"KinSen recently had their grand opening earlier this month and is so new that they don’t even have signages up yet other than a small neon sign by the window. You can easily walk by and not notice they are open. They took over the former Dek Sen location so it’s the same tight space, perhaps even tighter as they have gotten rid of the permanent outdoor dining structure in front. The interior has undergone some updates; I saw new flooring, updated light fixtures and new tables and chairs.We ordered Moo Ping (pork skewers), Goong Pair (shrimp fritters), Beef Pad See Ew, and Chiken Pad Thai. For dessert we got the Lava Cake and the Roti Hot Plate.My favorite dish were the shrimp fritters. These were the tiniest shrimps I’ve ever eaten but it really worked in this dish. The shrimp was breaded and deep fried with a side of vinegar dipping sauce. I could see this as a good dish paired with beer. And I thought the pork skewers were quite tasty. I found the flavor and texture of the pork to very good.The Pad See Ew was okay. I was missing the smokey flavor in the beef, but it was fine as a whole. The Pad Thai was another solid dish. We requested that it not be spicy as we had children with us, but we found it still had quite a kick to it. I personally liked it with a bit of spice but just be aware when ordering this. As for the dessert, the lava cake was a hit. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and was devoured. I’m not sure I would order the Roti Hot Plate again. While I did like the presentation, I thought it was too sweet and the roti did not hold up well when the sauce was dripped on. Dek Sen had a version of this in their menu and they executed it much better.I am planning on coming back to try more of their noodle dishes as they had quite a few listed that I am not familiar with. Noodles (sen), as part of the restaurant’s name, are prominent in the menu. Overall, I think this is a good spot if you are looking for authentic Thai food, but I would say not as good as it’s predecessor, Dek Sen (whom I’ll miss forever and will live in my memories).Tip1: they are cash onlyTip2: they are closed for a break from 3-4pm"
