ABLEIST RESTAURANT DO NOT SUPPORT. I was denied service because I had my service dog with me. The server said I needed proof (I assume they meant certification) that she was as service dog. When I explained that that is illegal to require, he repeated that he would not serve me.

SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, don't patronize businesses that do the opposite.

LowBrau right down the street was great!!

We got some vegan dishes and they were so salty. We couldn’t even eat the mee pad see aew at all, it was so salty it burned. Vegan prik king had some crispy protein that was like fried salty air, there was nothing to chew on. Super disappointing

Food is ok and not cheap. Service was decent, the desserts I wanted all of them were out of stock. The only thing is that don't park in front of the store, some mad person came and scratched the front of my car with his keys or something while we were eating.

Decent food, but they politely asked us to leave as soon as we finished a meal. Part of enjoying a restaurant is having a conversation and enjoying company. Entrees did not all come out at the same time.

Steer clear if you’re trying to enjoy your night.

I hate thai food. One night I was super hungry and didn't feel like cooking and my brother had bought me some pad Thai from here and it was so amazing that less than a week later I came in to buy more. The workers were nice and very quick, the restaurant was super clean and nice, and the food was even better. If you're like me and you hate thai food I really think you should check this place out.

I had a nice dinner here at Kin Thai.

I was very hungry as I only had eaten an apple at 10am, and it was already 6pm. So as my coworker likes to say, “my eyes be pimpin my brain” because I ordered too much food.

In my defense, the pics for the quail egg wontons showed three, and I got six! And they were yummy! The wontons were perfectly fried and the quail egg gave a nice pop to the bite.

I think even if I wasn’t ravenous, the egg wrapped pad thai could be shared between two people. I could only eat about 2/3 of the plate. The egg was paper thin, and it was fun cutting it to reveal the noodles. The shrimp was very plump and cooked just right. Presentation was beautiful!

I like a strong tamarind flavor and this pad thai didn’t quite have it. Maybe the sauce needs some more time to develop. The menu did say they cook northern Thai cuisine, so maybe it’s me who’s not familiar with this version.

It was a Monday night so it was really quiet, even with the few groups of people there. I imagine it gets more foot traffic closer to the weekend.

The restaurant is spacious and can accommodate parties of various sizes. I like the woodsy decor. And the wait staff were really nice and refilled my water often. It was scorching hot in Sac and I finished my glass often.

I’d love to come back and try one of the curries.

Great atmosphere, feels very casual yet still fancy and Instagram-worthy.

I got the Khao Soi, unbelievably tasty. And the spice is legit! Hot had me racing for my Thai tea regularly ??

So yummy, nice place for a quick, but not too casual bite.

We stepped in to Kin Thai after having passed by the location sooooo many times, not realizing it was a restaurant. . . From the street, it's kind of hidden, so know where you are going.
Inside is wide open with lots of tables. When we arrived on a Sunday evening, we were told at the door they don't have tables available, but we could sit at the window counter. HMMM lot's of open tables though... The tables themselves are made of heavy wood and the seating is wrought iron with heavy wood (and hard) seats. Definitely NOT designed for anyone to linger after dinner. Kin Thai still uses the QR code system for placing your orders. But, they do have physical menus if you ask. Personally, I am so over the QR code menu system.
For dinner, we had:
Eggplant salad - very good
Chicken satay - pretty standard
Massaman curry beef - Excellent (ask for spicy and you won't be disappointed)

The price and the amount of food delivered was plenty for two people.
In the time we were there, the place quickly filled up, they all dined, and all left by the time we were finished with our meals. . . not that WE were lingering, but it just seems like this is how the patrons eat here. FAST...

Wonderful spot that has excellent food and service. Tasty and hot appetizers. Variety of main dishes. Highlights were the different types of rice served, the spices used and the range of chicken choices. Noodle options looked delicious. All the food came out hot and steaming. The table was pre-bussed quickly and effectively and water refill service was prompt. A very pleasant experience. Will be back and recommending.

Good vibe and service. Main rice dishes were as expected, but appetizer might be overrated.

Better to come for lunch on weekdays to avoid the crowd
