Very good sushi. Price to quantity is reasonable. Kinda of hard to find since my gps took me a block away.

Everything we have had has been really great the owners are really nice lots to choose from and some great beers

This place is a little hard to spot, but well worth it!! I've been here twice, and both times it was exceptional. The sushi was fresh and beautifully done - you can tell they care - and tasted great! The other time I went I had wings and Thai, and it was also exceptionally good. I just wish they worked with a delivery service and I would eat it more often. If you're in downtown Valpo and like sushi and/or Thai, definitely worth stopping in! read more

Great food and wonderful service! What a great find in Valpo! Our server was personable and so kind to our family.

From 11-3 Mon-Fri you can get one of 5 choices of their combination lunches for only $13 each. We got the shrimp Pad Thai version w/ medium heat and it was excellent. Each lunch is paired w/4 California Rolls and 3 different Nigiri sushi. The Nigiri was excellent. Also, try the Iced Thai tea it tastes like a dessert. read more

I wanted to wait to review Kin Khao after going a few times and trying different dishes. Now after three times I'm weighing in on the quality of Thai food. Good Asian food in a non-Asian city is hard to come by. So I was thrilled to hear from friends that a new Thai place opened up. I've tried three dishes - pad see eiw, spicy basil, Vietnamese pho, and pad ki mao. The standouts were the bowl of pho and the pad ki mao. I've also tried the tom kha and tom yum soups. The pad see eiw was really good but compared to the pad ki mao (which is similar) my preference was for the later because of flavor. Both of these have the thicker noodles but they differ in vegetables and somewhat in seasoning. Being from the western coast, here's my take on the pho. I'm always nervous when Asian restaurants serve dishes that are out of their wheelhouse. I'm not saying they don't know what they are doing but it's really best to stay in one's lane of expertise. But the good news on the pho is its outstanding! The broth and vegetables are phenomenal and really capture Vietnamese noodle cuisine well. The soups were very good. Now keep in mind they are different than western soups. The broth is lighter with meat and vegetables. The tom yum could have been a bit more sour but the aroma was fantastic. However, my favorite soup was the tom kha. The coconut milk offered a bit more creaminess and the addition of mushrooms was delicious. The owners are really trying to make a go of this so I would be patient. I would encourage people to come a few times, try a few dishes before coming to a conclusion. I love that our city is growing in an ethnicity that is reflected in cuisine! read more

This place is tiny, but do not let that turn you away because the food is awesome!!! I had the pot stickers. They are the best I've had in this area. My friend got sushi, and she said it was delicious. We shared some Crab Rangoon which was also delicious. There is more than one menu and it is huge. So much to choose from. Servers were all friendly. Don't miss out. read more

Like a restaurant for crazy people! Constantly disorganized. Frenetic energy. I have tried this place on multiple occasions. On one instance, dining in, my husband and I waited for our meals for two hours! Yes, you read that correctly. Mind you, this is a restaurant that seats no more than maybe 15 people. I have since attempted to do carry out here. It is also crazy when trying to do that. When you call on the phone you either get the answering machine or in the rare case that someone answers, they are out of breath And clearly struggling to maintain their composure. Wait times for pick up average around one hour. Do yourself a favor and order from Bangkok Thai. read more

Excellent pad Thai. Obviously it's tough to mess it up however it's definitely one of the better ones. Great flavor, not dry and a decent size for a decent price. Hopefully drive throug soon to get some more read more

Tried this place out and was impressed for where it is located. The location is a little weird (basement of an old college frat house) but the food was great. The sushi chef was comical as he serenaded us in early 2000's songs and joked with customers. The sushi was good quality considering it was in Indiana and the servings were nice sized portions. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The Vietnamese Pho was "phonomenal "!!! The broth was the best I've ever experienced. The tuna was cooked to perfection and was wonderful. I'm looking forward to another extraordinary meal again. read more

Kin Khao is spot on. Delicious food and affordable. Huge menu with several different types of Asian cuisine. The sushi was high grade and great to sit at the sushi bar and watch it prepared. Service could have been a little better, my only complaint. read more

