Grilled chicken, sticky rice, and papaya salad are dishes that never get old. Although there are many restaurants in the city today, it is difficult to find a delicious restaurant that satisfies your taste buds. As an Isan native who loves papaya salad with fermented fish sauce and grilled free-range chicken, I have been searching for a restaurant that I like. The restaurant that I have found and enjoyed many times, and the quality of the food remains the same, is Rama 9 Grilled Chicken, which is probably a regular restaurant for many people. The special thing about this review is that I had the opportunity to talk to Chef Chayanont Tohsahkul, or Top, the owner's son, who graduated in culinary arts from Le Cordon Bleu. Top told me that Rama 9 Grilled Chicken has been open for over 20 years, since the Tom Yum Kung crisis. Before that, the family was in the construction materials business, which was hit quite hard. But his father was able to adapt quickly. He is originally from Udon Thani and loves grilled free-range chicken from Khao Suan Kwang. So he thought that if he brought it to Bangkok, it would sell well. The intention was to open a small shop, grilling under a tree on Rama 9 Road, Soi 39. He thought that selling at a low price would attract customers, mainly office workers and taxi drivers.
The clientele is diverse, with many customers arriving in luxury cars. The delicious and authentic flavors have led to word-of-mouth recommendations, contributing to the restaurant's growth. Over the past 20 years, the restaurant has refined its chicken grilling recipe, resulting in a unique formula. We use an imported American grill to ensure the chicken is cooked evenly throughout, with crispy skin and an appealing color. I studied culinary arts to oversee and improve the restaurant's food quality. Currently, we offer a wide range of dishes, including Isaan cuisine (e.g., papaya salad, grilled chicken, grilled pork neck, grilled fish) and Vietnamese cuisine (e.g., nem nuong, fried spring rolls, shrimp wrapped in sugarcane). We also offer a variety of delicious desserts that have been well-received by customers. To provide excellent customer service, we currently employ nearly 100 staff members.
The key strengths of Phra Ram 9 Grilled Chicken are its consistently delicious food and fast service. Even when faced with a large influx of customers, the restaurant can handle the demand efficiently. During festivals, the restaurant remains open as usual, attracting a large number of patrons who trust its consistently high quality and prompt service. Khun Top, the owner, emphasizes that he personally oversees the restaurant's operations daily, ensuring that the service standards are maintained. Kin Kaem Tui Talui Tiew, a frequent customer, visits the restaurant regularly and enjoys their signature dishes, including grilled free-range chicken, grilled pork neck, and spicy papaya salad with fermented fish sauce.

The "น้ำจิ้มไก่" at Rama 9's Kai Yang restaurant is a spicy jaew sauce, with a sweet dipping sauce option available to suit individual preferences. Customers can refill their dipping sauce at their table, allowing them to enjoy as much as they desire. The "น้ำจิ้ม" that I personally enjoy the most is the "น้ำจิ้มคอหมูย่าง," which is incredibly flavorful and spicy. Sometimes, I even order it to dip my grilled chicken in, enhancing the taste to my liking.
Other recommended dishes include spicy pork bone soup, which is delicious because they use carefully selected pork bones. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the chewy pork bones with meat and fat are a real treat. Another must-try dish is grilled pork neck with spicy dipping sauce.
Rama 9 Grilled Chicken Restaurant is still known for its Vietnamese food. The recommended menu is Nem Nuong, the dipping sauce is delicious, using good quality peanuts, coarsely pounded, sprinkled with fried spring rolls. The dough is the restaurant's style, thin and crispy. They are made fresh every day. When I eat it, I always eat 1 plate by myself. If the people at the table want to eat it, they should order it separately. Haha, because this menu, I eat it with bulging cheeks. I like it the most.
The papaya salad with fermented fish sauce is incredibly flavorful, thanks to the restaurant's unique recipe and clean ingredients. Customers can customize the spiciness level to their preference. The Thai papaya salad with winged beans is equally delicious, offering a delightful combination of flavors. Another highly recommended dish is the grilled shrimp with salt. The restaurant uses export-grade shrimp, ensuring freshness and a satisfying crunch. The menu offers a wide variety of options to cater to all tastes. Notably, the open kitchen allows customers to witness the meticulous preparation of their food, guaranteeing freshness, care, and cleanliness.
After a savory meal, a sweet treat is a must, or else the refined folks will tease... As you enter the restaurant, you'll see the staff busily making fresh and crispy gold rolls. It's a joy to watch them work, especially during lunch and dinner hours when customers are plentiful. They roll so quickly that they can barely keep up with the demand. It gives you the feeling of a famous restaurant in a tourist spot. On the other side, there are baked goods that the restaurant has ordered from a delicious supplier, ready to serve to every customer. As for the restaurant's signature drink, we recommend the honey and lime soda. Made with real honey and fresh limes, it has a sweet and fragrant aroma that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied.
