Decided to stop by this place in search of quality Thai food and a nice ambiance and it did not disappoint! My friend and I walked in at 9:20 (~40 mins before closing) and got a seat at the bar. They have happy hour from 9pm-close so we ordered the curry from the happy hour menu ($10), kra pao with an egg (~$20), and drinks (lychee martini $9, Thai-Tini $9). Such a great deal!! My favorite thing had to be the yellow curry, it was so creamy and had a nice kick. The kra pao was also very good, we picked spice 2 which was pretty hot but manageable. I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance, we got pretty lucky to get a walk in spot but the place was totally filled. A nice place for an upscale meal with a friend or a date! read more

Stopped by during my short visit to Seattle to catch up with a friend. She recommended we try out Kin Len, her local favorite Thai spot. I am so glad she did. Vibe - When I walked in, it felt like I was in a nighttime district on the streets of Thailand, eating and drinking whatever they had available. The vibe was that of a dark ambiance, with neon lights shining throughout the restaurant. Hospitality - The front-of-house staff was well-mannered and courteous, and they seated us quickly on a Monday night at 8:00 PM. It was a relatively busy night. However, we ordered fairly quickly, and the food came out within 10 to 15 minutes. Food - Food-wise, we ordered the Fried Papaya, Crispy Fried Rice, Khao Soi, Tom Yum, and Crispy Pork Belly Fried Rice. Gosh, I have to say, I was blown away by the flavors and the portion sizes! Typically, four dishes can serve three people, but I felt like these could have served five. The fried papaya salad was lightly battered with a typical papaya salad dipping sauce featuring a base of fish sauce, green beans, tomatoes, and chilies. It was good. The crispy fried rice was served with lettuce wraps, and OMG, I kid you not when I tell you this is some of the crispiest rice I've ever had. It's hard to find, but when you do, you can't wait to take another bite. I thought the khao soi overall was not bad. I enjoyed that they put the fried noodles on top so that you can mix them into the curry when it's brought out. Lastly, the pork belly was well-cooked with a crispy, crunchy exterior, and served with delicious Thai-flavored fried rice! Drinks - We ordered the Thai lemon iced tea and the Thai tea cremosa. Both tasted good. Overall, I was very satisfied with this place, and if I lived here, I could see myself grabbing some late-night bites with the homies. read more

We came here during happy hour for a late dinner - wow everything was so flavorful! We got the beef tongue skewers, red curry with roti, boat noodles, fried squid, and pork laarb. We also got lychee martini and another cocktail on the menu. Everything was sooo good and a big stand out for me was the red curry and fried squid. Seems like a fun spot! It was still so busy with people as we were leaving. Great service, food came out quickly and would definitely stop by again. read more

Upon entrance there is complimentary fruit flavored water which is plus. Decor takes you into a tiki bar setting which is perfect for date nights or hangouts with friends. Happy hour is from 3-6 pm and includes a variety of dishes including beef tongue and chicken wings. I have been to a lot of places but this seems to be one of my top Thai places. The crab fried rice is rich and huge in portion. Similar to the red curry battered chicken is creamy and fragrant. read more

We came back again!! I've been thinking about the battered chicken red curry since the last time I came and have been antsy to get back here for the past month! The wait was quick for lunch time on Sunday and our food came out relatively fast! We already knew we loved the battered chicken red curry but the crispy prawns were new to us and delicious. Definitely a must order for us! They were so juicy and had great flavor. I'm always impressed with the decor and the staff. Constantly recommending this place to friends! read more

The battered chicken red curry is one of my top 10 most favorite dishes, ever. Everything about the chicken and the curry is just perfect; the chicken is perfectly fried with a light batter and the curry is super flavorful without being too heavy. And the portions are HUGE. As of this review, I've went twice when I was starving - I barely finished once and had leftovers the other time. The taste and value are insane, my only main concern with the meal is that it's not balanced at all since there's zero vegetables at all but it gets a pass from me. Service is pretty average and it can be really hard to get in. I think both times I got in we went at pretty late hours, that's probably the move if you want to dine in. The interior of the restaurant is pretty nice and is a good spot for a casual dinner with a group of friends. 5/5 read more

Kin Len Thai Night Bites - Battered Chicken Red Curry - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Friday at 6- wait was over an hour for a party of 3 it started as 15-30 minute and grew from there so be warned. The place has a very cool atmosphere and great food date nights or nights out. the staff were nice but the waiting area is very cramped so maybe having a better system for waitlists would be nice & being more aware of the lengthy wait times (yelp is inaccurate). But honestly I was getting super hangry and the food came out pretty quick after we got a seat and ordered. Oh my gosh everything was SO FLAVORFUL and delicious. The chicken was so lightly battered and had the perfect crunch! Super juicy. I really liked the citrus in my tom yum. Fire food but it is reallyyyy salty so be warned. Nonetheless everything was cleared bc the the 1+ hr wait starved us ngl. Overall highly recommend though! Great time and a great dinner I will reminisce on read more

