Friend and I were driving through Binghamton and decided to stop for lunch. We ordered chicken and shrimp pad Thai, chicken red curry, veggies delight, all lunch. When we got our plates we were really excited to eat something warm since we've been on the road for a few days, but I have a few bones to pick although we ate all the food(we were hungry) Missing eggplant in red curry, missing crushed peanuts on pad Thai, missing heat in pad Thai when we specifically we wanted spicy, whole garlic in veggie delight (I know it's garlic sauce, but whole garlic?! Not chopped) After speaking to management, we were told they don't put eggplant in curries anymore, but it's on the menu still, waitress said they haven't gotten a chance to change it yet. Missing crushed peanut is her fault she had forgotten to pad Thai is supposed to be sweet and savory so they don't make it spicy, it's fine but maybe tell us when we were ordering?We were also charged $2 for tea, which I find weird for an Asian restaurant not offer free hot tea. Overall it was okay food, okay service, nothing stands out. Mediocre at most. Honorable mention, management gave us 10% off the bill. read more

This place serves mediocre Thai food, now offering Vietnamese pho too. I've dined here quite a few times from when they opened a couple of years ago until now and the quality and consistency of their food has greatly declined. I got the drunken noodles and it tasted fine, with nothing special about the dish. The past couple of times I've been here my friends found hair in their dishes so I would question their sanitary measures as the cooks don't wear nets over their hair. Overall Thai Time serves standard Thai food at reasonable prices. read more

Ordered Red Curry and Chicken Pad Thai for delivery. The Red Curry was good, but the Chicken Pad Thai only came with 3 small pieces of chicken. read more

Good Thai food that's well prepared. Presentation is also very nice. The biggest issue I have is the time it takes to get: drinks, food, check, anything. Be ready to wait because service is extremely slow. You won't be able to get out in under 90 minutes so make sure you're not in a time crunch. read more

Stopped by this Thai restaurant on the way down to New Jersey. It's a great little place with plenty of street parking near by...at least on a Sunday. We had the Pad Woon Sen (Vermicelli noodles) and the Drunken Noodle dish. I'd rate the former dish a 2/5 and the latter dish a 6/5...it was that good! The drunken noodle comes with huge shrimp that you don't see in most Thai restaurants. Even though we ordered both dishes with "3 chillis" the Pad Woon Sen didn't seem as spicy as the Drunken Noodle. The service was great, the washroom was clean. If there's one thing that prevents me from rating this restaurant higher, it's their price. Their dishes are about 10-15% more expensive than other Thai restaurants I've eaten at in NJ and NY. With that being said, if I pass by Binghamton again, I'll more probably stop by and order another round of Drunken Noodles. read more

Hands down the worst service of all time. My order was prepaid for pick up at 6:00 and I had to wait for over an hour. They made very little effort to update me, I had to keep asking. While waiting for my order I witnessed them lose multiple peoples orders, and continue to skip over certain other orders to "accommodate" others waiting. Very unprofessional and extremely disappointed. I will never order take out here again. Zero apologies and no compensation for my time. This isn't the first time this has happened either, it's habitual and unacceptable. I'm not sure what happened to this place. read more

One of the best restaurants in the area. The atmosphere is great music-wise, and decor-wise. Service: Awesome, the staff is very professional and personal at the same time. I've come here multiple times and have had a different waitress just about every time, yet they all have been great. Food: Holy PHOck. The pho is great no matter which variation you get. The spring roll appetizers are awesome! The salad they give you before your meal has some spicy-peanut dressing on it and it really does prepare your pallet for the flavorfest your mouth is about to experience. Summary: COME HERE NOW! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! read more

I used to love Thai Time, but it's gone downhill, especially the service. The food was not great and don't expect your order to be ready on time for takeout. I read some reviews online of people complaining that they requested their food in 20 mins and it took closer to 40, so when ordering online asked for it to be picked up in 40 mins. I got there a few minutes after it was scheduled to be ready, and ended up waiting ANOTHER 30 minutes for the food. If I had wanted to be in there for 30+ minutes, I would have just sat down to eat. I wanted takeout so I could just grab the food and leave. When I got home the pad thai I ordered tasted disgusting and I had to throw it out. Total waste of time and money. read more

