" After visiting Kinn Kao a few times now, I can safely say it’s one of Portland's best Thai spots. I always come back for that amazing pumpkin tempura. They have great vegetarian options too! The service could be a bit slow during peak hours, but the food makes it well worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was underwhelmed by the experience at Kinn Kao. The food was overly spicy for my palate and lacked the balance I was looking for. On top of that, my server seemed distracted. I might consider giving it another chance for a more balanced option. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Kinn Kao and it was quite an experience. The decor is eclectic and adds to the overall vibe. I ordered the fried rice, and while it was good, it lacked the depth of flavor I expected. The service was friendly, but our server seemed a bit overwhelmed. It's a nice place nonetheless, just don’t expect everything to be perfect. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kinn Kao is a hidden gem! I didn’t know that such authentic Thai cuisine existed right in my neighborhood. I was particularly impressed by the range of vegetarian options available, and the service was prompt even during busy hours. Highly recommend the veggie dumplings! So fresh and flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Kinn Kao is the best Northern Thai spot I've ever been to! The flavors are so rich and truly authentic, especially the curry dishes. I recommend going with friends and ordering a variety of things so you can try as much as possible. The only downside was the slight wait for food during peak hours, but it's worth it once you have that first bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" A bit hit or miss honestly. I loved the ambiance and the uniqueness in the menu but was disappointed by the curry sausage that was overly salty. It's a shame because I wanted to love this place as I've heard so much! I might try again but with different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit was rather disappointing. The food lacked seasoning, and I found it to be overlooked. The grilled chicken was rubbery, and the service was not attentive. Usually, I have better luck here, but this visit left me feeling unsure about returning. " (*Curated Review*)
