Block 9 Thai Street Eats

This is the closest Thai spot in our area, and it just opened up. It's a casual restaurant with a fun, lively décor. The menu is simple, offering starters, street curries, noodles, rice dishes, sides and desserts. My hubby and I shared the following dishes, and everything was made to order, served fresh and hot. It's a great local spot for when we're craving Thai food.1) Papaya Salad with Shrimp2) Pineapple Fried Rice3) Green Curry with Chicken4) Pad Thai with Chicken & Shrimp

Ok, first time visit here...a little disappointed that they didn't have hot tea or mango sticky rice.I did like the tofu fries but respectfully cannot make this my Thai spot

Found a nearby Thai food restaurant that's quick and easy for pick up. The fried spinach salad is amazing and very addicting. I've had their pad see ew twice and it was good. Along with their panang and green curry. Beef jerky was decent as well. Spicy levels are mild, medium and hot, last time I did hot and it was very spicy! So I stuck with medium. I would say a bit on the pricier side for the portions they give but overall a solid 7/10

First time here and we were confused. We walked in and no one greeted us. We thought the place was still closed. Ha Ha. You have to grab a menu and walk to the back. There you can order your food. It also seems like you can scan the QR code at the table to order from your phone. We didn't try that though. I loved the look and feel of the restaurant. The food was good. We ordered the lunch specials and they came with fried wonton. There wasn't barely any meat in it. They need to triple the amount of meat to make it better. We also got a side of crab wonton. Although there wasn't barely any definitely more filling in it, it just tasted like cream cheese. The green curry was awesome! So much flavor! I also enjoyed my Pad Se lew. It also had so much flavor for being such a simple dish. I just wish there was more Chinese broccoli in it.

I was craving Thai and these guys were right down the block, so how could I say 9?Block 9 Thai Street Eats appears to be the casual cousin to the more pricey, upscale Nittaya's Secret Kitchen. The menu is fairly simple and cheap, like a lot of Thai spots. The restaurant is located near Hobby Lobby in the back of a sprawling plaza. The spacious interior has a sanitized street feel with lots of wood and faux street carts. The semi-enclosed patio is visible as you approach the front door and could be a nice place for a sit-down meal during warmer weather.However, I had my mind set on takeout, so I phoned in an order on the way home. They had no problem taking it, along with the usual name and number, but I did notice that they didn't ask how spicy I wanted certain dishes. This did come into play later as I ate the dishes at home.The Original Nittaya's Spinach Salad ($10.00) is basically an excuse to have a bowl of the crispiest tempura. The spinach was nice though; of course it would be cooked thoroughly by frying. The acidic, spicy, fish sauce-based dressing is assertive and plays well against the fried batter. The one flaw was the grease that pooled at the bottom of the takeout container. I wouldn't have minded waiting another minute or two for them to drain it properly.The Tom Yum ($8.00) offers a great example of the ubiquitous spicy and sour broth. It comes with a few pieces of tasty shrimp, which are supplemented by some tomatoes and shrooms. It read like a 4 or 5 on a scale of 10, while I prefer a 3 out of 10. I'm glad I had help to finish it.The Basil Eggplant ($15.00) was so tender that I actually found it to be slightly mushy. The red bell pepper was a welcome change of texture. It's on the bland side compared to the other dishes, but it's generally satisfying for eggplant fans.The Pad See Iew w/ pork ($15.00) generally had the right flavors, unlike some places. However, it was a little less strongly sauced than I'd like, it didn't have the most luscious noodles, and it was a bit lacking in greenery. Is Chinese broccoli that expensive these days?The Panang Curry ($15.00) was another spicy dish. It was definitely at least a 5 on a scale of 10. The tiny strands of kaffir lime leaf are low-key amazing though, adding nuance to a rich curry sauce. The white rice, packaged in a separate box, was cooked to the right moisture level to complement the curry, not too dry or wet.Overall, Block 9 is a pretty good neighborhood Thai spot. I'll consider stopping by again during trips to and from a local casino as it's along the main route.

I visited Block 9 last night with my best friend. This is the perfect set-up for a get together--you order at the counter for either to-go or dine-in and your food is delivered to your table.I tried out the Drunken Noodle, which was incredibly flavorful. I'm a big spice lover, so I'll ask them to bump up the spices next time, but I really enjoyed my meal (and there were enough leftovers for another meal as well). I definitely recommend checking out Block 9 and I'm looking forward to returning and trying some of their other dishes!

I was in the mood for Thai and decided to try this place. I ordered the Bangkok Fried Rice with Chicken and it was delicious. It was very flavorful and contained just enough vegetables, which, were sautéed perfectly. The egg, once mixed in truly elevated the overall flavor profile of the dish. The restaurant is spacious and can accommodate large parties. Its decor is very reminiscent of a street in Thailand where one would find street carts serving food. The counter is adorned with wheels and license plates, which, are affixed to the counter. This visual is fitting and matches the restaurant's name perfectly.The menu is a nice size and offers a variety of Thai inspired dishes. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will definitely be back.

I think it's very cute ambiance, but the service and food left something to be desired. No spiciness levels and the food is slightly bland not as flavorful as Thai usually is. I also wish we could have made it spicy. I came here on Wednesday at 8:24pm. No greeting, no telling me how the place worked. It looks like a sit down restaurant but no one spoke up. They also acted like they were closed or were apprehensive to help me out because they closed at 9 in over 30 minutes. They also turned off the music 10 minutes before they closed we weren't the only ones in there. I was a little let down because I have been wanting to try this place out but I don't think we will be back :(.

We visited for a quick dinner, seeking Thai cuisine. Our preferred destination is Thai BBQ on Jones St, but the distance was prohibitive, leading us to try this new establishment. The food was satisfactory, though portions were small. Regrettably, mango sticky rice, our favorite dessert, was unavailable.

On my way home I decided to place a pick up order for dinner at Block 9. My order was ready in 15 minutes after placing it. The inside of this restaurant is so cute and they have a nice patio for outdoor seating. You order at the register and grab an open table and they bring your food to you when you dine in. I ordered the chicken wonton appetizer which was served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. The chicken filling was good. I also ordered the Panang curry with chicken. Block 9 doesn't do a 1-10 level for spiciness. The dishes are served a medium 2 so request more or less depending on your own taste. The portions were good and I had leftovers for the next day. The Panang was really good and had red bell pepper slices in it. There was plenty of chicken so it was a good deal. They have lunch specials during the week which are good deals if you can make it there during those hours. The service is friendly and quick. I'll definitely keep Block 9 on my Thai food restaurant rotation.
