Nine & Night Thai Cuisine

We were told this was some of the best Thai in Buffalo and it lived up to the hype! We tried the coconut shrimp, fried dumplings, fresh spring rolls and crab rangoon for appetizers, they were all delicious! Then for the main course, we haf the vermicelli soup with squid and shrimp, they were the most tender and tasty shrimp I have had, the ma ma noodke soup was also great. We had a large group and everyone went home very happy with their meals, highly recommended, make sure to ask for the hot oil and dried thai chillis, add a little of these to your soup or meal for that perfect kick of spice. Prices were reasonable, enjoyed the location and atmosphere, the service was very good.

I have been there several times. If you’re looking for truly authentic Thai food in the U.S., this place is a gem. The flavors are bold, balanced, and just like what you’d find in Thailand—spicy, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. You can tell the dishes are made with care and tradition. The owners are incredibly kind and patient. They take time to explain the menu and are happy to adjust spice levels or offer recommendations. Their warmth really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautifully decorated, with a clean, spacious layout and a view that makes dining here even more enjoyable. Whether you’re coming for a casual lunch or a relaxing dinner, it’s a great place to unwind and enjoy exceptional Thai cuisine.

One of the best places for Burmese & Thai food! As a muslim i do stick with just veggie items, so i personally have not tried the meat options but my friends always talk about how good it is. I usually always get a salad dish and it never disappoints! You never have to wait a long time either and the food always comes out looking beautiful! Definitely try out their papaya salad and Thai tea!!

To start off I should say I am from the Pacific Northwest where you can get truly authentic Thai food. This place is probably the best Thai food I have found in Buffalo. Tom ka is watery and could definitely use more coconut. But honestly, most places in Buffalo serve it as a white soup and this one is orange so we're on the right track. The green curry is also missing something but is not bad. This is my first time trying a papaya salad so I don't have much background but it was very nice and light. The best thing I got by far is the pad see ew. Would highly recommend. The mango sticky rice is sweet but not overly sweet. Would also get again.

I recently dined at Nine & Night Thai Cuisine in Buffalo and had a very positive experience, so here’s my detailed review: ⸻ What we ordered & enjoyed • We had the Panang curry and also a large serving of fried rice. The curry was rich, well-seasoned and came with a nice vegetable base (we noticed a good amount of broccoli and other veggies, which was great since we favour vegetarian-friendly meals). • The fried rice likewise was good quality, flavorful, and nicely balanced. • We also enjoyed a taro smoothie—cool, refreshing, well-prepared and a great accompaniment to the meal. • As vegetarians, the fact that the kitchen included more vegetables and made a point of accommodating was a plus. ⸻ Ambience & service • The ambience was relaxed and pleasant: a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a meal. • Service was neat and efficient. I particularly noticed that even though it seemed quite limited staff on-floor (we counted only one young woman managing the dining room and taking care of orders), she handled things very well—friendly, attentive, and kept things moving. • One small note: with only one person handling most of the front-of-house duties, wait times might increase during very busy periods—but on our visit things were smooth. ⸻ Stand-out positives • Quality of food: The flavours were clean, fresh, and well-executed. The vegetable content was generous (important to us) and the dishes had a good sense of authenticity. • Vegetarian-friendly options and flexibility: They clearly did not skimp on veggies, which is a major plus. • Drink + dessert pairing: The taro smoothie was a nice treat; good to have a well-done non-alcoholic option. • Service & hospitality: While staff was minimal, the service was nevertheless professional and courteous, which enhances the whole experience. ⸻ Areas for minor improvement • As noted, the staffing seemed minimal; at peak times this could impact speed of service or table attention. • If you prefer more elaborate service (multiple servers, frequent check-ins, table-side attention), this may not be quite a luxury-style restaurant—more of a quality casual spot. • While vegetables were ample, if you’re extremely strict vegetarian or vegan you may want to check every dish for discreet ingredients (Thai kitchens often use fish sauce, etc) to be completely safe. ⸻ Summary & recommendation Overall, we’d rate our experience at Nine & Night Thai Cuisine as very good. For anyone looking for quality Thai food in Buffalo, especially vegetarians or those who appreciate generous vegetable content and good service in a calm environment, this place is a strong option. I’d give it around 4.5 out of 5 stars in our personal scale. If I were to sum it up in a short line: “Delicious Thai cuisine, generous veggies, refreshing drinks and friendly service – a very dependable choice for a relaxed and flavourful meal.”

