The kale salad is HUGE, so consider sharing it amongst the table. The apple and cinnamon flatbread was delicious and I highly recommend it.More infoThe Hideout KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Lafayette•4.5

- RRobertSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews4.0Dined on Jul 13, 2025The four-course Lunch menu was reasonably priced for the portions that were served and the quality of the food. I felt however that the Thai Papaya Salad was too basic in preparation to justify the additional $5 charge. Nonetheless, my beef Pad Thai was well prepared as the stir-fried noodles had a perfect texture and not too salty. My Vietnamese Iced Coffee was freshly brewed. I want to commend this restaurant's interior decoration as it included South Asian ornaments which really added to its Thai authenticity. The ambiance was quite and relaxed inside and the service was very efficient. The waitress was also helpful in explaining the menu to us as well as offering different levels of spiciness for our food. I highly recommend this restaurant for customers looking for comforting and easily-digestible Asian food charged at a modest price for dine-in.More infoAmarin Thai Cuisine - LafayettePrice: Expensive• Thai• Lafayette•4.8
