Kin Len - Thai Street Eats

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.

Kin Len is so delicious! The atmosphere is chill and the servers are kind. I go to Thailand every summer so it's nice to come somewhere in the states that is authentic. Highly recommend!

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.

Valuable place for Thai food! The curry was rich but too salty, the crispy pork belly was little, and the fried chicken rice was generous. The Filipino waiter is very diligent👍

4.2/5 Another great Thai spot in North Park. This place had casual seating with a nice little outdoor patio. The menu had a great variety of options with some non-traditional items that were delicious. We ordered the Tom Yum Fries, Calamari, Son-in-Law Wings, Thai Papaya Salad, Crab Fried Rice, and Pad Thai. The fries were super flavorful, and were fresh and crispy. Highly recommend. The wings were good, but didn’t have as much meat as I usually like. Papaya salad had great flavor, but the cabbage was a bit hard to cut to eat (not a big deal). We were a little disappointed with the crab fried rice as it lacked a lot of flavor and the crab was minimal. Pad thai was pretty good, but I’ll definitely be ordering more things to try next time I come.

Come here if you want bomb Thai Street Food that is different from your regular Thai Food joints. If you want Beer Lao, this is one of the only restaurants that have it in San Diego.

Great food and atmosphere. Will come again to try more! Try the wings they are sweet and spicey but not too spicy.

Kin Len is a fantastic Thai restaurant in San Diego. We tried their papaya salad, wings, pad Thai, and ground beef dish, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. It almost felt like we were transported to Thailand. The service was exceptionally friendly and kind.
