KIIN EXTRAORDINARY THAI — Restaurant in San Diego

I’ve been eating here every so often ever since Skydeck opened and they’ve been delicious and consistent every time. My family’s go to for special occasions. I usually order delivery or take out, but you gotta eat here in person at least once. The presentation of the dishes and drinks is gorgeous, and the ambience and service in their cozy little area are wonderful. I’ve always had a great experience with taking out as well and the staff are kind and accommodating, and the food never takes long. When I order delivery the food is always warm and securely packaged. They make excellent thai iced tea and give a very generous amount for the price. Definitely some of the best I’ve ever had, perfect balance of sweet, creamy and smoky. skip Happylemon and grab a milk tea here if you’re in the mood for a quick drink!!

Dishes I’ve had: (all of which I liked)

-Braised beef noodle soup: This stuff is heaven in a bowl (or container which is how I’ve always gotten it since I’ve never ordered it for dine in lol). I’m not sure if it’s served the same way in house but it comes as a pretty large container of beef in broth with a LOT of noodles and vegetables to add in. It’s easily big enough for 2 or 3 to share (again, can only confirm this for delivery) The broth is so flavorful and it’s just an absolutely amazing soup.

-Pad see ew: A delicious savory noodle dish. The noodles are thick and tender, flavorful, and practically absorb the sauce. Probably my favorite dish here.

-Braised Beef Panang Curry: This dish is a work of art. The beef is melt in your mouth tender and very flavorful. Even though I got it mild it was still very flavorful and amazing. This is a very heavy dish though so might be a good idea to share.

-Pad Thai: They do pad thai really, really well. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and savory. The tamarind sauce they use is amazing.

-House fried rice: Also really good especially if you like simple dishes. I find their noodle dishes more interesting though.

-Fresh spring rolls: Flavorful and refreshing, and come with a great sweet sauce.

-Thai Crispy rolls (vegetable): Crispy, warm and very well seasoned, really like the sauce too!

-Caramel Cream Cheese egg roll: The only dessert I’ve had here but I’m sure the others are great too. These are AMAZING though- It’s like a warm, heavenly banana cheesecake in a crispy crepe shell.

I’m not a fan of spicy food and what I hate about some restaurants is that if you request no spice it’s literally flavorless, but here without spice no flavor is sacrificed, it’s still beautifully seasoned and flavorful, and the savory flavors of every dish really shine through which I love. I’m sure getting their dishes spicy would still be excellent though if...

The food is great but the service is another story. I ordered from the sky deck which includes delivery to the sky deck. Shortly after I placed my order I received confirmation that they had received my order and that they would bring it up to me when it was ready. All of my friends whom had ordered from other restaurants received their orders after 15 minutes and I was left waiting for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes had gone by and without receiving any updates from the restaurant I decided to call the restaurant to which they told me that they couldn’t bring it up to me because they were busy. All of the restaurants were just as busy as they were and still delivered their orders. I went down to grab my order and by the time I was able to sit with my friends again they had already finished their food.

Don’t get me wrong, the upsetting part is not that I had to walk down a flight of stairs but it’s the principle. If you agree to provide a service, you provide it and if you can’t you should at least let the customer know, it’s kind of basic. I hope that this doesn’t happen to future customers as it could negatively affect...

Me and family ate here alot of times, but the last two times we went here the service has been awful. Don’t get me wrong, the food and ambiance is great but our male server has always been rude. He is not pleasant, I personally asked his name (Nu/New), I am not sure how to spell it but the last two times that we went here and he was our server, we felt like we were being rushed to get out of the restaurant and he was always rude the way he ask for our orders and give our food. The last time, me and my mom was still talking enjoying our drinks and he came up to us and asked us if we were ready to check out because he said there were people apparently waiting to be sat down, and I was so frustrated because we were still enjoying our drinks and was supposedly planning to order dessert then I also notice that the table next to us was done and was there first before us but he did not ask them to leave. The second time, he was just rude and felt like he was rushing us to take orders and checkout as well. The manner he gave our food was also disappointing. We love the food here, but customer service should...
