Food: Papaya salad came in cute pottery mortar container, generous portion, fresh ingredients, but a bit too sweet for me. So, I ordered some slice lime wedge to add for extra sour taste. 9Thai fried chicken is boneless chicken strip that over fried, dried & overpriced ($12.50 on the menu vs. $13.99 per real charge) Not recommended! Service: Ko Latt, my waiter is very nice, attentive, gave me $1 deduction when I commented about unmatched fried chicken prices. Ambiance: Cozy, clean, modern Thai decoration with one clean bathroom. Sum up: I would not go back to try papaya salad & fried chicken( I do like these two dishes as my go to comfort Thai food) Saw three types of Pad Thai on the menu and that will be what I get if I visit again next time. Deducted 1 star for dried & unmatched price. Another one because the papaya salad is too sweet according to authentic Thai papaya salad standard. read more

Awesome hole-in-the-wall mom-n-pop gem of a restaurant! I wanted to come in because this place is one of the few Thai restaurants that offer Khao Soi (a special curry noodle dish that feels like home for me). The Khao Soi was delicious and so filling! The curry broth is sweet and savory, and the chicken is tender and falls right off the bone. I also ordered the papaya salad and I thought it was super cool that they serve it right out of the mortar! Very tasty! Overall, a cute and authentic restaurant with yummy dishes. Would highly recommend! read more

Started visiting 9Thai via recommendation from a friend and raving reviews on how good the Khao Soi is. Let me tell you, we've tried it at many of the best Thai restaurants in Denver and this seems to be the best! We've never eaten in, but ordering takeout is a breeze and the food is always ready upon arrival. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant is usually medium busy. It's a cute little place on Colfax, not a ton of space to park but usually easy to grab quick street parking. The Khao Soi is fantastic - the fried chicken version is delicious and if you ask they will allow you to get a Tofu version as well. We've also tried the Pad Thai which was a bi disappointing, but the curries are where they really stand out. We drive nearly 40 minutes just for the Khao Soi! Well worth the visit. read more

9 Thai Restaurant - Khao Soi with Tofu - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is a hole in the wall, family owned, simple establishment. We went there because of the high ratings on Yelp. The host/server is from Thailand, and there is a large screen television on the back wall showing travel and food in Thailand (similar to the Travel Channel, but produced by a Thai blogger). We received courteous and efficient service, notable as in Denver you are always thirsty, and our host kept bringing us bottles of water, which was perceptive on his part. Now the food: This is the reason you come to 9 Thai. The food is excellent, well seasoned, beyond the heat, and ingredients cooked perfectly. We ordered edamame, potstickers, drunken noodles, eggplant basil and curry. Excellent food and reasonably priced. read more

The dining experience is no frills. The front and back staff are thai, and the focus is essentially the food rather than bar/ drinks. We have both dined in and taken out/ delivery over 10 times and it has been consistently delicious every time. Their Khao Soi is bursting with flavor and one of the best I've ever had, topped with crispy chicken. Kua Kai is a noodle similar to drunken noodles but less sauced and more delicious if that's even possible. Will always be our go-to when in the mood for Thai food and also one to show friends visiting town. read more

I am not sure what is going on here. The first time we went it was delicious. We have been 3 additional times with it getting worse every time. Makes me sad. My food was way over cooked and too spicey. My husband's Pad Thai was sticky. Even the peanuts were in clumps. The wings were on the border of being too sweet. Way too much sauce. Probably will look for a new Thai place. read more

The food was so good. Get a better amount of food than some other places nearby. I will definitely be going back.

It was disappointing that the boat noodle was made from powder mix. $20 for powder mix and water. I was expecting authentic boat noodle. I use the same powder mix and could def tell, also powder residue was on the side of the bowl. I would order something different if I ever came back. Service.was not great. read more

We love 9 Thai. Come here often for take out. The staff is so friendly. And every we've tried is so good but street pad thai is our favorite. read more

The food here was okay. Not terrible, but I have had better Thai food. The drunken noodles were not great. It lacked flavor. The larb chicken was good, but I wish it was served with lettuce and not small quartered pieces of cabbage. The papaya salad had too many chunky tomatoes and not enough papaya. The bathroom was a little weird - very small and not very clean. The service was good. We were the only ones there so if we needed anything, our server was ready to attend to us. read more

