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.

Had a quick lunch with my long time friend who lives in San Diego here. The food is very good (I ordered as spicy as you can :)), and portion size is big. Quick, non-nonsense service.

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!

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 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)

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.
