"The fast-casual offshoot of Michelin-starred Thai restaurant Kin Khao has permanently closed, in part due to rescinded Restaurant Revitalization Fund money. Owner Pim Techamuanvivit signed a one-year lease in August 2020, knowing the instability of the industry amid the pandemic could mean it would be a short-lived venture. Despite applying for an RRF grant, the closure was inevitable when the program funds were depleted, leaving minority-owned businesses like Kin Khao Dogpatch out to dry." - Clair Lorell
"While Kin Khao in Union Square remains in hiatus, Pim Techamuanvivit opened a fast-casual version of the Michelin-starred Thai restaurant, taking over the former Noon All Day cafe-restaurant space. The Dogpatch cafe offers a stripped-down version of the original Kin Khao menu, serving pork laab meatballs, Isaan-style cranberry beans, and chilled asparagus salad as starters; Bangkok-style stir-fry noodles and chicken golek curry; and grab-and-go items like cabbage salad and a fried chicken sandwich. The spacious outdoor area is open for dining, first come, first served — no reservations." - Daisy Barringer, Eater Staff
"Kin Khao has reopened its more casual outpost in the Dogpatch, so the fiery chicken wings are officially back starting April 15. The original Kin Khao, the Michelin-starred Thai restaurant downtown, remains on hiatus." - Becky Duffett
"Upside to COVID: No one can quite keep up with who’s opening/closing/ceasing takeout/doing delta-friendly outdoor dining. Which means it’s possible to luck out with a last-minute reservation for seven on a Saturday night at Kin Khao’s newly launched patio service at its new Dogpatch location." - Eater Staff
"A year after opening, the fast-casual offshoot of Michelin-starred Thai restaurant Kin Khao permanently closed." - Becky Duffett
