Prik Hom

Prik Hom is an unpretentious upscale Thai restaurant with unique and amazing food! Every dish was flavorful and presented beautifully. It's more expensive than your average Thai restaurant but the quality of the dishes and the ingredients are worth the price. We got the scallop and lemongrass, the grilled oyster mushroom salad, fried egg and brussel sprouts, curry cod in banana leaf, a side of jasmine rice, and both desserts, the grilled sweet pumpkin with thai custard and smoked young coconut ice cream. We enjoyed everything, all the dishes were delicious and unlike anything I've had before. Don't skip the desserts! I'm not usually a dessert person but these were so good.The service was also great! Very attentive and kind. When we asked if what we had ordered was enough for a table of 2, they recommended we get one more so we added the grilled oyster mushroom salad. With the salad, it was perfect amount of food! It was nice that their recommendation was honest and didn't try to upsell. I want to go back to try the tasting menu already! Definitely recommend booking a reservation online, it's a small spot so not much room for walk-ins during peak dinner times.

Pretty delicious Thai food! We knew we had to come try when it was on NYT restaurant list. The food quality was good but it was quite overpriced in my opinion. We went on a Friday night and didn't have a reservation. We didn't have to wait long though, we got seated quite quickly at the bar.The food was mostly good. I like the beef curry. It had a nice kick to it. The dishes are small, the waitress recommended that we get around 3-4 dishes for two people to share. The fried chicken was a bit on the dry side for my liking. The highlight was the dessert for me. It was quite interesting to see sweet pumpkin in a dessert.Overall, the food was decently good but the price is quite expensive.

I came to try Prik Hom with two friends and have to say while the food is good and solid, it was quite pricey for Thai food and not sure if it's a place I would come back to. The location is right off a bit street, so there's only street parking. While I managed to find one relatively close to the restaurant, I can imagine it being a bit challenging during peak dining hours. The restaurant is fairly small with cute and clean feel. Definitely got a cute date spot vibe. We ended up ordering quite a variety including scallops and lemongrass, fried chicken, Lotus and Jicama, red curry, spicy shrimp, and smoked coconut. I'd say all the dishes were actually really good - especially the scallop and lotus and shrimp dishes. However, I think for the price and portion, it was definitely quite expensive for thai food. Definitely a great place to check out if you don't mind the high price tag but I probably won't come back now that I've tried it once.

If you are bored of having typical Thai food at every Thai restaurant, def recommend coming here! This place serves nothing like what you've known as Thai food! Newly opened and very creative with their dish. Price is high for small portion, but it might be worth if you appreciate the quality. Every food we ordered was carefully crafted and tasty. But not sure if i would pay $16 for two piece of scallops.. the restaurant is small so it can be loud from other tables but ambience and service was good. They change menu every 2~3months so I'm looking forward for more of their unique creation!

Prik Hom never fails to impress! This was our second visit, and we were thrilled to explore their winter menu. The seasonal dishes were absolutely delightful, blending rich flavors with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in San Francisco, Prik Hom is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back!

I've tried their new dishes such as Umami shrimp, Tom yum soup, Laab nuer, Fried chicken, Scallops and they were delicious. It was just the fried chicken was not so flavorful and a little bit too dry. Personally, I am a big fan of Tom yum soup but I am going to say it was okay, other than that the service was great, their staffs were super friendly and mindful. I love the vibes of the restaurant too, nice place to hang out!

Food: - Scallops and Lemongrass: by far the table's favorite dish of the night. If the $8 per scallop seems pricey, don't worry it's totally worth it. The scallops are cooked perfectly and the lemongrass perfectly balances the richness and umami of the scallop- Fried Chicken: solid crispy fried chicken! Fun appetizer for the table.- Som Tam and Fried Quail: I love papaya salad, but this wasn't it. It definitely could have used more of the dressing throughout. - Eggplant with basil: second favorite dish. I love eggplant and the wok hei just added a perfect depth of flavor for this dish- Beef Cheek Mussaman Curry: really tender, fall off the bone beef cheek paired with a flavorful curry. The curry is on the thinner side so definitely order some rice to pair with it!It's great to see another yummy Thai restaurant open in the city! I was able to secure a reservation after the 2 month hype wait resided and in fact, find that nowadays a reservation can be typically had a week in advance. It's an elevated Thai dining experience that is perfect for a catchup with friends or a dinner date. Definitely worth a visit at least once!

They are super nice. It's Chinese New Year and I wanted to walk to a place to grab some lucky food for dinner... they sat me at dining table center of row with no reservations! Then I was trying to figure out what lucky food to get... no spring rolls here... so I got the scallops. Yum ! You need to heed the instructions of mixing the ingredients in bowl. Then I ordered the black cod curry in banana leaf... medium spicy delicious. Too bad I already had sole earlier at Olympic Club for lunch... as I was closing out my tab, the manager came over with a lucky tangerine just like this emoji with a green leaf and wished me luck and happy new year! So nice and considerate!!!

I think Prik Hom is probably one of the best Thai places in town (and that's saying something since SF has an abundance of great Thai food). I saw it pop up as one of the hardest reservations to get and I couldn't overcome my FOMO. I booked a table about a month out and waited patiently for my reservation. It was definitely worth the wait. My friend and I tried scallops and lemongrass, crab meat khao soi shot, fried chicken, branzino yum, beef shank green curry, eggplant with basil, lychee popsicle and smoked young coconut ice cream. Everything was fabulous - the standouts for me were the khao soi shot, beef shank green curry and the eggplant with basil. Service was good but the place can get really busy. With tax and tip, this is a really good dinner for under $100. The restaurant itself is relatively small but I really like the neighborhood restaurant vibes here. It's really hard to get a reservation but I learned that you can call and they might open up a table for you. Highly, highly recommended!!!

Prik Hom is a Thai restaurant on Geary Boulevard in the Laurel Heights neighborhood. It's the third Thai restaurant to be added to the Michelin guide for San Francisco, which was enough reason for me to try it, and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant's interior is small and simple but nice. Prik Hom means "aromatic chili" in the Thai language.The menu is à la carte. They also have a set menu, but you need 6 people to order it. I ordered two starters (they are small), one entree, and a dessert.* Scallops and lemongrass* Crab Meat Khao Soi Shot* Yellowtail with thick red curry, fingerroot, and hen of the wood mushrooms* Smoked young coconut ice cream, smoked with a traditional Thai candleScallops and crab for starters, what more could you ask for? Khao Soi is a curry that combines crispy deep-fried and boiled rice noodles. The yellowtail was very good. They say their curry pastes are house-made, and indeed it was delicious. The coconut ice cream smoked with a traditional Thai candle was unique, and that's a good point.In summary, a great experience with fine and creative cuisine.
