Very good Thai food on the way to Tahoe. Portion sizes were good. Chef was able to customize some varieties for kids too.
Their daily specials deserve an extra credit - order some from their specials list, totally worth it. We are a group of 12, they easily accommodated it in the short space.

We really enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients, the avocado spring roll, pra ram with broccoli that tasted just like at home, and the pad Thai. Service was very friendly, we will come again.

From the outside it's unassuming, but don't let that fool you. All of the food we ordered was great! I lived in Thailand for a few months and while the food wasn't quite that good (naturally), it was pretty darn close. I had the Kao Soi, which is mainly found in Northern Thailand and I've rarely seen it in the states. We also tried the pad thai, fried rice, and the Tom Kha Gai soup. All were really good, and also came in sizeable portions. To top it off, the service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: They do not have a children's menu, but my 3yo and 5yo liked all four of the non-spicy dishes we ordered. My son especially liked the Tom Kha Gai soup, and my daughter especially liked the fried rice.

Went to Karin Thai while we visited Auburn as the reviews by others noted they offer vegan options.

We ordered four entrees between the four of us to be able to try different items:
Pumpkin curry with veggies
Green curry with veggies
Cashew Nut with Tofu
Pad Kee Mow with Tofu

We substituted brown rice for the standard white rice.

My personal favorite was the Cashew Nut- it was one of the best I've ever had anywhere. The flavors were strong which was a delight as usually this dish is lighter in flavor and requires chili sauce (sambal) to enhance the flavor. No need here!

My son's love the pumpkin curry. Again, hard to find pumpkin curry at most Thai restaurants in the US and this was so delicious and they didn't skimp on the pumpkin.

In fact, the same was true for all of our entrees as you can see from the overflowing plates and bowls.

So glad we came to this Thai restaurant while we visited the area.

Just wanted to share this incredibly amazing food experience I had. ? It's something that has been etching in my mind since I last had it, and not a single soul knows how much I have been craving for it. OMG, it was simply beyond words! So delectable that I have been yearning for it for a year, yes, a whole year!!! ? it was not just about the taste but the feel, the texture, the magic of ingredients melting in the mouth... everything was just top-notch! ✨?

And no, it's not just the food but also the warm hospitality of the owner. Her smile brightened up the entire serving experience, making it all even more memorable. ?

Can't believe I have to wait till July! Going there and feasting on that fried rice again... it's going to be an absolute treat for my taste buds! ? All set to rush there and make my pallette happy once again! ?‍♂️?
