KIN in Camden

Really good food and lively atmosphere. Service needs a bit of polishing

great mix of pan Asian street food - rice and noodles with plenty of meat and vegan options. Good friendly service. Booking in advance recommended

Incredible food, great portion sizes and great service! The calamari and khao soi were especially amazing, would definitely recommend. Can't wait for my next visit!

Really nice restaurant, pretty good khao soi and a massive portion, good vibe

Very very nice place, it was a good find

Kin is situated towards the north end of Leather Lane. It is a short walk away from Farringdon station. We were able to get a table early on a Friday evening without prior booking on the proviso we completed our meal within one hour. Unfortunately the menu, like many restaurants these days, is online making it a little tricky to order if there is more than one person eating. I found the menu somewhat limited so I ordered one dish of vegetable dumplings, another of chicken dumplings and some Singapore noodles. To drink, we had a bottle of Viognier. The wine was very good but I found all the dishes somewhat uninspiring. They were all quite bland and lacking in taste. Service was decent and the cost without tip was £69 for two.

Great food and service. Small menu but has good choices. Helpful with taking things out or putting things in. Always enjoy it here.

The food was so good, the staff were super attentive. it took a minute for them to come and take our order but once they did the food came so quickly and tasted incredible. very intimate and cosy dining but casual at the same time. 10/10 would definitely go again

I had the tofu Pad Thai there, and at the end, I mentioned that the noodles were too hard, just as a bit of feedback. One of the staff immediately responded with, 'I asked you earlier, why didn’t you say anything?' She had asked how things were right after the food was served, and at that point, the top part of the noodles was fine, but later on, they became too tough to chew. Another staff member came over, was really nice about it, and even offered us a discount. My partner's meal was great, but it’s a shame the first staff member seemed to be having a rough day.

Noodle dish was very oily and taste was only ok. Not what I was expecting. Maybe I was just unlucky today.

Starters are delicious and great portion size and tasty mains

So we got the weekly special Thai Fried Chicken with rice with Fried Thai Chicken wings and they were delicious. I’ve eaten a many fried chicken and this is world class stuff. Great customer service too. It’s a small venue so book ahead if you can but we just turned up and managed to grab a table of 2.

We met with friends and had a wonderful dinner and the staff were great. We will be back again.

Food was great, table service was good minus the bill being incorrect and us having to travel back to the restaurant later on to rectify it. You need to book as it gets busy but be aware they do harass you prior to your booking with several phone calls, texts and emails. I booked 24 hours before and in that time received 2 phone calls, 2 texts and 2 emails to confirm. As I only booked the evening before and I would have been charged £30 if I cancelled I was definitely showing up. After leaving I received more phone calls and texts after the service staff incorrectly billed us so we had to travel back to rectify this. A day after I am still getting calls. Very frustrating for somewhere with excellent food. I’d love to go back but not sure I want more calls from them.

The food and service at Kin are very good especially as the restaurant was busy even at 6:30. The service was lightening quick. About 8 minutes or less from order to the food arriving at the table. Perhaps a little too quick and it seems I barely had time to take a first sip of my drink. One thing that really surprised me is that curries - including the special massaman - were off the menu ostensibly because they had run out of coconut milk. There must be a 20-50 grocery shops within that area so I thought that was a bit of a weak excuse for Thai restaurant! That aside the small plates and pad Thai were well cooked and tasty. As good as any food I have had in Bangkok. So I will return and hopefully next time get to check out one of the curries. (Maybe I’ll take along a can of coconut milk just in case 😊)

Helpful, friendly staff and excellent food. Will be back and highly recommend

The food was super fresh, I loved the various portion size options on some of the dishes and that you clearly indicate what can be, or is nato, gluten free. Overall a fab dining experience.

It's way too noisy in here. The tip is maximum, the service nearly minimum. Food is okay, but you can taste it's not fresh. The welcoming was very nice at least.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere - particularly recommend the tofu curry noodles. Excellent veggie options. Shout out to the guy with red hair for hosting us, really made the evening, even charged my phone behind the bar. 100% would visit again.

Delicious food, fast service. Wish we were hungry enough to try more dishes

Fabulous restaurant if not the best Pan Asian in London, it would be top 2! Who am I kidding - it is the best

A popular lunch venue for me and have always enjoyed the food there. For starters we had the crispy squid which was delicious and a keen favourite. Unfortunately on this occasion the sea bass for 2 was really over fried so our main course was disappointing. However we did get a discount on our bill which we didn’t ask for . Appreciated but sadly it was a birthday treat for a close colleague. Even so I will definitely be back again as overall my experiences are always positive at Kin!

Great food and speedy service. We pre-ordered the day before as we were a large party and food was ready within 20 mins of us arriving.

