Came here on the lunchtime on a weekend and it's super Duper crowded and full already. I can tell immediately this is the authentic place with the servers! Ordered the curry and Tim Yum. If like Thai food, you will not be disappointed. It is something about them asking how spicy you want that is so funny because you gotta be careful with Thai spice!!! I have to say, however, even the spiciest is not very spicy so you'll have to ask for extra chili on the side. The dessert looks spectacular as well as the drinks like mango cloud! Yum! Very beautiful and clean ambience!
Saw this spot just opened recently so we went to check them out. While dining here, we discovered that they have a grand opening special from Oct 2nd to Oct 4th 2026, so we came back again for the grand opening where everything on the menu is 50% off. Which was a pretty good deal. The restaurant is pretty bright and clean. The decors were pleasant to the eyes. Staffs were very friendly and service was excellent. And the foods were very good. Every items we ordered were delicious.
An extraordinary Thai food experience right here in Chino! chino 非同凡響的泰國菜 Tried 9 dishes and drinks, from their Matcha Series and beautifully presented hot drinks to standout dishes like the Khao Soi with Ribeye Steak, Holy Chili Bomb Basil Omelette, Papaya Salad, and Jumbo Prawns Ob Woon Sen. A fun Thai food tour without leaving the Inland area! IG: socalhkfoodies
PHENOMENAL food!! everything was SO flavorful and intentional, plus the food came out so quick! we had 4 entrees, the thai tea creme brulee, and kinaree matcha and it was all spectacular! matcha was amazing too, better than a lot of the matcha cafes in the area!! :) service was also so good!! new fave restaurant!! must try!!!
Delicious food, beautiful interior, and excellent service! We ordered the Khao Soi Chicken, Chicken Panang Curry, and Papaya Salad, all with mild spice, and it was PERFECT! Every dish was packed with flavor. Although this is Thai food and not Japanese, I have to say... UMAMI! This place is still very new, and you can tell! Everything is clean, bright, and beautifully designed. The interior is lovely, and I absolutely LOVE how simple and thoughtfully designed the menus are. Large photos with detailed descriptions are exactly what I look for when deciding what to order! It makes choosing dishes so much easier than flipping through pages of text. Simple, clean, and practical! The staff deserves a shoutout, too! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. They regularly checked in on us and kept our water glasses topped off without us even having to ask. That kind of service definitely makes a difference! I rarely order curry when dining out, but my oh my, the Panang Curry was DELICIOUS! I usually end up taking leftovers home, but the portion sizes here were just right. Satisfying without being overwhelming! And the best part? All three dishes came in at under $60! For food this flavorful, great service, and such a nice dining atmosphere, that's a pretty good deal! Kinaree Eatery is definitely going on my list of places to revisit. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
Saw the ads for soft opening for this place so we went to try it out. They were very busy during the opening but the services were still excellent. They offered quite a unique menu but also with your typical Thai/Laos dishes. We ordered the soft shell crab curry, Papaya salad, Northern Thai sausages and the grilled pork jowl. Each of these dishes have a special/different Robust flavors. The curry dish had a thick curry gravy with different herbs compared to the regular green, red or yellow curry dish. The pork jowl was served with the fish dipping sauce over a bed or romaine lettuce. The papaya salad, Thai style, was mediocre but still good flavors. The Thai sausages was so full of Thai herbs and spices. Serves with green cabbage, mints and a dipping sauce. A bit pricey but at least we don't have to battle the traffic to go down to Thai town. Pretty authentic.
Delicious food and super nice service from the staff! Get the Thai tea cheesecake if you can - it was delicious and worth the runs (lactose intolerant)
Very disappointing and inhumane handling of the waitlist We came here today because of the 50% off promotion. I completely understand that the restaurant was extremely busy and that the staff were under a lot of pressure. However, the way the waitlist was handled was extremely disappointing. We arrived around 11:30 AM and put our names on the waiting list. Our group included a pregnant woman, children and person with high blood pressure. Since it was nearly 100°F outside, we waited at the nearby Starbucks rather than standing outside in the extreme heat. I still checked back with the restaurant approximately every 10-15 minutes. At one point, I saw staff calling names and removing customers who were not outside when their names were called. Since we were on the second page of the waiting list, I continued checking and expected that we would eventually be called. Around 1:30 PM, after waiting for approximately three hours, we discovered that our name had been removed from the list. We had never been clearly told that we had to physically remain outside the entire time, nor were we given any indication that our name was about to be removed. What I found particularly troubling was being told that 2:30 PM was the last call for lunch, yet our name had already been removed around 1:30 PM--about an hour before the stated lunch cutoff. When I asked whether we could be added to the evening waiting list instead, I was simply told to come back at 5:00 PM and start over. I understand that the staff were exhausted and overwhelmed because of the 50% off promotion. However, expecting customers to stand outside in nearly 100°F heat for hours just to remain on a waiting list felt completely unreasonable and, frankly, inhumane. There should have been a reasonable alternative for customers to wait somewhere nearby and still remain on the list, especially when the restaurant was aware of the extreme heat. We were not asking for special treatment or to skip the line. We were simply asking to remain on the waiting list while waiting nearby in a safer and more reasonable environment. A promotion may bring many customers through the door, but customer service still matters. If a restaurant expects people to wait for hours in extreme heat, there should at least be clear communication, reasonable accommodations for waiting, and basic courtesy. Unfortunately, after waiting nearly three hours and then being told to come back and start all over again, we left with a very negative impression of the restaurant. I hope management seriously reviews how the waitlist is handled during promotions. The goal should be to attract new customers and turn them into repeat customers--not leave them feeling that they were treated as an inconvenience.
We came back again this week with the rest of the family and how embarrassing. After raving about this place and ordering the same things, our steak and eggs which was to be the highlight of the meal was really bad. We ordered it chefs recommendation medium, it came well done and burned and had a lot of inedible tendon. After returning it to the kitchen to be remade, it was better but still had a lot of inedible tendon that we had to chew and discard. It didn't seem to be the same quality steak as before. The table next to us also send back their avocado toast with smoked salmon because they said it wasn't fresh and was an odd color. They were also def a lot busier so service was def lacking and we had to flag them down multiple times for water refills. The pancakes and crab fried rice were the only things consistent though. Hope this was a one time fluke as we were really excited for this place.
We came here this afternoon for the first time and found a hidden gem! Food was great and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My new favorite Thai place in Chino
Everything was good and tasty. And the service was excellent. My wife and son loved the Shrimp Donut. It came out hot and fresh. And my son liked it so much that he wanted the next bite even when it was really hot. Crying Tiger was really good but I recommend it to be cooked Medium. Fried Hainan chicken was good and tasty. We also had the Mango Cream Clouds and Thai tea. Both of them were very good, but we preferred the Mango Cream Clouds. The staff was very nice and patient with us. The menu is huge and a lot to choose from.
Amazing food! The skewers were our favorite!! The Hainan chicken was different from what we're used to and the bbq chicken was more like fried chicken but still yummy.
My dad was visiting so I took him here for thai dining. I usually go to their other location in CH, but wanted to try out this new location. Its a cute little restaurant that recently opened. They have the same items at the same prices but I noticed they have more options including their drinks. My dad and I ordered hot tea, pandan matcha, rice for both, soft shell crab curry, and shrimp tom yum. Food was great and service was nice. The only thing was we had to ask for water multiple times. The bill was $80 plus $12 for tip for 2 people. I wouldn't say that's cheap at all but their items are good. In fact, I went back 2 days later and got another matcha drink to enjoy. I'm a fan but wish dining out wasn't so much these days! read more

