We visited Nine Tastes in Harvard Square for dinner with a group of four. It was our first time at the restaurant, and while we really appreciated the warm and attentive service—the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout the evening—the food, unfortunately, didn’t quite live up to expectations. The Tom Kha soup arrived with fresh ingredients, but its overly sweet broth threw the balance off. Similarly, the Nine Tastes Sampler offered a decent variety, but the inclusion of French fries felt like a filler—out of place and unnecessary in what should be a more authentic Thai appetizer selection. For mains, the shrimp Pad Thai also leaned far too sweet, which overshadowed the rest of the dish. The chicken krapow was served in a generous portion, but again, the flavor profile lacked balance—missing the punch and complexity the dish is known for. The Panang curry rounded things out with basic, somewhat one-note flavors that felt more rushed than refined. Overall, while we appreciated the hospitality and had a pleasant evening catching up, the food left something to be desired. There’s potential here, but the kitchen could benefit from dialing back the sweetness and paying closer attention to balance and authenticity.

Nine Tastes is amazing. We were three rowdy college guys - we had a fantastic female server, I can’t recall their name, but she was so kind. Always checking in on us, making sure we were satisfied with our meal (and always refilling our water glasses). Truly enjoyed it and always look forward to having this dining experience.

I had a fantastic meal at Nine Tastes in Cambridge, Massachusetts! The Crispy Chicken Pad Thai was absolutely delicious—perfectly crispy chicken paired with flavorful noodles, all tossed in their special sauce for just $15.95. The portion was generous, and the balance of flavors was spot on. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere had a cozy, welcoming vibe that made the dining experience even better. I’d highly recommend Nine Tastes to anyone craving authentic Thai food with a creative twist!

Our first visit to Nine Tastes. Their large menu offers classic Thai favorites including noodle and rice dishes, as well as several vegetarian options. I had the Nine Tastes Pad Thai, a delicious blend of rice noodles stir fried with baby shrimps (surprisingly plentiful!), chicken, egg, bean sprouts and scallions, topped with crushed peanuts. Nine Tastes' special sauce made this dish especially delicious. My husband had the yellow curry and loved it. We shared an appetizer of tofu triangles, since our first choice of Thai spring rolls was not available. The triangles were crunchy and delicious. Nine Tastes has an easy street-level entrance; one of the dining rooms is at the same level and another is a few steps down. Restrooms are a couple of steps up. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We will be back!

We had the usual Thai dishes — spring rolls, pad thai, and pad see ew — and they were good. The service was prompt, efficient and friendly. We will return.
