    Asian girlfriend approved, she sucked every bit of fish off that entire fish fried. I tried some of the meat also, so good. GIVE IT A TRY! It isn't scary, it's goooood. I got the beef basil, tasted good and safe for any new Thai food indulgent. The vibes are 10/10 and the lighting is great. If you're coming on a tinder date - you're good girl. The lights and vibes are non fluorescent and flattering. Service was quick and everyone attentive to our water, to the point where I definitely felt hydrated.

    Basil beef

    The food was okay. The items we ordered definitely didn't taste authentic. We ordered the chicken and rice which was pretty good - it tasted legit like a large fresh McDonald's chicken nugget. The broth it came with was really good. The basil beef was def an Americanized version of the dish. The restaurant would be considered a "hole in the wall" type place. Service was okay. Overall, not for me.

    Great food! I'm in love with the fried chicken khao soi. The broth is thick, satisfying and whenever I took a slurp, it felt like being hugged. The fried noodle ball gave an added contrast that's elevated this dish to an even better experience. They have quite a selection of Thai beers, not just the usual singha. We got a couple of Thai craft beers (in cans); one was a sticky rice lager and the other was banana wheat beer and both were refreshingly good. There was a short line when we got there, but we didn't have to wait long since we were ok with the bar seats. I'd love to come back to try other dishes. Or eat more Khao soi. lol.

    Fried Shrimp Wonton
    Deanne L.

    4.5 stars. Impressed during my first visit and want to come back for a full on dinner. Stopped by for a solo lunch while in the area and ordered papaya salad, tom yum fries, and shrimp wontons. My favorites were the Tom yum fries and wontons. Never had anything like the fries before and it was perfectly seasoned. The shrimp wontons were nice and crispy; not too much wrapper either. The papaya salad was good but I felt like it was missing something... can't put my finger on it tho. The server did say there was another similar salad that was "funkier" as he described it and I wonder if that's what I'm looking for or maybe a higher spice level. Willing to try it next time. Service was good, no complaints at all. I loved the aesthetic of the shop, a lot of culture stuff. Will def be back

    Khao soi
    Mac B.

    Wow! Quaint Thai street eats place right around the corner from the North Park sign. Service was incredibly friendly and the food was amazing. The basil beef was so fragrant and delicious and the Khao Soi was pretty darn good too. Not my personal favorite Khao Soi ever, but it'll definitely scratch the itch.

    Went here for Lunch and got a table fast. They have outdoor seating too so we chose that. I had their DRUNKEN MAMA and my wife had the TOM YUM PORK RIBS SOUP. My DRUNKEN Mamma was good but I wish I had other options for noodles coz the noodles are similar to those Mi Goreng instant noodles, this Drunken Mamma has mixed Seafood like Shrimps, scallops, and Mussels, this has a good flavor but not a fan of the noodles and maybe a few more seafood would be nice. My wife had the TOM YUM PORK RIBS, very nice sourness on the soup but the ribs were kinda small, maybe my wife and I have been dining at similar places with Pork ribs and we are used to always having bigger ribs in other restaurants, but we like their Tom Yum broth. Parking is kinda hard, we park on the side street. Service was great, and the place is very clean. Food is just okay.

    Got to try this Thai Restaurant on a Friday night. Located in North Park next to other trendy businesses, street parking can be difficult. Pros: -their Tom yum wings were outstanding and the best thing that I had. I would come back just to order their wings!!!! We also tried the son in law wings- they were good but I think the Tom yum wings were the star of the show. -papaya salad was refreshing. We got it spicy. I didn't think it had too much heat. -friendly staff -lots of fun things to look around at in their restaurant Cons: -n/a

    Thai Fried Rice with beef
    Tania T.

    We came by for dinner on a Sunday night. While the parking lot was busy, there was no wait in the restaurant, and we were promptly seated and served with the menu and drinks. The price is steep for a Thai restaurant, and that alone I can overlook, but the appetizer's depiction, price, and portion seem a little unbalanced. We ordered the pork spare ribs, the mango and shrimp ceviche with crispy wontons, beef Thai fried rice, and a crispy pork pad see ew. Don't get me wrong, all the food tasted delicious! But the portion of the appetizers was very disappointing. The portion of pork spare ribs was too small, and given that most of the pieces were bones, it was disappointing. So we added the ceviche, again, while the taste was excellent, sweet, spicy, and sour, it was so good! But the problem was that the ceviche came with only five pieces of fried wonton skins to enjoy it with. There is an imbalance between the food and the price. Then the beef Thai fried rice: the meat itself was odd. It was cooked just enough, but the pieces of meat were not bite-sized, pale, and some were tough to chew. The fried rice itself had great flavor, but the rice pieces were still 'wet' and stuck together; the rice should have been fried longer until the grains separated a little more. The pad see ew was great! No complaints there, I love that you can choose the crispy pork as protein for the pad see ew, not a lot of Thai restaurants do that. Also, kudos to the waitstaff: when they saw us come in with two kids, they offered a high chair and immediately gave them their kids' utensils and water. My girl got a Hello Kitty plate, and my boy got a Doraemon plate. It's the little things that count! Overall, we had a great time here, ate quality food, and enjoyed the lovely decor inside.

