Kin Len - Thai Street Eats

Delicious!!! The pictures you see are exactly how the food looks when it gets to you. They even have Vegan options as substitutes!!! The Thai tea was great with coconut milk for a dairy free option. The place was really cute and really felt as if you were in Thailand. The Ka Na was AMAZING! And the wings as appetizers were so good!!

Kin Len - Thai Street Eats was a definite treat during my recent visit to San Diego! The "Son-In-Law" chicken wings were crispy and drizzled with a delicious sweet and tangy sauce. The pork belly appetizer was lightly fried and tasted like a chicarrone. It was served with a spicy green sauce. The "Hot Mama" noodles were dressed in a flavorful sauce and tossed with shrimp, scallops, and mussels.

Good Thai food, but quite a bit different from what I’ve had at other Thai restaurants. My go-to order is Pad See Ew and it was topped with cilantro which was unusual. I didn’t mind the cilantro flavor, but others may not like it. They used broccolini of broccoli and there weren’t any carrots. This restaurant seems to serve more authentic Thai food than your average Thai restaurant. We also ordered the Enoki mushrooms and chicken wings from the appetizer menu and both had really nice flavor. I ordered the Lychee beer and loved the super sweet taste, but those who love regular beer may not enjoy its overpowering fruity flavor. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere with cool posters on the wall and open-air seating. We arrived at 7pm on a Tuesday without a reservation and were seated immediately. Street parking in North Park can be tricky, but we found a paid-parking lot about a block away from the restaurant for $8 an hour. Not the best Thai food I’ve ever had, but it was a nice experience and the area is very fun to walk around.

Wonderful food, simple atmosphere. We had four dishes; each was superb. The crab fried rice was flavorful and delicate, the beef savory and bold. The appetizers were tasty. We'd come here again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic food - great variety, depth of flavor, and even good vegan options. Service as great - server was prompt and friendly despite it being pretty busy. And, the atmosphere and decor make for a really unique experience. Get the Tom Yum wings!!!

What a fabulous late afternoon lunch/early dinner! Just fantastic. Came into San Diego for the afternoon to check out 30th street. Decided to grab a bite to eat. Turned out fabulous! Loooved our dishes and the funky atmosphere! Would defiantly eat here again. I never had Thai Iced tea (got mine with coconut milk) as its kinda like thai coffee but cold, yum! Had the Tofu drunken noodles (#3spice and rice noodles, the cucumber salad (!!!), tom yum chicken wings and crispy pork belly rice dish!

This place can be a hit or miss. I visited for the first time here, Tom Yum wings 10/10, they are bomb.. absolutely fantastic Fried Calamari, 8/10 huge quantity loved it, they should enhance the flavor of the sauce they serve. Now comes the soup and main course I have been a big fan of Tom Kha soup and Khou soi Tom Kha had a strong by strong I mean very strong lemon grass to it. Super tangy 8/10 The Khou soi was too strong in flavour, high turmeric, strong curry paste. Could have been a little mild. 6/10 Overall the place is good

We've been here twice so far and each time it's been incredible. The first time I got soup with ribs (name is escaping me) and my fiancé got the curry noodle dish (first noodle dish in noodle section of menu). I was impressed by the flavor of the curry it honestly blew me away, more of a thick saucy consistency compared to curry that absorbs into rice. The depth of flavor here was insane. The bowl of noodles I got with ribs was heart warming and easy on my stomach, and I forget what we got as an appetizer. The second time around we split some sake, the cucumber salad, a fried chicken dish with rice and curry that had some sort of bread to dip in which honestly tastes like a flattened croissant it was buttery and flakey perfection - chef's kiss!! This combined with the lemongrass in the curry and the crispy skin of the chicken honestly this dish alone will have me coming back time and time again. The last dish we split was the shrimp wonton soup with added egg noodles and the broth was perfect, just enough saltiness, and the wontons themselves were silky and smooth with a light fresh shrimp filling. All around perfect meal and felt like a giant hug.

