This is probably the best Thai food that we’ve ever had. The flavors were incredible and the quality was outstanding.
The staff were friendly and the price was very fair.
The soup comes VERY hot, so be careful to let it cool before you have some.

Great spot for lunch!
Generous portions and varied menu for lunch (11-2:30).
Pad Thai was tasty but what it blew my mind was the sticky rice dessert. Please! Give it a try
Very authentic flavors

Decent Thai restaurant with good service. Thai 99 duck was a little on the sweet side but the duck was cooked perfectly. Everything was good and the atmosphere is nice, just not amazing.

Great service, good food. My family and I had an enjoyable meal at the Thai ’99 restaurant while Christmas shopping. This was one of my kids first experiences at a Thai restaurant where they ordered something more than chicken satays or basic appetizers to munch. I love Drunken Noodles and they tasted just fine but the heat wasn’t there and I asked for hot…might need to risk it and go for Thai hot next time. My wife order either the Crispy Duck or the Thai ’99 Duck…whichever one it was, it was awesome. Super tasty and crispy with a wonderful sauce. My daughter went for some basic Egg Noodles, which suited her just fine. My son went for the Shrimp Mango but was disappointed but it really is his misunderstanding of to expect…he loves shrimp and mango but did not understand how it would get mixed together in a dish. I tasted it and it was just fine but definitely a bit on the sweeter side and I prefer the heat. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice.

Thai 99 never disappoints. Take out order was ready at the time promised and all three entrees were delicious. Pad Gra Pao, yellow curry and panang curry.
The spring rolls were still crispy and delightful after a 20 minute ride home.

Pad Kraprow (Kapow, Grapow, depending on the restaurant) is probably my favorite Asian dish ever. This place serves the best I’ve ever had. I lived in Cville twenty years ago, and the original Thai ’99 was fantastic, but this is better. There’s a hint of…tartness, I guess? that makes me think they add just a bit of vinegar to the sauce. Amazing. And I like the ambience well enough. The bolts of fabric on shelves above the bar are a really inventive choice.
I’m coming back a few months after posting. Over visited Thai ’99 a number of times over the last month, and everything I’ve tried has been fantastic. But tonight, they were terribly slow, and I worry for them. Wake up, Cville, and visit before you lose a great restaurant.

The restaurant is pretty inside and has a very nice atmosphere. Although I was getting carryout, the service was absolutely absolutely excellent. They have an entire area dedicated to carryout which has utensils, sauces, and almost anything you can think of for that carryout, lol. The person who handles carryout greets you and asks you what sauces and utensils you need.
As for the food, the taste was average and a bit bland – standard stuff. Not really the flavourful tastes that we’re used to from other Thai restaurants. Also, the standard round containers that our food was in were not completely full like we are used to from other Thai restaurants. I tried to show that in the pictures; we hadn’t eaten any of the food yet; bowls were on filled to what you see in the pictures. The fresh spring rolls were definitely fresh but you must rely on sauce for flavor because there’s no seasoning in any of the ingredients, not even tge chicken that’s used (would be great if they could marinate the meat in something first).
There’s a 50/50 chance as to whether we’ll go back because: a) there are other options for Thai that we haven’t tried yet; b) we know of other Thai restaurants that we do like better than this one; and c) when convenience is key and we don’t want to drive further for Thai from somewhere else, we’d probably get food from here again.

Stopped here for lunch with my daughter. Drunken noodles and the panang curry had the right flavors. Satay and peanut sauce hit the mark as appetizers. Also ordered mango sticky rice for dessert. Rice was actually chewy, as you’d see in Thailand and other Asian countries. Worth the drive.

The food was pretty good. Red tgai curry was tasty. Chicjen was slightly fry and they could have added some more pineapple to the fried rice. But will definitely recommend. Their shrimp in blanket is very good.
