Culinary is Art & Healthy is Wealthy
We really enjoyed our dinner here. We went on a weekday around 6pm and were able to get seated before the rush soon after. People had to wait to be seated around 6:30pm onwards.
The food was delicious. There were many vegetarian options. My friend mainly ordered vegetarian and chicken dishes. Everything was really full of flavors and I especially like their yellow curry.
The service was okay….Food was not too tasty to me, but the soup was pretty good. I expected much more for my fried rice, but it was sub par. Also, the food tasted very sweet as if they add sugar to it. If you want real authentic Thai, I’d search for a different place and location.
I have been here several times, but this is the worst experience ever. I ordered seafood salad and Tom yum soup. The soup is very good I even got two, but the salad was horrible. First of all, the whole sale is lukewarm not like the cold salad I was expecting, which makes the vegetable soggy and bad. Secondly, the sauce doesn’t have enough flavor, making everything taste bland. Thirdly, the fish in salad is very odd and the fish doesn’t taste fresh at all. When I talked to the waiter about it he said that’s how it is made in Thailand. I am pretty sure they don’t put fish in salad and their salad is not warm. I’m even asking for a refund I just want some acknowledgment that their salad tastes bad, but no, the waiter insisted that it is the way of making seafood salad in Thailand and implied it’s my problem that I don’t like it. By the way the salad is $18.95.
I had a pretty bad experience here. I love Thai food and have tried many Thai restaurants, both locally and in Thailand, but this was a letdown. The food was excessively sweet, and when I asked the waiter about it, he rudely said we don't need to mention about sweetness and you should know Thai food is sweet. He started arguing, insisting that adding palm sugar to curry is standard and that all Thai restaurants serve this sweet food. His response was rude and unhelpful, making the whole experience frustrating. This level of customer service was unacceptable. Overall, this was my first genuinely negative experience with a Thai restaurant and the rude unprofessional waiter.
Love to come to sky deck for a beer and to watch the game. This time I got hungry upstairs and tried to see if they had anything good here. My single plate of Se Ew was over $23 and it was not anything special. Was pretty decent at first but the egg noodles began to fall apart very quickly. Maybe it was what I ordered?
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Eating here was like experiencing what Anton Ego felt when eating the Ratatouille. It tasted so good, the food was the one of the best I ever had and the Thai tea was amazing!! I swear I saw the childhood flashbacks it was really a good place. I always hesitate when getting curry since I was never much a fan but it’s now my favorite ever. I would eat here everyday, don’t miss your chance and try this place out. I got the Braised Beef Panang Curry (mild) and also some Thai tea, the best food ever! The atmosphere was so pretty and the service was super nice and fast. 11/10 best place! Definitely my new favorite restaurant and food.
(I’m not being sarcastic it’s just a reference from a movie since I thought the food was really good)
Yellow curry and spicy basil fried rice, also drunken noodles. Everything amazing almost every time
got takeout, found a hair in my food. ate what I could and even then it was so bad.
This was the worst Thai food I have ever had and the worst service at a Thai restaurant that I have ever experienced. The host was rude , the vegetables were served in a puddle of water and when I mentioned they just shrugged. 0/10 would not recommend EVER .
Rather limited but fantastic menu. Great ambience!
One of the worst pad thai I've ever had. It reminded me of the scene where Jordan Ramsey cooked pad thai to the thai chief. THERE IS NO FLAVOR. Also 20 dollars for the chicken pad thai...

From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The food was absolutely incredible – every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We had a truly memorable dining experience.
The food is consistently tasty but the service was poor today. It was hard to get attention from a server even though it was not crowded, then they included a 20% tip as we had a group of 5. Good food, disappointing and unfriendly service. I hope they were just having an off day as otherwise it’s a nice place.
The employees are extremely insincere, the lover is bad, they ruined my whole weekend, they wait too long
This is one of the best thai restaurants in the area, vegeterian and vegan friendly too. Super taste dishes, specially the eggplant, noodles and curry dishes.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is beautiful and the place is super clean.

