    Shoutout to my girl, Leena, for recommending this restaurant when I was visiting. I went with my girls here, and the food was delicious. I ordered their basil fried rice, and it was well-seasoned. Also, I enjoyed their basil strawberry lemonade, and it was refreshing. The waiter was kind and professional to us, and there were decent seating areas. If you visit Tucson and look a Thai place, I'd recommend you this one out!

    Chicken Satay

    Tried the new Kin Dee Thai, located in the Williams Center where Monkey Burger used to be. The restaurant is clean, open, inviting, and surprisingly (to me!) busy on a Wednesday afternoon. My favorite dining companion (my hub doesn't count because he is not an adventuresome eater) and I were looking forward to something new and we were not disappointed. We started with the Kin Dee Satay, presented as four glasses of the most tender and tasty chicken on sticks, peanut sauce, a pickled cucumber/carrot/parsnip? salad and toast soldiers. For her entree, my pal had the braised beef curry, delish and so tender. Puff pastry pieces accompanied, perfect for sopping up the luscious peanut sauce. I was torn between two favorites: Tom Kha soup and Shrimp Pad Thai. I went with the Pad Thai and it was excellent. Tom Kha, see you next time.

    Curry puffs with vegetables

    Excellent service and excellent food! This is one of my favorite Thai food restaurants in Tucson. I really enjoyed the curry that I got the spice could be improved. However, the flavor was immaculate and the beef was cooked to perfection. The mango Matcha presentation was outstanding. the staff is always super friendly and this is a regular for us. I would recommend the curry puffs as the flavor is sweet and savory. Give this place a try.

    This place was a lot bigger inside than expected. I got the ube matcha which was very delicious, and I am picky about my matcha drinks. The food was just ok. I got fried shrimp and one of the pieces still had batter on it, so I couldn't eat it. Personally, we wouldn't come back for the food but maybe for the drinks.

    Ok, I am super critical of Thai restaurants that claim to be authentic. I was able to spend several weeks in Thailand and finding something that isn't over sweetened and Americanized is hard. That being said, this place is very very close to I enjoyed chicken basil. Was only slightly sweetened compared to what I'm used to. Also it was extremely flavorful. The servers were awesome and explained things to everyone who had questions. I sat at their bar for ease. They have a very cute outdoor seating area and I love the mix of desert and Thai vibe they have going. I think it's very well done.

    Crab fried rice
    Meredith A.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and I finally got the chance. I sat at the bar with a friend and tried several menu items. The bar attendants were friendly and the food came out quickly. It's a good place to watch sports for those who are into that kind of thing. The night I was there they had several TVs tuned into different events. I had the crab fried rice, curry puffs, and mango sticky rice. It was a tough decision because there were several things on the menu I wanted to try, plus their really cool-sounding drinks. The fried rice was so delicious, and a large portion, so I got to take some home. The curry puffs had such a great flavor and would be filling on their own if you were up for a smaller portion. The mango sticky rice was sweet yet not too sugary, the rice had just the right amount of sugar and the mango supplied the rest! I'm looking forward to returning to try more menu items soon!

    I loooove Thai but just haven't found THE place in Tucson yet. There are a couple of "solid" offerings in town (including their sister restaurant Tuk Tuk) but not rave-worthy like I've had in Chgo or Phx... until now. Kin Dee's family story is well represented by Chelsea and other reviewers so I'll just dive in. The venue itself is above-norm, approaching casual elegance vs typical SE Asian touristy. The wait time to order during peak times, as others have flagged, is long but tolerable. Fortunately, food delivery is prompt and absolutely delicious. We got the Khao Soi Braised Beef #23 and the Garlic Pork w/ Thai Style Omelette #39. The braised beef was ample for the serving and ridiculously tender, albeit with a few fatty edges. The broth is also curry-based which was a persuasive factor to motivate me away from my normal faves: green or yellow curry (I love that spicy/coconut-milk combo). The garlic pork was even more ample in protein and was just as much a feast for the palate as for the eyes. The (naturally colored) blue rice and whipped egg were great accompaniments to the lightly sauced if slightly dry (lean) pork. We washed everything down with a bottle of house cabernet (the vineyard was not memorable Lol) but at $20, it was reasonably priced. We took some of the garlic pork to-go so that we could enjoy their dessert of the day (not on the menu so just ask) mango sticky rice! At $9 it too was priced within reason. The mango was excellent - a whole, sliced, ripe, no bruises, yet still firm mango (the decisive factor so often missed) and the rice was just the right texture and (equally crucial) warmed! Notes: Parking is free/easy in this medium-sized strip mall. Although on the higher pricing end, Kin-Dee remains a good Thai dinner buy. Also, any dish that isn't otherwise pictured with rice (but ought to come with it, such as Tom Kha) will cost extra for that side. Finally, be mindful that tax is included into the "sub total" that you are given for tip calculations.

    Mango sticky rice
    Cindy N.

