A relic of Michelin days past. A decade or two ago, this was likely a ground breaking experience in light handed fusion of Royal Thai cuisine in a French haute cuisine format, but times and trends have moved on, and Kiin Kiin has not evolved or kept pace with what’s available on the international scene in its class of restaurant at this price point.
I can see how this must have burst onto the scene so long ago, because the concept is interesting; the 6 amuse bouche/ snacks to start the meal are innovative in their mix of traditional flavours, spice, heat and textures and were one of the highlights. But as the meal progressed some of the table side theatrics just began to feel unnecessary and almost detracted from the actual quality of the cooking.
Asian diners familiar with fine dining or the Michelin and even non Michelin accredited establishments in South East Asia will likely be disappointed here because the flavours are familiar but not elevated enough for them to appreciate.
That said, anyone who is less familiar or just craving a light haute cuisine Asian experience for date night or a special occasion will enjoy the evening.
The environment and decor is a little dated and lacks the refinement and sophistication of other establishments at this price point. But it’s still comfortable and… maybe a little too warm. The AC here is stuffy so try to be seated near a window so you can personally modulate the draft from the window yourself.
The aromatic crab curry with home made rice noodle was a highlight. The curry is delicate enough to be turned into an espuma which highlights the delicate flavour and aromatics. Many of the other dishes felt very heavy handed in salt and acid and lacked the sophistication and execution of this dish. And like I said before, some of the fussiness took away from the actual good cooking of the kitchen. Not so in this dish.
Service was pleasant and the establishment is run by a mostly Asian crew predominantly Thai in ethnicity to give it that exotic feeling. They seem to enjoy entertaining you and helped to make the night more of an experience.

Lots of fireworks and patents, but the food doesn't always add up. Despite that, a good restaurant.

Vi havde glædet os til at smage thai gourmet med Michelin kvalitet på Kiin Kiin. Vi fik tasting menu med tilhørende vinmenu. De 6 små forretter/snacks var fantastiske, små oplevelser med overraskendende former og smage - virkeligt gode. De 2 reelle forretter i menuer var også virkeligt flotte og store oplevelser. Men men de 3 hovedretter var alt for salte, smagte godt men så saltede at de nærmest var uspiselige. Vi spiser selv en del salt på mad, men her havde kokken tabt saltbøtten og lige givet det et ekstra pift - det er ikke godt nok smagt til på hvilken som helst restaurant!! Vinmenuen blev desværre overdøvet af de salte hovedretter. Så 4 stjerner med en stor pil ned

A very nice meeting with asian cousine in Nørrebro, CPH! Try to avoid basement seating when you book, as it is too noisy for this price category (pipes). Very nice service, then again, basement seating gives you a sneaky feel that you are forgotten..

Perfect place to host an event! I cannot wait to enjoy it again. One of the very best dining experiences in the world.
We had snacks, 2 main courses, dessert with a juice pairing. Chef is so talented & the owner Benjamin is an amazing host. So very kind. The servers were so pleasant and attentive.
A mind blowing experience and every dish was ✨️art✨️.
The kind of craft and innovation is on an S-tier for me. I totally understand why it is so celebrated. The food is especially flavourful and they put plenty of thought into their juice pairings (no alcohol pairings can be requested).

Incredible fine dining experience! Each dish was an explosion of flavour, resonant in the language of Thai cuisine. Almost everything was perfect but the music was a bit cheesy, almost muzak-esque. Might be nicer if they used some modern Thai jazz or something else from that sphere (without becoming a parody of itself)

“Atmospherically a great restaurant with very good service. Fantastic starters followed by good main courses. It's exciting to experience what Thai dishes taste like when they are prepared to Michelin standards.
Price: 900-1500 KR per person.”