That accommodated our party of 20. EVERYONE's food looked amazing! I ONLY ordered an appetizer because I was set to leave a lot earlier than everyone else. I was a bit disappointed that they held the appetizer to the point that it was cool to the touch. It would have been ok except that I'm\ Shrimp Tempura and fried food is best enjoyed hot. I asked for a container to take home to warm it up myself as opposed to asking them to warm it up here. Not sure if they would have as I heard that's against Department of Health rules. My daughter let me try get Penang Curry & Crab Rangoon which was the right temperature & delicious! I'm hoping to come back when it's a smaller party to hopefully enjoy warm/hot food!

The food was amazing and fresh. My noodle soup was delicious. Parking wasn’t a hassle for me, but it could be during peak hours. The food took a little while to come out due to them being short-staffed. The atmosphere was great. I believe they just moved here, and with time, they will likely renovate.

Wow, very impressive! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served by a friendly staff. We tried the Fried Ma Ma Noodle and the Fried Ramen Coconut Noodle—both were excellent choices.

Yummy and quick dinner with big portions. The tea leaf salad didn't have as much veggie as I hoped but it's good and refreshing. The pad see ew stir fry was yummy and soup had lots of veg. I'd recommend for families or a quick meal. Service was great too with a warm cozy vibe.

It was our last meal in the Buffalo/Niagara area and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the fried dumplings and fried spring rolls for the kids. Solid, nothing social but crispy and the kids enjoyed it. My son had a mango smoothie unfortunately it was the powder stuff. As far as the food goes first dish was the Tom yum shrimp and the flavor was good and packed with a lot of shrimp. We had the pad see ew shrimp and it was too much tomato flavor, was not what I was used to but still solid. They use very wide noodles here. We also had the beef salad, had lots of beef! And finally the crab fried rice. They use a mixture of crab and imitation crab. The flavor is superb and by far our favorite dish. The restaurant is huge and spacious. The service was really good as well!

Enjoyed our takeout meal from here, but didn't think it was anything exceptional. We ordered Thai Tom Yum soup (Tom Yam paste, tomato, mushrooms, green onions, lemongrass and fish sauce) which had enough mushrooms, but non-detectable tomatoes. Lemongrass is a favorite of ours, and this could have used more. We also ordered the vegetable stir fry (broccoli, carrot, cabbage, green beans, zucchini, red pepper and sauces) with tofu. The veggies were cooked perfectly, and were plentiful.

A last minute decision to pick up food from here when we were downtown at a sporting event at Buffalo State. It was a great decision. We took our food home to eat and were pleased at the portion sizes of the food and how wonderful everything tasted. I will definitely order again or maybe dine in next time.

Messed up orders repeatedly. Neglects dietary restrictions. Fresh spring roll tasted like soapy cleaning spray. Terrible service. Both issues were respectfully brought up to the cashier on different occasions, and both were recognized and rudely dismissed. No apology, no effort at all to make things right or check on the other soiled food.

Yelpers seem to love Nine and Night Thai Cuisine. Once part of the beloved West Side Bazaar on Grant Street, which burned down a few years ago. I remember having and enjoying their Thai Beef Salad back then. Now, the restaurant has its own location in the Black Rock neighborhood. It wasn't my first choice for going out on Monday late afternoon. It turned out that most of the restaurants which I wanted to visit were closed on Monday or not for lunch. A surprising discovery. The restaurant is big and spacious, opposite from their previous location. With a limited number of tables and a sparsely decorated interior, it felt empty and cold. Actually, the temperature inside was satisfactory from the beginning. At the end of our stay, someone decided to lower the thermostat, really? It's winter! Overall, I was hoping for a more pleasant dining experience. I needed more than just food this time :). Regarding the food, my two companions strongly wanted to share all of the dishes we ordered. Eventually I agreed to play along. You have to understand, I just wanted my Shrimp Pad Thai to be all for me. That's all :). Then I thought the extra plates were too small. We had to be very precise when putting food on. There was a mess anyway. We tried. In the end, my choice of Shrimp Pad Thai was way too sweet and not my favorite. We liked the Pad See Ew the most. The Tom Yam fried rice was rather boring and nothing special. Besides, in my opinion the pork wasn't tasty. Papaya Salad and Red Curry Soup were both good. The Crab Rangoon? It wasn't my choice, and I don't understand why this is even on the menu ;). The Mango Sticky Rice would be better if it was served freshly made. I remember having it warm in the past. This time it was a cold brick of sticky rice covered with mango and some sweet coconut sauce. Still tasty. We had a server who took care of us to some point. After all our food was delivered, she disappeared. We asked for a bill and paid at the counter.

