Kin Thai Street Eatery

Came here with my parents last Saturday for dinner. This place was amazing because we are from Los Angeles and the Thai food was just as good as back home. The things to get was the chive cakes, it was really unique. The glass noodle and prawn was delicious and a must get. Service was amazing from the entire staff, they were really busy too. We felt the staff was attentive and kept checking in on us. The ambiance had soft music playing in the background but you can still have a normal tone conversation. Parking: can be rough because it’s street parking.

We ended up eating here two days in a row, which already says a lot. Overall, most of the dishes were solid, and the service was consistently friendly and attentive. Here are some thoughts on the dishes we tried: Eggplant Salad 4.5/5 The seasoning was very well balanced, and the eggplant was soft, warm, and comforting. The only downside was the boiled egg: it was cold and didn’t absorb any flavor, which slightly took away from the dish. Still very good overall. A must try I would say. Crab Curry 4/5 A fragrant curry with a lighter texture. The flavor was pretty much what I expected from a good Thai crab curry — enjoyable and satisfying. Chicken Ravioli 4/5 The ravioli itself was just okay (it reminded me a bit of Chinese wontons in flavor), but the vegetables underneath were the highlight. They were surprisingly fresh and well-seasoned, and really elevated the whole dish. Pad Thai 2.5/5 This was disappointing for me. The sweet-and-sour sauce was very strong and lacking depth. It was served in a clump, the texture wasn’t great, and the chicken was quite dry. Unfortunately, this was the weakest dish we tried. Chicken Satay 3/5 While the dipping sauce had an interesting cumin note, and the sides and grilled bread were nice, but the chicken was dry and underwhelming. Moo Ping 4/5 Much better than the chicken satay. Nicely seasoned and enjoyable. Tom Yum Soup 4/5 Very good and comforting — flavorful, well-balanced. Mushroom Salad 4/5 Interesting and slightly unusual seasoning. The tofu and mushrooms had great texture, but it was very spicy for us. Recommended if you enjoy spicy food Overall, despite a few misses, we enjoyed the experience enough to return the next day. With good service and several standout dishes, it’s a place worth trying — just order selectively.

Went with my buddy to see what the hype is about. My buddy has been here before so he guided me on what to eat. Started off with the chive cakes and it was the best starters I had in awhile. The sauce complements the richness of the chive cakes. Between the 2 of us, we decide to get 3 main dish. Spaghetti kee mao, massaman curry, and the khao soi. Starting off with the spaghetti kee mao, there was only two options for meat: impossible meat and the sausage. We opted for the sausage and it was okay. The second dish that came out is the massaman curry. This was actually my favorite dish of the night. Had a lot of warm spices and the beef was very tender. Perfect for a cold night. The khao soi was the third dish and it was delicious. Probably the second best dish out of the main. It had a mix of crispy noodles on top and regular noodles on the bottom. In terms of the soup itself, it was on the thicker side. Looser than the curry but not thin like normal soup. Sticks to the noodles better. To round it all off, we got the green Thai tea which feels a bit lighter than the Thai tea version. I would definitely come back again and try different things. The boat noodles is on that list for sure.

The boat noodles and curry soft-shell crab at this Thai restaurant are truly authentic and delicious. The flavors are well-balanced and memorable. However, the service staff felt a bit understaffed, and improving service would make the dining experience perfect.

Chive Cake – Crispy and delicious. Curry Puff (V) – Nicely seasoned potato filling, very tasty. Pork Rib – Unreasonably small portion for the price. Extremely dry (seems like it was fried earlier and reheated), overly salty, and I don’t understand why they added vinegar. Satay Chicken – Two very plain chicken breasts, and the sauce doesn’t taste like satay at all. Khao Soi – The curry sauce and noodles are good, but the chicken leg is bland—it tastes like plain steamed chicken.

Ordered a few items to try. Green curry chicken had good heat but too sweet to my liking. The chicken massaman curry was also too sweet for this typical dish. Chicken is boiled but lacks a little flavor. Tom Yum had less heat with some heat. Good amount of ingredients. Pad thai acne be skipped. Shrimp clay pot was okay with large shrimps. Thai tea was decent.

I am a huge Thai food fan, and really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately I think there are better places to eat Thai food in Sacramento than here. I had lunch here by myself. I ordered the chive cakes, and the massaman curry. The chive cakes were a little bland and greasy, but I was still able to enjoy them. The curry in itself was flavorful, but the potatoes were undercooked/though and lacked seasoning/salt. Sadly I won't be in a hurry to come back.

