The 9th Monarch

You walk into a very pleasant atmosphere with soft music playing in the background. The staff is friendly, welcoming and professional. We were seated quickly at a clean table. My wife ordered the Wonton Soup and Lo Mein while I went with the Scorpion Role and Thai Fried Rice with Chicken. My wife enjoyed her meal as did I. My rice was cooked to perfection and had a nice amount of chicken and vegetables. The Scorpion Role was very fresh and tasty with large pieces. Catherine did a great job as our waitress. She was attentive and quick to bring us whatever we asked for. It was a nice dinner for two.

I ordered the Tom Kah soup. Delicious! It’s creamy, tangy, and spicy in a way that makes you go back for ‘just one more spoonful’… ten times.” And the mushrooms are fresh not canned. Love it! I got a 2nd bowl to go!!

I recommend getting the papaya salad which is the photo with the white strips. Very good! We also got red curry (which isn't the photo but another dish I forget the name of which tastes exactly like red curry). Then the last photo is pad see ew. Everything was great!

Reasonably priced sushi. I always get takeout, but the restaurant looks nice. I recommend the 9th Monarch ( especially now that they have "regular hours." It used to be hit or miss to find this gem open, but it's all good now.

First visit, pleasantly surprised (you just never know what you're going to get). The food exceeded exceptions. Very flavorful and well presented. I ordered the Spicy Basil Seafood an my wife a noodle soup. Both excellent. More of focus on quality than huge quantity (but plenty enough). Nice decor. Very clean. It's quiet so it's easy to have a conversion, even in a group. Drinks available but not a boozy /party place. Service was prompt and attentive, but not a lot of hovering. Prices are reasonable. I grade on a curve. This was really quite nice for an unassuming location. We will be back.
