Absolutely incredible food and service. The tasting menu was amazing - every course excellent and somehow better than the last! It was the most amazing experience, the staff explained everything in the dishes, drinks were matched and the whole experience was utterly brilliant. This is our 2nd time here, and it was every bit as special as the last time. Incredible - you should try it! Thank you to all the staff at Kiin for a wonderful experience!

Came for their 12 course summer tasting menu. It was a fantastic experience. First off, coming in, their bar is beautiful with cool Thai inspired cocktails. We did have to wait a bit to be seated at the dining table, however the bartender did make it an enjoyable wait. Our server was from Thailand and described every dish in detail and provided amazing service. The food was spectacular. Every dish was packed with complex flavour but is just the right amount. I loved every dish. I was really full by the end of the meal, so this isn't a tasting menu that leaves you hungry. But be prepared to use your hands for some dishes. We came for a birthday celebration and they even brought out an extra dessert for our birthday celebration. Overall, a 10/10 experience and can't wait to come back to try another season's menu.

We went for the 7-Course Vegetarian Tasting Menu and it was by far the best Thai food I’ve ever experienced. Every dish was well presented with wonderful explanations from our server. We tried 2 cocktails, would definitely recommend the one with chilli oil in it if you generally drink spicy margaritas. The Massaman Curry was the highlight of our experience. The flavours were authentic and presentation of the dish was outstanding! Both the desserts were delicious and overall it was a well balanced meal which felt perfect, neither too heavy nor too light. Definitely worth a visit!

It was good but nothing special. We tried the 12 course meal and it cost almost $500 for two people with a couple of drinks and tip. We also came last year for their 7 or 8 course meal and that was much better than this years. It just didn’t seem worth the cost this year as the dishes were quite underwhelming. I’m a huge fan of all of Chef Nuit’s restaurants and I’ve been a loyal customer for years. I’ve never had a complaint like this about their food.

My review is primarily reflective of the food not the service or atmosphere. We stopped by for a treat and enjoyed the seven course tasting menu at kiin. I will say that the service, atmosphere and the drinks were phenomenal so kudos to the staff for those aspects. As for the food I would say for $130 each for the tasting menu u it was lacking. Each course came with an incredible story that often overpromised on the flavour. In particular the scallop and the dessert trio were disappointing. The scallop gave my wife and I some nausea and was really really fishy; worth skipping altogether. The curry was the highlight and was very good but not any better than a run of the mill Thai curry. Overall I would say this is a nice venue and a great atmosphere but for the price I would lean to one of your other famous Toronto Thai restaurants.

Not to be missed! This is an incredible Royal Thai restaurant with a beautifully done menu and great atmosphere. The food was absolutely incredible - even items I don’t usually enjoy like caviar were amazing and done to perfection. We loved every single dish. Highly recommend for a date night, anniversary, or birthday dinner. I have 8 food allergies including Celiac (gluten free, dairy free, soy free, peanut free and more) and they accommodated and adjusted the menu so I could enjoy the meal! If you’re a foodie, you need to go here to experience a Royal Thai cuisine meal. The attention to detail was amazing!

Gorgeous atmosphere, very pretty and well spaced. Because it’s a little bit hidden it makes the place feel more special too. Didn’t know but they are a sister restaurant to Pai and so obviously the food was amazing. Really enjoyed the Pad Thai the most. Lattes were good too but I’m not sure if there is any coffee in it as neither tasted like coffee at all.

Beautiful restaurant, our server was amazing and very informative. We did the 7 plate course with wine pairing. The experience was great. With a diverse palette group most of us liked a different dish better. Fun for the experience. Food was beautiful and definitely unique. Gotta love coconut 🥥.

Like in Seinfeld, they can take a reservation, but they cant hold it. Reservation was made via phone 2 months prior to planned date. Arrived 10 minutes early to be told they couldnt find the reservation, but if we waited 30 minutes they should be able to get us in. Its impractical to wait in the establishment as there is no where to go and the entry area is very small. Ended up leaving very unsatisfied with the experience.

Went there for dinner. Had their 7 course tasting menu and it was out of this world. Out server, Maria was so good with providing the low-down on each of the courses. She was really friendly and genuine. The food was mind blowing. The first couple of courses we were worried if wed be full by the end of it as they portions were one-bite size but as the courses progressed, we were getting full by the 5th and 6th course. By the end we were stuffed, happy and left with what felt like a warm hug with the finishing course. Highly recommend. Dietary restrictions: They accommodate Halal

The service was SUPER SUPER SLOW. It took us more than three hours for a seven-course tasting menu. We arrived at 7 PM, but it wasn t until 8:30 PM one and half hour later that we received the third course, which was just an egg custard. Essentially, it took them that one and half hour to serve two small one-bite snacks! By 9 PM, we finally got the main course. It was just AWEFUL waiting there and starving for one and half hour. What made it worse was that the restaurant wasn t even busy; there were empty seats all around us. It s baffling how they could be so slow with no clear reason. The wait was excruciating, and the experience was absolutely awful. Would not recommend.

