Kin'd has a nice exterior ambiance with floral decor, twinkling lights, and a wall of green leaves with its name. The wooden chairs, tables, and benches look perfect with their outside decor. Yes it's 'gram-worthy. Although the flowers will remind you of Spring and Summer seasons, I actually don't mind not seeing the yellow/orange/red/brown leaves Fall decor that we come to expect in this season.
Their restaurant is across from beautiful Cunningham Park, truly a strategic spot. Walk the park, get hungry, and then eat here. Or eat here, stuff yourself with good food, and then walk the park to help digest the delicious food that Kin'd offers.
The indoor decor gives minimalistic vibe. They have hanging plants, some large potted plants and a few fall pumpkin decor. The bar is to the left when you enter, although it doesn't seem to be a type of bar where you can sit and grab a drink there. Inside is quite spacious with their gray painted walls, white textured ceiling, and black and white chairs and tables. It's gives quite the opposite decor tone compare to the outside. Inside is contemporary minimalistic, while outside is fun, fresh, and trendy.
We were acknowledged and seated right away. The staff were friendly and our orders came quickly. They were good in replenishing our water.
In this late lunch-venture, we shared bangkok wings. The crispy skin balances the juicy tasty center, along with the sweet chili sauce. We ordered pineapple fried rice with chicken. Any savory dish with pineapple is double thumbs up for me. I love the extra crunch from the cashew nut. We also ordered one of their specials, duck over rice. I love me a good old duck dish! It comes with bokchoy, so I can get my daily veggie servings. Both dishes were of good portion. I had a matcha latte on my way there, so I was easily stuffed, and couldn't even finish my meal. They give you a Tupperware and a paper bag for your leftovers. Since we didn't order drinks, we shared a dessert instead. We got the chocolate lava cake with green tea ice cream. A perfectly sweet way to finish this lunch meal.
They have a lunch special of salad, appetizer, and entree EVERYDAY except holidays, from 12-4 and a super lunch special. That's awesome because some restaurants do not have lunch specials on weekends.
Kin'd is a neighborhood Thai gem, so yes, I will definitely recommend and come back to this restaurant!
Kin'd is pronounced Kin-Dee, which means to eat well in Thai.
