First off the food there is amazing. Lots of vegetarian options and so fresh. But the staff is just as good. They're attentive and kind and always serve with a smile. I visit often and love it. Also the ambiance is great it's got a cute look and they decorate for the holidays. read more

Delicious and great customer services. New favorite Thai restaurant in San Diego. Will definitely come back and recommend.

When we found a selected Thai restaurant closed, we decided to try Thai Time. TT's food was excellent! I would certainly choose it again sometime. The reason I gave it four stars is because the servers, although prompt, were unfriendly and the ambience of the restaurant was a mixed bag. Tables a little too small and close together and even with great wall hangings, the restaurant looked a little shabby. read more

If you've been working with your hands all day, great comfort food really helps put you in that zone where you feel like you can keep going all day. Get the fried rice with beef and leave the hotness at 5. There is more than enough seating inside their restaurant. In my method of rating, just thumbs up or thumbs down, this place hit the spot! read more

The best fresh spring rolls ! Super fresh and crisp . Their pad Thai is delicious! Definitely one of my favorite Thai places in El Cajon food is always fresh & service is always great ! read more

The food here very good and there is plenty to satisfy your appitite. They will cook your food to order and you don't have to worry about something being too spicey. I definately will return. read more

Came and got the pad Thai. It was not good at all. Wasn't like it's unedible but was not good. Needed a lot more flavor. Doesn't taste like anything. Just tastes like noodles in oil. Needs more sauce. Tastes mainly like straight up noodles. Needs salt, spicy, everything. Friendly service and quick. Would definitely go somewhere else or order something that's not pad Thai. It's so sad cause I was really craving pad thai and decided to try this place out. Thinking of going to the Thai place next door later to satisfy my craving. Wrote review immediately after eating. I think I got food poisoning and my tummy still hurts. read more

Came to buy a pasta when I got it it was very few pieces of chicken I dos not complain but I saw on the menu you can add extra chicken wich I ask to pay the 5 dlls extra the guy say no I have to order something else because extra is just when you buy one plate and I had already paid so he won't let me rode extra unless a aid another meal !!! This is very sad since I drove from Temecula to El Cajon and I been a customer for 20 years !!! Very disappointed I just needed xtra protein and I was gonna paid for it !!! I sat down no body ever came to check on me on purpose wich this is very unprofessional to get it personal like that they were looking at me and talking on their language and keep staring at me !!! I never felt that uncomfortable in my life read more

Great service and huge servings. The food was great and the service was super fast. My son absolutely loved the coconut ice cream. The veggies in our pad see eu was super fresh and the mushrooms were super good. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Super authentic amazing vibe and energy. And best of all the best Thai food I've ever had. The portions are perfect.. The flavors are right on point. The plating is just so beautiful and appetizing. The service is amazing. I recommend this place I must visit. Definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to. read more

I've been to Thai Time several times already, I have tried serveral of the dishes, and I've never been disappointed! I never get tired of the salmon dish, which is loaded with beautiful vegetable, with an amazing sauce, and the salmon is cooked to perfection every time. All the other dishes I have tried have been amazing in flavor and presented tastefully. The service, the selection, the prices are all great. I go there so much; the servers know me by name, and I know them by name. The women, Chutima is so attentive to everyone and can help you with a selection as she is very patient and knowledgeable. The young man who also serves the customers is BT. These two both people make you want to come back to eat there often. The cook or cooks are amazing with every dish, which all seem to be made heartfelt. I highly recomment Thai Time... Thank you! I'll see you again soon! read more

I was pleasantly surprised of this place because of the location. I mean, good Thai food in El Cajon ? Who would have thought ! I'm sorry if that offended but are you really surprised ? Like really, are you ? This was a good reminder to check my judgement as it's a new world. I was a bit skeptical at first until I noticed how busy this business was. I think all the tables were occupied and at least half of them were all Asians, which is usually a good sign that the place is legit. And yeah, the food was good. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't lunchtime because I really enjoy the assortment of food during Thai lunch special but that's our fault for coming too late. I'm glad to know this place exists and will definitely re-visit if we're ever in the area and in the mood for Thai. read more

Picked up food this place yesterday since I was in the area and craving for some Thai food. I ordered fried spring rolls (excellent) chicken pad thai (lacked flavor and noodles were dry) and kra pow (ground pork with basil) flavor was on point. Place is very small but clean and they were pretty busy for a mid afternoon when I walked in. The two girls running the place were quick and friendly. read more

On weekdays I order takeout after work and do takeout on weekends. Food is safely secured for my commutes; the food containers are sturdy enough that I reuse or repurpose them. I should try eating there; it's a cozy setting. #10Tofu Soup is excellent with the glass noodles; Can never go wrong with curry dishes; #43 Phu-Ket Seafood tastes great; #49 BBQ chicken is skinless and flavorful. Staff are friendly and customer service is excellent. read more

Great food! We don't live locally but make it a point to visit Thai Time every time we are in the area. It never disappoints! The service is top notch and we haven't had a dish that we didn't like. We especially love the Tom Kha soup, yellow curry with chicken or shrimp, and chicken satay. You can never go wrong with their Pad Thai as well. Thai Time is located in a tiny strip mall across the way from Parkway Plaza. Don't let the location fool you, it's a hidden gem of a restaurant. read more

Solid papaya salad here. They also remember to leave off the peanuts, if you request. Spicy levels here are higher than you think they are. I love and LIVE for spicy food and usually order level 8 at non-Thai restaurants. Do not do that here. Thai scale is twice as spicy as other scales. If you want a rough rule of thumb with authentically spicy Thai places, double whichever level # you're considering. That'll give you an idea how fiery it will ACTUALLY be. Papaya Salad level #5 was the perfect level of me. It was intense enough to give you that "capsaicin buzz". And it gives your mouth that fun arson kind of feeling. But I could also tell that a 6 would have been too much. to the point where it would be all pain and no payoff. It was a Order a Thai tea as well. It's delicious and also doubles to cool your mouth if you happen to order too spicy. (Dairy counteracts spiciness, unless water which makes it worse). The small Thai tea is around $3. It comes in a tall which looks really cool (although it creates the illusion that the drink is bigger than it is) read more

I've seen this restaurant many times and I'm glad that I actually gave them a try. It's a nice quaint restaurant with beautiful decor. Our servers were very nice and pleasant. Food: Pad Thai with tofu Panang with Chicken Sticky Rice The food was absolutely divine. I was so happy that the pad thai was not overly seasoned with fish sauce. I will say that this is one of the best I've had in years. The panang was also delicious with lots of flavor. I ordered a 3 and it was perfect. A little kick but not burning my mouth. I'm sensitive to spicy foods so if you like it spicy, do a 10. Overall, a restaurant I will recommend to everyone. Best kept secret in El Cajon. read more

I ordered this to go and picked up an order of pad sew, spicy fried rice, and the KRA- POW THAI (HOT BASIL THAI STYLE). The food was piping hot and plentiful. If you're looking for great quality food, this is the spot to go to. Also, the restaurant itself looked fairly busy for a Saturday evening dinner. Next time, I'll make sure to take photos! read more
