Kinnaree is our favorite Thai restaurant in the city! It's family owned and run, and it's clear that they take great pride in providing the highest quality service and food. I would highly recommend the kow pad fried rice, any of their curries, and all of their appetizers. Their iced coffee is also to die for!

This is our favorite Thai food place in the city of Chicago. The people are so nice. It is family owned. They are always very timely and always make modifications to accommodate my allergy. Their food is delicious. We go here at least once a week!

Way better than the place across the street, but worth calling ahead as they change hours sometimes for events. Support this delicious and heart filled family business!

We live in lake view east and have been searching for the best Thai food near. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants in my life and in this area. But not a lot that make you feel like home. The service is incredible, especially Paetai she is so kind, they overheard that it was my friend’s birthday and gave us free cake. The pad Thai, pad see ew, and curry were incredible. Portions are perfect and pricing is very fair. Whoever left a negative review clearly was having a bad day.

I was craving some nice Pad Thai for a while and tried this restaurant out as it's close to my place. Safe to say that it didn't disappoint. Will surely be going back to try the other dishes

I've come here often and it's always amazing, good service, great food, lovely earthy and comfortable atmosphere with the wood decor and plants, the food is always amazing. I've tried most things on the menu and have never been disappointed. Would heartily recommend coming if you're in Chicago and like Thai food!

Had a very enjoyable dinner at Kinnaree. It was our first time trying the restaurant so we came with another couple to make sure we can order a variety of food. All the food tasted great, full of flavour and spice level was good. We like the portion to price. Portions are not enourmous but neither is the price. This made it reasonable to order a variety. Our party of four ordered 3 appetisers and 4 entrees and one dessert. Family run business, which are like. Service was a bit slow but they get alot of carry out/delivery business so the kitchen gets very busy.
