Wonderful Thai food. Stay away from the beer, very expensive. The restaurant also has a very busy takeaway so apying for the meal took some time whilst waiting for the credit card machine. They perhaps could do with another one to expedite the process. Make sure you book a table

My favourite place in Athlone to eat by a mile! Have been more than 10 times now and its always brilliant, friendly staff also. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Take away is just as good. You'll never eat Chinese again after eating here.

There is nothing wrong with this restaurant, in fact, it is probably the best in Athlone, but if you want authentic Thai food, you wont quite get it. Cooked for Irish tastes, so not as spicy as in Thailand. The sticky rice desert is wonderful.

When we first walked into Kin Khao we were unimpressed since it seems like you are walking into the "to go" area. But, then we were taken upstairs and saw a very nice restaurant. My wife and I both enjoyed our dishes very much. Everything was excellent. The service may have been a little slow, but that would not stop... More

My husband and I were visiting athlone for the weekend and our hotel recommended this restaurant. On arrival the staff were very friendly but once our order was taken no-one returned to check on us. I ran out of water during the starters and my glass was never refillled. Our dinner plates were cleared but after 10 more minutes we... More

This is our favourite place to eat. Takeaway is just as outstanding as eating in. The staff are extremely friendly and so friendly. I have never eating a bad meal from here.
