Restaurant Review: Kin and Deum Thai Restaurant (Kin + Deum). Homeboy and I ate at the previous Thai restaurant located at this site when we were researching the area to buy a property. It then closed down and has re-opened recently by three siblings – Bank, Roselyn and Shakris Inngern. If you’re looking for a Thai Restaurant in London Bridge or restaurants near Bermondsey Street, you should seek out the Kin and Deum Thai Restaurant.
“For authentic Thai food in minimalist, contemporary surroundings you should book a table at Kin and Deum where the three sibling owners will take care of your Thai food cravings,” Homegirl London
Kin and Deum Thai Restaurant Dinner Menu
The menu features authentic Thai dishes using local London ingredients. Start with Grilled Chicken Skewers, Chicken and Prawn Thai Dumplings, Pork and Herb Larb Balls or Spicy Thai Tacos. We ordered the Shiitake Mushroom Spring Rolls filled with mushrooms, glass noodles, carrots and spring onions. These tasted nice enough and made a change from the usual spring rolls on Thai restaurant menus.

We also selected the Som Tum Salad as an extra starter, it was pretty spicy but a delight.

For the mains, they have a selection of house dishes which sounded very grand. You can tuck into something delicious like the Bangkok Gra Pow which is stir fry minced pork with chillies. The Himmaparn is nutty stir-fried crispy chicken with cashew nuts, red onions, peppers and dried red chillies. Other dishes included Pork Belly, Prawns, Duck and Steak, so the choice is perfect covering all tastes. Homeboy selected the Seabass Choo Chee Curry. The lightly crisped seabass fillet accompanied by a creamy Panang red curry was delicious he told me.

I settled on the vegetarian Bank’s Massaman Curry without the tofu. It was beautiful, the sauce was the ideal thickness and beautifully spiced. The vegetables were perfectly cooked with a wide variety. Other choices were Traditional Green Curry or Panang Curry. These were available with vegetables and tofu, chicken, beef or prawns. If you’re not in the mood for a curry, then a noodle dish like King Prawn Pad Thai might hit the spot or Thai Fried Rice. Sides included Tamarind Crispy Eggs and Crunchy Sweetheart Cabbage.
Iced Thai Milk Tea and Butterfly Pea Juice
To give you the idea of price points starters are £5.90-6.50, salads are £6.90-7.90, house mains are £9-13, and curries are £9-12.50. We tired a couple of excellent drinks, a Thai Milk Teas £3.50 and Butterfly Pea Juice £3.00.
Kin and Deum Thai Restaurant Interiors
Restaurant Interior
The interiors were very stylish, contemporary and paired back, so it has a sophisticated feel. It’s a large space, yet they have managed to retain a cosy vibe when they turn down the lighting. Tables for two and four have bistro style wooden dining chairs while the bench seating has cute rounded back cushions for extra comfort. We sat at the window counter overlooking Crucifix Lane, which was a lovely spot. We went early without a booking so couldn’t get a table, but we didn’t mind. With white walls, rustic wooden floor, a few plants and woven pendant shades, the minimalist approach is calming and relaxing.