Met up with a friend for Sunday lunch, decor on point, staff are super friendly and food was good.

November 23, 2024

Very cute restaurant but the food was not it, service was maybe a little less than ok and way overpriced for the dishes that you get. From the 7 course menu, 6 of the 7 courses tasted only like coconut. The vegan menu felt like that they did not put any energy in trying. We all had a weird stomach feeling when getting home. We were expecting way more from this place from getting the recommendation from amex and also looking at the menu (which changed after the reservation) and Instagram.

We sat at the chef s counter and had great conversations with the staff and even Chef Regular. I look forward to visiting again.

This is the most exquisite Thai food Ive ever had in Toronto. The ambiance is very upscale, and each dish is presented in a unique way. There are several sets to choose from, and my favorite is the dessert, which includes something like mini taro balls. Its incredibly delicious, and I absolutely loved it!

For the last two weekends I went to Kiin to have weekend brunch. I first went here to have the dinner tasting menu with my friend who was visiting and I was so impressed by the taste and presentation of food. The flavours were really diverse and play well together. I then went back with my mom and now twice with my sister and friends as well! I also always get the Thai hand pulled and Khao Soi Pad Haeng. I also tried the Khao Moo Grob Kua Prik Klua and Gaeng Phed Kor Moo Yang which were both also very yummy! The dessert, especially the new mango sticky rice dessert is great.

This is the second time we enjoyed the u course tasking menu. First time was in 2022 before they became Michelin listed. In short, food, taste and attention to detail was better in 2022. Price went up from $90 to $125. It was good food, but did not live up to the standards and excitement we experienced in 2022. Service by Maria was excellent and authentic!

If you re a foodie, you re certainly in for a treat. Their menu is a true tasting experience to be enjoyed, start to finish. We both selected the 7 course dining experience, but now wish we had selected the 12 course option. Next time for sure. Thank you to the entire staff, and a special thank you to Jessica for ensuring we could reschedule our reservation!

Incredible tasting menu experience! The ambiance of the place is great. Think upscale yet relaxed. The service was also exceptional. Our server tended to us consistently throughout the night to make sure we had everything we had. Everyone who brought out our dishes were very kind. The mixologist was very helpful in describing the drinks to help us with our decisions. And Chef Nuit came out to serve our table at least 3 times. Every single person we interacted with at Kiin cared to be there and made sure we were taken care of. Of the 9 dishes we had, 7-8 of them were incredible. Specifically, we all LOVED the Tom Kho Scallop and Khanom Jeen Sao Nom. But honestly, all the dishes were very good, very fresh and quite flavourful. I can see why a Chef Nuit is so cherished in Toronto. The thought behind her menu really shines through in her food. Dietary restrictions: Halal

We went to the restaurant this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our experience from the moment we walked in. The decor and atmosphere was very inviting and the service was on point the entire night. We sat at the bar and shared items from the bar menu including the Deep-Fried Oysters with Quail Egg, the Isaan-Style Laab Salad, and finally the Boombai Short Rib with Roti (I would put this Boombai curry on vanilla ice cream or fill up a pool and swim in it as it was sooo good that night ;)) We also had a few of the cocktails which also lived up to expectation. For the bold and the offside, like me, try the Dirty Fish Martini. It not for everyone of course but was an interesting experience that I enjoyed. And yes, I ate the anchovy. It was delicious! At the end of the evening we heard they do brunch on the weekend with some other unique dishes which we hope to return for and try in the near future.

September 23, 2024

Except for the friendliness of the reception staff, all of them are unsatisfactory. The food was salty, it came out late, and the surrounding tables were so noisy that it felt like a market, but they didnt pay attention at all, so we couldnt have a conversation throughout the meal. There is no atmosphere at all to enjoy food quietly.

Incredible food! I highly recommend making a reservation. When we did a walk-in at 7pm, we reserved for 8pm but ended up waiting until 8:30. Service was a bit slow and our 12-course meal ended up taking nearly 2.5 hours to complete with large delays at the beginning, but the impeccable food, atmosphere, and chatting with the friendly staff and Chef Nuit made it worth it! Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. A lot of thought and creativity went behind it and I highly recommend the 12 over the 7! If you arent a fan of coconut/fish sauce/tamarind, you may not be accustomed to the taste. My favourites were the watermelon palate cleanser with shallots and fish sauce, deep fried quail egg taco with oyster and tamarind sauce, the amazing steamed dumpling filled with a crunchy peanut mixture and sweet coconut sauce to drizzle, the gorgeous scallop bathed in a tangy lime coconut broth with basil oil, lemon pearls and caviar, the coconut rice vermicelli with steamed shrimp, lamb with an amazing thai chile reduction, the delicious crispy roti with a generous portion of tender short rib, sweet potato thai crispy crepe, and an incredible granita (shaved ice with lychee juice, lychee, cherries) with a crunchy peanut brittle. The laab was a bit on the salty side and chicken curry with rice and yuchoy was good but not too special; nevertheless everything ranged from delicious to incredible! Lastly, the Chef Nuit surprised me for my birthday with a hand-written card, happy birthday, and candle! I got to take back a signed menu as well and photos. I highly recommend reserving for a special occasion/date night and would come back to try their brunch and fall tasting menu. Vegetarian options: Vegan tasting menu

