Seattle’s Best Thai Restaurants | Eater Seattle

"In a city teeming with excellent Thai options, Kin Len’s the one nobody talks about but defaults to—IYKYK. With kitschy-cool décor like upcycled Thai-language street market signage, colorful flags, and lots of neon, it has a buzzy atmosphere perfect for date night. Kin Len’s thing is Isarn-style Thai food, and folks rave over the gai tod (crispy wings with sticky rice) and the red curry. They’re not wrong, but the khao soi is the sleeper hit here: super rich and intense, it’s loaded with big slabs of dark meat chicken and plenty of heat. They’ve also got an ingenious craft cocktail list, mixing in traditional Thai ingredients like chili oil and lemongrass. –Meg van Huygen" - Harry Cheadle
