Kin & Folk in Penticton

Great food - reasonable prices, would come again

Our family has been here on a few occasions. Between the specialty drinks, amazing food, and wonderful atmosphere, Kin & Folk is a feast for the senses.

Mikayla is an absolute gem of a server, food is always incredible and her service is impeccable.

The restaurant is fairly small and our large party ended up at seperate tables, but service was good. Dishes were small and the flavours were unique (some I enjoyed, some not so much). The fried rice however was OUTSTANDING! The prices were pretty high for the size of the dishes and would be a good date destination for adventurous eaters.

First visit and loved it! Diverse food and beverage ingredients made for a delicious meal. Service was super. Well done K&F team!!

Greeted and seated promptly. Waitress suggested a few options. Landed on the Katsu burger with fries...first bite was amazing.

Delicious food, very impressive

Kin and Folk is one of pentictons best restaurants. The cocktails are always on point, the food always hits the spot, and the service and atmosphere are respectable. Late night happy hour here is also a good time. Try the fried rice or the chicken katsu sandwich.

We visited Kin & Folk for dinner and drinks and were incredibly wowed by the experience! The service from all the staff was outstanding, they were friendly, excited to see us and share the stories of the owners the food and the drinks. Very knowledgeable and great timing at the table. They explained the menu and the share plates and all the food was delicious! The ambience was great throughout the night, they moved us to another smaller table as there was a large group that was a bit noisy but they were very accommodating to move us. The music was perfect for volume and didn t overpower the conversations. They nailed it! I work in tourism and not only will I be back regularly but I will be recommending K&F to everyone! Can t wait to return!

Great service, great food, nice venue what else is there?

We were greeted quickly by the cheerful, young staff. The decor is simple and fresh. We started with the Orange and Sage Soda, Espresso Tea Martini and for the non-alcohol Raspberry Rhubarb Fizz. All of the drinks were flavorful, made super pretty and went down easily. There are many gluten free options. Im Celiac and was surprised that I could enjoy so many of the dishes. We demolished the following dishes, for real we were almost licking the plates. Scallops and Prawns, its like a creamy ceviche. Got chills with this one. Sweet and Sticky Ribs, yes my friends these are gluten free and finger licking good. Ginger Scallion Crab pasta with perfectly cooked gluten free pasta, this was my fav, big chunks of crabs, mmmm Pea Mochi on a bed of beet puree, they are just the right amount of chewy, smooth delightful softness. The music helped the vibe with soul and r&b creating a lovely chill afternoon. We enjoyed every dish and our servers were helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great afternoon

Its refreshing to see a spot in penticton that pays attention to detail with their food and drink menu. The flavors are intense, the vibe is perfect. If youre visiting penticton and looking for that place to go, look no further. This place is it!

I honestly hate to give anybody a five-star review. Is extremely rare for anyone to deserve a five-star review these days. I had never been to this restaurant before but I guarantee Ill be back. My wife and I stopped in for dinner. From the time we were greeted at the door until the time we left the experience was exceptional. Service was on par with the best anywhere. Food was simply amazing and the presentation was wonderful.

Amazing service, good atmosphere. Must try Jerk Chicken! Food

3 of us were there for lunch and it was fantastic from start to finish! Welcoming service, fresh, clean decor and atmosphere. Excellent presentations and delicious, creative food and flavours. Highly recommend!!! Food : 5/5 |

my wife and I eat out two or three days a week. our last visit to kin n folk was at best ok. we went out tonite. sticky ribs..scallops and prawns.. unbelievable delicious. we travel often and eat mostly 4 or 5 star. Kin n folk definitely hit the mark for cuisine skill and delivery. the restaurant was very busy so the service was marginal but the drinks...wine selection ( terravista ) were very tasty and well presented. 5 BIG STARS...Go..enjoy a culinary refreshment over the usual fare available in Penticton. big shout out for Kin n Folk.

Such an amazing place to eat. Food is thoughtful, creative and delicious. Always a fabulous choice.

The flavours here are next level the atmosphere is pleasing and the staff is always friendly. Everything I ve tried has been delicious- there s definitely no wrong choices when it comes to the food and drinks!

Really great tasting food and fast service. Portions were a touch on the small side, but it just meant we got to order even more dishes off their creative menu. The karaage chicken burger was our favorite.

First time going to Kin & Folk and it was a great experience ! Staff was excellent and friendly and the food was great! Already planning what dishes to try on our next visit!

Great spot and our group really enjoyed the cocktail list and food menu. However, the service was incredibly slow - dishes were served more than 30 minutes apart and our final dishes took over 2 hours arrive. Hope this improves!

Excellent fusion restaurant. With an emphasis on shared plates. Lovely and very sophisticated cocktails. We had lunch but it would also be great for dinner.

Outstanding !!!!

Another great meal with great service!

Beautiful restaurant, great service and the food is PHENOMENAL. We had the: - Pea Mochi - Ginger Scallion Crab - Bao Combo (one of each) with the garlic fries - Burrata The flavours were all incredible. Would absolutely come here again anytime I m in town. Vegetarian options: My partner is vegetarian and had a wide variety of options to choose from. They accommodate a lot of dietary restrictions.

If you dont like it here, Im sorry to tell you this, but youre the problem.

Happy hour + patio = :)

Our first time at Kin and Folk dining inside. I think that was one of the best meals out that I ve had in many years. Four of us shared the tapa-style dishes. Each one had such delicious flavours in each bite. They also have a lovely sitting area outside which we will try at our next visit.

