Sushi, Thai curries & other Pan-Asian dishes are served in a hip, modern space with a full bar.
I’m half Thai and Japanese, and I would say this place has a very special food combination.
Most importantly, the services are real impressive as I think I forgot my earphone at the table so I called to ask them and The response was very helpful and generous.
I will come back again
We stopped in for lunch because we thought it looked like a nice place. We were right and then some! Excellent food, I had the sushi which was some of the best I've ever had in 35 years, the rest of our party was extremely impressed with their dishes as well. Can't compliment the owner and staff enough on their cleanliness, efficiency, and friendliness. If you like Asian food I can confidently recommend Asia 9.
A lot of wows: orange chicken, sushi is very good. It’s not my favorite restaurant but if you want this vibe it’s really good
I don’t feel like writing a whole review tho ngl
My table was sticky which was a little annoying
But there was a lot of wow food and the service was good. Would be great for takeout but maybe not a date, unless you really like the food
It’s 4.5 for its category but I’m going to roundup
As a newcomer to the area from New Jersey, stumbling upon this Thai restaurant was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped in, I was transported back to the flavors and aromas of home. The authenticity of the dishes served here is remarkable, reminiscent of the vibrant Thai cuisine I've grown to love. Each bite was a culinary journey, bursting with rich spices and fresh ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant further enhanced the dining experience, with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this gem of a restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. Thank you for always knowing which wine I like:)
My friend and I went out for a Galentine's dinner. I didn’t expect great service since it was Valentine’s Day and bound to be busy. The food was good, and the drinks were too. But as we sat chatting, a roach crawled out at the bar. That ruined the experience for me, so they got 3 stars instead of 5.

My absolute favorite restaurant! Me and my family always get the same thing lol the crispy basil chicken and the asia nine lomein, definitely worth trying! Me and my friends love this place also. The best and most friendly staff :)
I got the orange chicken and it was really good! Crispy coating, the sauce had a nice flavor and the meat was really good quality. The restaurant has great decor and a very friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
Always welcome us with a smile and great service!
I visited this place about a year ago and enjoyed it. I went 3 weeks ago and had a horrible experience. Our food was cold when it came out, and the waitress was rude and not accommodating to me. She refilled my boyfriends water and not mine and basically threw the check at me at the end.
Excellent Asian food spot with an interesting cocktail menu.
Great as always
The steamed dumplings were too good. Great speedy service! You will get the food very fast. And the seats were comfy.
Scale 1-10 and one being the lowest and ten being the highest. 10+ is my score.
Their food is good. Atmosphere and service was good too. The only downside is when we found out that they applied auto gratuity which was unexpected
The Drunken Noodles were ok, not the greatest. The Barbecue Chicken was bad, flavorless and dried, don’t order it!
We had a great great experience.
Ordered more than 30 times from here. Always excellent food!
Staff is excellent and the food is!! I go often and always have a great time!
I live in Crown, this place never lets me down. The recent renovation to the outdoor grass area will only make outdoor meals here incredible. I get the Mexico roll and Chicken Lo Mein. Crispy pork belly is phenomenal as well. The prices are fair and the food is outstanding. The service and ownership are friendly and will always make sure you leave happy.
A bug was in my food told the waitress and she brought back a plate with half the food gone. I’m sure they didn’t make a new dish but rather just took off the part where the bug was which is UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Will not be returning shame on them!
Overpriced and mid
The hostess with the glasses needs some retraining
Hostess with glasses gives you service based on your appearance. I’m sure y’all can fill in the blanks
I buy dessert from ice cream
No lunch menu. Great atmosphere dispite the construction. Prices (~$25 entree) higher than expected for quality and quantity.
A lot of wows: orange chicken, sushi is very good. It’s not my favorite restaurant but if you want this vibe it’s really good

Enjoyed our meal. Everything was delicious! Servers were all polite and and attentive.
The food is great, spice level is perfect and you can get your food really spicy. The service is excellent. I have been there three times now and I believe her name is PA, she's extraordinary. Everyone is so nice. On this trip we brought our kids and they really liked the food.
