Dine like Thai royalty! At least that is what I imagined while eating at Kiin. Each dish was gorgeous and flavors reminded me of that from the old country. Still, price is rather steep for what you get - portions are small.
Food:
- Royal Thai platter with 4 types of dumplings (2 each). Not to be missed.
- Khao Yum. Rice dish with cucumber, pomelo, fried chili and sprouts. This is tossed with tamarind, soy sauce and spices. The colors are dazzling and it tastes good too.
- Beef short ribs. Melts off the bone and goes great with rice.
- Pomelo salad - My favorite because I always like Pomelo (tastes like a sweet grapefruit).
- Chuchee Tofu and mushroom - This is a veggie curry. Not really my kind of dish but my Vegetarian friend enjoyed alot.
Service: Seems fine. Did not really pay attention as we were having a really good time among ourselves. Perhaps that is the best kind of service one may hope for - unobtrusive without being lacking.
Other: Ambience is less "royal" - no prob. Only knocks against Kiin are the price and small serving for each dish. All in (food, taxes, 18% tip), the meal works out to approx. $50 per person.
Overall: I would definitely like to return perhaps to celebrate a special occasion or birthday.
