So many restaurants are closed on Monday in Seattle! Fortunately, my friend and I were able to…read morecatch up over lunch at Kin Len Thai Night Bites a couple Mondays ago. PHAD SEE EIW - 16.50 + chicken This is my go-to dish at Thai restaurants since it's always a reliable option. Kin Len was no different. The noodles were soft and chewy, with a nice balance of savory and sweet flavors. They also don't skimp on the chicken or Chinese broccoli, which made this a pretty satisfying portion. BATTERED CHICKEN RED CURRY - 17.75 Wow! I'm not usually a fan of fried foods, but the batter on the chicken was surprisingly light and flaky. The red curry was incredibly savory and aromatic, with a ton of flavor. Even after sitting for about half an hour, the chicken held up pretty well despite becoming a bit soggy. This was incredibly tasty, and I'd highly recommend, especially since it's one of the dishes they're known for. Between the two dishes, this was more than enough food for two people, and I know my friend can eat! We probably would've been OK ordering just the battered chicken red curry, but I'm definitely not complaining about leftovers. The portions and pricing at Kin Len are both very reasonable, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the Fremont area.

If you're a foodie get ready to enjoy every bite!! ( the rice was hard and undercooked) The restaurant is huge and can take big groups without issue. So why 3 stars and not 5? The staff for the most part is amazing and super friendly I ate here two nights in a row and had a wonderful experience both times until I asked to pay tonight and they tried refusing the Amex card which I had paid with the night before without issue. The person became aggressive and Aggravated that I simply requested to pay with the same form of payment I had the day before. The man was supposedly a manager but with his unfriendly nature they should send him back to training and promote one of the actually really nice and wonderful staff. After he relented he threatened me saying I'll never let you pay with that card again I can refuse any form of payment I want. Really disappointing after an otherwise really positive experience. Apparently if you are planning to use Amex pick a different restaurant!!!!

The…read morechicken and rice was delicious and the portions are huge, definitely generous enough to share because we ordered only 2 plates for the 3 of us. One of my favorite parts was actually the wintermelon soup that comes with the meal. It had such a comforting, home cooked quality to it and was the perfect complement to the chicken and rice. The food here has that feeling of traditional Thai home cooking rather than being overly polished or adjusted for a more generic restaurant palate. Everything tasted fresh, comforting and very well prepared. It's the kind of meal that feels simple but incredibly satisfying, especially when you're craving something that tastes homemade. Really enjoyed this spot and would definitely come back for the chicken and rice and that wintermelon soup.

The chicken wings are hot, cripsy, and flavorful. I usually get the pho dac biet and the regular size is a decent serving in terms of noodles and meat. The beef is cut thinly and is tender unlike many places. Only downside is that the price frequently keeps increasing every time I visit here. Went at 5pm on a weekday and there was plenty of seating, but once 6-6:30pm hits, the rush of people come and the wait seems like it could get pretty long since the restaurant is quite small and has few tables.

Not Taurus Ox Everything we had last night was gorgeous - fresh produce handled with care, layered flavors built up with intention, and fun little moments left and right. I believe that everything we ate was prepared by hand by an expert. I think the best surprise of the night was the sausage (I wasn't even gonna order it originally) and the guava martini. The sauces were also amazing and the pork belly. Truly the best meal I've had in a while.

We were able to easily get a table…read more But as the evening went on, we saw more and more people coming in, and eventually there was a line outside the restaurant. So we definitely recommend coming early! The restaurant was not too big, and seating was limited. They had only two pages on the menu--one for drinks and one for food. All the dishes were made with pork. The Soondae Soup with Rice was full of flavor and had plenty of pork. The Pork Noodle Soup had green oil inside, which made it look very healthy and appetizing. It also came with a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk which was delicious! The Pork Jowl Boiled was refreshing and delicious. The dumplings were fresh and filling. The kimchi was crunchy and fresh. We really appreciated that all the food was made in-house. The only downside I would say is that I noticed a fly flying around our table, and it touched the cup I was drinking out of. So I had to switch to a new cup. Luckily, there were plenty of cups and silverware at each table for you to grab and use. Parking was free with nearby street parking.

Service seemed friendly around all the other tables though they didn't talk to me much as I dined alone. Mi Thap Cam (Noodle Combo) - I was shocked at the sheer amount of food. While I can put away food, this had me feeling pretty full which is a good indication of quantity and value. A bed of meats sit on top: flavorful BBQ pork, crispy roast pork, and a juicy duck leg. Tucked away are egg noodles with fresh vegetables and pickled vegetables. My only critique is the roast pork can be crispier, as the skin was on the softer side. Duck and BBQ pork were some of my more flavorful experiences and I've had a lot of Canto BBQ. Mango Coconut - I didn't even get a chance to drink this in store because I was busy devouring the scrumptious meal. I started drinking on my walk to Cap Hill and was very pleased. Sweet mango makes up the majority of the flavor but the coconut makes it refreshing. It's very smooth, blended well, and perfect on a hot day.

I drive to San Francisco or Canada just to get good Asian food. So it's nice to know we have a cc place in Seattle that's pretty good. People were friendly, and I didn't have to wait too long. I took it to go so my honey could enjoy as well. Only thing I didn't enjoy was to find parking on the streets with so many tents/and homeless taking up space. So I had to park a block away where I could find parking. Not convenient when it was to go, and I wanted to get out fast. But that's Seattle for you, or any major city downtown. It's not the restaurants fault. When I was there it seems as they closed early. Fine for me, but I was thinking how about those getting off work and want to try this place. They're missing out on fantastic food. However I believe I heard they changed their hours to close later. I hope so, so more people would enjoy later in the day. Place was clean and pretty large.

We came primarily to enjoy the patio and the view, neither of which disappointed. Sunset on the deck was spectacular, complete with harbor seals swimming nearby. The patio is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room between tables. They've also done a nice job landscaping this area: poppies, cosmos, and nasturtium all bloomed tableside. Having done our research in advance, we got the coconut shrimp with cajun curly fries, crab & pork xiao long bao, and green beans. It all came out fast and *piping* hot. The coconut shrimp was quite good (a little sweet for me but still tasty) and the curly fries reminded me of Jack in the Box (which is a compliment in this case). The xiao long bao were just-okay...I wouldn't be surprised if I learned these were cooked from frozen. The green beans were maybe the best dish of the night; very fresh, savory, and spot-on. The menu is incredibly random and, understandably, very hit-and-miss. I hope they continue to pare down and fine tune as they come into form. Service was fantastic. August, our server, was sweet and funny, very professional and kind. I'd come back to enjoy the view again and have a drink or two! I think the food needs more work, and I hope they get there, because there's a lot of potential.
