9thai in Powys

Amazing food here always recommended to all , been a few times now an it's always so good! Owners are lovely an the lady sure can cook fantastic! Thankyou for my vegetarian dish last night really enjoyed it ! Thankyou will be back soon!!!

Quite simply, THE BEST Thai food we've ever had. My partner and I visited yesterday evening (27/11/24), and this place blew our minds. For a rather unassuming little place, this restaurant has everything from superb service to the most BEAUTIFUL food. My first time visiting Newtown, and I can happily say 9Thai will always hold a place in my heart.

Outstanding in every sense. Highly recommend. Massaman curry has just been added to the menu and it is one of the best I have ever had.

Brilliant restaurant. Had a table 5 on a Wednesday, both the service and food were amazing.

Outstanding! By far the best dining experience I've had in Mid Wales for years! Fast and friendly service. The pork skewer starter was tender and delicious. Chicken chips are a must! The Panang curry was fresh and tasty. I wish I had visited sooner!

Amazing food,service and atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely evening.😊

Really really amazing!! Food is sooo delicious. Lovely staff and the restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing! They are also very knowledgeable about Gluten Free and most of the main courses can be GF! Best place to eat out and have a takeaway in Newtown hands down :)

10 star review for the best restaurant I know. My family have been eating here since they first opened. Such lovely owners and excellent service. The most delicious super fresh food and desserts caters to all our needs. Definitely recommend to everyone 🥰❤️

We are on holiday near Newtown again this year and returned to this super restaurant. It was even better than we remembered, the food beautiful, the service superb and the atmosphere great. Terrific value for money , just wish it was nearer to where we live. Thanks again and best wishes

This is the most amazing and authentic Thai restaurant! Gutted that we live 4 hours away and can't be a regular! Food is incredible and the staff are very friendly.

Absolutely love this treasure of a restaurant...I love their starters and the Penang curry is beautiful. Wonderful friendly service always with a smile. Eaten here about 6 times and it's been exceptional every time.

Stopped here randomly to break up an epic journey from Pembrokeshire to Leeds and feed 2 hungry children - turned out to be one of the nicest family meals we've had in ages! Really fresh, tasty food and great service.

Absolutely fabulous food, flavour was great, will definitely go there again

Excellent restaurant beautiful, delicate food, calm ambiance and lovely staff

Very nice food, clean and tidy place. Really enjoyed it.

Had a takeaway and food was very nice! We will be back next time we are in the area!

Fantastic!! The food was cooked beautifully. Great value. Good job guys. Keep it up!

Need to have separate takeaway collection point,

Had a fabulous meal here. The food was excellent and plenty of it at a very reasonable price. Be sure to ask for prik nam sauce.it is not on the menu. For those people who know there Thai food they will know what I am talking about. Can't wait to go back

This is the best restaurant in Newtown . It is spotlessly clean and has a lovely atmosphere. The staff are very kind and helpful and the food is scrumptious and beautifully fresh . I would definitely go again .

This place is a hidden gem, the ambiance is super chilled and the decor is splendid . The food we got on our early dinner was blissful, the ingredients were super fresh and the presentation and taste were of equal splendor. Highly recommend

This place was highly recommended to us by our landlady and we are extremely happy that we came to try 9Thai. The food was just exquisite and Toon (the manager) was very pleasant and helpful. She explained to us in detail the various choices on the menu and would highly recommend to anyone to visit this restaurant.

Lovely restaurant beautiful food and first class friendly service at a reasonable price.

Absloutly wonderful food.Dined there last night for the first time,and having a takeaway again tonight. Excellent food,service and price. Hope it becomes a huge success

Lovely, delicately spiced food and excellent service. Not licenced so bring your own beer/wine..

I recently dined at 9Thai and found it to be a delightful experience. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, with each dish featuring a variety of wonderful flavours, offering great value for money. The atmosphere was relaxing, with charming décor. The waitress was exceptionally polite, adding to the warm and welcoming environment. I highly recommend this place!

Really helped us out when we didn't have anywhere to eat as a large group. So accommodating. Food was excellent which was main thing as well.

Absolutely brilliant!! Amazing food, brilliant service and great atmosphere. Person serving couldn’t have done enough for us. Thank you!!

