Reviews
I love this place and eat here way too much! They have ruined all other Pad Thai for me because I can't find another place that uses the same noodles as them. The only thing is I wish they went higher on the spice! I got a 10/10 the other day and still had to add some more spice to it. But otherwise I'm a huge fan and love the flavor. Their Pad Thai and the Curry Fried Rice are pretty special and I crave both all the time! Service is fast. I don't dine in often, but it's super fast casual and cute inside.
I recently dined at Kinaly Thai Express in Escondido, and it was so much fun from start to finish. The vibe of the restaurant is incredibly cute, featuring big statues of food and boba that are perfect for taking pictures with. The atmosphere blends an upscale street food feel with the comfort of an air-conditioned space, creating a great spot for a pleasant lunch. Our dishes came out quickly, allowing us to enjoy our meal together without any delay. The standout for me was the garlic pepper chicken with medium spice. It disappeared from all of our plates in no time. The boba was a sweet relief on a hot day for two reasons. One, because it was delicious. Two, as someone sensitive to dairy products, I was pleased to find that their boba was made with non-dairy creamer! Yay! I have a couple of minor complaints. The toilet is quite loud, which is REALLY startling, and there was no ice available in the machine for our water. These small inconveniences are why I couldn't give Kinaly Thai Express a perfect five star rating, but still loved the stop, especially because of the charming ambiance, tasty dishes, and cute decor. I do recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for some quick thai-riffic cuisine!
Delicious!! After trying many different Thai restaurants I thought I would give this place a try. Let's just say I was not disappointed! Upon entering I was immediately greeted with a smile and by very friendly staff. This is at around 4:00pm on a Saturday. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken but I also wanted shrimp. I asked for the spice level (4) thinking I would be fine. Not long after I waited for my to-go order the food was ready. Talk about express, WOW! Came home, ate, and by the before and after pictures I shared it was absolutely delicious! The right amount of spice, there was an even amount of chicken and shrimp. And now I'm satisfied! I will definitely be back and try something else!
Great Thai Food joint in a well known shopping center. They also have boba, teas, and imported sodas. Service is fast! I ordered at the cashier in the front, had a seat and about five minutes later my order (three kings, with a side of white rice and a milk tea with boba) was delivered to my table. The place is small... I think five tables. They have a couple tables outside. Five stars for a delicious, flavorful meal.
My favorite, we order to go ALOT!!! Excellent food and service, best Thai restaurant in Escondido, great customer service.
