From my 1 week vacation in California, this is the best Thai restaurant I’ve been to. Food is flavorful and customer service is amazing! Must try the Doo Dee Noodle Soup and Ka Pow! 10/10

I ordered lunch from Khun 9 Thai Kitchen today for delivery from GrubHub. It was my first time trying it, and here is my take on the yellow curry with Tofu and Thai Iced-Tea I ordered...PROS: Quick service. Great sturdy packaging. Food was hot and fresh.CONS: I got the Thai or Vietnamese Coffee instead of the Thai iced-tea and it was way too strong and sweet for me to drink. The salad was yummy, as was the rice. However, the yellow curry wasnt as flavorful as some other Thai places, so I was underwhelmed.

Cozy hole in the wall where you can order to take home. Our family enjoyed the spring rolls, pad see ew, and mango with sticky rice in coconut milk.

I went to this place based on the Google reviews. The food was fine, but I am disappointed with the portion and the way that they upsold the dish that I ordered.I ordered pad krapaw with sliced chicken breast. The waitress told me that it came with ground chicken breast and that I needed to pay an additional $2.00 if I wanted sliced chicken breast.If, according to her, the ground chicken was chicken breast, why should I pay more just because I wanted sliced chicken breast instead of ground chicken breast.This is the reason why I dont want ground chicken, because it is ground and it could be anything, but the real thing.Then, when I finally got my order, the chicken was cut in paper thin slices. Very thin slices spreaded on the plate just to make it look like it was a fair portion, but it was not.The thinner the slices, the less flavor, because thin pieces of chicken cant absorb the seasoning and spices as well as a thicker slice of chicken.Not only that, a thin slice of chicken can easily be overcooked, and it will just ruin the meal.I dont think that I might go back because I dont want to pay an additional $2.00 for such a small portion of chicken; plus the way they cut the chicken just to make more profit is not something that I would like to try again.

Its a very home restaurant in your neighborhood. Lots of people go here because food they offer are clean deliciously affordable. Usually packed lunch time coming from offices around. Its a tidy cozy place to eat.

Seemed like a really nice place... they managed to burn my noodles and give me tofu when I ordered chicken😢... not the best first experience but I would try again just in case, I tried it again..... and they gave me someone elses order, they called me to take it back and pick up my order. Im assuming they gave the order I returned to the person who originally ordered it but ewww what if I was sick, once the order leaves the restaurant they cant give it to someone else. ... How many pick-up orders do you think they mess up where they ask people to return it ??? Not taking my chances on this place again. UNSANITARY

We have passed by this little jem for years without stopping in to try the food. And after eating there, we were upset with ourselves for taking so long to give the place a try. The papaya salad was the best I ever had. It was so crunchy and garlicky..and delicious! We also had their pad see eew with pork. It was perfect. And we finished the meal with an order of mango and sticky rice, of course, it was amazing as well. We will definitely be back to try everything else.

Got the Chicken Ka Pow and a thai tea for around $16. They give you spice options and I got the hottest Thai spicy. Its definitely hot and the flavor is amazing, Id definitely recommend it if you enjoy hot food. The thai tea is also good and its way better than any boba place thai tea Ive gotten. The portion size is also perfect for one person (about as much as a chiptole bowl for reference?). I will 100% come back here again to try their other dishes.

Great service, really family oriented type of staff here.The ingredients they use here are top notch. I just stumbled upon this place for the first time this week, and will be sure to be making this a once a week stop for lunch at the very least! One thing to take note of is the restaurant seating is extremely limited.So take-out seems to be a popular option. If you eat later in the afternoon like I do, around 2pm, you should be good, but if you come during prime time, it may take a while to find a seat clear up.

I go here often because its very convenient for lunch. It gets busy, but thats for a reason. The food is excellent, and service is top notch. The staff is friendly and inviting, and the value is great. Portions are large for the price and theyre always willing to work with you if you have a substitution out special request. If you are getting a to-go order its a good idea to call ahead so you dont have to wait. Its a small place so waiting can be tough and if theyre busy a to-go order can take a bit. Also, if you start going regularly theyll begin to remember you and your order, and I personally love feeling like a regular.

The Penang curry here is super tasty and perfectly spicy. The curry is creamy and comes with a bell pepper slices as Penang usually does. I ordered mine with tofu, which is fried. Perfect to share if you’re not a huge eater. Comes with rice for $10! It’s nice to know they don’t charge extra for rice like most Thai restaurants in LA.Would come again if I’m in the area!!

This place is absolutely delicious! One of the best Thai food places I have ever been to. The food is fresh with high quality ingredients. The place is very clean and the staff very courteous. The Thai oced te is not overly sweet like other places and every dish Ive had has been delicious. They have a spicy pepper amd lime sauce that is absolutely amazing, super spicy so be careful. Im just sad I didnt take a pic of their fabulous dishes. Highly recommend.

Very fast and friendly service! Ive only tried the thai fried rice so far and it was really good!Tip: do not park at adjacent flame broiler. You will get towed. Parking is at rear by the alley.

This is one of those super-good secret spots to get really great Thai food fast. Not much space to dine, but if youre lucky, youll have a seat and the wait is a breeze. Their Thai tea is so damn good youll finish it before your meal arrives. Love this spot when Im in the area.

Khun 9 is a very small eatery that provides dine in or carry out options. The seating is limited, so plan on ordering take out if it is a busy time of day.The food is good, and there is a pretty decent list of options to choose from including vegetarian options. The cost is relatively inexpensive for what you get.

One of my favorite Thai spots, even tho our last visit was not the best experience on our order! But hey no one is perfect.Rice was very bland no seasoning.

This restaurant is a true gem! I am from Thailand and their food literally is the best....very close to what I used to eat back at home. Their Thai Boat Noodle, Pad Thai, Pad See Eww and Papaya Salad are my all time favorites!!!! Must try!!!

Review №23

2019-12-13 03:13:48

Good not great! Ordered the Pad See Ew and it was too sweet to my taste and did not have the smokey taste Im used to at my fave Thai place. Also got the Crispy Pork w/ Chinese brocolli and it was too expensive and should have been called Chinese Brocolli w/ 2 very thin pcs of Crispy pork because that is all there is to it. Half of the meal. I was just eating Brocolli. The only thing good about them is that they had the spicy condiments.I dont think I will ever be back esp parking is hard too. Every parking space says for Flame Broiler customer parking only.

This is a hole in the wall spot thats worth checking out. Good food and friendly staff, what more do you need? Its definitely no-frills so dont expect a high class experience. Very casual and quaint. Ive been several times and plan to go back.

Review №25

2019-12-05 06:01:07

Food was ok, service was ok. Definitely not the worst dining but definitely nothing to rant about. I had pad thai but it was far too sweet and also the thai tea was full of ice and hardly had any tea in it, also I left hungry so I think that speaks for itself. No plans to go back.

Review №26

2020-08-27 19:31:44

Good food from a small hole in the wall (make sure you park directly behind them or you can get towed on either side). Only reason for 4 star is portion size.

They make great food! However its a small restaurant so they have very little sitting space and it quickly gets crowded. They do have takeout though so I would recommend doing that.

Stir-fried minced beef with egg and rice. The condiments are also addictive. It also matches the Japanese palate. If you would like to order a take-out lunch box, we recommend that you call in advance.