I don't know who makes the martinis but two thumbs up.
It is one of my favorite places to get fried rice, crab wonton, and sushi .
Today , we visited this restaurant for what was probably our fourth or fifth time. Our previous experience had been good enough that we chose to dine there again and again. Unfortunately, today’s experience was disappointing. The waitress became rude from the moment my wife asked to have her drink without ice. First she said that was not possible but, after we questioned that stance, agreed to do it. From then on, she became rude with one word answers. At the end of the meal, she automatically tacked on a 20% gratuity ($30+) for our party of four. We paid without questioning it. In the way out, I took the liberty to ask another waitress about their policy and she said the automatic 20% was for parties of 6 or more. I requested the manager and asked her the same. She was quite ambiguous while saying it was possible during peak hours. I pointed out the discrepancy with the previous server and she offered to remove the automatic tip. I declined, thanked her and left. Don’t think we will go back.
Always a go to place for drunken noodles
Ordered beef noodles soup (pho). No Lime, peppers, hoisin, bean sprouts or anything that normally accompanies. Basically threw our food on the table. So. So. Rude. Waitress “Eiun" smirked as she dropped off a packet of hot sauce telling me it was siracha - it was not . Orange chicken was good and so was Korean beef but the waitress was so rude it ruined the experience.

Excellent sushi, take out service excellent, in house service mixed
The only complaint I have is they will NOT substitute nor when u ask for a lil extra Sauce (pouring a tad more over ur chicken dish) on side- NOPE!!! " It's Cooked n That's It"
Food is always amazing here I always recommend it to anyone in the area
I ordered;
(1)Crab wonton $10
(1)Wonton soup $8
(1)Miso soup $6
(1) Rainbow roll $17
(1)Yellow curry $16 (split/shared this dish)
(1)Mango martini $11
(2) yuzu martini $11
Total was around $90
With 6% tax
$95.40
The menu mentions a automatic gratuity charge added for a large party
We only had 3 people at our table including myself
Total was $109.34
I was unaware of gratuity added into the total
Since our table was only a party of 3 which isn’t a large party.
So I added a 20% tip on top of the total of $109.34
Making the final total $131.21
A tad disappointed in this place I’ve never had issues before, $21.87 extra tip on top of the 18% they added that I didn’t have
Feb 18,2024 table #43- 2 Bill #3
Just no. Watered down Panang curry, tasteless.
They didn’t provide with the correct receipt and tip was already included!
We had to asked them to give a copy of the receipt.
Food was okay but the ambience is great.
Great place with fresh produce.
To preface this review, I am leaving a 1 star due to the fact that a gratuity charge was added for a party of 3 adults + 1 kid, during non-peak hours or even a large group. They are not notifying customers before hand and it looks like they charge gratuity to any party size.
The food was okay, we visited August 20th and ordered several dishes, 4 drinks and a side of udon noodles. The staff was friendly and attentive, considering we were the only patrons at the time, it makes sense.
The orange chicken was sliced very thin, almost like jerky once fried. I ordered a barbeque type chicken. Apart from the flavor of the spicy sauce to dump over the chicken, the chicken charred flavor was heavily prevalent. I didn't try the chicken green curry, but was told it was great.
When we got the bill, I paid like normal, not really looking it over assuming the server got it all on there. When I got it back, we were discussing a cash tip amount, when I saw Gratuity charge. I waited for the server and asked if this gratuity charge is normal and they said yes. While I prefer to leave a tip on my own accord, it was decided for me, without notifying me.
I acknowledged this and did not leave a tip, as they tipped themselves on a party of 4. My mom and sister regularly eats here and it was my first time. After I realized that, I asked them and they were also upset because they paid AND tipped, not realizing this restaurant charges gratuity on all orders. Several other posts are indicating this, but not nearly as many as you would expect.
Delicious food, friendly service and calming/relaxing atmosphere.
Always great service and food is always consistent
Great food and great experience
The place nice, presentation of the food amazing but the taste of the food not like I thought. I ordered seafood dranken noodles, the seafood taste good but the noodles greasy and not really can taste the Thai seasonings. Service was fine.
