"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

"We’d hang out at Kin Len Thai Night Bites just to look around and eat khao soi. The dining room is an impressive showroom of canvas canopies, lounge seating, pink lighting, and large paper umbrellas. With all of the exciting design details, the khao soi is just as exciting—it’s made with braised chicken thigh, thick and spicy coconut broth, and tender egg noodles. If you get this and ignore the rest of the menu, this place is great." - Aimee Rizzo