Kin Khao Thai - Thai Iced Tea - Thai Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Everything was just ok. We ordered the fried calamari & it was a little tough & didn't seem like it was house breaded. Also got the chicken wings with "Thai herbs"? Aka spicy breading? Also didn't seem like it was house breaded. We also got soft spring rolls which were good but very heavy on the lettuce & a glass noodle salad which was pretty tasty, however we ordered everything with no spice (since mild spice was not an option & we had never eaten there before) but the chicken & the noodle salad were both quite spicy. read more

Great place, quaint, personable, awesome food. Recommendation- try the pineapple fried rice. Also the cold Thai tea is amazing. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients plus each ingredient stands out on its own. The staff are very friendly & helpful, and the owners check in to see that your expectations are met. We are already planning our next visit. read more

Great service, wonderful sushi and the outside only has a few tables but is a beautiful and peaceful experience. It is a little hidden off the road which makes it even more special. We will be back. read more

From their crab rangoon, to their sushi rolls, to their curry, everything is always fresh and flavorful!! They have a little outdoor patio for the summer as well and I'm pretty sure I've seen dogs there before if you're looking for that. My go-to order is the Yellow Curry, spice level 2. It is hearty and delicious! read more

Thai and Sushi are my absolute favorites and this new little gem of a restaurant did not disappoint!! Service was fast, prices were reasonable and the food was incredible! The curry was the best I've ever had and the shrimp was cooked to perfection! Can't wait to return so I can try something else!! Only negative is no liquor license yet so hopefully that goes through quickly and they have some unique craft cocktails! read more

Our first visit here completely surpassed any expectations we had. The atmosphere was small and cozy and the staff is so welcoming. We ordered sushi, pho, crab fried rice, and curry. It was the first day they were serving sushi and the sushi was delicious. We got the #10 and #12. The pho was refreshing and delicious and it came with a bunch of fresh veggies to add to the broth. The table also got a couple of thai iced teas which were creamy and sweet. We had a a great time and will absolutely be back. read more

Kin Khao Thai - Thai Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

Inaccessible for anyone who cannot do steep stairs. I tried it once, but cannot do it again.

Really tasty food options but they lose a star because I waited for an hour for a sushi burrito and my friend ate her entire meal before mine even got started at the sushi station. That should have been communicated upon ordering. They started it after all other tickets were in because it takes a while to make. I've been in the service industry for a long time and I've never seen that done. If someone orders a well done steak you wouldn't make it after every other order was in because it takes the longest to cook. read more

The best pad Thai you'll ever have in your natural-born life. Every time I eat their shrimp pad Thai, I get a little tingly in my booty cheeks (this happens every time I eat something good, don't worry). One of the waiters there is pretty lame, though, so one star off for that. It really is a shame not a lot of people go there. If you drove down Lincolnway before, and you passed Kim Khao Thai Sushi without stopping, you should be ashamed of yourself. Absolutely phenomenal. This goes beyond a chef's kiss, this deserves a chef's make out session with a happy ending. 4/5 read more

New place and looking forward to the sushi next time I visit. I had their addicting Crab Rangoon which was amazing as well as their Chicken Katsu. I'm very picky about my chicken and my chicken was cut perfect, cooked well and the Katsu sauce was the perfect cherry on top. The staff was quick, efficient, and inviting. A very warm cheery atmosphere and definitely worth the money! read more

Overall, the food was very good. There are lots of options in both the sushi and the Thai menu. A bit pricey compared to other similar restaurants but no complaints about any of the food as far as taste. The roll I ordered was definitely bigger than rolls at other sushi restaurants though. The service was a bit slow, there was only one server working when I went. But he was very nice and helpful. The interior could definitely use some work but we will be back for the food regardless. read more

My fiance and I love this spot. The food is excellent. It's authentic and homemade. Give this a chance because the owners are great people.

My favorite Thai/sushi spot in Valpo--always delicious and fresh. Love the Shumai, nigiri, yum woon sen, red curry and everything else we've ordered. read more

Great food all around. My 8 year old daughter loved the sushi and me and my wife loved the Thai food. Very reminiscent of our trip to Thailand for its authenticity. Staff was very friendly. It's our new go to spot for both Thai and sushi. read more

Great sushi, the dishes can be a little spicy. If you don't like spicy food let them know, they will tone it down.

