Photo Tour: Soft Opening at Kin Dee Thai

Oct 17, 20252 min read

Over the span of the past few weeks, Kin Dee Thai quietly remained soft open at 5350 E. Broadway Blvd. #128. While it is open to the public, the restaurant is still refining their menu and fine tuning other details before announcing an official opening.

The restaurant also aims to launch brunch at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, starting November; the date has not been finalized yet.

I have visited the restaurant several times as both also as a comped guest (while taking photos of most of the menu) and as a paying customer (I like it there); here are my photos.

@Lovinspoonfulstucson is closing after more than 20 years in Tucson. Its final day of service runs on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Customers can stop in between now and Saturday for one last meal. The team plans to sell down its inventory, though it hopes to have favorite dishes available. Regular hours remain 9am-3pm through the final day.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
