This is a tiny spot located on busy MLK Blvd. We were dog sitting for a friend and it was within walking distance. Since then it's become our go-to Thai restaurant in Columbia City. The prices seem like they are a bit higher than other Thai restaurants in the area, but absolutely worth it. We start with the spring rolls and the pot stickers. Both come in a good quantity. From there, garlic lovers delight is our main go-to. We usually try to mix it up and try other things in every order. We had the green curry recently and loved it. I feel like Chandala is different because their ingredients seem fresher. The vegetables all have great color and texture. In around 10 orders we've never been disappointed.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Columbia City! Spice Room is beautiful, but really tones down the spice level to appease the masses. Bua 9 brings the heat, but doesn't exactly bring the date night ambience, if you know what I mean! Cozy, family-run and relaxing. When I ask for some heat in my curry, they definitely bring the heat! Best yellow curry that I've had in awhile. This isn't haute cuisine, but it's delicious, simple Thai food in a nicely-decorated space. They also have a small selection of decently-priced beer and wine. I can't remember what I paid for my wine, but it was definitely below $10! If you live in the area, this would make a nice date night!
