Kindee Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Vancouver

So this is the new tradition. Go to yard sales in the morning and when you can't look at one more box of Depends or one more rack of generic glassware, I cut the treasure route and look for good food. Seriously though, I find great stuff at Yard sales and don't want to insult the Yard Sale Gods... Seriously.

There is no better way to end a day of treasure hunting than finding culinary gold, preferably broth. Kindee Thai has that homey welcoming look that so many places lack. nice colors, nice decor, plants. I don't understand why more Asian places don't do this. sometimes it seems like a choice to be as bland and unremarkable as possible. Kindee makes me want to come in, it makes me predisposed to like the meal, although I have been tricked in the past.

Today I choose the Kao Soi, I love a good light curry and I love noodles like a madman loves the moon. First, the crispy noodles seem to come rioting up out of the bowl like tangle of wisteria vines. They guide the eye down into the brothy depths. The next impression is the bowl is too big, the broth looks a little lost in the great bath of a bowl. It's an illusion, there is plenty, but they should put it in a smaller bowl so it doesn't look so lonely.

That being said, it's a great bowl of curry broth. The noodles deep down in the murky depths are nicely mixed and have good lift. Long slightly tangled chewy noodles that simply cry out for a good slurp. The curry broth is spot on. Perfect depth and richness, savory and slightly sweet. I can eat here again. They ask if I would like a touch more heat and bring me a nice little selection of hot condiments. That earns them points in my book. I prefer a red chili oil and often, if a place has hot sauce, it's just one kind.

Yes my nose runs like a dog escaping the animal control truck, Like an old tent in a rainy wood. But not so hot I can't taste the curry, the crunch of red onion, the fresh lime. Jeez, I'm making. myself hungry again just thinking about it.

Right down to the last ever-loving drop. It reminds me of my adventuring youth when I kicked around Asia on a hope and a dream. For so many years after those carefree days, you could not find good Thai, or Vietnamese anywhere this side of the globe... The same can be said for tea. In those days if you wanted a good cup of tea you had to leave the country.

Thank you Kindee for a...

This place is our second time eating here, this time my lady had the BBQ Chicken and it was delicious, even though some of the chicken was on the fatty side unfortunately. I had their basil fried rice and it was delicious as well. In my opinion the portions are on the small side for the price. But their flavor keeps me coming back anyway! I’m a little picky what things I like eating and I wish their menu had more choices to choose from since a lot of the items offered have ingredients in it that I don’t care for! So the items on their menu I ‘d eat are very limited! But with that being said, I know of a few other restaurants that also only have one or two items on their menu that I care to eat! Service not the best unfortunately, our waiter did come back to our table just as we were almost finished eating and asked if we needed anything else? My water glass had been close to empty for quite a while and wish the waiter had came back sooner and filled my water glass. That’s a pet peeve of mine being I do drink a lot of water when I eat and I hate having a empty water glass! It’s also how I determine how much I tip too! Other then that the waiter was professional enough and polite. I have a few Restaurants I’ve been going to for decades and know me very well! So we’ve developed a close relationship with waiters and waitresses and we have friendly conversations while we’re eating fairly often. Going to a new restaurant and not having that outgoing waiter or waitress to make you sort of feel at home is missed! Hopefully if we keep going here to eat we’ll build a better relationship in the future with the waiter...

My hubby and I went here on a whim. I had been here once in the past. He's not a fan of Thai food but takes me to ensure I get my craving in. When we arrived the guy working was very kind and attentive. We each got little 'soup' bowls before ordering, I hadn't remembered this from last time. I have no clue what it was exactly but I really enjoyed it. We ordered our food, the portions were pretty big, only $8 each (during lunch hours). I got a curry I believe it was called Panang? with tofu. It was amazing! Possibly my new favorite curry. It had green beans in it cooked to perfection (I like them crispy). It comes as a medium which I thought would be fine, most places I order a 3 star. It was a tad bit spicy compared to what I'm used to but I still loved every bite. My hubby got the thai fried rice with chicken (the most "normal" thing he could find on the menu). He actually really liked it! Most the time when we go out to "weird" places I like he's never satisfied with his meal but he really enjoyed it. Overall I loved everything. The guy was super nice, very attentive, always making sure our glasses were full and our dishes were clear. The food was amazing and the price was great as well! The restaurant itself is very clean, modern, a great...
