Kinaly Lao & Thai Restaurant (Carlsbad)

Love this little place! Food is yummy, and the portions are a great size! I keep coming back to try different dishes, and they’ve always been tasty!

Very good curry and pad Thai.

Not Laos not Thai not Vietnamese. Nothing authentic ! Disappointed Don’t go there

If you’re looking for NOT AUTHENTIC Thai / Lao cuisine, this place is for you. I ordered the beef laab expecting to get a lot of mint cause it’s usually served that way and when the dish came out there wasn’t any. I spoke to the server and she said she saw the chef add some. Clearly no where to be found in the salad but I believed her and I simply asked for extra mint. She comes back out and tells me they ran out. lol. So you didn’t have any mint. And didn’t give me any but swore the chef added some. Haha. The food always is spoiled over silly lies. The beef laab was just stir fried beef over a salad bag you could get at Vons and some chopped cabbage. It was $20. I could stir fry my own beef and get a bag of salad for $6. Crab fried rice was wet and had barely any crab. $18. Tom yum soup was $13 but add the 3 shrimps and it came to $17. lol Really wanted the mango sticky rice but I can’t justify it being $15. What bothers me the most is the service is not for the people. When you make a complain to these people the just shrug it off and pretend they don’t know what you want.

Update to reply: "Not sure why the owner is saying they didn't have a male server and asking when this happened cause I said it was during opening weekend. Another new place in the area to try. So we went in on a Saturday night. *On their opening weekend* ordered Satay Chicken. and 1 pad Thai. The Satay Chicken was not how it's normally served, the sauce was not on the chicken, it was served on the side. The chicken was raw. I told the server but I guess he doesn't know raw chicken can send you to the ER or he simply didn't care. The Pad Thai chicken didn't look at all like anything I wanted to eat or as it'd normally look, served with peanuts on the side. Even if I wanted to eat them the forks were taken when they took the raw chicken satay and were never brought back. We sat there waiting and waiting but never got the satay Chicken or forks. We just left. Didn't seem good or authentic Thai anyway so we didn't miss out on anything. Never again.

Delicious food! Service was excellent. Food was prepared fresh and delivered to our table quickly. 2nd time eating here. 1st time takeout Fried Rice with chicken Mixed Vegetables with chicken Massaman Curry with chicken (favorite) 2nd time Dine in Fried Rice with chicken Cashew-nut with chicken We will definitely eat here again!

Our favorite local Thai place. Tasty! Nice owners and employees. Vegetarian options: Select tofu with any dish and it’s delicious.

Big portions, lots of meat, good flavor. I got the peanut curry with brisket and chicken and it fed me for 2 meals.

The service was great, but the food is not good at all. The Tom Kha is watery and had no lemongrass and the pineapple curry was also watery and tasteless, just slightly spicy.
