About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Kin Dee’s is a modern tropical eatery with cuisine that is truly authentic representation of Thailand through its unique flavors, its ingredients and overall vision. Focused on made-from-scratch, authentic and primarily noodle-based dishes, Kin Dee delivers native cuisine exactly like it’s served in Thailand. Kin Dee’s beverage menu boasts 13 signature cocktails – each inspired by and designed to pair perfectly with one of the 13 signature entrees. Concocted with a decidedly Thai flair, cocktails include the Tom Yum, a Thai twist on a classic Texas margarita, the Mango Sticky Rice, a play on the well-known Thai dessert and the Phuket, a sour twist on a pineapple flavored drink. Kin Dee also serves a selection of wine, draft beer and Thai beer. Our patios are dog friendly.

My first time trying Thai food, and @kindeehouston in the Heights did not disappoint. 🍜 We tried the Shrimp in a Blanket, drunken noodles, Panang curry, Pad Thai wrapped in a Thai omelette, pineapple fried rice, and finished with mango sticky rice for dessert. Everything is made from scratch using traditional Thai recipes, and you can really taste the difference. If you’re looking for a great Thai restaurant in Houston, this one is definitely worth adding to your list. Have you been here? What should I order next time? #htxeats #houstonfoodie #thaifoodstagram #htxfoodie #houstonheights

My first visit to Kin Dee Thai Cuisine was a mixed experience. The food was decent, but I’ve had more flavorful Thai food elsewhere, and the soup I tried was just okay. Since this was my first time trying Thai soup, I’m open to returning and exploring other menu options before making a final judgment. The cocktail, however, was a pleasant surprise! I had a vodka and mezcal martini with a pepper rim, and it was genuinely delicious. That said, at nearly $20 per drink, the pricing felt steep, especially considering the overall experience. I’d be interested to know if they offer a happy hour. Service was average, and while nothing was particularly wrong, the hospitality didn’t feel especially warm or welcoming. Overall, I’m willing to give Kin Dee another try, but for now, it hasn’t earned a spot among my top choices. With the prices in mind, I’d hope for a little more in terms of flavor, service, and overall value.

We had the house special appetizer (5-6 small plates) which were ok. For our mains we had pad Thai & a shrimp curry dish. There was not enough flavor in both dishes. Shrimp serving size (4-5) was small compared to the cost of the dish.

We can on a Wednesday and they had half price cocktails and live music. Our waiter Bob was amazing and knowledge about the menu and was able to keep up with the jokes we were throwing his way. The singer set the mood of the dinner and the whole family was swaying with the hits. The food was phenomenal and played beautifully. Truly a dinner that had it all.

Food and service was amazing luckily however, what is the point of making a reservation just to be told no tables are available when I show up? If youre going to allow anyone coming in to sit wherever and disregard numerous reservations maybe just cancel the idea of having a reservation in the first place.

We tried the HRW menu. Appetizer and dessert are good. All the main courses we got were not very good.
