Kiin-Di, which means "eating good," truly lives up to its name! Originally a popular food truck in Austin, Kiin-Di now has its own standalone restaurant, and I'm so glad we decided to check it out. We got there right when they opened and the service was amazing. They started building our 15-person table immediately and service was fast. We tried the spring rolls, chicken wings, chicken curry, and fried rice. Everything was delicious, but the chicken wings and chicken curry were definite standouts! Absolutely packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I'll be coming back just for that curry! The atmosphere inside is a bit on the plain side, but the colorful glasses and fun plates add a nice touch and keep things lively. The food more than makes up for any lack of ambiance. I'll definitely be coming here again, and I'm already looking forward to ordering the chicken curry next time. Highly recommend for anyone craving great Thai food in Austin!

Easy parking, walked in around 8pm and got seated right away. Service was fast and the staff actually knows their menu -- appreciated that. Roti -- Flaky, buttery, and comes with a rich sauce that pairs perfectly. Solid starter. Khao Soi -- The star of the night. Chewy noodles in a tangy, layered broth with fresh radishes and crunchy fried shallots that add these great unexpected textures. Only note: we were sharing and it came with a whole chicken thigh -- would be so much easier to eat if it came pre-shredded. Hung Lay Pork -- The pork flavor is bold and a little gamey, not for everyone. But the curry itself is warm and tangy and really shines when you eat it with rice. The space is well designed and the vibe matches the food -- adventurous and authentic. You can tell every dish is made with care. Already planning my next visit to work through the rest of the menu.

BUSSINNNNN, as I said before, I am honored to have breathed the same air as the cow whose rib I ate. Great service, amazing curries, and really nice space. It was worth it, especially after taking a look at the La barbecue line, which we tried to hit up first. The segue was 100% worth it

I had such a great meal here! Each dish was so beautiful and so delicious- fresh and flavor in each bite. I lived the khao soi and the fried potatoes. The banana blossom was also amazing. Honestly everything we had was tasty. I would love to come back to try another curry dish.

Outside

I heard a lot about this place and decided to check 'em out! Walked in and got seated immediately for dinner. I like the ambiance. It's dark and bustling, reminds me of actual street food (but it's inside). The outside of the restaurant is actually uninviting though. It has darkened windows and you can't really tell if they are open or not. Never been to the food truck so I asked the server what their most popular dishes are. She recommended the creamy curry crab and Killer Noodles. The curry had a picture on the menu and looks really good but I was nervous to get the killer noodles because it had 3 chilies next to it indicating it's pretty spicy. But my husband can handle spice really well so I just decided to get it. We can always share! Food came out quickly and my husband LOVED the creamy curry crab. He kept raving about how good and creamy the curry was. There's also real crab and the value of the dish was quite worth it. Five out of five! However, he quickly finished all the rice and when asking for a refill, we learned extra rice is $3....we eat rice all the time and thought it should probably just be $1 more. Didn't get the refill but still cleaned up all the curry! It is not spicy. The killer noodles are spicy, but actually not that spicy and quite tolerable. However, I didn't realize it is literally ramen noodles. Like convenience store ramen noodles and I'm convinced they are the Indonesian Mi Goreng. They're good but not worth $17...it's also not a meal that fills me up. The pork belly on top is great! They leave everything in a box and put it on the plate-I thought that was interesting haha. I was disappointed with my meal and needed something else to digest the carbs and spice so we got the T.O.K., the only dessert on the menu. This was really good! I'm a huge fan of coconut ice cream so I was really excited to hear it comes with two scoops on top of the Thai-style Chinese deep-fried donuts. This helped me digest tremendously. I think I will come back but will definitely not order the killer noodles. Please don't popularize this dish-you can literally buy a pack from the Asian grocery store for less.

Khao soi
Veronica Y.

Absolutely delicious!!! The two standout stars of our meal were the pla scallop starter and the beef rib. The scallops super tender and sweet and the sauce it sat in was everything. Just crack addictive. I could eat 10 of these plates. Must get this. The beef rib was super tender and sat in these incredibly rich and umami curry that had a good balance of sweetness from the grilled pineapple. The other things we ordered were also wonderful tho ever so slightly overshadowed by those first two. The banana blossom salad was a delight of textures and great balance of sweet, sour, spicy. The hung Lay pork was so good, but I felt like i didn't need so much meat with already having the beef rib. The khao soi was super rich but perhaps even a little too rich..the soup wasn't soupy; it was like a thick curry sauce. All flavors were top notch though, so I'm really talking very small details. One of the most enjoyable meals I've had in the past year!

Update to my previous experience. Had the pad Thai again and it was less smokey, and tastier, this time. Khao soi was still perfect! Tried the fried rice which I thought was good and included a decent amount of veggies. It only took about 15 min to be ready even though it said it'd be a 30 min wait. Service was again super friendly and quick!

Pad Thai
Chae L.

Came to their recent opening of the brick and mortar location Service: lady was very friendly and attentive Food: I got the pad Thai which was a 4/5 (solid pad Thai but no unique twist, lost a point bc it did get salty as I continued eating it and ended up just taking the leftovers to go) and my husband got the hung lay which was 2/5 (way too salty without any acidic or other flavor break). We did get the scallop appetizer and that was probably the best flavorwise. Ambiance: is cozy and more upscale than regular Thai restaurants

Kua Curry Beef Ribs, Banana Blossom Salad, Khao Soi, Killer Noodles With Pork Belly
Angelica L.

