Inside
Olaedo E.

This restaurant is located in the Rio, which is a short walk from my sister's place. I stopped by and ordered the gway tiew (pad see eaw), crispy basil duck and the crab wontons to go. While waiting, I sat at the bar and tried the Tokyo iced tea, which was just okay. My sister got the cucumber guava ginger punch, which I preferred. It was quite refreshing. I'll definitely be back to try other drinks. The crab wontons was basic, like your typical crab rangoon. The pad see eaw was delicious. I requested for it to be spicy, which they delivered! The crispy basil duck was also very tasty and flavorful! I'll definitely be returning.

Wifey and I heard about this place, so we conquered. First of all, this place has the family feel from start to finish. The service and food along with the ambiance is awesome! If you are ever in the area, please check it out, you will not be sorry!!!!

White wine, mango martini, pink bikini martini, Hibiscus Lemonade (the martinis were a bit too sweet).

The vibe and layout of this restaurant was nice. Our server was friendly and accommodated modifications to our orders. While the drinks were tasty, they were a bit sweeter than I'd expect for a martini. I did feel as if my steak was over cooked and that it was pricier than it should have been for what I received (I ordered the crying tiger).

I would not recommend this restaurant. Food is not fresh. My dish came with rotting vegetables.

This is a great spot for Asian fusion. I enjoy sitting outside, in an area of Crown that has a grassy barrier between the restaurant and the street. The food and service are both really good. As a vegetarian, there are plenty of options for me. Recommended!

I usually avoid fusion places because with fusion spots they usually aren't spectacular in everything and just mediocre in everything. But their sushi surprisingly was so fresh and delicious. Everything else we ordered was average but I'm still thinking about their spicy scallop roll. Also the staff was very friendly.

Crab Wonton

Good food, outdoor seating, and service! My friend and I ordered the crab wontons, pad Thai with chicken, and spicy basil with chicken. The wontons were good, but I do wish the sauce was on the side so the skin stayed crispy. The pad Thai was flavorful, and the spicy basil had excellent flavor to it. The prices were a little higher than other Thai restaurants in the area, but I enjoyed the food and service!

8 Piece California Roll
John L.

Pro: outdoor seating, food, clean interior, friendly staff. Con: limited street parking, price. After playing some game at the rio we came here for some dinner. There is not many street parking but luckily there is a garage that offers free parking. The establishment offers outdoor or indoor dining. I had the drunken noodle and California rolls. The noodles were good portion size and tasted good with the spice. The rolls dip in soy sauce made a great combination. Price on the food and drink were a bit high. I had the lemonade and that alone was 5 dollars. All in all, a good Thai restaurant and I would recommend anyone to come and try atleast once.

Basil Noodles (Drunken Noodles) combination beef, chicken, and shrimp
Susy P.

I truly enjoy going to Asia Nine. you get a choice of Japanese and Thai with a fusion of American. When I go here we always like to eat outside. It's has a nice fresh air. See the neighborhood. Vibe. The servers and service was very good. We love to see our usual server, she always greets us with a smile. the hostess also was serving and was attentive to our request 10 out of 10, we ordered a lot of items from the dumplings to the edamame to the shrimp tempera sushi , basil string beans with fried tofu, lamb chops, and combination drunken noodle. All had unique flavors. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly. The sauce was a little sweet. The drunken noodles were not spicy as requested and had a great flavor. The basil, string bean, and fried tofu had a nice heat however, I feel the tofu could fried a little more. we love this restaurant for great local place.must try

Came here with a friend and really enjoyed everything. I ordered the green curry and Tom kha soup. My friend got the pad Thai and Tom yum soup. Our soups were amazing. Service was wonderful and loved the vibes of the place. My green curry was very good. My friend also enjoyed her pad Thai. Overall this place is awesome and I'd come back. I normally get Thai grill silver Spring but this place is great for a dinner date or event with coworkers.

