How much does the Kin Khao menu cost?
In USD, before tax and tip. The table adds the 29% usually added for tax and tip, an estimate (the restaurant’s bill is what counts), and the cost for two.
| Per person | With 29% tax and tip | For two | For two, with tax and tip | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A main courseÀ la carte, to share; curries about $47–$57 | $48 | $62 | $96 | $124 |
Every figure is for one guest and excludes sales tax, which varies by city (8.875% in New York City, for example), and tip, which is usually 18–22%. Many restaurants add a set service charge instead of a tip, and some San Francisco restaurants add a small surcharge for staff health care. Supplements such as caviar or truffle courses are left out. Prices shown in other currencies use the day's exchange rate and are approximate.
