Kings 9 Thai Cuisine in Corona is hands-down our new favorite spot for authentic Thai! 5 stars all the way.
The food was incredible: Started with tender Chicken Satay and crunchy Fried Wontons, then dove into the soul-warming Thai Noodle Soup, spicy and creamy Beef Green Curry (with perfectly cooked rice on the side), and the amazing Crab Fried Rice that was full of fresh crab and bold flavors. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and spot-on authentic.
Service was super friendly, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the portions are huge for the price. Great job to the team – this hidden gem deserves all the love! Can’t wait to return. If you’re in Corona, you have to try it!

On a rainy day , I found myself craving something warm and comforting specifically Thai boat noodles. Kings 9 Thai Cuisine delivered exactly what I needed and more. Their boat noodle soup was incredibly flavorful, crafted with ground chicken and shrimp, bean sprouts, Chinese broccoli, and a rich chicken-based broth. What really stood out was the depth of flavor without relying on liver, which many traditional versions include. For anyone who loves boat noodles or is curious to try them, this bowl is a must.
A great way to judge a Thai restaurant is by its papaya salad, and Kings 9 passed the test immediately. They give you an option to choose between Thai style and Lao style. Naturally, I went with the Lao version, known for being more pungent, savory, and umami-forward. It did not disappoint. Paired with sticky rice, it was absolute perfection. This is officially my new go-to spot for papaya salad.
Another standout was the Curry Puff Chicken appetizer. Imagine a golden, flaky puff pastry filled with potato, carrot, Indian-style curry, and tender chicken. It’s served with a refreshing cucumber dipping sauce that ties everything together beautifully. This dish alone is worth a visit.
Between the flavorful dishes, stellar service, and warm, inviting ambiance, Kings 9 Thai Cuisine has earned its place as one of the best Thai restaurants in Corona! If you haven’t been there yet you got to check it out!

New ownership, not the same. Went once and never returned.

Nothing but the best! Every time we arrive we are greeted as if we were family. The service is excellent and the food is the best I have had in the Riverside County. Three Flavored Fish is a favorite of mine and seems to taste better every time i order it. The steamed dumplings are amazing as well as the fried ones. Wish I could eat there on a daily basis. Check it out, definitely an amazing establishment.

The hostess & chef were so nice & the food was very good. This was the best orange chicken we have had. It was extremely crispy with a bright & tangy orange sauce. They were very accommodating for people with kids. Excellent!

Delightful corner bistro with amazing and authentic food. Service was fantastic and they were able to accommodate food allergies. Made to order dishes were scrumptious. Pad Thai not too spicy. My pal’s tofu dish was practically inhaled. Thai iced tea was excellent. Don’t forget to order some mango with sticky rice for dessert. You won’t be sorry.

A hidden gem!!! We tried the Penang Curry Lunch (comes with small side salad, 2 dumplings and white rice) and dinner size Cashew Chicken, and an order of Thai Fried Rice. All dishes were cooked and seasoned to perfection. They also do takeout and call ahead/order online if you just want to pick up. But there’s several nice tables for eating inside. You order on the counter and they bring the food to you. The lady serving us was very nice and friendly. Place looks very clean. Definitely coming back here!

This review is long overdue. I literally come here once a week to pick up food for my family. The service is quick and friendly. I always order the pineapple fried rice and the chow mein. This is the only Thai Restaurant I frequent and I order extra items when my mom is in town and wants Thai food. Def one of my favorite spots.

Best Thai place in Corona. Hands down. Food is delicious. Fresh ingredients. The curries are on point with great consistency. Most plates come with rice and are large portions. I specially appreciate their duck curry, because it’s hard to find a good duck curry. My wife and I come at least once a week.
