Stripped-back Pan-Asian/Thai restaurant celebrating 10 years on Leather Lane, in Clerkenwell. Our name comes from the Thai word for ‘eat’. Our menu, though, are inspired by travels across South-East Asia and show cases street food dishes across the region, with a strong emphasis on Thai food. To complement the food, we’ve carefully selected drinks that deliver on quality - from a range of award-winning artisan oriental teas to superb wines and craft beers brewed in London.

    Excellent option for mid-week casual dining. Tasty food and great ambience for a fair price.

    A Disappointing Experience at Kin I’d heard a lot of glowing reviews about Kin, so I was quite looking forward to our visit. Unfortunately, the experience was rather disappointing, largely due to the service. We arrived with one fewer guest than originally booked, as one of our party was unwell and couldn’t join. This seemed to irritate the host, who was noticeably displeased about the change. The reception felt rather cold and set an uncomfortable tone for the meal. We also had one guest arriving a bit later, so we ordered their meal in advance. When we asked if an extra plate might be provided to cover their food and keep it warm, we were told that this wasn’t possible, despite the fact that our own meals were served on plates. All in all, while Kin’s reputation had raised our expectations, the level of service fell short. We’d expected a more accommodating and welcoming experience.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m truly sorry your visit fell short of expectations, especially regarding the service. Please rest assured I’ll address this with the host who was on duty and provide further training to ensure a warmer welcome for our guests. I completely understand that plans can change, and I’m sorry your friend couldn’t join. We should have handled the situation with more understanding. As for keeping your late-arriving friend’s meal warm, we recognise there was a better solution, and I’ll work with the team to improve our approach in future. Thank you again for your feedback. I hope we can welcome you back for a much-improved experience.

    The food is always so good here but two of us were waiting quite a while for our mains a good 5-10 mins. we were on a lunch service and felt like we were rushed out as we only had the table for an hour.

    I really enjoyed my food here and it felt like authentic Thai food. It was filling but light. The spice was also right and they asked me how spicy I wanted it which was nice. Everyone was lovely. Food was quick but had to wait for the bill which was odd as there want many people there. Overall, I really enjoyed my/our experience here