Probably my second time reviewing but I am a huge fan. Love seeing what you re up to on socials and when I come from Vancouver I have to go. The crab noodle dish is stuff of dreams. Tonight I had Matthew as my bartender and he made my night!! So knowledgeable and engaging. The waitstaff (Hailey I think) also was super kind and the hostess. You guys kill every aspect. Atmosphere, cocktail menu, service and food. Impressive.

Place is really nice and service is excellent but food is just ok for the price and portions are really small

Fantastic happy hour! Try the Crispy Mushrooms. They were more delicious and elegant than expected. Great non-alcoholic options that arent too sweet, and you cant beat the ambiance. See you next time Im in town!

Best asian fusion ever

What a great new restaurant for penticton. Great vibe..excellant food..amazing service. Cant say enough!! .

Fantastic, as always.

Food was amazing and a nice surprise find in Penticton. Great experience and modern twist to Asian dishes, highly recommend.

We got food to go but had a few cocktails at the bar, the service was amazing, the two guys behind the bar were so friendly and it was fun watching them making these beautiful creative drinks. Food was amazing, the Tofu & Mushrooms was the best! And all still beautifully plated in take out containers.

Was a nice find, but glad I went late to the patio since the music and the vibe were what I enjoyed the most. Great place for a romantic date.

It was our first time at Kin and Folk. We sat outside and it is a beautiful setting, very romantic. Our server was amazing and explained how everything worked. We loved the sharing concept that they have. We order Bao Buns, Sticky Ribs, Prawn and Scallops and the Ginger Burger. Everything was amazing! We will be back again and again!! Telling everyone I know about Kin and Folk.

This was a delightful surprise as we are not from Penticton and were looking for something with fresh and unique flavors. We were so impressed with the decor of the restaurant and the beautiful patio space. All of the staff were very friendly. We agreed that both of our dishes (roasted & toasted and the pea mochi) were equally flavorful to the food we had at winery restaurants earlier that day, and for a more reasonable price. However the pea mochi was a somewhat small portion, not a substantial meal. Id love to see what they have on the menu the next time Im in Penticton. Well done K+F, youre adding creativity and lively energy to the downtown scene :)

Outstanding Katsu burger with an ice cold farm folk lager! The burger is amazing, another level. Best place in Penticton, if you want to treat yourself!

This is by far the best dining experience we have had in the South Okanagan. Prawn & Scallop appetizer sooooo good! All the appetizers we had were superb. The service was exceptional, definitely be back. Thanks for the great evening out.

We had such a wonderful time at Kin & Folk. The Okanagan/Chinese fusion made for great food. The ribs were so good we had two orders and asked for the sauce recipe!!! The cocktail list is above and beyond and the wine list captures the south Okanagan perfectly. We will definitely recommend and return. Thanks for a great evening.

Not what we expected at all going from the name, an amazing tapas style restaurant. We had the family bread, cucumber salad, and ribs. All were amazing and perfectly portioned

This place is awesome food was great service top notch. Tiramisu was to die for.

Enjoyed it all!

I have had dinner at Kin and folk a couple of times now, and the food is amazing

Not FRESH, looks really sad, the servings are also sad, they literally forgot about my request. The prices are too high for THAT kind of food. Do not recommend.

Delicious food & great atmosphere!

The service and ambience were great. The food itself was pretty lackluster. The dishes were inoffensive but lacking any nuance, complexity, or depth. Overall it tasted like someone was trying to mimic Asian fusion flavors without having had any real Asian food. Can t say I would recommend this place for the food. Tiramisu was decent though.

Amazing food and service! Very creative menu and great atmosphere.

I ordered the happy hour fried rice and the pea mochi. Both were GF and super delish!

We were visiting from Vancouver. Food was very delicious. I think we gained good 5kg here, haha. Ordered 4 items from happy hour menu and then we shared Cod with curry, delicious. Nice presentation too. Our food coma was finished by big tiramisu. Well done team

Great experience. Really enjoyed the atmosphere on the patio, the music was good and I really liked the lights in the tree. The food was amazing, everything we ordered tasted delicious. We shared the jerk chicken karaage, sweet and sticky ribs and the ginger beef burger with citrus salad as the side, which paired well together. We ended with the Miso Tiramisu which was amazing. When we were deciding on a place, I saw a negative review about the Tiramisu and Im glad we gave it a try because it was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Oh and the non alcoholic drinks were fantastic, I had the lemonade with mint.

High-end food and drinks without being overpriced. The patio is stunning and covered with a beautiful tree. (Shady with a breeze coming through.) I messed up our gift card and the staff was accommodating and extremely professional. I would highly recommend for upscale dining with a casual ambience, all within walking distance to everything.

Had dinner here on a Sunday night. Amazing food and very friendly service. Favourite items were the bao buns and grilled cabbage. We also had the ling cod which was delicious but maybe a hair too salty. Will come back for sure

Happy hour treats were great, crispy mushrooms and Singapore wontons really stood out. Fun, high quality cocktails and a nice selection of non alcoholic beverages.

Love this place. Great menu. They also have a childrens menu.

I would say that the idea and concept are great. Food was good but maybe a bit confusing with the flavours. Also we order fries so my little one could eat and let us eat but that never came they cover for it but it kind of ruined the experience, specially after a long trip.

