There was a total of six people in the bar so it wasn't an overload. Had to ask to get our check which ended up being wrong. Of course no one was at the bar so I had to track someone down to get the bill corrected.

Thai Time was one of the only places that wasn't fast food that was open around 9 PM. The restaurant is very small and I think most people pick up takeout from the drive-thru (Most Thai places in California are sit-down, so experiencing drive-thru Thai was very novel to me), but we dined in. We ordered a peanut-sauce chicken that came with steamed veggies and rice (Rama chicken), as well as a Singapore-style curry noodle with stir-fried celery, pepper, and carrots (Lion City noodles). They were alright--nothing really to write home about, but something that my body appreciated after days of brisket and burnt ends (lol). The chicken dish would have been extremely bland without the peanut sauce, and the curry vermicelli was on the salty side. For fast food Thai, our dinner wasn't cheap, either. I think we paid around $37-40 (including tip) for two dishes. I'm still giving this place a 4/5 because service was fast and friendly, the food was okay, and I always like to support local Asian businesses.

When we walked in we were greeted with "We close in 30 minutes". Keep in mind you order at the counter. I asked if that meant we "had to have our last bite chewed within 30 minutes" and the lady at the counter said, "yes". We were hungry so we went ahead and ordered but I should have just left. Food was mediocre at best. This is like a fast food type place basically. Thai cuisine is very good usually but this would be like calling Taco Bell a Mexican restaurant.

Our waiter was from Honduras and was happy I ordered the Honduran Tour and one of my friends ordered a Honduran beer. My meal was a ground beef pastelito, 1 cheese pupusa, 1 baleada, and a side of green bananas. My favorite was the beef pastelito but I ate every single thing on the plate. Was happy they gave us salsa in separate bowls. I also had the margarita and it was refreshing with a little kick from the tajin in place of the salt. We have decided when we are in Joplin again we will definitely head here.

Lots of flavor and very juicy. The patty needed a little salt but otherwise it was good. The sweet potato fries stole the prize though. Man are the spectacular. Perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection with just a little salt. The atmosphere is good. Very casual. It's not full service so if you run out of your favorite soft drink, then that's on you! It is free refills. So get up and go get more. I'd definitely recommend this place. I believe the chicken tenders are better than the burger, but the burger isn't anything to sneeze at either.

I was feeling like poke and jumped at the woman behind the counter's suggestion for a couple of tacos and a side of macaroni salad. It doesn't look like much, but it was filling. It was also really good. A small note -the restaurant's layout is a little tight and it takes a little bit to bust out a line, but the staff is really nice and happy to help with any questions you have.

Love the ambiance, not cluttered, but open and inviting. Could use some AC in there or some fountain drinks. Ya gotta pay for soda by the can. Now for the food because that's always important. I got the Dynamite Roll. The roll was huge for only 5 pieces and was completely deep fried as a whole. Personally, deep frying them one at a time would be better but they have their own method. Also got their Spicy Tonkatsu ramen, this was so good. They give you an option of spicy you want your broth from 1-5, 1 being mild to their hottest at level 5. If it comes spicier sign me up. All in all it was a great experience and plan to be back many more times.