The green beans and shrimp spring rolls were good but the yellow curry, pad Thai, and spicy noodles were all insanely sweet, the sweetest I have ever had, and the noodles were doused in soy sauce to a level I’ve never tasted before. I’ve had a ton of Thai food both in the US and in Thailand and I’ve never before had to eat the white rice to avoid eating the entrees.
excellent. wealthy Thai food!! My husband and I enjoyed it so much
Far and away the best Thai food I’ve ever had
I had a pretty bad experience here. I love Thai food and have tried many Thai restaurants, both locally and in Thailand, but this was a letdown.

Overall, this was my first genuinely negative experience with a Thai restaurant and the rude unprofessional waiter.
I had a disappointing experience here. As someone who loves Thai food and has visited many Thai restaurants, I found the dishes here to be way too sweet. When I inquired about the sweetness, the waiter, the guy was unhelpful and rude, dismissing my concerns by stating that "Thai food is sweet and you should know that". It was frustrating and made the whole meal unpleasant. Definitely not what I expected.
They add 20% gratituity without notifying or mentioning about it anywhere in the rate card. Tip on top of 20% gratituity.
Removing any stars for the practice of adding a gratuity without notifying and including tax in the tip calculation!
And they have the nerve to ask for an additional tip on top of the 21% they already gave themselves. That is underhanded, unethical, and just plain rude.
It's a shame because the food was pretty good but I will NEVER go back to it recommend a place with shady business practices.
We had an excellent lunch with impeccable service. The only minor drawback was the moderately high level of ambient noise in the open atmosphere of the Sky Court.
We’ve never actually been to the restaurant, but every time I’ve ordered delivery it has been exceptional. Which is atleast 5 times. Some of the best Thai food I have ever had!!! Really want to try the tamarind chicken bites but they aren’t recommended for take out… will visit asap and try them!

This is definitely the best Thai food I've ever tried !!
Vegetariana Review:
We've visited Kiin well in the doble digits. My wife and I have been to a variety of Thai restaurants in San Diego yet everytime we go back to Kiin we truly wonder why we even try any other place.
I usually test a place by the quality of the fried rice. Many places have an excuse or fried rice. Very few specialize in it, so it's a great dish to test the overall quality of a place. Theirs is second to none I've had in San Diego so far.
It is a very good place to go with mixed diets (vegan, omnivore, vegetarian). The menu isn't a huge selection, but at the same time I've never had a bad fish in this place.
The portions are of good size, service has always been good, decorations are great. This however isn't a quiet place (specially at night) as there are several other dinners up there and there is music playing for all. This doesn't mean you can't have a conversation here, but keep in mind if you're looking for a more romantic place.
Our new favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly/ attentive. No wonder it’s so popular.
My absolute FAVORITE Thai restaurant in San Diego!! Authentic, fresh creative dishes with friendly, efficient service. I always get the Panang curry (with shrimp) but this time I tried the sole with lime ginger sauce which was equally delicious. As a chef myself, I am super picky and usually don’t repeat destinations. But Kiin Thai has me addicted and coming back as a regular.
Honestly, so far the best Thai noodles I've tried in San Diego.
Simply put, Pad Thai is my favorite among all the Asian noodle varieties, however, in this restaurant, the undisputed winners were the so-called Drunken Noodles. They told me they were spicy, so I ordered them medium. They weren't spicy enough for me, so next time I'll go for a higher level.
The Pad Thai here is really really good, with a perfect sweet and sour contrast. I have to admit that the tofu wasn't my favorite, but it was liked by my wife.
The service was very good, we'll definitely come back!
Fantastic food, service and atmosphere in the Sky Deck. Definitely one of the more popular restaurants here. Only a 10min wait on a Friday night but very much worth it!
Really nice place! Delicious food, great atmosphere, cool spot.
