Section for Lao mains which were different. Clearly marked which dishes could be made vegan. Nice atmosphere. The food was delicious!

I first came to Kiin because my friend worked there. However, after experiencing the beauties of Thai food, I can’t stop coming back. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely heavenly.

Food is good, but even though they take forever to serve one person (I went alone, and it took a long time to get served, AND to get my food), if you don't tip OR tip satisfactorily, they will chase you out the door and force you to tip. I'll never go back.

One of the best Thai foods in Pittsburgh! However, it is a little more on the expensive side. The food is pretty good you can pick your own spice level. I recommend the curry puffs! Very delicious.

Amazing little find! The view was fantastic and the food was soo good! Good portions and delicious. You definitely need to like fish sauce (which I do), but it is delicious and unique for Pittsburgh.

Mixed feelings about the food. The Laotian sausage and the Gra prow were good, well made and flavorful. The noodles and other starters were ok, kind of standard for most Asian places, average at best. You don't go there for the cocktails though. Would recommend for large groups as well.

Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu options for most dishes

Parking: Free street parking on Sundays, paid on other days

I loved that this restaurant had clearly labeled vegan options. The window seat overlooking the street was such a nice spot. The restaurant has very cute vibe. I would recommend others go here.

Very nice servers but didn’t check up on us often. However the male server was BUFFF so that upped the score.

.
Lots of decorations, and it was nice being by the window sill. Lots of neon lights too.

Food: 3.5/5.
The food was great but wish there was more. The portions are a bit too small. Got the mango juice and there was too much ice.

.
No wow factor. Normal Laos/thai restaurant.

The setting was very nice with great ambiance. We ordered the papaya salad to share, which was okay. My husband had the Orm with chicken, and I had the Mok with catfish. Mine had very little flavor, but I like catfish, so mine was edible. My husband’s tasted like it had never seen a grain of salt - very bland. The service was also unfortunately bad. We asked about our drinks, and a waiter said that was not “his department.” We ultimately canceled our drink orders after we finished what we could eat of our food. There is so much wonderful food in Pittsburgh; we would not return here.

A very cute establishment with a nice view for people watching. Fantastic service and delicious flavorful food. Don't sleep on the seasonal specials. The Lao Sausage with the Khao Soi was so good!

Wheelchair accessibility: Second floor eatery with a step staircase, does not appear wheelchair accessible unless there is an access point that I am not aware of.