Great menu; Food was absolutely amazing

I seriously go here all the time as it s only a few blocks away from my home! I love the food, I love their happy hour too. The atmosphere is great the staff are always kind and the food is delicious! I would say during happy hour is the best time to go solo when it comes to $ wise if you re looking to try a variety of food! But during regular business hours the concept of sharing the larger portions with friends and family is wonderful as well and the cost is very relevant to the quality and quantity of food you re receiving! And I will forever rave about the peachy marg to my friends and family

As soon as I walked in I noticed how warm and bright it was. It comes from the sky light above the bar (which looks great) and the white walls with the nice ambient lanterns hanging above. The wife and I ordered appetizers and they were mouth wateringly delicious lol. Mushrooms and tofu and the prawns and scallops (drool worthy).... we also ordered cucumbers and things for our daughter which she didnt want lol but we enjoyed throughly. Whipped tofu bed with a simple cut up cucumbers. We will definitely come here everytime we are in penticton. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time checking out Kin & Folk. The food is absolutely delicious and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely cant wait to come back again/

Amazing food and great service! Some of the best food we ve had in a while!

While the food was very good, we were fortunate to get it. We had to remind staff about our orders and drinks when they didnt show up for an hour, had to reorder a couple drinks because they were made incorrectly (eg. a sour without syrup), and a third of the menu was not available. We discovered this progressively throughout the night as it seems our server themselves didnt know what was available or not. There was more like AC being unable to keep up but you get the idea. With visiting friends was a bad experience.

Absolutely ! Went today for the first time and had a wonderful experience with the food and service. Thank you Kin & Folk for knocking it out of the park. Everthing was delicious. We will return.

Great food! Morgan was the best!

Best restaurant in Penticton! Highly recommend checking it out. The food is always top quality, staff are lovely, and the atmosphere is great. The patio is wonderful. Worth checking out! Vegetarian options: Tofu mushrooms are delicious. Dietary restrictions: Chef is wonderful and there are option on the menu for everyone. Parking: On the street out front or a dedicated parking lot out back. Kid-friendliness: Lovely family run restaurant! We ve always felt welcome whenever we bring our kids.

The establishment is kept very clean and is very updated making it very inviting. The food was excellent probably the best chicken burger I have ever had and a great selection of drinks to try. Shoutout to the bartender Nick there for the great service making my experience memorable and the great conversation!

What a wonderful experience we had yesterday at this fine establishment! Our first visit but we will be back! It wasnt just the wonderful food, it was also the presentation. Our server, forgive me but his name escapes me, from Australia, was delightful, guided us through the menu, and was very attentive. Thank you for the fun evening!

Great food, an experience for sure. Everything tasted wonderful (the carrot dish was to die for) It is a unique dinning experience. Less like meals, more like multiple applies that you share until your satisfied. Food

Food, service, cocktails all top notch. One of my fav spots in Penticton.

Great food, good service, tasty cocktails. Even the raspberry fizz mocktail was delicious. We would definitely go back!

Wow love that this place exists in Penticton. The dishes were elevated, the cocktails were delicious and the service was excellent. Will be back!

Pricey, but delish food.

I had an amazing smashed burger and my wife loved her rice bowl. Their signature beer from Abandoned Rail was tasty, and the cocktails are unique and delicious! Service was exemplary, and the outdoor patio is beautiful.

We just had an amazing lunch today. The best experience I ve had for a long time in Penticton. The food was amazing , not to mention the wine; and of course the service was top notch. I loved everything about it, including the ambience and decor. Super bright and cleverly designed. Thank you Megan and staff for a most enjoyable experience. We will be back very soon! Cheers! To clarify, this was always meant to be a five star review. My sincere apologies for the confusion. I m not sure what happened with the stars. I love this place and look forward to our dinner there this evening.

I will admit to being biased because my son works in the kitchen, but we love Kin & Folk. Tonight we had some old favourites and tried a few new summer menu items. The food, drinks, atmosphere and service are always amazing. The couple next to us were raving about their dishes and I asked if it was their first time...nope, this is their favourite Penticton restaurant! Check it out, you wont be disappointed.

Wow! This is THE best restaurant in Penticton..hands down. The food was so flavorful and perfectly portioned. The service was outstanding, and the cocktails were first class. Best restaurant experience in ages! Photo is of the Ling cod.

Nice enthusiastic server. From there felt like everyone was trying too hard to have clever ideas and not hard enough on execution. Balance on cocktails was off. Noodle and Crab dish came out lukewarm and stuck together. Though that must have been expected as it was served w tongs. The katsu bao were good though. Miso tiramisu had dry white cake shaped lady fingers and while it was good almost no music flavor.

Fantastic!!! Elma-level good! Phenomenal dishes - ginger beef double double was the best! And best tiramisu I have ever had. Plus such a great happy hour!

As a guy who knows what top level is from an Executive Chef, this restaurant has amazing service, a great atmosphere and superb food. Enjoy super tasty food without feeling bloated and full when you leave. If you want a great dining experience then this restaurant is the place in Penticton. 10 out of 10. Not inexpensive but you get what you pay for and its totally worth it.

Excellent food and atmosphere

Everything that we tried was very good, drinks, sharables and mains

It is always a 10/10 experience at Kin & Folk. From the delicious food (personal favourites include the prawns and scallops, ribs, angnolotti, beef and broccoli ok I love the whole menu). Great local wine selections. Perfect ambiance - we feel welcome with our kids but would also choose it every time for date night without them. Kid-friendliness: They were wonderful with our kids and had delicious brown butter noodles and chicken finger options that even the parents loved.

This place is amazing. Costumer service is great. And special thank you for coffee, it s delicious !!!

Best fried rice in Canada

Everything was great. Will be returning to have more cabbage Drinks, food, vibe: all so good!