Highly recommend!
Kiin Extraordinary Thai offers delicious food from a very friendly staff. This was my second time here and we all really enjoyed our meals. We shared an order of Fresh Spring Rolls to start, and then I ordered the Moo Yang Mixture. Both dishes were well presented and delicious. I would definitely eat here again.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Eating here was like experiencing what Anton Ego felt when eating the Ratatouille. It tasted so good, the food was the one of the best I ever had and the Thai tea was amazing!! I swear I saw the childhood flashbacks it was really a good place. I always hesitate when getting curry since I was never much a fan but it’s now my favorite ever.

(I’m not being sarcastic it’s just a reference from a movie since I thought the food was really good)
I’ve eaten here before… This time, when I tried to order man on the phone is being rude… I basically, he took my full order then said sorry it’s too late… It was like 830 they were out of a few items.
It’s not always about food, it’s about going somewhere reliable you either pay a fortune. Otherwise, the items aren’t even available… And their portions are probably have the size of anywhere else nearby.
This restaurant is in an upscale food hall. We came to the food hall so everyone in our group could order from the different restaurants. The sky deck website said there was a common dining area and QR codes at the tables to order from the different restaurants. But when we got there the few communal table didn’t seem to be attended too nor have qr codes to order and they taken up by people on computers coffee shop style. 3 of us wanted Thai and another wanted pizza. So we went to the Thai place and ordered there but when our friend showed up with his pizza the people in the Thai restaurant got all upset he was sitting with us in their section. They didn’t seem to care that we just ordered $100 in food from them. Overall the food was great but the service and food hall concept was a big fail.
I was looking for a vegan thai restaurant (always need to make sure curry has NO fish sauce on those) close to Sorrento Valley. This place is amazing. They make it a point to let you know there is no fish sauce. It's right there when you click on the menu on line - you get an extra pop up that says in plain letters: "KEEP IN MIND OUR SAUCES ARE FREE FROM FISH SAUCE AND OYSER SAUCE - WE ARE VEGAN FRIENDLY. Fellow vegans - please invade this restaurant and make it prosper.
Roasted Duck is so good
Their yellow curry is very good, and vegan!!
I enjoyed the panang curry but the noodle dishes were served lukewarm at best. The dishes did not taste freshly cooked, possibly microwaved right before serving. Curry is generally well suited as a reheated dish which may be why I did enjoy the curry.
Didn't expect a shopping food court to be this great. Reasonable prices, good quality preparation and authentic taste. Atmosphere was very warm with interesting decor. Service staff were very nice.
Food and service above average. BIG negative noise level within the complex during the evening. Have to yell so person across the table can hear you.
Amazingly delicious Thai food. Everything we have ordered there has been among the best Thai food we've ever eaten. Beautiful presentation. Attentive and super polite service.
Food mediocre .. waiter refused 1/2 glass wine … then brought full glass.. I refused it on the spot… the bill had full wine price .. … we had to haggle over it ….NOT SMART ..NOT GOOD EXPERIENCE
Positive reviews had me excited but my experience was not very good. Service and location are good, but food poor. And the first two don’t make up for the latter.
Chicken pad thai noodles was light on chicken ( maybe 2 oz) but heavy with a sweet pink sauce. Almost like sticky rice sauce. Ordered thai hot but was a 5/10 spice level. Food was edible but not enjoyable. Maybe they are better with the curries?
Me and family ate here alot of times, but the last two times we went here the service has been awful. Don’t get me wrong, the food and ambiance is great but our male server has always been rude. He is not pleasant, I personally asked his name (Nu/New), I am not sure how to spell it but the last two times that we went here and he was our server, we felt like we were being rushed to get out of the restaurant and he was always rude the way he ask for our orders and give our food. The last time, me and my mom was still talking enjoying our drinks and he came up to us and asked us if we were ready to check out because he said there were people apparently waiting to be sat down, and I was so frustrated because we were still enjoying our drinks and was supposedly planning to order dessert then I also notice that the table next to us was done and was there first before us but he did not ask them to leave. The second time, he was just rude and felt like he was rushing us to take orders and checkout as well. The manner he gave our food was also disappointing. We love the food here, but customer service should be improved.
