Finally! An actual Asian fusion concept that works. The influences here span Asia (and the globe): Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Europe. Though the menu is rather limited, each dish packs so many flavors and textures that I'm quite pleased to go back and try everything.
Nine05 also has a great selection of Asian beers by the bottle, and one beer from Brazil (why? I'm not quite sure).
Matt Carter and crew did an excellent job preserving the historic elements of this bungalow and combining them with sleek modernity that stands out in this neighborhood.
My two complaints: It's hot as hell in there. I think the kitchen ventilation isn't working properly yet. I've gone twice and it's been a sauna both times. Also, they don't have a full liquor license, and it's sorely missing some great Asian-inspired cocktails.
