Finally made our way back to our #1 Thai spot in SD. We've been craving for Thai food for weeks now and decided to fulfill that cravings after a quick walk around UTC La Jolla. Been here multiple times and always forget to leave a review and give the "5 Stars" they deserved. Ordered:Braised Beef Panang Curry - beef so tender..cooked in lemon grass and coconut with green beans and carrots. Its rich savory flavor made us order extra rice. We choose just "mild" spiciness. 5 of 5Pad Thai Noodles (Shrimp) - perfectly cooked noodles with the right amount of tamarind sauce and toppings. Good size shrimps too. 5 of 5Fresh Spring Rolls (Shrimp) - freshly made rolls with peanut sauce and savory dipping sauce. 4 of 5Thai Tea - so good and refreshing. 5 of 5Located at the Sky Deck Del Mar. Lot of parking space for our 1130am lunch.Great customer and quick service. Strongly recommended for Thai dishes!

Came as a party of 2 on a Sunday at 7 PM. Conveniently located in Sky Deck, you can order at any restaurant in the vicinity via QR code which is a bonus. You definitely pay for the ambiance more than the quality of the food. The atmosphere is pleasant, elevated, and comfortable, making it a good spot for a meal with friends or family. However, the inconsistency in the food quality and the expensive pricing make it hard to give this restaurant a higher rating.Spicy Noodle - 5/10 - no spice and it was oilyPad Thai - 6/10 - standard taste but SD has plenty of Thai restaurants that are better quality and cheaper

one of the best thai restaurants i've been to in san diego! the pad see ew is absolutely delectable, with a great balance of noodles to vegetables to protein to sauce. i just wish there was more. the pork crispy rolls are also the perfect appetizer! the first time i ordered it, i was not expecting much. but now, it is a go-to part of my meal whenever i come. the servers are always very nice and attentive. the restaurant is located in the del mar highlands skydeck, so the interior is very aesthetic. but since it's one restaurant in a larger warehouse-y building, noises can be a bit echoey and it can be a bit loud sometimes, but it's not the worst. overall, i would highly recommend kiin thai!

Was not excepting decent Thai food in a "food court" nearby home. Their pad thai and pad see eww are great. The noodles are cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. Their duck is the highlight and surprising it's cooked very well. Nice bold flavor and not overcooked at all. Duck is not very forgiving and if overcooked can be very stringy but not this place. They braised it and skin is nice and crispy. Highly recommend the duck protein here. We also got their panang curry with beef and the beef is very tender and cooked perfectly, their rice is also very aromatic and cooked perfectly.

Kiin is my favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. The food always tastes so fresh and high quality. The Pad Thai is my go to choice but all the curry dishes have such depth of flavor. There are many choices for those with gluten free or vegan diets. The decor is so cute and the staff is always so friendly. I've recommended Kiin more than any restaurant in the area.

This place is very pretty, but that's pretty much the only good thing about it. My friend and I started with Tofu Spring Rolls. They were small, bland and had the worst peanut sauce I think I've ever had. For my actual meal, I got their Spicy Noodle, which is supposedly one of their most popular dishes. The dish I got was soo greasy/oily, it was disgusting. I only ate about 25% of the dish and it ended up making me sick with how much oil there was. Also, there was no spiciness to it at all and no real distinctive flavor. The only part of it I enjoyed was the shrimp. Neither my friend nor I enjoyed anything from this place and would not come back.

The. Best. Thai. Ever. So delicious, and so much flavor. It's incredible that they don't use any fish sauce or oyster sauce, because each dish has so much flavor. Only thing I wouldn't recommend getting is the spring rolls, just because there are so many other awesome dishes to try. Some of our favorites: coconut shrimp, see iw, and red curry. The thai tea was also so good! Despite being so busy on a Sunday, the servers were very kind and patient with us. And the ambiance was great (it's in the Del Mar Sky Deck, top floor). I will be bringing everyone I know here, lol. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants :)

Met up for lunch with a couple of girlfriends who also live in suburbia... We appreciated the convenient location at Sky Deck and enjoyed the open air, modern decor. Service was pleasant and accommodating as well.I arrived late so only managed a photo of my own order, the Chef's Signature Braised Beef Panang Curry served on a bed of steamed green beans and carrots with choice of rice (I picked organic brown, which came adorably shaped in a heart - perhaps to emphasize its heart-healthy and antioxidant attributes? ;). While the beef was certainly tender and the lemongrass-infused-in-coconut-milk sauce flavorful, the dish as a whole was what I'd expect from any good Thai resto rather than "extraordinary" as marketed. :P

I got the pad Thai with chicken with medium spicy (3/10). It was flavorful and had a perfect amount of spice. It was a giant plate that I was able to take 1/2 home. Or it would be perfect to split.I ordered through the Understory Bar in the middle which please note they already put a service charge automatically which I didn't realize so I added another tip.

From the minds that brought to you Plumeria comes, Kiin Extraordinary Thai. My family loves Plumeria so when we asked if Kiin was a sister restaurant it was a given that we'd sit down for dinner here at Skydeck in Del Mar. The whole food hall is gorgeous and the ambiance is casual and trendy. I didn't take any pictures but Kiin was dressed up for the Halloween season so yay for being in the spirit. Food was good. Portions were sizable. 1st place: Kiin Noodle Soup-generous chunks of braised beef (or duck if you prefer) in a five-spice broth. Its advertised as a Thai street food. Runners up: Pad see ew, standard though not spectacular. Steeamed fish with spicy lime vinaigrette, was okay bc the fish seemed bland to me still. Wish was in the race: We love the larb at Plumeria. No larb here. We love the flower cups at Plumeria. None here too. They should add those on. Would be a hit with the Del Mar crowd.
