Pumpkin Red Curry
Rishi J.

Stopped by Archa Nine Thai Kitchen on Old Todds Road for lunch while visiting Lexington, and it was a great find. The decor is modern and welcoming -- a nice, clean space with a relaxed vibe. We started with hot sake and vegetable spring rolls, which were fresh and light. For the main course, we had the Spicy Basil Fried Rice with chicken and the Red Pumpkin Curry with veggies and fried tofu -- both packed with flavor and perfectly spiced. The curry especially stood out with its rich, comforting taste. Service was smooth, and everything came out fresh and hot. This place hits the mark on food and atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd return to next time I'm in town.

Chicken pad Thai
Dar Z.

The atmosphere when you walk in isn't the most inviting but the food is fantastic and very authentic and full of flavor. I always have a hard time not ordering the chicken pad that because it's one of my favorite dishes no matter what Thai restaurant I eat at. Split an order of the chicken pad Thai and peppered beef. Got both at a 2/5 spiciness level. The pad Thai was routinely good but wish I'd asked for a 3/5 spice level because there was basically none with the 2. However, with the peppered beef it felt more like a 3/4 spice level. If you like peppery things, as much as I do, this dish is perfect for you. If it wasn't slightly too spicy for me I probably would have slurped the remaining sauce out of the bowl because of the amount of flavor. Both dishes were very good sized portions and came out super quick ( less than 5 minutes). I've had the duck and pad see ew here before also and both were solid. Probably can't go wrong with any dish you choose

Garlic lover

I got to go to archa nine recently and had heard excellent things about it. I ordered the garlic lover chicken which was fantastic as well as a Thai tea. I would definitely recommend and will be going back!

Singapore noodles
Lovoria W.

This is our go to Thai. The food is excellent, large portion sizes and consistently yummy. The service is superb and the servers are friendly. The restaurant is not noisy. Great place for a business meeting or family dinner. The mixed drinks are also good. Yumm

Duck
Elizabeth W.

We just had dinner last night and the food was amazing!! My bf got the duck and i got chicken yellow curry with avocado. We both loved our meals and service. Recommend going.

Kua Gai - very tasty!

Such a delicious spot that is consistently clean and on point. Everything we've tried has been delicious. They are particular about their hours and won't seat you past a certain time but I appreciate holding a strong boundary for their staff.

Pad See-Ew pork and chicken
Vicky C.

Wanted to try a new Thai restaurant tonight for dinner so decided to come here. This was my first going and I got the Pork Pad Se Ew spice level 3. I also ended up getting a pad se ew shrimp Togo. I love the noodles they were perfect chewy texture and flavor was good other than at the end it got really salty since a lot of the sauce went to the bottom of the plate. The service was great and it's a very cute clean restaurant. I think it's a perfect place for groups or date. Would definitely go back!

Noodle Kee Mao  Delicious!
Josie A.

Great place, servers are nice and helpful. Spice levels are something to try! Ambiance is Good for a date night.

Tofu Satay
Meera K.

If you're ever in the Lexington area, check out Archa nine! We did some research before hand to find a good Asian restaurant but were reassured by several people that we had to check it out and they weren't wrong! Outside of the long wait we had to get seated (for some reason the hostess was unavailable) the rest of the experience was great. We started with tofu satay that came with a creamy peanut sauce. Then moved on to pumpkin red curry and kee mao noodles. They have a good range of spice level, we picked Thai hot and it packed a punch for sure. We loved it. The red curry came with steamed tofu and the noodles came with fried tofu. Tons of veggies in the red curry which was great. Service was good, and ample parking in the lot. Located in the outskirts of downtown but easily accessible!

Decided to try out OSHA the day before Thanksgiving and was not a fan. The place was empty and the…read moreservice was just OK. We sat at the bar and felt rushed to order. We later learned it was the bartender's last day. I ordered the drunken noodles ($15) with vegetables at a level four spice. And my friend ordered the Tom Yum soup ($14) with chicken at a level five Thai spice. Mine had minimal spice (level 5 is the highest). It tasted more sweet but was lacking flavor. My friend said hers was lacking flavor as well, but it did have more spice to it.. The restaurant had a nice ambience based on where it was located and it had a lot of sitting space, but I'm not sure if I would go back to try it again.

Thought it was a good idea to stop by for the posted "Happy Hour"...unfortunately, once I entered…read morethe lone server informed me that she was not aware of what the actual Happy Hour menu or cocktails were. She made a reference to not being familiar with register system & after trying to look there, nothing was showing as happy hour options. She also overshared that the owners have another location & were too busy to respond to her attempts to contact them about her questions. She was nice but very uninformed or prepared to serve. I noticed her also walk outside to read the signage that posted happy hour to confirm if my timeframe was correct...it was. Any who, I ordered Crab Ragoon. Filling was good but felt a little slighted as puffs were on the lighter side. Less fuller than other places. Sauce provided was good. I only got water, not interested in a full priced cocktail before 5pm. Just disappointed that I could not benefit in a happy hour experience, during happy hour. The big plus for me was the amazing Playlist (old-school r&b). I will try them again, I like the quaint space.

Amazing indeed lots to try. BUT the Golden spare ribs have stayed on my mind for weeks. Pot…read morestickers were next level, then a little different take on the broccoli beef. Loved it all

Today, my husband and I had a very unpleasant experience at J2C Restaurant. This was the first time…read moresince moving to the United States that I felt we were treated in a way that made us question whether racial bias was involved. On Sunday, July 5, we went to J2C for lunch. A male server seated us at a table that was quite dark and directly under a strong air conditioner. I politely asked if we could move to a table by the window. He said yes, but told us to wait while he cleaned the table. My husband and I waited patiently by the other table, looking through the menu. During that time, we saw the male server come out several times to serve other customers, but he never came back to us or acknowledged that we were still waiting. We didn't complain--we simply continued waiting. 15 minutes later, a female server noticed us waiting there and asked if we needed anything. I explained that our original table was too cold and asked whether we could move to the window table. She said yes, cleaned the table, and then waved for us to come over and sit down. At that point, everything seemed fine, and we were looking forward to ordering our lunch. However, shortly afterward, the male server walked directly over to us and began scolding us. He said, "You need to learn to be patient. I told you I would clean the table, and you shouldn't have moved without communicating with me." I calmly explained that the female staff server had cleaned the table and told us to sit there. I asked him, "What did we do wrong?" He replied, "Yes, everyone made a mistake. You just need to learn to be patient." I still don't understand what we did wrong. The female employee who told us to move to the window side table was also works for the restaurant, We simply followed her instructions. So why were we being blamed? From the moment we entered the restaurant until we left--nearly 20 minutes later--the male server never once came over to check on us or even offered us a glass of water. In the end, we decided not to eat there because we did not feel respected or welcomed. We will not be returning. This was an extremely disappointing experience and reflected very poor customer service and restaurant management. I sincerely hope the management will look into what happened and ensure that all customers are treated with courtesy, respect, and fairness.