I love coming to Kin Len! The food is always fresh, hot, and super flavorful. The pricing is super fair and the Thai drink options are great. I want to gate-keep this place so bad! But I know I that would be wrong haha. The restaurant is not very large so I'm not sure I would come here with 20 of my closest friends. But for 2-6 people, this place is perfect. The service is always the best. Fast and efficient which you can't really ask for much more. Next time you're in North Park and looking for a great meal, stop by Kin Len. You won't be disappointed!

Came here for an early dinner and the interior was playful. Felt authentic and fun. We got the wings and 2 other dishes. The wings were a bit too over seasoned where it felt more on the salty side. The service was a bit too slow in every aspect. Taking our order, to food coming out to getting water refill was a struggle. Had to go up to the counter to get servers attention. There was about 5 parties with 2 workers. Food was decent and service can be a bit more improved.

What we ordered: -drunken noodles (lvl 2 spice): loved the chew of these noodles and this dish was very well seasoned. Level 2 spice was just the right amount of spice to add a little kick to the noodles. -Tom yum wings: definitely the star of the show. Such a flavorful dish and the wings are crisped to perfection. Highly recommend ordering this one! I know it's just going to get harder to keep prices affordable with the direction the economy is going right now, but I must say it was kinda pricey for the amount of food served. Seating: indoor and outdoor available Parking: street parking can get a little tough in this area

Great spot in north park for late night eats and right by busy bars with great vibes! It was easy to order and food came out fast. We tried the son in law wings, fried enoki mushrooms, basil beef, & chicken pad Thai. Flavor was on point and the best dishes are fried. 4 stars because of the small portions and the pad Thai noodles were unfortunately soggy

My friend found this place by accident and we got the last indoor seat while outside was chilly and the table we got was so small it didn't fit the 5 items I ordered. Some things were on the spicy side even after asking them to be made mild. Loved the quality on the dishes I was able to eat and they get negative points for running out of mango sticky rice but we did go when it was later in the evening. :-) For sure will be back!

Love this place~ It's my go to Thai place whenever I'm in North park. I could not recommend the Hat Yai Chicken and curry enough! The chicken is just so perfectly crispy and with the curry, naan, and sticky rice you get pretty full pretty quickly. The drunken noodles and pork belly, that might've been slightly on the dryer side for me, were still pretty great dishes too. The staff are always really sweet and while the place is small it's really cozy.

Kin Len might be the best Thai food my girlfriend and I have had. We stopped by after we got drinks nearby since they're open late. Very glad we stumbled upon Kin Len. Upon entering, the restaurant felt very much so like the streets of Thailand, with various neon signs and modern street decor. We ordered the Hat Yai chicken and curry and felt adventurous and ordered worms. Our server was sweet and the food came out quickly. I wasn't excited to try the worms, but they were surprisingly delicious, with a crispy, popcorn-like texture. They were perfect for a night out. The chicken and curry was probably the best we've had. The chicken had an amazing crunch that paired well with the crispy roti and the curry. Everything here had great flavors and textures. My girlfriend and I will absolutely make it a point to stop here on our next trip to San Diego

My goodness the Basil Plant-Based Meat dish is amazing I have to say. I might have to get it a second time while here is the SD!!!! Definitely in a ideal prime location in North Park. The service was great. We made an online order...it all worked out!!! The Ambiance was a vibe yes in deed! Kin Len gets a 5 star rating from this yelper!!! My taste buds thank you

This is my go to spot when I'm craving Khao Soi, it's so good and a must try if you've never tried this Northern Thai style soup. This soup is filled with a lot of flavor and spice. Our second dish was the basil beef which was delish and was my wife's favorite. Our waiter was awesome and the restaurant had a fun vibe with Thai decor throughout the restaurant. If you're in North Park and craving Thai food, then this is the place to try.

Popped into Kin Len after walking by and it was such a nice surprise! I got the khao soi noodles and they were so good. It came with add-ins and the chili oil, onions, and pickled veg were a great addition. The crunchy noodles are the perfect textural inclusion. We had to wait about 40 minutes for a table at 6:30pm, but the food was very worth the wait. They had fun signage on the walls and it gave a cool vibe.