We had the pleasure to enjoy the 7-course tasting menu at Kiin last night. We sat at the chefs table and it was wonderful. At first, it was fascinating to see the efficiency and skill on how the dishes were artfully served and garnished. As dinner progressed, it was remarkable to observe the care and hard work of how the staff works to accommodate dietary restrictions, preferences and allergies! Since we have no restrictions, we fully enjoyed our dinning experience. Each dish was delicious! The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient from the time that we arrived to the time we left. We had the opportunity to meet chef Nuit Regular and her business partner. They were very welcoming and kind. Good luck in two weeks when Michelin anounces this years winners! In our book, you have earned 3 stars (5/5 in Google ). Thank you Kiin for making our special occasion celebration truly special! We look forward to dinning with you again!

I had high hopes for my dining experience here, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. We opted for the 12-course tasting menu with wine and sake pairings. While the presentation was visually stunning, many of the dishes lacked distinct flavors and leaned excessively on sweetness, which diluted the overall experience. On a brighter note, the wine service was outstanding. The bartender, despite being the only staff member at the bar, took the time to expertly explain each wine and sake. His insights were impressive, and I truly appreciated his attention to detail. Ultimately, while there were a few memorable moments, the experience didn t justify the price. The limited flavor variety in the food left me feeling that it was a bit overpriced for what was ultimately offered.

Tried the seven-course tasting menu. It is okay. The watermelon starter was good. The first dish is a bit too sweet. The second dish is a bit too sour. The third dish, the cold soup was good. The fourth dish, the noodle was also good but some of the beans are raw and chew like small stones, which ruined the dish. The fifth dish, the chicken rice was good. The sixth dish, the beef stuck on my teeth and the flavour is too heavy. The roti is too sweet. The last dessert dish has some creativity and tastes okay. The service and the environment was good but the food did not impress me. This is a fine dining restaurant so I was expecting more balanced and complicated flavours.

Kiin is the hidden gem in downtown toronto that is a must try for thai food lovers. We sat at the bar and every cocktail on the menu that we tried surpassed our expectations. Great service and a such a feel good warm ambience if you are on a date night. I only took one star away for portion size of food. We didnt book the tasting menu thinking it would be lot of food and ordered from bar food menu. For a price of 35$ plus tax, our shareable item was not sufficient. It will be great if they clarify that when people book. But nonetheless we had a great time. Special mention to our bartender Jeff!

Our daughter took us to Kiin for the 12 course tasting menu. This was the first day of their new summer menu. Some dishes were spectacular while a couple had a few misses. My daughter and I (both vegetarians) got 2 completely different dishes for one of the courses, which seemed to be a mistake. Overall the presentation was refined and beautiful! The cocktails were interesting and the service was excellent. The most endearing part of this restaurant is that the Chef comes out to meet with every guest and one gets to engage with her story.

The food, service, and ambiance at this restaurant are all exceptional, truly on par with a Michelin-starred establishment. They claim to offer cuisine in the style of Thai royalty. While I cant verify how well they represent Thai royal cuisine, their Thai dishes and presentation certainly stand out from typical Thai restaurants. Overall, their dishes are milder than standard Thai fare, but they provide chili peppers and other seasonings so diners can adjust the flavors to their liking. Additionally, they also serve popular dishes from other Southeast Asian regions, such as Hainanese chicken rice and Chinese sausage. Remarkably, their prices are also very reasonable. If you want to experience some of the best Thai cuisine in Toronto, this restaurant is definitely one of the top choices.

