Came with a friend. It wasn't busy but got busier as the evening progressed. Night and day experience. I tried something new which was the boiled as fried chicken with consomme. It was just eh. The fried chicken was good. The boiled chicken had zero flavor and my cat wouldn't event touch it. The consommé was boring and flavorless. The curry puffs were still very good. Thai tea was unimpressive. The service was awful. Which is shocking bc usually they are friendly. I attribute it partially to the large parties that started coming in. However, I draw the line at the server showing it very obviously that you are annoying them. It will be a while before I return!

Flavorful is the main word I think about when I think of this place. Everything has so much flavor and is so mouthwatering good! Have literally tried the whole menu at this point and I have not been disappointed once! I really really enjoy their green Thai tea, probably the best I've had honestly but all of their drinks are good like the regular Thai tea and matcha. Our fave dishes are the fried rice and the pork belly with tofu. I'm also a huge fan of their soups. Plates and inside are aesthetically pleasing and service is pretty good too!

Shoutout to my girl, Leena, for recommending this restaurant when I was visiting. I went with my girls here, and the food was delicious. I ordered their basil fried rice, and it was well-seasoned. Also, I enjoyed their basil strawberry lemonade, and it was refreshing. The waiter was kind and professional to us, and there were decent seating areas. If you visit Tucson and look a Thai place, I'd recommend you this one out!

Tried the new Kin Dee Thai, located in the Williams Center where Monkey Burger used to be. The restaurant is clean, open, inviting, and surprisingly (to me!) busy on a Wednesday afternoon. My favorite dining companion (my hub doesn't count because he is not an adventuresome eater) and I were looking forward to something new and we were not disappointed. We started with the Kin Dee Satay, presented as four glasses of the most tender and tasty chicken on sticks, peanut sauce, a pickled cucumber/carrot/parsnip? salad and toast soldiers. For her entree, my pal had the braised beef curry, delish and so tender. Puff pastry pieces accompanied, perfect for sopping up the luscious peanut sauce. I was torn between two favorites: Tom Kha soup and Shrimp Pad Thai. I went with the Pad Thai and it was excellent. Tom Kha, see you next time.

I came here with a friend to try out a new to us Thai place. The Thai iced tea was very cute but too sweet and tasted mostly of milk. The chicken basil I got and the pad kee Mao my friend got were indicated as spicy on the menu but both were not. The pad kee mao was savory and saucy which my friend loved. The chicken basil sauce almost tasted sweet to me and I needed to add a lot of chili oil to balance it out. The chicken and rice in the dish were good and it was a generous portion. The mango sticky rice was okay. The rice was deliciously sweet but the mango was not ripe and therefore a bit sour and I wish instead they would not sell it unless it was mango season.

Ok, I am super critical of Thai restaurants that claim to be authentic. I was able to spend several weeks in Thailand and finding something that isn't over sweetened and Americanized is hard. That being said, this place is very very close to I enjoyed chicken basil. Was only slightly sweetened compared to what I'm used to. Also it was extremely flavorful. The servers were awesome and explained things to everyone who had questions. I sat at their bar for ease. They have a very cute outdoor seating area and I love the mix of desert and Thai vibe they have going. I think it's very well done.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and I finally got the chance. I sat at the bar with a friend and tried several menu items. The bar attendants were friendly and the food came out quickly. It's a good place to watch sports for those who are into that kind of thing. The night I was there they had several TVs tuned into different events. I had the crab fried rice, curry puffs, and mango sticky rice. It was a tough decision because there were several things on the menu I wanted to try, plus their really cool-sounding drinks. The fried rice was so delicious, and a large portion, so I got to take some home. The curry puffs had such a great flavor and would be filling on their own if you were up for a smaller portion. The mango sticky rice was sweet yet not too sugary, the rice had just the right amount of sugar and the mango supplied the rest! I'm looking forward to returning to try more menu items soon!

This place was a lot bigger inside than expected. I got the ube matcha which was very delicious, and I am picky about my matcha drinks. The food was just ok. I got fried shrimp and one of the pieces still had batter on it, so I couldn't eat it. Personally, we wouldn't come back for the food but maybe for the drinks.

I loooove Thai but just haven't found THE place in Tucson yet. There are a couple of "solid" offerings in town (including their sister restaurant Tuk Tuk) but not rave-worthy like I've had in Chgo or Phx... until now. Kin Dee's family story is well represented by Chelsea and other reviewers so I'll just dive in. The venue itself is above-norm, approaching casual elegance vs typical SE Asian touristy. The wait time to order during peak times, as others have flagged, is long but tolerable. Fortunately, food delivery is prompt and absolutely delicious. We got the Khao Soi Braised Beef #23 and the Garlic Pork w/ Thai Style Omelette #39. The braised beef was ample for the serving and ridiculously tender, albeit with a few fatty edges. The broth is also curry-based which was a persuasive factor to motivate me away from my normal faves: green or yellow curry (I love that spicy/coconut-milk combo). The garlic pork was even more ample in protein and was just as much a feast for the palate as for the eyes. The (naturally colored) blue rice and whipped egg were great accompaniments to the lightly sauced if slightly dry (lean) pork. We washed everything down with a bottle of house cabernet (the vineyard was not memorable Lol) but at $20, it was reasonably priced. We took some of the garlic pork to-go so that we could enjoy their dessert of the day (not on the menu so just ask) mango sticky rice! At $9 it too was priced within reason. The mango was excellent - a whole, sliced, ripe, no bruises, yet still firm mango (the decisive factor so often missed) and the rice was just the right texture and (equally crucial) warmed! Notes: Parking is free/easy in this medium-sized strip mall. Although on the higher pricing end, Kin-Dee remains a good Thai dinner buy. Also, any dish that isn't otherwise pictured with rice (but ought to come with it, such as Tom Kha) will cost extra for that side. Finally, be mindful that tax is included into the "sub total" that you are given for tip calculations.

The interior will beautiful! Lots of lights and open space. And polite servers! A new Thai place in town with a more limited meal that appears less customizable than other Thai places, BUT with a try. When I say less customizable, I mean that I don't see spice level or protein adjustments mentioned on the menu, unlike at other Thai places. Thai tea and coconut water drinks were excellent. Refreshing and not overly sweet. If you like sweeter drinks, maybe it's not for you. The Garlic Shrimp rice dish was perfectly flavored with blue rice. Definitely will get again. The only surprise here was the shrimp itself was not crispy, but the flavors are there. The Shrimp Pad Thai was on point. The flavors you want from a Thai place are here for sure! The Mango Sticky Rice desert is the perfect balance of sweet mangos with cooked sticky rice and a coconut sauce to bring the dish together nicely.

Came here on a Friday night and was surprised to be seated right away. They have a wall that can open up to the patio and they had it open since the weather was nice. It's important to note that there is a cigar bar located next door. With the wall open at allowed for the smell of strong cigar smoke to enter the building. Those on the patio eating were making comments about it as well. Smell is important when it comes to food and this made for a less than desirable dining experience. We started with the curry puffs which came out much smaller than they appear in the picture on the menu. But the flavor was great. The chicken satay tasted good as well, but was also small compared to other Thai places. I also ordered the Kruah Gai noodle which was tasty. Overall the food tasted great. I just wish the cigar smoke wasn't overwhelming and the portions on the appetizers were larger.
