My brother has taken everyone he knows to this place. They now know him personally. The food has been a hit each time. He and I like to try something new each time. Let me tell you, I have not found a dish that I didnt love.

The menu is a bit different from a standard Thai menu. More intriguing, I would say. The yellow curry was really good, and the shrimp fried rice was, too. My friends liked what they got. Kinnara Thai is my goto when I am at that end of the Valley.

First time here and ordered crying tiger and steamed seabass. Far beyond expectations, we were almost only people in the restaurant. The menu is quite big, but we made the right choice. Highly recommend.

Had the best time here drinking Sake. Their food is magnificent too. Try their tiger ribeye steak, their seabass tamarind is to die for, and happy hour is every day from 47pm lol

Had them make a salmon yellow curry that was not on the menu. It was really good. Should be a regular item.

Its a nice and clean restaurant decorated with Thai theme. We ordered the salmon curry and chicken skewers. They both come with rice and salad. Overall, the food is good, though the curry is slightly on the sweeter side for my taste.

One of my favorite places to get Thai food. Im never disappointed. Their Pad See Thai is so delicious. Their surf and turf rice is amazing. And I love love love their sweet pork dish, the sauce they serve with it is amazing. Their lamb chops are always cooked to perfection. Plus the servers are fantastic.

Delicious food! Great service! I recommend the shrimp topaz and surf n turf fried rice and they have a good selection of wines!
