    Chicken larb

    The food was amazing! Full of flavor. The crying tiger (not pictured) is amazing. Good portion. The veggies are delish. Poor man noodle is packed with protein. Has more protein than noodles. The way they do their veggies has this amazing char to it. Absolutely delish. Boat noodles is packed with flavor. Very well balanced and layered. Ambiance. Very cute and intimate spot. Not really good for big groups. Service. The waitress needs a lot of coaching in service and in life. I would say she is new but she has been the same waitress from the last time we were there. Let say her service went down hill- if it was bad the other time. It was worst this time. The food is absolutely worth going again.

    Spring rolls, the dipping sauce was thinner than most places but very tasty

    Super cute thai place with a small outdoor patio. Perfect spot to epat before or after a walk at Liberty Park. The service was attentive, the food tasted fresh. Nothing was too heavy. It could be a little spicier but I think thats a personal preference. Overall a good experience!

    Don't come here for your standard Thai food, come here for their special kao soi with short rib. Must have but pricey, still really worth it. Quick service, usually plenty of room and parking.

    Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: Khao Soi and the Pad Thai We came across Kin Sen Thai while driving around the area a while back and I'm so sad it took me so long to finally remember to try the restaurant out! There is a decent variety of noodle and rice options for this pan-Asian restaurant. Their specialties are still Thai cuisine, which is what I ended up ordering. We got the Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Crying Tiger, and the Kin Sen Rice. The kitchen was a bit backed up, but when we finally got out food, everything was delicious! Our fried rice was normally supposed to come with white rice, but the server came out and asked if we'd be ok with brown rice and we agreed. It was good, but I don't typically order it and would like to try it with white rice instead. The Pad Thai had good flavors and the Khao Soi was one of the best I've had in a while. The crying tiger steak was cooked to a medium rare - what I personally prefer. The staff were all very welcoming and the restaurant was well kept. Can't wait to go back and try more items!

    New location. First time visiting this one, seems that they changed their menu and have added on new dishes. Garlic butter shrimp was delicious. It was crispy and in the bowl there is some sauce that compliments the shrimp. I got the Kao soi short beef ribs as my entree. It was different from the chicken one I had a few years ago but still delicious. It's very creamy and full of different flavors. The short ribs were very soft and tender that the meat would just fall right off.

    Best boat noodle!!! Boat noodle - better flavors than others in town, spicy, acidic, more savory and umami. I loved this and even liked it the next day as well. Highly recommend Khao soi - way too salty, overshadowing the curry flavors and the pickled veggies. I'm not sure if it's because it was concentrated from the end of the day but it was hard to take. The egg noodles in it were top notch though Sen yai - sweet, slightly acidic, and savory. Flavors that both adults and children would find palatable and easy. Service was frequent, not exceptionally friendly, but still good for an Asian joint Atmosphere was clean Overall I'd come back to try their other dishes too and again with the boat noodles

    We came here with my sister and her family, by recommendation from one of my Yelp fam. My sister and her family had just finished up snow boarding and skiing at Brighton, so it was the perfect place to meet them, before all the restaurants started closing. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious! I loved the Drunken Noodles! The Thai iced teas was definitely garnished and pretty (and yummy too)! The staff was great and checked in on us frequently. It wasn't too busy when we went. My family mentioned how they loved this choice after dinner. We'll be back again!

    Tried this place for the first time today. It's a nice small quaint Thai restaurant. The staff was helpful and friendly with suggestions. There were lots of options I hadn't heard of before so having someone explain them was great. The meats in all our dishes are incredibly tender. Their ramen is very flavorful and very fresh. Highly recommend it. We shared two dishes and both were excellent. The price is on the high side but not so much so that it isn't worth coming. Each dish is in the $20 range give or take a few dollars and their appetizers are in the high teens. I wouldn't mind going back to try other dishes.

    First time trying Kin Sen since they moved from their location on 2300 E. I don't know if they switched owners or not but I feel that the old location was better. Price is around the same and service was nice but the portions were definitely smaller. Overall still a nice lil gem in SLC and would recommend!

    Kin Sen Fried Rice with Brown Rice

    Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 5 (friendly staff) Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Kin Sen Thai Asian Noodle Bar is a cozy gem in Millcreek that delivers bold flavors. I started with a Thai Iced Tea, and they gave it a fun twist by topping it with whipped cream. This isn't traditional for Thai tea but it was delicious. For our meal, we shared a spread of Khao Soi, Pad Thai, Kin Sen Fried Rice, and Crying Tiger Steak. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The Khao Soi had a rich, comforting curry broth, and the Pad Thai was well-balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and tang. I ordered and extra side of slices of lime and they didn't charge extra. They were out of white rice for the fried rice, but the staff offered brown rice instead, and it was still delicious. It had a different grainy texture in comparison to white rice, but still delicious and added a nice nutty depth. The Crying Tiger Steak was tender and flavorful, rounding out the meal perfectly. Overall, Kin Sen impressed me with its vibrant dishes and friendly vibe. I'd love to be back to explore more of the menu.

