I'm happy to find more Thai options in Bellevue! I've been wanting to check them out, but the locations weren't close enough to me. While perusing the menu I noted that they had on choy (aka swamp grass, water morning glory, kangkong) - one of my favorite vegetables! So we ordered that, along with Sua Rong Hai (aka crying tiger), Pad See Ew with Tofu, and Ginger Garlic Rice. All dishes were a hit with us! We had so much food we ended up taking them home. We definitely wanted to try more dishes, that'll be for our next go around. Service was great! We will be back!!!

Ooooh WOW! Like JUST WOW!! One of the best Thai restaurants I have ever been!!!!!! I shared spring rolls with my friend, it's super crispy and also really hot sooo be careful!! My friend is vegetarian and when she mentioned it the staff was very mindful and he even mentioned the tofu was fried in the same oil with meat: my friend was okay with it. I really like that he would give my friend a heads up and making sure she's okay with it! My noodle soup was like top tier, perfect amount of sour and spicy!! I love it with thick noodles that soak up the broth and all the shrimp balls or fish balls makes it taste extra better! Also love the hint of the fish sauce on it!! The whole place is gorgeous and clean!! I will definitely go back whatever I have a chance to

This place is throwing 101 on the black. Straight gas heaters. I ordered to go to take to work but the inside looked great. Definitely will be eating in next time I go. Ordering on their website was super easy too. I went with an order of Ba Mee Moo Daeng and Kao Pad. Both were ridiculously good. The pork on the moo daeng was out of this world and the special sauce in the noodles was great. The kao pad I got with beef which was excellent. The entire dish was bursting with flavor. Parking is super easy, when I went the entire center was open. I'm definitely going back to try more of their menu.

We went to Kin Dee for lunch with about 6 people and they accommodated us pretty quickly. There was a good amount of people inside and nice Thai decor and ambience. We got spring rolls for the table and I ordered the Kao Kanah Moo Grob which is stir fried crispy pork belly and kanah/chinese broccoli (as I know it) in a savory sauce. I also got Thai tea which was sweet, creamy, and robust. The spring rolls were crispy and went well with the sauce - pretty standard appetizer. Our waitress advised me to go with the pork belly over the boat noodles since they are known for their pork belly, and I'm so glad I ordered it! The pork belly has that satisfying crunch from the bubbled skin and the meat was still juicy. I love kanah in all dishes and the sauce pulled everything together. Sweet, salty, savory, garlicky- so good and the whole dish is really drenched in it! I got mine with brown rice instead of white rice. I will say it's definitely a heavier meal and I was in a slight food coma after this. Delicious, authentic food and friendly, fast service. Don't be intimidated by the menu items and be ready for some great meals!

Bellevue is becoming an increasingly saturated market for a broad variety of Asian food, and Kin Dee is one of the latest newcomers to the scene. It presents itself with a modern, understated exterior tucked into a Redmond strip mall; inside, the space feels contemporary yet warm, with minimalist décor, soft lighting, and lots of wood accents that strike a balance between casual comfort and refined dinner vibes. At 6:30pm on a Friday night, the restaurant was mostly full, but they had room for my party of two to be immediately seated. There's an energetic hum at dinner service, but it never felt too loud or chaotic. The menu is quite comprehensive, with more Americanized pan-Asian options like fried spring rolls and Pad Thai, as well as more adventurous, street-food inspired items like their "Mama Mor Fire" and Hoi Jor (fried bean curd rolls with crab, shrimp, and pork). There's many options for different dietary needs, with many of the entrees having customizable proteins, and restrictions like Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian are clearly delineated on the menu. My brother began with their Thai Ice Tea ($5.50), which was beautifully presented with an ombre of creamy half-and-half and amber tea; it wasn't too sweet, and the flavor of the tea stood out, but he did acknowledge that it wasn't a great value, as more than half of the glass was ice. He also ordered their Spring Rolls ($9.95), which is six pieces of expertly-fried, crispy rolls filled with flavorful vegetables and chewy bean thread noodles, and fresh cucumber, lettuce, and carrots with a housemade sweet chili sauce on the side. It's not the most traditional dish, but it's a great crowd-pleaser done quite well. For entrees, my brother opted for their Kao Moo Daeng Moo Grob ($19.95), which is one of their signature dishes: it's a combination dish of their housemade barbeque pork (very similar to Chinese char siu), crispy pork belly, Chinese sausage, and boiled egg, cucumber, green onion, pickled ginger, jasmine rice, and a drizzle of a savory-sweet, gravy-like sauce. It's also served with a spicy black soy sauce on the side to add a kick. This was a delectable mix of tastes (rich pork, savory sausage, acidic onions and ginger, and sweet sauce) and textures (crunch, softness, chewiness, and more), with a generous portion of meats, although we did note that the dish came out lukewarm, not hot. I chose their Kao Soi Nua ($22.95), which was truly the standout dish of the night; banana beef shank simmered to a pull-apart texture sits atop a creamy, perfectly spicy-sweet coconut-milk-based stew with toothsome egg noodles. The dish is garnished with a nest of crispy egg noodles, red onions, lime, and pickled mustard greens, which cut through the decadence of the rest of the components. This was a huge portion of soup, and I left feeling full, yet not greasy or sick, despite the richness of the dish. In terms of price point, it's noticeably pricier than the average Thai takeout spot, but I feel as though the upscale atmosphere, unique dishes, and large portions justify the price. While my favorite Thai restaurant in the area remains Kin Len Night Bites, this is certainly one of the best options on the Eastside!

