⭐ 1 Michelin star, 5 dishes, around $30 per person?! Finally tried Kin Khao in SF… ➡️

and here’s everything I ordered! 👀

🍄 Mushroom Hor Mok: Creamy, savory Thai curry mousse with mushrooms and coconut cream. The crispy rice crackers were my favorite part, especially dipped into that rich curry!

🌶️ Sai Ua with Namprik Noom: Northern Thai sausage packed with herbs and spices, served with a spicy pepper relish, fresh greens, and crispy pork cracklings. Loved making little lettuce wraps with everything!

🍜 Khao Soi: Rich, creamy coconut curry broth with tender chicken, egg noodles, and crispy noodles on top. So comforting and full of flavor!

🔥 Pad Kee Mao: Spicy stir-fried wide rice noodles with ground pork, garlic, peppers, and Thai basil. Loved the smoky flavor and little kick of heat!

🍚 Khao Mun Gai: Tender poached chicken with fragrant chicken rice and a gingery, spicy dipping sauce. Simple but so satisfying!

We shared all 5 dishes, which came out to around $30 per person for four before tax and tip. Not bad for a Michelin-starred lunch in SF! 🥹

📍 Kin Khao | 55 Cyril Magnin St, San Francisco, CA

Chef Pim, the chef and restaurateur with 3 Michelin-starred restaurants, based in San Francisco and Bangkok just launched her cookbook, Cooking Thai — so naturally, I had to cook my way through it. 🍴

The only problem? I just moved and haven’t unpacked a single kitchen utensil. Priorities. 😂

I first went to @kinkhao back in 2021, and finally made my way to @nari_sf — another Michelin-starred Thai restaurant in San Francisco.

The cooking is subtle, elegant, and beautifully restrained. Not overly spicy, not aggressively bold, just layers of flavor that keep unfolding.

We had the fried Gaeng Kradang Tod, Squid & Pork Jowl, Miang Pla, Gaeng Bumbai Aubergine, and Prik Khing Gai — which was probably the biggest surprise of the night. So good, I’d happily have it on repeat.

And then came desserts, Dreaming of Lod Chong and Chocolate Loka. Both dangerously good.

Honestly, I’m already dreaming about them again. ✨

I once read about this new Thai restaurant in San Francisco. It was getting great reviews but a small little place. My husband (boyfriend at the time) & I met a friend there and loved every minute of it. Soon @kinkhao was awarded a Michelin star. So you can imagine I was pretty excited to receive @chezpim Cooking Thai with @andreanguyen88. It is gorgeous but also deeply personal. I focused in on the Burnt Eggplant Salad - I happened to have found fairy tale eggplants - and the best Thai grilled chicken ever. Obviously! A huge hit. Not a bit is left. Thanks for the free preview copy @tenspeedpress #thai #eggplants #thaifood #kitchenadventures

This is going to be a bold statement but the namprik long rua from @kinkhao might be my all-time favorite restaurant dish. The bowl in the middle has kapi shrimp paste relish, caramelized pork belly, and crispy catfish which combined is the most concentrated umami flavor I’ve ever tasted. It’s spicy, fishy, and tangy in the most delicious way. I genuinely can’t think of this dish without my mouth watering 🤤
