Kin long beach kitchen

I stopped by Kin Restaurant in Long Beach for some Thai food. I hadn’t been here in a long time, so I decided to give it another visit. The restaurant is clean, has nice decor, and offers an amazing atmosphere. We were seated fairly quickly, but unfortunately, after being seated it took almost 10 minutes for our server to come back to offer drinks or check if we were ready to order. What made it more frustrating was that about five minutes after we were seated, the table across from us was seated and had their order taken almost immediately. Once we were finally helped, we ordered: Pad Woon Sen (glass noodles with chicken, bok choy, carrot, white onion, green onion, mushroom, and egg — I added shrimp) Nutty Chicken (crispy chicken with cashew nuts, bell peppers, onions, and dried chili in a roasted chili sauce) Avocado Roll (avocado, spring mix, basil leaves, and cucumber wrapped in rice paper; vegetarian and gluten-free) The Pad Woon Sen was good overall, but it would have been better if the shrimp and chicken were seasoned the same way as the rest of the dish. The Nutty Chicken was very good — well seasoned and full of flavor. My favorite item of the meal was the Avocado Rolls. Simple, fresh, and full of flavor — absolutely delicious. Despite the slow start with service, the food itself was solid, and I’d still consider coming back, especially for the Avocado Rolls.

Hubby and I drove from Riverside to have dinner for Valentine's Day. Traffic caused us to get there later than expected but the owner sat us and made sure we were great. Food excellent. Calamari with that sauce. Chefs kiss. Colossal crab fried rice. Yellow curry! Thai tea amazing. The popsicle!!! Vibe vintage. Service awesome. We will return. There's other things to try.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a great experience overall. I ordered the Tom Yum soup, which was absolutely delicious - flavorful, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. I also tried the Thai tea, which was just okay, a bit more on the average side. For the main dish, I had the spicy Pad Thai. It was a little rich for my taste, but still tasty and satisfying. What really stood out to me, beyond the food, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, which made the meal feel even more enjoyable. The interior of the restaurant is also worth mentioning - it’s playfully and thoughtfully decorated, creating a friendly and welcoming vibe. Overall, I’d recommend it for the food and especially for the atmosphere and service.

Review for Celiacs / Gluten free: GREAT food and very gluten free friendly. The menu clearly labels which items are gluten free. Certain dishes not labeled GF can be modified upon request. The waiter was knowledgeable about celiacs and confirmed the kitchen can take steps to avoid contamination (gloves/tool swap). Fryer is not dedicated GF. And the food was delicious! I had the Tom Yum (extra spicy) and the colossal crab meat Pad Thai. The crab meat was succulently sweet and big chunks of meat. The Tom Yum had so much seafood in it. Big scallops and big muscles. The spice level was perfect. Very hot and not excruciating. My sister ordered the Papaya Salad (delicious) and the spicy pad Thai (also delicious). I am very sensitive celiac and I felt fine afterward. The Thai iced tea also comes with a frozen Thai Tea popsicle sticking out of it.

I was in town visiting and my friend suggested this restaurant. It’s top notch. I was really impressive with the customer service and the food. The food is made to order. Fresh and not over cooked. I had the fried rice and the coconut soup and they both were amazing. Probably one of the best I’ve had among Thai restaurants. The wait staff constantly checked on us and the vibe in the restaurant was very welcoming. The prices were great. I felt good after my visit. Definitely stop by here

We were very happy to come across this place and try new food in long Beach. They have a great lunch special so we decided to have a bit of everything that sounded good, good thing for me they had pictures to help in deciding what to pick. Everything came out hot and smelling delicious. We will be back and try other items on the menu. I did recommend trying the ice tea special, its fun to try once. Left very satisfied and happy. They have their own parking lot, but I'm sure it get crowded during dinner hours. Make sure you come hungry , because you're going to want to try everything on the menu. The work staff was on point and to help with any requests we had and to explain what some of the items we order were like. This is a little gem that should be shared with friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful lunch !

This is one of those rare spots that completely lives up to the hype. The crab fried rice is easily the best I’ve had anywhere in LA/OC. They aren't stingy with the crab, it's perfectly seasoned, and not greasy. Their pad Thai is just as good/it’s the closest I’ve come to the flavors I remember from my trips to Thailand. Prices are more than reasonable given the quality, which probably explains why it’s always busy. The only downside is the outdoor seating...it can get hot and humid, so if you have the option, definitely choose an inside table. Overall, Kin is absolutely worth the the wait, and it’s become my go-to for authentic Thai in this area.