Lovely independent Thai restaurant. Would recommend the Pad Thai in particular. Fresh tasting ingredients and friendly wait staff. I will return if I'm ever in the area again ☺️.

Great food, great customer service, and the chicken was Halal which was awesome.

We had a fantastic meal for my birthday the food was delicious and the service was great

A wonderful find in Newtown. This small restaurant has a great ambience, good service and excellent food. The menu is small but the food is freshly cooked and delicious. We’ll be back!

Not usually one to leave reviews but this place felt like a gem that deserves it. Incredible and authentic atmosphere, friendly and kind service, and lastly, incredible Thai food. Singapore noodles are a must try!

Always a friendly welcome, followed by delicious tasty food. Love it here!

Excellent chicken satay with a great dipping sauce followed by a perfect Pad Kee Mao noodle dish. No licence, so take a few chilled lagers. The bill was very reasonable, our waitress friendly and helpful. Great night and will be returning.

Didn't expect to find a place in Newtown serving such DELICIOUS Thai food. We shared a red beef curry with coconut rice and a salad...every mouthful was a joy to the taste buds. Followed by raspberry brownie with matcha ice-cream...we will be back!

Great ,authentic Thai food. Lovely calm atmosphere.

Thanks for making the effort to serve really good food. Brilliant. Thanks.

Excellent service always. Amazing food,each and every time we visit. Highly recommend a visit.

Excellent food and great service, fresh food cooked to a high standard I would love to go back.

Everything is amazing, nice and relaxing seating areas, very good food and services. Definitely recommended!!

We were absolutely blown away by this place. The food was incredible - fresh, full of flavour, a huge variety of ingredients and cooked to absolute perfection. The price is extremely reasonable. The service is excellent. The atmosphere with the music at just the right level for background, beautiful decor and impeccably clean, made it a fantastic dining experience all-round.

Just eaten an amazingly tasty, takeaway treat. Enjoyed every mouthful. 😋

My favourite place to eat. The food is always beautifully cooked and presented, and tastes amazing. This family run business is definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food and probably the most authentic Thai food that I've ever had outside of Thailand. I would like the portion sizes to be bigger but that's because I love the food so much. Would definitely recommend to all Thai food lovers and to anyone who hasn't tasted this fantastic food yet.

Very nice meal! Tom yum soup and cucumber salad especially recommended.

It's been a while since we were able to go here. I believe there are new owners. The decor is lovely, relaxing and intimate. We were picking up take away and the wait was very reasonable considering we walk-in and ordered. The Prawn Pad Thai was fantastic, great flavours, plenty of everything, definitely a winner. We also had some prawn starters, also amazing. And some of the best spring rolls. Service polite, friendly and quick. Highly recommend these guys.

Excellent food. The menu doesn’t list many vegetarian dishes but tofu and veg versions of most dishes are available on request. I loved the veggie pad Thai. My partner raved about the aubergine curry. The restaurant isn’t licensed but you can bring your own. Well worth a visit.

We had a fabulous meal at 9Thai on NYE 2023. A group of 4 and we all really really enjoyed our meal. All of the food was very good quality, there was plenty of it and it was all well priced. Service and restaurant ambience both really great also. We will definitely be back!

The last review on here about extortionate prices must have lost their mind.. my husband and I had just travelled from Chedder where a Tofu massaman was priced at £16 in the local Thai restaurant.. all the curries here are about £9? Anyway, we had prawn crackers, 2 starters, 3 mains and 3 soft drinks (there's no alcohol here as far as I could see) and it came to £50 which I think is a completely reasonable price. No tofu on the menu but they did have it when I asked and were very accommodating . We both enjoyed our curries and the prawn rice was amazing! If we didn't live 3 hours away we would be here every week. Also, really great service as well!

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit.

