I would give them a 4.5!!! I just haven't tried other things on the menu to give a 5. The appetizer and mango sticky rice were sooo tasty. I'd definitely return. Good service, nice people!! Nice place had good amount of space and outside seating. read more

That little facade taxi out front finally reeled me in. Cozy outdoor and indoor dining areas. An eclectic choice of indoor decor - chandelier and a vintage bicycle on the wall. Some of their favorite things? I wanted to keep the meal light. A small coconut chicken soup and fresh veggie spring roll. Soup was good, easy on the coconut cream and lots of mushrooms. Fresh spring rolls would be a tad better if there was a bit more of mint to give it a little punch for the tofu. A bowl Of peanut sauce on the side was not bad but not heavy on that peanut almost butter taste and consistency. I'm used to having spring rolls with shrimp that helps with flavor. Bbq ribs had this sauce. I couldn't make it out but it was good, just didn't get expect the ribs to be served in a sauce. The tips of the ribs were a little dr. The ribs in general were easy to eat since the rest were tender (besides the tips) Thai tea was tall and cold. I prefer more of the tea than cream. I prefer heavy take on that orange color tea :) Staff was friendly. I'd be back to try their signature pad see noodles When I'm In the neighborhood. read more

Best deal in the neighborhood!! Pad See Ew - flavorful and fresh. - The best in Pasadena. This is my new favorite neighborhood restaurant, can't recommend it enough. The staff is super helpful and nice. Do yourself a favor and stop by. read more

Every thing I've eaten here has been on point good stuff,servers are friendly when ever in Pasadena it's a must stop .

Every time I visit Vroman's to get a book, I always see Nine & Nine and never try it. Finally got to try it out today! Friends and I shared our 3 dishes family style. Red curry was a delicious change of pace bc I usually get yellow curry. White rice came in an adorable flower shape. Bamboo shoots in the curry were slim and not as wide as other places! Pad see ew was standard and basil fried rice (both eaten too quickly) had a seared and greasy flavor. Thai tea is on the sweeter side but had a good time with friends either way. read more

Nine & Nine is an institution in Pasadena! There isn't a bad thing on the menu. You really can't go wrong with whatever you order, but I find myself returning time and again to the Pad See Ew. I also find their fried rice irresistible! They have great lunch specials, and an adorable outdoor space. I love to take quick business lunches here because I know the service will be fast and the food will always be excellent. Highly recommended! read more

Servers were super nice and helpful, the food was delicious and fresh with a bit of kick, perfect to me.

This is a small Thai restaurant in Pasadena. There's some seating inside and outside. The food is pretty good and the spice level is definitely there! We ordered to go and the food was ready in a timely manner. - Spicy Catfish: The spicy sauce was delicious, the fish was crispy - however I thought it was a bit overcooked. It came with a side of rice. - Pineapple Curry: My favorite! Sweet and savory! It came with a side of rice. - Thai Toast: This was kind of like a savory version of a French toast but with meat. read more

If you read a bad review from a guy named Rod, please take it with a grain of salt. This guy sat at his table for over 30 minutes sipping on water and staring at his phone while he was done with his food. All while they were getting hit with a rush of people and needed the table for other customers. He even admitted the food is good. He just felt the world needed to revolve around him. Their food and service are great! read more

My husband and I had an amazing lunch at Nine & Nine Thai! I ordered the chicken yellow curry lunch special, and it came with two crispy egg rolls, rice, and a fresh salad--perfectly portioned and full of flavor. The curry was rich, creamy, and just the right amount of spice. I paired it with a Thai iced coffee, and it hit the spot! My husband had the chicken panang curry and chicken fried rice with a Thai tea, and he was just as impressed. The panang had a deliciously deep flavor and the fried rice was savory with tender pieces of chicken throughout. The service was quick and friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. Great portions, great prices, and great flavor--we'll definitely be back! read more

I came in on a Saturday night around 7. We parked across the street on the street. The decorations both outside and inside were cute. The place is small so be aware of that if you plan to come during rush hour. We ordered the Thai toast and Pad See Ew. The toast was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting the sauce to be on the sweeter side but it paired well. I really liked the cucumbers that were part of the sauce. I felt like the Pad See Ew was pretty standard. Nothing super amazing about it but that's not to say that it wasn't good. It was still enjoyable and filled me up! Our server was nice and patiently waited while we decided on what to order. read more

Cute little Thai eatery directly across from Target. Friendly staff. We are always served right away no matter what time of day we go. Not as expensive as Saladang or President Thai, it's much more affordable but their amazing food is just as good. I love their pad see ew and pad thai read more

Delicious authentic Thai food. We have tried many in the neighborhood and while there are a few that are good we like Nine and Nine the best. We tried their Coconut Soup Tom Kha with chicken, Pad See Ew Noodles, Eggplant Basil and Basil leaves with Chicken. All the dishes were so flavorful with a good portion of protein. We thought the portion size to price was fair. Their service and hospitality is very good also. read more

Small parking lot in the back! Friendly staffs and good food! Went there for early dinner on Wednesday around 5:30pm, and there're half table full already. I love restaurant that has indoor and outdoor seating. Another big plus about their outdoor seating is the patio is all shaded, also the seating is separate from the sidewalk (some restaurants put tables on the sidewalk). read more

I was glad to have discovered this place where all our ordering came out. The curry was yellow and very tasty and well balanced in terms of spice and creaminess. The tofu and eggplant dish was cooked in a perfect way with the appropriate texture and richness of taste. Even the Pad See Ew that can be very uneven elsewhere tasted very comforting and even had a nice wok char. The noodles were tender and yet delightful, particularly when it was accompanied by the sauce that put it together. The service was fast and polite, and even the small space seemed to be clean and inviting in times of heavy traffic. It has that low key feel that you can have a no frills meal that is not in your face yet you can still walk away with a full stomach. Certainly will be returning and ordering more items in the menu. A great local find! read more

