Kin Saep — Restaurant in San Diego

This place was formerly So Saep and now under new name and ownership. Max occupancy for this place is 18.

It was the Lao Pho that caught our eye since the other known place that we know serve this dish is in OC.

We got Lao pho, Crab fried rice, Fried chicken wing, Chicken satay and Panang curry.

For drinks we got Thai tea which was sweeter than my liking. The cococane was refreshing and naturally sweet. Fresh sugar cane with real slices of coconut.

We came during lunch and the service was super quick and everything tasted delicious. In and out within one hour.

The chicken satay is on the dry side but dipping in the peanut sauce made it better. The curry was a level 6 spice but it was not spicy and my tolerance is low. My new favorite place for crab friend rice. Lao pho tasted like viet pho and even better than some viet pho places.

Overall, we will for sure come back for the...

After my first bite of the Pad Thai, I knew immediately. Somebody’s mother was back there cooking up this masterpiece. I can’t stress this enough, come eat here. I asked to speak to mama Air and she is the sweetest woman with a true gift for cooking love into each dish!

We love you Kin Saep! See you soon! I’m adding a picture of an empty plate because I was enthralled with the dish that I forgot to take a...

My lady and I had an amazing experience here. We drove from Palm Springs and needed out Lao food fix. Exceeded beyond our expectations. Everything we ordered was amazing. We got the supreme papaya salad, shrimp spring roll, pork neck, crying tiger, and few other things. Very rare you go to a restaurant and literally everything is at minimum a 9/10. Only thing is wished our papaya salad had the whole crabs in it rather than mixed in. The owner was an extremely friendly and gave great recommendations and was cool guy to talk to. Next time we are in the area it’s mandatory for us to come back and support and try some new stuff. 10/10 food quality and...
