KinKao stands out among Columbia’s Thai restaurants. Whether you’re treating yourself after a long week, going out with friends, or simply want high-quality Thai food, this place delivers. I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a try - and when you do, the Basil Fried Rice is a safe (and excellent) bet!

Kinkao is easily the best Thai restaurant in Columbia. I’m always seated right away, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient. As a Thai food lover, I especially enjoy the Chicken Pad Thai with a side of Crab Rangoon, both are flavorful and cooked perfectly.
The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are attentive, and the food quality is exceptional. Kinkao has become my go-to spot for authentic Thai cuisine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Columbia.

Just tried this place for the 1st time so here we go. The young lady serving us was kind, courteous and a good server for sure. I had the pineapple friend rice it was pretty good a little dry and the chili powder im guessing they use for the heat? overpowered the taste of the curry that I love so much and was looking for and they definitely should crush the peanuts . My wife had the Pad Tai and it was the worse Pad Tai we have ever had. Super Dry hardly any flavor and what flavor it had was unpleasant. And once more please crush the peanuts!. My daughter had one of the soups I forget the name but it was excellent!! And I do mean excellent. We had the Curry pastry bun things? Lol They were also excellent. The dumplings were definitely better than average but nothing fenominal. Overall we decided we probably wouldn't return. Sorry for the bad review but we are foodies and can't help but be honest. Our meal at $77 wavy wasn't worth it we have it a try but back to Bangkok Garden we go!

I went with group of 7 (5 adults, 2 kinds under 10). We all enjoyed our food. My dairy free, gluten free friend had drunken noodles. My vegetarian friend and his son had something that was tofu and peppers in a sauce (panang curry, I think), they loved it. Another friend had the vegetable mix with beef. The last had the yellow curry. I had the garlic stir fry and potstockers and my son has egg fried rice and the shicken wings. The wings were particularly good. There are not a lot of Thai places left if town. I hope this one sticks around

The drunken noodles were cooked to perfection. Had the perfect amount of spice, perfect amount of flavor, not soggy, not dry. And a large plate, worth it 100%
Best takeout Thai in Como. Panang curry was so good and spicy. Wife has loved the shrimp pad Thai both times she’s tried it. Can’t wait to come back again!

The food here looks amazing — I was so excited to try it! When we came in, it was a little hectic with the AC being down and the staff juggling a busy night, so things felt a bit slow at first. Even though we waited longer than expected, I could tell the team was really doing their best under tough circumstances.
And when the food finally came out — wow, it was worth it! We were so glad, I wish I had a photo, but the second the plates hit the table we all dove right in. Absolutely delicious, and I’ll definitely be back!

Ordered to go. They had it ready quickly. I was surprised to see it was pretty busy when I picked up.
All our dishes were very good. Good service at the counter too.
Prices seem fair.
Continues to be amazing!

•walked in and 2 people ahead of us hadn't been acknowledged •15 or so minutes after we stood there they came up and told us all it would be 20 minutes. I said that was ok for my husband and I but didn't know about the girls who were there before •The girls asked about multiple open tables and they said they didn't know, they would check •Waited another 10 or so minutes and a lady came up and told us the upstairs AC didn't work but we could go up there - we declined (it's 94°) •Waited more and the first person came back and asked if anyone had helped us - we said no and she left again •Girls ahead of us left •Waited a few more minutes because I was really trying to be understanding of their AC situation and being a bit busy •People come in to pick up a to-go order and told us this was something that happened to them too • They said we could be seated and took us back to a table that had been open the whole time •Right after sitting down they come up and tell us we are being moved and carry a table over to a corner. I expressed concern about there being room and they ignored me •After a second with the drink menu they take my order and I give my husband the menu - instead of waiting the waitress goes to the next table over and then the next table.. then we left because it was so uncomfortable not being treated like a person •Went to a different restaurant where we were acknowledged immediately
Gave food 3/5 to be fair - wish I could have tried it. Photo of my corner table

•The girls asked about multiple open tables and they said they didn't know, they would check
•Waited another 10 or so minutes and a lady came up and told us the upstairs AC didn't work but we could go up there - we declined (it's 94°)
•Waited more and the first person came back and asked if anyone had helped us - we said no and she left again
•Girls ahead of us left
•Waited a few more minutes because I was really trying to be understanding of their AC situation and being a bit busy
•People come in to pick up a to-go order and told us this was something that happened to them too
• They said we could be seated and took us back to a table that had been open the whole time
