Nine & Nine is a small Thai restaurant on Colorado in Pasadena, with very generous portions of food. I stopped by here around 7PM on a Sunday and thankfully was able to find street parking quickly (bonus--parking was free on Sundays). The menu is pretty simple but has all of the Thai standards like noodles, curry, and rice dishes. I opted for the Pad Thai, which was delicious. It came with chicken as well as two pieces of shrimp, and the portion was very generous. The food also came out in around 10 minutes, which I was very grateful for as I was pretty hungry when I ordered. The cafe is fairly casual and there were several people picking up takeout orders. Most dishes were under $20 which I think is very fair in this day and age. Definitely looking to return and trying some of their other dishes (fried rice looked good, maybe I'll try that next). read more

Nine & Nine Thai Kitchen - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Pasadena, California

Nine & Nine Thai kitchen is the definition of a great neighborhood hole in the wall spot. No frills, with just a handful of tables inside and some patio seating but the food is consistently excellent. Their daily lunch special (11am -3pm) is one of the best deals around for only $14. It comes with your preferred protein entree, a side salad, white rice and your choice of 2 egg rolls or chicken potstickers. My favorite is their cashew nut chicken, extra spicy. The beef and broccoli is great too. The food is always flavorful, fresh and the portions are generous. They have a great menu with a lot of appetizers, soups, noodles and your favorite Thai dishes. They have a nice list of dessert options including mango sticky rice and homemade coconut Ice cream. Online ordering is available too but service is always fast and friendly. Street parking is no longer free in Pasadena as of 2026. Lots of paid parking in nearby lots. This is a must try spot for authentic and affordable Thai food in Pasadena's playhouse district. read more

This place is cool! We have wanted to go for a long time, finally pulled the trigger. Worth it. The food was solid and large portions. The server was kinda impersonal, but we got our food relatively quickly. Give it a try. read more

Great Food and service! I've been driving by here for years and years and today I thought we'd slide on in. Really good stuff also made sure that they had no MSG. Our waitresses were very nice. Great place will definitely come back. Good food. We were able to grab a quick bite and chill. Food also comes out fast. Thank you read more

Lovely little restaurant with fast service! Great location. There's free or metered street parking all around the block. We chose to sit outside, where it's fully shaded and surrounding by plants. The food comes out quickly and tastes pretty good. The egg rolls were so crispy and full. I could probably just eat egg rolls. I also got the grilled pork with sticky rice. There was a generous amount of pork and it was soo juicy. I love that they offer sticky rice with their savory dishes. I'm definitely going to come back again to enjoy their lunch specials. read more

Very good Thai food, recommended by the staff at our hotel. We had the papaya salad, the green curry lunch special with pork, and the mango sticky rice dessert. All are delicious and very authentic. This place is small, not fancy but the food is definitely worth a visit. read more

My fav thai restaurant in Pasadena! I've read some of the reviews saying service feels rushed, but I've been many times & haven't experienced that. If anything, they're efficient & food comes out quickly. Love their pad thai, crab fried rice, & mango sticky rice. Both indoor & outdoor seating available & restroom available for customers. Located right across Target & there's lots of nearby street parking. read more

Located in downtown Pasadena, this Thai food restaurant is cooking up dishes for dine in and take out. During my most recent visit, there were a lot of people dropping in to pick up orders to-go. There are indoor and outdoor seating options so that's convenient when the weather is really nice outside. Tried the Tom Yum soup, Papaya Salad, and Pad Thai. Food was good, but had the same few ingredients in every dish -- meaning, I would have preferred more distinction on taste. The servers were nice but the experience felt rushed. Wouldn't be my first choice for Thai food when back in town, but I would be open to giving this spot another try. read more

They have such a beautiful storefront with all these plants and greenery. It's a testament to them that they have an even bigger Thai restaurant competing with them 2 doors down and they're still here. I can see why, their food is delicious and they have great customer service. I always enjoy coming here after visiting Vroman's across the street. I've had their green curry, pad kee mao, tried the fried sweet and sour fish, and their fried rice. Everything was amazing. In particular though, the fish and fried rice were standouts. Most flavorful rice I've ever had, and the fish was fantastic! So crispy despite being smothered in a delicious sauce that's different from Chinese sweet and sour. I think theirs has tamarind among other things. read more

Small, charming restaurant. Wouldn't recommend for parties larger than 6. They have indoor and exterior seating. The service is quick and friendly. The food was good. I would come again and order other things. One unisex restroom. They don't gave toilet seat covers and they only have a hand dryer. Probably wouldn't go #2 there - just hold it. read more

PARKING: Parked in a lot near the Pasadena Playhouse and walked over. SEATING: There are lots of seats inside and outside but they fill up quick! Came to eat here before a play at 7PM at the Playhouse and got there around 5:10PM. Inside was completely full but outside had seating. It was nice! But there was a 20 minute wait after we sat down. SERVICE: It seemed a bit slow as I was sat outside but I didn't need much. They took the order and the food came out promptly. Just didn't see anyone again until the check and boxes were needed. No complaints really. I'm sure they are attentive when they aren't slammed. FOOD: Wow! Food came out quick and piping hot! The appetizers were amazing! The way they breaded the calamari had such an interesting contrast with the squid that I kept going back to it! So flavorful especially with the sauce. The pad thai was amazing! The right firmness with the noodles and the taste was phenomenal! Wish they added more shrimp as there were only 2 but I get it. There was plenty of chicken though! Chicken in every bite and a healthy amount of beansprouts. Was even better with the pickled chili. OVERALL: Usually I get Blaze before watching a play at the Playhouse but this will be my new spot to go to now. Just a great spot with great vibes!! read more

