Joshua and I found ourselves “going the wrong way” (says Josh) and we ended up at Rin Thai Bistro!
Located on the corner of Elmwood and Potomac is a wonderfully low key Thai bistro; Rin’s to be exact. The atmosphere is personal, friendly, and the cuisine is out of this world.
I began with some Sticky Rice & Coconut Shrimp to start; the rice was presented in a beautiful bamboo basket, to maintain heat without losing moisture, and to add a lil flair to the presentation of the food. The coconut shrimp was amazing, battered beautifully to retain the coconut’s consistency and incredibly unique flavor; pairing these two ingredients is ubiquitous, but what Rin does differently is maintain the integrity of the coconut to enhance this favorite’s flavor into a new realm of dreamy. The shrimp come with a sauce that I can only describe as Sweet & Sour with finely diced pineapple chunks subtly throughout. �� flavor explosion.
Josh had an appetizer of fried dumplings � to match; cooked perfectly and served with soy sauce. �
For entrees, we both had our own orders of Pud Thai; chicken for Josh, shrimp for me. Spicy.
Best spontaneous lunch decision EVER. I’m trying the Pineapple Fried Rice next! �
RIN is the noodle master! Her food rocks! We used to go to her other restaurant the King and I. Her new place the best Thai Resturant in Buffalo. I recommend her food to everyone. She is also a great neighbor!
Beautiful little spot. The food here is absolutely delicious! Got the curry of the day and it came out quickly and we both finished our entire meals. First time I had been here and definitely won't be the last! They have a nice little outdoor seating area as well.
Best Thai food we’ve ever had - and it’s not even close. Restaurant is very nice, cozy and enjoyable. Staff was great and service was excellent.
Highly recommend, I will definitely be going back very soon
We visited Rin Thai today for the first time and enjoyed a variety of fresh delicious dishes. As a vegetarian it is not always easy to find entrees that are as appealing as the other entrees. I love the Tom Kha soup and the mango salad. We ordered a red curry for later and it is delicious as well. My only comment is that I am going to need more rice with this curry for lunch tomorrow. Thank you Rin! It was a pleasure to meet you. We'll be back soon.
Very cute place. Service was excellent. Food was very good. I had the chicken curry it was delicious. I had them make it extra spicy. It was perfect. The tables for 2 are a little small but whatever it worked.. Wish they had a cocktail menu. Good experience and definitely will be back.
Been there twice now and no disappointments. Yea sometimes it takes a little long for meals to come, but I’m ok with that! Going again to try something I haven’t tried yet! Cheers!
Not a bad place. I got the curry of the day with rice and it was pretty tasty. I'd go back if invited but wouldnt go out of my way to go.