Surprise surprise, another praise for our experience at Asia 9. Today, however, nothing to do with the food. Watched some jerk in an eagles jersey come whine about placing the wrong order online. I don't really know what happened but he was loud enough to hear across the room, visibly angry, and chewing out the staff while taking pictures of his order. Something about his sushi being cut wrong. He eventually stormed out. The effect on our service? Absolutely none. Same smiles and friendly service; like nothing ever happened. I don't know how they do it. I love this place.

Sushi 3 Ways (yellowtail)
Gellie E.

I came here for a late lunch and ordered the Yellowtail Sushi Three Ways, which also comes with miso soup. I enjoyed my sushi set; the yellowtail was fresh and the portions were generous. We also ordered the fried bananas as a dessert, which came with matcha ice cream and whipped cream (and a cherry on top). The fried bananas were wrapped in a spring roll wrapper for crunch. No complaints about the food; all dishes were brought out quickly. Service, on the other hand, was minimal. Other than bringing out and refilling drinks, taking our orders, and bringing out the food, they never came to check on us. They also took the liberty of already adding gratuity to the check... and then sneakily make it look like you still need to add tip when signing the bill- so review your check carefully. It was also strange that staff members were hanging out at a back table - some were napping (blanket and all), laying down on the booth seat with their socks and shoes off, or just using their phones. There were no issues with service, it was an off-hour, and these staff members were clearly on a break, but it didn't seem professional. A room divider or curtain would be better to separate the designated employee break area from the dining room. I'm not against coming back here, but I would probably just do carryout next time because the low-key service did not enhance the experience any.

I was taking a stroll in my neighborhood when I discovered Asia Nine and as a lover of Thai food, I had to see what it was all about. The inside was dim with your typical Thai restaurant setup. I opted for take out and ordered my safe tried and true, hot Basil leaves level 5 spicy (Thai Spicy). Their pad kapow with chicken was pretty watery for my standards and did not have enough spice and certainly not spicy, it was just okay. I was hoping they would knock it out the park. If I'm ever in a pinch and the restaurant was right next to me, perhaps I'd try something else on the menu but ultimately it's a no for me.

They have some of the best lunch specials/bento boxes and their sushi is on another level. Also we tend to grab take out from here at least 2-3x a week. It's always packaged nicely, relatively affordable and fresh.

This was honestly one of the most disorganized restaurant experiences I've had in a long time…read more The service was confusing from the moment we sat down. After waiting a while, our waitress finally came over and took our order. We ordered an appetizer first while deciding on our entrees. A few minutes later, the exact same waitress returned and asked if we wanted to order any appetizers, apparently forgetting that we had already done so. I specifically asked whether the salmon in the Philly roll was fresh or smoked because I don't like smoked salmon. I was assured it was fresh. When it arrived, it was clearly smoked salmon. The bao buns were actually pretty good, although the lettuce was wilted and looked like it had been sitting around for a while. A different server eventually took our entrée order. Less than five minutes later, that same server came back and asked if we were ready to close out our check, despite the fact that we were still waiting for our food and had not received our entrees yet. When the food finally arrived, the ramen was disappointing. The noodles were undercooked and the broth was excessively salty. The katsu curry was the highlight of the meal and was genuinely delicious. Unfortunately, the miso soup that accompanied it was overloaded with dashi powder and tasted overwhelmingly fishy. Which made sense with the overpowering fish market smell upon entering the restaurant. To top it all off, when we were ready to leave, the server brought the credit card receipt for signature but forgot to bring a pen. Between the repeated service mistakes, incorrect menu information, lack of attention to the table, and inconsistent food quality, I'm genuinely surprised this restaurant has managed to stay in business. There are too many good ramen spots out there to justify returning here.

I arrived at 2:30 PM to order dinner for takeout, but the restaurant was already closed. I spoke…read morewith the staff, who confirmed that their posted hours are 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. When I asked why the restaurant was closed before 3:00 PM, I was told that the kitchen closes earlier. Unfortunately, there was no indication that service would end before the posted closing time. This was disappointing, as I made the trip during their advertised business hours expecting to be able to place an order.