Met some friends here for a nice Thai dinner. Food was incredible! Vegetable egg rolls - I didn't sample but they were crispy and a decent size. Good value Crab Rangoon - I really liked these as they had more crab filling than most Pineapple Fried Rice - tasty but the protein was lacking Pad See Ew - perfectly cooked and nice flavor. We got ours with shrimp and the shrimp were a nice size Yellow Curry Chicken - hit the spot for the curry lover in our party. We got no spiciness but it seemed a bit on the sweet side Basil Chicken - Chicken was tender and dish was flavorful but could definitely use more basil Tom Yum soup - added fish for the protein and there were lots of big pieces of fish. Super tasty Service was very good and we liked the ambiance. read more

Nine & Nine did not disappoint! I stopped by at lunch for the first time and thought that the lunch special was great value, considering it was $12.50. I think it's definitely hard to come by nowadays, especially at dine-in restaurants. The lunch special comes with an entree, salad, and a choice of egg rolls or dumplings. I ordered the lunch yellow curry with two egg rolls (which were sooo delicious). The yellow curry was perfectly creamy and spicy. My only complaint is that the beef was on the dry side. Service was great. Only thing is parking there's limited street parking and it's all metered. read more

I came here for mango sticky rice and a Singha beer. Before i was even half done eating the rice and mango, they brought the check and stuck it in the middle of the table. Then, they came back every 5 minutes to ask if I wanted to pay the bill although I hadn't finished my food. One lady went through all options, do you want to Apple Pay, do you want visa, do you want to pay cash???? Pressure, pressure, pressure to turn the table and get you out of the place. Did I mention that I still hadn't finished my food? Food was good. Singha beer is always nice, but if they want to turn tables to maximize profits, they need to set a time limit and hold all diners to the limit. read more

We went to eat about an hour before the establishment closed and I was surprised that the restaurant has many customers still there, being seated, picking up orders. We found a good booth and sat down. We ordered our food and waited a couple of minutes before our food was at our table. The food was so good. I missed what good Thai food tastes like as our favorite Thai restaurant closed down near our house. I would definitely recommend eating here as they are prompt in service and have tasty food. If I'm in the area again, this is a place to go to! read more

Our usual Thai spot was closed today, so decided to give this place a try. Ordered takeout, and everything went smoothly. Food was ready quickly and was delicious! They even included a beautiful flower in with my mango sticky rice. The mango was nice and ripe, and everything was delicious. I ate the whole thing, which is rare for me. Will order from this place again. I highly recommend the mango sticky rice. It's a favorite dish of mine, and theirs is perfection. read more

Really good curry! Came across this place after taking a pilates class nearby. We got seated outside right away since it was a nice day out and got our orders in. I ordered the chicken panang curry with their eggrolls. They have a lunch special running on weekends which is rare. Lunch special was about $12, and came with one entree, a side salad, and choice of egg rolls or dumplings. The curry was super good, mild spice, came with bell peppers and a lot of chicken. The sauce was a good texture, and the bell peppers were fresh and not overcooked. The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the egg rolls. Would love to come back to try their other entrees for lunch! read more

Discriminates against disabled guests. Refused service because of my service dog. They never even asked me if he performed a service. Rude and illegal. My dog is a service dog that performs medical alert and is not an emotional support dog. read more

Delicious option for take-out Thai food. They have a wide selection of Thai food options, as well as a sweet lunch special menu that is budget-friendly. The restaurant space has "hole-in-the-wall" feels. I enjoy ordering take-out when wanting to eat local Thai food. There's a bookstore and a Target across the street that you can visit while waiting for your food. I ordered their Pad Kee Mao. Delish! Large chunks of tomato, bell peppers and whatever protein you choose. The noodles were chewy - just like I like them. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! The food is phenomenal. Their Pad See Ew is perfectly done--the noodles have just the right texture, and the chicken and veggies are sautéed to perfection with a great balance of flavors. The dish with Chinese broccoli and crispy pork (don't know the nane) in that incredible sauce is seriously addictive! The eggplant with tofu is also a must-try. They also offer a wide variety of generous lunch specials, which come with veggie rolls or chicken dumplings. Service is quick, and the place is spotless. Highly recommended! read more

Good authentic Thai food in Pasadena. Their Chicken Yellow Curry is delicious as well as their Eggplant with Tofu.The Pad See Eu was just ok, a little moshy, I think the noodles were little over cooked, though the flavor was good. Service is fast and good customer service. It's a tiny place and gets real busy. Good friendly atmosphere and clean. I will definitely come back to try the rest of their menus read more

Nine & Nine Thai Kitchen - 90 Yellow Curry Pork Garlic Lunch - Thai Near Me - Pasadena, California

This spot was a pretty decent Thai place with very affordable prices. It's a small little spot with indoor as well as outdoor seating. This is what I tried. Green Curry - It's a classic green curry. It was creamy and flavorful. I paid extra for the brown rice. It wasn't brown rice, but more like multigrain rice just FYI. Got it with chicken and overall enjoyed it. (4.5/5) House Tom Yum Noodle Soup - This reminded me of pho. It had many similarities as Vietnamese food but with a sourish Tom Yum. It was good, I enjoyed it. (4/5) This is a pretty solid spot. It's not the best Thai that I've had but it's pretty good. Service was pretty good as well. Not the prettiest spot but not bad for grabbing a quick bite. Spent $30 for two dishes, which is very reasonable. Parking - I parked on the street across from the restaurant. It was 2 hour parking. Few other paid lots around as well. read more
