A standout Thai restaurant purposefully different from what we've come to expect of Thai food in Toronto, Kiin serves up dishes good enough for royalty...Literally! As explained by our waitress, the food and method of cooking are drawn from Royal Thai style cuisine. As you would serve royalty, dishes are prepared with utmost patience and intention. Some menu items are handmade as ordered and dyed with natural foods like turmeric, butterfly-pea flower, and beets. The foods aesthetic is only matched by the imported dishware it's plated on...I actually gasped when I saw the dish the Khao Yum was served in.
Food recommendations: Royal Thai Platter, and vegetarian friendly menu items Chor Ladda (handmade jasmine rice flour dumplings), Khao Yum (rice salad). Finally, a special shout out to the Thai fruit platter including Rambutan and Mangosteen. These fruits are imported directly from Thailand but due to seasonality they don't offer this year round.
This isn't your typical Thai food joint, so the food may taste less flavourful in comparison. I recommend going in with an open mind as it is a great place to check out if you want to experience a unique branch of the same cuisine.
