Casual Thai restaurant serving drunken noodles & flower dumplings
"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 escape within the Heights." - Brianna Griff
"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." - Brittany Britto Garley
"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
"Owner Lukkaew Srasrisuwan has been infusing Kin Dee’s desserts with pandan since its opening four years ago. The airy and super moist three-layered pandan cake, a cult favorite made from a recipe Srasiruswan brought from her family’s gas station bakeries in Thailand, is covered in a light young coconut cream frosting with chunks of coconut for added texture. The mango sticky rice also offers a pandan punch with verdant coconut sticky rice." - 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.