Was looking for a casual place for dinner and just walking around North Park. This place was so amazing and hit the spot on so many levels!! The service was so friendly we were sorted right away. We ordered drinks and they arrived in less than 5 mins and our food I was so surprised also arrived extremely fast! The flavors they were able to create were amazing. We got fried garlic intestine and they tasted exactly like chiccheronis, they were a great snack. The pad Thai was great. It was on the sweet side which I had never had but loved. The egg noodle dishes were my favorite though, very similar to a thin ramen noodle. The best part about this place though is the atmosphere you rely feel like you are transported to another country. The beer selection is also amazing. So many local Thai beers and they also had some local San Diego beers on tap including sculpin from ballast point. 10/10 recommend. We will be back.

Great find with some unique Thai dishes. We started off with the Worms, Son- in-law Wings, Chicken Satay, Crab Rangoon cigar rolls and Thai Papaya Salad. Next we moved on to some shared plates- Tom Kha soup, Drunken noodles w/ chicken, Pad Thai Boran w/ chicken and the Hat Yai Chicken & Curry. We really enjoyed most dishes- they were extremely flavorful and delivered on the spice levels as requested. Service was prompt and attentive.

My friends and I ate here on a Saturday afternoon. I got the pork larb and my fiancé got the drunken noodles with chicken - both spice level 5. For some strange reason, beef is not a protein option for some dishes only tofu, shrimp, or chicken. When our dishes arrived we both commented how it was not spicy in fact there were very sweet, especially my dish. I had to ask for fresh chilies but even then it didn't add the spice I was looking for. Food came out relatively quick but service was lacking as we had to ask twice for utensils, there were no napkins on the table and often times we were without water.

The one and only thing I would come back here for is chicken wings. They are crispy, flavorful perfection. Possibly top chicken wings I've had. But the mussel and pork rib appetizers were a bit of a let down. The mussels were tough and funky tasting, and while the short ribs were tender, they lacked flavor. For entrees we tried the basil beef, which was our second favorite of the night, though not something I would come back here for or crave. The whole grilled fish can be a skip. One thing I really loved though was how this restaurant cooks their rice. Is it just me? The grains of rice are perfectly sticky but not stuck together? Anyways, ambiance is definitely a tight cozy space and gets busy. Service is very friendly despite the chaos. Moral of the story: get the chicken wings.

Our friend recommended this restaurant to us while we were in San Diego! We arrived late around 9pm, and were so glad they were still open. Despite the late hour, the place was still packed, so we took seats at the bar. The restaurant is decorated with fun and nostalgic elements! The service was excellent! Attentive, friendly, and diligent. Our server really made us feel welcome and comfortable. * Tom Yum Chicken Wings (6 pcs) These were an absolute flavor bomb! The wings had crispy skin, were served hot and clearly freshly made. The tom yum powder sprinkled on them was the star. Highly recommended! * Khao Soi with Fried Chicken The soup was thicker than a typical noodle soup, more like a sauce but it worked perfectly because the thickness helped the flavors cling to the noodles. The fried chicken was delicious and soaked up all the curry goodness. (I noticed some people had crispy fried noodles on top, but if you order the fried chicken, it doesn't come with it) * Tom Yum Noodles Pork Ribs Sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, all in one sip! You can choose your spice level and I went with 3/5 this time, and it wasn't as spicy as I expected (Thai spicy is usually much spicier than other cuisines, so I played it safe). The dish came with plenty of meat, and the ribs were tender and falling off the bone. * Thai Iced Tea The flavor was slightly watery and less creamy than I would have hoped, but it was still refreshing. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for Thai food. The chicken wings are definitely to die for, and I would absolutely recommend them!

