Kamin is definitely over priced, with dishes ranging $8-15, but the portions are large. The first time I went, the service was amazing! I got there late at night and the woman serving was probably one of the nicest waitresses I have ever met. We were not rushed at all. However, the second time I went, it was also later at night, the waiter was very rude. Even though we made him an extra $15, he could have potentially ruined my night if I wasn't with such great company. He came back to our table every couple minutes, waiting for us to finish our food so he could give us the bill. I usually feel bad going into restaurants late because I know how it feels to be held after hours, but we were on the verge of lingering in spite of this waiter, that is how irritating he was. So, if you are looking for great service, I recommend the female waitress :)
Okay, here are we go:
Dish One: Phuket Pineapple Fried Rice {11.99}
Jasmine fried rice accented with ham, pineapple, raisins, cashew nuts, and scrambled egg served in a festive pineapple shell
Jasmine fried rice accented with ham, pineapple, raisins, cashew nuts, and scrambled egg served in a festive pineapple shell
This is a very pretty dish. It is served in a real pineapple. The pineapple bowl alone makes it that much better. Also, this is a big portion of rice. I usually don't like fried rice. I am more of a steamed rice person, but I really like this rice. I love the pineapple and cashew nuts. They are my favorite. The pineapple makes the rice sweet, but the vegetables and ham counteract it. It is very good. If you are not sure about Thai food and want to eat at Kamin, this dish is a safe one to order.
Dish Two: Massaman Curry {$10.95}
Meat, peanuts and potatoes slowly cooked in Thai spices and coconut curry
This curry was my favorite out of the two that I tried. The coconut is what attracted me to it at first. It has a mild coconut flavor that brings out the other flavors in the dish, although I thought the dish was pretty bland overall. The potatoes were overcooked and the dish was a little too salty. The vegetables were decent, but I do think they were frozen. The chicken and peanuts were delicious, and the sauce mixed with the jasmine rice (comes with the dish) was so good.
Dish Three: Gang Nan-Yellow Curry {$10.95}
Meat slowly cooked until it is soft in a rich yellow curry, very smooth and delicious
This dish was better than the Massaman curry in that it wasn't salty and the potatoes weren't overcooked. However, I liked the flavor of the Massaman curry better. I recommended this restaurant to a kid who went on a mission to the Phillipines. He ordered the yellow curry when he went to Kamin and said it was delicious. I thought it was good, but could have used a little more spices. The portion was large, more than enough to feed me for a couple nights :)
Jasmine Brown Rice {Comes with the Curry dishes}
I am sorry this picture is terrible. This rice is amazing though. However, they only give you about a cup of it for your curry, so if you love rice like I do, I would order a side of rice as well. It is only a dollar and it makes the meal much better I promise. Its brown rice too, so it is healthyish :)
Dish Four: Pad Nor Mai {$9.99}
This spicy stir-fry includes bamboo shoots, bell peppers, onions, and fresh basil
This is a unique dish made mostly of bamboo shoots and tofu. I am not a tofu fan, but I did try the tofu and it tasted a lot more like chicken than it usually does! Court (who ordered it) thought it was good! The sauce tasted a lot like soy sauce which was good! So if you like tofu, then this is the way to go. If not, you can also substitute it for chicken or pork.
Okay onto my favorite dish of all time at Kamin:
Mango Sticky Rice {$4.50}
Best Mango Sticky Rice I have ever had. If you like mangoes and rice you will die. I crave this dessert every single day. If I was stuck on an island with nothing but Mango Sticky Rice I would die a happy girl. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture because I devoured it too fast to take one. I am sorry. I guess you will have to go try it yourself :) You will not be dissapointed. It is sweet rice with coconut milk and mangoes. the rice is perfectly fluffy and the milk oozes out of it when you take a bite.
Try it.
Other suggestions:
1. The Tom Yum Soup is super spicy so be careful, it could give you heartburn.
2. The restaurant is hard to find. It is located on the west side of Main Street about half a block in on the south side of Logan. It is a small restaurant in a little house.
3. The Mango Sticky Rice may not be on the menu- don't freak out. Just ask for it
4. If you can, sit outside, its pretty.
Overall, this is a very good restaurant. I don't think it is better than Indian Oven or Tandoori Oven, but it is also not as exotic, and a different type of food, of course. I would recommend going to try it once at least. It is not my favorite restaurant in Logan and it is a little overpriced, but it is pretty good.
Here is the menu if you want to check it out:
Here is where it is located:
51 W 200 S

(Drive north on Main street from Sardine Canyon, it is after the Logan River bridge and before all the Downtown Logan Restaurants start- if you get to Chuck-a-Rama you have gone too far)