Where to start I guess the food because after all, why are you going to a restaurant? the main star was the main star. I may have change the order in which the food came, because I think some of the earlier items overshadowed some that came later - when each course individually was great. Left satisfied in the most wonderful way. I was thinking back to the last time a dining experience left me so affected - and it took me many years back. Wow. The next thing would be the service. Top-notch in a very personal familiar way. I can t wait to see what the next tasting menu is like. Will eat every morsel and drink every drop.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts! My favourite flowers are ones I can eat, and this one is close enough. Kiins thai flower dumpling is steamed to a delicious glutinious chew, that releases a burst of sweet, fragrant umami from the fried baby shrimp and tamarind sauce, thats magnified by the fried garlic and chili placed on top. The betel leaf underneath also provides a fresh, herbal balance to your one bite. The coconut soup strikes a perfect harmony between the tropical richness of coconut with a taming acidity along with the lime leaves. The mushrooms inside have a snappy, bouncy texture and the grape tomatoes inside burst with a tangy sweetness, all rounded out with an aromatic combination of herbs. The short ribs were cooked to tenderness, no knife needed in order to demolish the meat along with a creamy yet tangy tamarind coconut curry. Included inside are potatoes that are just fork tender, peanuts, and pearl onions, served with a lovely serving of blue rice thats perfect to soak up the curry. We got the Thai Flower Dumpling, Coconut Soup, Massamaan Short Rib Curry

I like Pai & Sukothai from the same owner. Didnt enjoy kiin as much. Went on Sun lunch and therefore had to go with the Thai brunch menu. A bit too fancy and not enough usual choices besides pad Thai (no red curries or Khao soi)..had deep fried golden bags, good but small. Had pad Thai which was ok. Also had Thai rice porridge (Jhok) which was not my cup of tea. From pictures of their menu online it seems to be fluctuating between 10 choices of main dishes and 5 dishes. For us it was the latter.. ended up $58 for 2 main & 1 starter which nowadays is considered reasonable.

The best experience I have found in Toronto thus far. We reserved the chefs table to watch as the food was prepared. Each course a unique tour of Thailand in a dish. The atmosphere was perfect. Comfortable and cozy for an intimate celebration. The staff were exceptional. Though it was our first time, they treated us like we had visited many times before. Even the chefs took the time despite the busyness of the kitchen to come speak with us. They plan to change the tasting menu with each season. Definitely returning to this restaurant to see what they come up with next!

We went to Kiin for dinner and ordered a 7-course tasting menu, and everything was beyond our expectations. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great dark, cozy, elegant, and intimate, perfect for a date or a small group gathering. They have a unique Thai-style interior, and the room scent is also pleasant. The service is excellent: the staff are very patient and polite, and they introduced every dish to us. We also got a chance to talk to the chef, who is very friendly and made us feel welcome. The food is the best part, as you can see in the pictures, it is well-presented and delicious. We were amazed that the portions are very generous, and we were very full and satisfied afterward. Its definitely worth the value of the price you pay. The overall experience is great; I think its one of my top picks among the fine Thai restaurants Ive been to. Ill definitely come again and 100% recommend! (Also thanks restaurant for being considerate and provide hygiene product in the restroom)

I came here for my birthday this past weekend and all I can say is I was impressed. I also left very full! Did the 12 course meal (you don t see the dishes until they come to the table). They also substituted some of the items for me since I don t eat beef or pork. They were all a work of art. The staff were knowledgeable and very friendly and accommodating. I m just going to share the pictures of what we ate, instead of talk to them all I can say is everything was delicious and a unique take on Thai food I don t think you ll experience anywhere else. Their presence on the Michelle s Guide makes sense. This was also the first time I tried escargot! They were patient enough to answer my boyfriend s many questions and he even left with one of their hard-to-find ingredients, and a cookbook! Shoutout to our server (I m sorry I didn t get her name but she was Philippino)~ Also the birthday card from the staff made me feel just that more special WOW

We had the 12-course tasting menu, and it has to be one of the best weve had. Pretty much every course was presented in an eye-catching, unique setup, but also was delicious and packed with flavors. There was plenty of variety to be had, with different meats, veggies, fruits, herbs and flavors, and we kept looking forward to every upcoming course. The overall meal was filling, and we were left with nothing more to desire. 100% recommend.

Exceptional food but don t come hungry! The food on the tasting menu will probably be some of the best you ve ever tasted! But the 12-course menu is truly a journey with a lot of waiting in between each stop. Our main course came 2 hours into the meal, which was preceded by 9 dishes that were one bite each. So imagine showing up hungry to dinner, being given an absolutely amazingly flavorful bite of something and then having to wait 10-15 min to take a single bite of something else. If that s how you roll, good! It was a bit much for me. But at least after asking for some extra rice, I didn t walk out hungry. So yeah, have a bite before embarking on thai culinary journey.

The restaurant had 5 people seated, more workers, and plenty of empty tables, but was refused a table because apparently the chef didn t want more people or maybe I was being PROFILED! Go figure! Adding this comment after your response: 1. I guess your response would make complete sense had I not seen 2 other people walk in after and didn t; see them walk out. So I guess the chef had no issues seating 2 people, but had a flow issue with 1 person? 2. The offer to go to PAI was ridiculous, if I had to go to PAI I would have gone to PAI. People come to a restaurant to try that restaurant, not shooed away to eat somewhere else.