A nice midtown gem for Thai feed. More unusual regional items, all with different flavor palates. One of our friends doesn’t like anything with spice, so fried chicken with delicious crispy skin was perfect. Very moist. We’re coming back! Need to try more items. Will go early to get one of tables with bench seat for my back! Parking worked for us, but sometimes hard in this area

Ridiculously good food. Holy mother of god. Get the beef bone broth soup. Get it And the Thai green iced tea, perfect way to end the meal.

The food was overall, flavorful and came out fast! We ordered the thai iced tea, crab rangoon, seafood pad cha and chicken pad thai. The main highlight for us was the seafood pad cha! We were surprised how fresh the seafood was and devoured it easily. The pad thai was on the sweeter side which I don't really prefer but still good. Our waiter was super attentive and the staff was great.

Centrally popular location at the crossroads of vibrant midtown Sacramento serving notably more unique (less often seen) nonetheless delicious authentic Thai cuisine Food: Chicken satay - 5/5 - delicious grilled chicken skewers with peanut sauce and a side of pickled veggies Moo ping (pork skewers) - 4/5 - pretty good, not exceptional Crab fried rice - 5/5 - worth the price!!! It's expensive but generous with the jumbo lump crab Egg-wrapped Pad Thai with prawns - 4/5 - it literally is Pad Thai, that's wrapped up in a fried egg omelette (kind of gimmicky); not actual prawns but with jumbo shrimp Pad Thai with chicken - 4.5/5 - very good but not exceptional Tom yum goong fried rice - 5/5 - another delicious option for fried rice with a spicy Thai flavor and jumbo shrimp Green curry with chicken - 5/5 - perfectly sweet and spiciness along with some select veggies that go really well together Yellow curry with chicken - 4.5/5 - loaded with a variety of veggies which were nice but made finding the chicken sometimes difficult Massaman curry with beef - 5/5 - delicious potato and peanut based curry Pandan coconut crepe cake - 5/5 - so decadent delicious ... this is one of my all-time favorite desserts!!! Ambience: Mimics the outdoor Thai street food vendors Service: No complaints

Ordered some Khao Soi for takeout and it was so delicious! Loved that the noodles and other ingredients were packaged separately from the creamy broth. Customer service is very friendly. Interior of the restaurant was beautiful- casual yet elegant from the dark wood to thoughtful decor. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon. We ordered the oyster mushroom salad, the curry puffs, and the Tom yum goong fried rice. The oyster mushroom salad was my favorite. It was pretty spicy and very flavorful. It was fresh and the mushrooms and tofu were the perfect texture and flavor added to the salad- I've never had anything like it. We added some of the sauce from the oyster mushroom salad to the Tom yum fried rice and it made the Tom yum fried rice taste even better. They were very generous with their shrimps and they were very large. The curry puffs were also very tasty. The outer shell was warm and flaky and the pickled cucumbers balanced the flavors out very well. Overall, everything was very delicious and I would definitely come back!

Among the many restaurants I had bookmarked to try while in Sacramento, Kin Thai sat fairly high on my list. In part because I love Thai street food, but mostly because of all of the heady praise I had heard about them and the number of friends who recommended them. So, to say I was excited to unexpectedly come across this place after walking around the Midtown Farmer's Market would be quite the understatement! I mean, how could it feel anything but serendipitously when we had just started to debate on where to head off to for lunch? Stepping inside on such a hot and sunny day, Kin Thai felt like a refuge in more ways than one. Beyond just how good their A/C felt as it cooled us down, it was nice how cozy it felt in here. Even with all of the people and music going on outside, everything felt so relaxed and peaceful. Of course, our excitement as we scrolled through the menu added to the vibes as well. From their slate of rotating specials, appetizers, soups, and salads to their skewers rice plates, stir-fried noodles, and noodle soups, there were a number of dishes that caught our eye! So much so, in fact, that we somewhat regretted the fact that we didn't come here with friends so that we could try more things! -- CORN FRITTERS - Crispy Fried Corn Fritters Served with Cucumber Vinaigrette Sauce...$10 All in all, this was pretty solid. Each fritter was packed with corn and was fried to the perfect crispiness, but what impressed me most was how sweet they tasted and how they weren't nearly as oily as I feared they would be. Yum! -- TOM YUM SOUP - Hot and Spicy Broth with Dry Chili, Lemongrass, Makrut Lime Leaves, Fresh Oyster Mushrooms, Galangal, Lime Juice, and Shrimp (+$3)...$7 We got this on accident (we meant to get the noodle soup version), but I was happy to check this out. The soup was light and had a nice punch of that classic sour and spicy profile to it. However, I do wish it came with a bit more stuff in the bowl, as it felt a little scant. -- SOFT SHELL CRAB WITH CURRY SAUCE - Golden Fried Soft Shell Crab, Crab Meat, Yellow Onions, Green Onions, Celery, and Sweet Peppers in a Sweet and Savory Yellow Curry Sauce with Jasmine Rice...$32 I originally had something else in mind, but immediately flipped to this because it was so interesting. While the crab was delicious and mixed well with all of the elements, the curry itself was a miss. Mostly, it felt like it was broken, as it had a gloppy consistency instead of being smooth and creamy. -- TOM YUM NOODLE SOUP - Choice of Thin Rice Noodles or Egg Noodles, Seasoned Ground Pork, Roast Pork, Fish Balls, Fish Cake, Crispy Wonton Skins, and a Soft Boiled Egg...$20 Interestingly, this tasted different than the soup, as it was a bit milder and not nearly as spicy or sour. That said, this wasn't bad. I'm not high on fried wonton skins, and the noodles were jus tokay, but I liked how it came with a generous amount of fish balls/cake and roast pork. As far as service goes, I thought the workers were all pretty nice and friendly from the moment we walked in. Which, in turn, is why I feel as guilty for not thinking as highly of the food as so many of my fellow Yelpers. Honestly, it has less to do with anything being "bad" and more to do with nothing living up to the hype that we kept hearing. Despite how good the fritters were and how unique the Soft Shell Crab Curry was, the latter was closer to okay relative to its price and the other two dishes we had were more fine than fantastic. With all of that having been said, considering how beloved Kin Thai is, it's also entirely possible (probable?) that we simply didn't order the right things. At the very least, a couple of the dishes we tried aren't what I usually measure Thai restaurants by, so perhaps I would've had better luck with the things I normally get. If/when the opportunity arises for me to come back, I most definitely want to see if that ends up being the case!