Nine and Nine has been on my list of Thai restaurants to try for quite some time. Recently a family member ordered their food and delivered it to me for lunch. My go to item at most Thai restaurants is Crispy Catfish. I love seafood. The crunchiness and spicy sauce of this dish is my favorite. At Nine and Nine this particular dish is cooked off the bone (sliced filet of catfish) and skinless. It is breaded like a chicken nugget and deep fried with the sauce on the side. I can see how many would prefer this, and it delivers on crunch. Personally I prefer the fish cooked on the bone, which keeps it more tender, and I love crispy skin. The sauce itself is delicious. Not too thick, and you can see the basil and green peppercorn strands inside. It tastes great with steamed rice. The other dish I tried was the Thai green beans with chicken. The beans are delicious and seasoned well with lots of sauce. I found the chicken to be a bit dry - again it appears to be boneless chicken breast sliced up, which is personally not my favorite. I can see it appealing to many though. The flavor is spot on. It tastes great with steamed rice. I look forward to trying more of their dishes in the future. read more

Amazing neighborhood thai place that we regularly order from. Personally love the egg rolls, pad thai as a classic, and all the curry's have been yummy too. Really consistent read more

I ordered the chicken pad see ew spicy as a to-go order. The flavor was deep and rich, but there was no spiciness at all. The chicken was overcooked and tough, and there were barely any vegetables. Maybe the takeout format affected the outcome. Hard to say. With more tender chicken and a better balance of ingredients, this could have been a much stronger dish. read more

I just got take out from here maybe 30 minutes ago. I wish I was already hungry again. The food is incredible! Solid 9.7/10 for me. The only reason it's not a 10 is because I ordered a beef red curry and got a green chicken. That small faux pas was vastly overshadowed by how delicious the Green chicken curry was. read more

Super nice and quaint thai restaurant near old Pasadena. It has a beautiful plant-like entrance and has both indoor and outdoor. It's not quite in the main part of old town so parking was very easy. It only took about 5 minutes for seating, and it was near noon on a Saturday as well. They have a nice sized menu, and we decided on the lunch specials with chicken and baby corn with mushrooms and the yellow curry chicken (non spicey). Both dishes were great. We ordered them with steamed rice, egg rolls, and Thai iced tea. The prices were amazing. $30.00 for all of this. Great place. I will go back again when I visit Pasadena. read more

I ate here the first time and it was really good. I took my coworkers here for the second time and you could not even eat the food. The pad Thai was so overcooked. The noodles were mushy and too sweet. It was like eating sugar. The chicken sate was so tough and Dry,could not eat it. The beef dishes were similar so dry and so tough could not eat it. I can't believe I was eating at the same place. This inconsistency will not have me coming back. Can't take the risk. There's so many good Thai restaurants out there. read more

Surprisingly good thai on Colorado. I guess my expectations were set low given it's Pasadena? The curry was so delicious. I had the lunch set so it came with eggrolls. The eggrolls left much to be desired but the main course was definitely the start of the show. It definitely hit the spot and a great go-to place for lunch. The lunch deals are definitely worth it. read more

I love the food, the spice levels are perfect. Their teas are sweet so I order my lemon iced tea with extra lemons on the side. I would park at the Target parking lot and walk over since there is no parking there. Can get very busy during rush hour. read more

The highlights were the prices - they were incredibly reasonable, especially for a prime location like Pasadena. It's refreshing to find a place that offers such great value for your money. Their Thai tea is $3.5 which is a price that I don't see quite often anymore! The crispy pork belly. The pork belly was cooked with a delectably crispy exterior and tender. The staff is also nice and was able to accommodate my substitution. Parking was challenging but I got a spot at the back of the restaurant. read more

After a long week of work and starting our move, my boyfriend and I ordered takeout through GrubHub. I got my go-to Thai order, pad see ew. The carry out option came with a GOOOOOD portion of food and it was a great balance of broccoli, noodles, and meat (if you choose to add!). My boyfriend got the yellow curry with pork. It included rice! He raved about the sauce, which "made each bite splendid." Definitely a great spot to grab a well-rounded meal for a night in. read more

Great food, low prices and huge portions! Took a star off because the server didn't come back to the table after we got our meals. We had to wave her over. Hubby had shrimp pad Thai and it was really nice. Seasoned well, and shrimp, although tails needed to be removed, were cooked perfectly. I had the Pad Kee Mao, which although was delicious, is supposed to be a spicy dish and was nowhere near spicy. I had to ask for chili sauce. We'll be back, any negatives were minor compared to the value here. read more

Came here for lunch on the weekend. Every dish we ordered was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was amazing. We were greeted with smiling staff members and they were very attentive and respectful. Ordered three dishes: - Thai toast: such a unique appetizer that I haven't seen before in other Thai restaurants. It's basically a crispy fried toast with a minced pork paste, served with their sweet and sour sauce. A great starter! - Pad Thai: a little more sweet and saucy than other pad thais I've had but I prefer it this way. It was very enjoyable! - Spicy catfish: if you love a flavorful spicy basil sauce, you will love this dish. The catfish filet was battered and fried then dressed with this umami spicy basil sauce thats full of depth and flavor. So good with steamed rice!! Parking: a little challenging to find street parking. There is a target across the street with a parking structure so you can park there and come here before or after your trip to target. read more
