Thrilled to have such a great local Thai inspired brunch spot in Daly City! No more having to go to congested areas in SF for yummy French toast and Eggs Benedict!
I first came here with a big group for dinner and we were really excited to try all the dishes. We loved the cutlery, furniture, decor, and overall ambience of the restaurant. Very sleek, mid-century modern. But what I immediately noticed is that it is COLD inside. I thought I saw vents on the walls, but I guess they either have no heater or it is not operational right now. There were portable heaters, but only at the tables by the door. I wore layers so I wasn't too chilly, but I could imagine someone shivering if they only wore thin layers.
We wanted to try a bit of everything, and ended up getting: tom yum soup, green curry, fried chicken wings, crab fried rice, pad Thai, pad see ew, and Thai tea. Everyone seemed to like all the dishes, including myself and I'm somewhat picky! I definitely liked the pad see ew more over the pad Thai. The PSE had more of a caramelized char taste which I liked. The pad Thai was too sweet for me. Another favorite was the tom yum. It was so flavorfully tangy and coconut-ty! It had a good amount of seafood as well. The fried chicken wings were also good and wish we had ordered more.
We didn't see it on the menu, but asked if they had mango sticky rice for dessert. They do, just ask for it! It was beautifully presented with the warm coconut drizzled rice surrounded by finely sliced pieces of mango. Usually at cheap joints, the mango is hard and not ripe, but thankfully that was not the case here. It wasn't perfect, but at least it was still lightly sweet and tender.
I have gone back to try their brunch menu and thought it was okay. We got the vegetarian omelette, the pork belly, and the banana french toast. The pork belly was a bit too heavy and oily to have eaten for an early meal. It came with roasted brussel sprouts and potatoes, but it was swimming in all the oil from the meat so it wasn't too appetizing. It was also a bit too sweet to pair it with the starchy potatoes. I couldn't eat too much there but took the leftovers back to eat later with rice and it was much more satisfying.
The standouts are definitely the sweet dishes because the french toast was DELICIOUS! Three thick slices of toast lightly fried to a perfect golden color accompanied by pieces of fried bananas and a caramelized banana sliced in half. Dressed with fresh berries and a mouth watering house made(?) coconut milk syrup. YUM!
Now on to the negatives...
THE COLD: Definitely ruins the experience a little, even in the daytime because Daly City is so foggy and cold. I noticed that our food got cold FAST. For me personally, cold food is the worst. It affects the taste and also my mood when it becomes cold. Those sensitive to colder climates will no doubt dislike dining in too.
THE SERVICE: The server we had for dinner was almost as cold as the interior was that night. She did not seem friendly or have an approachable demeanor. When we ordered or requested follow up, she did not say anything or acknowledged that she heard us. She simply walked away and I was like huh? The servers in the daytime were much more friendly, so it made up for before I guess.
THE PRICES: Yes, a bit high. I would not go regularly because of that, only for occasions when I want to self indulge.
For dinner and splitting the cost evenly, it just came out to about $30 per person. That's not bad! Although in reality, we mostly sampled all the dishes and didn't eat as much as we normally did. I honestly was hungry again a few hours later. For brunch, the cost was a bit more, especially with drinks and gratuity. I dislike the payment method they use. It is a mobile device that they hold while you enter in the gratuity, so you're given no privacy or time to select. Shown by default, the choices are from largest to lowest, I think from 25% to 18%. That's kinda steep! I'm sure there was a "Customize" option, but it wasn't prominent and I ended up tipping way more than I should've, something like 25%, because one of my items were to go and wasn't even eaten there. Just keep that in mind when going.
WOULD I GO BACK? Yes, for sure! Despite its flaws, this place is still a standout in DC and I will happily recommend it and take guests to get their brunch, especially the sweet dishes!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 466129351Aug 19, 2024
Kan Kiin Eatery has a thai fusion vibe nestled in the heart if Daly City. This is the kind of place you don't expect to find in a strip mall. This Daly City spot is shaking up the Thai food scene with its seriously good brunch and dinner menu. It's like your favorite Thai takeout got a fancy upgrade. Now it's gotten in the Michelin guide, definitely hit it up before lines get too long.
Their brunch game is on point. The Hat Yai Chicken and Waffles is pure genius - crispy chicken with a Thai twist, stacked on fluffy waffles and drizzled with a sweet and spicy sauce. It's the kind of dish that will make you rethink your brunch plans.
The menu is has plenty of selection but with every dish showing off the chef's skills. The Kan KIIN French toast is delicious as well as the luscious corn cake crab Benedict.
If you're craving classic Thai flavors, don't worry, they've got you covered. The drunken noodle (Pad Kee Mao) is packed with flavor. And the Khao Soi? This Northern Thai noodle soup is comfort food at its finest.
Kan Kiin has a chill vibe that's perfect for a casual hang with friends or a low-key date night. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help you pick the perfect dish.
If you're looking for a fresh take on Thai food, Kan Kiin Eatery is an absolute must-try. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 30, 2024Updated reviewSeated via Yelp Reservations
I've been here twice now- once when they first opened and again just a few nights ago because they were "Michelin Guided". I would consider myself a Thai food connoisseur, and traveling to Thailand I've had some good authentic Thai food. This place, idk how they got Michelin guided but it is not that great. The hype could be for their brunch, but their dinner is not great.
First time we ordered the beef massuman curry (2/5) and the larb (3/5). Beef curry was very sweet- and I'm Filipino, I like things sweet, but it was very sweet. Larb was fine, flavor was lacking (should be more punchy) and
we ordered a side of rice and the portion was so small, it didn't even fill up the bowl.
