If you are of a certain age, you will remember the scene from Katz Deli in the movie When Harry met Sally. Well when my dining partner took her first taste of Ninethai Kitchen 2's Chicken Laab her response bordered on that of Meg Ryan and I'm sure if other diners had been there I am sure that they would have been asking for "whatever she is having." I quickly reached over with my chop sticks to get a taste and the tastes made me very happy.
Delicious food is a celebration at this "recovery" Thai restaurant whose ownership has a thriving Philadelphia location as well. The former restaurant apparently did not have a great reputation.
These owners took over this space earlier in the year and still need to work on both the exterior signage and the dining area, which is more than adequate to enjoy an amazing meal but could have more "eye appeal."
Ours was a mid-afternoon meeting not quite lunch nor dinner and we were lovingly greeted by the owner's mother. We had a wonderful conversation with her sharing that her son got her out of retirement. She was an absolute delight and clearly was still learning the technology of the business. We didn't mind ... She was such a sweet dear and highly recommended the noodles
The menu has classic Thai favorites, Thai Street Food, along with some twists on the Thai theme.
I chose the Tom Kha Noodles which elevated that common place Thai classic soup to a new level that filled my hungry belly with an array of flavors.
Yes, NINETHAI KITCHEN 2 (233 S Broadway in Pennsville (Salem County)) is off the beaten path but truthfully it's around the he corner from the Delaware Memorial Bride and I-295.
It felt like we were eating at mom's home and frankly, you can't beat food that maneuvers your face to an extremely happy image as it pleases your taste buds! read more
