Frequently asked questions about Nine Thai
Nine Thai Albans Reviews
My wife and I are foodies. We’ve traveled the world and enjoy eating traditional and authentic cuisines. We will typically go out of our way to have authenticity and quality over convenience. This typically leads us to eating Indian in Jackson heights, Astoria when we want Greek and so on. Here my unbiased opinion on nine Thai: Food: Nine Thai is delicious. It is one of the few restaurants in NYC that closely resembles our travels through Thailand. We love the soups, pad see ew and curries. You can read reviews commenting its inauthenticity, but those people may never had the chance to taste authentic Thai food. They could also be people who associate what Chinese food should taste like based on the Panda Express stall queens center mall. It isn’t those reviewers fault though from the many Thai restaurants we’ve eaten at in forest hills nine Thai isn’t afraid to use ingredients like fish sauce and galagang which most of us Americans aren’t accustom to. Also, it has a fragrance that again most Americans aren’t used to. Service: Listen, know what you’re getting into. The owner makes the food from scratch. She sometimes also has to be the delivery person because these slander reviews can take a toll on a business. We plan for pickup and usually add 20 minutes to the estimated time we are given. And we do so happily knowing that every dish, including the soups, are made to order. Other restaurants will have a huge pot of Tom kha sitting there and you pay for it in quality. Also, the owner is a bit of sassy if you give attitude. Be kind, be patient, be appreciative of good food being cooked from scratch and you will have a 4 star service experience. Atmosphere: I repeat, know what you’re getting into. The place is well decorated. But yes, most of her business is takeout and she will be the owner, waitress and sometimes chef. Sometimes my wife and I will eat in because nothings better than delicious hot soup served right away. I decided to give a 4 star for atmosphere and not 3 because I am knowingly walking in expecting her to be busy. Overall: If you want to try authentic southern Thai food and don’t mind waiting for food to be cooked from scratch then nine Thai is a great option. It happens to be right around the corner for us which makes us thrilled to have them as a yummy option.
One of my favorite local places. They have specials every night on drinks and food at really affordable prices. Very spacious so great for strollers, and the staff is super helpful and really nice. The drinks are also pretty strong :)
I ordered the omelets with rice and minced chicken with holy basil. It’s was delicious. Rice was cooked to perfection, the chicken dish was made to order, with a delicious spicy taste that you will never forget. Must go to on the menu.

Mediocre food, small portions, pricy and super long wait for said mediocre food! We were the only people in the restaurant, yet it took approximately 20 minutes for 2 appetizers and about 30 minutes for our main entrees! Definitely would not recommend especially if you're starving and want to eat!
I’ve never had Pad Kee Mao/Drunken Noodle that was this horrible. So mushy it was like baby food when i called to tell them her response was « i know my food we never get complaints » don’t waste your money

My fat ass wanned something more than just bagel and coffee so i went to this 24 magical thai place and is a lie .It is not open and im still hungry :(
Do not order from here- you will not get authentic food- it will smell like mop water, could not even taste it after smelling it and omg I don’t even think my food was cooked- pineapple fried rice with shrimp- 🤢 🤮 . I swear I never give bad reviews, but if you want to get sick- then go right ahead and order from here. Y’all have to do better and improve, I know times are rough but pleaseee do better
DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY. As a cafe business owner myself, I would never talk to a customer the way the person who picked up the phone does. I ordered at 10am on DoorDash. I also did double dash so my add on delivery arrived around 11:15am but my original food from Nine Thai still didn't arrive. The tracking shows the driver arriving to the restaurant at almost 12pm and it's now 12:50pm. I called the restaurant and the woman who picked up said the "driver just got here... and we are making your order" and I told her I ordered at 10am and the driver has been waiting 45 min and I have spoken to the driver. She told me "I don't know, complain to doordash" and hung up without even apologizing. Totally rude. I would never order from here again. 3hrs later and still no food. Update: food arrived around 1:15pm. The Thai iced coffee came in like a solo cup with a cap and was taped all over. It also tasted bad. The chicken basil was decent but I've had better. The pad see ew was okay but Nothing to rave about. The "steamed dumplings" were just normal shui Mai and not worth the price. Definitely would not order from here again.
Do not order from here . As per the other reviews I ordered while working in the area and they were closed while their business hours said open. Reached out to Menufy and from what their customer service said the restaurant wouldn’t authorize a refund. I don’t actually know who this is worse for, the restaurant (who after reading other reviews are clearly scam artists) or Menufy.
This is insulting. 9:38p we placed an order. 10:15p we got a call that food is ready 10:31p I come in the woman I spoke with is not there a man just keeps yelling at me “I don’t know” brings out a print out of my order points at it aggressively and keeps yelling “I don’t know”. I literally felt threatened. We were the only people there. I’m coming back tomorrow to hopefully speak to management.

Waiting nearly 2 hours on seamless and still haven’t gotten my food for a 10 minute bike ride. Both of their numbers don’t work, even the cell on hand in the voicemail goes to a guy who doesn’t want to be bothered. The grub hub app doesn’t tell you when they are arriving so you just wait until your food is cold, gone or missing.
Food is okay. But the service is terrible. The girl seems like not willing to take order. Giving annoyed expressions asking for anything. Severed burnt food. Not coming again for sure. No customers was there that was a red flag
Absolutely horrible service. I ordered through Grubhub and the order never came through. I give them a call and the lady on the phone says Grubhub was supposed to pick up the order when it clearly states on the app their deliveries aren’t affiliated with Grubhub deliverers. She tries to make up an excuse saying it’s a problem they tried to fix a while ago but “Grubhub just never fixed it”. Extremely unprofessional and will not ever order from here ever again. Did not even attempt to deliver the order.
they never pick up the phone they let you order food on delivery sites and never prepare it and keep pushing back the delivery times
Absolutely RUDE! Ordered 3 hours ahead and food wasn’t ready. Food should not take 3+ hours to make. If you’re looking g for horrible customer service this is the place to be. Girl in front was rude with an ATTITUDE. NEVER ORDERING FROM THEM AGAIN! I’d rather travel farther and pay more for mediocre food then coming back here again! Disgusted but this place.
These people are so sliwpokey; whining that I’m calling them. If they didn’t mess up the order i wouldn’t have to call them. And the crazy part is I’m deaf and I used sign language to communicate using video relay services: they kept hanging up on me for 10 straight minutes. I’m going to file discrimination case against them with the division of human rights. They violated my rights by denying my calls using video relay services. They don’t deserve to have their business up and running.
Service was absolutely poor. The lady at the front was doing paperwork and won’t even sit us down. Then went we sat down and ready to order she took our order while sitting 😐. Her tone and hospitality was poor to the ground. And as CUSTOMERS we had to ask her twice about using the bathroom. As customers. I will never set foot in this place again. I left without even ordering
I ordered delivery from uber eats since 9:45 am and till until 12 noon . I didn’t get my food and they adjusted the price higher than expected later on. Very disappointed. If u want good food and not over long waiting time, please don’t order from this restaurant and don’t waste your time please
Absolutely terrible experience. The customer service is unbelievably rude - instead of listening to customers, they argue back and forth like it's a debate. As someone who's actually Thai, I can say with confidence this is not authentic Thai food. Whoever is cooking clearly has no idea what real Thai food tastes like. The dishes were bland, poorly made, and nothing close to what they claim to serve. I honestly don't understand how this restaurant is still open after seeing so many bad reviews. Completely unprofessional from start to finish. Never again.
i’ve tried to order food from this place multiple times and they always approve the order but never prepare or relive my food. i try calling, no one picks up. so disappointing. don’t get food from here
