I've been to Archa Nine several times now and their food is always perfectly prepared and the people are very friendly. The restaurant is also very clean. I've had all of their curry dishes and it's the best curry I've had anywhere. Amy, who has taken my order several times, is very polite and has great recommendations. read more

Stopped by Archa Nine Thai Kitchen on Old Todds Road for lunch while visiting Lexington, and it was a great find. The decor is modern and welcoming -- a nice, clean space with a relaxed vibe. We started with hot sake and vegetable spring rolls, which were fresh and light. For the main course, we had the Spicy Basil Fried Rice with chicken and the Red Pumpkin Curry with veggies and fried tofu -- both packed with flavor and perfectly spiced. The curry especially stood out with its rich, comforting taste. Service was smooth, and everything came out fresh and hot. This place hits the mark on food and atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd return to next time I'm in town. read more

Visited this establishment on 2/02/25 with another adult. With me having a long list of food sensitivities, I began by asking the waitress about the menu. They do not offer a separate gluten-free menu, but she did advise most items on the menu can be made gluten-free. The waitress was helpful and checked on us several times while we dined. I shared the shrimp summer rolls with my companion, and they were super fresh and delicious. I opted for the Singapore Noodles, without egg, onion, and bean sprouts (all items I cannot consume); it was fresh and had just the right combination of spices and vegetables to round out a good meal. The restaurant's lighting is bright, the decor is contemporary minimalist, with a few booths but mostly tables with padded chairs. Very nice atmosphere. read more

The atmosphere when you walk in isn't the most inviting but the food is fantastic and very authentic and full of flavor. I always have a hard time not ordering the chicken pad that because it's one of my favorite dishes no matter what Thai restaurant I eat at. Split an order of the chicken pad Thai and peppered beef. Got both at a 2/5 spiciness level. The pad Thai was routinely good but wish I'd asked for a 3/5 spice level because there was basically none with the 2. However, with the peppered beef it felt more like a 3/4 spice level. If you like peppery things, as much as I do, this dish is perfect for you. If it wasn't slightly too spicy for me I probably would have slurped the remaining sauce out of the bowl because of the amount of flavor. Both dishes were very good sized portions and came out super quick ( less than 5 minutes). I've had the duck and pad see ew here before also and both were solid. Probably can't go wrong with any dish you choose read more

I was in the mood for Pad Thai and decided to try something new. I ordered online and requested a 4 level heat. I also ordered yellow chicken curry. My pad thai was not hot and tasteless. The yellow chicken curry was sweet was too sweet and disappointing. The food was ready when I arrived, which is something. I definitely will not try this restaurant again. read more

$11.45 for 5 crab ragoons. RIP OFFFF. Don't come here AT ALL!!! Service was horrible too. Wouldn't even give it a 1 star

Wanted to try a new Thai restaurant tonight for dinner so decided to come here. This was my first going and I got the Pork Pad Se Ew spice level 3. I also ended up getting a pad se ew shrimp Togo. I love the noodles they were perfect chewy texture and flavor was good other than at the end it got really salty since a lot of the sauce went to the bottom of the plate. The service was great and it's a very cute clean restaurant. I think it's a perfect place for groups or date. Would definitely go back! read more

If you're ever in the Lexington area, check out Archa nine! We did some research before hand to find a good Asian restaurant but were reassured by several people that we had to check it out and they weren't wrong! Outside of the long wait we had to get seated (for some reason the hostess was unavailable) the rest of the experience was great. We started with tofu satay that came with a creamy peanut sauce. Then moved on to pumpkin red curry and kee mao noodles. They have a good range of spice level, we picked Thai hot and it packed a punch for sure. We loved it. The red curry came with steamed tofu and the noodles came with fried tofu. Tons of veggies in the red curry which was great. Service was good, and ample parking in the lot. Located in the outskirts of downtown but easily accessible! read more

Last time I was here was about a year ago. After checking Yelp for reviews and options for dinner, Archa Nine was the choice again. And it was a great choice! The food is still great. The restaurant has classy feel. The service is great! Fried spring rolls were served hor and they were fresh. Pad Thai with chicken - may be the best Pad Thai I have had! I do not get in town often but when I do - Archa Nine it is! read more

My first time at Archa 9. I had heard good things about the food. I ordered the Singapore Noodles, asking for slightly more than American hot. It was perfect. The strange soup that came with the entree was forgettable and not at all hot. Nice environs and good service. 13 read more

I went to this restaurant for the first time this week, on a Monday evening around 6:30pm, with 2 friends. Though the food was good and authentic, there were service issues. Let's talk about the food first. For appetizers we ordered the following and ratings per taste are given below: - Crab Rangoon: Best item 5/5 - Spring Rolls: 3/5 .. have to give them brownie points for not over stuffing them with cabbage - Thunder Chicken: 1/5 .. tasteless, tough like leather, chewy Then, my friends ordered soup: - Tom Kha Soup: 3/5 - Tom Yum: 5/5 For our entrees, we ordered: - Tamarind Fish: 3/5... taste was good but the first time it came, it was cold as ice!! I had to ask them to heat it up.. - Roast Duck: 4/5 .. my friend liked it - Kee Mai: 3/5 .. not appetizing to look at The worst part of the night was the fact that the appetizers came in parts and even our main courses were severely delayed! I was almost done with my food by the time my friend's duck made its way to the table. And overall, there was a lag of around 35-40 minutes between us finishing our appetizers and the first entree coming out. There were 3 servers and apart from us, only 3 other tables occupied... We had to wait to get our server's attention for water and drinks etc. So even though the food was mostly good, the overall experience left much to be desired.

Looking for a place with good vegetarian options while passing through. Decided to try Archa nine. Food was excellent. Some of the best Pad thai I've had in a long time. Saucy and flavorful.

Top tier, delicious and satisfying Thai food! I really enjoyed the meal with my family. Modern, clean ambience. They were a bit slow with water service (even though it wasn't that busy when we went) so aside from that it was great, will be back! A plus is that they offer vegan dishes! read more

Waiting for someone to acknowledge that I walked in the door for 20 minutes. The sign inside the door shouldn't say "Please wait to be seated". It should say"please wait until we're good and ready." The men's bathroom is a mess. No useable paper towels. There's a roll on the counter sitting in water and the dispenser is empty. read more

Food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. We ordered 4 items and all of the dishes were SO good and had such substantial amazing depth of flavor. Will absolutely be coming back again and again! read more

Excellent vegan options that keep us coming back. Pumpkin curry dish is freaking amazing. I had the garlic brown sauce on a loaf of vegetables, which was so good! Service is always quick so long as the kitchen keeps up with the carry-out orders. TIP: when busy, sit at the bar and order your food. Saves time if there are no tables and other people are waiting. read more

disgusting. chicken was fried to a crisp. worst parts of chicken( scraps or maybe even feet?) left out everyones rice. only things decent was spring rolls. we will never eat there again. so disappointing I would leave zero star is possible. food is not inexpensive. Order was 40 minutes late as well read more

The food items I had did not have much flavor at all and the curry was the consistency of water.

Best curbside service in Lexington! Quick online ordering and easy pick-up. There are several designated spots outside of the restaurant, and the staff is extremely friendly when delivering the food to your car. The drunken noodles were delicious! I really enjoy the variety of vegetables in this dish, and will definitely be ordering again. read more
