I don’t mind spending $200 for 2 people, but overall the experience is mediocre at best for us.

Really creative and delicious food here, not at all like the run-of-the-mill Thai places. No pad thai, no satay, etc, and you don't miss them at all!
