"When you’re sick of Thai restaurants that seem to just shuffle around the same dozen or so menu items, head to Kiin Di instead. You’ll find dishes like Rip & Dip Roti, Killer Noodles, and Dang! Curry that all add a bit of intensity to an otherwise chill Thursday night dinner run. The Thai-style fried chicken successfully tests the upper limits of poultry crispiness, and crispy soft shell crab swimming in a pool of creamy egg curry might just be one of the best curries we’ve eaten out of a food truck. It doesn’t hurt that this truck is parked at Corner Bar, a chill, mostly outdoor sports bar in South Austin. Grab a beer from inside—it’ll help with the spice, or at least help you forget about it." - nicolai mccrary
"The dishes at Kiin Di come with punchy names like Rip & Dip Roti, Killer Noodles, and Dang! Curry—they’re all hints that your casual Thursday night dinner run is about to get more exciting. The Thai-style fried chicken successfully tests the upper limits of poultry crunchiness, and crispy soft-shell crab swimming in a pool of creamy egg curry might just be one of the best curries we’ve eaten out of a food truck. It’s parked at Corner Bar in South Austin, so you can grab a beer to help ease you through some of the spicier dishes. " - nicolai mccrary
"Through their Zilker truck, co-owners and chefs Panyada Chaikantha, Bee TP and Chris Matthana hone in on really well-made flavorful Thai dishes, from the creamy soft-shell crab curry, Thai-style fried chicken and pad thai. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas courtesy of host site Corner Bar." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

If you’re watching sports at the bar, they’re almost a necessity. photo credit: Richard Casteel Killer Noodles Basically spicy stir-fried ramen noodles served in a decorative Chinese-style takeout container and topped with a fried egg and deep-fried fried pork belly. These are fun to look at, but manage to pack enough heat and savory flavor to show us that they’re not just eye candy. photo credit: Richard Casteel Creamy Crab Curry The fried soft-shell crab is sweet, crunchy, and a great textural counterpart to the creamy egg-based curry it’s all swimming in. If you’re a fan of seafood, you’ll want to order this." - Nicolai McCrary
"Find fantastic Thai fare at the food truck parked outside Corner Bar, especially the roti with a curried dipping sauce and stir-fried noodles. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
