text: Family and I have been going to Pin Kaow for years and it was always one of our goto Thai restaurants in Las VegasnnWas in Las Vegas last weekend for a friends wedding but I had time to go grab lunch with my parents at Pin Kaow in the Northwest part of town off of Lake Mead and Rainbow We ordered from the lunch menu special I got the red curry with chicken and my parents got the pad thai with beef and the basil chicken Each of the lunch specials is between depending on the type of meat that you get with it Beef and seafood are a little bit more expensive while chicken and tofu fall on the cheaper endnnWe also got a couple appetizers the fish cake as well as the chicken satay My dad is a huge fan of both of these dishes and we have been ordering them since I was a little kid The fish cake is served with the thai sweet chili sauce with the cucumber which you should put on top of your fish cake So yummy The chicken satay has the peanut sauce on the side which we are also huge fans of We also ordered a couple drinks and with tax lunch came out to about for people so not too shabby at allnnThe other times we have been here we have also ordered things like the beef rad nar which has the thicker noodles with beef broccoli and a gravy sauce We also like the mint chicken shrimp pad thai and yellow curry I always get my dishes with a spice level of on a point scale and it is just right nnNow if you ask me where it falls on the scale of best Thai restaurants I have to give the nod to Lotus of Siam first star and then it is a close decision between Pin Kaow and Archis I may have to give the nod to Archis here though because their flavor and spices seem to be a little bit better than Pin Kaow Nonetheless it is still a great option The service here is better than Archis and other Thai restaurants and the ambience is terrific It is also conveniently located about miles away from my parents house and was always the most feasible option for us Love the food love the service will definitely be back
