    Green curry
    Kelly K.

    Stopped in for lunch. Small restaurant. I ordered pork green curry over rice. It came out quickly. The flavor of the sauce was good though the pork seemed to be boiled in the sauce and for too long. Lots of thin green curry with some carrot, peas, pieces of pork, and tough too much bamboo shoots. I missed eggplant which would have been better than bamboo shoots. For what I was served, I consider the price too expensive. Side of rice came with it tasted good.

    Seafood cashew nut
    Jennifer H.

    The plaza where this restaurant is located looks a little run down, but the inside of the restaurant was shockingly nice with great decorations. I got the cashew nut entree with seafood. The dish was so large and came with lots of veggies. The ratio of onions compared to the carrots and celery was a little too much though. The seafood included 4 mussels, 2 scallops, shrimp, fish, and calamari. The seafood was surprisingly tender. The mussels didn't taste the freshest, but were still solid. The scallops were my fave - soft and delicious. The fish was too heavily breaded, so you couldn't taste much of the fish. The broth was light and not too salty. My fiancée got a curry dish, which he loved. Each dish was around $20. Overall a great quality and great value meal!

    Mango sticky rice with almost no rice

    Service was mid, did not interact much. Food, not very appealing. Sticky mango rice, which by the way, was 12 dollars, contained too much mango and very little to no rice.

    I called ahead for a takeout order today at 5 pm and they told me it would only be a 10 minute wait. They were very nice on the phone. When I came in, it seemed like casual dining here, and they were kind of busy. I ordered the yellow curry and asked for them to add eggplant to it for me. I also ordered a Thai tea. My order was ready when I arrived. The yellow curry was good, but I do wish the curry was thicker. However, their veggies were cooked nicely. In terms of the Thai tea, I wished it was steeped longer- I didn't think it was strong enough.

    Pad Thai  (Chicken & shrimp)

    Hands down the BEST Pad Thai in town. I've tried Pad Thai from just about every Thai spot around, and nothing compares to this place. The noodles were perfectly chewy, not sticky or overcooked, and the sauce had that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and just a little heat. They are super sweet and attentive. Super clean environment.

    Easily missed mom found this location for us to try for our Saturday night out meal. As you can see, outside it doesn't look like much but step inside and it's a different story. It like looking through a hole to another world. We started with a yummy Tom Kha. We ordered a small and there was enough for 3 of us! So began our introduction to the large portions that they offer. dad ordered a steak dish that came with the dipping sauce. The dipping sauce was too spicy for him, but the beef was good. Mom and I ordered different versions of pad sei eww. It was good and we each had boxes to take home. A little greasy and the vegetables were Kris, which is good for me but undercooked for mom. Service was good, Overall, we enjoyed it.

    I ordered the salmon special with brown rice and it was very good! It was in a sauce of panang curry. I'd like the vegetables weren't overcooked they were crunchy and not mushy. Parking could be pretty tough but coming here at the right time. I don't think they'll be any problems, but I definitely recommend this Thai restaurant. The service and the ambience is perfect !

    Spicy noodles
    Renee L.

    We wanted to try a new restaurant. Thai Time is small inside, but very good. The service is friendly and efficient. The calamari & fried spring rolls were a great start to our dinner. The fried spring rolls had a lot of cabbage. The calamari was spot on. Both came with a dipping sauce. My friend ordered the spicy noodles with chicken and I had the pineapple curry. My friend likes spicy, but a 4 was a little much for her. Portions and prices are a bonus. I would highly recommend this little spot. Many people were also ordering take out. They also have a lunch menu. We are going to come back for that soon.

    Nicely decorated

    I brought my son here for a Mom and son Valentines dinner. The food was delicious and the portion was enough to take home for another 2 extra meals. We had the Winter Shrimp which was very unique and tasty. They looked like a very long egg roll. Then I ordered the yellow chicken curry and my son had the Special Royal Crispy duck which he loved. I also ordered crab fried rice, very nicely done with all the ingredients. I don't like onions in my rice, so I was able to take those out of my fried rice. The Thai iced tea with Boba was yummy. We enjoyed the atmosphere and all the decorations in the restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and checked up on us multiple times. After they packed the food for us, I ordered the very yummy mango and sweet rice dessert. That was absolutely delicious!! Since it was Valentines day, they gave the couple in front of us a courtesy long stem rose for the lady. And then gave my son and I a nice small chocolate the shape of a heart. Our bill was $88 and since we had a very nice time, I tipped $20. What an absolutely great restaurant! Highly recommend. We will come back again.

We were seated along the wall which had booth seating, which I prefer. For drinks I ordered a Thai tea no boba and the hubs a coke. We order the following items for dinner: Appetizers - - Crispy egg rolls - with pork (4 pieces) - served with veggies and fish sauce, these were tasty. - Salt pepper chicken wings - (8 pieces) they were a tad over fried but flavor was good. - Spring rolls - (2 pieces) with pork and shrimp, we ordered these Togo. Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. Parking lot was not packed at all. If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7

The service was excellent the moment we walked in and continued all the way until we left. The entire floor staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly hardworking--especially as the dinner rush picked up. You could really see them hustling, but they never missed a beat. The food was just as impressive as the service. We started with the shrimp and beef spring rolls with fish sauce, which are always a must for us. For our mains, we ordered a variety of rice platter dishes including grilled shrimp, BBQ pork, BBQ chicken, egg rolls, and a BBQ beef banh mi sandwich--everything was flavorful and satisfying. One thing that really stood out was our waiter, who memorized our entire order without writing anything down--very impressive! I also placed a to-go order for the #99 platter, and everything came out quickly and accurately. We were in and out in under an hour and a half, even during peak dinner time.

Then as I'm watching them work, the older guy is preparing the tins with spoons and places his fingers on the spoons and the sauce plates. As I'm watching him a young kid grabs a bowl to bring to a customer next to us and he uses his bare hand to wipe out the bowl, obviously seeing something in the bowl. And hands it to the customer. The health and safety board needs to indirect this place. The tables were wiped but you could still see grease remnants from left over food on the table. The lack of sanitary practices gets an " F" rating. It is obvious no one has a food handlers certificate. One plate came out and had to wait over 5 min for next plate to Come out. If you keep your eyes closed and don't watch what they are doing here, you probably think their food is great. We won't ever come here again.