Thai Time has gone down hill for some reason, it used to be nice but now the wait is always SOOO long for your food and the food is not that good anymore. read more

Usually, I enjoy my dinner here. The pad Thai this time tasted so processed. It did not seem fresh, the sauce was so sticky and gooey. It was a bizarre texture. Thai crispy rolls had no taste and even the chili sauce had no flavor. Disappointing because I normally enjoy my food at Thai time although I probably will not be back for a while. The Thai fried rice was flavorful and seem to taste oKay. read more

Worst take out experience ever. Took a shot and called at 4:40 pm, on Valentine's day. Placed my order and they said it would be 45 minutes. I figured that I lucked out because of the timing. When I arrived 45 minutes later there were several people waiting for take-out. Waited my turn, told my name and what I ordered, and was told it would be a few minutes. Waited some more, was asked again what I had ordered and my name. The third time I was asked what I ordered the hostess was typing in the order. I asked her if she was just putting in my order now. She replied that they did not have my order. If when I arrived they had told me they did not have an order for me that would have been it, and I would have left. This level of dishonesty breaks customer trust, and causes people to write yelp reviews as the only recourse left (that and a call the next day) I imagine that the staff had a rough night, but in the end cooks will go home (but will be paid for their time), the wait-staff will count their tips, the owners will turn a prophet, but me I left with nothing to show for my time. The owners should feel an immense level of shame for poorly training their employees, and for under-staffing on a holiday. read more

Staff untrained in good service. Very sweet girl serving me and saying all the right things but not doing anything right. After being dissatisfied with the diet coke being absolutely flat, when she came to me asked "can I top off your soda", I said no its really flat so it's ok - no service from that comment. I look at my bill and I was charged $3 for the drink. So I asked someone who seemed to be more senior to get me a soda with bubbles. Still nothing after waiting there 10 minutes. I was asked if i wanted desert politely but no real service. Leaving sort of pissed more for the wait on the soda, I was given a sorry. Food was standard but not special. Service - might not only be bad but dumb. There prices remind me of Brooklyn, but not the service. I won't go back. read more

Hmm... not sure whats going on with the average 3.5 stars rating for this place. I mean, for a small thai restaurant sorta tucked away from the "Main St" I thought this place was great. Nothing about it was memorable, but I ordered take out and was the first order in for dinner. I was waiting outside in my car for this place to open. Food was whipped up in less than 15 mins, ordered two different types of Thai Curry dishes. If I am in the area again I will try and dine in. But for take out, experience was great and would recommend this spot for anyone in the mood for Thai food. read more

One of my Binghamton favorites! When I came to college I was new to thai (family doesn't like spicy food). This was a great introduction. I know all the city folk will tell you this isn't the best thai in the world, but it's pretty damn good, especially in for the Southern Tier. The exposed brick interior and the outdoor patio overlooking the Chenango river makes for a really cool ambiance. The thai iced coffee is a sweet treat and it pairs well with any spicy, hardy thai dish like the drunken noodles or the lard nah. The spiciness comes in levels 1-5 so you can bring your Mom who doesn't like spicy food. I brought my parents here when they visited for the weekend and they loved it so much, my father went out and bought himself a wok to try and learn how to cook lard nah at home. read more

I have consistently had really poor service when dining at Thai Time. Our server did not come help us after taking our food orders. Following this, it took 30 minutes and four tries to get our bills correct when trying to pay. The server also did not understand how their half off sushi deal worked. As this is the only Thai food place in the area I would not recommend dining in and only carry out. read more

