The food here is awesome. I just wish that when you ask for extra sauce that you would get it. Put it on the Menu I'd be glad to pay For it. Crispy chicken with fried rice is awesome so is sticky rice with mango!

I came down with a cold this week and ordered their Tom yum noodle soup with chicken instead of seafood. Made me feel so much better. Was so delicious I almost cried.

There is no option of giving a minus star other wise I will give a minus 4 stars. I will never get food from this restaurant again. I ordered a stir fry squid with basil. What I got was an ugly mess of old small pieces of squid, near raw string bean, and other vegetables. It looks more like an already eaten soup more than a stir fry.

I am a Thai and usually I will give most Thai restaurants a benefit of the doubts that they americanized the foods to please American customers, meaning I already lower the standard of the foods that I expected to get. But I can't even give them that credit. This is OH and there aren't that many Thai restaurants in the area, if this is VA this restaurant will not make it.

This was my first time trying a Thai food and I can say I loved it. They have a whole bunch of vegan/vegetarian options which is really great. I would definitely come back again, the portion size was amazing for the price we pay!

Hidden gem! Food is a solid five stars. Ordered several things, all delicious. Their curry is probably the best!

I am blown away by how delicious everything I tried here was. You can tell it was freshly prepared and everything was hot and made to order. I couldn't resist trying a little bit of everything and can't wait to go back and try more. The service was friendly and the server was on the ball for refills, takeout containers, and explaining what everything on the menu was and how hot it would be.
The dining room was larger than I thought it would be, with several seating options.
I am mad at myself for taking so long to try this spot!

Amazing cuisine. I’ve actually never had Thai food before, matter of fact I’ve hardly experienced Asian food in general. My relative who is a regular brought me here and the sweet chili fried rice was so damn good. Apparently they have levels of spice, and I will be returning soon to try the 3/5 this time. Portions and prices are equalizing and the seating area is very clean, comforting; dishes are served fast and above all, FRESH.

My favorite local Thai restaurant. The noodles and spice level are excellent. Also love the duck fried rice. Staff was extremely friendly when I came to pick up my take out. It was a nice surprise because I usually use a delivery service. Best Thai food in town!

One of the best. Dine is great, also almost as good as Thai Orchid that is now also dine in now.

This place should have a line out the door to eat here. Honestly, some of the best food (Thai or otherwise) I have had (speaking as a 300 pound man). It would not surprise me if, one day, it is considered easier to escape from Alcatraz back in the day than to get an open table here.

I started with the spring rolls which were fresh and piping hot. The insides were perfectly peppered and the chili sauce served to complement well. For my main dish, I had the crispy chicken fried rice.where to start with this one?

The chicken itself was juicy, cut-with-a-spoon-tender, salted perfectly, and with a nice, crisp breading that is fried to perfection. If Colonel Sanders were alive today, you would be getting KFC served a la Thai 999 Express.

Now, for the rice itself. I ordered a level 4, and was warned it might be a bit much. I did get a little bead or two of sweat, but it wasn't overpowering. Mind you, I enjoy spicy foods and have built a tolerance. Your mileage may vary. As far as the taste quality of the rice, this is where Thai 999 Express earned its wings with me. I love fried rice, and I (perhaps unfairly) judge an Asian restaurant's quality by their fried rice. Let's be honest, if a restaurant can't make good fried rice, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the menu? Thai 999 Express has, hands down, the absolute best fried rice I have ever had.

If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and eat here. You're welcome.

Fantastic food: fresh, delicious, colorful. The service was outstanding. I noticed a lot of regulars stop in, and the host/server/owner greeted everyone by name. Definitely worth coming back to again and again. Also, loved that they have a vegan menu and make sure to ask about allergies and dietary restrictions.

Everything was delicious and they were so friendly and accommodating. I had the red curry noodles with chicken. It was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of kick. This is all family made and you can tell in the richness and quality of food. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were big! I will visit anytime I am in the area.

Such a nice lunch! We arrived with a group of 7 and were seated immediately. The server was very kind and personable, and the food was delicious. Our newborn son was in a bad mood and was a little loud, but the server was very understanding and even offered to refill his sippy cup for him!

First time trying Thai 999 and it is the best thai food I've had in the area. I ordered the peanut noodles which were very flavorful and perfectly spicy. My husband got the pad thai which was delicious as well. The portions were big enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. The staff was very friendly and we will definitely be going back soon to try more!

First time there, ordered takeout. Got spring rolls and peanut noodles with shrimp. Excellent taste and good portion sizes for the price. The few moments I spent with the staff there were pleasant - they were very friendly.

Overall, I was very impressed and will certainly be a return customer. Well worth the drive from Roaming Shores to get their food.
