Quaint and Cozy – This place has a pleasant atmosphere and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I had the Drunken Noodles and they were made to perfection. The Chicken was tender and juicy and had just the right spice. My friend ordered the Chicken Satay and the Yellow Curry, both of which were really good. The food looked, smelled and tasted great. If I am in the neighborhood, I will go again and again!
Best Thai Food in town! – My husband and I are in love with this place!!!! Their drunken noodles and pork panang are the best. And oh ya, let me not forget about their fresh(really fresh!) spring rolls. If you're Thai food lover like we are, Kinara is the place for you! The owner and other staffs are really nice and graceful. Great location, atmosphere, prices and most of all really goooooood Thai food.
DeepDeepx] – A realistic Thai FOODS. I been there with my parents once and never thought it would be that good. None Thai restaurant had ever have my heart. But this Thai restaurant definitely won it. They made the most delicious Thai foods[real toox)]. Well you know that not that much kids love Thai restaurant. Well I'm just a teenage...and really I do think this Thai restaurant is really was made for kids and all kinds of people.
Why didn't I find this place sooner? – I met a friend for lunch at this "hole in the wall" place only to experience the best service and Thai food I've had in Portland. It's small but the food is very fresh and delicious; plus, the service is exceptionally pleasant and grateful. I will definitely go back and I think you should try it!
A Disappointment – A pleasing staff and ambience, but gastronomically not so pleasing. We ordered the stir fried mango chicken dish and while it and the side dishes were very artfully arranged, the end result was one of are considerable gastric distress. Although the menu stated stir fried, the chicken was really deep fried to the point of petrification resulting in nearly fossilized hard lumps of meat within a thick dense encrustation of grease. It's too bad; with all of the previous positive reviews I was really prepared f... read more
A very pleasant surprise – I literally just finished my takeout lunch from this place and felt compelled to write. It was AMAZING. I had a thai beef salad with the leanest flank steak, fabulously fresh organic salad greens, and a to-die-for lime dressing with a spicy/sweet/sour combination. The service here is also top-notch. Very friendly. I will be back....maybe for lunch tomorrow?
A true diamond in the rough – This place is truly a diamond in the rough. Kinara is a little off the beating path. The way I know about it is that I take MAX to work and I go right past it twice a day. Anyhow, Kinara has caught my attention for the longest time for whatever reason. Tonight my wife and I did something about it as my curiosity got the best of me. When we arrived, we noticed how clean the place was. The place is a little small, but it has a neat kind of eclectic look to it. The staff were very friendly. The mus... read more
Favortie thai place in portland – excellent food and service. Specials are always great. I eat here atleast once a week. Atmosphere is great, service is great, and they do togo and deleveries!
Wonderful: Warm, Tasty, Different – This Thai Bistro is wonderful- I felt compelled to write this review in light of the review just posted. I don't typically write reviews on City Search (this is the 2nd one I have ever done in my life), but the review below- to me- is horribly misleading. In short- Kinara is warm, is good, and is a little bit different. I go there often and I am a self-confessed foodie. I love a range of foods and a range of Thai and this bistro definitely satisfies on alot of fronts. I am just about to or... read more
