Very interesting Michelin star Thai restaurant. For dinner they offer prefixed menu and order to share menu. Three of us ordered two appetizers, two main dishes and could not finish. Appetizers are very generous portions, hot chicken wings are delicious. The highlight of dinner is the pork belly, it melts in the mouth, the flavor is great, not feeling heavy at all. Beef is very nice too. We ordered black rice pudding as dessert, it is a little bit too sweet. The service is very attentive, when we got seated, there is a handwritten card for our occasion which is very nice! The dining environment is cozy. My only complaint is that when they bring the dish over, they do not explain the details of the dish, that is what I expect from Michelin star.

Such a wonderful dining experience! It is unlike tour “typical” Thai menu, and gave us the opportunity to try dishes we’ve never had before. We opted for the multiple-course meal with set menu, and had so much fun trying so much food.
The wings are hot, so watch out! Those peppers are sneaky! Reservations highly recommended.

The restaurant is nice in a way. Has a slight boutique feel to it. The food while good, I don’t see how it differs from any good Thai restaurant. The black rice pudding was good and I like the spicy chicken. We had a side of rice, the noodle vegatarian style and the salad. Overall, I say give it a try if you are a fan of Thai food and in the area.

We were staying in the downtown area, and we don’t want to get out of the neighbourhood due to safety and temperature reasons. And more importantly, we had too much steaks or sandwiches in the past 2 days, therefore, we wanted to eat some non Western food. Scrolled through the Google map and managed to find this michellin one star ⭐ Thai restaurant.
We arrived at around 645, and the restaurant was fully seated. Thus, the server aksed if we wanted to sit at the bar in order to avoid the queue. Surely we took the offer. It actually was quite nice sitting at the bar because we can see how thr bartender was making and shaking the specially prepared cocktails. And also, the kitchen window was just next to us, so all of the dishes they made must passes through our seats.
All of the food were amazing except the brussel sprouts which is burnt!

Food- 4.5/5. We got the Mushroom Hor Mok, Namprik Long Rua, and clams (special of the night). Loved the mushroom, the flavorful curry mouse pairs super will with the crispy rice cakes. Namprik Long Rua is very salty but it reminds me of legitimate south East Asian food. The flavorful sauce and pork belly also pairs well with the huge variety of vegetables. The clams were ok. It was tasty but had an interesting slight bitter taste to the sauce. Was a little disappointed by how many clams were barely open.
Drinks- 5/5. Tried the Tom Yum 2.0 and Thai style old fashion and both were very well mixed and creative. Enjoyed both.
Service – 4.5/5. Our waitress was very friendly and pleasant. There were people constantly checking on our table to take away empty plates. Only slight complaint is that food / drinks came out a little slow. To be fair the restaurant was really busy on a Saturday night.
Recommend making a reservation in advance.

Really delicious meal at Kin Khao. We had the Nom Tok beans, tomato salad, Khao Yum , Pad Kee Mao, and Delicata Penang curry. They have a a lot of dishes that are veg forward and full of flavor. The first dishes came out super fast and continued with good pacing throughout the meal . This was my second time here and would come back again.

Had my bday lunch here and it’s quite disappointing. We got a small table that could hold all the dishes we ordered. We were rejected to switch to a bigger table even though there are a few available and it’s almost closing time. There is no bday special. Not even acknowledgment about a special occasion of the reservation. Average Bay Area restaurants do better than this. The food is still pretty good especially the stir fried noodles. Not that other Thai restaurants don’t have something very similar though.

Loved Kin Khao! Amazing wine selection to pair with Thai food and great cocktails/mocktails too. Highlights were the Hot Chicken Wings, Saeng Wah ceviche, and the Black Cod Gaeng Kua — absolutely Michelin star–worthy!

Overall great food, servers are awesome, but dang the atmosphere is very odd for a Michelin starred restaurant. Very very loud and chaotic inside. Hard to hear the people you’re with because it’s so loud.
I’ve been with people and solo and honestly solo is almost better because I don’t have to lean halfway over the table to hear people lol.
Quieter times are right at open and like an hour before close.
Side note, lunch is better than dinner imo. Their soups and broths are amazing.

Updated review (2025 visit):
We came back in 2025 (first visit in 2019) and ordered the mushroom hor, wild boar larb, sticky rice, and black cod curry.
• Mushroom hor (2/5): Very bland, with just a hint of spice.
• Wild boar larb (1/5): Tasted burnt and overly spicy, with no real depth. It lacked fat, sweetness, or acidity just heat.
• Sticky rice (2/5): Plain sticky white rice, no noticeable sweetness.
• Black cod curry (3.8/5): Probably the best dish we tried, but extremely rich. Has good acid and fatty, but doesn’t really sit well in our stomach. Maybe because it was empty.
To their credit, they did remove the larb from the bill.
