Kin Khao Thai Restaurant

About

In Kin Khao Thai, 23 years of culinary expertise has turned a modest Athlone eatery into Ireland’s premier destination for authentic Isaan Thai cuisine. The restaurant’s gleaming Michelin Plaque, awarded for outstanding quality and consistency, underscores the kitchen’s commitment to genuine flavours and spices sourced from every region of Thailand. Its head chefs, hailing from the northeast of Thailand, bring family‑recipe dishes such as fiery green papaya salad, grilled pork belly and steaming curries that capture the essence of home cooking. Menus rotate seasonally, allowing guests to experience the freshest regional ingredients and the rich heritage of Thai street food, all served in a warm, contemporary setting. Dining at Kin Khao Thai is an immersive experience—tables are set for family and friends, a variety of gluten‑free, vegan and vegetarian options are offered, and late‑night whisky or wine pairings complete the meal. With a friendly staff who handles reservations by credit card to deter no‑shows, the restaurant remains open from 5 pm to 9 pm on weekdays, and 4 pm to 10 pm on weekends, ensuring visitors can enjoy a stand‑alone dinner or a cosy late‑night bite.
