Kin-D Lao & Thai Food - Plano — Restaurant in Plano

They asked for reviews on the table and Well…. I wanted to like it. Pros first: I ordered Penang Curry spice level 2 of 4. Flavor was good a little watery but good. Cashier was friendly and provided great service. Cons: 1. Spice level was way too hot. It was the hottest thing I have ever ate, I literally was sweating the entire meal trying to get it down. 2. Very unclean atmosphere, we were the only people in the place and tables weren’t wiped down. The restroom was absolutely disgusting my feet stuck to the floor while walking inside see picture 3. I’m not sure if they had a sewage leak or what but it smelled like crap inside the restaurant to the point we almost had to leave. 4. Huge pot of curry and itty bitty amount of rice. Rice is like 10 cents a pound don’t go cheap on the rice.

I did want to like it but we won’t be back and unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend it based on our experience.

RESPONSE TO MANAGEMENT: The spice was not subjective. A 2 out of 4 should not cause someone to sweat the entire meal and I should NOT have to go back up and beg someone to make what I ordered the first time. AND if you know your restaurant smells like crap light some candles spray something, or shut the place down or give a discount have some common decency. Keep your fake apologies no...

Finally got to try Kin-D during their soft opening week and was super excited to know that a Lao restaurant was opening closed by.

My husband and I ordered Lao papaya salad, pork red curry and chicken pad thai, all medium spice level. Food took about 10-15mins to come out. The papaya salad was more on the sour and sweet side but it needed more padek sauce (IYKYK, the darker the better) and we should of ordered it spicy! Pork red curry was delicious and I liked how thick the curry was, but my only complaint is the rice it was served with. I don't know what kind of white Jasmine rice the restaurant uses but it didn't have that authentic Thai Jasmine fragrance and taste, it was eerie similar to an Uncle Ben's microwavable rice. Chicken pad thai was also good, but a bit more on the sweeter side too but glad there was chili oil and sriracha packets by the counter to spice it up!😋

Overall, the service was excellent & fast👍, restaurant was super clean👍👍, and food was good with...

We got the following items: Tom kha with beef, Pad see ew with chicken and a Pineapple fried rice with pork.

The Tom kha with beef - rich and creamy with tons of coconut flavor. Came with lots of mushrooms and beef. Easily my favorite item I ordered today.

Pineapple fried rice - seems like canned pineapple but even then the fried rice was very flavorful and delicious. Pineapple flavor infused into the rice. Comes with peanuts in the rice.

Pad see ew - tastes great with the sweet soy sauce. Not too sweet, not too salty. Just perfect. Comes with a lot of vegetables.

Food comes in to-go container even if you choose to dine in. Taking home leftovers couldn’t be any easier. All you have to do is ask them for a bag.

I enjoyed the food and will...
