Khun 9 Thai Kitchen

Great neighborhood restaurant, if you drive too fast, you might miss it. Mom-and-Pop-operated restaurant with authentic flavors at an affordable price. Small restaurant with just a couple of tables, and most of their business clients are takeout. The Papaya Salad has a fresh, and well-balanced flavor. The Ka Na Moo Krob, Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli over rice is the ultimate comfort food. Crispy, fatty, and sweet and salty. The serving size generous.

I ordered the green curry here, and extra rice, because usually I don't receive enough rice for my meal. This was not necessary here, as they did serve enough rice with the delicious green curry here. The lunch portion looked small when it arrived, but actually was the right amount for lunch and I must have been fooled by the small tall bowl shape. Service was curt and professional, not friendly or unfriendly, probably due to language barrier. This interior is casual and not a fit for a family dinner, but easy for a small casual group of 2-4 people. The flavors of the green curry were developed and overall this was a tasty lunch. Although this is mostly a takeout place with a handful of small tables, the flavors here suggest I could go here again and find other delicious dishes. I definitely choose this Thai place if I am in central Torrance.

4.5 stars Got take out again. Got their panang curry mild with chicken, chicken pad thai and gai yang(BBQ chicken). The winner of the show was the chicken. It was so juicy and so flavorful. Definitely would order again.

It's a small mom and pop shop with limited seating. There is parking in the alley and flame broiler if you can't find street parking. The food here is great. I've been to Thailand before and they definitely do a great job with all their dishes that I've tried. They even have a Thai level spice for you spice lovers. It is definitely more of a take out spot.

Great neighborhood find! This is a small mom and pop restaurant with authentic Thai food with excellent prices and good portion sizes.Got the pad see ew with pork, fresh (salad) rolls with chicken, Thai tea, and panang curry with tofu. The curry was available as a combo that came with rice, salad and a fried wonton. i really liked how my noodles had an abundance of meat and Chinese broccoli. Their tap water is fruit infused which is a nice touch.Friendly service! There are only a handful of tables so I imagine they do a lot of takeout.Parking in the back, but there seems to only be like one or two spots. I checked with them to make sure we were in the right spot as we didnt want to get towed.

What do you order when you're being lazy at home and don't want to cook but still need to eat something heartwarming? Khun 9 Thai should be on your list of places to hit up to get that fixing right away.My friend and I ordered two dinner specials and were happy with what we got. I ordered their Tofu Penang Curry which came with white rice, side salad, and a fried wonton. I wasn't able to have the wonton but the curry itself was good (although it's hard to mess up coconut milk & curry paste). It definitely had a kick to it and I did ask for spicy, so I was happy it turned out that way.You don't normally find good dinner boxed sets at most restaurants anymore so it's a nice change of pace to see one being offered, especially at a Thai restaurant of all places. Thanks Khun 9 for the fast, simple, and tasty meal.

I recently dropped by here for lunch with several coworkers and was surprised there was a Thai restaurant in such a unique area. You can tell that this is a family-operated joint and that they all work as hard as possible to take care of you and make sure you are content.I ordered Thai Tea and Boat Noodle Soup with medium spice. I know, I know, with the current heatwave going on, why would I order spicy soup? Nonetheless, this is what I ordered. The Thai Tea was oddly, really sugary, more so than I have had. The Boat Noodle Soup was okay, despite ordering medium spice, I tasted none. It really lacked flavor compared to other Boat Noodle Soups I have had.One thing that I do have to caution you about is parking can be really bad here. I found some street parking and took it as soon as I could find one.

My "Pad Ka Pow" was great and they used the real thai holy basil which is like in Thailand and it very hard to find a place like this because most places around here they use sweet basil which is taste very different. The place was pretty small but convenient. The staff were very friendly and polite she had a great customer service. The parking lot was pretty small but it wasn't too bad to get the spot.

Amazing, super authentic Thai. We've had their Nasi Goreng, Khao Ka Moo, Ka Pow... everything is really good. It's hard to find Thai food this good outside of Thai Town!

The best places to eat are hidden gems like Khun 9! I've visited a lot of Thai restaurants in Southern California, but this is by far one of the best! After having visited Thailand, I have constantly been let down by restaurant after restaurant... BUT Khun 9 came through for me, baby! I highly recommend the green curry with chicken, veggie egg rolls, and pad see ew! Also, their free infused water is delicious... And free! Need I say more?