Popped in after a full day of doing a tasting North Park! Kin Len was not partaking in the foodie tour but I decided to come to enjoy some street eats. My friend and I decided to split some things as we wanted to keep it light. We had a Tom Yum theme going on with our Tom Yum fries, chicken wings, and Tom Yum Noodle pork Ribs! The fries were lightly dusted with the powder and topped with fried basil leaves. They use regular thin French fries and they were crispy! The chicken wings were so flavorful and were my favorite here! This would pair nice with beer but my soju was nice with it too. The chicken skin was thin and fried to a golden crisp and coated again with that Tom Yum powder. The noodle soup had a limey base and had lots of crushed peanuts, bean sprouts, and ground pork. They use a medium cut egg noodle for the dish and it was heartwarming with the tender pork ribs. I enjoyed everything we tried at Kin Len and I like the overall cozy and casual vibe for a dinner here. The service from our waiter Jason was extremely helpful as he gave us all the great recommendations!

- Vibes: neon lights, street food vibes - Crowd: chill on weeknights - Menu: lots of options! - Value for price: 4/5 (pricey but standard for this area, good portion sizes) - Service: very quick on weeknights - Parking: street parking... good luck Came here for a Wednesday dinner around 6pm. It was empty but filling up as we ate. I can imagine it would be cute for a casual Friday night date with the neon lights ambiance. The menu has lots of options and the server was helpful with our questions. We tried the fried enoki mushrooms, which were super crispy but a bit too oily. Didn't get much mushroom taste but the dipping fish sauce was delicious. The chicken satay skewers were well cooked and the peanut sauce delicious! My favorite was the Thai stew beef noodle soup, which had huge chunks of medium rare beef and several beef balls. Lovely for a winter meal!

This place is perfect for a weeknight dinner. I ate here with a friend, and we ordered pad thai, khao soi, and tom yum fries. Pad thai: My friend ordered this- it is a standard dish, and this restaurant makes it really well! It has a really good balance of salty/sour/savory. Khao Soi: This is my favorite dish here! The broth/sauce is so flavorful, and the crispy egg noodles go so well with the softer rice noodles. I usually eat half of this for dinner, and there is more than enough for another meal! Tom Yum Fries: These are thin and crispy, and perfectly seasoned! You can really taste the tom yum flavor from the powder they use. This is a lot cheaper during happy hour as well. The waiters were so friendly here, and the decorations also fit the restaurant theme really well. Parking is really rough, especially around dinner time, but it is worth the trip! A must try. Don't forget to check in for a free thai tea :3

Kin Len is a small Thai restaurant nestled among the many trendy eateries in North Park. We've been here several times now and enjoyed all the dishes we had, everything from wings to khao soi and more. My favorite dish though is the basil beef. Khao soi is a tasty bowl of curry noodles with a big juicy and tender piece of chicken and 2 types of noodles. Spice comes on levels to 0-5,although the highest any of us went was 3. Tom yum noodle pork rib soup comes with 2 big ribs. Mango sticky rice beer is not bad either. There's a nice selection on the menu, enough to entice you back for more. Service was prompt and friendly even on a busy day.

A chill, lowkey place to eat/drink in North Park. Street parking is always a challenge here but I've gone on weekdays when chances are slightly better to park nearby. I've had both smaller bites or shareables (tom yum fries, tom yum wings) and full dishes (pad thai, drunken noodles) while sitting on the patio. Friendly, attentive service and on another night out I'll likely stop by again.

Came to Kin Len with friends who frequent this spot - will definitely come back next time I'm in SD. Interior reminded me of food stands we went to on our trips to Vietnam and Thailand - so cool. Our server was attentive and super friendly. We had lunch earlier on a Friday and were some of the first people in. The basil beef was so flavorful - would order again. Also loved the cucumber salad. Excited to come back and try new dishes next time I'm in town.

