KIN on Postcard

"No not us (although we were there first), but a lovely little eatery specialising in Asian Street Food. We resisted for as long as we could (because of the name clash) but after one lunchtime special – £5 for a Green Curry – we were hooked." - Kin

"Firstly, congratulations for making it this far down Leather Lane on a weekday lunchtime without accidentally eating your weight in halloumi. Your prize, assuming you make it to Kin still hungry, is a play-by-play of every dish you said you’d definitely learn to cook at home after your gap year in southeast Asia, but never did. And frankly who needs to when places like Kin exist? If you haven’t booked ahead, walk past the queue of people waiting for their takeaway curry pots, then order the prawn pad thai and a glass of jasmine iced tea." - oliver feldman, jo harris cooksley, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

"You’ve probably scrolled past Kin on your social media feeds before. The brand produces 'euphoric' readymade non-alcoholic drinks and aperitifs." - Melinda Fakuade

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

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

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

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

Can’t recommend them enough! The food is always delicious and really high quality. They’re also really fast for takeaway as well. Favourite on the menu has to be the banana fritters with syrup and ice cream 🥰

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

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