The venue is a little loud with all the restaurants and the bar in the center with a Live DJ.
The food was good but by far the best thing was the braised Beef Panang Curry it was so tender it fell apart just by looking at it and the flavor was amazing.
Vegan friendly :)
Tofu pad see iw no egg
No milk Thai ice tea
Delicious Thai spot located in a modern food court. The dishes we had were amazing and probably the best Thai food I have had in a while.
I got mild for spice level and was pleased. Had a bit of a kick, so if you are sensitive to spice go with mild and you can always add more spice!
I went with the chef special beef panang currry and we also had the yellow curry. Both fantastic tasting and we will be back!
Excellent dishes. Very good service
Restaurant is inside a well decorated food court with its own sitting area. Ambience is kind of relaxing. Didn’t dine in.
Ordered a take out. Ordered drunken noodle (spicy noodle) and it’s very tasty. Noodles are fried to excellence, has the nice “breath of wok” of stir frying. All the side veges are very compatible with the dish ( bell peppers, onion, carrot). Would be great if there is some broccoli in the mix. Fried tofu is a little bit on the dry and the inside is not juicy enough. Other than that, all is good. Recommended.
Great food, awesome Tom Kha soup btw! Loved the hot basil on the wok item! Wov the started roasted beans thingy was like A+. Would visit again, staff was above par hospitality and the atmosphere as we know is the best because it is in sky deck Del Mar
It's a glorious food court, but still suffers some food court issues, like noise, minimally useful seating, crowds... The food at this restaurant was very good though, they have classic dishes done well, without tossing in trendy spoilers just for the sake of trend, and they have a few more adventurous options to make it an interesting restaurant. I haven't enjoyed all their adventurous takes but I've appreciated the choices, can't fault them for it. Sad that they lost their money bags though, ask for them when you go, maybe they'll bring them back.
I've done both take out and dine in and never really got something I liked. IMO Pad Thai was bland, chicken was like frozen food from grocery store, curry didn't have much flavor. With that, I can't really justify the price. Ambiance is nice and service was good, though. SD has many other great Thai places that are better tasting and cheaper.
I’ve been eating here every so often ever since Skydeck opened and they’ve been delicious and consistent every time. My family’s go to for special occasions. I usually order delivery or take out, but you gotta eat here in person at least once. The presentation of the dishes and drinks is gorgeous, and the ambience and service in their cozy little area are wonderful. I’ve always had a great experience with taking out as well and the staff are kind and accommodating, and the food never takes long. When I order delivery the food is always warm and securely packaged. They make excellent thai iced tea and give a very generous amount for the price. Definitely some of the best I’ve ever had, perfect balance of sweet, creamy and smoky. skip Happylemon and grab a milk tea here if you’re in the mood for a quick drink!!
Dishes I’ve had: (all of which I liked)
-Braised beef noodle soup: This stuff is heaven in a bowl (or container which is how I’ve always gotten it since I’ve never ordered it for dine in lol). I’m not sure if it’s served the same way in house but it comes as a pretty large container of beef in broth with a LOT of noodles and vegetables to add in. It’s easily big enough for 2 or 3 to share (again, can only confirm this for delivery) The broth is so flavorful and it’s just an absolutely amazing soup.
-Pad see ew: A delicious savory noodle dish. The noodles are thick and tender, flavorful, and practically absorb the sauce. Probably my favorite dish here.
-Braised Beef Panang Curry: This dish is a work of art. The beef is melt in your mouth tender and very flavorful. Even though I got it mild it was still very flavorful and amazing. This is a very heavy dish though so might be a good idea to share.