To the staff and owners, all i can say is WOW. Dinner tonight was Nothing short of Amazingly Fabulously Fantastic. The service was Epic, Professional, and set a new level for Customer Service. THANKS JESS. The Food, WOWZERRRRR from the Presentation to the Flavors to the Quality, .... Honestly, very unique in an Amazing way, exquisite, every bite had us coming back for more. Devin and his Culinary Team,... EXCEPTIONAL, Every Dish, Every Bite, Great concept. Great night. Great staff. THANK YOU SO MUCH, We will be back. Tim & Cathy House.

Kin & Folk has quickly become one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Penticton! This was our second visit, and the food and drinks keep getting better. The cocktail creations are simply phenomenal. We really enjoyed the Elderflower Mint and Luck of the Draw and I cant get enough of the Sneaky Peat. I would come for the drinks alone - Cheers Megan and Matt. The food lives up to the hype as well. We shared several plates, but the Jerk Chicken Karaage, Roasted Satay Carrots, Sesame Tofu Cabbage, and Five Spice Agnolotti are all must-tries. Clearly, the chef has serious talent for creating amazing dishes! And a big thank you to Ashley for the fantastic service. She was patient and attentive throughout our visit, even as we lingered with drinks and food for several hours. Kin & Folk has my vote for the best dining experience in Penticton. We re already planning our next visit!

I never give five stars. In the two weeks I was in Penticton I went back to this place three times. Read between the lines. Food and service exemplary. Shame on you if you miss it.

Food was absolutely fantastic! Excellent service. Cocktails amazing and dessert was the perfect finish..soooo good.

Incredible food and service!

Great spot, sat at bar! Food dynamite, Megan, the barkeep was cheeky and fun cool place!

Sensational ! Friendly and welcoming service with food that is prepared and presented with perfection. The flavours here are so delicious and well balanced. Congratulations!

Absolutely incredible food. Fantastic service I love the menu! Food

Exceptional

My wife and I shared a really nice meal, Start with the bread (a must). The scallops with pine oil and citrus ponzu was delicious, but the beef and broccoli short rib was absolutely killer. My wife enjoyed the Gocujang bucatini and said it had lots of flavour without overpowering spice. Will definitely return for a nice meal again, and look forward to trying the patio as well. Parking: Street parking right out front.

Went in for the tasting menu and everything tasted fantastic! The portions were a bit small for two people but that is kind of expected. Will definitely be back

Excellent. Service was excellent, food was amazing, excellent preset menu for the evening. Will be going back sure.

So yummy and Meagan made it all a great experience!

First time weve been in, service was great, food was excellent. Cant wait to go back

The food is tasty but the menu is confusing; a lot of vocabulary pulled from different cuisines to describe each dish. Yes, it is fusion cuisine but even those familiar with the cultures and ingredients might have a hard time deciphering the menu. Dishes promise flavors from China, Japan, Italy, and France. The food is fun but do not expect anything authentic. Portions are small despite the prices. We found the carbonara egregiously overpriced for a dish made with something resembling Mr. Noodles despite promising ramen. Service was attentive and prompt. Atmosphere is trendy although as commented by others it can be quite loud. Conversations can be strained with the poor acoustics and the more-than-background music being played.

First visit being from out of town. Awesome food, even better service. Unique and imaginative menu that was as advertised :) Great spot, will visit again for sure!!

update: we were in for dinner; the food was good (best the sticky ribs and cucumbers) one missing, because the Ribeye steak was cut already and lukewarm and no steak knife. We shared our four dishes and enjoyed it.

Taste good but too expensive compared to the portion. Service was excellent!

Just went there for few drinks. Friendly atmosphere and service. Menu looks great. Will try one day.

Outstanding food and presentation! The atmosphere was fun and lively, love the open modern space. The food was really amazing with wonderful favours. We kept ordering more bread as it really is that good and perfect to soak up leftovers with! Don t forget to order the tiramisu for dessert that was out of this world delicious! On top of this the drinks were so well crafted that we will be back again soon! The only negative was a few dishes were not hot when they got to our table but still delicious and would not deter us from returning. Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians

Our first time here and we were very impressed. Innovative, well presented, fresh and tasty food. Service was excellent. Will definitely go back for more!!

We have eaten at Kin and Folk three times now and each time we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The service has been friendly and the food is excellent. We have enjoyed everything we have ordered and highly recommend the Jerk Chicken Karaage. We will definitely be going back

These guys are fairly new so we almost missed them on google maps. So happy we found them!! The best meal we had in Penticton. I wish we were more hungry because the food was fantastic. Really good cocktails. And friendly service. The cucumbers were very good. The chicken was amazing, I couldnt believe how big the serving was for the price.

Loved all our food and drinks. Great service and atmosphere. Definitely one of the top places to eat in town.

Fabulous spot, food is tells a story, drinks are so unique creative and delish. Highly recommend the scallop & prawn and the Plead the Fifth.

Amazing food and the speciality cocktails were delicious. Great service and the recommendations were perfect.

Outstanding. I sat at the bar and had three dishes. Everything was amazing. Great service, atmosphere and drinks.

I was in for my second visit tonight and I have to say the sticky ribs might just be my new food addiction. Chelsea my server was friendly and recommended the Plead the Fifth cocktail for me. Whoosh, that was a winner. I had all three of the Dim Sum from the Happy Hour menu and I cant say which one I may have liked best, they are all unique and delicious. All in all this is a fantastic addition to the food and cocktail scene in Penticton.

Went out for a Mamas night, 10 of us. We had a wonderful night socializing. Food was excellent, 5 of us shared multiple plates and it was all so so flavourful. Favorite dishes were Scallops & Prawns, Shiso Burrata and Sweet & Sticky ribs. Atmosphere was great, so nice for a family night out, to a date night and even a group of ladies. Service was good, they had helpful suggestions of what to order.

