Kiin Kiin

Just. wow! If you’re American and used to Thai Food; I must warn you immediately that this is NOT the traditional Pad Thai/​Pad Kee Mao or even the Laab Na of your neighborhood Thai place! Instead you are treated to a wonderful spa-​like environment (relaxing and welcoming) and a true dining EXPERIENCE.
They serve nearly 21– small «tapas» style tastes of Thailand and other cuisine (Viet, Singapore and Japanese immediately come to mind).
The presentation and the explanations of each dish were thoughtful, fun and nothing short of amazing.
I called with a party of 8 on VERY short notice and they were able to accommodate us in their VERY cool wine cellar (complete with 900+ wicker baskets suspended from the ceiling).
We were there for a total of around 3 hours. So bring an appetite and be prepared for a bit of theater with your meals :)

Le meilleur resto thai fait en Europe de ma vie.
Pour moi il vaut 3 étoiles et je trouve dingue qu il n en ait pas 2. J ai écrit au Michelin pour râler lol.
Franchement allez y c est du grand art bien au delà de la cuisine il t à du génie vraiment pur dans l assiette et dans l ambiance extraordinaire de l endroit.
Je né veux pas trop en dire mais si vous aimez la grande cuisine et la Thaïlande vous né pouvez pas être déçu par ce merveilleux moment.
A faire et refaire ! C est un budget bien sûr mais ça les vaut largement !

So much fun! Each dish was creative and magical. I also loved that instead of a wine pairing, you could do a juice pairing, which really complimented the dishes by adding an extra ingredient. A wonderful dining experience!

Calling all Thai lovers! You MUST try Kiin Kiin if you are in Copenhagen! It is really such an aamzing experience and like nothing else. I came here with my good friend where we both love thai food.
You start downstairs having a welcome drink and trying different snacks. This really puts you in a relaxed and good mood for the meal. After the snacks, you are moved upstairs to your table. Each course was thought out… I really enjoyed the course with the dry ice and the noodle dish with the edible chopsticks. I chose the small wine menu which included 3 glasses and I think that fit very well with the menu. The only thing I may comment on is the service was a bit rushed at times and they seemed almost too busy, or a bit hectic. However, I recommend this place to everyone who wants a Michelin star experience with amazing presentation and thai food.

We were able to get in on short notice and so happy we did. This is one of two of the only Michelin Star Thai restaurants in the world. The atmosphere is stunning and from the moment you arrive you are taken on a culinary journey through Thailand. The reviews cover everything we had and 5-​star all the way. If you can get in, GO!

Best meal of my life. I don’t even know how many courses we had, a thousand?. From the friendly service, to the ingenious presentations, to the décor, this place was incredible. My wife and I did a wine pairing, and we were at the restaurant for nearly four hours. I recommend eating only a plaice of toast on the day of your reservation as you will definitely need the room. Also of note, my wife is a vegetarian, and they had no problem accommodating her. Simply fantastic.

My 1^st & only Michelin adventure. Whoa! Never has my dining experience been so fancy! If you can afford this, you will definitely enjoy it! Mind blown!!!

Finally been there tonight. Fantastic beginning and ending, nice chat with Chef Henrik Yde, (told him how bad the Dim Sum is). The whole dinning was an experience, nice and cozy. All food were prepared with delicacy and great effort, which put my personal preference to the last to judge. Loved it!

This is the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. My parents also agree. We have traveled the world and eaten at many incredible restaurants, but this was the best. The chef is innovative without going overboard and the flavors are incredible and intense. I have the fresh juice pairing with my meal — such a good decision. The juices themselves were exploding with fresh flavor. I hope to go back one day.

Thai food is rarely considered amplified to the level of fine dining, and before my girlfriend surprised me with a booking here during our recent holiday in Denmark, I didn’t know if I was walking into a spa or a lounge bar.
Greeted by the owner himself, Henrik was chatting to us and treating all his other patrons like welcoming a family with much pride and joy. For a fine dining establishment, it refutes the pretentious ambience in favour of a welcoming family home where the waiters are imbued with a casual, warm and inviting essence rather than solemn and robotic formality usually experienced at other reputable Michelin starred places.
The restaurant is split into two parts, we enter through the downstairs lounge, which is not too dissimilar to a Thai spa, with it’s down tempo music and dim speckled-​lighting softly illuminating the long room with low chairs. We were sat down to enjoy our canapés with drinks before being explained by a waiter the concept of the food and what we will experience.
The cosy environment continues upstairs into the main dining room as we were led to our candlelit round table. We chose our drinks options, my girlfriend opted for the three-​glass selection of best wines and I went for the six-​glass juice menu.
The Thai-​inspired taster course consisted of six savoury dishes and three desserts, plus the ten mini canapés earlier with the aperitifs. I tried their home brewed Kiin Kiin beer which was smooth and had light, refreshing citrus note.
The food was beyond excellent and I am so glad I got to sample Henrik’s menu, and tended to by his friendly waiters. The meal was not cheap at £330 in total for two people but the experience is not one I will ever forget or question it’s value. I left with a big smile on my face.
This place easily deserves a second Michelin star which I hope it does soon.

