Thai Nine

The mangos they served for dessert were so fresh. I have been here so many times, that I should have my name in a plaque on the wall. And when I'm out of town, my family likes to go there too, because their food is so darn good. They're not many Thai restaurants they serve such a wonderful meal.Yes, they always have fresh mangoes. And when they don't well, they have something just as good. Often they will slip you in a free appetizer or free dessert or a free drink because they just enjoy seeing the smiles on their customers faces. The dining room is not fancy, but the food is out of this world . Whenever I'm in the area, I think I'm going to try some of the other restaurants around, but I never do. I don't think it gets much better than for me.

My first time at this restaurant after reading the reviews. I tried the previous owner who was a flop. I have a standard that I compare all my Thai restaurants to as guideline on flavor, presentation, quality, and the amount of food you get for your money. I really wanted this place to come on top being really close to my house. To start the host was so nice and inviting. We started out with a Crispy Roll appetizer and she even threw in some crab Rangoons for free when she asked us if we were allergic to crab. The Crispy Rolls are good but the Crab Rangoons had nothing but cream cheese inside which made it a little bland. At least you have sweet chili sauce to dip it in. My wife ordered the Chicken Pad Thai and I got the Shrimp Volcano after reading the reviews. The presentation coming out looked fantastic on both. The Shrimp Volcano is steaming hot on a hot plate and they pour the sweet chili sauce on top which steams up.My plate also comes with Jasmine rice on the side. The vegetables underneath the fried Shrimp are basically steamed with the sauce, so after a couple of bites my shrimp starts to get soggy due to the steam and chili sauce. Basically a hot mess. The rice and shrimp were cooked perfectly, it was just okay nothing to want to say I'm going come back for that! The veggies underneath are steamed with the chili sauce over them. They needed seasoning like salt, just bland to me. My Wife's Chicken Pad Thai was too sweet, we eat Pad Thai everywhere so we know it's going to be sweet, but this is overly sweet and the peanuts aren't salty at all, just like the dish itself. The noodles are missing some seasoning, like it needed salt. It was missing something. All I can tell you is our standard for comparison is the Green Papaya at River City. They have the best Pad Thai I ever tasted. They have a huge following here so I hope they do well but it's not for us. Green Papaya for me!

An absolute gem of a place. Came here for lunch with a group of fellow coasties and we were greeted with the warmest welcome. Our waitress was really attentive and quick to make sure we had everything we needed. Everything on the menu looked delicious so of course it was difficult to decide. I eventually settled on the crispy duck with panang curry and it did not disappoint. The sauce was a buttery peanut flavor with a hint of sweetness and just a tiny bit of spice at the end. The duck looked overcooked at first but was actually extremely tender. Our waitress brought out crispy egg rolls on the house and our food took only about 5 minutes to come out. Talk about fast! All the plates were very full so you will not leave here hungry lol. And to top it off- we all enjoyed fresh, sweet slices of mango.

One of my favorite Thai restaurants in Jax. Stopped in for a late dinner the other night. Had exceptional service as always. The food is hands down always hot and fresh and made with love. I ordered the Thai Dumplings as an app, and the Thai basil fried ride with chicken and shrimp, amazing!!

Great Customer Service.Great food that's made to order. Be aware that it comes out HOT, please let it cool before eating it.Very clean place also.

Had the yearning for some Thai food. Was visiting in Jacksonville Florida and ran into this place. If you see it, Run like the wind. Food had NO seasoning and was super bland. Plus it costs $17 without a drink. Cardboard with cashews. That is all.

Decided to give this place a try based on the proximity and great reviews. Unfortunately, the food was a let down. The lunch portions seem like a decent deal (~$10) but they just aren't that great. We got the green curry, Penang curry, pad thai, and fried duck with red chili sauce. The pad thai was the biggest let down. It was too sweet and lacked a lot of flavor. The curries were very watery and were wrapped in a foil pouch inside a styrofoamBox. The duck was ok, but that alone wouldn't merit a return visit. Was looking for an alternative to Green Papaya (my go-to Thai spot; closed on Mondays) but this will not be it.

Since we got take-out, we can't speak to the atmosphere or service. It was super easy to order online, pay with credit card, and pick up. The food was ready in the exact time they said it would be. Food was well packaged, kept heat, no leakage. The red curry and rice was delicious. Great portion size, had just the right amount of heat and sauciness. The pineapple fried rice could have had a little more pineapple! It tasted rather heavily curry powdered, which was a bit disappointing. It was still tasty though! The chicken pad Thai was surprisingly pink?? I don't know where the color came from, but it was still tasty. Good flavor, veggies mixed in, and the classic peanuts and lime.

I work nearby and order lunch for pickup often. I don't have a long enough break to dine inside, but every time I come to pickup, the same woman is working. She is extremely friendly and makes the experience even better. I usually order the massaman curry with tofu and ask for it extra spicy, and they do not disappoint. During lunch all the meals come with a spring roll. If you visit, make sure to buy one of the crunchy lotus shaped snacks at the front. It is so good with honey!

The food was so so so good! Everything came out pretty quickly, the only downfall was it came out one dish at a time but you could tell it was the type of establishment that has only one chef. We could peek into the kitchen from where we sat and noticed a bunch of fresh vegetables on the table. Every meal is cooked to order without a doubt. I would absolutely return here!