10/10 for amazing food and service. I was totally blown away! This is a must visit for the food adventurer . Prepare yourself for an experience ! Food : 5/5

Make sure you visit Kin and folk if you are in the Okanagan- it s worth the ride from anywhere in the valley. This was our best dining experience of the year! K&F s philosophy represents all of the beauty that the Okanagan region has to offer. Service is Impeccable, personalized and prompt, the menu is unique, satisfying and delicious. Thank you for such a beautiful experience - Mack, Jamal, Abba and your wonderful team!!

The food here was absolutely amazing!!! Portions were a good size and easy to share! Nadine and Lisa made our experience awesome !! Highly recommend!!!!!

Cocktails are the best in town, food is first class. A great and welcomed addition to the city of Penticton!

First restaurant I ve ever been to that give you a new napkin because the first one was greasy without asking

Absolutely delicious. I can t believe this restaurant is so new! The service was great, atmosphere as well the music wasn t too loud or too quiet. I recommend the sticky ribs, soy chicken, and five spice agnolotti. So good! Also recommend going during happy hour!

The delicious and unique flavors far exceed the price point. Highly recommend the sweet and sticky ribs and the tiramisu!

Everything from start to finish was excellent. Every guest at my table agreed this was a memorable experience. Food, service, atmosphere, cocktails.. all of it. We had a larger group and shared everything we ordered. We order majority of things on the menu, and an array of cocktails. Some of our favorites were: prawn and scallops (ceviche), not just cucumbers, fried rice, sticky ribs. And for cocktails the mezcal marg (can t remember the name) was my personal favorite. Oh, also the miso tiramisu bomb. Our server Megan was attentive, personable, funny, and patient. Bartender Pat killed it on the bar solo getting hit with so many different cocktails. Thank you for an amazing experience. We will definitely be back.

Honestly, the food here is to die for. Penticton REALLY needed something like this. I highly recommend eating here.

Food was really good , and I have never seen any restaurant that clean, bathrooms were so clean. I suggest yuh to go there. They are amazing.

This is one of the nicest courtyard patios in town. The atmosphere is just stunning. The service staff were attentive and friendly, and the food!!! The FOOD! Incredible! Every bite delectable. The flavors were complex without being overwhelming. This place is a must visit and I can not recommend it enough. Come in and take your time, try a smattering of everything, it will not disappoint. The only place they missed the mark was not naming the Miso Tiramisu just simply Tiramiso, total missed opportunity. That being said it was an amazing experience and you must come here.

I visited this restaurant for the first time today and it was amazing. Everything was 10/10. Highly recommend!

Outstanding in every aspect!! Highly recommend and it s worth the drive from anywhere. Our second visit in a week and it s sooo good!! Mack has nailed every detail and is amazing! Vegetarian options: They re delicious and multiple options are available!

We came here during the Elvis festival last week and made a special trip back to try more of the menu!! Everything is fresh, delicious, wicked combinations of excellence, superior service and ambiance. Everything is perfect and you have to come see for yourself! Great job Mack! We ll be back soon from West Kelowna Vegetarian options: Great choices and the flavours are fantastic!!

Fantastic new spot in town. Great place to share food with the family. Ate our way through the menu and love everyone one. Service was also fantastic and decor is beautiful/simple. Great patio. Can t wait to come back for happy hour!!

Absolutely incredible experience. From start to finish we were blown away! We were looking for a last min reservation in Osoyoos and remembered Kin & Folk in Penticton had just opened, so decided to make the drive up. Let me tell you, that drive was BEYOND worth it. From the food (the cucumbers, jerk chicken, agnolotti, shrimp, and tirimisu were to die for!!! Truly did not have one bad dish), to the attentive and friendly service, to the awesome drinks & beautiful atmosphere, I can honestly say this is one of the best meals I ve had in a long time. And in Penticton no less! We dine out in Vancouver often & this blew away so many of those other experiences. Kin & Folk is a much needed dining destination in Penticton - we re already planning our return in August. Thank you again Kin & Folk

Great food and nice beers on tap. Bao portions are small. Agnolotti is a must Food

Absolutely fantastic, all the dishes were extremely well balanced in portion and flavour. I love the family style so everyone can try a little bit of everything. Really reasonable prices and friendly staff, I had an amazing time.

I took a picture of our first item as the burrata was so beautiful and only have a picture of our last the tiramisu because we were so busy enjoying the food I honestly forgot! Everything was so flavourful the jerk chicken and the bao buns , and the crab dish wow! I could eat everything 10x over. And the drinks! The strawberry rhubarb bubbles and the peachy marg were sooo refreshing! The outdoor courtyard is so beautiful with the tree situated in the middle , I 1000% recommend eating here!

The food is great, the service leaves a lot to be desired: The first bit of food came out quite quickly then it was an hour until the next course, this is not cohesive to family style dining. With three bar tenders and about a 30 percent capacity drinks should come out quickly not 20 minutes later. Sitting with empty drinks is never a good sign especially when there is no food present either. We didn t receive some of our food items and when we inquired our waitress told us she was told we sent it back and had caused a debacle, which was a fabricated story we weren t even given the opportunity to send something back, she felt terrible and did comp the items but come on?!! Did she not think to come check on us if this was the story told? Do better. The food was satisfying but the rest of the experience made me unlikely to recommend or hurry back to.