Everything was delicious and interesting! My low rating is because of the assault of appetizers that came right as we sat down and the owner’s snotty attitude when we complained about it. Was just a bit too fast.
Wouldn’t have even bothered me that much if the owner hadn’t been a total egotistical snob about my feedback. Instead of taking my feedback to heart he started lecturing me about how I should look not let little things detract from a good experience.
He even admitted that he’s heard this complaint many times before, yet he made it clear that he knew better than the people complaining. I was utterly appalled by his «I can do no wrong» attitude.

Absolutely One Of the Best restaurant experience, save up some money and Go all In. Then you will get a culinary rollercoaster tour. Thanks for a great evening.

Wow, Wow, Wow — also ich war ja schon öfter Thailändisch Essen, aber das war mit Abstand das beste Essen was ich seit langem hatte. Tolles Essen, tolle Weine. Ich wusste bisher nicht was man alles mit Essen anstellen kann. Ein absolutes Geschmackserlebnis, dass wirklich alle Sinne anspricht. Ambiente sehr nett, Service exzellent. Einziger Wermutstropfen (aber sicherlich gerechtfertigt) sind die Preise, die schon sehr hoch sind.

top notch. best food and experience ever! wait staff were so friendly and fun. and wow everything was incredible. the food was to die for. well worth it!

I was expecting a lot being that it is one of the two Michelin star Thai restaurants in the world. The pre-​appetizers that came out while we were waiting to be seated for dinner were excellent. The owner was there and was even serving us the pre-​appetizers and he told us a little bit of his story which was amazing to hear. When it came time for our testing menu dinner, everything tasted like it was made out of fish sauce and more fish sauce. The first 4 – 5 dishes tasted like it was drenched in fish sauce or they all carried the same flavors of lemongrass on everything. By the end of the night, we never wanted to see fish sauce or lemongrass again. The owner himself spent 4 years in Thailand and I’m guessing that those are 2 strong flavors that they had used over there, but when ordering a tasting menu, that’s all we were really tasting. I had hoped to see more diversity in the dishes as we had seen in the the pre-​appetizers. If the tasting menu were along the lines of those pre-​appetizers, it would have been spectacular. Based on that tasting menu, I would not return. Service was great from the owner and he was a pleasant person to speak with. Our waiter, who was from Vietnam as he told us and then said he wasn’t and then said he was, definitely took his time. Atmosphere is spectacular with the lanterns downstairs! We were there for 5 hours so we got really tired by the end.

Amazing food and experience overall. We went with the fixed menu, which they very attentively adapted to my dietary needs (no red/​white meat or shellfish). Some at our table did the wine pairing and some opted for the juice pairing… Both were fantastic. The atmosphere was gorgeous and comfortable. Potentially the fanciest meal I’ve ever had. Worth it!

Für mich war es das erste mal, dass ich bewusst im Sternerestaurant essen war und ich war total begeiestert. Man wird erst im Loungebereich in Empfang genommen, bekommt ein paar Snacks und einen Apperitif und dann geht es entweder in den Restaurantbereich oder den Weinkeller. Wir waren im zweiten und es war wirklich supergemütlich. Das Essen, anders als im Noma, überfordert einen nicht. Es gibt natürlich alles mögliche und nichts ist wirklich normal. Aber man bekommt nichts lebendiges oder sonstwie abschreckendes vorgesetzt. Der Service war jetzt nicht so toll, wie Yam Yam beschreibt, aber auch nichts, was einer Abwertung würdig wäre. Ich denke es ist aus gutem Grund das einzige Thairestaurant mit Stern außerhalb Thailands. Was ich auch bemerkenswert finde, es gibt ein Wein und ein alkoholfreies Menu zur Auswahl. Machte mir den Abend noch schmackhafter, da es statt Wasser dann auch mal selbstgemachten Eistee oder frische Ingwer-​Zitronenlimonade gab. Definitiv einen zweiten Besuch wert!!!

The extremely attentionate and nice service is what I would remember most.
The starters were all very good (oh, that extremely tender snail…), and well presented. However, we felt slightly rushed…
The main meal itself was an avalanche of various flavours and textures (orchids flowers a must !)
The plates were also very well decorated, yet simple.
We ate a lot, but we didn’t feel full at all.
Attention is paid to every detail in the deco as well, with the lounge area, and the bathroom being particularly nice.
Perhaps the only let-​down is the location: in a standard building, opposite a cemetary…
Still, I would go back: o)

Thailänder der Spitzenklasse! Sehr warmer Empfang, herzliche und ‘echte’ Bedienung (kein Gestelze). Es gibt nur 1 Menü. Wir hatten dazu die Weinreise und auch die Saftreise gewählt (beides sehr zu empfehlen!).
Es gab Zahlreiche Zwischengänge, welche nicht auf der Karte zu finden waren.
Es gab für ein Sternerestaurant unerwartet ‘viel’ zu essen, alles kleine Kunstwerke!
Absolute Empfehlung!

This is one of the two Michelin star Thai restaurants in the world. The atmosphere is trendy yet cozy. Interesting items, we had the valentine’s day menu, my memorable items were appetizers, coconut soup, and red curry. The rest was just ok. I am not sure what we were really expecting from Kiin Kiin perhaps a bit more flavor, but I rather go to my local take away place, Thai Lana, which is extremely flavorful.
