Kin Khao Thai - Athlone

Abbey Lane, Athlone N37 FF29

$$ Thai Top 10 Recommended New Editor's Pick

ATHLONE Location - Fifteen years ago we broke the rules by cooking Thai food as it should be. Kin Khao Thai set the standard for Thai food in Ireland. Now is the time to throw away the rule book once again by introducing Isaan Thai to our new menu.
At home, we enjoy food from all over Thailand. Our chefs are a tight team hailing from every region of Thailand. When we cook together, Isaan is the food of choice. It’s also the fastest growing regional Thai cuisine in Bangkok, New York, and Sydney.

Isaan is a region in the North East of Thailand where the food is like no other. It’s both a joy and a challenge to eat. It’s gutsy, fermented and fiery. Each of our chefs has their own passed down family recipe or favourite comfort food from their home town. We cook, eat, and argue over each dish before it makes it to our menu!

We hope you enjoy this journey into our Kin Khao Thai world.

From the start - on the phone to change our booking time, our experience was amazing. The staff member was so helpful when we changed the time again to an earlier time. Our welcome to KinKao was so friendly as if they knew us (probably felt they did after all the calls

Excellent welcome. Staff so pleasant and eager to be helpful. Service was excellent. The chicken wings were very small and the portions of curry were small. Curry flavours were very good. The next time we would not buy the earlybird. Otherwise a very pleasant experience.

From the moment we spotted the cheerful yellow building on a dark, wet October evening, we knew we were in for a treat. Superb Thai food in wonderful Asian decor with very attentive service! After chatting a while with the waiter (owner?) regarding our preferences with regard to Thai food, we shared a new addition to the Starters menu, a spicy chicken salad which was exceptionally good. This was followed by two different lamb mains, each of which was excellent. We had no room left for banana fritters, alas, so we shared homemade ice cream instead - this was cooling after the spicy choices we had made. We will be back to explore some sweet and sour options another time!