    The interior will beautiful! Lots of lights and open space. And polite servers! A new Thai place in town with a more limited meal that appears less customizable than other Thai places, BUT with a try. When I say less customizable, I mean that I don't see spice level or protein adjustments mentioned on the menu, unlike at other Thai places. Thai tea and coconut water drinks were excellent. Refreshing and not overly sweet. If you like sweeter drinks, maybe it's not for you. The Garlic Shrimp rice dish was perfectly flavored with blue rice. Definitely will get again. The only surprise here was the shrimp itself was not crispy, but the flavors are there. The Shrimp Pad Thai was on point. The flavors you want from a Thai place are here for sure! The Mango Sticky Rice desert is the perfect balance of sweet mangos with cooked sticky rice and a coconut sauce to bring the dish together nicely.

    Came here on a Friday night and was surprised to be seated right away. They have a wall that can open up to the patio and they had it open since the weather was nice. It's important to note that there is a cigar bar located next door. With the wall open at allowed for the smell of strong cigar smoke to enter the building. Those on the patio eating were making comments about it as well. Smell is important when it comes to food and this made for a less than desirable dining experience. We started with the curry puffs which came out much smaller than they appear in the picture on the menu. But the flavor was great. The chicken satay tasted good as well, but was also small compared to other Thai places. I also ordered the Kruah Gai noodle which was tasty. Overall the food tasted great. I just wish the cigar smoke wasn't overwhelming and the portions on the appetizers were larger.

    Cool newer Thai spot on the east side of town that features a unique menu of dishes that I haven't seen at the other Thai restaurants in the area. There are options for small plates and for main entrees (the portion sizes for the mains are big!) as well as interesting drinks besides the standard. We shared the love triangle tortilla pockets - super flavorful, well-seasoned mix of meat/seafood; reminds me of a flattened version of an egg roll. For my main, I had the crab fried rice which has big chunks of lump crab meat - a bit on the saltier side, but pretty good. My husband had the garlic pork with Thai style omelet which comes with the Anchan flower rice which he enjoyed. Overall a satisfying meal and there are other dishes that I'd be intrigued to come back and try!

    Panang Braised Beef Curry
    Megan E.

    Good Thai spot! Their menu is relatively small with items that I consider "elevated" dishes. There's a handful of rice dishes with a couple curry and noodle options. We had the Pad Thai Shrimp and the Panang Braised Beef Curry, both of which exceeded our expectations. Presentation is beautiful though! Service was friendly once we were seated; however, there were a few parties that walked in at once and no hostess to be seen so we all sat awkwardly on the couch not knowing who to check in with.

    Chicken pad Thai
    Megan M.

    First timer! I've heard so much about this restaurant online so my friends and I stopped here after Tucson festival of books because we were starving! I recommend sharing the yum (avocado) salad because it's a big portion but honestly all dishes seem to be big portions! I wish the chicken pad Thai came with some lime. Overall very delicious and I can't wait to come back!

    Was in the area on a business trip, and found this place on yelp. Ordered the pho dac biet and an…read moreorder of shrimp spring rolls. Soup for the dac biet was a bit on the lighter side, but there were plenty of ingredients and lots of pho noodles. The shrimp spring rolls were HUGE, and it paired perfectly with the provide peanut sauce. Good service and good pricing considering the area. However the restaurant is a bit hidden in the corner of the plaza, but can also be accessed through the next door Asian supermarket (Lee Lee International Supermarket). Worth checking it out when in the area. Come and support your local small businesses!

    My favorite Vietnamese food in Tucson in terms of the food itself…read more My favorites here: #16 Seasoned Julienned taro root with vermicelli noodles, pickled daikon and the typical vietnamese herbs etc and sweet soy sauce. It comes with fried tofu typically but they let you exchange the tofu with a couple of their delicious vietnamese crispy rice paper egg rolls that are stuffed with deliciously seasoned tofu (#14 on the menu) and that's my favorite way to order it. Mixing all of it together is heaven. This is by far my favorite here! I find that I generally really like taro- all parts of the plant! The root as served in this restaurant and in Thai desserts, the leaves in filipino laing and the stalk (elephant ear stalk) in vietnamese Canh Chua soup. #20 Fried rice noodles dish (ask for the crispy option!) . This one became quite expensive recently but when I had it in the past it was delicious. Definitely get the crispy version! #14: Those vietnamese crispy rice paper egg rolls that are stuffed with deliciously seasoned tofu are so good. They let you get them a la carte but the full plate comes with the sauce and herbs. I get them as part of #16 as described above so it has the sauce and herbs in that dish as well. I really love that they have a vegetarian and vegan menu and that they have the vegan sweet soy sauce available in place of fish sauce for that menu. The restaurant is attached to Lee Lee international supermarket which is an absolute must visit in my opinion for international food lovers and people who want to learn about world cuisines. It's a great place to find international ingredients that are not easily found elsewhere. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!