Amazing experience! We came last Thursday for dinner and it was nothing short of amazing! Parking is very rough like anywhere else in that area and inside is small but enough to fit more than 5 tables. The waiters were attentive with service and made ordering a breeze. We ordered quite a bit of food; tom yum fries, fried garlic intestines, tom yum wings, Thai beef stew noodles, ka na, and tom yum noodles pork ribs, along with tom yum beer and mango sticky rice beer. The fries were more so for my baby nephew. He was joking that they were sour but I think he liked them because him and my son couldn't stop picking on them. The fried garlic intestines had to have been our least favorite since they were very over fried and tough to eat since they were really hard and dried. The tom yum wings were a bit dry and overcooked as well but the flavor was there! Thai beef stew noodles were too sweet for my likings but I enjoyed how there were so many different types of meat inside. My son said his tom yum noodles were good and I tried his pork ribs which were huge and tender. I really loved my husband's ka na crispy pork rice dish it was really flavorful to my likings and fried perfectly!

Went with the family for a quick Thai fix and it hit the spot. Parking was miserable being in Northpark so you might have to come early and find street parking somewhere close. Service and seating was fast and our server was so nice. Everything ordered was good and no complaints at all. My favorite was the basil beef which was so flavorful. Gonna be back for some more Thai in the future.

Very tasty Thai spot with classics and unique offerings. The Thai Iced Tea was refreshing and I loved both my app (Tom Yum wings) and entree (Basil beef). I would definitely recommend if you're in North Park. Shoutout to the staff who honored my request to turn on the Eagles game!

SHOUT OUT to Glen, our server. Sooo friendly, great customer service . First time here, celebrated bday. Foods are excellent, big portions too. With reasonable pricing Sitting areas available inside and place also has small patio . Place is at North park, so expect that parking will be a challenge. Although there is a nearby parking structure about a block aways from the restaurant.

Finally get to try this place and it does not disappoint. If you like peanut butter then you should try their chicken satay as it comes with toast and a lot of peanut sauce! The portion is generous and chicken is moist. We also enjoyed the Pad Thai as it wasn't overly tangy.

Kin Len has quickly become a favorite restaurant of mine! I absolutely love the style of this restaurant- right when you walk in, the ambiance makes you feel transported to a Thai street-food night market. The menu offers a nice variety of choices. So far I have tried: - Tom yum french fries - fried enoki mushroom - son in law wings - papaya salad (som yum Thai) - pad Thai boran - basil beef (kra prao neua) - chicken and rice (khao man gai) They also have Asian beers, sake, and soju. Honestly, everything I have tried here is soooo flavorful and well-seasoned. There are many dishes I still want to try. I could eat here all the time and be happy. Service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Came here in the middle of the week for dinner. The waiter was nice and quick to give us water and take our order. We ordered Tom yum wings and Ka Na. They were both delicious. The spice level was a nice kick. You choose between 1-5. We chose 2, felt like a 3 lol. The place wasn't too busy so it wasn't loud or crowed. Very chill vibe. Definitely try again.

omg i felt like i was in thailand. wanna bring more friends here i love the decor its v street eats vibes!! will b back to try more dishes. server was so friendly n nice! only thing is maybe the sauces could be cleaner.

This place has high reviews for a reason, the food is SO good. My partner and I loved everything we ordered so much that we almost finished everything...we ordered so much they moved us to another table to fit everything lol. The place has cute street eats vibes and reminds me of warm nights eating in the restaurants in South East Asia. Their service is top notch, everyone is so attentive and kind. We highly recommend this place.

Designed to give a street side restaurant in Thailand vibe. A small and busy gem. I tried the pad Thai, my favorite and go to. I actually had a late night craving and Yelp made a suggestion to try this place based off of my personal favorites and must say...slam dunk, delicious. My only gripe is no parking. It's on a busy street and full of patrons enjoying the North Park bar scene and shops. Just park and walk. Definitely worth a try.

We live close by so we've been go Kin Len a few times and each time has been yummy. The restaurant gets busy and there's not that many tables so I would make a reservation or go early. We didn't mind waiting since there's a lot to see around the area. We've also got it to go so we can eat at home. I recommend getting their tom yum wings, their basil beef kra prao and their khao soi. So yummy.

Stumbled upon this place after exploring some of the bars nearby and so glad that we did. The restaurant is cozy and quaint inside which we loved. For food we ordered the son in law wings for our appetizer and this was insanely delicious. The sweet tamarind sauce they use on the chicken was so good and I still can't stop thinking about it. We also ordered the drunken noodles and pad Thai both with chicken. So flavorful and delicious. Would definitely order everything again and can't wait to come back!