The service fee was not mentioned before ordering the food and not included with the tip. This is outrageous!
Food was good but they charged a service fee that they did not mention. We were only a party of 3 people. My food was 34 dollars without tax and my total ended up being 44 dollars. The service fee was 6 dollars. And then on top of that they asked for tip. I feel scammed
Yumm
Was pleasantly surprised with both the sushi and the Thai food. Will be returning soon!
Pretty average. The food is expensive and and the tap water here is horrible and smells like methane!
Very yummy! Good looking restaurant! Scallion dumpling and chicken satay were super good. Great Orange chicken. Their padthai is among the best in the area.
Very average food. Too oily.
Went for lunch. Wasn't packed. Nice taste. Ordered spicy friend rice and drunken noodles and both were nice and flavorful. Will visit again
Owner offered us free desserts. May you all be well and happy!
They have very good selection of food and taste superb. Our server Pha is very courteous and knows exactly what we want. This is my family’s favorite place to dine. Very nice ambience and very welcoming.
I'm impressed with how tasty and flavored the food is, very friendly and fast service!
This place is superb. It has a fusion of Chinese, Thai, and Japanese menus. The place is super cool and has a great ambiance. We ordered sushi, drunken noodles, and miso soup. All the food items and service were great. I definitely recommend this place as we go here often for dining.
Love Asia nine! The pork belly pad Thai is out of this world, as is the green curry!
I love it here. The Vegas Roll is a fav.
Wonderful and extremely underrated Restaurant!!! Food and drinks very tasty, and staff very friendly. Beautifully decorated restaurant with a feel-good atmosphere. We celebrated my daughter's birthday yesterday at Asia Nine and specifics about the experience is being shared by the birthday kid herself:
Ben is my favorite waiter ❤️❤️❤️. And I got surprised for my birthday with ice cream and candles 🎂 🥳 l love Asian nine.
Second kid review: I like Asian 9 because it was so fun! It was the best experience I've ever had especially for birthdays it was the 👍 and its was an amazing service. It's a perfect place for any event🤩.
I ordered shrimp fried rice with extra egg. The meal cost $22 and only came with 5 pieces of shrimp and minimal egg.
This place had amazing food and wonderful service. Our server was kind, patient, and understanding. She was able to suggest vegetarian dishes that weren't on the menu and all the food was so tasty and different flavored! My sister ordered drunken noodles mild and they were amazing. The papaya salad was fresh and tangy, the orange tofu was perfect, and the green curry was really great.
It was my first time at Asia Nine, and I really enjoyed my experience. We had calamari that was cooked perfectly. We followed that by having a delicious bowl of Pho.
Ordered drunken noodle to go. It was spicy as hell considering they didnt ask me the spice level when i ordered online! Usually chili oil is given on the side but this was covered in it. I couldn’t eat it without my lips and my mouth burning with spice. Probably wont order to go from here again.
We had a great experience We enjoyed sitting outside. We were a group of 4 with 3 vegetarians who needed modifications/substitutions. Food was delicious and our server was excellent. Our kids enjoyed the cute photo booth set up inside for Father's day.
Food was good and well-priced. Staff was very friendly.
It was a great experience, the service was seamless and the food was good, a good place to go for special occasions
Everything was great. Food was amazing
I recently visited Asia Nine, a Thai restaurant located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The decoration of the restaurant was also fantastic, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Now let's talk about the food! It looked absolutely amazing and tasted even better. I tried the sushi sashimi combo and the volcano roll, and they were both outstanding! The sushi was fresh and tasted like it was made with care. The volcano roll was perfectly balanced with a combination of spicy and savory flavors that were an absolute treat for my taste buds.
The drinks were also a highlight of the evening. I tried their house-made lemonade and lychee coconut cooler and they were both refreshing and delicious. They perfectly complemented the flavors of the food. Straw were made out of paper! So they are definitely environmentally conscious
All in all, I would highly recommend Asia Nine to anyone looking for delicious Thai cuisine with a touch of creativity. The food, drinks, and service were all top-notch, making for an unforgettable dining experience. I cannot wait to return and try more of their offerings! A five-star rating is well deserved.
