$29 All-You-Can-Eat Thai Lunch at Upscale Thai Restaurant in Upper Kirby: Makiin

If you’re on the hunt for an incredible all-you-can-eat lunch that doesn’t skimp on quality, Makiin has you covered! This upscale Thai restaurant in Upper Kirby has launched an all-you-can-eat Thai lunch experience that’s perfect for when you want to indulge in authentic flavors without limits. 

Available Friday through Sunday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, this AYCE offering includes a rotating selection of ten dishes that span appetizers, soups, salads, and stir-fries, so there may be something new on the table with each visit. The variety of curries and soups was incredible, each packed with bold, aromatic flavors. The papaya salad was so refreshing and had the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. Even the Brussel Sprout wowed!

For just $29, you can feast on as much Thai food as your heart desires, and if you’re looking to elevate your meal even further, you can add $4 mimosas or a $6 dessert to round out the experience. Whether you’re a longtime Thai food lover or just getting introduced to the cuisine, the variety here makes it easy to sample different flavors and find new favorites.

While the AYCE is the star of the show, Makiin also offers their full a-la-carte menu during lunch hours, so if you have a go-to dish, you can still order it alongside your AYCE selections. The upscale yet inviting atmosphere makes it a great spot for a relaxed lunch with friends or a midday treat, just because.

Makiin also offers a Thai high tea experience featuring traditional herbal teas served in antique handmade tea sets from Thailand. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a flavorful meal or just enjoy a unique take on afternoon tea.

As you may know, this is the elevated sister restaurant to Kin Dee, a beloved Thai staple in the Heights. If you love that concept, you’ll enjoy this one just as much—especially if you're looking for a more upscale Thai dining experience.
