"4.5 stars. Reviews for this place are all over the board so I 'm not sure what 's going on. We went on a Saturday for dinner and there were only about 10 people there. My wife ordered the pad Thai and was not impressed. I tried it and it was fairly light on flavor. The noodles were also cut, maybe 1 inch long, instead of served in the traditional way. All the tables also had forks and you had to ask for chopsticks, which seemed odd. We were the only ones using chopsticks. I ordered the pad See lew and it was the most flavorful pad See lew I 've had. It was also spicy, which took me off guard. We had the satay appetizer, which was great. Cooked well and flavorful. We also ended up ordering the mango sticky rice and it was the best I 've ever had. The service for us was fine, as expected. The cost before tax and tip (no drinks) was $55. The couple next to us said their food was good as well. I know this place is fairly new and maybe they are still finding their groove with their operations based on previous reviews. This place does feel like a mom and pop place, but they had 3 people working front of house and 1 or 2 in the kitchen. I suspect they may be trying to adjust the food and approach for the typical clientele in Denver, but they don 't need to. I will go back because honestly this is some of the best Thai food in Denver."

"I was pleasantly surprised with a few Thai places I had in portland, but kinara many dishes tasted completely different and missing aromen and flavored. with all the Rave reviews, I was caught by the watch of the Bland dishes that had only one taste. sugar. taste completely different from all places I had on my many culinary trips to Thailand. also the bad, very western Thai restaurants here have more taste directions and complexity than the dishes of kinara. I had a great food in Thailand and also had many good and bad Thai foods all over the world. but the three best Thai dishes I've ever had were from kinara this evening. Incredible dishes:-grounded noodles: the noodles were cooked too long, making the entire dish extremely soggy and disgusting. I don't remember the last time I had nuds with this bad texture and overcooked! had very moderate taste.-Pong ga ree prawns: much too sweet. that is all they can taste in this dish.- Green chicken curry: another dish, that was too sweet. another dish that all they could taste was an overkilling of the sweet. Mediocre dishes:-green Papaya salad: nothing to write home. it needed more acid. at least this court was edible. -Lettuce wrap larb: the taste and the spice of the ground huh was good and quite authentic. However, the ground chicken was so dry that it made this dish quite bad. if they cooked the ground huh, this dish would have been great. good dishes:-Nom jean pla: this was the only dish that they cook an authentic work and had various aromes and flavors similar to taste that they would find in a restaurant in Thailand. I had to pour this sauce into other dishes to save these dishes."