Also parking is connected to the same building where the restaurant is so you will not have to talk as much to visit !
Awesome restaurant, extremely underrated. I was very impressed with the selection of sushi and cocktails, all of which were very fairly priced for the high quality we received. They had a nice variety of cocktails and sake too. It is also the only sushi restaurant I've found in the area where I could order sea urchin, which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere was excellent as well, I regret not sitting up in the bar area because of how nice it looked. Would definitely recommend Asia Nine to anyone coming to downtown crown, I will for sure be coming back.
They serve mostly Japanese, Thai and Asian fusion dishes here. My friends and I ordered the three flavor tilapia, crispy basil, miso soup, and
My favorite asian fushion/thai spot
Came here for some sushi and really glad we did. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous! I couldn’t help looking around and admiring the decor.
I got the chirashi bowl, it’s my go to. And it was fresh and delicious. I’ll have to come back to try some of their other cuisine besides sushi!
We have dined in and ordered takeout from here. Food is always delicious. Only wish that there orange chicken should have more chicken in it cuz otherwise we are only eating the batter.
Every time I come here I leave happy. I have been 4 times and tried a new dish every time. Food is so good. The staff is also friendly. Nice atmosphere. Try the Cantonese fried rice or the chicken satay!
Nice place , nice quality food , slightly pricey from my point of view .
Wonderful service, excellent quality and great place.
Love this food. It’s fresh and so delicious! Highly recommend!
This restaurant has a good ambience. I was particularly impressed with their off menu dish: seafood overload.
It was delicious and I would definitely order it again.
The Thai tea I ordered was also very good.
I ordered food here almost two years regularly. Today Pad Tai was terrible, a lot of spicy!!! A lot. It was a Pick up order . When I called and told my issue, answer was : “this is tai food, bye- bye” and hang out.
This venue is overlooked and undervalued in the Downtown Crown neighborhood. It is rarely crowded, which makes it an ideal for restaurant-goers who prefer a less boisterous ambience with their meal.
I find the staff to always be polite and accommodating. The Colors are vibrant and have a great significance here. The purple and green walls are adorned with gold/ brass plates.
Sushi rolling table is positioned dead center of the venue, so you can observe the artistry of your sushi getting rolled right in front of you!
The bright white bar area shines like a halo, boasting an eye-catching array of unique cocktail options. The Pearl of Andaman is my favorite- I order it without the Chambord.
While some scoff at the diversity of the cuisines featured on the menu, I have yet to hear anyone say the meal did not supersede those prejudices. Go see for yourself next time you’re in the neighborhood!
Great place but when busy they need more wait staff to handle the customers waited quite a long time for the party of 9 we had for the checks and food to go.
Dont not come eat at this place. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Horrible food and customer service. Hated the plate brought out to me , tried to work something out but the manager didn’t even offer an alternative.
Underrated Asian place, addicting cellophane noodles and delicious curry.
Absolutely amazing dining experience. Definitely going back!
Tempura udon !!!! Awesome
I have been here a few times and ordered carry out, every time it’s been delicious! The sushi is also great! Definitely recommend.
Very friendly service and a nice menu selection. We ordered an array of dishes--sashimi, drunken noodles, crab fried rice, and soft shelled crab tempura. All of the dishes had good flavor and we kept going back for more. Would definitely recommend this place when you have a craving for pan Asian dishes.
Great food and friendly staff
Leche Rita! Leche Rita! Leche Rita! As long as they keep this on the menu Ill keep coming back. Also the Thai Basil Spicy rice with shrimp is hands down one of the best fried rice dishes Ive ever had!
Don’t understand the low reviews we had one of the best Thai-infused meals we’ve had since moving from NYC. Atmosphere was cozy, clean, and upscale. Service was amazing and they listened to our special requests to a T! If you enjoy chives (smell & taste), HIGHLY RECOMMEND the chive dumplings 🥟- absolutely DELICIOUS. Also had the best spring rolls ever! For entrees, the Panang Curry (they asked for preferred spice level; we asked for 3 out of 5) was INCREDIBLE. Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) hit the SPOT 🤤 (spice level; 4 out 5). If you’re considering, DO IT!!!! The only thing that could use work is the sushi, which was just alright.