I have been to KIN twice and the experience was consistent - menu is great, food is really tasty and presented well but the service is doesn’t match the vibe of the restaurant. The staff were persistent at trying to take our order before we’d been sat for long enough to greet each other and look at the menu. This happened both times I’ve been - we ask for a few more minutes to decide and the staff are back in 2 minutes flat to ask again instead of noticing we’re mid conversation and not yet looked at the menu. It just gives an odd rushed vibe (the restaurant was not busy if that helps) and once we’d ordered there was very little service and had to wave someone down for the bill. It’s not the worst service but the restaurant is nice enough to warrant better.

My favourite Thai in London, they really support food intolerances and the pad thai is amazing

Awesome food, this place is underrated, very good, definitely recommend

Noodles was great. Singapore Ludo was great however the salad bowl was a little bit stale. It was not fresh to be honest. I had to throw it away.

Amazing service and 10/10 food, what more do you need!

Food was ok. Service not that ok. The tables are too close to each other which ruins the experience ( for the money you are paying ). A plate of chicken pad Thai is £14,5 + 12.5% service charge.

Delcious, spicy, fresh food and warm and friendly service. Great value too.

This place is singlehandedly responsible for ruining khao soi and pad kee mao for me elsewhere because they set the bar too high. I used to work nearby and go here every week to get a tempeh pad kee mao or khao soi, occasionally the vegetable dumplings and egg fried rice or chicken pad krapow for variation, but it's the aforementioned two dishes that are the stars here.

I had the Pad Kee Mao drunken noodles and asked for extra spicy. KIN delivered as promised and I was a happy customer. They were delicious.

The food was really tasty, and very well priced for being in London compared to other Thai’s I’ve been to in the area. Gabriel gave great service and we had a lovely meal. Would request asking to sit near the window, in the summer the doors are open and it’s lovely.

Heerlijk! Supervriendelijk! Ik raad dit restaurant ten zeerste aan!

I very cute local gem, with delicious food, big portions that will definitely fill you up and amazing, fast and friendly service. I would definitely recommend!!!

Disappointing food and menu. Red Thai curry felt as though it had been watered down and bland. Asked for less tofu and more broccoli and veg. It was full of tofu and three/four florets of broccoli and very little other veg. Pad Thai was again bland and the flat noodles were quite gloopy. We couldn’t order the Thai Green curry as a veg option - big fail! Spring rolls (3 in a portion) were ok. Thick rolls but packed with the usual veg stuffing. PS thank you to KIN for replying. I would hope there is another way to make a dish mild rather than diluting flavour and texture. I also hope you can add a vegetarian Thai green curry - a go to dish for vegetarians! :)

Ordered as delivery so can only rate the food. The calamari was great, and the spring roll good. The curry and pad thai were nice in the underlying taste but it was way too spicy. Now, I’m not a master of spice but I can handle and appreciate some but this honestly just tasted like a scotch bonnet in my mouth, overtaking any flavour. I don’t think I’ll order from here again.

Excellent Thai food at reasonable prices! Not tried papaya salad like that since i was in Thailand. Service is great and the staff are very friendly. We'll be back for sure!

Amazing food and really reasonable price

The pad Thai was completely flavourless so def don’t order that. The calamari was excellent so do order that…

Great food, fun atmosphere, really great / nice people!

### Review of Kin Kin offers a delightful dining experience with its blend of modern elegance and warm ambiance. The minimalist décor and soft lighting create a perfect setting for any occasion. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, ensuring every guest feels welcome and well-cared for. The menu is a flavorful journey, featuring fresh, high-quality ingredients. Highlights include the seared scallops and slow-cooked short ribs. Vegetarian and vegan options are equally impressive. Kin’s beverage selection is excellent, with a well-curated range of wines, craft beers, and inventive cocktails. Though premium-priced, the generous portions and attention to detail make it worth every penny. Kin stands out with its superb food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

I had eaten here years ago and was curious to see what it was like after all that time. I’m delighted to find that the food is as good as I remember and the service was excellent. The menu is accessed via a QR code (I miss the old physical menus!) but the staff take your orders. You can tailor the spice levels for dishes and they also offer an excellent 2 cocktails (the margaritas are properly salted and tasty) for only £15. We ordered the chicken wings and slat and pepper calamari for starters. The chicken wings were slightly too thickly coated but the meat was juicy and served with sweet chilli sauce. The calamari was springy and seasoned nicely. Our mains consisted of prawn pad thai and prawn Pad Kee Mao. We asked for extra spicy and the chef delivered, to the point that my friend was unable to finish his pad kee mao so beware if you’re testing your taste buds. There was a good amount of prawns in each dish and I would probably just stick to the recommended spice level next time. We had no room for dessert which is a shame as I wanted to try the banana fritters so will make sure to leave room next time. The team working at the restaurant were engaging, checked in on us without being overbearing and were in such good spirits despite the wet weather outside. A dining experience can be affected by the restaurant team and I’m glad to see Kin get this point right.