    Very good service and the food was so good! Well worth the coin if you like Thai food. The chicken rice dish was sublime. I loved the curry dumplings aswell!

    What a gem. Ambiance: Unassuming restaurant on a little strip area. Inside was very nice, spacious, and well decorated. It seems like there's an outdoor area that could be use when it's not super cold out. Service: Quick and friendly. Food came out fast. Food: We got the boat noodles with beef which was delicious. The beef was nice a tender, the noodles were plentiful, and the flavor/spice was so delicious! We also got a Poor Man's Noodles which seemed like a mix of flat noodles and vegetables which was also delicious with a good flavor and hit of spice. The serving sizes were also ginormous and justify the pricing which can be a bit high. Overall, great food, portion for the price, and unique flavoring that I didn't expect to find!

    Sen Ya noodle in the front, Kao Sou noodle w/ short rib in the back

    Kao Soi noodle short rib was really good, it has yummy yellow curry sauce in it, short rib meat melt in our mouth, we couldn't get enough of it! Sen ya noodle was not as good as we thought, it had sweet and sour taste. Won't order that next time.

    The food was very good and ready on time for carry out. In my opinion the food was over priced, $140 for a meal for 3.

    5 stars, 10 if I could. This is a must try restaurant, everything was superb and first class…read more Walking distance from the Marriot hotel. I hope that more people discover this fine restaurant. The restaurant is classy in all details. Interior, dinnerware, service. All food is carefully crafted and delights the taste buds. Well balanced. We first tried this place when it was very young and I hoped that more would discover it. So glad that many have. It is one of the finer restaurants on the Wasatch Front, not just one of the finer Asian restaurants. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

I blame Google map not the restaurant. Most of the customers ordered pho the evening we were there, but I thought I should try something different, so we had Garlic Butter Wings (really juicy and very buttery); calamari (nice portion, but very greasy) Thai basil mango shrimp salad (my favorite dish of the evening, but it's a small portion and cost $20! ) AP Choe is crispy flat noodle, but againA, the price and the quantity/ quantity, none of them wow me. With 4 dishes plus tips, I spend more than $100!! How?!

    Back in October, I had put Red Lotus on my to go list when I was staying in SLC for a month. I…read morenever got a chance to make it in my last stay. Conveniently, we are in town for a couple days and our hotel is just right down the road. It was only right to mark this joint off my SLC food list. We came in around 5 and it was empty. My MIL and I picked a booth by the windows. I enjoy seeing the buzz of this city. It's was chaotic outside but so chill inside. It was nice to have the joint to ourselves. Jay served us tonight. He dropped off a couple menus and got some waters started for us. It was my MIL's first time trying Vietnamese cuisine. It took her a minute to breeze over the menu. As much as I wanted everything, I started off with a cup of the hot and sour soup. For dinner I got the black bean shrimp with veggies. My MIL decided on the bun thit nuong with cha gio. Last minute my MIL decided on some hot and sour soup too. They were dropped off first and it was perfect for hot soup on this cold winter day. The broth was thick and flavorful. It had hearty pieces of tofu, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. The soup had a good heat to it. The heat didn't hit you right away, it gradually got spicier the more you ate it. My mouth was burning towards the end of my bowl. It was good but it could have been a bit more sour. My plate of black bean shrimp and veggies came out hot! The veggies looked fresh and colorful. The shrimp were plump. And the sauce smelled flavorful and salty from the fermented black bean. You can tell my dish just came out fresh from the wok. The veggies and shrimp were so hot! The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The zucchini, green peppers and bamboo shoots were my favorite. All the veggies were covered in sauce, probably the best way to eat your veggies. I ate the whole plate! I'm not the biggest fan of water chestnuts and I even polished those off. My dish was fantastic. Jay did a great job serving us tonight. He was patient and attentive. He checked up on us several times even though he was so busy with to go orders. The location of this joint was so convenient. Even though it was freezing out, it was cool to walk to dinner. But it's also got to know they have parking available for their guests. Jay did a great job taking care of us tonight. And the food was spot on. I still have quite a few places I need to hit up when I'm in SLC but if we stay in the area again, I will have to hit up Red Lotus again. It was hands down a great meal and experience.

    The whole experience was off. Sesame chicken was unusually sweet. Tasted like syrup poured over…read moredry chicken chunks. Hot and sour soup was bland. Atmosphere was weird and didn't feel like anything Asian. American yacht music was playing while a soccer game was displayed on the large television. Service was mediocre, at best.
