This place is super interestingly decorated and is a nice little mom and pop shop right off Clark in Lincoln Park. When we went initially around 7pm on a Thursday there wasn't much of a crowd, it started building up more as it got closer to closing time. The service is top notch and the auntie that served us (which I assume is the owner) was super nice and friendly. Usually Thai restaurants will find a way to neuter their spicy dishes to be more palatable, so I asked for my khao soi to be spicy and she made sure of it (even egged me on and asked if it was spicy enough--thankfully I had some Thai iced tea to help me there).I believe the food is a bit on the pricier end. I usually get a lot more food when I go out for Thai but they give you some pretty small portions for the overall price you pay. I think the convenience of the location, especially if you're in Lincoln Park makes this palatable, but if you're willing to travel a bit I'd recommend traveling further north for some other Thai places that will be more bang for your buck.

I just finished eating dinner at Nine Thai. I was surprised to see the restaurant empty when I arrived. We were kindly greeted and sat a a table surrounded by beautiful plants and greenery. I ordered the Penang curry and it was fantastic! It definitely had a kick to it. I also tried the curry noodle and it was fantastic - great flavor.

This place is a hidden gem. The inside is full of beautiful greenery. It's a cute little weeknight spot. I will definitely be coming back or ordering delivery. The food was reasonably priced and excellent. We got fried tofu, seaweed salad, vegetable egg rolls and curry. Everything was delicious.

Guess sixth time is the charm. In what had become an increasingly quixotic quest to dine here, we were frequently met by surprise closings and hours. Nine Thai may have gotten its name for how many times a potential customer has to come by before it's open. Lunch is the best time, as they have combos at a discount. The food is mostly basic Thai but there's some good surprises. After coming here a few times it was always closed, and we had to go to the other many Asian places around here. In Old Town there's plenty if these to choose from, but the good lunch specials here always were intriguing. They only have these on weekdays. It's about $10, and there's quite a few to choose from. These are a big time money saver over the regular lunch and dinner menus. I had the Pad Kee Mao. She had the Pad See Ew, and we got the same combination of sides. Each also has a protein choice. We got tofu. I liked mine a lot. This was flat rice noodles with basil, onions, and peppers. Good side items. There's a soup choice, and we got the Tom Yung. It had a kick. The other side item was vegetable pot stickers. Only a few, which was the only complaint about food. The good thing about that the rest of the food had a lot more. Biggest issue is the place being unorganized and the frequently incorrect hours. It's understandable. They are a family owned business, but it seems like they close up every few weeks.

Stopped for a dinner after the Lincoln Zoo Light. My husband really enjoyed Chicken Pat Kee Mao, while I liked Shrimp Wontoon Soup. Our to-go fried tofu is not so good. The lady server is very friendly.

I dine here 3 to 5 times a month. The food is always fresh and delicious. Tonight I had the tom yum soup with shrimp, and the basil chicken with vegetables and rice. I also had iced Thai coffee. The staff is very friendly and personable. Great value and generous portions.

We got takeout food and this food did not disappoint! We even got a discount for ordering online for pickup. One is the best Thai food places we've had in the city. I definitely recommend it!

I got the pad Thai, and my friend got a curry. Both were great dishes, and we really enjoyed them! The portion size and price was good as well. We also got the Pinot Grigio which was fairly priced too. The wine pours were huge, they really filled up the glasses! I loved the decorations in this place - big, leafy green plants everywhere, cool and comfy zebra print chairs, everything just fit together and was perfect for a Thai restaurant. I will say the service was a bit slow, especially since we were the only ones in the restaurant on a Wednesday night. But it looked like they had a lot of take out orders, and we didn't mind as we were chatting the whole time anyway! I would definitely either come back or get take out from here in the future.
