The Nine Thai, Lake Mary

I tried this new Thai place on Saturday at lunch. It is in the strip mall on the opposite side of 46A from the Publix at International Parkway. It was ok. I had the $14 Tom Zaab Pork Feet soup and the $17 chicken in yellow curry. It was a first on the soup. Seemed like the same sour broth with one quartered mushroom and some scallions with mostly the bones, fat and skin of pigs feet. It's funny how there seems to be a point when you stew things when they become tender. This did not reach that point. What meat there was was tough. Didn't help the broth either. The rice with the curry was mushy. The flavor was ok. The chicken was ok. The potatoes were undercooked. I will give them some rope because I was the first one there and it was a to go order. The rest of the menu was familiar. A few rare ones. Everything was pricey. $12+ apps and $25+ mains. Things like satay (just learned that means speared), larb fried rice. Shrimp, beef, pork, chicken, tofu. I think there was a fish. Maybe gyoza? $14 lunch special on weekdays. Big room. Modern. Bar on right. Metallic. White. Open 11:30 - 3:30 and then 4:30 to close on weekdays. No break on weekends. They just opened a week ago after a year and a half build. They have another in Ellicott City, MD. Not a destination spot.