We Love this place. Very friendly owners and staff. Food is fantastic. Been here several times and keep wanting to come back. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. From Soups to Sushi to Pad Thai dishes. Plenty of great food choices to choose from. Very cute cozy place in the basement of a large home. read more

Best Thai in Valparaiso. I have to admit I'm a Thai snob and this place did a pretty good job. The Pad Thai is one of the better versions I've tried. I'm disappointed they don't do a Pad See Ew of some sort but maybe I didn't stare at the menu hard enough. Honestly it's a must try if you like Thai. read more

The food is always fantastic! I have been here multiple times and each time the service is great. I typically order a California roll, one of their specialty rolls, and a side of fried rice. The fried rice was delicious and had a larger portion considering it was a side and the price. The rolls tasted fresh and were presented beautifully with decoration. I have also tried the steamed gyoza which I will order now every time I visit because it is also delicious. Try this place if you haven't yet!! read more

Great place, loved the food and atmosphere. It's always great to see veteran owned businesses. read more

FINALLY, Valpo got it right this time with an Asian restaurant that actually serves Authentic Thai food that tastes like your Thai best friends' grandmother's home cooked meals. This place is very hidden in Lincolnway, but there is a sign to the right if you are heading towards downtown Valpo and a driveway that leads you to the parking lot. The ambience is OK; like the bright colors but not a place to go to for fine dining; HOWEVER definitely a place to go to if you are craving Thai food or Maki rolls or if you are sick with a cold, they have delicious Tom yum soup that is a bit sour and spicy that makes your throat and nasal passages feel better. The yellow curry and pad Thai were very tasty. I like how all the flavors blended well together and even tastes better the day after. Portions are shareable with 2-3 people depending how much you eat. I had the Phoenix cooked maki roll which was pretty tasty too. Not sure if the place is BYOB or if they serve alcohol. Prices are reasonable; service was excellent...this place needs to stay in Valpo so I'll have a favorite local Thai place instead of driving to Chicago; so please check it out for yourself and tell your friends! read more

Kin Khao Thai - Chicken pad Thai, Phoenix Cooked Maki Roll, yellow chicken curry and Tom Yum soup with Steamed Tofu - Thai Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

I had the best Thai food here!! I ordered a yellow Thai curry and it was awesome. Would recommend it to everyone!!

A cozy little local dive that delivers the goods. Nothing too off the beaten path here. Just standard Thai fare.

My husband ate at the restaurant last week and enjoyed the quaint setting and food. He was so excited for me to try the food as we just moved from Indianapolis and travel all over the world eating wonderful food From various cultures. We decided to order carry out after a long work week. We ordered Thai soup;, appetizers and two entrees. I requested Thai Hot for the Pad Thai with chicken. The entree came at no spice and with little to no chicken. I really did not think the food was good. I did think the soup was the best. I really wanted to like the food after eating in DC, Toronto, Chicago and Indy but it really was not good, With that said, I was wiling to try it again- maybe an off night. So I called the owner- I wanted to let him know the issues because I truly miss eating Thai food and want it to work. He was less than proactive in trying to fix our issue. He asked to call us back. He did call us back but asked if we could come back to the restaurant to get our order. It is now to late to drive back. He kept stating that he submitted the order to the cooks correctly. He kept arguing about how correct he and the restaurant was. If had tried to fix the issue or be polite, then all would be good. We will not be back- the owner is rude. read more

DELICIOUS! This Thai restaurant is as good if not better than any in Chicago. We had the Basil fried fried, Pad thai with tofu and a curry dish. All were expertly prepared, authentic in taste, spicy the way we wanted it spiced, and filled with fresh ingredients. Dishes were also beautifully presented. Will go back regularly. read more

My son and I ate there this evening. Crab Rangoon's are fantastic. Shrimp pot stickers amazing and we both ordered pad Thai with chicken which we ate until stuffed because it was so good! Service was excellent and very warm and friendly! My son commented on how clean the bathroom was too. Can't say enough about what a great experience this was! read more