I had a nice dinner here at Kin Thai. I was very hungry as I only had eaten an apple at 10am, and it was already 6pm. So as my coworker likes to say, "my eyes be pimpin my brain" because I ordered too much food. In my defense, the pics for the quail egg wontons showed three, and I got six! And they were yummy! The wontons were perfectly fried and the quail egg gave a nice pop to the bite. I think even if I wasn't ravenous, the egg wrapped pad thai could be shared between two people. I could only eat about 2/3 of the plate. The egg was paper thin, and it was fun cutting it to reveal the noodles. The shrimp was very plump and cooked just right. Presentation was beautiful! I like a strong tamarind flavor and this pad thai didn't quite have it. Maybe the sauce needs some more time to develop. The menu did say they cook northern Thai cuisine, so maybe it's me who's not familiar with this version. It was a Monday night so it was really quiet, even with the few groups of people there. I imagine it gets more foot traffic closer to the weekend. The restaurant is spacious and can accommodate parties of various sizes. I like the woodsy decor. And the wait staff were really nice and refilled my water often. It was scorching hot in Sac and I finished my glass often. I'd love to come back and try one of the curries.

The food was really good. I went with three of my friends and I got to try all of their food too and everyone's food was Poppington asf. The look of the restaurant is very modern and quaint. Also had really nice dim lighting it's definitely cute. Service was okay just a lot of young people distracted and on their phones it was hard to get their attention sometimes but not bad just not supper attentive. I will definitely be back. Food was 10/10 overall experience 9/10 for service.

We stepped in to Kin Thai after having passed by the location sooooo many times, not realizing it was a restaurant. . . From the street, it's kind of hidden, so know where you are going. Inside is wide open with lots of tables. When we arrived on a Sunday evening, we were told at the door they don't have tables available, but we could sit at the window counter. HMMM lot's of open tables though... The tables themselves are made of heavy wood and the seating is wrought iron with heavy wood (and hard) seats. Definitely NOT designed for anyone to linger after dinner. Kin Thai still uses the QR code system for placing your orders. But, they do have physical menus if you ask. Personally, I am so over the QR code menu system. For dinner, we had: Eggplant salad - very good Chicken satay - pretty standard Massaman curry beef - Excellent (ask for spicy and you won't be disappointed) The price and the amount of food delivered was plenty for two people. In the time we were there, the place quickly filled up, they all dined, and all left by the time we were finished with our meals. . . not that WE were lingering, but it just seems like this is how the patrons eat here. FAST...

We were so excited to try Kin Thai. The restaurant is located in an amazing and central location in Sac. However, I was pretty disappointed with the food. I ordered the Pad See Aew with Tofu as well as a Thai Iced Tea. The thai iced tea was delicious. Pretty much our whole table ended up ordering one to drink. However, the noodles were very bland and there could have been more sauce on the dish. Also, the only vegetable it was served with was chinese broccoli so the proportion of noodles to veg to protein felt off. We also came to Kin Thai thinking there were a lot of vegetarian options but there were actually a lot of restrictions if you like the more popular dishes like green curry and pad thai - both of which could not be made vegetarian. On a positive note, the restaurant itself was very spacious and clean. And the staff was very accommodating to our party and kind. But overall, probably won't be coming here again.

