"I recently wound up coming here two days in a row. I was up in the area for a friend's show around the corner and we stopped in after to get some food. This is a fast casual place with a similar approach as Chipotle in terms of how you can order your food, but everything is homemade and the ingredients are higher quality. You can get a plate, sandwich (2 diff sizes), or salad. They also have things like meat pies and moussaka and daily specials in terms of the meats they serve. It was a bit later (maybe 9:30pm) by the time we got there. I ordered a salad with gyro meat. The salads were huge and they were very generous with the portions of meat they put in their meals. Because it was late, the meat was a bit dry and salty but the flavors were good. I loved the spices they put on the pita bread they throw it on the grill right before they give it to you which gives it a nice crispness on the edges. All the veggies in the salad were crisp and fresh and I loved the sauces they had on the side (tzatziki and the house aioli mount olympus were my choices). The reason I came back the next day was the DESSERT CASE. They had some serious and very unique desserts and I wanted to come back and try them out. This time I wound up getting a lamb shawarma salad, which was super moist and flavorful much better than the gyro meat. For dessert, my friend and I shared a cannoli cream puff, Greek candy bar, and a piece of the salted caramel baklava cheesecake. They were so good! I'm not normally a fusion enthusiast, but the salted caramel baklava cheesecake changed my heart this was one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. My friend's favorite dessert of the three was the Greek candy bar it had a few different layers with different textures and flavors and it was also a standout. They also had baklava ice cream that I haven't tried yet. Everyone who worked here was super friendly! I will definitely be back whenever I'm in North Hollywood for that cheesecake!"

"So today is Dec. 21st, and probably one of the busiest restaurant weekends of the year. I called Thai Nine around 10:45 a.m. to confirm our 5:30 p.m. reservation for our office Christmas party (a reservation that I made on October 31st. The young lady who answered couldn 't find the reservation and told me that she would have the mgr. call me when she got it (which would be ' ANY MINUTE. ' So of course, I anxiously await the call because, as I said before, today is going to be one of the busiest restaurant weekends for the year I 'm sure our office isn 't the only one wanting to take the employees out for dinner/party just before the holiday. About 45 minutes later, still no call, so I call back and ask for the mgr. I 'm told she 's in, but she 's too busy to speak with me. They were just opening up and had to prepare for lunch. Seriously... are you kidding me? I 'm told that I can leave my name and number, and she 'll call me back, to which I replied, I already did that. So in a panic, I get off the phone and start searching for an alternate place for us to enjoy a meal. I call the Melting Pot (great food there, BTW, explain my dilemma, and I 'm told that they could get our group of 22 in one of their party rooms if we can get there by 5pm. I tell them book us, and asked for an email confirmation which I was happily provided. Ok so maybe I should have called before the DAY OF our party to confirm, but I guess I expected more from a restaurant such as Thai Nine than the jilt I got. Might I add, I rec 'd a phone message from the mgr. while I was on the phone with the Melting Pot she couldn 't find our reservation, and there was no way they could accommodate us. No apology, no 'maybe we could seat you separately, ' or 'maybe if you came in earlier or later, ' nothing. Wow customer service was definitely lacking. My husband and I have been to Thai Nine on a handful of occasions, and always enjoyed the food, but I can promise, they will NEVER see our faces in that restaurant again. Complete FAIL on their part."