I came here last night with my friend and we had a really nice time. We were seated immediately and were taken care of shortly after that. The only person we saw was the front of house staff member who was also our waitress. She came over infrequently, but that's probably because she was doing everything else, possibly even doing food prep in the back. They had a tiny gluten free menu, but fortunately, the fried rice I wanted was on there. I asked for 1 degree spice (I can't handle heat) and the rice with chicken was delicious, though unfortunately lacking a sauce because the ones that came with the rice must've had gluten. Bummer! Still very yummy, though. The ambiance here is fascinating. The dining area is bright, open, and a great spot for people watching it that's something that you find amusing. Eventually, our waitress came back and took our plates and money. She was pleasant the entire time we were there, despite how stressed she must have been. Very commendable, at least in my mind. I'd love to come back here someday and try this menu out more. It had comparable prices to most Thai places and I definitely saw some other things I wanted to try another time.

Food was amazing !!! I definitely would recommend and I can't wait to come back. The service was fast and easy. The restaurant was very clean and wide open. I hope more people come here to try it because I would hate to see it go anywhere.

I had been here once before and it was good. Showed up last night at 7:45 and they wouldn't seat us because he closes at eight. I told him that he'll never make it if they close so early and open so late and just walked out. Uneducated people that don't realize they're closing at 8 PM is ridiculous and not seating at 7:45 PM is more ridiculous.

i was so happy to see this restaurant moved out of the west side bazaar and into a storefront. same good stuff, now with more drink options! service was great, prices are a steal, and it's a fun place to go in a good neighborhood. i will definitely be coming back

The food at Nine and Night Thai is delicious. The staff warm and friendly and the their service was professional. I recommend!

Yup! I'm in full agreement with my fellow Yelpers. Great food, pleasant surroundings, friendly and helpful staff. And it's just a short bus ride from my house on #32 Amherst bus, but you can take #3 Grant and walk a short distance from Grant and Amherst St.

First thing I notice looking at the menu is that all of the dishes have the same sauces in them, same veggies, etc. just different hints or flavor (pineapple, basil, coconut, etc.) Fried Chicken dumplings 9/10 Deep fried, not pan fried. Really good, no complaints. Crispy chicken spring roll 10/10 Delicious, no complaints. Fried tempura shrimp 8/10 Tastes mostly like breading. I can't really taste the shrimp at all. Thai fried rice, mild, with chicken 10/10 Delicious. Chicken was good too, tender and soft. No heat. The rice also isn't super wet or saucy, it was on the dryer side. Would definitely eat this again! Thai fried rice, medium, with beef 7/10 Also delicious but the amount of heat was a little more than a medium, the spiciness builds as you keep eating it. Beef was ok, sliced thin, little overcooked and not super flavorful. Asked for some peanut sauce on the side, pretty sure they forgot to see if they even had any. Thai Basil fried rice 9/10 Not bad, again rice isn't saucy, the basil flavor came in towards the end of the bite, but also not super basil-y either. Fried udon noodles, no spice, with chicken 6/10 I have determined that I do not like udon noodles, so my rating probably isn't fair. The noodles are thick and gummy, and I don't like that. It's like biting into a gummy worm. The flavor of the dish was good though, saucy, and the chicken was not bad. The chicken was sliced thin, the thicker pieces were good, the thinner pieces were just a tad overcooked but not much.

I ordered twice this week. This food is really good so far. I had Thai food in Sacremento and this doesn't taste exactly the same but it's a close runner up. I suppose the food out there taste a little different/ better because they have more access to authentic ingredients. Idk but I've had the pad see ew three times once with chicken, with beef and once with tofu. I personally don't need a protein but my Thai friend told me to try them this way. It's delicious without a protein but I liked the tofu the best. I order the free curry soup with beef and chicken and hot. Baaaabbbbyyyy the heat was spicy. I had to put more coconut milk in it. The spiciness seemed like it over powered the coconut flavor . I had the chicken spring rolls they're were nice and crispy on the outside with soft flavorful ingredients inside. I'll definitely order them again they are good without the sauce. I ll come back with the name of the other dish.