Kin Dee is one of the newest Thai restaurants in Bellevue. Their original location is in Seattle, but they also have another location in Bothell. My friends and I came here to celebrate a belated birthday last month. We arrived at 5:30pm on a weekday and had the entire restaurant to ourselves. We ordered family-style for six of us and had the... - SPRING ROLLS ($9.95) - these are actually egg rolls as they are deep fried and not your rice paper rice rolls. They come with bean thread noodle, carrots, and cabbage and are served with a sweet chili sauce and fresh veggies on the side. They were super hot and crunchy - just be careful biting into them as I definitely burned my mouth trying to eat one! - KAO SOI NUA ($22.95) - Simmered banana beef shank in a creamy, spicy-sweet coconut milk-based stew. Served over egg noodles and garnished with crunchy fried egg noodles, red onions, lime and pickled mustard greens. This kao soi had a red curry base which was unusual as all kao sois I have had before have a yellow curry base. Although the description says "hot" and "spicy", I thought it was on the mild side, perhaps because the coconut milk cuts a lot of the heat. The dish was nice and creamy and I enjoyed the slightly sweet and sour mustard greens on top to complement the sweet and savory curry. This dish was hard to share though as the noodles all stuck together and curry splashed everywhere as we tried to serve it. Oh well - it was still very yummy! - KAO NA PED ($22.95) - delicious roasted duck and jasmine rice with a unique gravy sauce. Served with streamed Yu Choy, cucumber, green onion, pickled ginger and spicy black soy sauce. I really enjoyed this dish even though it was on the sweeter side. The duck was very well marinated and had nice gamey flavor. I would order the duck again. - KAO MOO KRA THIAM KAI DAO ($17.95) - this was a dish I've never had before, but was the table's FAVORITE DISH. Dried version. It consists of stir-fried sliced pork with house made garlic sauce served with jasmine rice and fried egg, and topped with crispy fried garlic. The pork was sweet, savory, and crunchy with lots of fried garlic. It was unique as the breading almost reminded me of Korean fried chicken nuggets. If you are looking for a crowd pleaser, this is the dish! - PAD SEE EW (with chicken, $17.95) - we ordered this dish with chicken and 3 stars, which tasted more like a 4 star at other Thai restaurants and so they definitely don't go light on the heat here! The wide noodles were fresh and came with some protein and some choy. I wish it came with carrots and broccoli for some textural contrast, but it was still decent. Just nothing mind-blowing. The interior is clean and modern. They have maybe 10-12 tables or so and so it's not a large restaurant, but it was definitely not cramp or tight. Service was good and we got our food promptly after ordering. Portions were decently sized and 4 entrees plus an appetizer were more than enough for our group of six people. They have a sign that says no outside food or drink, but they were okay about bringing in a birthday cake. Overall, 5/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere

I got the Guay Tiew Tom Yum Boran in the soup style with vermicelli noodles. It was pretty good but I found it a little too sweet. My boyfriend had a combo dish (not sure what the name was) and he enjoyed that. Not sure if I just ordered the wrong thing but I would be willing to try different items on the menu next time. Service was good and the space had a nice atmosphere.

