Then I got a little curious, so I went into the office and googled “kin khao delivery”, and guess what came up. I told him we’ve never been on it, not in our entirely lifetime as He sounded really confused, so we said goodbye and I hung up the phone. To make matters worse, Yelp had a Grubhub delivery module on Kin Khao's actual Yelp page. The page on Grubhub - which appears identically to one on sister site Seamless - showed Kin Khao's actual address (55 Cyril Magnin Street), and then a selection of menu items that the real Kin Khao doesn't serve. Techamuanvivit then went to a computer and Googled "Kin Khao delivery," and low and behold there was result on Grubhub that comes up higher than the restaurant's own website. Techamuanvivit told the man that the restaurant had never been on Seamless, and the man hung up confused. "He said 'What were you doing on Seamless then?'"

"Perplexed, I told him we didn’t do delivery, not even take-out," she explains on Twitter. Techamuanvivit says she was confused Saturday night when she received a phone call at the restaurant from a man who wanted to inquire about a delivery order he had placed about 45 minutes earlier. A Thai kitchen in an unknown location in San Francisco has been masquerading as Michelin-starred Kin Khao and offering delivery meals on Seamless and Grubhub unbeknownst to Kin Khao and its owner Pim Techamuanvivit.
