Great food and drinks in a lovely atmosphere.Parking: Busy street in Northpark so parking can be a hassle, had to park in a neighborhood several blocks away and walk there, that's just how it is in Northpark is however.

Really good take on Basil dish with the sticky, crispy pork. It's different from how Thai restaurants usually serve that. And it was delicious. Can't wait to come back for that.

I’ve been wanting to stop here for a while. The shrimp wonton soup is delicious! You can add egg noodles for a little extra. I also enjoyed the nigori sake. The service was very attentive.

Kin Len has one of the best curb appeal restaurants in the area. It gets even better when you walk into the beautiful restaurant. The food and drink selections were both creative and delicious!

There is a Thai market ambiance. We got a couple of the starters, which were fine. The side of curry is humongous and could make a decent meal with some rice. The Khao Soy was also fairly good. Many of the portions were decently small.

- Papaya salad was on point. I ended up drinking the remaining sauce.- Tom yum wings were dry rub style. I thought it was one of the better wings I’ve had in a long time. Big, juicy, and great crisp. Dry rub felt like it was msg without feeling negative.- Fried enoki was like the good part of potato fries without the potato. Oil they used was maybe peanut, very flavorful and all crisp. I didn’t really feel the enoki except for the crisp of its surface area. It came with sweet liquid for sauce.- Basil crispy pork was the favorite. Would do it again.

Parking can be a challenge-limited street parking. If you live closeby, walk. Restaurant is cute -reminds me of small eateries in Thailand. My usual is Tom yum wings, crab fried rice, papaya salad Esan style, pad Thai, mama noodles. It's a bit pricey. The only thing that I did not like was beef stick --possibly boiled then braised lack in flavor. I hope they can improve the flavor. FYI this Thai restaurant only has yellow curry which is u usual as red and green curry is staple to most Thai cuisines. I'm Thai and was raised on red and green curry so I am hoping they will offer it some day!

This is a gem I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SHRIMP PAD THAI (it’s gluten free)✨ it was amazing, the shrimps were big and well seasoned and cooked, we also got the basil beef, it was a 8/10 a little smaller than the pad Thai but also yummy.The athmosphere makes you feel like in another country ? good for a nice late lunch with friends.Also the appetiser “Son in law wings” was fantastic, the sauce was 10/10 I kept a little for the plate.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options

My honest first thought: pure joy over chairs with wide seats. Second thought: this chicken satay is ?. Prices were very reasonable too. Can’t wait to go back and try the Tom yum soup, I heard it’s great. Came here on new years and service was great too.

This place was good. The food tasted different than normal Thai food in my opinion. I'm usually used to a lot of spice. The service was good. Thank you very much for taking care of me.

Date night at this spot transported me straight to Thai town in LA; as a Thai person, it felt like a home away from home. The ambiance was on point! Now, onto the food adventure - the thom yum egg noodle was flavorful, but the soup played it cool, more like a lukewarm acquaintance than a hot date. The Khao manh gai played hard to get with flavor; a bit too bland for our taste. And that lone chicken thigh? It pulled a disappearing act! I expected a poultry party, but it was more of a solo performance. Service was the real MVP, but overall, it's a solid 3-star rendezvous.