Amazing! Just had a lovely date night. The ambiance was romantic, the food was delish... I mean everything... the coconut soup, drunken noodles, seaweed salad and mango rice dessert. Yum!! read more

Cute and clean little spot on Colfax with amazing food but a wee bit disappointed they didn't have any alcohol even though it's on the menu. The server didn't explain why so I ordered a Thai green tea which is just too sweet for me. Otherwise we loved the ambiance and my Green Curry Chicken was amazing with a nice presentation. It's within walking distance so I will be back and maybe call ahead to see if we need to bring our own bottle of wine. read more

Stopped by to grab lunch - got drunken noodles and a Thai tea! Drunken noodles (3/5) - honestly for Denver this might be a 4/5, but comparing it to other drunken noodles I've had I would say that they taste good for what they are, but they are the incorrect flavor for drunken noodles. They're overly sweet and lack the umami and wok hei flavor for pad kee Mao. I also ordered it hot, and it was not spicy compared to Thai hot. I feel like what I got for hot is a mild or medium level spice. I got it with tofu and typically it's with the deep fried tofu, this tasted more like normal tofu pan fried. They were generous with the tofu pieces which I appreciated. Portions are good and prices are good! Noodles were a good consistency and although it was not a traditional drunken noodle flavor, the flavors were well developed. The Thai iced tea was good but could be a bit richer as it tasted watered down. read more

How splendid. I don't want anyone else to find this little gem but I also want it to survive the crazy that is Denver! What a fantastic place. Small, quiet, great service and the food. Wow. Truly amazing. Got TomKa soup and street pad Thai and both are hearty and fresh with so many beautiful spices. It's a must. Whenever we come back to visit family we will be coming back here. read more

Tried out this Thai place for takeout on a lazy Sunday and enjoyed the food! We got the street pad Thai, crab cheese wontons, and khao soi which I'd never had before. Everything was tasty and hot even after waiting for delivery. Also, when they say spicy they do mean it. Most places in Denver don't, so just be aware! We loved the spice. Will definitely be getting takeout from here again! read more

We did carry out and our order was not complete we received a personal phone call from the restaurant and they said they would contact the third party vendor for us and get us a refund. The food we did get was authentic and delicious read more

I've been here twice and really enjoyed it both times. I ordered the drunken noodles the first time and the street pad Thai the second time. The drunken noodles were good but the pad Thai was out of this world! So great I can't wait to go back. I love the ambiance and the service is quick. Definitely recommend! read more

My wife and I have really limited diets, for health reasons. We regularly order Pad Thai and Tomka at 9Thai without ever an issue. It is always really good and we both have leftovers the next day. I just tried the Street Pad Thai and was truly amazed. I had it delivered and was skeptical that it would not be hot when it got here. It was hot, yummy and tasted wonderful. I'll have to stop myself from inhaling what I normally reserve for 2 servings. Thank you read more

I ordered to-go from this place. Even though it's on a busy street - I was able to pull up pretty close and park along the street. I walked in and also got a soda from the cooler fridge behind the counter. The place is pretty small so I imagine they mostly do takeout. I ordered the Pad Thai (just plain) and was asked about heat level. My fiancé said he told them "low." He got the Basil Fried rice with the highest heat level. The food was ready when they told us (15 minutes). They guy who helped me was very nice and talkative. He let me know I was the first customer of the day. We got a ton of food for the one dish. My fiancé really enjoyed his fried rice - he at the whole thing. My pad thai was just okay. It was a little more dry than expected and it was way more spicier than expected. I can handle spice but I don't like when it turns my mouth numb and the taste takes over everything else. The price for the two dishes also seemed high seeing as though we didn't get protein in either. read more

Amazing food and service. Great for the kids. Highly recommend the street pad Thai and crispy chicken. Also the green curry was fantastic.