-Pad Thai: They do pad thai really, really well. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and savory. The tamarind sauce they use is amazing.
-House fried rice: Also really good especially if you like simple dishes. I find their noodle dishes more interesting though.
-Fresh spring rolls: Flavorful and refreshing, and come with a great sweet sauce.
-Thai Crispy rolls (vegetable): Crispy, warm and very well seasoned, really like the sauce too!
-Caramel Cream Cheese egg roll: The only dessert I’ve had here but I’m sure the others are great too. These are AMAZING though- It’s like a warm, heavenly banana cheesecake in a crispy crepe shell.
I’m not a fan of spicy food and what I hate about some restaurants is that if you request no spice it’s literally flavorless, but here without spice no flavor is sacrificed, it’s still beautifully seasoned and flavorful, and the savory flavors of every dish really shine through which I love. I’m sure getting their dishes spicy would still be excellent though if you like spice!
One of the best Thai cuisine in SanDiego. Love the ambiance and the vibe of the place. It was a total hit
High quality Thai dishes. The only thing is portions are on the smaller side.
Awesome Thai food
I’m a delivery driver so I get to try lots of Thai places . I tried to ginger stir fry and it’s was one of the best ones I have tried.
Super nice Thai restaurant! Good flavours and really authentic
Ok
Decent red curry. Think I prefer mine a bit more sweet and tangy. But nice veggies. I also liked that I could sub rice for more veggies. The duck was tasty too! Would order again.
We ordered fresh spring rolls with shrimp to share and was surprised my 3yr old ate some though he didn't want any sauce with it. I think he liked the fresh crunchiness of it. My husband and I couldn't decide whether we liked the peanut sauce or the other dipping sauce better so I used them both! For our entree I ordered the braised beef panang curry and boy was my husband jealous! He ordered the ginger wok dish and it was good but I tasted it after mine and it just couldn't compete! The beef was so tender and the curry had a nice sweetness to it. Awesome! I ordered it "as mild as you can make it" for my little ones, and myself really, and it was perfect. Just the slightest heat to get them used to it but didn't bother him or my 9 month old. I ordered an additional side of rice to soak up the Curry and have more to share with my kids and I was able to take some leftovers home which is nice since the price was a bit more than we usually spend for lunch.
four of us attended dinner, all of us ordered drinks, apps and entrees. much to our surprise, we later discovered thee charges for “peanut sauce” on the bill though none of us ordered any at all. apparently Fah needed to improvise and find a way to charge for sides of sweet and sour. $9 for ramekins of sweet chili sauce is ridiculous. Fah never mentioned the up-charge. she also had to be reminded to bring a few missed drinks.
service was poor, would not recommend.
A lively place with delicious food, umpteen vegan options and cordial service!
Muy rico todo 💯 % recomiendo los meseros muy amables..... si regresaría a comer aquí 😄
This place is so good! I’m vegan and it has so many great options. Definitely my favorite Thai in the area. I always order the Tom Kha soup, spicy noodles, and green curry!
Great service and menu. Food always consistent and quick. Green Curry, Tom Kha, and Spicy Noodle keep us coming back.
My favorite Thai place in San Diego :)
Tonight I ordered chicken and shrimp Pad Thai. I’m being nice to do 2 Stars…. Just not flavorful at all ! And there was so little chicken that I was amazed and we threw the shrimp in the garbage as the shrimp tasted bad as in old !!! Just terrible!! Salad with peanut sauce was ok I guess … will not return
Great food, wonderful service and excellent prices. We ordered 4 different dishes and all were delicious. We also tried their hot tea and iced Taro milk, both of which were great. The servers were very nice and the space was very clean. Your food gets ready quickly and you don’t have to wait as long for your food. Make sure to try their Duck meat and their fried rice.
I appreciate that they prominently note on their menu that they do not use fish oyster sauce. The service was polite and very fast. I had the pad see ew and spring rolls. I would say they were about 40th percentile. The noodles were not cooked perfectly and stuck together. Nothing spectacular, certainly, but serviceable. The space was pleasant.
