Thai fare with standout fried chicken, crab curry, and roti
"Here’s another food truck getting a brick-and-mortar enhancement. Kiin Di’s current menu is perfect for anyone who appreciates heat in their Thai dishes, a la their intense Dang! Curry. The truck, which was parked at Corner Bar, has closed, and the new location will be nearMatt’s El Ranchoon South Lamar." - Matthew Jacobs
"The dishes at Kiin Di come with punchy names like Rip & Dip Roti, Killer Noodles, and Dang! Curry—they’re all hints that your casual Thursday night dinner run is about to get more exciting. The Thai-style fried chicken successfully tests the upper limits of poultry crunchiness, and crispy soft-shell crab swimming in a pool of creamy egg curry might just be one of the best curries we’ve eaten out of a food truck. It’s parked at Corner Bar in South Austin, so you can grab a beer to help ease you through some of the spicier dishes." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"When you’re sick of Thai restaurants that seem to just shuffle around the same dozen or so menu items, head to Kiin Di instead. You’ll find dishes like Rip & Dip Roti, Killer Noodles, and Dang! Curry that all add a bit of intensity to an otherwise chill Thursday night dinner run. The Thai-style fried chicken successfully tests the upper limits of poultry crispiness, and crispy soft shell crab swimming in a pool of creamy egg curry might just be one of the best curries we’ve eaten out of a food truck. It doesn’t hurt that this truck is parked at Corner Bar, a chill, mostly outdoor sports bar in South Austin. Grab a beer from inside—it’ll help with the spice, or at least help you forget about it." - nicolai mccrary
"Find fantastic Thai fare at the Zilker food truck parked outside Corner Bar, especially the roti with a curried dipping sauce, gai tod (traditional Thai fried chicken served on its own or with ginger rice and pickled cucumbers), and stir-fried noodles. First-timers would also do well to order the old-school pad thai and Thai boxing chicken wings served with dry spices (like spicy chile lime) or a sticky and spicy tamarind sauce. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Through their Zilker truck, co-owners and chefs Panyada Chaikantha, Bee TP and Chris Matthana hone in on really well-made flavorful Thai dishes, from the creamy soft-shell crab curry, Thai-style fried chicken and pad thai. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas courtesy of host site Corner Bar." - Erin Russell