Ordered a pad thai, tom yum and the singapore noodles. the beef in the pad thai and tom yum was grey and just boiled it seemed like, chewy, low quality in general. the tom yum was literally just ginger soup. so much ginger it was overpowering, and other than the ginger had zero layers of flavour. all the vegetable at the bottom were also bland the pad thai was so so bland and tasteless, i had to pour a load of salt on it in a desperate attempt to bring out some flavour. how the hell are they charging £10 for this? they also claim to be authentic thai, but then didn't even include peanuts in their pad thai, nor dried shrimp? I don't even think they had tamarind paste in there. the singapore noodles were OK. they weren't tasteless, but they just again only tasted like the curry powder and had ZERO kick (which they're supposed to have in AUTHENTIC thai cuisine). overall I think they are having a laugh with their prices to be honest, and the rest of these 5 star reviews are from people just excited to have a local thai restaurant open. You should save your money on these extortionate prices and put everything together at home with some salt, even if you have no clue what you're doing you'll still end up with more flavour than these one dimensional tasting 'authentic' dishes. Much room for improvement.

The new owners have elevated this spot from very good to excellent.

Stunning food, fantastic service, all brilliantly priced.

Simple, fresh, affordable, very tasty and authentic Thai cuisine. A great find, stylishly minimalist decor and very pleasant and helpful service. Highly recommended. The restaurant is not licensed but the nearby Polish shop sells a great Romanian merlot, so you can bring your own.

Great Thai food at this petite street side restaurant in Newtown. Lovely authentic menu, focussed on key dishes. Great service. Delicious food.

Really good food. Spring rolls are worth the visit alone! Highly recommend

Outstanding Panang curry, the dish is full of deep, warming traditional flavour. I ordered a take away, which was cooked in a few minutes, the restaurant looks very welcoming and the staff were very friendly. It was that good I went back the next evening and had it again. Well worth a visit, I understand they don’t have an alcohol license but do allow bring your own, best to check if this has changed when you visit.

Excellent, at last a good place to go out to eat in Newtown

The food was lovely, the staff were brilliant. The total bill was a joke for the quality we received. Newtown is lucky to have a place like this, what a treat. You can substitute most of the proteins in the dishes to make an easy dozen vegan options with tofu. Can't recommend enough. As a non vegan I had the cantaloupe tea with passion fruit boba which was out of this world.

Four of us had a fantastic meal here with lovely food and great service. Would recommend without hesitation and will be back soon, thank you.

The food was perfect, fresh produce and authentic spices, highly recommend the Tomyum prawn soup and also the beef skewers. But everyone enjoyed their dishes. Little gem of a restaurant it was well worth a visit.

We went here twice on our visit to Newtown, and we will definitely be returning on our future visits! We had wonderful Thai milk tea, duck and leek spring rolls, panang chicken curry (which was lovely and mild, just like I asked for), pad Thai, and prawn crackers. Everything was delicious, the waitress was very friendly and helpful, and the food came out very quickly. The restaurant was lovely and clean and beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend for anyone to try 9 Thai!

In Newtown for a week....food was amazing...if you want good Thai food this is the place to go. We are coming back again before we go back home. Fast and friendly service 11/10 it really was that good

Not quite sure why we haven't been before, superb food at reasonable prices in a pleasantly decorated restaurant... so glad we went

Excellent tasty authentic Thai food. Excellent service. Would highly recommend a visit. You can take your own drinks too.

Had a takeaway from 9thai this evening and having been to Thailand i was sceptical as to whether it would taste the same but it exceeded my expectations 😆 I ordered a few dishes but Tom Yum soup was a favourite of mine while travelling and since coming home nothing has come close so i had to order it and I’m so glad I did, it took me right back to Thailand - absolutely delicious as was it all, would recommend 9thai 10/10

A fabulous find in Newtown. Delicious fresh Thai food in a super welcoming and relaxing environment. We were staying in Love 2 Stay Mid Wales.

Excellent Food. Really tasty, clean , fresh ingredients. So good we had the starters twice!! Squid Tempura and tempura shrimp is the best I’ve ever tasted. Excellent. Would highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Can't recommend this restaurant enough! Light and airy restaurant, lovely crockery. Friendly efficient service and amazing food. So tasty. Can't wait to return. Hidden gem. Not licensed as yet.

Absolutely delicious and authentic Thai food. The owners are very friendly and attentive, highly recommended.

Wonderful food and wonderful service. A truly authentic Thai. Highly recommended

What a great find for delicious and well prepared Thai food in Newtown. A lovely welcome from the owners ensured a great food experience in a clean and airy environment with a gentle atmosphere. Our starters of crispy squid and a plate of tasty prawns prawns were very appetising and cooked lovely. The panang curry with chicken and vegetables was delicious as was the Thai fried rice with prawns and vegetables. This is a must try restaurant and the chef will adapt any dish to your preferred taste or ingredients. A very pleasing and wonderful dining experience and it has certainly become one of our regular and favourite port of call. Thank you both so much.

