Kin-D Thai Restaurant @Brunswick — Restaurant in Melbourne

HIGHLY recommend this establishment - I cannot praise it enough! I’ve been eating here for years and have neglected to write a review, and despite telling myself I’d take lots of photos of the dishes we were too excited to eat that I can’t show how beautifully they are plated up.

They have a very clear and easy to navigate menu, and almost all the mains can be made vegan and gluten free. The satay tofu and Cashew stir fry are two of my girlfriend and my favourites, as well as the coconut rice and Thai milk tea.

Service is excellent, the waitresses are always prompt, attentive, friendly and warm. They give you a button to call them and alternatively you can order through QR code. Prices are incredibly reasonable - it was $50 for a starter, two curries and a large rice. They offer a 5% discount if you pay in cash, as well.

Ambiance leaves something to be desired but it is a lovely spot - warm, comfortable and homely. I appreciate that they play their music low so conversation is easy, even when they are busy, and the lights aren’t overly bright.

The food is definitely worth it, and there is rarely...

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Brunswick from now on! 🤩

I started off with entrées, Prawn Spring Rolls and Chive Dumplings. The sauce that came with the Chive Dumplings was absolutely amazing, a must-try for everyone!

For mains, I had Tom Kha Chicken. I requested it without vegetables, and the staff were kind enough to make it that way for me. The soup was so smooth and beautifully rich with coconut flavor. I also tried the Barramundi with Thai herb salad, which I saw was a new dish on their menu. I ordered it mild and it turned out just perfect. Definitely a must for fish lovers. And I had Thai Milk Tea on the side, which paired so well with everything.

The portions were generous, and I was already full… but I just couldn’t resist ending with my go-to snack, the Crispy Chicken 😋

Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re around...

I gave this place so many chances because it’s local. It’s such a hit and miss experience. Sometimes I received quite delicious stir fried, sometimes I received not so yummy fried rice and soup, etc. today I ordered pad thai chicken and received a box full of noodles with a few pieces of chicken. No bean sprouts, no crunched peanut, no spring onions, no vegetable AT ALL!! Won’t order from them again.

Edit after the response: If there is no bean sprouts why there is nothing in the picture? Maybe you should own your mistake and improve rather than deny and find excuses for every point I made. Clearly you’re confident you’re doing great so whatever. I’ll just avoid eating here from...
