Kin Saep in San Diego

Wanted to try the place that took over So saap and Im so glad I did! This is a convenient location for me right off the freeway when I need my lao food fix. Today I ordered the supreme papaya salad which comes with vermicelli noodles. I also ordered nam khao, pad Thai, and khao piak sen. Everything was good and I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes. I ordered online and it texted me to let me know my food was ready. (Appreciated that as I hate going in just to wait)Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I believe they’re in their soft opening phase but please give them a try if you get a chance!

This place was formerly So Saep and now under new name and ownership. Max occupancy for this place is 18.It was the Lao Pho that caught our eye since the other known place that we know serve this dish is in OC.We got Lao pho, Crab fried rice, Fried chicken wing, Chicken satay and Panang curry.For drinks we got Thai tea which was sweeter than my liking. The cococane was refreshing and naturally sweet. Fresh sugar cane with real slices of coconut.We came during lunch and the service was super quick and everything tasted delicious. In and out within one hour.The chicken satay is on the dry side but dipping in the peanut sauce made it better. The curry was a level 6 spice but it was not spicy and my tolerance is low. My new favorite place for crab friend rice. Lao pho tasted like viet pho and even better than some viet pho places.Overall, we will for sure come back for the other dishes.

This has to be one of my most favorite places to eat that’s is around my neighborhood. The food was a solid 10/10, the customer service and staff were both very amazing. The atmosphere and dine in options are both very nice and welcoming, if you are around the neighborhood I suggest trying Kin Saep.

My lady and I had an amazing experience here. We drove from Palm Springs and needed out Lao food fix. Exceeded beyond our expectations. Everything we ordered was amazing. We got the supreme papaya salad, shrimp spring roll, pork neck, crying tiger, and few other things. Very rare you go to a restaurant and literally everything is at minimum a 9/10. Only thing is wished our papaya salad had the whole crabs in it rather than mixed in. The owner was an extremely friendly and gave great recommendations and was cool guy to talk to. Next time we are in the area it’s mandatory for us to come back and support and try some new stuff. 10/10 food quality and service must try.

If you haven’t yet tried Kin Seap restaurant by Market street! Go check them out! They just recently open and their food is good! They took over Soo Saap’s old location spot. Go support them 🙏🏻💕.I got their Khaopoon and their Sausages and cococane juice and my bf had their Boat noodles. Everything was soo Delicious and crave satisfied! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to give them a try and support them.💕

I ordered the Thai papaya salad and chicken pad Thai! It was the best papaya salad I had in SD thus far. They nailed the flavoring for the salad down! The pad Thai noodle were cooked just right! You should check this place out if you in the mood for Thai!

Crispy mango shrimp and spicy basil fried rice was our absolute favorite! With everything we ordered we loved each and every item! You can tell a TON of love was put into making the food! Definitely give them a 10/10 with food, service, and overall experience!

This place took over one of our favorite local Thai/Lao restaurants, So Saap. Its a nice convenient location for us, so we decided to give Kin Saep a try due to all of the fantastic reviews we saw. This place did not disappoint! The food was incredible and so was the service! They are thoughtful of how they prepare the food for you and also ask questions to ensure it fits your pallette or dietary needs. We will definitely continue to come here whenever we having a craving for great street food! Thank you!

Tonight was my first time trying this place. Ordered through DoorDash. I got the tofu spring rolls, veggie egg rolls, khao piek, and pad se ew. All of these items were sooooo good and arrived in perfect condition. I’m definitely going to be visiting in person. Awesome food with a great depth of flavors. Definitely a lesser known treasure.

Absolutely loved this place, I love how local and near it is to me. The food here was one of the best I’ve had, I will definitely be coming here more often.