We decided to check out Thai Time for Restaurant Week. We got the Chicken Satay and the Fried Calamari for starters. Chicken was cooked perfectly, the sauce was a version we were not hot for. The Calamari rings were perfect! Crispy, clean taste (clearly they are keeping on top of changing the oil), perfectly cooked and portioned calamari. The dipping sauce was a perfect pairing, a touch sweet but not overpowering! Next we had the Drunken Noodles and Pineapple Curry. The Drunken noodles were spicy, complex and so good! Plenty of moist chicken and shrimp! The Pineapple Curry was nice and spicy with crisp veggies, and tons juicy chicken and shrimp! For desert we had the Lava Cake and the Cheesecake Eggroll! Both were topped with their house made raspberry sauce and paired with a really delicious orange ice cream! We don't normally order desserts but we will next time we hit up Thai Time! It appears they have recently hired pretty much all new serving staff. I forgot our servers name but it was only her second day and she was fantastic! She rolled with having a toddler patron like a champ! Even lent him one of her pens from her pen rainbow(my kid was fixated on her pens!). She was prompt, was diligent making sure we enjoyed every new course. She didn't make us wait for our check but never once made us feel rushed. Never had an empty glass either which is a huge bonus in my husband's opinion. She was quick to make sure we had a good supply of paper napkins too! We will surely be going back! The Drunken Noodles will be in my dreams tonight! read more

My wife and I just moved to Johnson City from Clearfield, PA. We love Thai food, especially curry of all kinds, and tom kha gai. We went to Thai Time, expecting something acceptable or at least 'good'. Our experience at Thai Time was unexpectedly good in all aspects. We parked in a metered spot and I put two quarters in the meter, giving us one hour. As soon as we walked in, we were seated immediately. Within three minutes, we were brought water, salad, and our drinks were ordered and delivered, and within five minutes we had our food order placed. The Thai iced tea was fantastic. The cream floated on top, creating a wonderful visual presentation. The taste was fresh and perfectly balanced. Soon, (five to seven minutes after ordering) we received our appetizers. My wife ordered curry puffs and I ordered tom kha gai. As expected from the yelp reviews, the curry puffs were incredible. Just the right amount of heat and packed full of flavor! The pastry was crispy on the outside, flaky, but soft on the inside (not undercooked, just cooked perfectly!). The filling was just right, spicy, flavorful, and with a great texture. The potatoes were not mushy but cooked just right. The chili sauce served with the curry puffs was almost drinkable because it was so good. A very impressive appetizer! The tom kha gai was literally the best I've ever had. The balance of sweet, sour, and salty was perfect. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the veggies were still crunchy, and not mushy. I couldn't stop eating it! The entrées were just as fantastic as the appetizers. My wife ordered the green curry and I ordered the drunken noodle. The curry, like the tom kha gai was cooked perfectly (tender chicken, crunchy veggies). The curry was perfectly balanced between sweet and heat and tasted just like what I would make at home. The drunken noodle was also amazing. The portion was huge and the flavor was complex and absolutely delicious. There was plenty of chicken throughout. There was only one thing that they missed the mark on. There were only two pieces of shrimp in the whole dish but regardless, I cannot dock a whole star from my review because of something this minor. All ingredients were obviously fresh and properly prepared. The waiter was attentive, polite, personable, and more than deserving of a full tip. Overall, our experience at Thai Time was certainly deserving of 5 stars. read more

9/10 times the food is good but the service is so embarrassingly awful. Have waited over 15 minutes for someone to come to the table, half the time there's no host, will order takeout and items will be missing, tried to pickup food and waited over 20 minutes while the people working just stared and let one girl do all the work read more

We loved this restaurant! Excellent Thai food! Great ambiance and good service. The outdoor seating looked amazing - great view of the river. read more

I hate Thai food but was invited here for a party. I ordered the least Thai sounding thing on the menu- Chicken and Broccoli and I have to say- I truly enjoyed it! It wasn't salty, greasy or processed tasting like chicken and broc can be from Chinese takeout. It was a really good portion, the broccoli was crisp, not mushy and the presentation was nice. The prices are super reasonable too. My bf ordered the seafood salad as an entrée since he is gluten-free and that seemed like the safest option. He actually loved it. It was fresh and light and contained a good amount of seafood. read more

