"The food was really good! I got pad krapao with an egg and a watermelon shake, tasted exactly like in Thailand. The atmosphere is nice, Thai music and design elements. All the staff are Thai, which also adds authenticity to this place. The only thing is that it’s a bit pricey, especially comparing to Thailand. But overall I’m satisfied. Will definitely eat here again!"

"Dinner at KIN KAO was a good choice, the red noodle soup with pork balls and the pork belly with rice were really good. Our server was very kind and it didn't take that much time to make the food, even though the restaurant was full. The only thing I didn't appreciate were the prices, I understand that the main dish is 88 HKD but I feel like 38 for lime soda with mint (or any other drink they offer) is a lot."

"Another Thai Food Exploration Captivated by the unique exterior of the restaurant, we decided to pay a visit to this restaurant. The food are authentic here. The crab meat omellete for us is the highlight. Egg is fluffy and goes well with the huge chunks of crab meat. It’s very savoury, full of flavor, and satisfying. Stir fry morning glory is up to our expectation, crunchy stems and aromatic. We love the pork neck as well. It’s tender with good seasonings, not to forget the perfect char on the outside. Curry was a bit too spicy, was okay for us. Deep fried marinated pork belly is a bit tough, we expect it to be crunchy and crispy. Flavor is there but the texture is not to our likings.

"This place doesnt allow reservations but so far it didnt look like it fills up quickly. The servers were super nice. My family is a mess and some arrived 30 min early and just sat inside to wait. I felt bad for the waiting time but the servers were very nice about it. One of the family wanted to pay so they gave money ahead of time before ordering and they accomodated that too. I like that they are all thai people. The food however was a bit mediocre. The pork cheeks were good and the dipping sauce was spicy and flavorful. The deep fried pork belly I found overly fried and dry and the belly part did not become crispy but instead chewy. The dipping sauce is the same. The spring rolls were ok. The boat noodles didnt come piping hot. The flavor of the soup was not as flavorful as other thai places. The pad thai was not bad and the stir fried mornig glory was also ok."

"This is my Fav Thai (takeout) near me! Run by a young group of Thais. I have been coming here since they open for their Crab Fried Rice and Steam Fish. Both so good! I tried their pork knuckles this week and OMG, I m going back for more! Mango Sticky Rice is pretty good too. **I had it on different days"