Can't believe it took me this long to finally try Kin Len! The food was absolutely incredible and totally lived up to the hype. I ordered the shrimp pad thai, the shrimp cakes, and the squid roe appetizer--every single dish was SO GOOD. The shrimp cakes were a highlight, and the squid roe was such a unique, delicious find. The ambiance is nice and lively, making it a great spot for a night out. Service was just okay, but to be fair, they were in the middle of a peak rush, and the quality of the food more than made up for the wait. Definitely won't wait this long to come back! read more

Kin Len Thai Night Bites - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We recently dined at this cozy restaurant and it didn't disappoint. At first glance when we entered I wasn't impressed. After we were greeted and escorted to a different area of the restaurant I instantly felt the vibe and admired the decor. We were then seated and not long after, our server came over to introduce himself. He was pleasant. I started off with a *Lychee Martini*. We ordered the *Boat Noodles with Beef*, Boat Noodles Everything*, *Pad See Ew with Shrimp*. and 3x the spice. Each entrée was flavorful and came in huge servings. The leftovers the next day were just as tasty. This was a true gem. read more

The food was quite good overall. I would say the entrees were maybe just above average but not as outstanding as the apps and drinks. The service was ok, though maybe a little sporadic. Ambiance is cool because of the fun decor and neons that set the vibe. We would probably come back, and I do love that they have a whole vegan menu section and have clear labels for many common allergens. Would recommend! read more

Went to Kin Len for happy hour on a Thursday evening. I love their Yelp waitlist system in the front entryway- it gives an estimate of wait time and makes it easy to check where you are in line. That said, only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. The atmosphere was lively , and the decor is truly unique and vibrant! Their happy hour menu is truly special- had some delicious boat noodles (savory and deep flavor with a little bit of kick to the broth) for around $11, and grilled calamari for $10. Their draft singha in a chilled glass really rounds out a nice happy hour for under $30 a person. You will leave stuffed. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, have seen such great reviews. We finally made it for dinner this week. This is such a cool place, we had to wait for about 30 mins to get table, we walked around the block while we waited. This place stands up to all the hype around it. It's a lively place on a Friday night, with good music and happy hour after 9pm. We got the Thai fried squid with Roe, Kra pao with Chicken, and Garlic Prawns with sticky rice. We loved the Thai fried squid with Roe, and Garlic Prawns with sticky rice. The Kra Pao was good, we went with 3 stars for spice level and it was spicy. We love spicy food and can handle spice, this was hitting the limit for us. Now we know, next time we'll go with 2. We got Banana Celebration to finish our meal. We loved the coconut ice cream, and fried bananas. It was a great end to our meal. read more

I've always like Kin Len. They really nail the vibe with a cool little mini entry and then when you go into the main dining room it's like another space entirely. Food is filled with Thai standards and some more inventive dishes which I like. Service is prompt and friendly. Like other reviewers, it's totally fine during the day but amazing at night. read more

Kin Len Thai Night Bites - Stir Fry Yellow Curry with Prawns - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place has made me firmly believe that seattle has the best food in the country. I would honestly give it a 10/5 if I could. Every single item we got was so flavorful and came in very decently sized portions. We came around 8pm and even then it was a 45-60 min wait with 17 parties before us. That's how popular this place is. Every single item we got was out of the park!! Everything is a 5/5 for me: 1) Khao Soi: LOVED IT. comes with egg noodles, onion, pickled vegetable, chicken, and fried egg noodles in curry soup. This dish was full of different kinds of flavors and textures that just complemented each other super well 2) Battered Chicken Red Curry: the crisp and crunch of the chicken is heavenly. They give A LOT of chicken. The curry is also delicious but I wish they gave more of it. 3) red chicken curry: hands down the best red curry i've ever had. The curry is just so creamy and has such a rich flavor that I've never had before (I can almost taste a hint of parmesan in it or something). 4) Boat noodle: also fire. The vibes inside is similar to that of a bar/club restaurant. Super fun and cool! I would love to come back 1000% read more

Best pad see ew and can't miss out on the crispy chicken red curry! I also recommend the Thai iced lemon tea if you like the Thai iced tea flavor, but don't want the heaviness of the dairy. The portions are big for two people so great for leftovers. Their service was great and very friendly! There is a plenty of seating but definitely expect a wait because of how popular it is. read more

This place is SO good! the dishes had creative twists with so much flavor. The portions were also pretty large, and we ended up not being able to finish despite loving everything. we got the battered chicken red curry, and the way that the batter soaked up the curry made the chicken a flavor bomb. We also got the papaya salad, but we overestimated our ability to eat spicy and got a spice level slightly too high, but the kick was great and the flavor was all there. I definitely am bookmarking this spot for future visits to seattle because I want to come again! read more

Seventh time we've visited. Very wide selection of Thai food. Consistently 4+. Good execution and flavors. Consistency is excellent.

