Kinkao Kummai

Great food, good mood, and the music actually matched the décor instead of fighting it, which is rarer than it should be. The team was helpful in both Thai and English, and the big windows made the whole room feel bright and warm. Parking is a bit limited out front, but there’s valet if you don’t want to play that game.

This brunch was a little too cute in the best way. The shrimp toast had star-shaped details, the avocado egg-and-bacon toast was cooked just right, and the vegetable juice with no sugar was fresh and crisp. The staff were sweet and helpful, and I’d happily go back with friends or family.

I tried the cod, the baby chicken, and a birthday dessert, and the cod was especially good with its sauce. The chicken was very tender and came with three sauces, though only the orange one really stood out to me. They’d run out of the matcha cake, but the staff offered a sesame cake on the house, which was a lovely touch.

We’d watched this place come together from the start, so we finally stopped in for brunch despite a few rough reviews. The menu has loads of options, and our Golden Egg Salmon Toast, Norwegian Pastel Bowl, juices, and coffee were all solid, though the bread on the salmon toast could’ve been better and the wait was a bit long. The setting is gorgeous, with that Venetian-palace feel, and the staff were friendly and professional throughout.