What a great find! I found Kin Len while looking for some Thai options on Yelp. The restaurant ambiance is very casual. The service was great and friendly. The food was excellent. I order my favorite, shrimp pad Thai, and I have to say it is THE BEST Pad Thai I have had since I moved to California. As I walked in, I snooped at the other costumers dishes and everything looked quite delicious. Kim Len is already on my San Diego bookmark for my next visit. Definitely recommend.

What an awesome spot! Love the street-style food and setting of this North Park gem. I love a good Thai restaurant--whether it be the fancy, bougie types or the casual, no frills type. This one is more of the latter and it definitely works. The food comes out quick and the service is pretty good too. My absolute favorite dish here is the Basil Beef. it was seasoned well. Came with a fried egg and fresh cucumbers, and it was just a delicious bite each time. The Crab Fried Rice was very tasty, with a decent amount of crab meat. This place is awesome for happy hour as well because they have lots of appetizers to choose from while you sip a drink. Don't skip out on the Crispy Pork Belly, Crab Rangoon Cigar Rolls and the Fried Wontons. The Chicken Satay app comes with 5 skewers and can be a welcome entree with a side of white rice. The menu has several options for everybody, and I am looking forward to trying more of their food in the future!

What a great street food-style Thai restaurant located in North Park! Be prepared to circle around for paid street parking. Environment/Service: My friend and I went at 1pm on a Thursday and we were seated right away and opted for an outdoor table where they have a few 2 person tables. Inside, there are 2-4 person tables. Doesn't seem the place to be for larger groups. Our server was very attentive, constantly filled up our waters, and food came pretty fast! Food: -Spicy Fish Cake ($10.95): 5 pieces of round fish cakes, served with sweet chili sauce. Wasn't too spicy and was a little chewy. I'd probably skip this next time. -Tom Yum Wings ($10.95): 6 pieces half drums/half flats. The crunch was perfect and the flavor was super good! I'd order this again. -Drunken Mama ($18.95): not your regular Thai drunken noodles. It has thin noodles, more saucy, and had great flavoring! Served with a good amount of shrimp, mussels, and scallops. -Basil Beef ($15.95): 4/5 spice. I love spicy food and this had a little bit of a kick to it! Served with rice and fried egg on top. I realllyyy enjoyed this dish! -Thai Tea: free with check in Overall: There were so many options that it was hard to choose between the two of us! The servings were not as big as you'd expect for the prices but we still ended up full and had enough to take home for left overs. I'd love to come back to try out other items on the menu.

enjoyed the atmosphere of the place very much! calamari rings were crispy and hot, and the sweet and sour sauce was delicious with it! tried the khao soi dish for the first time and it was a pleasant surprise; lots of spices, and enjoyed the combination of the soft egg noodle in the curry as well as the crispy noodles on top. the chicken pad thai was also very flavorful and tasted great! will definitely come back here again

This place is sooo good! My friend recommended this spot for a quick dinner. We got there on a Friday night around 7 and there was no wait to be seated. The restaurant is cute with plenty of convenience-store type of decor. We ordered the fried enoki mushrooms, khao soi, and chicken fried rice. The enoki mushrooms were soooo good, I would come back just for that. The khao soi and chicken fried rice were also really good, no complaints :) the 3 dishes came out to around $45. I will definitely visit again when in the area!

I was expecting more street food options. But the place looks like it is directly extracted and installed from south east asia street food shop. The music, the plating (looks like leaf or bamboo plate) make up more than enough for it. Food is decent, doesn't hit home-run, but i wont mind going there again. But in north park, with fierce competition, Kin Len will have its place.