So glad this restaurant opened here... my husband and I moved to the area 4 years ago and hadn't found a Thai restaurant that impressed us until we came to this one! We always start we their fresh spring roll, delicious!
I am a huge fan of their Tom Kah Soup, which interesting enough I usually don't eat at other Thai restaurants... The Fresh Ginger with veggies is my favorite dish on the menu and my go-to choice (like they call it, I fell like its light and fresh!)
... while my husband always gets their Pad Thai & the Tamarind Glazed chicken Bite, (He loves the combination of sweet sour and spicy!)
A little bit overpriced but red curry was really good. Pad Thai Wed not do great but they had made the duck very tender
This is the second time here and I still loved it! The braised beef Panag curry is amazing. The sauce is a bit thicker than normal and it is at once, sweet, tangy, velvety and sour.
Not extraordinary, but good
The food is so delicious and fresh! Staff are super friendly, it was a great experience. We will definitely come back!
We ordered:
Money Bags
Tom Yum Coconut Soup
Beef Curry
Chicken & Veggies
Blondie Beer
Mango Iced Tea
Mango & sticky rice for dessert!
All items were delicious!! I'd like to try the entire menu, mild was a little spicy for me and the curry, money bags were yummy and cute! Mango dessert was a great way to end the meal. They pack up your left overs for you and pay for tab at the table.
This entire food ball had a lot of other great options that I can't wait to try out!
I highly recommend soups and fried rice
Good vegan options + flavor and spice
Delicious Thai, very spicy
Very disappointing. Food is tasteless. A rare find in this neighborhood.
We were a group of four and we ordered the panang curry beef, fresh ginger shrimp, eggplant lover shrimp, and pad thai noodle. The food tasted just okay, but it was super greasy. For that quality, it was a bit overpriced. The worst part was that it took them 7 minutes from the time they brought the first order to our table to the time they brought the last one. As for the ambience the whole food court is super noisy and one can barely hear their friends speaking.
Nice place, good food
Nice people nice ambiance. Terrible food. My favorecía a few miles down In Solana Beach. Similan Thai.
Ordered take-out yellow curry which was filled with color, chunks of carrots, potatoes, bok choy and green beans; very flavorful and the right amount of "mild". Recommend adding mushrooms to liven it up just a bit more. Kind staff at the front assisting with directions in finding this location. *Hint to owner: perhaps increase rice portions considering entree prices. Overall a pleasant experience.
Wanted excellent Thai and took my wife here. It’s in the trendy Skydeck portion of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Pad Thai was phenomenal, it beat our favorite restaurant in Dallas. Chicken Tom Yum soup was great but not the pinnacle. Appetizers portion size was not generous, but the quality made up for that. Smallish dining area and shared ambience with the other 8 kitchens, which made it a little loud (but to be clear it was early on New Year’s Eve). Ginger tea was surprisingly rich and a little sweet. Noon was an attentive and skilled server. Kiin offers excellent Thai without breaking the bank.
Do not go here as there service is disorganized. We checked in and asked us to wait on the side for our table which would take 5 minutes. The manager came up to us later and asked if we had been helped and I said we have been waiting for a table. The girl who initially checked us in looked like a deer in headlights and completely clueless. They had given our table to someone else. All the manager could do was shrug his shoulder and said they would have a table ready for us in 15 minutes. Will never give a business like this my money. Plenty of other thai places in san diego that will treat you better!
I had the roasted duck pad thai and it was amazing!
Great service from greetings, providing food recommendation to serve dishes.
We ordered the Pad see Iw with roasted duck, Thai ice tea and braised beef Panang curry, I really loved how the roasted duck skin was cooked so crispy and thin!
Highlight- They provide you several curries, meat and rice options so you can make your favorite combination!