I've spent some time traveling around Thailand, I love Thai food, and I love 9 Thai Restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, very reasonable prices, and great people who are always SUPER friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It's not fancy, nor is it supposed to be. Kind of a SE Asia street food vibe, as depicted by the street food scene on the interior wall. Laid back place with good food and good people. The green curry and street pad Thai are two of my favorites here. Street parking only, but usually plenty of spots close. Go, relax, enjoy! read more

I've ordered for pickup twice and dined in twice, trying different dishes. The food is just "fine", never actually bad, but they seem to lack focus in terms follow through on the little things. Examples: once I asked that my pad thai not be soooo sweet. No adjustment was made. Spice level never seems to be addressed. Today I asked for medium, when I got the food home it was spiceless. Also, no slice of lime to add some acidity to the noodles. Last order was similarly not spicy at all. Today I got pad woon sen. Noodle to veg&tofu ratio was not so good - though I guess the noodles are technically made from beans, so there's that. Still, I'd like a bit more veg and a bit less noodles than what I got. Sauce was very plain, I didn't really taste or smell any fish sauce. Portion was overall generous but we're now paying $15 for a single serving take out order from most places, and due to that I'd like them to take some more care getting things right. read more

9 Thai Restaurant - Misleading first look, there's a thick layer of noodles under a thin top layer of veg&tofu. - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I really like the moo tom yum! I've only had it to go so I bet it's even better in person. The papaya salad was watered down the first time I got it but enjoyable the second time. However considering it is a green papaya salad, I feel like it comes with so much more of everything else (carrots, green beans, carrots, tomatoes) than the actual green papaya. read more

Rude + Dishonest = This place is dead to me. I've been giving this place consistent business since late 2019 when I discovered it down the street from my place. In my opinion, it's usually really good but sometimes is a bit of a miss (more lately than before). One thing that has always been on point, especially to go, is the Thai iced tea. It's like 32 ounces and always really good. (Edit: you can literally look at a picture on here where someone mentions they have the biggest Thai tea ever.) Until today. I wanted one so I drove the whole two minutes down the street to order a drink, paying my $5.40 for the Thai tea (plus tip, of course) only to have the lady come out with a 16-ounce cup of tea. Let's take things one step further. Upon inquiring, I was met with a firm declaration that that was the only size they had, and that they always had. Lies. I stated that it was simply untrue, and that it was at least 1.5, if not 2x the size usually. She firmly told me they only had one size, and that that was the size. She then budged slightly, telling me it used to be 20 ounces instead of 16. Double lies. 20 ounces is your standard large size from a boba shop. Theirs used to be SIGNIFICANTLY larger, and it was really good. That's why I'd come here, after all. I asked for a refund because I'm not paying six dollars for 16 ounces of Thai tea, and she gave it back to me. She still has my tip money, and that's okay. The rude stare she gave me as she slammed the refund receipt down onto the bar was the icing on the cake to ensure they never get a single cent of my money ever again. I work way too hard to earn it and create value in the world to spend it at a place that lies to its customers and treats them rudely. It appears COVID hit their business, but to be dishonest AND rude about it? You could have apologized about the size and maybe even offered the truth, that you needed to reduce your size for the sake of staying in business? People understand in this world if you can connect and be honest with them. But if you are rude and lie about it, I don't care how good your food is. And the food isn't as good as it used to be, anyways. This place doesn't deserve my business so I'm not going to give it to them. I would suggest you do the same if you value your money and want to be treated decently. read more

9 Thai Restaurant - the new size of $6 thai tea - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I don't like writing bad reviews, but I feel it's important to share bad experiences, especially consistent bad experiences with a place rated 4 stars. I had bad experiences with this place 2 years ago. I did not write the review and decided to just avoid it. Until today. My husband ordered because it was close and didn't want to go too far away. We had the Panang chicken, fried tofu, and cream cheese pockets. All horrible. Watery tasteless curry, light on vegetables and protein, refried, tasteless tofu/dipping sauce, cream cheeseless pockets. Barely edible. Did I mention the brown rice out of a microwave bag? Ugh. What a waste of money. If you like this place, to each his own. But if your money is dear and you like Thai food, there are many other good options; I would suggest you try elsewhere. read more

