Small, charming restaurant. Wouldn't recommend for parties larger than 6. They have indoor and exterior seating. The service is quick and friendly. The food was good. I would come again and order other things. One unisex restroom. They don't gave toilet seat covers and they only have a hand dryer. Probably wouldn't go #2 there - just hold it. read more

My fav thai restaurant in Pasadena! I've read some of the reviews saying service feels rushed, but I've been many times & haven't experienced that. If anything, they're efficient & food comes out quickly. Love their pad thai, crab fried rice, & mango sticky rice. Both indoor & outdoor seating available & restroom available for customers. Located right across Target & there's lots of nearby street parking. read more

I came here for mango sticky rice and a Singha beer. Before i was even half done eating the rice and mango, they brought the check and stuck it in the middle of the table. Then, they came back every 5 minutes to ask if I wanted to pay the bill although I hadn't finished my food. One lady went through all options, do you want to Apple Pay, do you want visa, do you want to pay cash???? Pressure, pressure, pressure to turn the table and get you out of the place. Did I mention that I still hadn't finished my food? Food was good. Singha beer is always nice, but if they want to turn tables to maximize profits, they need to set a time limit and hold all diners to the limit. read more

Nine & Nine Thai Kitchen - Thai Near Me - Pasadena, California

Located in downtown Pasadena, this Thai food restaurant is cooking up dishes for dine in and take out. During my most recent visit, there were a lot of people dropping in to pick up orders to-go. There are indoor and outdoor seating options so that's convenient when the weather is really nice outside. Tried the Tom Yum soup, Papaya Salad, and Pad Thai. Food was good, but had the same few ingredients in every dish -- meaning, I would have preferred more distinction on taste. The servers were nice but the experience felt rushed. Wouldn't be my first choice for Thai food when back in town, but I would be open to giving this spot another try. read more

PARKING: Parked in a lot near the Pasadena Playhouse and walked over. SEATING: There are lots of seats inside and outside but they fill up quick! Came to eat here before a play at 7PM at the Playhouse and got there around 5:10PM. Inside was completely full but outside had seating. It was nice! But there was a 20 minute wait after we sat down. SERVICE: It seemed a bit slow as I was sat outside but I didn't need much. They took the order and the food came out promptly. Just didn't see anyone again until the check and boxes were needed. No complaints really. I'm sure they are attentive when they aren't slammed. FOOD: Wow! Food came out quick and piping hot! The appetizers were amazing! The way they breaded the calamari had such an interesting contrast with the squid that I kept going back to it! So flavorful especially with the sauce. The pad thai was amazing! The right firmness with the noodles and the taste was phenomenal! Wish they added more shrimp as there were only 2 but I get it. There was plenty of chicken though! Chicken in every bite and a healthy amount of beansprouts. Was even better with the pickled chili. OVERALL: Usually I get Blaze before watching a play at the Playhouse but this will be my new spot to go to now. Just a great spot with great vibes!! read more

Met some friends here for a nice Thai dinner. Food was incredible! Vegetable egg rolls - I didn't sample but they were crispy and a decent size. Good value Crab Rangoon - I really liked these as they had more crab filling than most Pineapple Fried Rice - tasty but the protein was lacking Pad See Ew - perfectly cooked and nice flavor. We got ours with shrimp and the shrimp were a nice size Yellow Curry Chicken - hit the spot for the curry lover in our party. We got no spiciness but it seemed a bit on the sweet side Basil Chicken - Chicken was tender and dish was flavorful but could definitely use more basil Tom Yum soup - added fish for the protein and there were lots of big pieces of fish. Super tasty Service was very good and we liked the ambiance. read more

Nine & Nine Thai Kitchen - Basil Pork and Yellow Curry - Thai Near Me - Pasadena, California

Nine & Nine did not disappoint! I stopped by at lunch for the first time and thought that the lunch special was great value, considering it was $12.50. I think it's definitely hard to come by nowadays, especially at dine-in restaurants. The lunch special comes with an entree, salad, and a choice of egg rolls or dumplings. I ordered the lunch yellow curry with two egg rolls (which were sooo delicious). The yellow curry was perfectly creamy and spicy. My only complaint is that the beef was on the dry side. Service was great. Only thing is parking there's limited street parking and it's all metered. read more

