Great food and a lovely ambiance.
Delicious! I love that the restaurant looks nice and clean and the food is always fresh and delicious. I recommend the pad Thai and spicy noodles and curry too. The service is on point with the food and the wait time is not bad at all.
Delicious spicy noodles and crispy fried cream cheese wontons. Fast friendly service for both dine in and take out.
Nice people, good food
Great food, lovely service, quite, and not too heavy on the wallet.
The food was yummy and the atmosphere was relaxing and slightly formal.
Good food, friendly staff. My friends who love Thai food think this is the best Thai food around in this area. This is one of the few restaurants in this area that actually has some personality.

My husband and I have been coming here for the past 5 years. We have always liked the food and atmosphere. However, something has definitely changed in the past year.and not for the better! We have been ordering the same meals weekly for the past 5 years, and we definitely have a solid foundation to compare our experiences to. We have been suffering through the decline, but have continued to go back. Tonight was the last straw! When we dine in they usually give me a larger side of each. My husband always orders the pineapple fried rice. He always like to add a little peanut sauce to his meal, and they ALWAYS give him a hard time about it. It's $15.99 for basically a bowl of rice, and they give him grief about a little peanut sauce. We are only talking about an ounce of sauce! Again, tonight he ordered on line and went to pick up our order. We had already indicated that we wanted a little extra sauce, and when he got there to pick it up, they did not give him any. My husband was embarrassed and humiliated by a male server named Thai (sp?) because he "got loud" about us asking for extra sauce. He reprimanded my husband and said that his pineapple rice did not come with sauce. My husband offered to pay for a side of sauce, but this man continued to insist that the dish did not come with sauce! Then he gave him a hard time about the sauces for my meal. In addition to the soup I always get the Sampler 1. Due to the size of the sampler, I ask for an extra plum sauce and peanut sauce, so I have enough for everything. My husband stated to him that we regularly spend $ 40 to $50 dollars weekly on dinner for 2 and asked if they were willing to lose a customer over sauce? This man "Thai" told my husband that they have a "special chef" that they have hired to come in and make sauce, and it is "special sauce". Really?? Does he think that we are idiots? I also ordered the Tom Khar soup with chicken (no tomatoes, no onions and no mushrooms)but mine had mushrooms in it! I am allergic! Geez! So careless. In addition to the soup I always get the Sampler 1. Due to the size of the sampler, I ask for an extra plum sauce and peanut sauce, so I have enough for everything. We are regular dining out customers, at many different dining establishments in San Diego. I have NEVER been charged or denied an extra sauce of anything if we wanted it! Plus they gave me mushrooms when it was specified.NO MUSHROOMS. I could have had a very bad reaction had I not notice them!! Plus, to add insult to injury, my shrimp in the sampler were minuscule and dried out. We definitely have other options for Thai food and will be exploring them. Phra Ram 9 has lost 2 excellent customers. We will also be sure to let all of our friends know of our terrible experience.
High quality Thai food, and excellent lunch specials at a reasonable price. Get there before noon because it gets busy
Best Thai food I've ever had. We were in La Mesa on vacation for 7 days and we ended up visiting this place TWICE for dinner. The first time I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken. The second time I had the Pad Thai. DELICIOUS. The ambiance is very nice and the service was excellent as well.
