Kin Dee Street Kitchen brings Lao and Thai street food to northeast Calgary. From Lao-style papaya salad and crispy Lao fried wings to Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup, every dish is cooked fresh at 3449 12 St NE — ready for dine-in, takeout, online ordering and catering.
Kin Dee Street Kitchen opened as Calgary’s first Lao restaurant, taking over the northeast corner spot on 12 Street NE that locals knew for years as Wonton King. The idea was simple: give this city a proper taste of Lao cooking — a cuisine that is still rare in Alberta — and pair it with the Thai street-food dishes Calgarians already love.
Spring rolls, salad rolls, chicken satay skewers and crispy Lao fried wings start the meal. Then come the plates people come back for: Lao-style papaya salad pounded fresh, Pad Thai, spicy Tom Yum soup and grilled pork skewers with sticky rice. The menu stays concise and the pricing stays affordable, so lunch or a weeknight dinner in Calgary NE never feels like a splurge.
Guests call us a hidden gem, and we like it that way: a casual, family-friendly room for shareable appetizers, small group dinners and quick takeout. We serve Mayland Heights, Renfrew, Bridgeland, Vista Heights, Crescent Heights and the rest of northeast Calgary — dine-in, takeout, online ordering and catering for your next gathering.
Lao-style papaya salad, crispy fried wings, satay skewers and Pad Thai made with traditional herbs, chilies and fish sauce — the real thing, not toned down.
A relaxed, budget-friendly spot on 12 Street NE for a casual lunch, a spicy weeknight dinner or a plate of shareable appetizers with friends.
Order online for fast pickup, call ahead for takeout or ask us about catering — a friendly team looks after every guest, every visit.