Upon our arrival at Kin Thai Street Eatery in Sacramento, the friendly and hospitable staff greeted us with genuine warmth. They promptly escorted us to a neatly arranged table, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. The extensive and enticing menu presented us with a lovely dilemma - choosing from the tempting array of dishes was no easy task. However, we eagerly embraced the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the flavors of Thai cuisine. Indulging our appetites, we decided to start with the rolls, which were a perfect combination of flavors and textures. However, the true highlight of our culinary adventure was the Thai boat soup. Its rich and aromatic broth, brimming with an exquisite medley of spices and ingredients, was a revelation for the taste buds. Each spoonful was a delightful revelation, and I savored every last drop of this utterly delicious creation. The food and service were incredible. I'm already looking forward to coming back here. This dining experience was truly exceptional!

Food: Love everything but the Pas Thai. It tasted very plain. The plating is very beautiful! Service/Ambiance: The service was friendly and was doing a good job for being the only one on the floor at semi-busy time! I WILL SAY THE AC AND FAN WAS BLASTED tho to be fair it was 100 degrees outside lol

Great Thai restaurant. I have already returned twice in the past month. It has a very casual atmosphere. I can't wait to go back!

One of my favorites but can get pretty pricey! The portions are always big and I definitely leave stuffed! Great selection of drinks and I love that they have kombucha here. Service is fast and the staff is there to address any concerns. Favorite thing off the menu would have to be the curry puffs and egg-wrapped pad Thai.

Best Thai restaurant in Sacramento! We saw their profile on some local news and decided to give it a try. We ordered mushroom salad, calamari, chicken satay, sausage, fried rice special and their fried chicken. Everything was tasty, flavorful and on point. Calamari: I hate chewy calamari so I was so delighted to taste that their calamari is so soft in the inside but very crispy on the outside. I highly recommend it. The sausage and stay were both very good as well. Mushroom salad was good but it was too spicy for me so my husband happily ate it. Fried rice special was very flavorful. It has sausage, an egg, some veggies. I loved it so much, we ordered one to go. Fried chicken was so crispy and delicious. The inside was so soft and falls off the bone. Definitely try this one. Service was good and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place. Lots of street parking but not sure on Saturdays when they have farmer's market. It's located between Azul restaurant and Pete's coffee.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Sac! Located in Midtown and parking can be difficult, but there is some street parking about a block away from the restaurant. The workers are very friendly and were quick to bring our food out. Items ordered: - Khao Soi with slow braised chicken ($17): I love the creamy and sweet flavor of this dish! The portion fills you up quickly and the soup is rich and full of a curry-like flavor. The chicken was very tender and comes as 2 large bones. A great dish for a cold or rainy day! -Tom yum soup with chicken ($7): The soup comes in a small bowl so it's meant as a single serving. I wish it came as a bigger size so I could share with others. The soup was sour and tangy and came with many mushrooms which I liked. Not super spicy too. I have also tried the Massaman Curry before which is one of their signature dishes and the flavor was immaculate. Definitely recommend Kin Thai for their amazing food!

Solid food but very disappointed by the rotten mangos I was served for the mango sticky rice. I came here for lunch and got several items. It seemed very cozy with lots of seating. The server was patient and helpful in picking items off their extensive menu. My favorite was definitely the pad thai that was egg wrapped. We also got other items like the chicken plate. The chicken was very crunchy and it came with lots of small additions which was fun. However, the downfall was the mango sticky rice. They served me rotten mango. I think as a restaurant, if you open a mango and see it is not fresh, you should use a different once instead of serving it. Overall, I think this place has food that you can't find in other thai restaurants but I was pretty disappointed by the lack of care for fresh ingredients.

Love the design and service. The food presentation was also well done. The food was delicious. The Ga Prao had peppers in it that had a good spicy kick. Love it. Parking is on the street, we were lucky enough to find close parking. It located right next to Pete's coffee.

Surprisingly, tasty! My party and I were honestly a little hesitant when we found out this restaurant served Northern Thai style. But we were super happy to learn how amazing everything was. We came pretty close to closing, so we ended up ordering takeout instead of dining in. Servers were really nice helping us out. I got the pad thai and fried quail egg appetizer. The appetizer came with 2 skewers of 3 eggs and some sweet chili sauce. Realistically, nothing super special, but it was tasty. Now, the pad thai was amazing. Large chunks of egg and thin brisket pieces made it different from. Other pad thais I had, but it added great texture. The noodle textures and flavor were really great, too! Could've been a bit more acidic , but still solid. Special shout out to their packaging. The "ice cream" containers were so cute and really retained the heat! It was still hot after 30 mins.