Went for the Thai brunch menu which I thought was unique in the city. The food was delicious but I found the portions small as entrees. My group ordered everything to share which was a great way to try a majority of their dishes. I d recommend the Jhok (Thai rice porridge), Pad Thai and Chor Muang (purple steamed Thai flower dumplings). The Cha Chug (Thai pulled milk tea) and Thai Iced Coffee were good. I d skip the Khao Khai Jiao (omelette). Wished I had tried the Patong Cho (Thai crullers served with a coconut-pandas custard) because the crullers were really good. The Khai Kratha traditional breakfast and Jhok (Thai porridge) came with a few of the crullers which I thought was delicious.

Weekend brunch at Kiin is excellent. The traditional Thai breakfast and lunch dishes are unique and SO good. Ive been here a few times and highly recommend the jhok (Thai rice porridge) and khai kratha (Thai-style pan-fried eggs). Their drinks are great too -- Ive had the cha chug (Thai pulled milk tea) and the Thai tea latte. The decor is elegant and the service is very good. Reservations are recommended. We were walk-ins and waited a bit for a high top table which is not as comfortable as a standard table. Update: I came back to have the Royal Thai-inspired multi-course Sumrab tasting menu. This was a really unique dining experience, and its definitely worth it for a special occasion dinner. The food was fantastic, the presentation was beautiful, and we felt full at the end of the meal. Menu standouts include the dry-style khao soi with braised beef brisket, the red curry smoked duck, and the massaman short rib. There is also a vegan Sumrab tasting menu and an à la carte menu.

The service is warm and welcoming. The highlight is the wild betel leaf wrap. We were not impressed by other appetizers, nor main entry. Soup was flavorful but too salty. Papaya salad was missing the crunch and a bit leathery. After the wild betel leaf wrap, there were no more wow s for us.

An absolutely delicious experience in summer of 2023 - part of the issue I always have with going to the Chef s other restaurants is being pulled to my favourite (khao soi) and then not having enough room to have much else - the tasting menu solves this for me and lets someone enjoy a symphony of flavours that otherwise would be missed! The presentation is very elegant, served in a what I can only describe as very eclectic decor dining room. Each dish introduced by the staff with a short explanation. Be wary that like many downtown venues the bathrooms are very, very small! The fresh cocktails (mocktails for me) were all very good. Service was very attentive and eager to fix anything not perfect for us, too. We had an early seating and the co2 levels were good but steadily rising for those who are concerned about air quality. It is a packed place, and no HEPA filters were seen from our dining area 100% would come dine again!

This restaurant deserves a Michelin star. Weve dined at other Michelin star restaurants and this blows them out of the water. The service, food, atmosphere are all 10/10. The staff is phenomenal. We felt welcome the moment we stepped in through the door. From servers to bartenders, everyone was great. This is the only restaurant we found that didnt jack up the prices of their regular menu on New years Eve. We opted for their Sumrab tasting menu. Priced at $100 pp, it was reasonable for the quality and quantity of food served. Every single thing we tasted was a burst of new flavours. The presentation of the food was top notch and very colorful. The wild betel leaf wrap, Thai flower dumpling, golden bag dumpling, Khao Soi, and green curry with chicken wrapped in betel leaf were truly mind blowing. The meat was so tender and flavorful in every dish. The dessert was some form of coconut base with rice balls. It looked a little underwhelming, but tasted 10/10. We didnt think Thai food could get any better, but Kiin quickly proved us wrong. Were so glad we decided to spend our new years Eve at Kiin. Thank you!

Had a bustling visit to Kiin Thai during the busy holiday season, specifically on New Year s Eve brunch. Despite not having a reservation, they accommodated us. Service was great, though there was a mix-up with my breakfast order, swiftly corrected with a quick turnaround for all dishes. Just a funny note. I was surprised by the wrong breakfast order since I had requested a substitution by removing Chinese and Vietnamese sausages for more chicken a request that went through 5 people in the kitchen. Despite approval from 5 people and all of them knowing my order, they still brought out a completely different menu item as if we didn t just go through that lol Now we definitely enjoyed the papaya salad (very fresh and right amount of shrimp or seafood taste), chicken and shrimp dumplings (they came with these carved out hollow cucumbers that had a nice sauce inside, which I do recommend) , and the fried chicken with curry sauce (coconut curry). Pad Thai noodles were fantastic, but the chicken on it lacked flavor. If you enjoy Sukho s or Pai s pad Thai you will love this one even more as the flavour is strong and tasty tamarind. Unlike other Thai restaurants I noticed here they didn t ask how spicy you want it but they have chilli on the side. The grilled chicken was impressive but noticed a smaller portion than earlier orders, but maybe because they were almost done. Not a big fan of the Hainese chicken here since it Thai style maybe? as it didn t match the rice flavour of Malaysian or Singapore style. Overall, a positive experience with a few noteworthy points. This was brunch so we ll definitely checkout the dinner menu sometime. All staff were great too and Kiind. Khai Kratha (Thai-Style Eggs) Chicken and shrimp Dumplings Gai Yang (Grilled Chicken) Papaya Salad Pay Thai with chicken Khao Gaeng Karee Gai Tawd (Fried Chicken Curry) Khao Mun Gai (Hainanese Chicken Rice)