I had a meeting until 9pm, so it worked out perfectly that they have happy hour from 9-10pm. I was absolutely SHOCKED that we got so much delicious food for under $60 including tax and tip. I didn't try the chicken wings, but I loved everything else. - Beef boat noodles - 10/10 - I was obsessed with this. I would absolutely get this again. I wanted a whole bowl for myself honestly but we already had too much food. Incredibly flavorful and complex broth, tender beef, what more can I ask for? - Crispy mussel omelette - 9/10 - This was SO crispy it definitely was not just crispy egg; there's some light batter on it too. I was amazed by how big this was. The mussels were solid. A must-get if you love crispy egg. - Larb - 8/10 - This was very good; I got 2 out of 3 spicy and I definitely needed a lot of water and other food to help with the spice. It was on the sour side (in a good way). - Crispy wontons - 10/10 - I've actually never had this but apparently it's common in Thai Chinatowns. There is meat inside and the whole thing is deep fried. Delicious. I would absolutely come back for happy hour - the deals are too good! read more

Nice Thai restaurant with some unique food items. We only stopped by for some late-night snacks. I want to try more of their main dishes next time. * Chicken Wings & Sticky Rice 4/5 - The chicken skin was bit dry, but the meat was juicy and flavorful. The sticky rice was pretty plain. * Fried Squid 4/5 - This dish reminded me of popcorn chicken, but with squid. Very crispy. A bit fishy. * Banana Ice Cream 4.5/5 - Came with a sparkler which was cool. Coconut Ice cream was yummy, but it had a slightly sour aftertaste which threw me off. It may be the type of coconut they purchased. Fried banana was really good. * Thai Tea 5/5 - Tasted great. Strong Thai tea and milk flavors that blended together nicely. read more

Still hands out my favorite Thai place in Seattle it has the best food selection and the portion sizes are so good worth the price. It's always super busy here so make sure you come before you actually get super hungry so you don't have to wait a long time. I came here during happy hour this time and they have a pretty good selection of happy hour food as well. I highly recommend getting the boat noodles. It's super umami. The flavor is super good and lots of meat. read more

Kin Len Thai Night Bites - Khao Soi, Phad See Eiw - Thai Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My star rating is solely based on food. Service and ambiance was great. Food: I tried 3 appetizers, 4 entrees, 1 dessert, and 1 Thai tea. The portions are good (at least on the noodle dishes). Everything but the octopus carpaccio, 2 in 1 pork, and mango sticky rice was under flavored. The flavor was good, but it was under flavored. The dipping sauce for the grilled tongue and jowl was lacking and not at all what I was expecting for those dishes based on my experiences at other Thai restaurants. I wouldnt avoid it if a friend wanted to come here. But i would rather go to a restaurant I know is better or try a new restaurant than come back. Service was wonderful. Everyone was nice and friendly. Atmosphere is great. This place is gorgeous. I came around lunch time. Its so pretty for groups or for a date. read more

Super yummy Thai spot that I would definitely come back to. It definitely had more of a late night vibe with the dark lighting which I liked. There was a pretty long estimated wait on a Saturday night for a party of 5 but it ended up being only 30 minutes. We unfortunately had an issue with AC duct right above us leaking, but the employees were super quick to tell management which I appreciated. They ended up giving us a free dessert that was super good as well Gal tod kin len set: 5/5 the chicken, sauce, and papaya salad were all really good. I especially liked that the chicken wasn't dry which I feel is a common issue Chicken red curry with roti: 4/5 but not as memorable compared to the other dishes Pad thai: 4/5 I really liked this but it's nothing crazy Pineapple fried rice: 5/5 might be a little biased because I like this dish a lot in general but I thought it was really good Thai tini: 3/5 my friend liked this but I personally thought the alcohol flavor was too strong so I didn't really like it read more

My brother said this is hands down Seattle's best thai food and I was doubtful until my first bite. We ordered the Battered Chicken red curry, papaya salad, and tom yum soup. The red curry is delicious, I'd go as far to say it's a must order for every table. The chicken is crispy and the curry is flavorful making it a great dish to pair with some rice. The papaya salad was refreshing and portions were huge!! Tom yum soup was spicy, warm and perfect for a cooler day. All the portions were huge so we walked away full to the brim with delicious food. The restaurant is pretty big but I've heard the wait can be pretty long. We came around 1:30pm for lunch to skip the rush and we got seated right away. If you're ever in the fremont area/vintage flea market definitely swing by for lunch! read more