Delicious Thai food with a street food twist! Definitely a place that earns its merit for both taste & experience--that said, be prepared to perhaps venture out from your usual Thai orders with this menu. My only critique is I found most dishes on the salty side--would probably consider ordering a side of white rice in the future, to balance between bites. Cute interior design, spacious seating, & friendly family staff gave the place cozy yet modern vibes. My biggest advice: Leave room for dessert--the coconut pandan crepe cake is a must try!!

Food 5/5. Get the Khao Soi, it's so good and you get a lot of chicken for the portion! Such good depth of flavor and so comforting. Service 2/5. SOOOO slow on the night we went. It was fairly busy but it took forever to have someone take our order and then for our food to come out. We were sitting there for two hours when we just wanted a quick casual meal out. It might have been an off night, I don't know. Overall 3.5/5, would be a 5 with more attentive service!!

Ordered Chicken Satay, tom kha , and yellow curry with tofu to go. Ended up with pad Thai , tom kha , and yellow curry with no tofu. Called the restaurant to see if they could fix it. Woman answered the phone and argued with me about what I ordered and then passed me to a man who insisted there was tofu in the yellow curry and that I ordered pad Thai. After 5 mins of him saying there was tofu in the yellow curry when I was staring at the dish I gave up. Extremely rude , unhelpful, and horrible customer service. This isn't the first time this has happened. Sad bc this place used to be good. Don't waste your time here.

Came by on a weekday late afternoon for lunch for a table of 8. Service was nice and the food was good! if i'm around the sacramento area again i'd definitely come by again for a visit Pad thai had good flavor, i think it just didn't have that nice wok hei flavor to it. Chives radish cake? Really good but i think it was kind of bland. It didn't have a strong enough chive flavor but it was still tasty with the sauce Their beef curry stew was delicious. Wasn't spicy it was more sweet. Tender beef and tender potatoes. This one was really good Crab omelette was also delicious! Lots of crab filled the inside but it was really oily. Tasty, but oily. I'd definitely come back if i'm in the area again!

I visited Kin Thai Street Eatery on Wednesday, 12/13/23, during lunchtime. I decided to order the Thai Ravioli and the Mee Pad See Ew. The Thai Ravioli was delicious as an appetizer. It paired well with the house-sweet soy sauce. The bok choy was also tasty. Unfortunately, the Mee Pad See Ew was a disappointment. The dish came out to be bland/flavorless. I had to add lots of chili sauce to help out the flavor profile. Additionally, Pad See Ew dishes can be prepared either with fine rice noodles or wide rice noodles. In this visit, it was my first time trying the fine rice noodles in general. I wasn't too much of a fan. I prefer wide rice noodles. The customer service was average at best. I came at a busy time, and there was only one person on the floor. It took a bit of time to receive water refills. Overall, I'm not too sure if I'd return to this restaurant. If I do, I'd order the Thai Ravioli again.

Decided to try this place out after reading others reviews. The food is outstanding. Super fresh and tasty. The service is quick and friendly. The ambiance is cool and fun. The tables are large and spaced out well to accommodate a stroller. Ate here without the kids but noted a family that brought in a stroller and little one. We will be coming back so many foods we want to try. My tweens would love this spot. I plan on burning them back next time I go. Eat here you will be happy you did. 1 note - parking is crazy and you have to be patient to park to get there but it is worth the wait. Great food!

I had arrived with my cousin who is in need of a service animal and we were denied service. The employee was extremely rude and hostile, claiming that her service dog was not one because he was not wearing a vest or a guiding harness. Under ADA guidelines, a dog does not need these two things to meet the requirements of a service animal. An animal need only be trained to provide a service to aid in a disability. We felt incredibly insulted and dehumanized by his discrimination. I highly suggest further training on ADA compliant animals to the staff, this was a horrible experience. They are not friendly or accommodating towards disabled people. Not all disabilities are visible.

Hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in Sacramento! I've been here so many times and enjoyed my experience every time. I've eaten most vegetarian items on the menu but I always have to order their pad thai as they have the flavor perfected. It's not too sweet or savory and the noodles are always perfectly cooked. Authentic flavors, great portions, aesthetic dishes, and reasonable prices! This will always be my go-to Thai restaurant!

