One of my favorite local places. They have specials every night on drinks and food at really affordable prices. Very spacious so great for strollers, and the staff is super helpful and really nice. The drinks are also pretty strong :)

My wife and I are foodies. We’ve traveled the world and enjoy eating traditional and authentic cuisines. We will typically go out of our way to have authenticity and quality over convenience. This typically leads us to eating Indian in Jackson heights, Astoria when we want Greek and so on. Here my unbiased opinion on nine Thai: Food: Nine Thai is delicious. It is one of the few restaurants in NYC that closely resembles our travels through Thailand. We love the soups, pad see ew and curries. You can read reviews commenting its inauthenticity, but those people may never had the chance to taste authentic Thai food. They could also be people who associate what Chinese food should taste like based on the Panda Express stall queens center mall. It isn’t those reviewers fault though from the many Thai restaurants we’ve eaten at in forest hills nine Thai isn’t afraid to use ingredients like fish sauce and galagang which most of us Americans aren’t accustom to. Also, it has a fragrance that again most Americans aren’t used to. Service: Listen, know what you’re getting into. The owner makes the food from scratch. She sometimes also has to be the delivery person because these slander reviews can take a toll on a business. We plan for pickup and usually add 20 minutes to the estimated time we are given. And we do so happily knowing that every dish, including the soups, are made to order. Other restaurants will have a huge pot of Tom kha sitting there and you pay for it in quality. Also, the owner is a bit of sassy if you give attitude. Be kind, be patient, be appreciative of good food being cooked from scratch and you will have a 4 star service experience. Atmosphere: I repeat, know what you’re getting into. The place is well decorated. But yes, most of her business is takeout and she will be the owner, waitress and sometimes chef. Sometimes my wife and I will eat in because nothings better than delicious hot soup served right away. I decided to give a 4 star for atmosphere and not 3 because I am knowingly walking in expecting her to be busy. Overall: If you want to try authentic southern Thai food and don’t mind waiting for food to be cooked from scratch then nine Thai is a great option. It happens to be right around the corner for us which makes us thrilled to have them as a yummy option.

I ordered the omelets with rice and minced chicken with holy basil. It’s was delicious. Rice was cooked to perfection, the chicken dish was made to order, with a delicious spicy taste that you will never forget. Must go to on the menu.

I don't know what the people below are talking about. I've lived down the block for years and I order for delivery at least twice a month. Food is delicious every time. I've also eaten there before and it was fine. The lunch special is great and affordable.

First off I have to say I love the fact that this restaurant is one of few restaurants that stay open late. The few times I have ordered take out the food been so delicious and fresh. The drunken noodles is amazing. The owner is very nice and friendly. She introduced me to watermelon Mountain Dew and now I like having it with my food.

First restaurant we tried in the neighbourhood. The service was good but we could have done with a bit of a/c. The food was really good, prawns were a good size and the pineapple fried rice was really nice and tasty.
