Kin-D Thai Kitchen

After a much needed massage next door, my husband and I decided to try Kin-D Thai Kitchen in Redondo Beach. I'll admit, I was hesitant since we arrived at 8:00 PM, just 30 minutes before closing--we've all had that experience where late-night orders feel rushed or lack freshness. But not here!From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff was incredibly friendly and never made us feel like we were an inconvenience. The restaurant itself was spotlessly clean and had a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.Now, onto the food--wow! I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp, and it was phenomenal--the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy, with just the right amount of sauce. The noodles were cooked perfectly, the shrimp were plump and juicy, and the chicken was tender. My husband had the Pad See Ew with chicken, and we both couldn't stop raving about the rich, slightly smoky flavor of the wide rice noodles, coated in that delicious, slightly sweet soy sauce. The portions were generous, and you could tell everything was made fresh to order--no corners cut, even close to closing time.Kin-D Thai Kitchen is a hidden gem, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area. Fantastic food, great service, and a clean, welcoming space. We'll definitely be back!

Probably 4.5 but I rounded up.Upon tiring of the nearby Thai place that was inconsistent with uninspired service and almost impossible to order takeout via the telephone (always busy), I decided to try the new-ish spot nearby - Kin-D Thai Kitchen.It's pretty good!To be fair, I like my Asian cuisines pretty straightforward, void of mystery meats, fish heads and guts. So, I order pretty basic stuff.Fortunately, Kin-D serves up easily recognizable Thai food. Here's what I ordered recently:FRESH ROLL $12Shrimp and fresh vegetable wrapped with rice paper, served with a side of peanut sauce (6 pcs).EGGPLANT DELIGHT $15Sautéed eggplants with chili, basil, bell peppers, carrots and garlic.YELLOW CURRY $16Potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onions, simmered in creamy coconut milk and yellow curry sauce.PAD THAI $15Bangkok street style pan-fried noodles with eggs, green onions, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts.PAD SEE EW $15Stir-fried flat rice noodles with egg and Chinese broccoli.PINEAPPLE FRIED RICE $15Stir-fried white rice with egg, raisins, cashew nuts, pineapples, green onion, and yellow curry powder.Most of the dishes I chose chicken as the protein except shrimp with the pineapple rice - add $2.)I liked everything - not overly greasy with a touch of heat and flavorful without unidentifiable parts floating around.A real plus is the nice woman working the phone and counter - she's awesome - easy to understand over the phone, friendly and helpful while picking up to-go orders.I've yet to eat at the restaurant as it's tiny and not a lot of ambiance but it's clean and pleasant.4.5 stars, trending UP!*Prices are real world - EVERYTHING has gotten so expensive - I didn't think they were outrageous.

I found this place on Yelp, and based on the reviews, I was anxious to try. There are only a few tables/seats on the inside, as I think they cater more to take out. The young lady at the counter was very pleasant and offered suggestions, as this was my first time. I ordered Crispy Pork with spicy basil, Tom Khar soup with chicken, and pad Thai with chicken. As I waited to my food to be prepared, there was so much traffic in and out, so it made me even more excited to get home and dive in! Lol. I live roughly 10 mins from the restaurant, so by the time I got home, the pork was no longer crispy, but the flavors were so delicious, I could overlook the lack of crispiness from the moisture of the packaging. I would love to have it right after preparation. This dish was definitely the highlight and best out of everything I ordered.I wasn't very impressed by the pad Thai and Tom Khar soup. Those are my two favorite Thai items, and I have had them SEVERAL times at several different restaurants, so basically I know exactly what I do and don't like with these dishes. The presentation was cool, but I did not enjoy either dish. Both dishes left much to be desired. I would return for the crispy pork, but not the pad Thai or Tom Khar soup.

I love Kin-D Thai Kitchen! They serve authentic Thai food, and this place has saved me time while satisfying my cravings. I used to drive all the way to Thai Town in Hollywood for authentic Thai cuisine, but now I don't have to. As a Thai person, I proudly give Kin-D a thumbs up!

I'm surprised that I haven't written a review yet because I've been coming here since the space got rebooted with the new Kin-D Thai Kitchen team! I love it! We used to go often to two different nearby Thai restaurants, and although those are good, Kin-D is the one that crave the most because it most reminds me of my extensive time in Thailand! I will most often get the classic Thai Beef & Basil. It's excellent! I will also often get the Prik King or any of their curries, and my wife often gets Pad Thai or Pad See Ew. All of them are excellent lunch combos. Service is fast and friendly. The space is clean but tight for dine in so we usually take out.

The service here was friendly, and the food was good. The only disconnect (when comparing Kin-D to the former Thai restaurant which resided here) is that although this is more clean/modern, the prices went up and portions went down (less and smaller) comparatively. That being said, it's also the post-Y2KXX era of inflation, so things can't remain the same bargains as they used to for retailers and service providers to survive in the modern economy.I had the Pad See Ew, which is basically like a Thai version of Chinese Chow Fun, with the broad rice noodles pan/wok fried with sweet soy sauce and broccoli along with a choice of protein. My advice is "noodles are cheap with low cost of goods, so maybe increase the portion size to survive as a business because folks are accustomed to bigger portions from Asian restaurants and do family style dining often. It won't hurt the profit margins dramatically to add noodles, but the reputation and incremental business might benefit as a long term strategy, especially for repeat business and customer loyalty. So, I'd recommend this place for people to try, especially local residents in the neighborhood to support small business.Parking is easy in the shared lot.

We wanted to try their crispy pork, so we ordered it with spicy basil and Chinese broccoli. Their pork was crispy and juicy. It had nice flavor and good amount of heat with the basil. It had a great tasting Thai basil sauce. The crispy pork with the broccoli was also really good. It also had great flavor, veggies were slightly crunchy without being overdone. It's a very cute little mom and pop restaurant with room for a few chairs and tables in a tiny strip mall. It's walking distance from where we took our kids to swim, and very easy to get to. Staff was very friendly. Would come back and try more dishes.

I enjoyed the Thai food that I ordered here for takeout--got the pad kana moo krob and the pad see ew with beef. I will say that the meat in the pad see ew was pretty dry (could have used some velveting) but everything else was great!

Atmosphere - Clean, limited seating due to small dining room. Customer service - Friendly service. Dishes are made to order so there's a wait. Taste - Authentic. Ordered the garlic chicken wings which were seasoned well and crispy. Crispy pork with green beans were tasty though the pork was a little overcooked (it may have been refried?). Price - Average

Wow, best Thai food in the South Bay. I used to live a half a block from from this place, And stop going because food quality went down.Portion size went down.I must say under new ownership.This place is absolutely amazing. I would give it ten sperson but I can only give it five do to the rating scale. Give it a try I highly recommend.