My experience at Kin and Folk was a bit below par but I am not writing to deter patrons from trying this place out! I think the kinks we experienced can definitely be worked out and the food really was phenomenal! Unique flavours that I ve never had, the five spiced agnolotti is truly one of my favourite dishes in recent memory. The service is where they ve lost a few stars, our drinks took a loooong time and we were often left with empty drinks and glasses on the table. One of our dishes never got delivered to us and when we asked the waitress she advised that the runner told her we sent it back (even though no one attempted to deliver any food to us). Our server promptly fixed this and comped us for the item which was appreciated. The space itself left much to be desired, they need to ditch the cheesy mirrors, add some inspired art work, shelves and plants to fill up what seems like an awkwardly empty space. I think with some tweaks this place really has great potential for success and I hope to see it happen for them!!

Do yourself a favour and just go! This is hands down the best restaurant in Penticton. The drinks are true masterpieces and the food is unbelievably creative and flavourful.

The food was delicious, Service was excellent, Overall a very great experience, Will return, Food : 5/5 |

The patio is beautiful. The service lovely and the food exactly what you hoped for. Delicious! A nod to those who created and those who craft behind the line. Well done!

One of my favourite meals I ve ever had. Flavours were delicate, balanced and unique. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this place! Upbeat, fresh, and bright. The staff are very personable, knowledgeable and very attentive. Would high recommend Kin and Folk for your next dining experience.

Gluten Free people / lots of options for you. I had the sweet and sticky ribs two days in a row - they were so amazing! Excellent service and loved the concept of sharing food . We ll be back!!!!!

So much fun, great food. Love the outside atmosphere

Excellent vibes, food, and service. Special shout out to Jamal for taking special care of us. Food

Thank you. This was one of our favourite eating experiences. Wow! Boa and sticky ribs. My goodness. Wife loved pina reyes! Happy hour was great!

My grandma and I came here for dinner last night and we were both blown away. The restaurant has a beautiful interior with a great outdoor patio. The service was exceptional, everyone was friendly and attentive. The food stole the show, absolutely delicious. Will be going back to try more as every dish we had was fantastic.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Kin and Folk restaurant. The staff were exceptionally observant, kind, and professional, ensuring a pleasant visit. Not only was the service remarkable, but the food was exceptional as well. Every dish was prepared to perfection, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors that left a lasting impression. The ambiance of sitting outside was very enjoyable, creating a delightful atmosphere. The only minor setback was a spot light issue, but they assured it would be fixed soon. Despite that, I will definitely go back again for another delightful meal. Highly recommended!

Delicious!

Wow, wow, wow. What a great meal we had tonight at Kin & Folk. The vibe, the service and the food were all top shelf. Kin & Folk incorporated a great concept with shareable plates. The two of us thoroughly enjoyed the Jerk Chicken, the Prawn and Scallop, the Ginger and Scallion Crab, as well as the Soy Sable dish. I only wish we had more stomach space to enjoy more of their dishes. I can t recall in recent memory a better tasting meal. On our next visit to Penticton Kin & Folk will be at the top of our list of places to visit. Koodos to all the staff at Kin & Folk

Interesting and delicious combinations of flavor beautifully presented. Highly recommend this place

Amazing food and service! Our server Tamara was excellent! Will definitely be back!

This restaurant will be around for a very long time! This was our date night and we enjoyed it thoroughly! The staff were amazing and very genuine, the food was incredible and the customer service, over the top! Everything we had was excellent. The prawns and scallops were to die for, every bite had an incredible and different flavour that I need to go back and have again! The cucumbers complimented everything we had, the crab dish was delish and the tiramisu ..mind blowing! You can not come here, without having those items. You won t be disappointed!

TL;DR: Kin & Folk is a must-visit! From the charming ambiance to the outstanding service and delicious Asian fusion cuisine, this place deserves five stars! Celebrating our anniversary at Kin & Folk was an absolute delight. Nestled in the heart of Penticton, the positive buzz from previous reviews is well-founded. The outdoor seating was delightful. A giant maple tree growing in the middle of the patio added a touch of nature and warmth to our dinner. The ambiance was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the evening. What truly stood out was the impeccable service. Our waiter orchestrated the meal, delivering each dish with a cadence that ensured there was never a lull. The attentiveness and timing showcased a level of professionalism that was truly appreciated. The heart of any dining experience is the food that flourished at Kin & Folk. The Asian fusion showcased flavors and creativity. The undeniable highlights were the Pork Bao Buns, Five Spice Agnolotti, and Sesame Tofu Cabbage. However, every dish we ordered was delicious, and nothing disappointed. For instance, Im not a fan of Tiramisu, yet I wouldnt think twice about ordering the Miso Tiramisu for dessert again in a heartbeat. Kin & Folk is an undeniable gem. My only concern is securing reservations in the future, as Kin & Folk is undoubtedly on the path to becoming a local favorite.

This place is fantastic!!! We have been a few times now! The food, drinks and service all incredible. Our most recent visit was around 530 August 6th, there was an incident with a belligerent table. The situation was handled very professionally and timely. Back to the positives which was the WHOLE experience! The staff is unbelievably good, well trained, fast, efficient and accurate. Its great to see Zac out socializing at the tables. His food is amazing. Every dish was spot on as usual... the prawns and scallops (do that... ) Thank you for another perfect evening Kin & Folk team... youre all awesome!!!

Tried this place again yesterday. Service was excellent, as it was on our first visit. The food is an interesting variety of many types of dishes. Some of the foods have spices that may not appeal to everyone. Will try again later this summer.

Had a great meal here a few nights ago. Our server was excellent as well along with all of the support staff we encountered. Cool atmosphere and very inviting. Would be best to try in a group where you can share a few options, as there were two of us and so many things looked interesting. They also accommodated a kids meal which was nice and priced appropriately.