Small but cosy restaurant with really good food. I ordered the Salt & Pepper tofu bites and Nasi Goreng (extra hot), and it did not disappoint. Staff were very attentive. Chicken is also halal here.

If you want authentic Thai food this is the best place I have been. Having shared a house with some who spent years in Thailand learning to cook you get spoiled; but this place is great.

10/10 Really loved the food here, generous portions and also great value for money Can tell the food has been lovingly cooked. Ordered the khao soi and would definitely recommend 👌 lovely flavours with lots of prawns Service was also good, waitress was lovely and friendly Atmosphere was good, quiet but busy so great place for a date or meet with friends. Raspberry cocktail was delicious as well. Will be coming back!

Delicious food! Very well balanced in flavour!

Absolutely incredible food. Friendly staff and fast service. A little loud at lunch time during the week, but otherwise absolutely no complains. I will definitely visit again!

Exquisite flavours, fresh ingredients and bank for your buck. Please try the Green Curry and Pad Thai. For me the best ones in all London. 10/10

Best pad tai in London :) Amazing food since many years. Always coming back there.

Best pad tai in London :) Amazing food since many years. Always coming back there.

Consistently really high-quality food. Eaten here at least 4 times for a variety of occasions and I've never been disappointed. Very fair price for the level of quality and service. Great veggie options too.

Great tasting food. Very fast service which was excellent for a quick bite to eat.

Absolutely delicious. Lovely light, crispy batter on the wings, divine dumplings, delicious noodles and perfect pad thai. Order the food, already!

Quite disappointing. We got the table for 90 minutes and they made sure we wouldn't stay a minute longer. The food is about ok. The service is poor. I'm not planning to go back.

Nice service and very good food, nice cognac

A very enjoyable meal. Quick service and a good atmoaphere

I booked a table when I arrived there I was given a small table at the entrance bumping constantly into bags of delivery drivers. The staff was very unaccommodating so I had to leave. They clearly want to maximise their revenue so many food delivery is better than the in-restaurant experience

What truly sets KIN apart, however, is its commitment to excellence in both food and service. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or a casual diner looking for a memorable meal, KIN delivers on all fronts with its innovative cuisine and warm hospitality.

Have the Pad ki Mo everytime and it’s amazing Great food, make sure you reserve as getting a table as walk in is not easy Great food

Excellent experience at Kin - food was great and service was brilliant. Short delay in being seated whilst the previous table left, but other than that it was great throughout.

Average food, extremely expensive.

Great food and service. Lovely relaxed environment.

We entered early evening and we were one of the first tables to be seated. There were lots of people being declined a reservation due to be fully booked and throughout our visit. So a popular venue. The service was a bit lackadaisical. It’s felt like they weren’t really bothered about our table. This was all except our last server who was fantastic. The starters were delicious. Our favourite was the chilli oil chicken dumplings, the salt and pepper calamari and the crispy chicken wings. The papaya salad was ok, but I think the marinade needs to soak in more before serving. Unfortunately the belly pork rice was a let down, the rice was dry and felt like it was reheated in the microwave. The pork dish itself lacked flavour. The restaurant has a good vibe and is a good setting for the style of food on the menu.

Delicious dinner to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The food arrived quickly (arguably too quickly as our starters & mains arrived together, and our pre-dinner drinks hadn’t come at that point), but was delicious and really good. The salt & pepper squid is stupidly tasty - very v v recommended!! This is the second time I’ve been there and I’ll definitely be back again.

The food wasn't delivered! I even rang the restaurant and they said a driver wasn't ever assigned so can the food be delivered?

This is my boyfriend’s favourite restaurant and I loved it as well! I later brought my family here when they came to visit me from Norway and they complained that they were served “too much” food. Take that as you will, but I absolutely love coming here to eat!

Had the green curry and it was perfect 👌

Highly recommended. Excellent food, lovely staff. Will visit again

Delicious meal at Kin. And the staff were incredibly welcoming and so polite throughout. Really great experience overall, highly recommend!

Lovely Pad Kee Mao (no kidding on the chillis!) and Silver Needle Tea. Had the Tofu, Smacked Cucumber & Radish Salad in the summer, loved that, too.

Had a lovely jerk chicken burger with the team.

Great healthy menu and fresh ingredients. A bit cramped but we were a big group and they were very accommodating!

