Why go
Kiin is the Adelaide pick for modern Thai when the occasion needs energy, polish, a menu built for sharing. Book it for celebrations, dates, business dinners that should feel warm rather than formal; the strongest case is the combination of Ben Bertei’s bold Thai-Australian cooking, a lively open-kitchen room, service built around hospitality rather than ceremony.
About Kiin
Kiin is an Adelaide restaurant from chef/owner Ben Bertei, with a modern Thai and modern Asian focus and a $$$ price guide. It is best considered when the group wants a smart-casual Adelaide meal built around the restaurant’s confirmed signature dishes rather than a low-cost option.
The draw is the cooking itself. Kiin’s signature dishes include the red curry cheeseburger, prawn and lychee popsticks, black angus beef shin curry, burrata with green nam jim and roti, Port Lincoln squid curry. That list gives a clear sense of the restaurant’s confirmed focus: modern Thai and modern Asian cooking, with those dishes as the safest starting point for ordering.
Book for modern Thai and modern Asian cooking in Adelaide
Kiin suits diners looking for a smart-casual Adelaide restaurant at the $$$ level. The dress code is smart casual, so neat, polished clothing is appropriate without needing formalwear.
The confirmed hours are Tuesday 5:00 PM–10:00 PM; Wednesday to Saturday 12:00 PM–10:00 PM; and closed Sunday and Monday. Those hours make Kiin an option for evening bookings from Tuesday to Saturday, with earlier opening from Wednesday to Saturday.
What to order if the table wants the full argument
Use the signature dishes as the safest guide. The red curry cheeseburger and prawn and lychee popsticks are confirmed signatures. For curry orders, look to the black angus beef shin curry or the Port Lincoln squid curry.
The burrata with green nam jim and roti is another useful order because it reflects Kiin’s modern Thai and modern Asian brief in a single confirmed dish. If you are choosing for a group, build the meal around several of these signatures rather than relying on one main dish to define the visit.
The decision
Book Kiin when the priority is modern Thai and modern Asian cooking in Adelaide, led by Ben Bertei, at a $$$ price point. It is strongest for diners who are specifically interested in the venue’s signature dishes and want a smart-casual restaurant rather than a bargain meal. Skip it if the group is mainly looking for the lowest-cost Thai option or if the signature dishes do not appeal.