Great spot! We started with the mouthful mocktail, which was delicious. Really appreciate a restaurant with solid mocktail options. The appetizers were also fantastic and the presentation was so lovely. The flower dumplings we had were probably the tastiest dumplings I have ever eaten, and gluten free too, which was a bonus as my friend does not tolerate gluten well and doesnt usually get to eat dumplings. The pomelo salad was super refreshing and the chicken satay was solid too. The main (a chicken green curry) was good but not spectacular. Will probably try something else next time. We had a dessert that was like bubble tea, really nice flavours and texture and big enough to share. But what really stood out for me was the service and ambience of this spot. Sure, the bill was a little pricey but the servers were so incredibly attentive and nice. Will definitely return. Thanks Kiin!

TL;DR - go there and you won t regret. Wanted to visit for a long time. Finally got to make a reservation for Saturday. Read the recommendations about chef s table and got one for 5pm. Service 10 out of 5. Got so much attention from our server Jessica and nothing but good things to say about the team in the kitchen who were working like a well oiled machine. Daniel and the rest of cooks team were all smiles yet very professionally taking care of every single menu item and garnishing with care and love. Food - I ve got the tasting menu and my wife got the Pad Thai. The pad Thai as an a la carte item and is huge portion with a full size lobster. Phenomenal flavours, I ate a few in my life and it is good, if not the best I ever tried. The tasting menu offers variety of appetizers that are rich in flavours and work hard on the taste buds while the main smoked duck curry took the cake. Dessert was a pleasant surprise and the coffee is of an excellent quality to satisfy a coffee snob like myself. One of the better places I ve been to in the recent years. In my personal opinion better than Pai that is located just down the street, even though the owners are the same. Will def come back. Thank you!

Kiin is a force to be reckoned with. Dinning here you are assured to be served some of most truly authentic dishes showcasing the vibrant and insanely delicious cuisine that Thailand has to offer. Each dish is masterfully balanced hitting all the right notes of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. We ordered the Royal Thai set menu and after finishing each course, I had a feeling of true excitement for the next one to arrive. A feeling I havent had at a restaurant in a very long time. Kiin manages to excite your pallet, and maybe even challenge it, in the best way possible. Coupled with the amazing food is front of house team that is warm, friendly and extremely attentive. No water glass is left empty, napkins are refolded and placed on the table if youve left your seat, and any request is made graciously. Chatting to one of our servers, (I wish I had got his name) he told me that they are patiently waiting for this years Michelin Guild to come out to see if they will be awarded a star. In my view, this restaurant is absolutely deserving of a star and, if Kiin doesnt manage to achieve it this year, I have no doubt that they will in the near future. I would highly recommend and will absolutely be coming back to explore more of the menu!

Had an exceptional dining experience. We opted for the tasting menu and every dish impressed with its presentation and taste. The sake and wine pairings were well done, although I have a slight preference for the sake pours. The cocktails were also delightful, and their distinct flavors really came through. We were initially skeptical about the lobster, since most places just add it for the sake of having a wow factor, but it worked well with the pad thai and khao soi. We were seated at the chefs table, and that enhanced the experience. We had a memorable conversation with Chef Daniel, and you can tell that hes really passionate about the food that they serve. Our server, Sarah, was also excellent and attentive to our needs. I cant commend the food and staff enough. Thank you for a truly delightful experience!

Good food! I came here for lunch today around noon. We were seated promptly upon having a reservation. We ordered moo ping, dumpling, boat noodles, pad Thai chicken and chicken fried rice. On the drinks we ordered the owliang ( Thai coffee) All the food were really good. I really enjoyed the moo ping and It s one of my favourite Thai dishes. Service was amazing, our server was always checking up on us and ensuring we taken cared of.

The food came out relatively quickly after ordering. All of the food tasted good. The owliang (coffee with condensed milk) was a unique experience. Service was good - I can see why this restaurant was included in the Michelin Guide. Food : 4/5 |

Came in with pretty high expectations but left pretty disappointed. Did the seasonal tasting menu and enjoyed the appetizers but it all went downhill from there. Was expecting an authentic Thai dinner: spicy, whack-bang of flavor, sadly experienced none of that. Everything was overly sweet/salty. The portions sizes were poorly thought out. A tiny bowl of Tom Yum for three people to share, not that we enjoyed it anyway, it was weirdly sweet/way too salty and not spicy at all. Servers were nice, couldn t do much about the spice levels but did bring us extra chili oil and fresh Thai peppers on the side, but you don t come to a Michelin Thai restaurant to season your own food. I guess they do need to cater to a certain clientele so they absolutely had to minimize the spice levels but the meal was nothing like what we ve had in Thailand.