I come here after each SacAnime for some delicious Soft Shell Crab Curry, it is always a highlight of my trip to Sacramento! This last Saturday, I was showing my older Brother and his young kids SacAnime while they were in CA. After a long day of walking, we headed to Kin Thai for some well needed Thai food. We were blessed with incredible service from our very helpful server Daniel. My nephews have always been on the picky side, so we were expecting to have a tricky time of getting them to try some new dishes. We were pleasantly surprised however, Daniel was able to help pick out some dishes that they might enjoy, which they did, brought out a small sample of black rice for them to try and some coloring books for the kids to occupy themselves with. By the end of the night, everyone was plumb full and one of the kids was bosting how it was the best food he had every had! He had the Pad Thai. My brother had their Crab Omelet and loved it. I'm sure you can guess what I had and how much I enjoyed it. They also have excellent desserts, I've tried them all. Anyway, if you're in Sacramento and in the mood for some Thai food, come give Kin Thai a try and thanks again Daniel for a wonderful experience!

I guess I was not impressed with the food overall and I don't like the way they do the menus. I would come back here if my friend wanted too but I would not seek it out.

Ordered some takeaway this week from Kin Thai. I'd been really wanting to try this place but this strip of 20th Street can be a hassle to get to/park on so I'd been hesitant. That was a mistake. This place is awesome and I'd walk through fire to get food from here again. I had ordered a a green curry, chicken pad Thai, clay pot shrimp, satay, luuk chin ping (shrimp balls), and pla muk tod. The woman who ran out the food to my car (she def made it easy to pick up) was very nice and gracious. I noticed how quality the bag and the food packaging was. I honestly wasn't anticipating such good branding. It was only about a 5 min drive back to my house, but after 30 seconds of taking in the aromas, I contemplated speeding down one way streets the wrong way to get home quicker. My goshnesit smelled amazing. The food was an even greater joy to eat than it was to smell. The fish balls with the fish dipping sauce was delicious and funky. The green curry had the perfect amount of heat and the packaging was ingenious. The pad Thai was very quality and not the typical overly sweet versions most Thai places have. The dipping sauce for the squid was second to none. But the clay pot scrimps were the star. Those glass noodles were so flavorful, the shrimp cooked perfectly, not rubbery as most places do them. This place really offers a very unique view and take on Thai food and I have no problem saying, with only one trip there, Yanet it's one of the best in Sacramento. Def 5 stars and I'll def be back.

Delicious taste of Thai food! There are so many great options for authentic thai food and some other different creations! Kao soi is one generally one of my favorite thai dishes and Kin Thai has exceeded my expectations. The broth was so creamy and the toppings were perfect. My husband got the boat noodles, which was a newer dish for me, but the was surpassingly really good! The broth was herby and the meat perfectly cooked. The staff were super welcoming and also checked in on us frequently. Loved the vibe of the place. Very spacious with lots of seating.

We tried this place again and I ordered the ga prao with ground chicken and my partner ordered the yellow curry with chicken. My partner liked her meal and I really loved mine. It had a good spice level and I really liked the chicken, peppers, and overall flavor. The egg was a plus too. The service here was great, the food didn't take too long and they quickly took our orders and refilled our waters. I also like the indoor seating and general vibe indoors. I definitely recommend trying this place.

I come to this Thai restaurant almost every 2 weeks! Since they opened. last week I went there 2 days in a row.

This place has raving reviews and I'm not really sure why... the dishes ARE photogenic but that's about it. The Khao soi and Tom yum fried rice were not very flavorful. They weren't bland either but the flavors just felt off? Not as full-bodied?

I've had multiple people recommend Kin Thai, so knew I had to try it! Pad Thai is always a safe bet for me, so I knew I had to go with that. Portion size was pretty standard and same with all the toppings. I think the Pad Thai was good but I wish it was more flavorful! Mine was also very obviously missing enough sauce. Service I felt was pretty good. We went on a Tuesday night and there were still a good amount of people. It's located in a nice area surrounded by so many spots! Ambiance was very inviting. I would love to return and try some of the other menu items as everything sounded so good!

Came here for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and got seated right away. We ordered the Tom yum goong fried rice and massaman curry (we got intrigued by it being ranked #1 on World's Best Foods). The curry was good, but nothing mind blowing. I thought the star of the meal was the Tom yum goong fried rice as it was really flavorful and a unique twist to Thai fried rice.

This place is bomb! I came after seeing this place on TikTok and it did not disappoint. Everything was fantastic - food, service and drinks! I ordered the Thai "chicken and gravy" and my partner ordered the khao soi. We also started with skewers and the curry roti. Each dish had its own unique flavors, but I think the curry sauce here is what really impressed us. I honestly could've drank it because it was so good! The chicken and gravy came with rice and had the perfect amount of gravy to mix with the rice. The khao soi was the best! The noodles and chicken practically melt in your moth, the soup with it was so good. They also give you good portions here so we left with a good amount of leftovers that we got to enjoy the next day for lunch! I'd definitely recommend this place! 10/10!

