Som tum platter and pork pad kra pao jumbo are among the dishes that made Kiin Thai Kitchen known, and the family-owned restaurant now sits at 234 Dominion Road in Mount Eden. We hear it moved to bigger premises on 18 June 2026, about 450 metres up the road from its previous site.
Somkiat, who has over 40 years of cooking experience, runs the kitchen. Other dishes include raw prawn salad, fried wonton with dry tom yum, and seasonal mango with butterfly pea sticky rice. The restaurant was named 2024 Supreme Winner in Metro's Top 50 Cheap Eats. Its som tum platter was in Metro's 2023 Top 50 dishes, and its tom yum soup was listed in the 2022 Auckland 100 iConic Eats.
