I brought my family here for lunch after seeing a lot of positive reviews, unfortunately it made me feel like a wrong choice. They took almost 45 minutes to serve the food after I placed an order. Finally the food arrived , it was looking delicious however the food was tasteless, salt less and less spicy though I had opted 6 spicy levels. I am giving 3 stars only because of ambiance.First time we’ve been here and may not come back again. Overall the food is Okay, not so good.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Arriving at Thai 9, we were a little confused as the outdoor entrance is very modest and hidden. Entering the facility though, you will be quick to find out how amazing this place is inside. It’s beyond beautiful and I have still been thinking about it since it went. We were greeted by a friendly worker and were sat promptly. The menu is very big which can always be a little alarming at first, but this is not an issue with this restaurant. We started out with crab Rangoons which were cooked to perfection and the doughy/crunchy texture with the generous filling was amazing! It was lunch time so we ordered one of their lunch specials which included 5 nigiri and a roll. The 5 nigiri were all so very fresh but I have to note that the salmon and white tuna were extra excellent. Also, for my entree I ordered their Pad Sea Ew and my buddy ordered pad Thai. They both came out in a timely manner. Both entrees were easily the best of their kind that we’ve both had. The portions sizes were beyond generous. The spice level can be high but they make you aware of this. I absolutely loved this place coming from an absolute Thai and seafood lover. The absolute game changer though was the price. It was 22 dollars for the pad sea ew and the sushi special which is an absolute steal. Everything was fresh and flavorful! I want to emphasize that waitress Claire was beyond amazing and friendly. Waiter Rob/Ron i don’t remember exactly was also very professional as well. This restaurant is the whole bundle. I will 100% be back here! KUDOS!

Thai 9 in the Oregon district is a must visit! I had an amazing experience there, and I'm in love with the inside-out California rolls as my appetizer which was a perfect start to my meal. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on. Absolutely not a run of the mill Asian buffet kind. These are large. The main course lunch, I had the salmon and shrimp fried rice, which was incredibly flavorful. The Thai spice that elevated the dish was likely something I can’t pronounce but tastes amazing. The portion was generous, and the ingredients were fresh. The ambiance at Thai 9 is cozy and inviting, with a spacious dining room and high ceilings. Service was attentive and friendly.