This place is legit Thai food. It's always hard to find good Thai food. Especially in Denver, my friend had recommended this place. So I had to come check it out. I am really picky when it comes to Thai food but when you grow up on Thai and Lao food, I have high expectations. We were there around 3 pm so it wasn't busy. We had a very late lunch. Haha. I saw Khao Soy noodles on the menu and was immediately sold. I originally came because I heard they have boat noodles. And I haven't had boat noodles since my trip to Thailand last summer. It's funny that's what I was craving and I didn't even get it. But my friend did. And they have khao mun gai on the menu! Which I never see on menus. I will have to try it next time. My mom used to make this dish all the time. But she's been too busy lately or makes it when we request it. So I can fulfill a craving if my mom's too busy to make it. First--their spice level is Thai level spicy. Even the medium is super spicy. I should have gotten mild but it's been hit or miss at Thai restaurants in Colorado. So I didn't want to be disappointed by the spice level. But definitely know next time to get mild. Y'all, that khao soy is fire! Definitely one of my favorites. I will be back for the khao soy. Like I said, I got medium and it was a little spicy for me but I still loved it. Don't get me wrong. With each bite, I couldn't stop. I wanted more even if my mouth was burning. My friend got the nam tok and it was flavorful. But I don't know if it was my favorite but again, the last time I had nam tok noodles was actually in Thailand. She really enjoyed it. This place didn't leave us disappointed. If you are looking for legit Thai food. This place is it. I will definitely be back at least for the khao soy noodles but I think I will actually have to try the nom tok noodles for myself to see if it's legit or not. But if you are craving Thai food, give this place a try. read more

My mentee, who is from Thailand, brought me here for lunch because she loves one particular menu item: the chicken noodle soup. She said it really brought her back to her childhood. After giving it a try, I was excited to write about it on here. Except I can't quite find the right words to describe it. Might be something among the lines of, "Yeah, I felt that." This place is quite the hidden gem. On the outside, you might find it a little dusty and hard to find. Once you come inside, there's a cute hipster vibe that doesn't really do its authenticity justice. But once you taste the chicken noodle soup on a cold winter day, life is just beautiful. Worthy to note is also the Thai tea boba here. The glasses must have been the size of my face, if only my face were a little taller. Although the boba could have been a little softer, I was very impressed with its presentation. Clearly we couldn't finish our glasses after devouring the large bowls of soup, so they gave us to-go cups. Overall a very pleasant lunch that made our nostalgic selves and our bellies very happy! read more

9 Thai Restaurant - Quick menu/specials! - Thai Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. It is only a small 7-8 table restaurant. It was clean. When we went in the cashier/waitress was sitting in her stand. She told us to sit wherever we wanted. We were the only people there. We were brought small cups of water and a bottle of water. The menu is a QR code. The server took our order of fried rice and pad Thai. Brought it out and we never saw her again. I had to go up and get the check. Which I did not even get an itemized bill. She only ran my card. The food was ok. Nothing special. Did not taste medium. So, kind of bland. The service was not good. I will not be going back read more

Thai coffee: 5 stars. Definitely one of the better Thai coffee I've had. Sweet and creamy and not watered down. Papaya salad: 3.8 stars. Good flavors. Would have given it a five if it had some dried shrimp and the cabbage should have been shredded. Not sure why there were big chunks of cabbage over the papaya salad - the container was too small to try and mix in the cabbage. Pad Thai:3 stars. There was no chili next to the pad Thai on the menu so I assumed it would not be spicy. However it was pretty spicy for some of the people in my group so that ruined it. They should put the chili next to it on the menu to show that it will be spicy. Shrimp and large and tasted good. Panama curry: 3 stars. Seafood were fine but the curry was so watered down like a soup. Not sure if it's just me but I'm used to the curry being a little thicker- more like a sauce vs soupy. Because it was watered down didn't seem to have much flavors. Tom Kha chicken soup: 3 stars. broth had good flavors - creamy and tangy coconut flavors. I didn't care too much for the chunks of tomatoes. Nothing made it standout much. Garlic tofu: 4 my favorite dish of the meal. Savory fried tofu. Tasted great albeit had a bit of heat. Luckily my little one liked tofu and was willing to eat it with rice and water. Food was decent- perhaps those of you who like spicy food will enjoy the meal more than we did. read more

I made reservations for Friday night, but when we got there, it wasn't busy at all so I don't think you need reservations. The inside decor was ok. The place and the bathrooms are clean. We ordered the edamame and fried tofu for starters. Both are good, but nothing special. Then we ordered chicken pad see ew, beef fried rice, and chicken Panang Curry. We ordered all three mild, but it was still a little spicier than what I thought. My favorite was a pad see ew, which had wide pan noodles but thinly sliced which I liked. The flavors were good. Prices weren't bad. Service was great as the waiter was fast, efficient and attentive. read more