Delicious Thai spot! They have happy hour (smaller portions) everyday from 3-6pm and 9-10pm which is great! Parking can be difficult and lines can be long so take that into account. Unfortunately upon being seated, our glasses weren't clean - one had lipstick on it and the other had leftover residue. Other than that, service was okay but the food was the star of the show. Kin Len wings: the happy hour portion comes with 2 wings. They were crispy and juicy inside. The wings weren't super flavorful but there was a side of tamarind sauce which made it better. Uncle ood's flank red curry with wild betel leaves and sticky rice: the meat was super tender and the red curry was delicious. It was creamy but full of flavor. Highly recommend. Khao soi: the curry in this dish was delicious, creamy, and full of flavor. I got chicken as the protein and it was plentiful. The chicken was also super tender and packed with flavor. This was the highlight of my meal. Overall, a really delicious and authentic Thai spot although wait and parking can be hard/difficult/long. read more

My friends and I went here for NYE and what a way to end 2025! Food & drink: (4.5/5) I've never had a Thai place that missed the mark but this spot is truly something special. We got the battered chicken, papaya salad, kin len wings, khao soi (I didn't get to try this but my friends seemed to really enjoy it), pad thai, and calamari. The standout for me was definitely the battered chicken- crispy outside, tender inside, and a GREAT sauce that my friend was scooping clean off the plate. The only thing that I probably wouldn't get again is the calamari. It wasn't bad, but just wasn't anything to write home about. As for drinks, I got the coconut bonfire and my friends got thai teas and lychee martinis. The coconut bonfire was nice and creamy with the coconut milk, but didn't have the matcha note I was looking for. I would definitely get it again tho! The one thing I wish was different was that none of the food came spicy, nor were we asked if we wanted spice with anything. Granted, I could've asked for it after but I didn't want to bother the staff on such a busy night. Service: (5/5) Even though they were packed with the NYE crowd, I could tell that they were super efficient with getting everyone their orders and getting people in and out of the restaurant. Also super friendly. Other notes: Street parking is all over. Luckily we got a free spot across the street since it was after paid parking hours. I would also suggest calling or checking their website if you're interested in getting a reservation since they don't always take them. read more

Kin Len Thai Night Bites is a Freemont staple. It is usually pretty busy so make sure to sign up on the Yelp waitlist feature they have. You do have to be close enough of a proximity in order to join so factor that into when you join. It is easier to get seating if you're all 21 and can sit in the bar area. There's a small waiting area in the front and there's usually some water. All together definitely a solid Thai spot for the area. Good place to go with friends, cutely decorated inside. Staff: nice (4/5) Sanitation status: really clean and tidy (5/5) Spicy Bomb Wings with Sticky Rice (5/5) These are delicious Spicy fish sauce wings. They caramelize the fish sauce to give it a nice savory and spicy sauce with a hint of sweetness to balance it off. I would definitely say it is pretty spicy. I don't eat super spicy usually about 2 or 3 out of 5 but this is more like a 4.5 to me. Beef Hotpot (4/5) This is a really interesting flavor profile to describe but I can't even say anything but almost all the flavors you can imagine. The broth gave a sweet but sour and savory with a hint of sweetness in it. It came with a lot of beef as well as meatballs and your choice of noodles. The hotpot is a larger size that can definitely be shared with people. Prawns with Glass Noodles (3.5/5) I didn't really like this dish too much. I felt like it lacked a bit of flavor even with the additional sauce they provided. It was really dry as well which didn't help with the texture of the glass noodles. I would definitely order something else next time. Rainbow Custard Bread (3.5/5) This was okay it was steamed bread with different custards. I think the colors were for some different flavors added in. It wasn't anything special to me but I would've preferred a different texture for the bread. read more

This place is so good! Whenever I come to Seattle now, I know I will be coming here. It was my second time here and I solo dined on a weekday for lunch. There weren't too many people eating then so food and drinks came out quick. I got the thai tea creamosa which is basically like a thai tea with whip cream. It was so delicious and sweet and paired amazing with the savory food. For my entree I got the battered chicken red curry and it was diving. The curry has such a good creamy flavor while the chicken was cooked perfect. It also came with rice. I would go back over and over again for this dish. The interior here is really beautiful and they have plenty of seating though I do think it gets busy on the weekend. read more

Ambiance was like the streets of Bangkok or any large metropolis in Thailand, we also enjoyed the vibe it wasn't too loud so you could still hear your friends. The food was a tad salty on the wontons & the texture was odd so one star down. The other items we ordeeed were all delish we just couldn't finish it all! The happy hour sizing is very reasonable! read more