Went here for dinner on a weeknight and it was packed. The area is nice and there were a lot of people walking in the area. We waited a bit for a table and was seated after about 15 min. Once we sat down, it took about another 30-40 min to receive our food after ordering. I was excited to try this placed. I ordered the Ga Prao and was a bit underwhelmed. It sounded good, but it was just missing something. The rice it helped a tiny bit, but I'm used to Thai food having that umami flavor that was missing from this dish. My brother in law ordered the boat noodle and that had a lot of flavor. Really good. Service was a bit lacking and slow as well (it was a full house). But I could tell the servers were overworked. I'll give it another shot and try something different on the menu next time, especially when it's less crowded.

My sister was visiting from out of town and I had to take her to Kin Thai Street Eatery! We arrived here at 12:00 and surprisingly the restaurant wasn't busy. We ordered several dishes to share since we're all hungry. We ordered Chive Cakes, Coconut Soup, Egg wrapped PadThai, and Gao Prau. First off the Chive Cales tasted amazing. It's like crispy sweet rice and the filling was chives. I would strongly recommend if you want to try something different. Not too many Thai places serve this. The Coconut Soup tasted okay, it tasted better once I added the Red Chili power in there to give it more taste. I honestly wouldn't order this again and wouldn't recommend this. The Egg Wrap Pad Thai tasted amazing! It's like a thin layer omelet and the filling is Pad Thai! The noodles were cooked perfectly. Paired with the Thai chili pepper... I'm drooling writing this review! Strongly recommend and also not too many Thai places offer this. The Ga Prao tasted amazing as well! Had to be one of my favorite dishes. It's a spicy basil dish. You can choose your protein, I chose pork belly. The Pork Belly tasted amazing! The sweetness paired well with the spice.. and the crunch though! I would order this again. I can eat spicy and this dish was perfect spice wise. (If you can't handle spicy I wouldn't recommend but if you do you got to try this dish!) Overall strongly recommend this place. Recommend bringing a group and do family style so that you can try different items in the menu.

I used to like here ALOT, in these 3 years, I been here at least 5-7 times, but today, is my first time coming here, and it gone down hill. The chicken is not as crunchy as it was, the pad Thai is a bit too wet, and the taste overall just different than before. A bit disappointed that they can't keep the quality. But services and environment was clean and chill.

$22 for boat noodles. Friendly service. $22 for BOAT NOODLES. Lovely decor. $22 FOR BOAT NOODLES. It was tasty, I'll give them that. To go container was garbage, made a soggy mess otw home. Small portion and also.... TWENTY TWO DOLLARS FOR BOAT NOODLES.

Can't give this place a high rating due to a lot of off stuff that happens here. I would give the food 4 stars though. Thai ravioli and wontons with quail eggs was really good. Pork skewer was tasty as well. Chicken satay, curry puffs and pa grao was below average. Not a lot of parking here, service was horrible. We called in literally 5 minutes before arrival and the lady told us 45 minutes wait. Got there and there was 5 tables empty and the guy sat us right away. What kinda bs stuff they pullling here? I personally wouldn't come back. Food just isn't worth it. But the 3 dish that were delicious kept this overall rating a 3 and not a 2 star. Ig famous for what?

