They asked how hot from 1-5.... I answered 6 of course and the food came out a bit hot which was great. Really liked our seafood choices and they did not skimp one bit on size! Definitely will visit again when in the area. read more

Had seafood hotpot special. simple and beautiful presentation with the vibrant reds and greens of the peppers. chose level 3 of 5 for spice -- for me, the perfect balance (usually like it spicy, but have learned to respect Thai spicing) lots of seafood, including shrimp, fish, squid, scallops, shellfish. so fragrant, so delicious. friendly service. great value. read more

Wonderful staff, so friendly and the food is fabulous. Different levels of spicy but we like it hot and they deliver. Can't say enough about how great it is. read more

We ate there last week and our food seemed to taste better than before. Service was great and helpful. It is the best Thai in the Auburn and surrounding area. read more

My go to Thai restaurant! Soooo good! I especially love the pad de sew. The service is always quick and genuine.

Good food, the pad thai was a little too sweet but the potstickers were good and the mango curry. Service was great. The restaurant is very clean. I'll be back to check out more options. read more

The food is amazing! Service is great as well. We loved the Tom kha soup and pad Thai.

I stopped in for a take out on a whim, ordered the lunch special Basil Chili chicken! OMG IT WAS THE BEST!! I'm going back asap read more

This place is great super nice people friendly and helpful. Takeout is great. Fast service. Quality food.

Karin Thai is great! Why??? Well, it is very clean with simple decor, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. We had the chicken Larb and a wide rice noodle dish with veggies/Thai basil, and enjoyed them both equally. Our food was delivered quickly. We would recommend this restaurant. read more

My wife and I ate lunch at Karin Thai today for the first time and were very impressed. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant in a strip mall and from the outside appearance you'd probably drive by and not give it another thought. That would be a mistake and a bad decision on your part if your looking for really good Thai food. The decor inside is simple, but the food is complex, rich, and full of flavor. The menu is diverse offering many of your typical Thai dishes, but then surprises you with items like rib eye steak, Thai Pork Spare Ribs, Spicy Chili Catfish, and Salmon Red Curry to mention a few. Most of the menu items have a vegetarian option. Service was excellent, and the hostess/waitress was friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the Panang Curry, and I ordered the Green Avocado Curry. Both were ordered with chicken and medium heat. Both dishes came out in a reasonable amount of time, piping hot, and freshly made. We could smell the aroma drifting off both dishes. Both dishes were beautifully plated. My Green Avocado Curry had what appeared to be a whole avocado in the dish and was loaded with chicken. My wife's Panang Curry was loaded with chicken as well. We shared both dishes, and the heat was perfect for us. Too many times I've had Thai food where the heat either overwhelmed the flavor of the dish, or the chef just plain substituted heat for flavor. Not here. Both dishes were full of flavor, and the heat accentuated what were already extremely delicious entrees. We compare Karin Thai very favorably to Auburn Thai Garden which is our go to Thai restaurant in Auburn. However, Karin Thai has just earned it's place along side our favorite, and we look forward to trying many of the other dishes on the menu. I don't give out five star's easily, but Karin Thai earned it. We'll be back. read more

Pretty good! I'm glad they're there. So far things have been great we really enjoy them.

The food is really good, but can no linger can go there. We have a large group of people that have lunch in the shopping center you are located in every Tuesday. Can't understand why you are open on Monday when 95% or the center is closed and closed on Tuesdays when more things are open. Very sad and disappointed. read more

Well it was Christmas Day, we're on the way to Tahoe and McDonalds is closed. Glad we found this little gem. The food was delicious and fresh, waitress was super nice though she was the only person working the whole restaurant. The dishes also came out pretty fast. Would definitely stop here again. read more

I was a big fan of the previous restaurant star Thai was yummy, and I almost feel guilty for saying Karin Thai is better! It's fresh, delicious and the staff is friendly. I always order the same thing Phanaeng green curry. Theirs has a sweet yet spicy coconut base. I ordered a 2 and it was just the right amount of spice that you can still taste the base. I had chicken in mine. It has a sweet green bean that was tender and added so much flavor. My husband loves the pad Thai. We order shrimp and chicken. The shrimp did have the tails on, I would ask next time for them to removed. The restaurant itself is clean. The service was attentive but no one was hovering over us. ( always a plus in just book.) water was always filled, and he asked about 3 times if we needed anything. In my opinion it's the best Thai restaurant in auburn. read more

This is the best Thai restaurant we've been to in a long time it is our favorite food! We couldn't leave a bite of on our plate!!! it's a must restaurant quality quantity great customer service! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

The food and service was pretty good. The server was very friendly. It was busy, which is always a good sign. The restaurant is a bit smaller than expected. I think the heater was broken because it was really cold inside. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Everyone had their coats on. read more

The pad Thai was amazing, definitely look forward to trying out the other items on the menu.

Went with my family a few weeks ago for dine in, Everything we tried was delicious! From the soup, to the entrees, even the rice was cooked to perfection. Also just found out they offer online ordering from their website for takeout! I will definitely be going back! read more

FAVE new Thai restaurant in the area!! Quality meat, delicious sauces, fresh veg. Staff were super cool and kind too. Go today!!

Love this place, food so good! Different and lighter than most Thai restaurants. Staff is great!

Great food, very authentic, would eat again any day. Picked spicy level 2 and 3 for the dishes, it was perfect (spicy and not overwhelming). Service also great! read more

Yuck. Stay away. All you hear is there microwave starting and stopping. Not a good sign.

Best Thai food in Auburn! The basil chicken is fantastic, and i really enjoy the roti curry appetizer. Portions are huge!

Food was delicious and staff was very friendly. Only recommendation is when ordering your level of heat, take it down one notch of what you'd think on the scale. I love spicy food, so it wasn't an issue. Others, could be too spicy. read more

Food is so delicious!!! Ordered Thai fishcake (appetizer), mango curry, basil chilli pork and pad thai for sharing... all had good portions and taste was perfect! Enjoyed the service too. Spiciness level option ranges 1 to 5. Got a decent kick of spice at 3, loved it! read more

Delicious Thai food. Had the spicy cashew chicken and avocado curry. Definitely recommend this place

We travel a lot between Sacramento and Colfax and are always looking for good take-out on our drive up. We just found Karin Thai in Auburn and now have our new go-to take-out place! We had Chicken Pad Thai and red curry. The Pad was very good and my wife loved the red curry. We'll be back and love supporting this small local business. read more

This is the most delicious Thai food I've ever eaten. It's so fresh and everything is cooked to perfection. We had the satay, green beans, shrimp salad, pad Thai,and a sweer sour salmon special. All wonderful!! The service is amazing and the whole restaurant is beautifully done, very clean and welcoming. I've been 5 times and can't get enough!! read more

For those of you who dont know this used to be Star Thai. However, this is just as good if not better. If you were considering giving this a try you should. The owners are amazing and super nice there, food comes out quickly, and the flavor is amazing. We had the pad thai and curry and it was amazing. And oh my God the fried bananas with ice cream . Give this a try and get some awesome food! read more