Amazing food, delicious cocktails, friendly and helpful service... An all around great dining experience and I cant wait to go back! I highly recommend the crab and vermicelli, the scallops and prawns, and the cabbage dish. Everything my group had was incredible... Not a single complaint!

Excellent food and great service! Will definitely go again when in Penticton. Highly recommend

Id honestly give them 10 stars if I could. Wow!! One of the best restaurants to pop up in Penticton. The food 10/10. Our server was super friendly & the atmosphere beautiful! Take yourself on a date or go with someone, or many someones! The jerk chicken sooooo delish! Also, the prawns and scallop was out of this world. If you like lime, coconut and seafood with a beautiful presentation then this dish wont disappoint. The drink menu very fancy and fun! Definitely hitting up this resturant again and again. Thanks Team Kin & Folk!

Amazing food! Amazing drinks! Love the uniqueness of the menu!

Overall, the service was great and the food was good. We were a table of 5 on a Wednesday night. The restaurant was medium busy. We were seated at a round table and it was tiny. It was impossible to fit all the shared plates and at one point one of us was holding a shared plate in our hand to make room for all the plates. The music was also too loud. These things really put a damper on our dining experience. The food was good, but they were out of about a quarter of the items on the menu. This was pretty disappointing given the dishes they were out of were the ones we were most excited to try. The service was great and our server was really friendly.

Was great. Best fried rice in town. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was excellent. Attentive and not intrusive. Drinks were mixed perfectly. Recommend for sure Food

ive been there a couple times and each time everything was super awesome, cant wait to go back!!!!!

Beautiful patio with 5 star food and service. The in house freshly made pasta and bread were a highlight alongside the melt in the mouth chicken. With every dish there was phenomenal sauce to accent the experience, chefs kiss. It was wonderful to chat with the manager Jamal while having some finely crafted cocktails. A must visit while in Penticton!!

What a refreshing place to dine in Penticton. Look forward to amazing fuzion that tastes so fresh. And wash it down with an incredible cocktail list. Our server Tamara was amazing and cultivated all the above for an spectacular experience.

Visited for the first time on our anniversary and were blown away. They gave us a nice glass of bubbles on the house, the rest of the drinks were fantastic as well. Service was knowledgeable and engaging, but also great at reading the table and not ignoring you, but not hovering. From an overall great night, the food was hands down the most amazing part. We tried a couple appies and shared some entres and they were all amazing! The food might be a little bit pricier, but you get what you pay for. It is delicious, beautiful food and will definitely be back! Five Spice Agnolotti was sooo amazing.

I came to check out this trendy new spot during happy hour. Great happy hour specials, creative and upscale cocktails and an innovative menu. The vibe is great, I loved the tropical plants. The service was excellent and the dishes we ordered were excellent.

Visited here Thursday evening. Third time for me. Very impressive. Interesting menu and everything plate we ordered were excellent. As usual. We love the shared plates idea. Jessica, our wonderful server, looked after us again. Shes one of the best in town. We know well have a great time when shes looking after us. Her recommendations are spot on.

Had the most amazing experience the other night. Our cocktails were great. The menu was awesome! Tons of dairy free and gluten free options. It s not often that my partner and I agree on all of our food options that cater to my allergies. Highly recommend!!

An absolutely amazing experience! Thank you for hosting our large group for a birthday celebration. The staff were so friendly. The food and drink was divine. We appreciated being able to bring some extra little pieces for the table setting to make the evening extra special :). I cannot wait to return to Kin and Folk again. This is definitely one of my new favourite restaurants in town!

My wife and I had our 7th anniversary here and all around 5 stars! Megan was our server and we had a blast! We had the Ribs, Ramen and a Ribeye and they were all tasty plus we tried an assortment of delicious cocktails. Lots of flavors and everyone from staff to guests were having fun! So glad we finally got to try this out and will be back

Such wonderful caring staff! We enjoyed a lovely meal outside on the patio. I especially enjoyed the chicken with cream sauce and the vegetables in soy sauce. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law suffered some kind of mini-stroke during the meal, and we had to take her to emergency. All the staff were so helpful and understanding. I highly recommend this restaurant. I also want to thank everyone who helped us at the restaurant tonight - you are excellent human beings! Thank you

Best restaurant in town. Excellent value for your money. Good and drinks are top notch!

Definitely my favourite restaurant in Penticton! The staff are always so welcoming and knowledgeable and the vibes are absolutely INCREDIBLE. The food is unique and unlike any other and dont get me started on the stunning cocktail list. A 10/10 spot for sure!

Absolutely amazing! All their dishes were delicious! Great service and atmosphere. We went back again two days later for another dinner, it was that good! Highly recommended!

Loved the food and loved the service. We even loved the atmosphere and were having just a great experience UNTIL this annoyingly bright light came on and shone right in our eyes. Apparently there was no way to shut it off ( which I dont believe ) . It ruined the whole evening. Ive been to hundreds of restaurants in my life and never had a security light in my eyes. I doubt we will go back or even refer them to our friends. At least until they remove the light. So sad

I was excited to try this new place, but left feeling rather disappointed. When we sat down, we were told that the family bread was sold out. Thats too bad as we wanted to try that. After our courses arrived, we saw 2 tables receive the family bread. One was a table that came in after us, and another was apprently the owner with his guests. Anyway, we let it go. We tried the bao buns, the agnolotti, and the soy chicken. The dishes tasted good. We made a recommendation to the waitress that the soy chicken could benefit from a side dish because it came at the end and there was nothing to pair it with. The waitress said thats why you order other things with it. Understandable, but since the chicken came out last, we had already finished the other things we ordered. It would be nice to have an option to add sides to the entrees. Perhaps the waitress could have recommended something we could order off the menu to go with the chicken... maybe the family bread?