My FAVORITE Thai spot, hands down. This is literally my 5th year obsessing over this spot. The owner knows me by name when I call atp. My go to dish is the Pad Ka Pow EXTRA spicy with extra sauce. It never disappoints. I typically get beef or chicken but I've even had the shrimp too! I'm a full circle fanatic. I absolutely love that with this new location he's open M-F. This is the one spot I know will consistently have the same taste for the food every single time.

Complaining about a restaurant that closes at 8pm, when you arrive 15 minutes prior is ridiculous. I am a frequent customer to this restaurant and absolutely love the food, service, and overall atmosphere! In fact, I chose this restaurant for our three year Anniversary!

By far the best Thai food in the city. Delicious, good sized portions, reasonably priced. Highlights are the pad see ew, Thai iced tea and the mango sticky rice. I was devastated when they closed down after the fire in the West Side Bazaar and so happy to see them in their new location in Black Rock.

Pad woo Sen salad with seafood and it's spicy and so delicious I am craving for that kind of delicious food The space is spacious and the price is affordable and this place will be my favourite spot.

Their pick-up food has been fresh, hot, authentic Asian. Not everyone's cup of chai, but we love it.

Best Pad Thai in Buffalo. Pleasant, attentive wait staff . Nicely renovated space. Will definitely go again

Friend brought me in.. since I love Thai food. And the menu isn't that big BUT let me tell you the favor is all there!! I love the house made crab crab Ragu! It was flavored and great filling. The green curry is enough for two ppl and it was very taste and fresh. I enjoyed it all. For boba I had the avocado tea . The flavor was on point and one of my best tasting avocado boba. The ambience is rustic. With some nice artwork on the walls.

On a bike ride with friends, we stopped here for lunch. We were greeted warmly. The dining room is comfortable and good for groups or single diners. The food was plentiful! We had three different fried rice dishes and one noodle dish, and each one was excellent. I'd hoped to bring home leftovers, but My basil fried rice (medium spicy) was so tasty I couldn't stop eating. We all agreed we'd return.

Amazing food, so delicious, and the nicest owner! This place used to be in the West Side Bazaar, and happily they have re-opened in a new location. Go check them out! Highly recommend!

Not sure what I missed, but I was looking forward to trying this place and brought my extended family. Service was pleasant, but not great. No refills on water or gathering of dirty plates. People who ordered pho seemed content, but my penang curry was the most watery and tasteless that I've ever had. More like bland soup with a tiny handful of rice on the side. Hope you have better luck!

This place is very appealing. The menu is easily visible on a large chalkboard when you enter, and it's easy to read. The words are neatly printed without the usual messiness that results from erasures. The walls are a soothing pale teal color sporting delicate brown tree branches and tiny white lights. There is plenty of room as the space is not crammed with tables and chairs. It's also nice and clean. I'm pretty careful about the amount of spiciness in my food, however, the rest of my family loves it. So, I ask for little spice and, I actually got that today. My dish was delicious, and my mouth wasn't set on fire. I had the fried Mama noodles with chicken and veggies. My friends made other selections that they enjoyed as well. I was so happy to see that the vegetables in my dish were nice and fresh with a nice crunch to them (not soggy). The crispy spring rolls were a delicate brown-not greasy, and the Thai tea was yummy. I forgot to mention that our food was ready without a long wait. The prices were very reasonable, and the owner is welcoming and very willing to accommodate our requests. I will definitely visit Nine and night again.

Wanted to find a new Thai spot in North Buffalo and read a great review so gave it a try. The location is bright and clean with plenty of tables to eat in if you wish. We ordered Chicken fried rice, pad Thai and spring rolls. The vegetables were fresh and crisp and the flavor was excellent. My daughter loved the Watermelon bubble tea! Warning: even the level one mild had a bit of spice. The staff was friendly and the food was ready quickly. We will be back!

Htay is awesome hes a great person and awesome business, a great addition to the Blackrock neighborhood. We cone whenever we're in town. Love it ! You must go and try

I love this place, I have eaten here numerous times. I'm never disappointed. One of my favorite dishes is the black pepper beef-the flavor is immaculate. Staff is friendly, the place is always clean. Great addition to the neighborhood. I would probably order even more but every time I think about it, it's either after 8pm, or it's a Sunday which they are closed.

Ordered takeout tonight. Wow - I think it was the best Thai food I've ever had. You should eat here. Soon.