Great- will go again for sure. The food was very tasty and the service was attentive.The prices very reasonable.

Great Thai and Asian street food. Lovely café style, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Delicious dishes, fragrant and aromatic. Super service and good beer and wine selection. Fair prices too. We were all very full. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great place, delicious food, served in a nice café style environment . Lovely staff, and efficient service, KIN has a bustling trade and booking seems to be preferable as gets busy. The Thai (Asian) inspired street food is so tasty and fresh, with lots to choose from and variations of lots of dishes. Good selection of local beers too. Prices are very fair with decent portion sizes. Would recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

Never fails to impress. Super quick service. Great food

Nice. Food is ok. The starters are better than the mains. Nice atmosphere and staff were friendly

Delicious fresh food, great service and lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Will be back!

Really accommodating with last minute change on guests. Food and service excellent! Will return.

Warm atmosphere, very friendly staff and super delicious food! Portion sizes are incredible too. Had to order some extras to takeway it was so good!! Will be back for sure.

Great experience. Proper authentic Thai food

Great local place , with tasty food and proper portions. Highly recommend the curry noodles with prawns and the spring rolls.

Was there with my daughter on 7th November 2023. Food was good and service was spot on. Will definitely go back

The place is a good option if you work nearby and want to have a quick group lunch. There is good option for those who enjoy Thai food. Now if you come here expecting the best Thai cuisine then you could be underwhelmed. I had the fried chicken with rice and it was fine. The chicken felt a bit greasy and can't be enjoyed on its own. It had to be paired with the rice and the accompanying clear soup to cut the greasiness. Also I had the spring rolls and wings too and they were nice but nothing mind-blowing. Like I said so go here for a quick informal lunch and make sure to book ahead as it can get crowded during the lunch rush.

Really good food delivered on time and hot! Unusual for food delivery in London. Keep it up Kin you are exceptional. I'll be visiting the restaurant again soon I hope.

This is a takeaway review of Kin delivered via Just Eat. I've pretty much given in with takeaway / delivery in London now. Everytime I order there is a delay, rubbish food or something else wrong. Kin is the exception. The food is always great, usually arrives hot and on time. Please don't change anything!

Friendly welcome, great service, good food! Looking forward to coming back, especially for the Chicken Chilli Oil Wontons

Tasty food, good service, dishes a decent size, reasonably priced - would visit again.

Really delicious, great value and would really recommend

It's probably a 3.5.. Large generous portions...however, I'd rather eat more Thai style smaller portions/plates and less expensive so one can order more dishes. As we did not get to try all the menu my comments are only on the food we tried and I wish we had ordered more spicy dishes - as there was no way enough spice! Salt & pepper squid and chicken wontons were really tasty. The Som Tam was weak and not very Som Tam at all in either spice or the balance of the dressing. So if you order it request it to be made "Thai Style". The pad Thai was tasty but this is not a spicy dish anyway. Nasi Gorang .. again isn't really a spicy dish in Indonesia, however, described as one and it wasn't and a bit dry. Then finally the spicy vegan red curry (it says there is a milder option avail) was again lacking in spice. Overall tasty, warming, cosy food, but not very authentic Thai. I will go back again and try the Pad Krapao as that is usually a good benchmark. Really nice wine and service. Table pretty small and overall really loud so difficult to chat. Also, really annoying no menu printed or on a board. I find menus on phones so "covid years" and quite annoying. The last thing people want is to be looking at their phone when out to dinner, it's so unsociable. And it's difficult to choose, scrolling etc. If you are using the green excuse for not printing, then write things up on a board! We would have ordered more food and spent more money had we all been able to look at the menu!

Decent food, portions, and prices. I think the service was a little bit slow. However, very polite ! The atmosphere was nice but extremely loud. I would probably recommend it for a takeaway.

Food on spot! Really tasty and good food that arrived quickly! The service was okay I would say average for London. They did keep our table longer because we were late thought so that was nice! I would go back to try more things! The atmosphere was a bit overwhelming, no music and it was really loud

Fabtastic local restaurant. Fresh tasty food and great service.

Tried one of the weekly specials - great!

Amazing food, lovely service! Food arrived very quickly and was all delicious. Salt & pepper tofu starter was really good.

Nasi Goreng was amazing, will definitely go again :D

big fan of Kin - good value for money and the food is delicious

We went on a Friday night, the place was buzzy but the service was impeccable. We ordered the special and the Katsu curry. The Katsu was honestly the best I’ve ever had. If they bottled the sauce I would buy it! The special was huge and looked great but, although they did say the sauce was hot on the menu, my partner found it so hot it was inedible for him. Overall the experience was excellent, quick, well priced and enjoyable.