    Son in law wings
    Tina S.

    This place is super cute especially with their decor of reminiscent of a Thai street eater. The wooden panels to the front, to the colorful lottery tickets in the front and snacks makes this a very quiant food street. Food wise the most noteworthy dish I want to highlight is the son in law wings! The wings are amazing and delicious especially woth the unique combinations of the tamarind sauce.

    Lenk ribs- Tender, Juicy, Delicious. A definite must order!
    Michelle F.

    Seriously don't know how I haven't reviewed Kin Len. I have eaten here numerous times over the last five years. Its so good you can't wait to bring friends here. Kin Len is not your typically Thai food restaurant. They do have dishes like: Pas Thai, Pad See Ew , and Tom yum and Tom kha soup. However, their menu offers so much more than that. Some of my go to's are: Lenk Ribs- the spicy lime sauce/broth make this a fo to. Basil Beef- full of flavor and the basil makes it extra special Tom yum wings- these are just fun and different Sous-vide chicken & rice - more like comfort food. Looks plain but taste delicious and once again this broth is delicious. I love that they have Chang Beer, and various other Thai beers. The service is mostly good. The restaurant can get pretty busy and it's on the smaller side.

    Sea of Tom Yum - good flavor but mostly rice
    Sydney H.

    Ordered delivery through uber eats - overall, liked the flavors and food but felt it wasn't worth the value. The seafood tom yum stir fry had great flavor and fresh seafood, but it was a really small portion for the price. Same thing for the mushroom dish - it tasted good, but tiny amount of mushrooms. Both containers were 80% rice. Also, I ordered medium heat and neither was even remotely spicy. I liked the food but wouldn't order again due to the small amount if actual food included.

    This spot was saved on places I should try, and I'm glad I had the chance to visit. I was lucky enough to find metered parking right in front. I sat outside, and the interior was decorated beautifully. It really made me feel like I was back in Thailand. The server was great. She went over the popular items and was very attentive, constantly refilling our waters. I ordered the Tom Yum Wings for $12.95. They were perfectly dry seasoned, and each bite was packed with flavor. A must order and easily my favorite dish. I also had the Drunken Noodles with Chicken for $18.95. They were good, but the wings stood out the most. I love Thai food and would definitely return for those wings if I'm in the area.

    Khao Soi Noodle Crab Fried Rice [Khao Pad Poo]
    Thi Anh Thu N.

    Street parking around here is super crowded, so it was kind of a hassle to find a spot. The restaurant is also pretty noisy, so it's not the best place if you're looking for a quiet dining experience. We can't give more stars because we honestly didn't like most of the food. The curry noodles, which were supposed to be one of their signature dishes, were disappointing. They added way too much curry powder, and it left a bitter aftertaste. The fried noodles also got soggy really fast. Overall, not what we expected.

The curry was flavorful and not too spicy. The beef ribs were good as well, just not what we expected and was saucey. The papaya salad was decent. I felt like there was some flavor missing in it. We were both filled at the end of it. Overall not bad, a bit overpriced, and I feel like you can get more bang for your buck at a normal Vietnamese/ Lao restaurant. It was worth a try though!

The two items that she did recommend didn't really sound appealing so I went with Pad See Ew with mock duck. That's one of my go to dishes at a Thai restaurant. I asked not to have any spice level added to my food, but the food came out and was just generally lacking flavor. It was very bland and even though there was a generous portion of vegetables in the dish the mock duck was super mushy. All the places I've ever been to it's sautéed crispy. Also, the the noodles were all stuck together. Like if you put noodles in water to let it boil, but you don't stir them and they just boil like that in a clump. The restaurant was very cute inside. I would be open to trying it again just because I've heard so many good things that I can't believe this is their standard experience.