It's been a while since I walked away from a restaurant feeling so good about my experience eating there. Kin Thai Street Eatery is a restaurant you can get excited about. When you first walk in, you get the vibe that you're going to get some really good, authentic food. The wait staff all look related - yeah, like it's a family business or something. :) Yes, it's family-run, I asked. The decor, the smell of Thai spice in the air, the tables filled with lots of people excited about their food - you just know you hit the jackpot in those first few moments of entering the restaurant. After studying the menu, we asked our waiter his personal favorites off the menu and he had that perplexed look. He didn't say it, but you could tell he was overwhelmed with his choices. He loved everything so much that he was hard-pressed to narrow it down. But narrow it down he did, and we took his advice. And I'm glad we did. GA PRAO (Crispy Pork Belly Stir-Fry) (5/5) This is the first dish listed in its category on the menu and I can see why. The flavors and spice in this dish were poppin' - the basil, the garlic-chili sauce, the heat of the chilis. Seriously good. Memories of our trip to Thailand (we went to eat) came flooding back. Would order again. WARM EGGPLANT SALAD (5/5) Favorite dish of the night. Fireworks in my mouth - not so much for the spicy heat, but for the exquisite harmony and goodness of the flavors. Incredible combination of the warm, sweet eggplant combined with ground chicken and a spicy coconut dressing that is just perfect. Such a winning dish - will try to re-create this at home. Will come back just for this dish alone. CRAB FRIED RICE (5/5) If CRAB FRIED RICE is on the menu at a restaurant, I order it. This one is the best I've had for sure and I've had some good ones. At $30, I hesitated before ordering it but the waiter gave an enthusiastic nod to it, so I felt pretty good about my choice. Plenty of big chunks of sweet crab throughout the dish and such a simple, delicate assembly of the rice, green onions and egg. Delicate meaning, they didn't fry the hell out of the rice. It was soft and buttery and utterly delicious. We couldn't stop eating it. Would come back just for this dish. MASSAMAN CURRY (3/5) This is the only dish that didn't have the pedal to the metal. It wasn't bad, but we wouldn't order this again. The pictures on Yelp of this dish will excite you - the big chunks of beef on top are so inviting but when the dish comes, there is no beef visible and it's visually disappointing if you've browsed Yelp pictures. Oh, the beef is there, buried in the curry but it's not what you see in the picture. The braised beef is underwhelming and the potatoes were undercooked. We brought most of this home. It'll be fine to have heated up the next day. We didn't try the usual suspects - the PAD THAI and the PAD SEE EW and others. But trust me, the menu will be further explored at a later date. Also on my to-try list, is the Fried Chicken that the waiter gave a shout-out to. The waiter also pointed to the list of salads and said they're ALL good. I believe him after tasting the Eggplant Salad! When I say you should try this place, I really mean it. Like I *really* mean it! Do not sleep on this one. Get on it asap and you will only thank me later. Before coming here, I read a Yelp review that said, "I would walk through fire to get food from here again." My sentiments exactly. Folks, we got ourselves a winner here.

Came here for the first time for a weekend late lunch. Upon entry a server told us to choose which ever open seating. There was a QR code on the table which we assumed was for the menu. Ordered their Pad Thai, good but not memorable. Thai turnip cake had good flavor but the cakes were soggy and wet, not crispy as described on the menu. Khao soi was what we really came to try! The curry broth was rich and flavorful and the chicken was fall off the bone tender, but the egg noodles were overcooked and too soft, to the point where they clumped together and broke when trying to pick up. Unfortunately, our server never came to check in on us during lunch and never refilled our drinks. Overall ambiance is good but food and service is just ok. There are better Thai restaurants in the Sacramento area worth trying instead.

This is a cute little Thai place but was interesting to me. Is when we wanted to order they asked us to scan the QR code for menu, but my husband eyesight is not good we ask for regular menu the older gentleman said they have none. BUT another group came in and ask for paper menu a young waiter handed the paper menu to them. Not a good vibe to start our dinner. The food taste good but the crab fried rice with a bit cold. The curry is delicious and the pad see ew was interesting because I've always had it with Chow fun noodles, but it came in this thin rice noodle, which was surprising. Not the same flavor not the same taste. We did not enjoy that.

First time in Downtown Sacramento and Kim Thai definitely didn't disappoint! The restaurant itself feels very modern and the bathroom sink is really cool (would recommend checking it out). Service was so quick and friendly! I think the restaurant is like a fusion place with a twist on classic thai dishes. Definitely an interesting concept which made it hard to decide what to order For the food, I ordered: Massaman Curry: Menu said that this was recommended by CNN so had to try it. I have no idea how the blend of spices listed on the menu work together but this curry was DELICIOUS. It was more a sweet curry that was not too heavy but had a lot of depth in flavor. I got it with the chicken and it came with SO MUCH CHICKEN. Not the most visually appealing dish but the flavors are great! The chicken was also super tender and easy to rip off the bone. The onions inside were also super sweet. Would definitely recommend this! Pleasantly surprised by this place and would definitely come back to try their other creative dishes!

Tried out this place after an event and was super hungry. They didn't have room so we ended up ordering takeout out and didn't expect too much from this place. Oh boy, although their style is northern, the pad Thai was probably one of the best I have had. It was more savory than traditional ones people are more likely used to and paired perfectly with some hot sauce. The beef pieces were a bit larger and thicker , but well cooked. I was hesitant because some reviews said it didn't taste good, but maybe they weren't aware it was a different style. Their to go container kept everything warm and was super cute. I definitely recommend trying this place!

Our favorite Thai restaurant in Sacramento. Foods are delicious and authentic. Egg wrapped Pad Thai is a must!! also, crispy pork belly stir fried with basil was wonderful. We also ordered Had Yai fried chicken, Chive cake, corn fritters, Isan steak, boat noodle soup and all of them are amazing. Especially, Thai Iced Green Tea that my friend requested for it since we didn't leave SF yet!! Nice decoration and staff is attentive and friendly. Highly recommended!!

Hands down best Thai in Sac. Many unusual items you won't find elsewhere, especially among the specials list that rotates. Calamari is super crispy and light. Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
