Khun 9 Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Torrance

I went to this place based on the Google reviews. The food was fine, but I am disappointed with the portion and the way that they upsold the dish that I ordered. I ordered pad krapaw with sliced chicken breast. The waitress told me that it came with ground chicken breast and that I needed to pay an additional $2.00 if I wanted sliced chicken breast. If, according to her, the ground chicken was chicken breast, why should I pay more just because I wanted sliced chicken breast instead of ground chicken breast. This is the reason why I don't want ground chicken, because it is ground and it could be anything, but the real thing. Then, when I finally got my order, the chicken was cut in paper thin slices. Very thin slices spreaded on the plate just to make it look like it was a fair portion, but it was not. The thinner the slices, the less flavor, because thin pieces of chicken can't absorb the seasoning and spices as well as a thicker slice of chicken. Not only that, a thin slice of chicken can easily be overcooked, and it will just ruin the meal. I don't think that I might go back because I don't want to pay an additional $2.00 for such a small portion of chicken; plus the way they cut the chicken just to make more profit is not something that I would like...

My friend and I ordered two dinner specials and were happy with what we got. I ordered their Tofu Penang Curry which came with white rice, side salad, and a fried wonton. I wasn't able to have the wonton but the curry itself was good (although it's hard to mess up coconut milk & curry paste). It definitely had a kick to it and I did ask for spicy, so I was happy it turned out that way.

You don't normally find good dinner boxed sets at most restaurants anymore so it's a nice change of pace to see one being offered, especially at a Thai restaurant of all places. Thanks Khun 9 for the fast, simple,...

I go here often because it's very convenient for lunch. It gets busy, but that's for a reason. The food is excellent, and service is top notch. The staff is friendly and inviting, and the value is great. Portions are large for the price and they're always willing to work with you if you have a substitution out special request. If you are getting a to-go order it's a good idea to call ahead so you don't have to wait. It's a small place so waiting can be tough and if they're busy a to-go order can take a bit. Also, if you start going regularly they'll begin to remember you and your order, and I personally love feeling like...