My recommendation is to order the wide noodles( Pad see Iw) if you prefer savory noodles than sweet noodles ( sometimes the sauce is sweet)
Would definitely go back again and try the red curry with roasted duck!
We have tried so many Thai restaurants from Las Vegas and New York to ones all around California and this is my favorite one so far! I ordered the yellow curry and it was perfect! I tried my sons and husbands dish as well and it was the same (perfection) … Perfectly spiced and the flavor was insane! Small seating area but in a HUGE open eatery space! Can’t wait to come back!
I've eaten at many Thai places before and at Kin, the presentation and flavor was amazing. Ingredients were really fresh and the staff is also really nice. I do miss getting my lunch from them since I used to work at the shopping center. But, I'll come visit for food once in a while! Give this restaurant a chance!
Everything we tried here (to go) was excellent. The tamarind chicken bites were my favorite. Pad Si Ew was great as well.
Truly live up to its name! I recommend ordering the spring rolls along with a pot of jasmine tea with whatever entree you choose! Expect an hour+ wait on Friday/Saturday in the evening, as there is no reservation system, you have to go to the restaurant in order to put your name down on the waitlist.
What a cute place! I love the modern and unique style of Sky Deck. And this Thai restaurant is so delicious. I tried the red curry, which they will ask you how spicy you like it. It is flavorful, coconuty and satisfying. For rice, you can also choose from brown or jasmine rice, and they will service it on the same plate with curry in a lovely heart shape. My husband ordered their signature Siamese beef dish, it comes with a papaya side salad and sticky rice. We love here, will recommend!
Very good, authentic thai food.
To all the people who just order pad thai and then write a one star review.... please expand your horizons a little bit and get out of your comfort zone. Have one of the chef specials and eat thai food like it is supposed to be.
Just because it wasn't as sugary as you like it or there wasn't spicy mayo or something like that doesn't mean they deserve a one star review.
My wife and I ordered a bunch of different dishes and we thought the food was great!
My favorite Thai spot in SD so far! Everything I had had nice aromas and perfectly balanced. They also are kid friendly and had a nice toddler plate for my 2 yo to use.
Kiin is the best Thai food in the area (and most likely San Diego)!! The Panang Curry Beef is a must try. You will notice the aroma and taste of fresh herbs. This is definitely not something out of a can. I spoke to the owner and was told that the beef was simmered for over three hours. No wonder it was tasty and tender. We also noticed how fresh and crunchy green beans were.
We also had Pad Thai shrimp (my baseline to figure out if a Thai restaurant is worth going back). It was perfectly seasoned like what you would taste in Thailand. Shrimps were perfectly cooked.
The service was great too.
Didn't have a chance to try dessert since we promised the kids to get ice cream. Will definitely go back.
Amazing, delicious, divine food! The best coconut shrimp appetizer ON THE PLANET!!! Their beef panang curry is delicious too. The staff are friendly and attentive also. Definitely a great place for a special occasion or impressing a date!
I really liked the Phad Thai. It’s my barometer for Thai restaurants and I usually order it on the first time I visit a restaurant. The service was good. I had my water refilled three times and staff regularly checked in
Authentic Thai food - took me right back to Bangkok. Spice level is exactly as expected.
The Pad Thai noodles were glass noodles and not very flavorful. Portions were small and sauce tasted fishy, not balanced. After ordering online via the restaurants website for pickup, we arrived just after the “quoted” ready time and I arrived to find my order buried under a pile of already prepared orders. The timing was obviously not very accurate indicating a need for better order response integration. My daughter ordered the Pad Thai at a #2 and she was crying- I ordered mine at a #7 and was disappointed with the spice level. I ordered a green curry since we were trying it out, the flavor was OK, definitely have had better curries than this one. Disappointed as they were mentioned in a prior review and didn’t deliver. Overall, I’d not recommend- at least until they work out some of these issues. Definitely not the quality you’d expect for the location and price.
Amazing food. highly recommend.