I thoroughly enjoy Thai food. I've tried a couple of different Thai restaurants here in the Binghamton area and although the service here is horrible I put up with it because the food is the best compared to the others around. Their entrees are always fresh and the spices are pretty accurate to what is requested. I have yet to request a spice level and find it way too spicey or no where near what I want. The prices for the food are a bit high and the service is extremely slow which is why I will give them a 4 and not a 5. Overall though, if you're not in a hurry and don't mind paying a bit more than the rest it is worth your time and money! read more

Food and service was good. Great indoor and outdoor atmosphere for a day or night out. read more

I visited Thai Time when I was in town for a business trip. I went on a Friday evening around 5:00. The restaurant began to fill up then and was packed by 6:00 or so. The space itself is pretty nice. Somewhat narrow but it goes back far, with a nice view of the river. I ordered the tofu pad Thai spice level 2. I'm use to pad Thai that's well seasoned and flavorful. Other than the spice, that was all that stood out. The tofu wasn't well cooked either. Overall, I was disappointed. I would not recommend. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. Me and my three suitemates came here last Sunday. Two of us had tried Thai food before; two hadn't. Since we had a reservation, we weren't waiting very long to be seated, but right off the bat I could tell that our service was going to be tricky. We were basically served by two different people (there seemed to be a general lack of communication). First, we asked for utensils, which took way longer than necessary to get, and when I asked for chopsticks our waitress (er, one of them) said "just a moment" and I never got them for me. What other people have said is completely true: they really need a manager. While ultimately we weren't completely ignored or treated badly, and our food came out mostly on time, the whole service just felt... disjointed. As for the food itself: it was edible. I would even venture to say that I'd eat it again, but only under certain conditions. I got the Pad Thai ($15) and while it was certainly pretty enjoyable, it just didn't taste right. I've had Pad Thai a few times before, and I've gotten larger portions, cheaper ($7-$10), and far more authentic. The two roomies who were new to Thai said it was good, but the other one (she had the Drunken Noodles) said the same thing that I did; if you're looking for authenticity and appropriate pricing, you aren't going to find it here. She also ordered ONLY chicken in her noodles, and found chicken AND shrimp... it's a good thing she's not allergic to seafood. I also went ahead and ordered the fried cheesecake eggroll for dessert. It came in this laughably huge bowl, and while it wasn't terrible, it was far from the heavenly deliciousness that you usually get from good fried cheesecake. It wasn't even warm! At the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. While we had a good evening and left full and pretty much content, I get the feeling (based on other reviews) that our decent experience was a fluke. read more

By far the best thai food i have tried. There are a few things i would like to mention which can be improved, first is the service. The service is slow, i waited for almost 30 mins just to get my appetizer. Second thing is the portion size, its a bit small for me. Taste is great and the presentation is good too. I think they should increase the portion size by at least 20%. Ideal place to take someone on a date. read more

Waited for over a hour for food. Still not ready and forced to leave. Don't order takeout here if you have plans. Everyone inside was waiting as well. Just an unorganized mess. read more

Great food but the service was a mess. Right from the start just to get a table, then trying to get served our drinks outside. Seemed to be a lot of confusion on who was doing what. At one point we thought they forgot about us. Like I said, great food as always though. read more

Been here many times. Pros- food is good..... Tasty. And love how you can spice it up.... Good go to dishes- pad Thai, drunken noodles, spicy basil.... The seafood is relatively very fresh. Cons - it's cold! Sometimes they charge for Extra rice Sometimes they charge for tea. It depends on the day and who waits on you. The portions have been getting smaller from the first time I went maybe 3 months ago. A few times they did not have the things on menu. For example, no calamari because they had to save it for the seafood menu.... Service is sometimes hit or miss. Overall I still go back because the good is probably the best Thai food in bing that I've had. read more

The best Thai restaurant EVER. Everything on the menu is delicious, my favorite is the tom kha gai soup and the spicy basil with chicken. I moved to Tennessee and I think about this place ALL THE TIME. Highly recommend! read more

