Thai Food Stall 999 Shinjuku Branch — Restaurant in Tokyo

We went on a Sunday evening. The place was packed so the service was kinda slow, but it’s understandable. The waitress was very friendly.

For the food, we ordered 4 dishes: Gapao rice, Nam Tok Kor Moo Yang (spicy grilled pork neck salad), Kao Kaa Moo (braised pork with rice), and Som Tam. The taste in general is a little lacking. The dishes that should not be sweet (Gapao and grilled pork) were sweet but the braised pork dish could use a bit more saltiness and sweetness. Som Tam totally blew me away because of the weird texture and the unbalanced taste. I’m not too sure I will visit again for the taste.

The value for money is quite good though. For less than 1,000 yen and the big portion, it’s quite nice if you think the taste...

We enjoyed the food and the lively atmosphere. The staff were friendly, but don't expect much English. We just used Google translate to interpret the menu and the staff were patient! The food was good at decent prices. My wife and I needed three dishes and some spring rolls as an app to feel satisfied...and we made room for some fried bananas as dessert. With 4 beer the total was about 7000 yen.

NOTE: there is a table charge per person of 360 yen. We didn't notice this so it caused some confusion, some menu checking and addition, and a bit of annoyance for the server. So when your bill does not add up, that...

Thai style food in Japan. Very limited English on the menu. The waitress was able to describe the dishes in english. I just pointed at one and she said spicy chicken. It was pretty spicy and really good. They also brought out a small bowl of noodle and a cucumber slice with some type of dressing. Also got a suntory malt which as refreshing. My dish was 950 yen and drink was 450 yen and got charged 1850 yen. So guessing a 500 yen cover charge or tax? I didn't know about the extra 500 when I sat down...maybe they tack it on for tourists. I was so jetlagged and exhausted that I didn't bother asking....