This time we ordered the chicken pad Thai (3/5), papaya salad (4/5), chicken wings (3/5)(because they sold out the hat yai fried chicken), and Thai fried rice (3/5)
Chicken pad Thai was dry- I typically like mine more saucy but this could be a personal preference. The flavor was fine, but I've had better.
Service was okay- they seem understaffed and we needed to ask for things like our drinks and a box twice.
The space is gorgeous, but that is about as good as this place gets.
Unfortunately I will not be returning, as there are plenty of better Thai restaurants in my opinion in the area or in sf.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 28, 2023Previous reviewReviewing for a door dash order:
We ordered Chicken Laab, Beef Pad See Ew, Chicken Yellow Curry with Roti, Spicy Basil Chicken, Papaya Salad and Pork Belly Stew with Eggs.
Flavor was 5/5, everything was robust with all the flavors I was hoping for. Choosing the spice level was nice, we got milk for most things, and it was a true mild. Just a very subtle kick. The items that were intended to be spicy- Papaya salad and Spicy basil chicken were definitely coming in with a good Thai spicy.
The downside was that the portions are a little small. - Amy F.San Francisco, CA02423Aug 18, 2024
Amazing food, great service, and clean.
My childhood friend and I went here for a late lunch. We ordered the chicken and waffles, house special porridge, and Thai eggs Benedict.
I can't wait to come back with my family.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 30, 2024
This place was super busy and probably had to wait half an hour to get a table. We were seated very quickly and the staff were nice but the food took super long to come out. They probably wanted everything to come out at once, which did. The porridge had a Tom yum mix in it that I was not use to, but the crispy pork was good. The steak and fried rice were just okay because the steak was way too salty. My favorite part of this meal was the matcha pancake, it was fluffy, sweet but not too sweet

I've been here twice and enjoyed both times. The customer service is great--they're very attentive, and the interior decor is beautiful. The presentation is also gorgeous, and the portions are big with a decent-sized menu. However, parking is tough on weekends, which can be frustrating.
Overall, while the food is good, it's not particularly memorable. It's a nice spot to visit, but while the flavors are decent, nothing stands out as exceptional enough to crave, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. Still, it's worth a try!Helpful 5Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1 - Aug 11, 2024
Definitely one of the more unique brunch places I've tried!
We dropped in around 11:20 am for a table of 2 on a Saturday. The wait was only about 10-15 minutes before we were seated at a larger table with notice we may have to share a table with another party. But within 5 minutes of discussing the menu, a table opened up and we were able to move to a table of our own.
What we got:
- Corn Fritters~ definitely a great appetizer for the table. I recommend dipping this into maple syrup from another dish to add extra sweetness to pair with the corn.
- "hat yai" Fried chicken and vanilla waffle~ Similar to a regular chicken and waffle, this dish did not miss. The fried chicken was flavorful from the extra seasoning. Crispy and juicy.
- Crispy Pork Belly Porridge Jok~ This dish was unique. The tom yum flavor shines through and the pork belly retains its crispiness despite being in porridge. Unfortunately, the fried dough wasn't as fluffy as I expected it. Note: The dish is definitely on the thicker side. For those who prefer a thinner jok, this may not be the dish for you.
All in all, this place was decently unique compared to all the typical modern Asian brunch places in the bay. Will return to try other dishes that also caught my eye!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 8, 2024
I came here because my friend desperately has been wanting to try this place. I was hesitant because of the mixed reviews, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and can't wait to come back for brunch. The food came out quick and was full of flavor.
The space is airy and beautiful with hanging plants and mirrors along the walls. The two servers were extremely patient and friendly with me when I couldn't decide what to order.
Looks at the pics....thats what you should definitely get : PHelpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 27, 2024
I went on a Saturday at 10:15am and half of the place was already full! The staff were very attentive and the ambiance was modern, clean, and aesthetically pleasing.
What we ordered:
*Chicken Wings - a must! The batter is light but it's crispy and seasoned very well. The sauce is very uniquely Thai - really reminds me of Thailand :) It tastes like a garlicky infused syrup that's slightly tangy
*Golden Pork - also a uniquely Thai flavor. It tastes like a stewed pork and boiled egg dish called "pa lo." It was a little too salty and sweet on its own but with a bowl of rice, this dish would have been 10/10
*Tom Yum Jok (congee) - this dish was a miss unfortunately :( the Chinese donut (called "pa tong go") in Thai was deliciously crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside. However, the jok was sour and bland. It tasted like plain congee with a bit of vinegar. Tom Yum is sour, but I feel like it's also umami and salty, and the jok was missing that umami/salty factor. I think those flavors are what make jok/congee so comforting.
I'd still come back because other dishes look yummy (and for the chicken wings hehe)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 11, 2024
Parking here is a nightmare! It's right in the middle of a bunch of restaurants, shopping centers, and residential areas. I came here with some friends after spotting a post about it on Instagram, and honestly, it turned out to be one of those places that look better than they taste.
The menu is huge, with lots of options to choose from. But the service? So slow. It took about 20 minutes just to get my matcha drink. And the pork belly benedict? Totally not what I expected. It was just a huge slice of pork belly, not even crispy, and everything else was just kind of thrown on the side.
On the plus side, the portions are massive--we all had leftovers to take home. But nothing we ordered really stood out, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars, plus the slow service didn't help.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - 44435Jul 24, 2024
I came here for brunch with my nieces. It was a very nice and clean place to eat. The wait staff was helpful and patient.
The classic Benedict was okay but what's great is that the egg was not overcooked. I think I should've something a bit more special but it was not bad.
My nieces really liked the porridge and the scramble bacon egg. The sizes were very generous and the drinks were delicious.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
