I got chicken pad see ew. was the perfect ratio of oil/sauce for mouthfeel. Also medium spicy not too spicy. All in all W experience“

Kinaree Eatery Thai • $$
6741 Quail Hill Pkwy, Irvine - 6.67 miles

“Kinaree serves delicious Thai dishes that can be more difficult to find elsewhere and does them well with their own little twists. A friend and I stuck to the “Chef’s Highlights” portion of the menu, but we would definitely like to return to try their breakfast and brunch items if we can resist reordering some favorites. The waitress had shared that since there was a thai restaurant in the plaza, they had to make a unique menu to set themselves apart which is how the thai fusion brunch menu came to be.

We visited on a Monday afternoon and they only had a few other tables. The pandan sweet tea was subtly sweet and had the right amount of aroma from the pandan. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and packed full of flavor. The tom yum hot pot had tons of seafood and packed with ramen noodles. Definitely tasted better warm, so try this one first if ordering multiple dishes. Khao soi had the depth of flavor you would want from the curry, although I found it to be slightly on the more watery side. I like the array of proteins you can choose from chicken, beef, blue crab, etc. The STAR of the meal was the fried fish with apple salad. As a big fan of this dish, I can say that they made this perfectly crispy with tender fish inside and a fresh apple salad packed full of herbs that just hits the spot! A def must try! I even ordered one to go as well as their crab fried rice that was super fresh and scrumptious! Unfortunately, they were out of their thai tea cheesecake, but the roti with coconut ice cream was a yummy way to end the meal. What can go wrong with indulging in a warm crispy dough topped with creamy coconut ice cream. Cannot wait to return!“

Vegetarian options: One in our household is vegetarian and she enjoys the shrimp and veg options (turnip cakes, garlic noodles, spicy shrimp noodles, shrimp dumplings, shrimp balls, cabbage, etc.“

Chicken Soup with Abalones & Pork Tripe

“I ordered this place many many times. One time I also noticed the “suspicious” fried tofu with black dots on them. I was so angry so I called the owner, they explained to me the crispy tofu soaked with 卤汁 sauce will make the tofu looks like it’s not fresh… I didn’t believe him at first then I poked the black dots and they were really small pockets of sauce…. I don’t think they deserve a 3 star!!! It’s actually really yummy and taste fresh… I often crave this place. Also today when I ordered, I noticed they changed their tofu type and added more bok choy. Thanks for improving and maintaining a good quality!“

Cold noodle: the best I've tried so far, especially when you get a combo with spicy pork or bulgogi 3. Meat: spicy pork/bulgogi was homemade and were not like other korean restaurants. Taste very delicious!“
