That was the best mango chicken I've ever had!! The chicken is so nice and crispy. I got it to go, but I definitely want to come back. The price is reasonable and the portion is perfect! This is my go to thai and Lao food from now on 😊
The Thai Ice tea was incredible! They have fresh sugar cane a d a machine to juice it too. The golden chicken wings were absolutely delicious and just like in Southeast Asia, very authentic. I will be back!
Kin Saep is legit the best Thai food in town! We went on vacation for 9 days in San Diego. I had pork belly plate, and my fiancée enjoyed some pad Thai with crispy chicken. Portions are large, prices are very affordable. We were left with full stomachs and a large amount of leftovers for the next day! Would highly recommend! The owner is a lovely sweet mother who named the restaurant after her son. Also the sugarcane drink was delicious!
No frills just really good food, your hole in the wall restaurant. One of the best pad Thais I’ve had, the noodles were saucy and bouncy. Service was quick, appears to receive more to go orders. I would go back and I’d feel comfortable enough to eat alone there (during the day)! The area outside seemed a little questionable. Lots of parking available. Their sugarcane juice was soo good clean and refreshing . Really appreciated the guy for using good hygiene for food handling *did not ask about Celiac/gf accomodations
What a hole in the wall, I saw the reviews and I wanted to try the food. It looks delicious. I almost missed the turn with my GPS, it’s a little hidden. At first I thought it was closed and I was about to change my mind, but the open light sign was on. The servers were very attentive. The food very tasty. 😋 I definitely recommend trying it.
