Tucked right into the heart of the Oregon District at 11 Brown St, Dayton, OH 45402, this place is way more than your average Thai restaurant. It’s got style, it’s got personality, and most importantly—it’s got some of the best food in the city. From the second you step through the door, you can feel the energy. The vibe is modern with a hint of traditional flair.

Let’s get into that menu though—because Thai 9 doesn’t mess around. Whether you're a Pad Thai purist, a curry lover, or a sushi addict, this place has your cravings on lock. The Pad Thai is a fan favorite for a reason—chewy noodles, crunchy peanuts, fresh bean sprouts, and just the right balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. If you’re a curry enthusiast, you’ll lose your mind over their green and red curry options. Rich, creamy coconut milk bases loaded with veggies and your choice of protein make for a dish that warms your soul in the best way. And then there’s the sushi bar, which honestly could be a standalone restaurant on its own. Thai 9 offers everything from classic rolls to signature creations like the Dragon Roll, Spider Roll, and even vegetarian options that pack just as much punch.

What sets Thai 9 apart—besides the incredible variety—is their spice level customization. You can choose anywhere from level 1 to 9 depending on how brave you’re feeling that day. If you’re someone who loves to break a sweat while eating, this is your dream. But even if you’re more of a mild flavor fan, there’s still something here for you. And the kitchen respects your choice, so you get exactly what you want—no more, no less.

Beyond the food, the location of Thai 9 is perfect. Nestled in the Oregon District, it’s surrounded by cool coffee shops, boutique stores, art galleries, and nightlife that’s alive and buzzing on the weekends. It’s also just a few blocks away from Day Air Ballpark, home of the Dayton Dragons, which makes it a go-to spot for a pre-game meal or post-game celebration. The district itself is super walkable, so you can enjoy a leisurely stroll after dinner and explore the charm of this historic neighborhood.

And let’s not forget the drinks—because Thai 9 brings it in that department too. Their drink menu features a huge selection of international beers, a well-curated wine list, and cocktails that pair beautifully with spicy dishes. Whether you’re sipping on a cold Singha beer or treating yourself to a lychee martini, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Maybe even order dessert. And yes, the mango sticky rice is as good as everyone says—soft, sweet, slightly salty, and completely addictive.