Chef Nuit and Jeff are the most gracious hosts. Chef Nuits menu is high end without being pretentious. Like Pai, the ambience is perfection with the beautiful interior, fantastic music, and beautiful authentic Thai food. We were so lucky to be there on a night Chef and Jeff were there and they sat down w us to talk and celebrate a birthday w us. I can t recommend this place enough.

I went to Kiin today, attached a photo as a proof of my visit. I have to leave a comment here since I had a very bad experience here. Food - Food is ok. Average level Thai food. Portion is good. I went there with two of my friends, we ordered one main dish for each and an appetizer to share. I was pretty full with it. I ordered Pad Thai and its not as good as PAI. Service - Worst. I had a very bad experience there today. After sitting in, nobody come up to help us to have water for 15 mins. We had to call server all the time for any service. Nobody cared about you and just left you there after you ordered food. Its ok, I understood that many busy restaurants are like that. But then the worst part come. After we left, they called me, and asked, We are Kiin, we believe you left without paying. Im pretty sure we paid so I said, No, I thought I already paid before I left. She immediately said Are you sure?. Hehe, are you sure? I felt 100% offended by hearing that. I tried to keep polite and asked them to check again. After a few seconds hold they said they made a mistake, and hang up the call WITHOUT EVEN AN APOLOGIZE. OK, this should be a service of a Michelin recommendation. AVOID this restaurant and you can go any other Thai restaurant in the town.

Got 2 entree and 2 large plates, smoke duck and beef ribs and a coconut soup.

The desert had this milky dish with rice balls and coconut, very chewy like mochi in addition to ice cream. Over all very good experience and good night out

The drinks were amazing and the food was better than decent. My dinner companion enjoyed the food a bit more than I did. We had the tasting menu. I probably had overly high expectations. I didnt expect the food to be as good as the Blue Elephant or other similar restaurants in Thailand but it was just well presented middle of the road Thai food except without any spice. Not a hint of spice in any dish (including the Khao Soi, Penang and green curries). As far as I recall the menu did not not indicate any spice options (although I guess I should have asked). The food was generally tasty (although no single dish stood out to me as outstanding), just not what I expected. The service was excellent

This is an amazing experience . We ordered the set menu and it did not let us down. I was impressed with one of the appetizers. It s a fried crispy bun sitting on a cucumber. I really like the mixed rice, great texture and flavour. The green noodles in sauce is fire! Short rib is tender and delicious. My least favourite is the Tom Yum, a bit too oily for me but maybe that s the authentic version. Jeff, our server is very accommodating.

We met Chef Nuit and her husband, Jeff. The only way to describe this power couple is that they are equally amazing, warm, and beautiful as their restaurant, Kiin. We are blessed to have met them. Credit them and their wonderful team for our unforgettable experience. We are now big fans of the owners and Kiin! For us, Best Thai restaurant in Toronto. We need to buy the Kiin cookbook now.

One of the best Thai restaurants Ive been to. I think all of the dishes I tried were really good so it was really hard to pick a favorite. The Wild Betel Leaf has crunchy garlic bites that compliment the betel leaf and sauce. The skin of the thai flower dumpling is made from butterpea, which is why its purple. It tasted light and subtle. The green Papaya salad was super flavorful and had a spicy kick to it. The thai chili sauce was very strong in this dish. The khao soi with mushroom and tofu was one of my favorites because it came with a very flavorful sauce and crispy oyster mushrooms. My dining experience at Kiin was truly a wonderful experience. I adore the ambience and the service of the staff. Vegetarian options: Theres a vegan tasting menu with an assortment of dishes that are vegan/vegetarian. It ranges from appetizers to soups to full entrees

Chefs table reservation for 2 was an incredible birthday dinner reservation. Food 10/10 & exceeded our expectations. We tried the Sumrab Tasting Menu & the Royal Thai Set Menu (lobster pad thai main) - flavours were warm & familiar yet elevated by presentation & ingredients. Every bite was enjoyable! Standouts were the Tom Yum soup (what a flavour blast) and the Khao Soi (perfect egg noodles, curry sauce you could drink). Try their mocktails! Butterfly pea drop looked great and tasted better. The staff were friendly & attentive and made the experience very comfortable & immersive. Thanks to Chef Daniel, Vanessa, Stella & Sarah! Well be back for Stellas birthday next March.

