In the process of scouting dining options around the Guthrie, we couldn't miss the nearest exterior option, Kindee. A one-minute stroll away, Kindee is likely a tough table to land pre-show, so a reservation seems wise. One was not needed on this cold, quiet Monday in the city. We started with fried spring rolls, consisting of three cut diagonally in halves. Crisp and tasty, with a touch of sweet and sour sauce nicely offsetting the crunchy cabbage and onions. (I proceeded to slather the sauce on my last two portions and ate like it was my last meal, but no apologies - they were that good.) We tried just two entrees, both excellent, the pineapple fried rice and the ginger salmon. The fried rice had big chunks of pineapple and delicious dried cranberries. I felt the added pork wasn't the best as it dried out a bit in the process, but overall a great fried rice dish. The salmon was excellent, prepared a perfect medium rare. Either could feed 2-3 diners. Overall, a very good experience, with prompt service and great food. Sadly, only beer and wine are offered, but the selection was more than adequate. Looks like a dandy pre-show dinner spot.

The curry was good, pad thai was very sweet and not very savory or umami, the service is very frantic impatient. My friend showed up late and they would not let us just settle in and have time with the menu. The tall waiter that saunters around brought us our food and just plopped it down, when we said thank you they just ignored us, no "enjoy" no smile, nothing. When we were done the older guy took away our water with great haste and made us feel rushed. Portion sizes are small, and I can't believe they use Tilapia, the cheapest fish, and charge those prices.

Been going for years to get the cranberry cream cheese wantons. Questioned the bill only to find the $6 price from Google maps is now $9 for just 4 wantons. Sorry you lost a local customer, and for the sake of others you may want to update the menu

Our large party was very disappointed with our evening meal at this restaurant. The appetizers were good. The service was excellent but the main courses were disappointingly bland, ill prepared and dry, and the fried bananas for dessert were cold and tasted of stale oil. We will not eat there again.

Our takeout was overpriced for small portions. The Pad Thai was meh, not good enough to ever order again. The Panang curry doesn’t come with any vegetables. It’s just a small portion of meat in a container of unusually salty sauce for $16. Vegetables are apparently $1-2 extra each, which is kinda nuts.

Food wasn’t great, but I’ve had worse. We had spring rolls and pad thai. Asked for ‘extra chicken’ and got probably 1/2 to 1/3 of what you’d get at most other thai places. If you get takeout from Amazing Thailand and order pad thai w chx, you get a TON of chx. Life hack!Don’t like the default tofu in Kindee’s pad thai, even though that is arguably authentic. Not sure. I think with so many thai places in the cities we have found others that are more reliable than here. But it was relatively cheap and quick. Just goes to prove the age old economics phrase: fast, cheap, quality, pick two. The two here are fast and cheap

Curry was liquid but had good flavor. Spring rolls were disappointing along with the Pad Thai.

My husband really enjoyed the basil dish he had, but I had the pad thai and I wasn't very impressed. It tasted like sugar ketchup sauce. Its a hit and miss at places with their pad thai , and this one was a miss. Tables and accessibility to walk thru is a bit kadiwancass, to say the least.Service was fine and they were friendly.

Weird ambiance with a range of modern pop music, bright lights, and not very comfortable seats. Food was average at best. Reasonable prices. Would only consider if you need something near The Guthrie. Service was by rookie servers. Street parking only or a ramp by The Guthrie; all paid.

Randomly decided to visit Kindee Thai for the first time on a weekend and got seated quickly. I love not having to make reservations in advance and being able to get seated immediately. The staff was very efficient with us as we were in a hurry and they got everything to us promptly. We started our meal with cream cheese wontons and these were delightful, I especially enjoyed the tough of jam inside the wonton. I chose to order a curry dish while my boyfriend got the pad see ew. We both enjoyed our dishes and felt full and satisfied. The ambiance was nice and clean and the staff was very friendly.
