Spicy 9 Sushi Bar Asian Restaurant

Spicy 9 was absolutely AMAZING! The buy one get one sushi rolls really impressed us. Gabriel provided excellent service as our server, giving us information on specials and great options to choose from. The manager was also very friendly and welcoming. If you're in Chapel Hill, you must visit this place! We tried the sushi, green curry bowl, a sake bomb, and a margarita.

Came here with family over the holiday weekend, and had no wait time. All 9 of us were sat immediately served. The staff was very friendly the menu had plenty of options. Some members of my family don't like sushi, so they were able to order non-seafood items that they were happy with. I ordered a cocktail found it to be very watered down, so I wouldn't come here for drinks. The food was tasty and there are vegan options!

The food and service at this restaurant are excellent. It is my son's favorite place to eat. He frequently orders several sushi rolls with his neighbors in his apartment building and has them delivered. Although I am not a fan of sushi, he loves it and I enjoyed my hibachi steak. The soup and egg rolls were also delicious. I will definitely return on my next visit to see him.

I come here every Wednesday so I felt like it was finally time to review. Food is always good and well prepared, including the sushi we’ve tried, the noodles, the ramen, the poke bowls, etc. I am a big fan of their miso soup. Today I got the drunken noodles with a side of fried rice and white sauce, and my boyfriend got the Yummy yummy roll and the Rainbow roll. Everything was very enjoyable. Sometimes the restaurant can get very busy and wait time is sacrificed for quality of service. I’ve worked in the restaurant business before. Im thankful they try their best to maintain good customer service. They did bring me and my boyfriends food out 10 minutes apart, but my food was still hot by the time his came so it wasn’t too much of a big deal. It’s also important to talk about the one time that my boyfriend and I came here on a Wednesday and we were sat but not served at all. I think that’s an outlier with their service but people should be aware that it happened to me once. I don’t think it happens often or it will happen again, as the other servers we’ve had have given us as much attention as they could. Would still recommend coming here to eat with a friend or family. Just remember it’s in a college town so it can get loud and busy.

Ordered a massaman curry for $12, it was $18.55 with delivery fees and tip. Delivery guy was a treat. The massaman curry was nice and creamy without using dairy which I love, had a savory and slightly sweet flavor from the sweet potato and loved the crunch of the cashews. My only complaint is that it wasn’t spicy at all and they gave me a pretty small portion which wasn’t worth it for the price. Especially with the rice— they gave me a MINUSCULE amount of rice which really sucks because I’m Asian and we’re not allowed rice cookers in the dorm so I’m really deprived of rice. I also was bummed to find it wasn’t even a little spicy despite asking for extra spice.
