Kanya Thai Food - Redding

This is a great Asian market and in the back there is an awesome restaurant.

I can confidently say that this place offers authentic Thai cuisine. My only complaint would be the service; it took about 30 minutes for me to receive my check and to-go boxes. Now, let me tell you about the Tom Yum soup. If you're a fan of Tom Yum, this is the place to be. Be sure to request extra seafood! I also ordered the pork spring rolls and Pad Thai, both of which were incredibly flavorful, fresh, and delightfully spicy. I asked for it to be Thai spicy, and they really delivered. The market itself is interesting, though the overall experience was a bit confusing—probably just a matter of getting used to it. I can't wait to return and try more dishes!

Don't let the fact that this restaurant is located in a market fool you—it's amazing! The service is excellent, and the portion sizes are generous. Unlike other places that seem to think they're in Hollywood, the food here is truly outstanding. As a foodie, I can confidently say that these guys are the best. A must-visit!

The crispy pork rice and fresh spring rolls were outstanding! I could keep going just to meet the word count for my post.

Kanya Market is a tiny Asian grocery in town that also houses a tiny restaurant serving authentic Hmong food. The Hmong tendon soup was delicious, full of flavor, and reminded me of ones I had made by my Hmong friend's mom! The broth was so flavorful and full of Thai baby eggplants, silky bamboo shoots, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, fresh rau ram, etc. and the tendon and tripe were just right, not over cooked nor undercooked! It's served with a side of rice which is just right for some carb comfort on a cold winter night. The market has some of the freshest Asian veggies in town, it's a bit pricy compared to other major cities but I get it because they have to transport all the goods from so far. Definitely try the Hmong tendon soup, it was amazing! I loved it so much I brought what I couldn't finish home even though it was only like 2/3rds of a cup lol. Ask for Pa, she was super sweet and gave me a baggie for my leftover rice!
