Casual restaurant serving Thai dishes such as drunken noodles and flower dumplings, plus cocktails and live music.
"This buzzy Thai restaurant spotlights noodle dishes from four regions of Thailand, offering meals like ribbony pad see ew, fiery panang curry, and creamy Tom Kha soup. The Thai Flower Dumpling, a purple creation filled with roasted peanuts, sweet pickled relish, and palm sugar, is a must-order. With vibrant wall art, live entertainment on weekends, and aesthetically pleasing cocktails like the mango mai tai, dining at Kin Dee feels like an exotic escape within the Heights." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
"Traditional wings are given a Thai twist at Kin Dee. The marinated wings are golden fried and offer a crispy bite. They’re flavorful enough on their own, but try dipping them in the accompanying tamarind sauce for a sweet and tart finish. You won’t find them in large quantities of 10, 12, or more here, but they serve as a great precursor to pad Thai and green curry." - Courtney E. Smith, Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain
"The menu at this casual Thai restaurant is perfect for enjoying a meal with friends. Find sharable dishes like butterfly pea flower dumplings, which feature a sweet and savory filling of peanuts, palm sugar, and pickled relish; stir-fried basil chicken; a variety of curries, and pad thai. Dessert is also a must, with a refreshingly sweet mango sticky rice with coconut rice infused with pandan, or the multilayered pandan coconut cake with an extra light coconut cream frosting." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Kin Dee sits in a corner of one of the many North Shepherd strip center complexes in The Heights and makes a great spot for a low key meal or last-minute holy-crap-we-found-a-baby/dog-sitter date. While the cocktails and service can be a bit inconsistent, the beautiful and craveable dishes keep us coming back. Available Monday and Tuesday only, the $42 Khan Tok Platter (with seven different mini dishes—is an unbeatable deal for two, plus it’s served on a gorgeous golden gilded tray. Every visit, we could inhale the stir-fried basil chicken, feel deep satisfaction slicing open the fried egg omelet wrapping to reveal nutty pad thai below, and gleefully get the personal mango sticky rice for dessert.

"Shoved into one of the many North Shepherd strip center complexes, the Thai restaurant Kin Dee is a great spot for a casual midweek meal, whether you live in The Heights or not. The cocktails and service can be hit or miss, but the food makes up for any other shortcomings. The $42 Khan Tok Platter (available Monday and Tuesday only) with seven different mini dishes is an unbeatable deal for two, plus the golden gilded tray looks gorgeous. We could inhale the stir-fried basil chicken, slice open the fried egg omelet wrapping to reveal nutty pad thai below and feel satisfied every time, and order a personal mango sticky rice for dessert.
