The Nines Thai Cuisine

Set quietly in the back, the kitchen balances familiar noodle staples with distinct regional dishes. The menu runs from pad see ew, wantons, and eggplant basil to specialties like Pla Lui Suan, larb, and coconut shrimp, flanked by yellow and pa-nang curries. Plating is fresh and appetizing, and when diners ask for spicy, the cooks take heat requests literally. The meal winds down over coconut ice cream or mango sticky rice, served by a crew attentive enough to recognize returning guests.
