Profile

This venue is closed.

There's always been something pleasantly off-kilter about this place. If you walked in cold and checked out the large tables of politely raucous youth just on the brink of responsibility, you'd guess this venerably cool Soho hangout is probably known for its grilled salmon and smothered pork chops. Nothing about it suggests the spicy, untricky Thai food it serves up with no fuss. The menu touches all the bases: satay, pad Thai, tom yum gung. Kin Khao is a great compromise when you want something exotic and your visiting relatives want someplace hip. And the prices are so affordable you can reach for the check first and look like a success. — Hal Rubenstein

Note

In high season, Kin Khao only accepts reservations for parties of 6 or more.

I'm of Thai origin and must say that the food more than met my expectations. I will definitely go back to this restaurant!

I was shocked to see only one review of this restaurant and that it was negative! My recent visit was also my first and the food was excellent. The service was attentive and quick and I have recommended this place to my friends (Not that Kin Khao needs the positive buzz - the place was packed the night I went!).
