    Spinach Noodle - Lunch Special
    Zen C.

    Thai Time 3 has been one of my two go to Thai spots for over a year now, mainly for their lunch special. The food tastes great, is well priced, and the staff is consistent and accommodating. In a year, I have never had a meal I was unsatisfied about. I've tried (too?) many Thai places in San Diego, TT3's consistency and price is unmatched. It is one of those local "hole in the wall" joints that you want to keep to yourself but you tell people because they deserve the customers.

    48. Sweet and Sour

    The food here is okay. The place is a little run down. The service was good. The ambiance was okay. There's parking out front. The red curry was very good but it was served in a paper bowl which took away from the quality i'd say. The sweet and sour chicken was just okay.

    "4" Shrimp Pad Thai - Tasty but could use another "3" shrimp
    Brian P.

    Overall I would recommend this place as the food is good, the booths are comfortable and the service and prices were decent. My only complaint was the amount of shrimp in my Pad Thai- the dish only came with 4 shrimp, call me picky but if you're going to change me for a particular Protien then give me enough to complement the carb...5 to 7 shrimp depending on the size should be the minimum...this would have pushed them from 3 to 4 stars easily.

    Thai Time III is a go-to for take-out nights when I stay with friends in Clairemont. Hard to beat their prices and speed for the quality! Wish I had a place like TT III in my neighborhood in the Bay. We usually get their pad thai, fried appetizers, curries, fried rice, and Thai tea. For the lunch entree with pad thai, an egg roll, and small salad, it's $12.50! The staff are always super quick and welcoming when we stop by. Parking is also easy in the complex. One of our favorite weeknight spots.

    Pad thai with chicken
    Casey Z.

    Love this place! :) Stopped by for their lunch specials this week & they were tasty plus reasonably priced, compared to other restaurants in the area. We ordered the pad thai with chicken and pineapple fried rice with beef. Service was great and we parked right in front of the restaurant via a shared plaza parking lot with lots of spaces. Ambiance was cozy, lots of natural light in the afternoon & not super crowded. Excited to come back to try out all of the different types of lunch specials they have available (22 variations, to be exact lol)!

    Food and service is amazing, Miriam our server is very friendly. I ordered shrimp fried rice and it is delicious.

    Great little spot and excellent service. Quick and simple little Thai food spot with a very large menu.

    Went there with a group of two, was quickly seated and was welcomed with a nice ambiance. The Thai iced was very sweet and refreshing. The food overall was good. Would recommend.

    A cold Friday night asks for the coconut Thai soup. The boyfriend and I went to another one next to his place but it was packed so we decided to try this one. Did not realize it was super casual, kind of like a diner place. We ordered jasmine tea expecting the teapot and the little cups and hot too homie, tea from sachet in a mug. Oh well. The spring rolls both the hot and the cold ones were really good. The soup was not great. Never saw imitation crab in one of those soups and very little seafood even though it was the one with seafood. It was good to share though. Very friendly and super fast service.

The seating area is small and parking can be challenging, but the food more than makes up for it. The fish tacos were outstanding--some of the best I've had in San Diego. Both the smoked fish taco and the beer-battered fish taco were incredible and packed with flavor. The seafood tower was also amazing, fresh, and beautifully put together. The only item that missed the mark for me was the al pastor taco, which was a little too sweet for my taste. Everything else was excellent. If you're looking for quality seafood, amazing fish tacos, and a casual spot with great energy, El Viejon Seafood is definitely worth a visit. Service was nice and fast. Good tasting salsa selections

The half aquachile w/ green sauce for $14 was decently sized, SUPER acidic, and had a huge helping of rather plump butterflied shrimp. I don't recall if I was prompted to add avocado, but the $3 up charge for half an avocado was fair. We also ordered a shrimp ceviche tostada ($7) and an Ensenada/ battered fish taco ($4.50). The ceviche was rather fresh with crunchy bits of pico and the blue corn tostada was a unique creative touch, adding more depth of flavor. The fish taco was perhaps the best I've had! Super cheap at $4.50 and still loaded. Batter wasn't overwhelming and fried to perfection, crunch ever present. They do have drinks available with an extra large, 22oz, Modelo at $9 being a great value. I do not recommend the Mango Margarita ($10.50) though. This was ESPECIALLY sweet and somehow the alcohol concentrates at the bottom, stirring constantly absolutely required. Perhaps better to pay in cash as they do have a 3% credit card surcharge which I feel like I wasn't very aware of because I would have otherwise paid in cash. Other than that slight, I can 100% recommend for the mariscos which is top tier.

I placed my order through the ChowNow platform and arrived to pick it up, only to find out that the restaurant staff was completely unaware the order had been received. Because the order was never sent to the kitchen, I had to wait additional time while it was prepared. The bigger issue was the food itself. I ordered Combo 3, which states it includes 1 lb of clams, but there were very few clams in the bag--certainly nowhere near what I expected. In addition, there were no sausages at all and only 1-2 small potatoes included. Mistakes happen, but between the ordering issue and the missing ingredients, the meal did not match what was advertised. I hope the restaurant improves both its order management process and quality control.

Since I'm not the biggest spice fan, I usually order the Tangy Lemon Fish and the Royal Tomato Fish. If you like spice, then I recommend the Signature and the Laotan Suancai and Fish - both have a nice numbing mala spice to them. Perfect combination of salty, sour, and spicy flavors. For each bowl, you start by picking whether you want the base to be snakehead or basa fish. You then select 4 sides from a list (I highly recommend the vermicelli). Additional sides cost extra. For a small sized bowl, 1 bowl of rice is included. For a large sized bowl, 2 bowls of rice are included. The large size is enough to feed 2 people. I'd recommend ordering at least 3 larges if your party is 3 or more people.

Malatang has become so popular in SD, especially around Convoy, and I've noticed several new spots opening up in just the past couple of years. We tried the Malatang with the classic bone broth and tom yum broth. Both were alright - the broths were lighter and not as heavy or rich as some other Malatang places. It's a good option if you prefer something less oily and more on the lighter side. Their fried desserts - the Coconut Lava Balls and Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes - were pretty good. They had just the right amount of sweetness and weren't overly sweet, making them a nice way to end the meal. Even though they now offer Malatang, their Chinese-style fish soups are still worth checking out. Their menu originally centered around dishes like suancai fish, a popular Chinese comfort food that's relatively new to the SD food scene. If you're not in the mood for Malatang, the Tangy Lemon Fish and Golden Beef Soup are solid alternatives. The ingredient selection is good, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming.

They give you so much rice that I would recommend two people sharing the bowl. The rice is made perfect perfectly with perfect sticky level and perfect tender consistency. Our crab legs were delicious and very filling as well as the corn and potatoes that comes in the bag. The house mild seasoning was perfect. I have to say that the sweet potato fries were a bit spicy and peppery. Overall, we had excellent customer service, a good time, and the place was clean, which makes it extra special.

Our total came out to only about $4 for a bowl and a drink, which was honestly hard to beat. The service was excellent from start to finish.

I can definitely see myself ordering it again. The restaurant itself was also very clean, had a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff made the experience even better.