Our usual Thai spot was closed today, so decided to give this place a try. Ordered takeout, and everything went smoothly. Food was ready quickly and was delicious! They even included a beautiful flower in with my mango sticky rice. The mango was nice and ripe, and everything was delicious. I ate the whole thing, which is rare for me. Will order from this place again. I highly recommend the mango sticky rice. It's a favorite dish of mine, and theirs is perfection. read more

Cozy little restaurant with really yummy food! The portions were especially huge for the price. Guaranteed to hit the spot for anyone craving Thai food :3 My friends and I ordered the pad thai, the tofu ka prow, the pad see ew, and the tom yum fried rice. The white rice that came with the tofu ka prow also came in the shape of a flower - so cute!!! I honestly recommend them all! read more

Really good curry! Came across this place after taking a pilates class nearby. We got seated outside right away since it was a nice day out and got our orders in. I ordered the chicken panang curry with their eggrolls. They have a lunch special running on weekends which is rare. Lunch special was about $12, and came with one entree, a side salad, and choice of egg rolls or dumplings. The curry was super good, mild spice, came with bell peppers and a lot of chicken. The sauce was a good texture, and the bell peppers were fresh and not overcooked. The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the egg rolls. Would love to come back to try their other entrees for lunch! read more

Best soup ever! I went there in a whim cuz I was in the area and needed something for my cold/flu and this has hit the spot. I'll probably order another large tomorrow or Saturday and eat it all day again. So impressed!! There is a lot of chicken and vegetables in it and the chili paste is the perfect touch. I ordered a large and that me it's enough for two big bowls the portion is perfect. Also everything is so fresh, the meat, the vegetables all of it! read more

Nine & Nine Thai Kitchen - Tom Yum Kai Soup - Thai Near Me - Pasadena, California

We went to eat about an hour before the establishment closed and I was surprised that the restaurant has many customers still there, being seated, picking up orders. We found a good booth and sat down. We ordered our food and waited a couple of minutes before our food was at our table. The food was so good. I missed what good Thai food tastes like as our favorite Thai restaurant closed down near our house. I would definitely recommend eating here as they are prompt in service and have tasty food. If I'm in the area again, this is a place to go to! read more

Nine & Nine is an institution in Pasadena! There isn't a bad thing on the menu. You really can't go wrong with whatever you order, but I find myself returning time and again to the Pad See Ew. I also find their fried rice irresistible! They have great lunch specials, and an adorable outdoor space. I love to take quick business lunches here because I know the service will be fast and the food will always be excellent. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious option for take-out Thai food. They have a wide selection of Thai food options, as well as a sweet lunch special menu that is budget-friendly. The restaurant space has "hole-in-the-wall" feels. I enjoy ordering take-out when wanting to eat local Thai food. There's a bookstore and a Target across the street that you can visit while waiting for your food. I ordered their Pad Kee Mao. Delish! Large chunks of tomato, bell peppers and whatever protein you choose. The noodles were chewy - just like I like them. read more

Every thing I've eaten here has been on point good stuff,servers are friendly when ever in Pasadena it's a must stop .

Cute little Thai eatery directly across from Target. Friendly staff. We are always served right away no matter what time of day we go. Not as expensive as Saladang or President Thai, it's much more affordable but their amazing food is just as good. I love their pad see ew and pad thai read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! The food is phenomenal. Their Pad See Ew is perfectly done--the noodles have just the right texture, and the chicken and veggies are sautéed to perfection with a great balance of flavors. The dish with Chinese broccoli and crispy pork (don't know the nane) in that incredible sauce is seriously addictive! The eggplant with tofu is also a must-try. They also offer a wide variety of generous lunch specials, which come with veggie rolls or chicken dumplings. Service is quick, and the place is spotless. Highly recommended! read more

Good authentic Thai food in Pasadena. Their Chicken Yellow Curry is delicious as well as their Eggplant with Tofu.The Pad See Eu was just ok, a little moshy, I think the noodles were little over cooked, though the flavor was good.

