Kin Dee

There are pad see ew restaurants in this city, and you will discover one that makes you want to quit eating it. If you care about eating veggies, it's at Kin Dee, a colorful corner restaurant on Capitol Hill that serves tasty curries, stir fry, crispy sweet and sour chicken wings, and avocado fresh rolls. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the service is quite kind. Everything comes together to produce a terrific lunch or casual dinner.

A restaurant simple enough for takeaway stands at the entrance to Madison Valley, yet the street food-focused menu and windowed dining room are worthy of a real night out: Round sausages explode with garlic, a larb (aka salad) of crunchy mushrooms sprinkled in rice powder is almost oysterlike in flavor, and a trio of chicken drumsticks (along with a satisfyingly deep curry) ground the khao soi noodle dish. Pad thai, for example, is treated with the same attention.