We had such a great meal at Kinaree Eatery! We heard there's a location in Chino Hills and Irvine, too! Everything we ordered was delicious. We got the crab pad Thai, pork skewers, braised beef panang curry, and soufflé pancakes with berry & cream. Honestly, my favorite items were all the savory dishes. The flavors were so good, and I would definitely order them again! The soufflé pancakes were a little overcooked and didn't really stand out to me, but everything else was great. The drinks were also delicious! I got the pandan matcha, which I loved, and my husband got the Thai coffee, which was delicious and not too sweet. The service was great, too. The staff was attentive and friendly, and they sat us right away. We went on a Sunday around noon, and the place was packed, so I can see how busy it gets. The space is a little narrow, so when it's full, it can feel a bit crowded. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back for more of the savory dishes and drinks! read more

We went in last week and this week. The food is amazing! Very flavorful and tasty. The crying tiger meat was nice and tender and the dipping sauces are delicious! The pork belly with rice was amazing! Nice crunchy parts and very very flavorful! The drinks are good too. One of the best pandan drinks I had. From experience not a lot of places can create a flavorful pandan drink but I think this place did it! I'd love to see a pandan soufflé pancake eventually! The dessert we got was Thai tea crème brûlée' it was delicious it was not very sweet just the right amount. Definitely coming back to try the other foods. The location is a bit small but it's very beautiful inside. Nice area for a mini date. The service was fast and great! They check on you every now and then to see if you need anything. Very friendly. read more

Got the opportunity to eat here today, the wait was super long ! Understandably so since it's the grand opening, but I wish it was a little more structured, the one waiter who seemed to be doing it all was very kind, food was pretty good!, I will go back to try something different (I got breakfast foods) and hopefully is not as hectic. read more

My family and I came for the grand opening (mainly because we saw it was 50% off) but were pleasantly surprised. Kinaree will absolutely be our go to for Thai now! We got the Pad Thai with crab and pork belly, and it was delicious easily one of my favorite Pad Thais I've had in the area. It was very reminiscent of another Thai spot nearby that used to have some of the best Pad Thai, so I'm very happy to have found a new fav. We also tried the pork belly over rice, the Panang Curry with ribeye and the crab fried rice. Honestly there wasn't a single thing we ordered that we didn't love. Janet was our server and she was great! She gave us some really good recommendations and made the whole experience even better. The place also is super cute. Will definitely be back! read more

Everything we ordered was delicious! The grilled beef was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly, and the dipping sauces had so much flavor. The grilled pork skewers were also really good tender, flavorful, and nicely grilled. The curry with beef was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the crispy shrimp dish was definitely another favorite. The shrimp were big and crispy, and the presentation was beautiful. I also loved how every dish was plated so nicely. You can tell they put a lot of care into both the food and presentation. Great flavors, good portions, and a nice modern twist on Thai food. Definitely coming back to try more dishes! read more
