While in Fort Worth today I had lunch at the Kin Kin Urban Thai restaurant at the corner of West 7th Street and Foch. I was very pleased with my meal. I had Yellow Curry Chicken Over Rice. The dish was beautiful on top of being delicious. It was described as being hot and spicy, but being a guy who enjoys a pile of jalapenos on top of my hamburger, I found the curry flavorful. My wife enjoyed her Chicken Pad Thai. For an appetizer we split an order of Crepe Spring Rolls. The restaurant was very attractive. It had what looked like a full bar, but it was off to the side so I barely noticed it.
Next time I go to the Kimbell Art Museum, I'll have lunch at Kin Kin. Continuing West on 7th Street, the street forks at University Blvd and I can veer left to Camp Bowie Blvd and drive on to the Kimbell, which is only 0.6 miles from the restaurant.
I will be visiting down town Fort Worth more often. It is only 55 minutes from my home, driving on Sam Rayburn and 121 all the way there. Highway 121 dead ends in downtown Ft. Worth.
Go through the down town. Do not take I-35. The 121-to-35-to-30 transition is a nightmare. When you get onto 35 from 121 going south towards 30, the exit to 30 comes too soon to get across all 3 lanes of crowded traffic. Sometimes the transition is impossible because the traffic is too thick. It is much better to enter the downtown and take a leisurely drive to the museums.
Highway 121 used to be horrible when you got near the airport, but they have made big improvements to that intersection and the traffic flows smoothly. Now the drive to down town Ft. Worth might even be more pleasant than the drive to down town Dallas.
I loved the Kin Kin Urban Thai restaurant; I recommend it. The food was delicious and beautiful. The restaurant was attractive and the servers were attentive.

PS: If you have had Thai food before and did not like it, I can say I have too. But give Kin Kin a chance. There is a very wide variety of Thai dishes and I can say that the food at Kin Kin that I had was fantastic.