I have frequented Kin Dee in Bellevue, many many many times. Overall all, a very strong pleasant experience. There has been a few times where our main dishes that we always order would come out not consistent as our previous visit. Since it has happened more than once, I fear that the inconsistency is a wild card. There are some great street food options, like their boat noodles which I love. And their fried prawn is delicious. So perfectly battered and deep fried to perfection. Their appetizers were lacking in depth of flavors and never did it for me. I always skip the appetizers now, but always always always.. get their Thai ice coffee. It's pretty amazing! Service is always friendly, and I have never had to fight for parking. Definitely recommend you to try it out for yourselves. They also have fish cake. Which is amazing and an extra touch of authenticity for Thai food!

Second time being here now and it's pretty solid. We came around noon this time and it was pretty busy. There was only one waitress working but she was pretty good at handling everything. She was also very a knowledgeable. It feels a little hectic because of how busy it was but it doesn't seem too bad. I was craving soup and so we got one of their noodle soup, guys teau Reah moo. The flavor was interesting in a good way and I love the sauce that came with it. On its own, the sauce is pretty strong in tart and spice, but once you add the sauce to the soup, it totally elevated the soup. I also got the hoi jor appetizer, which was suggested by the waitress and it was pretty good as well. Overall, definitely a go to place for me for thai food in the area.

When we saw that there's a new Thai restaurant in town, we had to check it out! The inside was very nicely decorated, the vibe was great. It was not too loud, perfect for catching up with friends. The restaurant's location is convenient and there are lots of parking. We had high hopes for the food, but overall the portion size was small for the price, and the flavor didn't stand out to us. Food: Som Tum: the papaya salad was a nice starter, not too memorable. Pla Tod Kra Thiem: the deep fried fish was super crispy. It comes with a super delicious seafood sauce and was our most favorite thing of the meal! However, the portion size is pretty small. Hot Basil with Crispy Pork Belly: it was quite good and comforting, you can't go wrong with crispy pork belly. Pad Kee Mao: very yummy and well-seasoned, our second most favorite items of the meal. Our server was nice, and the food came fairly fast.

I came here on a Friday evening around 6pm to have some dinner with a friend. It doesn't look like it from the outside, but the inside is brightly lit and feels borderline to a fine-dining restaurant. There's a nice mural on the wall just to the right of the entrance, and there seems to be bar seating deeper inside as well. I'd get here early since seating did fill up fast and it became a full house even before my friend and I got our food. We each got their Kao Moo Daeng Moo Grob, which is a classic Thai street food dish. There was a ton of things inside the dish like BBQ pork, Chinese sausage and crispy pork belly slices. All the meat was really juicy and tender, and you could hear a nice crunch coming from the pork belly when you bite into it. The sweet sauce was a little overpowering when mixed with the sweeter meats like the Chinese sausage but overall didn't interfere with the taste of the other parts of the dish. The spicy black soy sauce on the side went pretty well with the meats too. I was also surprised when I saw a whole uncut green onion on my plate and then found out that it can be eaten as is. They have many other things on their menu that I need to give a try the next time I come back here, their food doesn't disappoint!

We ordered the meat combo and tofu pad thai. They were very delicious. Meats were cooked to perfection. I think this is the first thai food around seattle that I can actually say its a good thai food. The 5 star goes to the lady who worked up front as well as everything else she did, she was very diligent about cleaning the table, chairs and sweeping. It gave me a confidence about their cleanliness.

So glad that Kin Dee has made a home in Bellevue, offering Thai classics and street food items that are solid and all you need. Enough with these fancy, upscale Thai restaurants that are overpriced in Bellevue! Kin Dee is a breath of fresh air. My partner and I were happy to see that Kin Dee was opening in Bellevue, so we visited during soft opening and were pleased with what we ordered. Located in the Bel-Red neighborhood in a business strip with many other eateries and shops, parking can be tricky during prime dinner time. But there's plenty of parking. The space isn't huge, but enough seating for groups. Service was great, with fast service and water glasses never being empty. The menu features a lot to choose from, with classic Thai dishes and more regional ones. I like that they offer different dishes here compared to other Thai restaurants in Bellevue. My partner and I ordered the Nua Nam Tok salad to share and he had the Kao Ko Moo, a pork shank dish with rice, mustard greens and hard boiled eggs and I had the Mama Mor Fire, which is only offered for dine-in and is a Thai hot pot dish with crispy pork. Everything was tasty and spice level was legit. I ordered my dish with three stars and it tasted more like four stars; bring on the heat! I definitely would come back to Kin Dee for my Thai food cravings, especially for its variety of dishes that are not featured at other Thai restaurants nearby. Delicious food with much to discover.