Nine & Nine Thai Kitchen - 90 Yellow Curry Pork Garlic Lunch - Thai Near Me - Pasadena, California

This spot was a pretty decent Thai place with very affordable prices. It's a small little spot with indoor as well as outdoor seating. This is what I tried. Green Curry - It's a classic green curry. It was creamy and flavorful. I paid extra for the brown rice. It wasn't brown rice, but more like multigrain rice just FYI. Got it with chicken and overall enjoyed it. (4.5/5) House Tom Yum Noodle Soup - This reminded me of pho. It had many similarities as Vietnamese food but with a sourish Tom Yum. It was good, I enjoyed it. (4/5) This is a pretty solid spot. It's not the best Thai that I've had but it's pretty good. Service was pretty good as well. Not the prettiest spot but not bad for grabbing a quick bite. Spent $30 for two dishes, which is very reasonable. Parking - I parked on the street across from the restaurant. It was 2 hour parking. Few other paid lots around as well. read more

Still a 5/5! I had the wonton soup with egg noodles and it was delicious. It comes with wontons, chicken, egg noodle, bean sprouts, and cilantro. The noodles were chewy, and the wontons were yummy. I was able to finish it, but the waiter said it can be shared among 2-3 people (probably with other dishes). Remains one of my favorite places for quick and tasty food. read more

That little facade taxi out front finally reeled me in. Cozy outdoor and indoor dining areas. An eclectic choice of indoor decor - chandelier and a vintage bicycle on the wall. Some of their favorite things? I wanted to keep the meal light. A small coconut chicken soup and fresh veggie spring roll. Soup was good, easy on the coconut cream and lots of mushrooms. Fresh spring rolls would be a tad better if there was a bit more of mint to give it a little punch for the tofu. A bowl Of peanut sauce on the side was not bad but not heavy on that peanut almost butter taste and consistency. I'm used to having spring rolls with shrimp that helps with flavor. Bbq ribs had this sauce. I couldn't make it out but it was good, just didn't get expect the ribs to be served in a sauce. The tips of the ribs were a little dr. The ribs in general were easy to eat since the rest were tender (besides the tips) Thai tea was tall and cold. I prefer more of the tea than cream. I prefer heavy take on that orange color tea :) Staff was friendly. I'd be back to try their signature pad see noodles When I'm In the neighborhood. read more

Every time I visit Vroman's to get a book, I always see Nine & Nine and never try it. Finally got to try it out today! Friends and I shared our 3 dishes family style. Red curry was a delicious change of pace bc I usually get yellow curry. White rice came in an adorable flower shape. Bamboo shoots in the curry were slim and not as wide as other places! Pad see ew was standard and basil fried rice (both eaten too quickly) had a seared and greasy flavor. Thai tea is on the sweeter side but had a good time with friends either way. read more

This is a small Thai restaurant in Pasadena. There's some seating inside and outside. The food is pretty good and the spice level is definitely there! We ordered to go and the food was ready in a timely manner. - Spicy Catfish: The spicy sauce was delicious, the fish was crispy - however I thought it was a bit overcooked. It came with a side of rice. - Pineapple Curry: My favorite! Sweet and savory! It came with a side of rice. - Thai Toast: This was kind of like a savory version of a French toast but with meat. read more

My husband and I had an amazing lunch at Nine & Nine Thai! I ordered the chicken yellow curry lunch special, and it came with two crispy egg rolls, rice, and a fresh salad--perfectly portioned and full of flavor. The curry was rich, creamy, and just the right amount of spice. I paired it with a Thai iced coffee, and it hit the spot! My husband had the chicken panang curry and chicken fried rice with a Thai tea, and he was just as impressed. The panang had a deliciously deep flavor and the fried rice was savory with tender pieces of chicken throughout. The service was quick and friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. Great portions, great prices, and great flavor--we'll definitely be back! read more

I came in on a Saturday night around 7. We parked across the street on the street. The decorations both outside and inside were cute. The place is small so be aware of that if you plan to come during rush hour. We ordered the Thai toast and Pad See Ew. The toast was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting the sauce to be on the sweeter side but it paired well. I really liked the cucumbers that were part of the sauce. I felt like the Pad See Ew was pretty standard. Nothing super amazing about it but that's not to say that it wasn't good. It was still enjoyable and filled me up! Our server was nice and patiently waited while we decided on what to order. read more