01 / 30 / 2015 I had dinner at Thai Time last night on the 30th and it was simply amazing! Ambiance: My friends and I sat on the main floor which can become very crowded very quickly but, we had a fantastic time. The noise level was tolerable. We easily conversed without feeling as if we were over talking anyone. We also didn't become party to anyone else's conversations. This can be a nice evening out out amongst friends or you can grab a cozy table and make it date night. Service: Our service was great, we never had to look far for our waiter, she seemed to always pop up. The restaurant was busy so our food took timw but it wasn't noticeable to us since we were having such a great time together. Entrée: Everyone simple loved their dish. I had the Green Curry rice, two of my friends had the drunken noodles, my friends daughter had the pad thai, someone else had rice and yellow curry (I'm guessing on this one).... I do not believe that was the name but she had the curry soup in a bowl with shrimp and chicken with the rice on the side, and last but not least, our last table participant had Bangkok Chilli. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our night there. We shared fried ice cream as a table for dessert and that too was delicious! All in all great night, great food, and most importantly, great company. read more

Their food is alright. I've had their drunken noodles and pad see ew, and I found that they were pretty okay, but I found the chicken and beef to be pretty tough and chewy. Their portions are pretty big, and definitely filling. Their curry puffs were pretty decent, but I wouldn't get them again. The pho is terrible though--the broth lacked flavor. I mean, why would you get pho at a Thai place anyways? Anyways, I've had much, much better Thai food, but this place should satisfy your cravings. The food is nothing to write home about though. Service is alright, but definitely not the best. I've yet to have any bad experiences here, but I've only been here about three times. read more

Food is so good! There is a beautiful view of the water from their back patio, it is just so breathtaking there. The only problem is the wait for food, so I'd recommend some appetizers for your wait. Everything else is PERFECT! read more

Solid Three Stars. Food was delicious and plentiful, at reasonable prices. Atmosphere is nice with a dinning/bar room in addition to various decks for the warmer weather. The time we went we sat in the less desirable entry/hallway area which is not quite as nice as the main room. Service was OK, but somewhat impersonal. Beer list was very pedestrian for a funky place which tries to attract an eclectic crowd. My Stella was a bit skunky as well. read more

I was torn between giving this place 4 or 5 stars. The food tonight was just wonderful. I had Drunken Noodles, and the spice level was just perfect, my boyfriend likes the Pineapple rice with chicken, and he said it was very good too. We got take out and it was ready on time when they stated, and it was still warm by the time we got it home. We've eaten here before and had a fantastic meal before. So glad that they are downtown, it makes me happy to see downtown revitalizing! read more

Hard to missed pad thai what is a street food but they did. The green curry was only ok. I'm a big fan a thai food but i will not be back The service is good. read more

Do not go here and waste your money. I was very disappointed in not only the food and the service, but also the price. The only thing that I actually enjoyed was my drink. I had a hot green tea (can't really mess that up) and a Thai iced tea. As for my food I ordered 3 sushi rolls ($8 EACH) and they were dry and mini sized. I couldn't believe my eyes I thought they were feeding a mouse. My friend ordered fried rice, which my waitress forgot to order. We waited an ADDITIONAL 30 minutes for her to receive her food. Then, when I get my check I got charged a $100 for a bar tab? Honestly I didn't even want to pay my bill or even tip for that matter, but I know that isn't right. I will not be returning to this place of establishment. You couldn't even pay me to go. Disappointed is an understatement. read more

The pad Thai beef was not good. The meat was hard and the noodle was too soft and sweet . The fried rice is not bad.

the atmosphere is really good in the restaurant, particularly in the back. The food is made a little too spicy for my taste but the servers have no problem making custom modifications for your dish. The view of the river is also very good, and the bar has a very good modern aesthetic to it would recommend for dinner or a group get together. read more

Literally one of my go-to restaurants as a resident of Binghamton! Amazing sushi, great outdoor seating, and overall nice vibes. Everytime I go, the food is consistently delicious! read more

One of the worst service I had in a while. Would give 0 stars if I could. The pad Thai was dry and cold by the time it was served after 2 hours. The portions seemed to be cut short and the waiter basically threw the plates onto the table. He forgot an order and utensils as well. read more