Rating: 4.3/5 [dine in] We came for dinner on a Sunday night around 6 PM and were seated right away. It was great to see Kiin Di open such a beautiful restaurant. I loved their table seating and glassware, as well as the marbled bathroom. We were dining with a special guest, so we received great service. They really nailed the flavors on almost every dish, but some of the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. The food is also very heavy and spicy, and our stomachs were not happy later that night. Almost every dish we ordered had at least one chili symbol next to it. Thai Boxing Wings ($12 for 5 wings): We got the spicy tamarind sauce, wet style, which was great on the crispy fried chicken wings. Pla Scallop ($16): Raw scallop tossed in a spicy chili jam dressing. I absolutely loved the flavor profile, but something about the scallop texture did not make this a fully harmonious dish. Banana Blossom Salad ($16): This was the most mild dish out of everything we ordered. I did not like the fried shrimp in this one as much as the version in the Talay Prik Klua. I also prefer Vietnamese banana blossom salad more than this one. Goi Beef ($17): Northeastern Thai filet mignon tartare. It did not look or taste like what I was imagining. The beef looked similar to taco ground beef, if I am being honest, and it tasted cooked. The white rice crackers it came with, though, were delicious and crispy. Talay Prik Klua ($21): Thai style salt and pepper sauteed jumbo shrimp and squid in a spicy seafood sauce. There was no strong seafood taste or smell, which I loved. It had a nice crunchy texture and was even better when dipped in the spicy seafood sauce. Killer Noodles With Fried Pork Belly ($17): Served in the same style as when it was offered from the food truck, in a to go box with the noodles on the bottom and large fried pork belly strips on top. The fried egg was served on the plate and was cooked nicely, with a crispy rim and runny yolk. The killer noodle flavors were on point this time, but they were very spicy. The fried pork belly was a bit dry, so I would not order it again. Is it worth $17? I do not think so. Khao Soi ($18): Rice and creamy coconut curry soup with egg noodles and chicken thighs, topped with crispy fried noodles. This was a warm bowl of comfort and was delicious, especially the chicken thighs. The egg noodles beautifully coated the curry soup. Kua Curry Beef Rib ($48): Came with a huge rib drenched in curry, pineapple on the side, and a side of white rice. The rice was dry, but the pineapple slices were delicious. The beef was overcooked and dry in the areas not covered by curry. Not worth it to me. Master of the House: Red wine, passionfruit puree, pineapple juice, tajin. It tasted watered down and the flavors did not come through. Austin Sour: Sake, tamarind puree, simple syrup, tamarind chili bite, lime. Pretty good and well balanced. We both liked this cocktail more than the Master of the House.

Nam ngiao
Ellie N.

I'm happy they open a real location after having the food truck for a long time. The menu is very big now compared to the food truck limited menu. It's packed on a Friday over lunch. Both the nam ngiao noodle and hung lay were a tiny bit too salty for my taste, but I'll definitely be back for more dishes

B2. Old School Pad Thai
Wes Y.

The inside is way nicer than I expected, and each table has a small lamp in the middle which makes the whole place feel cozy and a little elevated. I got the killer noodles and the pad thai and both were very solid. The killer noodles were level 3 spice and it was definitely manageable. It had a great balance of flavor and heat without being overwhelming. The fried pork in the dish worked really well and added a lot of texture and richness. The pad thai was also solid and honestly one of the better ones I have had in Austin. They gave a lot of water at the table and refilled it quickly, which made the whole experience more comfortable, especially with spicy food.

Tiffany M.

The restaurant can get really busy so be prepared for a wait on the weekends. The food was really good and the drinks were so pretty. The coconut cocktail was really strong. The staff are really friendly, but because they're so busy the food can take a while. Definitely recommend.

B2. Old School Pad Thai - Chicken
Venice B.

So glad Kiin Di has opened a brick and mortar! Truly the best thai restaurant in austin. You can't go wrong with their chicken pad thai, the lost chicken recipe, or any of the curries. Khao Soi was a surprisingly really good. We are always so full and happy after eating at Kiin Di. Can't wait to come back and try the crab curry. Service is quick and friendly. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin.

Was hyped after hearing about this place but ordered pad Thai and the noodles were overcooked and soggy. It was such a miss.

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

Who says you cannot get authentic Jamaican food in Austin? Not me! I was craving some Jerk…read morechicken (been in a BBQ food coma) and decided to try Tony's Caribbean food truck...yes, another food truck. I am the most adventurous diner in our household. From speaking with Tony Jr. today, they also have a restaurant in Pflugerville. I ordered jerk chicken, which fell off the bones and came with cabbage, rice and peas and plantain. I have traveled to Jamaica a couple of times, this Jamaican food was the real deal. The jerk chicken was a bit spicey but not set your tongue on fire spicey. The rice and peas along with the cabbage was perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the sweet plantain, spoken like a plantain connoisseur. The plantain was sweet on the inside and slightly charred on the outside...perfect combination. The only improvement would have been for me to get a side of plantain. My food was delivered fast and hot. Tony Jr. was super personable and friendly. There is seating in the center of the food truck park. You hear tunes being played in the background. The food truck park is at the core of East Austin in a semi-residential area. Street parking is available for diners. I look forward to trying curry goat and oxtails and more.
