I ordered takeout through Uber Eats. I was surprised such a great restaurant was available after 11pm on a Sunday! I’m vegetarian and loved all the options they had. The popia tod were huge and crispy and still piping hot upon delivery. The veggie dumplings tasted fresh and homemade. Loved that they offer soy curls as a protein option! The noodle dishes were huge, like 2-3 decent sized portions worth. Will definitely order again.

The pad Thai is the driest and most flavorless pad Thai I’ve ever had. The crab rangoons just had blobs of cream cheese in, no imitation crab or special spices just straight up blobs of cream cheese

Before the pandemic, I used to order the pad see ew from KinnKao and it was the best I’d ever had. I have ordered it twice in the last 6 months and it is just awful. The most recent time I ordered it, there were gritty bits that made it feel like I had sand in my mouth. The chicken was tough, the noodles weren’t cooked well, the veggies were raw, and there was no flavor. I do not recommend this place anymore.

Delicious northern Thai style street food served in a twinkly mirrored room. The loungy tables and music add to a discotheque vibe. (It’s totally quiet enough for conversations though!) If you’re familiar with Portland Thai food, Pok Pok is probably is probably most comparable, with the food at Kinn Kao being equally good, plentiful, and quite a bit cheaper.

During the Covid time I ordered deliveries from Kinn Kao. Delicious Northern Thai food. My favorite is Khao soi noodle soup! Different flavors and tests from traditional Thai food and it’s new experience. I want to try every single dish on the menu!

Their food is super bomb every time I get their fried chicken my man talks about it all night. Sometimes we even get them twice a week. I tried to get them last night, but my Uber eats driver messed it up and I never got it. Still I would order from them again.. Hopefully I can try their actual restaurant one day.

Great Northern Thai food. They have a great little cozy lounge space in the back of the space and a happy hour menu through 7pm.

This place is the same as sweet basil thai and full moon Thai. They accidentally put the “Sweet Basil” sticker on the top of my takeout container. I keep trying to find a better place and don’t look at addresses on apps like GrubHub and DoorDash. So I accidentally order from this same place under a different name. Food is middle of the road in quality. Not awful but not great either.
