Reviews for Kindee Thai Restaurant in Vancouver, WA
This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. It felt like one of those rare, Narnia-esque experiences ---It's a place I likely won't... get the chance to eat at again but will think of whenever I am confronted with Thai food. I had to make a trek down toWashougal, WA to pick up a special order at the Pendleton store. My mom and I decided to find a Thai restaurant on the way back.This place was unassuming, so I wasn't expecting much. I am so glad I was wrong. The service was friendly, courteous, and fast.The food was fresh and presented outstandingly well. Seriously, hip seattle joints should take notes from this place. The papayasalad looked like an actual work of art. I wasn't thinking I'd eat much, but I was so hungry and every dish came out so onpoint, that my appetite expanded. My mom and I split crunchy tofu, crab puff wontons, a papaya salad and tofu pad thai. Wefinished off the meal with the mango sticky rice served with ube ice cream. My pictures don't do these dishes justice, but youwill know that once you see them for yourselves. You will not regret the trip to this store. Read more

So this is the new tradition. Go to yard sales in the morning and when you can't look at one more box of Depends or one more... rack of generic glassware, I cut the treasure route and look for good food. Seriously though, I find great stuff at Yard salesand don't want to insult the Yard Sale Gods... Seriously. There is no better way to end a day of treasure hunting than findingculinary gold, preferably broth. Kindee Thai has that homey welcoming look that so many places lack. nice colors, nice decor,plants. I don't understand why more Asian places don't do this. sometimes it seems like a choice to be as bland and unremarkableas possible. Kindee makes me want to come in, it makes me predisposed to like the meal, although I have been tricked in thepast. Today I choose the Kao Soi, I love a good light curry and I love noodles like a madman loves the moon. First, the crispynoodles seem to come rioting up out of the bowl like tangle of wisteria vines. They guide the eye down into the brothy depths.The next impression is the bowl is too big, the broth looks a little lost in the great bath of a bowl. It's an illusion, thereis plenty, but they should put it in a smaller bowl so it doesn't look so lonely. That being said, it's a great bowl of currybroth. The noodles deep down in the murky depths are nicely mixed and have good lift. Long slightly tangled chewy noodles thatsimply cry out for a good slurp. The curry broth is spot on. Perfect depth and richness, savory and slightly sweet. I can eathere again. They ask if I would like a touch more heat and bring me a nice little selection of hot condiments. That earns thempoints in my book. I prefer a red chili oil and often, if a place has hot sauce, it's just one kind. Yes my nose runs like adog escaping the animal control truck, Like an old tent in a rainy wood. But not so hot I can't taste the curry, the crunch ofred onion, the fresh lime. Jeez, I'm making. myself hungry again just thinking about it. Right dow Read more

Excellent (IMHO)Thai food. Ordered Pad Basil w/beef and Yellow curry w/pork. Also Papaya Salad (sum tom) and salad rolls with... shrimp. All dishes were authentic and flavorful. The Yellow curry was our favorite. Highly recommended. Read more
And overall pleasant experience at Kindee Thai. The Larb was a bit on the salty side but hey, it's an Asian restaurant, what do... you expect. The crispy duck wasn't too dry like often happens with this recipe and was paired with a tasty, mild Curry sauce.I'll be ordering that one again. The salmon Pra Ram with peanut sauce was delicious except for one issue with the salmon beingovercooked and dry. I'll have to remind them not to overcook it next time. Thai iced coffee is extremely sweet, be prepared forthat. The Tom kha soup was spot-on and the main reason why, along with the prompt courteous service, I will be returning Read more
Wow! The pad see ew is arguably the best in Vancouver, the noodles are perfect texture and the sauce is tasty! The Thai tea is... definitely the best in the area, it is NOT watered down and has full flavor. It?s been years since I?ve been to Kindee Thai butI?ll be back soon :) Read more
