"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!"

"After waiting about 45 minutes without a call, I decided to reach out again and ask for the manager. I was informed that she was in but too busy to talk since they were just opening and preparing for lunch. Seriously? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was given the option to leave my name and number again for a callback, but I pointed out that I had already done that. Feeling frustrated, I hung up and started searching for another restaurant where we could have our meal. I called The Melting Pot (great food there, by the way) and explained my situation. They were able to accommodate our group of 22 in one of their party rooms if we arrived by 5 p.m. I promptly booked the reservation and requested an email confirmation, which they happily provided. I realize now that I should have confirmed our reservation earlier than the day of the event, but I expected better service from a restaurant like Thai Nine. While I was on the phone with The Melting Pot, I received a message from the manager at Thai Nine stating that they couldn’t find our reservation and wouldn’t be able to accommodate us. There was no apology, no suggestion to seat us separately, or offer us a different time. It was quite disappointing. My husband and I have dined at Thai Nine several times and have always enjoyed the food, but I can confidently say that they will never see us again. They truly dropped the ball on customer service."
