Kinnara Thai - Van Nuys

After reading some positive reviews, I decided to try this restaurant for lunch for the first time. I was pleased with both the food and the atmosphere. The interior was clean, modern, and colorful, with a touch of whimsy from the sheer drapes and bright lights. I ordered the Pad See Ewe, which was delicious with a generous portion size. The flavors were a nice balance of sweet and savory, although the meat was a bit dry. My only issues were with the slow, but friendly service, and the parking lot, which is not ideal for larger vehicles.

This restaurant is the best I have tried in the Valley when it comes to freshness and quality of ingredients. While it may be more "Cal Thai" than the authentic places further east on Sherman Way, it is definitely worth a visit. I anticipate it will become increasingly popular as it is only a few months old.

I also tried the Jade (green) chicken curry, which was delicious with fresh basil and the perfect amount of coconut milk. I was pleased to find that they offer brown rice, which is not common at all Thai restaurants. "Chef Kevin" has become my go-to chef for Sunday nights. The restaurant is located in the same complex as Starbucks on Sherman Way between Haskell and Sepulveda. I hope Kinnara gains popularity quickly so I can continue enjoying their Pad Thai for years to come. Kudos to Chef Kevin and the team at Kinnara!

Super good Thai food,it is authentic ! Many options for vegetarian aswell. Loved it !

I used to eat here every week. Sad that I moved to a different city now, as this is still the best Thai food place I've visited so far.