This place is amazing if you want to experience Thai food beyond the typical Thai fares of curry and pad Thai. Although these items are on their menu, they offer so much more. We tried the Thai fried chicken with curry (hat yai style chicken), crab fried rice, and crispy pork belly stir fried with Chinese broccoli. These dishes were so flavorful. If you order mild, it's a true mild that had a little heat without ruining the dish. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was really laid back and I loved the little details like the fly cover at the table just like in Thailand lol. It's a big menu so come as a big group and order lots to try. Prices were fair for the neighborhood. Service was very friendly and our water was always refilled. No wait on a Saturday at 6:30PM but came 7:30PM the place was packed. Excited to try the desserts, we'll make sure to leave room next time!

The food is decent, and I would recommend coming here if you're in North Park and looking for a decent Thai place, but you must know the food is very salty. That is the sole reason I gave four stars. Aside from the moderately high but "reasonable for North Park" prices, the service provided by the waitress was very good and the food came out relatively quickly. I can't speak for how busy the restaurant normally is but parking was tremendously hard to find, which is typical for this area.

Had the basil beef and tom yum wings. The seasoning on the tom yum wings is so addicting, I only wish there was more of it sprinkled on there. The wings were crispy but I can see why some of the other reviews mentioned that they were dry. The basil beef, though I only had a small taste, was flavorful and I loved the spice level on it. They seem to make their food pretty spicy here compared to other restaurants where it's hard to get something spicy enough. The atmosphere is super cute and vintagey, so I'd like to dine in sometimes. Service was great.

This place is hands down my favorite Thai place in SD. Super cute atmosphere like you're eating on the streets of Thailand and the service is great! I've dined in or ordered takeout at least a dozen times over the past couple years. The food keeps well even after 20 minutes in the car. Here's what I recommend: - khao soi with fried chicken (huge portion and so rich!) - basil beef - hat yai fried chicken - fried enoki mushrooms to share - Tom yum noodle pork ribs - Larb hed to share Notable mentions: - Ka na - Crab fried rice might've been nice as a shared dish, but was a bit monotonous eating it by itself - Tom yum wings - pad thai - definitely not overly sweet as some other restaurants make it!

We ordered to go which was right before they closed at 3pm and we were really happy to get our food and then picnic in Balboa Park. The Pad Thai was really good, but my favorite was the Khao Sod which was the curried noodles. The spiciness was just right and there was a lot of curry sauce. I just wish i had more noodles to go with the sauce but the portion sizes were good. The staff was kind enough to wait for us since we did arrive a couple minutes after 3pm. Will definitely go again.

Khao soi! Hell yes! Also...Bugs. But the beef is great, the wings are great. Get a beer, sit down, enjoy, summon Thailand to your table. Usually get it to go or delivered, but when we eat their the service has been prompt and friendly too.

tom yum wings are BOMB. my daughter loves her sticky rice & chicken broth. pork belly wasn't bad. Isan-style papaya salad was lacking, too sweet in our opinion. they were out of chicken hearts :( but the vibe created inside with all the decor is great

Love the pad Thai and excellent service late night and delivery was on point. This is my go to Thai spot for the area.

Very tasty food! (Tip: Check in on Yelp for a free drink) Though North Park isn't the easiest area to visit, the delicious food makes the trip worthwhile. The Tom Yum Wings were perfectly crispy and had a great savory and tart seasoning. They weren't as spicy as we expected with the chili pepper icon next to the menu item, but delicious nonetheless. The Tom Yum Wings were especially good with a bite of crispy basil. A must order, but we'd also love to try the other wing flavors. We got the Basil Beef (Kra Prao Neua) with spice level 2/5. It was fairly spicy but well balanced with the over easy egg and rice. This may have been our favorite dish. The Hat Yai Chicken and Curry was recommended to come with sticky rice by the waitress. The sticky rice wasn't an amazing addition compared to steamed rice, but the nice texture and fun presentation in a steamer made the sticky rice order (no price addition) worthwhile. We wished the fried chicken was more seasoned but the curry provided a nice moisture and flavor. The fresh roti was amazing in the yellow curry. The roti with curry should be available as an appetizer! Kin Len offers a good variety of dishes with good portions at reasonable prices. I'd love to come back!
