    Thai Iced Tea
    Sadie S.

    just didn't hit the mark for me. NOMd: - tom yum. this was not good something was very off - pork belly. crispy and tender with a nice dipping sauce - chicken satay. kind of a curry flavor that i didn't care for but the peanut sauce was decent not too nutty - mee gati. this was so yummy like a curry - thai tea. not my fav service, etc.: our server was nice. it was moody which i like and the lamp shades were cool.

    Sorry to say, this was mediocre, from the chewy chicken hidden within various noodle dishes to mostly forgettable shrimp summer rolls and variable levels of service at this noisy restaurant. The best part is that it's across from the Guthrie Theater so if you want acceptable Thai before your show, this will be OK (and plz make reservations if pre-show). I did try a side order of veggies and those were perfectly done (which saved them from a 2-star review). Note: Spice levels can be aggressive so ask.

    We made reservations to eat here before a show at the Guthrie and we were sure glad we did. This is a small place and gives a cozy eating experience. The ceilings are high, the decor is attractive. The service was excellent. We were seated and a server quickly asked what we'd like to drink and brought our drinks out. We ordered our food and my soup arrived. We didn't have to wait long for anything. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The curry was spicy, the vegetables were crisp and delicious. We had a really great experience and would definitely come back.

    Service and ambience was good, pretty packed restaurant. Food I got was ok. I have had much better Thai. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Disappointed in my meal, not sure if I would go back and try something else. The others in my party enjoyed their meals. Spring rolls were tasty, portions were good.

    Randomly decided to visit Kindee Thai for the first time on a weekend and got seated quickly. I love not having to make reservations in advance and being able to get seated immediately. The staff was very efficient with us as we were in a hurry and they got everything to us promptly. We started our meal with cream cheese wontons and these were delightful, I especially enjoyed the tough of jam inside the wonton. I chose to order a curry dish while my boyfriend got the pad see ew. We both enjoyed our dishes and felt full and satisfied. The ambiance was nice and clean and the staff was very friendly.

    Cute space to eat at prior to the Guthrie theater! We were craving Thai food and decided to try a new place that was closer to the theater vs going to Sawatdee. Kindee was cutely decorated and the staff were very friendly. The portions were a lot smaller for the appetizers than the typical Thai restaurant so we ended up having to order double items of some things. We ended up ordering appetizers as our meal. It was a chilly day, so we ordered some hot tea. The mug and pot set were so adorable that we had to take a picture of them! Food: Fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp - I wish they would have told us it's only one roll (cut into 4 pieces) and we would have ordered 2 right away. *Recommend ordering the curry peanut sauce to go with these vs the sauce they had with them. Yumm! I want more. The shrimp were prominent and tasty in them. Cranberry cream cheese wontons - get them! So tasty and crispy! Crave-worthy! I'm pretty sure we got 2 orders! Hahah Fried Calamari - sooo goood!! The lime sauce is so flavorful and was one of my favorite flavors on the table! I want more now. It's a nice balance of acid and a teeny bit of sweet spice. Yum Yumm Chicken Satay- ok... so I love the curry dipping sauce but we didn't love the chicken. It didn't feel crispy and it was the opposite of that. Kinda odd and mushy. I wouldn't order again unless you ask to make it crispier? Idk... skip and eat all the other items we had. Overall I liked this place. Little spendier for the size of portions we've gotten at other thai restaurants. I'm sure it comes down to their location and maybe taxes, but update the menu with more specifics? We will be back again before the next play! The noodles/ stir fry and fried rice looked awesome. Next time!

    Cute place right next to the stone arch bridge and the Guthrie theater. I had the fried tofu. It had a nice texture and the sauce was really good. Could have used a little more flavor. I'd try spring rolls or pad Thai next time. Staff was friendly.

    Hot Pot
    Luke G.

    This was my first time ordering "Hot Pot" at a restaurant. I've heard about it, but never had the opportunity to order it. It's a little gimmick, but it's pretty cool. The soup is served with a live flame that heats the soup. There's a large variety of seafood, and the chilis can add an unexpected kick if you're not careful! The broth was good, but the fish didn't feel seasoned at all. The dish felt disparate, and didn't feel like they blended flavors well. The fried rice could have been fried longer and given a darker color. I'm not a fan of very lightly "fried" rice. I want the darkened browned flavor; and it was left lacking.

    Pineapple Fried Rice
    Thomas Z.

    In the process of scouting dining options around the Guthrie, we couldn't miss the nearest exterior option, Kindee. A one-minute stroll away, Kindee is likely a tough table to land pre-show, so a reservation seems wise. One was not needed on this cold, quiet Monday in the city. We started with fried spring rolls, consisting of three cut diagonally in halves. Crisp and tasty, with a touch of sweet and sour sauce nicely offsetting the crunchy cabbage and onions. (I proceeded to slather the sauce on my last two portions and ate like it was my last meal, but no apologies - they were that good.) We tried just two entrees, both excellent, the pineapple fried rice and the ginger salmon. The fried rice had big chunks of pineapple and delicious dried cranberries. I felt the added pork wasn't the best as it dried out a bit in the process, but overall a great fried rice dish. The salmon was excellent, prepared a perfect medium rare. Either could feed 2-3 diners. Overall, a very good experience, with prompt service and great food. Sadly, only beer and wine are offered, but the selection was more than adequate. Looks like a dandy pre-show dinner spot.

We began with the Roasted Cashews, which were perfectly seasoned and addictive.

Several employees checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our food throughout our dining experience! They have many vegetarian and gluten free options. They also have some vegan options or items that can be made vegan upon request! We had the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer! The filling was very smooth and creamy and slightly sweet. We also had pad see yew with tofu and pad thai with mock duck. The servings are generous and each entree can easily last for 2 meals. They include a lot of the protein of choice, which I greatly appreciate. Some thai restaurants ask you for your desired level of spice, but we weren't asked here. They were mild (no spice) by default. The pad see ew had a savory, slightly sweet flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the Chinese broccoli had a nice little crunch. The pad thai had a good balance of sweet, salty, and savory. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice! The mango wasn't particularly ripe, but the coconut milk provided the perfect amount of sweetness. I enjoy Nong's Thai and would recommend it!
