If you've never had Laotian food, but like Thai, it's a similar cuisine. We enjoyed everything we tried: pad see ew, lao calamari, roti with curry dip, cheesy pad Thai, egg roll. Service: friendly and the food is very speedy! Ambiance: clean, simple, no frills.

I usually get take out but it's a very cozy spot to eat in, and they have tap to pay capabilities so I will usually pop in after a jog when I don't have my wallet and it's not a problem. FYI, parking is free on Boston Street but depending on the tune of day can fill up. Although the menu items will sound familiar to Thai disagree, keep in mind that this is a Laotian restaurant! The flavors are going to be a bit different. Based on the items I've had, I would say it's less heavy and less of a coconut/sweet base than typical Thai dishes. Try them out for yourself!

Came here for date night after hearing so much about this restaurant and it didn't disappoint!…read moreLaotian food is always a hit. We had major indecision because there's SO many things on the menu we wanted to try but ended up getting: Naem khao: 4/5 probably better with the sour pork, but loved how fresh this was. It was a large portion too, so we got kind of full from finishing it before our mains even arrived. Shrimp pad see ew: 5/5 the best pad see ew I've had in the DMV. So much wok fire flavor. You can really taste the caramelization. And the large shrimp were velveted which was made it extra satisfying to eat. Also a good shareable portion size! Muu Som: 4/5 this was super rich and heavy. Would get this again only to share with a larger group. Loved that it came with sticky rice. Mango sticky rice: 4/5 delicious but in my opinion didn't need the ice cream on top (my boyfriend thinks otherwise though). Very large portion as well. The cocktails were a little pricy ($15) for what they were but I did love the tamarind margarita. Just wish it was a larger drink or a smaller price tag. Service was very attentive!

I actually intended to try out the Trini Vybez restaurant next door, but discovered they're closed but their signage is still up. Anyways, I got a seat at the bar for myself and service was great. I was a bit indecisive as the menu is pretty extensive, and I've never eaten Laotian food before. Luckily, it was happy hour, so I was able to sample a couple of their appetizers and their daiquiri which was quite strong. I had the Tam Sum, papaya salad and that was very good with a hint of spice and lime. Then, I also had Chuenh Peek Gai, which was tamarind glazed wings. Omg they were savory and crispy! I loved these. For the entree, the bartender recommended some great options, but I finally settled on Kee Mao, which is flattened rice noodles with stir fry beef and vegetables. It was also a very savory dish, with a sweetness to it. Laotian food is very similar to Thai food and I love Thai food. I will not sleep on this restaurant and will be back soon!!

It was pretty quiet in there for a Tuesday at 1:30PM Pho #4: Meat to noodle ratio was acceptable. Broth needed more salt. Summer rolls 6/10: The sauce was off.

Pad Thai 5/10: The dish was sweet which is how you know it's truly catered for Americans. Noodles weren't overcooked. I could've definitely gone higher for the spice level but I was trying to play it safe. I chose 1/5 spice and felt that there was no spice.

We got the crunchy rice with sour pork (naem khao thadaeu), pork shoulder (ping), fried catfish (patod), chicken pad thai (kua mee), and warm coconut milky dessert (bua loy). All the dishes were delicious but a bit more salty than Thai. Feels like a lot of fish sauces in all the dishes. The crunchy rice came with lettuce but ours were not the best lettuce. The fried catfish were nicely fried with a perfect coating. Definitely a dish to get. The pork shoulder is another dish to get. Nicely seasoned with sticky rice. Their version of pad thai is uniquely different than Thai. A bit more sweet but the lime makes it better. Wife wanted to try bua loy dessert. It is a warm sweet dessert that balanced out all the salty flavors of the dishes. Something to try as well. Flavor are still the same. The dishes we order were too much for 2 of us. My only complaint was the restaurant smelled like smoke when we walked in. Not the kind where there was a fire in the kitchen but more like someone smoking in the kitchen?

Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

My friend and I shared the Pad See Ew with beef and the Pla Makham. Both dishes were so good and packed with flavor. We saw some good looking dishes being delivered to other tables and can't wait to return to try them.

The restaurant is fairly small, but there are many tables for guests. That said, even on a mid-week evening, the place was busy with a brief wait. There also appeared to be a steady flow of delivery couriers picking up orders. The staff was friendly and we were seated in less than 10 minutes. We ordered the steamed dumplings for an appetizer and they were very enjoyable. For the main course, I ordered Dancing Pork Belly and my partner ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never had the dish. The food was served hot and although the meal wasn't spicy, it was tasty. The fried rice was also good. The service staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and will return.

Highly praised for it's flavors and excellent execution of Thai food that has become a favorite for many. Coming during dinner time can be very daunting since they don't take reservations and the waiting area is fairly tight, sometimes out the door. Weekday lunch times end at 230pm so better come before 130pm to not feel rushed, lunch traffic is not nearly as packed as dinner. I especially enjoyed the Drunken Noodles and the curry beef, pork is not an option here. The interior is really cozy, a warm traditional wood stained decor that is dimly lit. Kinn Imm is definitely one of the highest rated Thai restaurants in the Rockville area, and sometimes I am surprised that not all people have heard of it yet. Make sure you order the food at your spicy level that you can handle because it can get really too hot to handle fast here. This is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Try Kiin Thai Restaurant soon, you won't regret it and may also recommend it to others too!
