In the process of scouting dining options around the Guthrie, we couldn't miss the nearest exterior option, Kindee. A one-minute stroll away, Kindee is likely a tough table to land pre-show, so a reservation seems wise. One was not needed on this cold, quiet Monday in the city. We started with fried spring rolls, consisting of three cut diagonally in halves. Crisp and tasty, with a touch of sweet and sour sauce nicely offsetting the crunchy cabbage and onions. (I proceeded to slather the sauce on my last two portions and ate like it was my last meal, but no apologies - they were that good.) We tried just two entrees, both excellent, the pineapple fried rice and the ginger salmon. The fried rice had big chunks of pineapple and delicious dried cranberries. I felt the added pork wasn't the best as it dried out a bit in the process, but overall a great fried rice dish. The salmon was excellent, prepared a perfect medium rare. Either could feed 2-3 diners. Overall, a very good experience, with prompt service and great food. Sadly, only beer and wine are offered, but the selection was more than adequate. Looks like a dandy pre-show dinner spot.

This modern looking restaurant is delicious! Plus they do a fabulous job of getting our group of six- eight people taken care of so we can walk across the street to the Guthrie to be on time for the plays we see! Everything I've tried so far has been so flavorful and fresh. Like, I want to lick ALL of the sauce off of the bowl! The Moo Gati and Drunken noodles are favorites. You really can't go wrong with any of the curries or fried rices either. Be sure to make a reservation because they are always busy. The service is still fast and friendly despite the packed house. A wonderful spot before a play or even if you are just in the area. Check them out.

Randomly decided to visit Kindee Thai for the first time on a weekend and got seated quickly. I love not having to make reservations in advance and being able to get seated immediately. The staff was very efficient with us as we were in a hurry and they got everything to us promptly. We started our meal with cream cheese wontons and these were delightful, I especially enjoyed the tough of jam inside the wonton. I chose to order a curry dish while my boyfriend got the pad see ew. We both enjoyed our dishes and felt full and satisfied. The ambiance was nice and clean and the staff was very friendly.

Cute place right next to the stone arch bridge and the Guthrie theater. I had the fried tofu. It had a nice texture and the sauce was really good. Could have used a little more flavor. I'd try spring rolls or pad Thai next time. Staff was friendly.

location: right across the street from the Guthrie Theater and the Mill City Museum. A few choices for street parking but we opted to walk from Trader Joe's. atmosphere: cute corner restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely a place that can be treated as a casual dinner with friends or a fancier meal for two. food: menu is filled with lots of Thai favorites including pad thai and a variety of curries! We did have to ask for more spicy toppings as the food was a little "Minnesota nice" for our group. Overall a great weekend spot to try after a Vikings game!

Cute space to eat at prior to the Guthrie theater! We were craving Thai food and decided to try a new place that was closer to the theater vs going to Sawatdee. Kindee was cutely decorated and the staff were very friendly. The portions were a lot smaller for the appetizers than the typical Thai restaurant so we ended up having to order double items of some things. We ended up ordering appetizers as our meal. It was a chilly day, so we ordered some hot tea. The mug and pot set were so adorable that we had to take a picture of them! Food: Fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp - I wish they would have told us it's only one roll (cut into 4 pieces) and we would have ordered 2 right away. *Recommend ordering the curry peanut sauce to go with these vs the sauce they had with them. Yumm! I want more. The shrimp were prominent and tasty in them. Cranberry cream cheese wontons - get them! So tasty and crispy! Crave-worthy! I'm pretty sure we got 2 orders! Hahah Fried Calamari - sooo goood!! The lime sauce is so flavorful and was one of my favorite flavors on the table! I want more now. It's a nice balance of acid and a teeny bit of sweet spice. Yum Yumm Chicken Satay- ok... so I love the curry dipping sauce but we didn't love the chicken. It didn't feel crispy and it was the opposite of that. Kinda odd and mushy. I wouldn't order again unless you ask to make it crispier? Idk... skip and eat all the other items we had. Overall I liked this place. Little spendier for the size of portions we've gotten at other thai restaurants. I'm sure it comes down to their location and maybe taxes, but update the menu with more specifics? We will be back again before the next play! The noodles/ stir fry and fried rice looked awesome. Next time!
