We went with friends and ordered Thai food - which was delicious if a little sweet for our taste. I thought the portions were a little bit small for the price - especially as we had to order rice separately. BYO is $6 per bottle.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this place; their shopfront proclaims Kenny's Kitchen an…read more"Asian fusion" establishment, but their take-away menu seemed like it was mostly a collection of typical (Westernized) Asian fare. Thankfully, dining here showed that Kenny's Kitchen has all the excellent creativity, presentation, and flavors that the Asian fusion label promises. Technically it may be slightly more accurate to describe the food here as "modern Asian", but that's splitting hairs. The point is, the food here is creative, well executed, and tasty. The calamari entree delivers battered and fried pieces of squid served over the top of a salad containing, among other things, plenty of Malaysian style spices and just the right amount of hot chillies. It's unlike anything I've had elsewhere, and quite delicious as well. The 'crispy beef w/ plum' sauce is also very good, and the 'sizzling mongolian lamb' that another table ordered was delivered sizzling quite vigorously indeed. I've no idea how it tastes, but it certainly sounded delicious. It's definitely on the list of things to try on my next visit. Prices and portions are both quite reasonable. With any luck they'll stay that way. Though honestly, given the quality of the food and the location of the restaurant they could probably get away with charging a little bit more. Just one (very) minor issue to report; while the calamari itself was cooked beautifully, the batter on the outside was just slightly soggy/chewy. Like maybe the temperature on the fryer needs to be turned up just a tad, or something. But with that one exception, I can't really find any fault with the meal.

This was our 2nd try at this restaurant and unfortunately we will not be giving them another…read morechance. Spent almost $100 and complained that the meat in Fillet Steak in Chinese Sauce was tough, grizzly and chewy,Duck in Plum Sauce was more sauce than duck. Fortune cookies purchased, not complimentary, stale and taken back only to be replaced by more stale ones from same batch, excuse - bought in that way not made there. No complimentary replacement meal offered, no partial refund offered, nothing to entice us to try them again or feel that they valued our patronage. Very disappointing as the place was recommended to us as the best place to get Chinese, very ordinary food, even more ordinary customer service.

The food is really interesting and flavorful, and they had a good choice of menu items for all folks in our party, including gluten-free and dairy free. The food came out pretty promptly, but like restaurants like this, the food may come out at different times at your table. Our party really loved the Pad Junk, the Mixed Greens, the Tempura Zucchini, and Edamame. Parking can be a pain if it's busy on Ocean Street. The ambience is really fun and the service is good. We would definitely return again!

Consistently delicious Thai food. Melinda's is better than the majority of the competing Thai…read morerestaurants on the Southern end of the Sunny Coast. They've easily got the best Laksa out of any Thai restaurant I've dined at so far (on or off the Coast). And while most of their other dishes don't reach the same pillar of excellence as their Laksa, they are still all quite good. I've yet to have a bad meal at Melinda's, nor has anyone I've taken here ever been unhappy with their meal. Prices are maybe a little higher than I'd like, but considering the overall quality (and also quantity; portions tend to be satisfyingly large here) I'm happy to let this point slide. The dine-in service can be a little lackluster, particularly for larger parties or during very busy times. Be prepared to wait a little while for your food to come out, and don't be surprised if it doesn't arrive all at once. But once it does you can be confident that you're in for a good meal, at least.

We both ordered lunch special, Thai pad variety with spring rolls and traditional drinks. I went with the young fresh coconut and she went with Thai coffee. The drinks were terrific and both pad thais were flavourful, although portion size a touch small.

She was the weak component of our dining experience that was overall ok.
