Kin long beach kitchen

KIN GETS A 10+1! Everything about our dining experience was exceptional! We had the Crispy Bok Choi, Chicken Satay, Garlic Noodles with Shrimp, Garlic & Basil Chicken, & Pineapple Fried Rice. Drinks were Tamarind & Thai Beer. The +1 is for the little spinner they had for the table (pictured) to keep the gnat(s) away! No one wants the annoyance of having to continually wave gnats away while dining. Every restaurant should invest in these for both indoor and outdoor dining. It's a game changer! Will be back soon 'cause there's so much more I want to try!

If you’re looking for a good Thai place in Long Beach, go here! And look.. I get it, they have orange chicken on their menu (to cater to certain ppl who wrongly associate orange chicken with Thai food) but don’t be like Richard over there and order orange chicken at a Thai restaurant expecting it to knock your socks off. Food - we got the Pork Jerky and Wings for appetizers. I would eat these 2 things for my whole meal next time. They were soooo good! The pork jerky marinade was legit Thai and they picked the best part of the pork pieces where it was a little fatty and tender but still had that “Thai” jerky feel. The sauce that came with the jerky was on point and I seriously love purple sticky rice! Wings were perfect blend of sweet and salty and savory. Great fry crunch and meaty wings. The mango curry was a miss for me. It wasn’t bad but it was great. I feel like it had more Indian curry flavor instead of Thai curry flavor. I’d probably go with the panang curry next time instead. The garlic shrimp noodles were good, I just wish it was more saucey. It needed some sauce/moisture. Pad see ew is always a must for me when I eat Thai. This one didn’t disappoint. Love that they keep it authentic and use Chinese broccoli! Service - they ran out of mango sticky rice but were sweet about it even with tables upset with them. Service was good, food was quick and they made sure we had our drinks full. Very nice servers. Parking - free small little parking lot. I can see it getting crowded when busy but we were able to find 2 spaces very easily. Love free parking!

The waitress with short hair and masculine figure was extremely rude. I asked what size bowl the rice comes in so I know how many to order and she just kept saying it's individual size for 1 person. We ordered 2 which was enough for 3 people. Then she gives us the bill which we split between 2 parties. We pay and I asked for my credit card receipt. She points to the receipt she had already brought which was just the tables total payment, not the split bill. Then she just walks away and started asking a table what they wanted to order. I had to ask again for my bill and then the waitress raised her voice and she "I'm trying to take their order here you'll have to wait till I'm done". I said no actually we aren't finished here, you never gave us the itemized receipt. She then again points to the receipt on the table. I had to explain I wanted the visa receipt with just how much I paid on it. She then says "Fine but I can't print it out now I need to go to the front desk!" In a high voice and angrily. I'm not sure what happened in her day to make her so upset but no need to be rude to customers just asking for the size of a bowl and their receipt.... Besides that horrible experience the food was quite good but I won't be coming back after being treated with such disrespect.
