Our beverage program doesn't end there, we have uniquely crafted one of a kind cocktails along with local craft beer and cider for our guests that want to keep it simple.

Our beautiful space is designed by renown local architects Scott & Scott Architects together with millwork by the amazingly talented Manner Studio. Our bright room is dimmed before dinner service to keep the attention on our guests and the food for the evening. Expect spicy Thai, fresh daily seafood and good vibes all night long at Song.

Loved the chef’s tasting menu! We were served about 11 dishes and left bursting at the seams. Intense rich flavours and quality ingredients. They used fresh young coconut in many dishes and lots of fresh fragrant herbs. We were lucky to catch happy hour and had some delicious cocktails too … I enjoyed the Thai basil smash and a cocktail made of spicy gin and pineapple and lime juice. Hard to name a favourite dish as we enjoyed it all … but the whole fried tamarind fish was quite impressive.

We were there a few times to try the tasting menu and it was very good but last night’s experience was not very good because we had a la carte menu. The duck that we had was very mushy. It was overall quite disappointing as my girlfriend and I were looking forward to our dinner because it is her first time there.

We found the reservation “rules and the online monologue” in very poor taste and frankly immature, insulting and rather desperate sounding. It lacked the graciousness which we associate not only with with the Thai culture but with restaurants recognized by Michelin. You may not be surprised that the second sentence the server uttered was a caution that we had one and one half hours only. (Experienced diners are respectful that an early reservation is followed by a second seating) We were pleased to be invited to try your restaurant - we will not be recommending it until your management embraces a more hospitable approach. I see the option to send this reply privately to your team for review/ I do not expect you to post this.

Came for my friend’s birthday - service was excellent and the food was delicious. Everything was tasty, flavourful, and served beautifully. Wide range of textures in the curry and very hearty for a vegan dish. Pad Thai was great and we appreciated that we could mix in the right amount of spice for us.

The quality of the food was excellent and the service was friendly and attentive. Happy Hour is a bit of a joke because there are only two food items that can be ordered off the “happy hour” menu, which was tofu and oysters. The tofu was perfectly fried, but it wasn’t not seasoned at all. It may be deliberate but without dipping it in the sauce, it’s not every good. It’s not something you can’t get at the night market for less. The oysters were the other happy menu item and were truly delicious. Savoury, a bit spicy, a little acid, and very fresh. Our mains were the mussel curry which was excellent, but for $45, it could have had more. There were a few shavings of coconut and pineapple in the curry which were all delicious, but not much to even share among two people. The fried squash was also delicious and it was prepared with a typical Thai sauce that you’ll quickly recognized. It was large portion. The one criticism is that the basil leaves weren’t crispy and a bit under fried. And it would be nice to have a smaller portion at a lower price point than $25 because there is only so much of it that you can eat before it becomes a little one dimensional. There isn’t much of an ambiance. It is clean but kind of like a subway it it’s aesthetic. Overall, the food was solid, fresh, and flavourful. If you don’t like spicy, it may be challenging for you . The menu was a bit limited and not many items seemed like they would pair well with each other. The service was friendly but compared to other restaurants at similar price points, it is not as attentive or knowledgeable about the menu items. In general Asian food doesn’t get the recognition for the amount of work and skilled required to prepare the food. I only find it on the expensive side because Vancouver has other options at lower prices, yet not as good, but good enough. I would go back to try the Tom Yum soup, but I don’t think I will be a regular.

Went for the Valentine’s Day menu and the food was delicious. The service was even better. I didn’t realize when I pre payed I had added a tip already so when I tipped again the waitress (named Anna who was amazing to us) reminded me I had already tipped her and instantly refunded my 50$. when I never would of realized and she easily could of not said anything. Thank you Anna!

We went to Song by Kin Kao for my belated birthday dinner. The food was outstanding and the servers in the initial part of the meal were attentive and gave some wonderful recommendations for food to try. We especially loved the duck curry and oysters. We did have an unfortunate event near the end, where the server asked us to leave as our reservation was going to end in 5 min. We had a cake we needed to eat but the initial server did not permit us to eat our cake and asked us to respect the time limit and leave. My friend already informed the host initially we had a cake (as a surprise for me) and the servers failed to properly communicate that we needed time to eat the cake. We also had our crab rice come out quite late and finished eating our dinner at around 815 pm. We discussed our frustration with the manager and we were given more time to eat our cake and was given complimentary cake cutting service. We appreciated the service at the end, but wish the servers communicated with each other and us better so we didn’t feel rushed at the end. We would still return to this restaurant as the issue was resolved and the food was very delicious. Thank you for a lovely dinner, and thank you to the manager for resolving our concern.

The food is very good , their spin on Thai food is excellent …rich and the heat is scaled back. The flavors are still intense, lime, lemongrass and coconut all evident. Loved the vegan yellow curry and the curry sauce went everywhere. Kin Kao knocks it out of the park every time.
