    We absolutely loved this restaurant. We were craving Thai food and the reviews were great so we tried it. The staff was super accommodating since we needed a space to have a zoom meeting. They gave us a table outside and placed 2 heaters to keep us warm. The food was amazing and so fresh. Loved it!

    Kin Dee Thai CuisineResponded 1 day agoHI SDenis, So good to hear from you, we appreciate you choosing Kin Dee for your Thai cravings. The Tom Yum Soup you ordered will surely do the trick for cold weather and comfort food. It's one of my favorite dish! See you back next time. Best, Susan L. GM

    Some of the finest dining in the city in terms of taste and quality of food. It’s under the radar in terms the food being on par with any true fine dining establishment in the city although the ambience and service is upscale casual.

    I must say food was amazing. Some of the best Thai food in Houston. My concern was inconsistency. We ordered drunken noodles with shrimp along with 5 other dishes. The drunken noodles came with 6-7 shrimp. We loved it so we even ordered it to go. The to go order had 4 shrimp - PROBLEM! If I’m going to spend $150 on dinner + to go afterwards, I expect consistency. I expect Kin Dee to make it up to me the next time I come there. I will go back because the food is spectacular and everyone is entitled to one mistake.

    Kin Dee Thai CuisineResponded on February 21, 2023Thank you so much Michael, for take the time to leave us your feedback. It is very important for us to know about your experience and we are glad that you enjoyed your time in our establishment. Please, ask for me the next time you make a reservation or visit us. Warmed greetings, MJ Manager.

    Waited an hour and 30 minutes for our food to arrive. When I approached the manager, who never approached us… I was told there was a glitch with the online ordering that backed up the kitchen. We were not offered any accommodations. This was our second time there And I’m not inclined to return

    Friday! Daughter with test anxiety aced her math exam-B+! Let’s go out to celebrate a long week and she chose Kin Dee. First—the server was FANTASTIC! She was friendly and knowledgeable. Second—the food was very good—fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the hostess was terse and snotty. I’ve had surgery, so I made the reservation for an inside table. When we arrived, with a reservation, there were plenty of tables and she “pointed” us to a bar table. I couldn’t access due to my injury/surgery and I walked back to the hostess stand to ask to be seated at a regular table. She sneered at me and chuffed. WOW! I have been to Kin Dee many times and EVERY employee has been more than friendly, so I was surprised. She finally “pointed “ my daughter and I to a regular table between two seated parties. Did she walk us to the table? NO! Did she make sure we were comfortable as the restaurant was half empty at that hour? NO! Fortunately, the wait staff and the food overcame the initial rudeness. However, some people would not be so appeased. The hostess needs some additional training in customer service. We will dine again, however, I won’t be back if that level of rudeness occurs again. We want to support woman-owned businesses and women chefs, so we hope this issue is resolved.

    Amazing food and service. However, very limited menu. You get the typical Thai food and definitely worth going for because it does taste amazing. Just don't expect extensive menu. FYI, they don't have a separate brunch menu. A group next to us was under the impression there's a different menu for brunch.