Tried the guay lub and good lord the SOUP is so light yet unbelievable flavorful. U can add sauces to it but in my opinion, doesnt need much. The chili vinegar adds an interesting experience. Noodles was very QQ. The rest of the toppings were homey. 10/10 The pandan latte was meh. 6/10. Pandan kinda subtle The mango sticky rice 9/10. Warm, sticky, nice sourness from the mango to contrast against the sweet cream Service was abit slow but atmosphere lovely nonetheless. Interesting mix of fancy but rustic?

We had fantastic service and great food from the Royal Thai tasting menu. Food was delicious, you could taste the care and thought that went into creating each unique dish. The ingredients were fresh and flavourful and masterfully joined together. The cocktails 3.5/5 - they are good, unique, but not exceptional. Our servers were very attentive and enthusiastic in explaining all the dishes that were being passed out. They took pride in their work. Overall a great place to try, especially with the Amex dining experiences credit. Definitely a place to add on your list. We will be taking our friends and family very soon.

This is, without a doubt, the most superb Thai food experience you will ever have in the city of Toronto. The Royal Thai set menu is absolutely fantastic. Everything from the presentation, flavour and texture of every dish is brilliant. Awesome cocktails too. Jeff and Chef Nuit really care about making their guests feel special. Cant wait to come back again and have Chef Nuit sign my cookbook! Its important to note that this is a high-end restaurant. If youre looking for something more chill, check out Pai (downtown or uptown) or Sukothai (several GTA locations.) Those are also run by Jeff and Chef Nuit, which means maximum flavour and authenticity. All their restaurants are awesome, but Kiin is #1 for sure! Thanks for the memories and cant wait to make more with you guys!

Overall a decent experience in terms of food, and great cocktails, however, I likely wouldn t come again due to the lack of quality/curation you d expect at similar spots. There was an unnecessary wait to be seated even though the table was ready. The two set menus are very similar except for the main. The flavour was too much and gave a sense of high sodium after each course compounding on to the next. Some palette cleansers in between courses or a neutral base to accompany courses could have helped balance the courses high flavour profiles. The main course is served on a tea light box which raises the height of the dish too much making it awkward to eat out of it. No side dish to put the lobster shells. The beef cubes were dry. Makes you think the chef didn t experience the course as a patron from start to finish but rather assessed each dish individually when planning it out. Cocktail glasses were wet but the drinks were delicious, easily the highlight of the night. Overall small details that count, when comparing to other restaurants in this price range and category.

Decent food, disgusting cocktails. FOOD: Khao Mun Gai (crispy fried chicken): very interesting fusion, i like this even more than the traditional hainanese chicken rice. Pad Thai (pork): I love the combination or crispy pork with pad thai noodles. The only thing is that this dish is quite sour. DRINKS: I sit by the bar so I watched how they made cocktails. First step of every cocktail is fill 2/3 of the glass with whip cream. Every cocktails taste like a milkshake. Pink Thai Dye: the only way to describe this drink is a strawberry flavor cup of whip cream. I felt it up to my throat and nauseous after drinking this, I gave up half way. Owliang Martini: another cup of whip cream with coffee flavor. SERVICE: good customer service, chatty and friendly waitress. VIBE: this place is much smaller than I thought, table is quite small and not much space around.

My fiancé and I had a reservation for 8:45pm and were excited because we were celebrating our anniversary. We arrived early, however, our table wasnt ready until 9pm. We were unhappy to say the least. We were seated and the manager approached us and apologized for the wait and wanted the opportunity to make it up to us as we were celebrating our anniversary, to which they did! We really appreciated the genuine apology and the service we received from our server. Our server was friendly, attentive and gave us tips on which food to eat first as we ordered from the tasting menu. The food was phenomenal, well presented and our kind of spicy. Despite the setback at the beginning, our night turned around. Thank you Kiin

Food- my partner and I ordered the tasting menus - him the Sumrab and I got the Vegan Sumrab. Like many, we are familiar with the Thai flavours that come with curries, Pad Thai, Pad Gra Prow- very spicy, tangy and bold. Kiin introduced us to Royal Thai cuisine which takes a more balanced approach. We were so pleasantly surprised! The dishes were all so fun and flavourful and the textures and presentation well thought out. The portions were great- it was the first time my partner and I took home leftovers from a fine dining experience. If we had favourites, it would definitely be the Papaya Salad, KHAO SOI!!!, and the Wild Betal Leaf wrap. There were many standout dishes to choose from. Service & Atmosphere- it s such a cozy, intimate spot! The details in the decor are so well thought out, the washrooms are kept very clean, and the staff were all very friendly which gave the place such a comforting vibe. We sat at the chefs table - if you have the chance do it!! We had great chats with the Chef and our server Jessica. The service was detailed and personable. As major fans of Pai, we are happy to add Kiin to our favourite restaurant list :) Vegetarian options: Entire vegan tasting menu Dietary restrictions: Server, host and the reso platform all asked about dietary restrictions & allergies in advance.