Kapow on rice is amazing!
This place was delicious! The service was lovely, the food was great, and the plating was on point too! They have a ton of plant-based options, and I went with the Garlic Lovers entree and a sweet potato roll. The sweet potato in the roll is tempura’ed and adds great texture. I asked for tofu in the garlic dish, and they were able to accommodate that and the tofu was even seasoned which was a nice surprise. This was my first time here and I’d definitely come back.
Seems like a nice place. Pretty decor, some menu items were ok. The female waitresses need a check on learning on basic service manners. I’d rather go elsewhere.
Potential but disappointing. Medicare at best
Had lunch here for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Got the larb chicken and chicken satay and had taste appetizers and had tastes of some of what everyone else ordered. Everything was really yummy. The Thai iced tea was particularly good. We went on a Saturday between lunch and dinner and it wasn't particularly busy. We had great service. Definitely worth trying out.
I love Thai food, and this was 1 of the best I've had. If you are in the neighborhood, don't look past the restaurant.
Avacado sushi yumm
Excellent sushi and Thai food
Terrible experience where they put service charge of 20 percent for dine in guests of more than 4 parties. We a family of 5 with small kids and a baby were levied a 20 percent surcharge. Waitress was adamant that it was the system and couldn't do anything. A 3 month old baby can't eat anything but we had to pay a surcharge of 20 percent service fee for that. Ridiculous and avoid this place. There are far better thai and Chinese places around. Rude waitress and bad customer service.
Had a great meal with good service. They were great about our dietary restrictions and very attentive to our needs
Highly recommended! Asian nine is a hidden GEM! I tried chive dumpling and drunken noodle at this restaurant ! Both were very delicious!
Food was good. Portion looks like smaller than before but still acceptable.
Service is a bit slow. It looks like they were understaff.
Went for dinner, got the curry, it was good and flavorful. Ambiance was good.
The rudest customer service I have ever received.
Food is well over priced not going back.
Had a wonderful experience. Food was excellent!
Place is always busy, so the food takes some time to arrive, but it's definitely worth it!!
Great food and a really cool interior. The menu was super deep, so i can see myself coming back.
Highly recommend this place!!
Here is what I ordered.
The pork dumplings came with miso soup.
I also got cooked sushi combo , eight pieces were California roll, worth trying the other half eight if you are beginner at eating sushi.
And for the drink I had a sunset something I can’t really recall 😅
Tasty
Food was delicious and service was fantastic. Definitely recommend
음식이 맛있고 친절합니다.
Poor customer service. We dined in on a Saturday afternoon and were the only customers there . Even still, it took a very long time to get served. The sushi was okay, but the teriyaki chicken was cold . It took us a while to flag someone down so that we could ask to send it back and warmed up. It was never really clear to us who our server was and felt very unorganized despite it not being too busy. It felt as if the staff has very little interest in their customers. The minimal interaction that we did have, did not seem very personable. Unfortunately, I will not be going back for mediocre sushi and bad service.
the food and service was good.
Efficient staff, not too crowded, good tasting food.
I went back in November for my birthday. The service, drinks, location and decor was great but the food was definitely overpriced for the small portion given and the menu choices were pretty basic. I’ve been to many Thai places but this one was more on aesthetics than quality of food in my opinion.
My wife and I have ordered food from Asia Nine many times since it opened in Downtown Crown. Tonight, our food lacked flavor and did not taste fresh. Bronzino was dry, Lo Mein tasted like plastic and the Crab Fried Rice smelled ‘old.’
The experience was so disappointing that we will not dine here again.
Responding to the owner - we have ordered delivery from your restaurant more times than I can count. That has nothing to do with food that is bland and smells old.
Service great, food was good, and the drink were good but too sweet.
Very good food. Never had anything less that pretty good. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a vast array of Asian cuisine because everything I’ve had was of good quality.
Thank you.