Fabulous food - such creative flavour combinations. Very attentive service by several staff, particularly Michele. Pretty loud atmosphere, but it did bring a real energy to the place. Highly recommend this restaurant. Food

Our first visit to Kin & Folk. Amazing food and excellent service! We look forward to returning to try out the new menu in November. Great decor and love the private courtyard patio. Definitely worth the drive from Kelowna. Thanks for a great experience. Yvonne and Jim Food

Wonderful service, okanagan wine selection, food, and best of all.. company! My boyfriend and I met up with several friends on a Saturday night. The table ordered many sharing plates. I stand by the ribeye and cabbage salad - perfect portions for two to share. The tiramisu was unique - less sweet than most. Absolutely massive. One order should easily satisfy four. Well done Kin and Folk!

Amazing food and cocktails! Fantastic service! Must check out ! 10/10!

Food was okay, small portions. Quite pricey for what you get. Food : 3/5

We showed up at 6:30 on a Saturday without a reservation and they found a place for our party of three. The place filled up quite quickly after we sat and there was a good vibe happening! We shared a bunch of dishes which is a fun way to eat..and mind of their vibe! Lots of delicious flavours! We loved the Bao Buns and the Chicken Karage. Lovely friendly service! We will visit again when we are in town!

Went here last night. The dishes were amazing, and very original. The agnolotti and bao buns were to die for. The service was very good and the atmosphere had a funky vibe. The patio wasn t open, but it looked really good. Another great restaurant in Penticton and area!

I cant rave enough about the food and cocktail. 10/10

My husband and I recently went here for a date night and we were so impressed with everything! Beautiful decor, delicious food and cocktails and wonderful service. We will for sure be back very soon!

Nice atmosphere and decor! We shared the tofu bao buns and the crab noodles. The bao buns were great, and it was nice to have a vegetarian option. The crab was flavourful, but lacked texture. I was expecting more for the price.

Food was unreal! Definitely try the fried rice and bao buns. Service was great, staff super friendly and attentive. Will be returning! Thanks guys!

friends recommended we try this restaurant and we were so glad we did! the place is stylish and clean, service was friendly and fun, but THE FOOD!! picture-perfect, yet unpretentious, and soooo delicious! i *might* have shed a tear over the short rib agnolotti with orange soy beurre blanc. yep, you read that right. it might honestly be the best thing i ve eaten in my whole life! so good that we wanted to go hug the chef.. but we didn t. :D i wrote this review, instead.

Swinging by Penticton and supremely glad we stumbled across this gem of a restaurant. Great vibes, music and atmosphere coupled with deep flavors and creatively curated dishes makes for an easily 10/10 experience. Would definitely come again! Must try: 5-Spice Agnolotti!

This is a restaurant serving good food and drink at exorbitant prices. 5 people shared a few drinks and food - our couples bill was $177 before food, another couples bill was over $220. It s good food & drink, but absolutely not worth the price tag. You will get the same quality for half the price down the road.

Terrible service, I was waiting for the waiter for 20 min, she never showed up! They def can do better! Food : 4/5

Excellent food, great service & reasonable prices. I was passing through Penticton with family yesterday when we randomly happened across Kin & Folk. We stopped in for lunch and all 4 of our dishes were incredibly well done. I was also pleasantly surprised with prices as they were more than reasonable for the quality of dining we were experiencing. 4 of us had a great lunch for under $90. At one point they got quite busy and the waitress forgot a coffee we had ordered. She came by shortly afterwards apologizing and offered the coffee on the house as a courtesy, what a great example of genuinely fantastic service. We will certainly be stopping here again when passing through town after this first perfect experience. Keep up the great work all.

Way too noisy!

Every now and again you find a magical restaurant outstanding food, cocktails, wine, service, and an atmosphere that is energetic and filled with kindness! Since finding this restaurant in penticton I have brought essentially every person I know at least 7 times now ..Every time without fail my family or friends have said this is the most amazing experience they ve had! My husband and I are working our way through the menu and there is nothing on this menu that you will not love. My favourites prawn and scallop share sticky ribs, agnolotti, sable fish ..and the salads are original and tasty. A must go when you go to Penticton or if you are lucky enough to live in Penticton!! Thank you Mac, Zachary, Jamal and everyone of your team for all of it!!

First time here and stumbled upon it by accident, and I m so glad I did. What a fabulous place , the food was amazing. Rumour has it they do change up the menu now and then, but I can t imagine anything disappointing.

Thank you for making the Phantom Creek Estates staff dinner such a fantastic experience ! The food was the star but everything else knocked it out of the park too. The staff took great care of us - our glasses were never empty We will definitely be back!

Fun and unique Chinese fusion! Some hits and misses but generally all the dishes were well executed and presented. Five spice agnolotti and fried rice were our favorite. Also liked their cocktails very much. interesting flavour mixing that worked well. Our server, Lisa was personable and helpful, making our night out enjoyable one.

Cozy warm tables, full of shared plates and hip beats invites you in. Don t let pronouncing all the unique flavours or ingredients intimidate you. It all tastes oh oh oishii good. Find yourself talking about even the salad that has everything from earthy roasted mixed along with farm fresh, to a satisfying spicy crunch. Let your tastebuds explore while you share, taste and imbibe. You will be back to temp yourself once more, or maybe just to do it all over again.

Excellent spot. Highly recommend.