Our fourth visit to 9thai, since the new owners took over and it didn't disappoint! Delicious food as usual. I don't think everyone locally is aware, that it's actually under new management and that they've kept the name! A huge improvement on the previous owners...

Visited here last night with friends, what a fab little place the food was perfectly cooked and delicious, friendly and efficient service as well. The interior is quite basic but you can tell that they are upgrading the place, also they are not licensed for alcohol as yet so take your own 👍🏻 this is definitely worth a visit if you are in Newtown 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Came to Wales for a long weekend holiday, was getting pretty sick of the usual British food so decided to try this place and wow, what a little gem, the food was fresh, full of flavour and made me feel like I'd actually injested something wholesome. And to top it off the staff were super sweet. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

A must try thai restaurant. They serve aunthentic thai food, the flavours and spices are spot on. Highly recommend this place, reasonable price.

Friendly service and top quality delicious Thai food, a real gem. Happy to find this place, will definitely be back next time we are passing through Newtown.

Newtown you have gem!!! Wonderful food, cooked to order, beautifully fresh and delicious - simple place, with friendly owners cooking and serving you for a proper personal touch I really recommend this place for a gorgeous informal dinner - it's just brilliant

Visited here and all the food was cooked fresh and had lots of authentic flavours!

A humble little Thai Restaurant. Fresh and very tasty food at a very good price. Very rare these days!

Lovely dinner here after a long day of driving. All dishes were perfectly prepared and very tasty. Moreish noodles, fragrant curry! The strawberry cheesecake was divine. We also liked the ukulele playlist a lot. :D

Really great food. Highly recommend

A delicious meal of authentic Thai food- reasonably price and great service. I would highly recommend the Jungle Curry!

We hadn't eaten Thai food in while so thought we would have a early dinner. My partner had spring rolls I had chicken satay the sweet chilli dip was delicious as was the satay sauce. We had Thai green curry for main and sweet sour...

Lovely food and great service. Will definitely be returning.

Food was absolutely delicious, we had the shared starter, pad Thais and curry! Bring your own alcohol and plenty of choices for drinks like soft drinks and bubble tea. Decor nice inside but some music would be nice. Lovely evening and service, thank you!

Visited a few months ago after moving to the area. What a fantastic thai! Food is amazing and authentic! We were the only dining in guests on the date we visited and the decor is simple yet clean and tidy. This place is all about the food! Easily cater for vegetarians too. Husband and wife run, wife is the chef and husband is front of house. Attentive and very welcoming. This is one of my favourites locally already. Definitely recommend!

Fabulous meal here tonight full of flavour authentic cuisine, absolutely amazing a must if your in the area we will be back very soon .

Very nice food 😋 great prices + brilliant service. Got no alcohol licence we took our own drinks. Glasses are provided can't wait to go again.

Amazing Thai food! Highly recommend

Flavour profiles were intense and mouth-watering, fantastic food - very happy with my first experience here, I will be back!

Fantastic food best thia iv had usually get the noodles stir-fry great selection of veggie options something for everyone, highly recommended to all, lovely owners as well nothing is to much trouble thankyou for all you do!be back soon!

We visited on the spur of the moment for lunch. The restaurant is simply furnished , clean and friendly. My husband had Beef Pad Thai which he said was delicious . I had Prawn Thai green curry and egg fried rice and that too was...

Excellent food and friendly service

Wow, yes just yes, worth a decent detour to visit.. accurate flavours combined skillfully.. and some great bubble teas too.. Will become a regular here.

I’m disappointed with the portion size. The food is poor quality as a takeout however when dinning in its 10/10. I would not recommend this place sorely based on the price and portions.

Delicious freshly cooked authentic Thai food with friendly service - highly recommended!

Had a lovely meal at 9 Thai last night. It was quiet as it was a very warm tuesday night but were made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious. We have visited Thailand before and the food at 9 Thai tasted very authentic. So glad to found a local good Thai restaurant, we will be back!
