    Thai Time is an excellent choice if you live in North Park. I've dined in and ordered takeout, and I can't believe I walked past this place thousands of times before finally trying it. My go‑to Thai spot is usually in Normal Heights and more of a takeout‑only vibe, so I wanted something a little more formal where you can sit down, have a drink, and enjoy the full experience. The menu is extensive -- truly something for everyone. They also have a full bar and a great happy hour. On our most recent visit, we caught the tail end of happy hour and ordered a couple of Tsing Tao beers (love pairing an Asian beer with Thai food) along with some apps. I appreciate that they have a printed happy hour menu right on the table -- easy to read and easy to order from. They also always have a specialty menu. I came in the fall for my birthday and they had a seasonal fall drink and food menu. This time, they had a February Valentine's special. The main menu is on a scannable QR code, and everything is clearly organized and easy to navigate. For entrées, we ordered the green curry and orange chicken, and for dessert -- obviously -- mango sticky rice. A Thai meal feels incomplete without it. What amazes me about this place is how fast the food comes out and how fresh and hot everything is. A pet peeve of mine is lukewarm food -- I need it sizzling -- and they deliver every time. Each dish came out quickly and was tasty. The only thing I'd note is the orange chicken had way too much sauce for my preference -- very sticky -- so next time I'd ask for sauce on the side or "easy sauce." The green curry portion was HUGE, like truly the biggest portion I've ever gotten at a Thai restaurant. Even at mild, it was pretty spicy for us, so next time I'd do no spice and add chili on the side. Food is priced appropriately. The ambiance is cozy with nice lighting and comfortable seating. This place gets a lot of to‑go and delivery orders, so keep that in mind if you're doing takeout -- honestly, dining in is usually faster for us. A solid neighborhood Thai spot with great service, fast food, and tons of options.

    Thai Time is a solid spot for Thai food in North Park. I stopped by for dinner on a weekday and it was pretty busy, but we still received great service. The staff were attentive and checked in regularly. The food was pretty good overall. I tried the truffle fries, Khao Soi, yellow curry, spicy fried rice, and mango sticky rice, and I'd definitely get the Khao soi and curry again. Both had great flavor. Worth stopping by if you're in the area!

    I couldn't love Thai Time more!!! Whether you dine in or get takeout, the food is goin to be extraordinary. I personally cannot get enough of their Pad Kee Mao & the Brussel sprouts are the best I've ever had. We recently tried their Lamb special and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! The service is superb, always happy and has great advice! The decor is beautiful too!

    This was my 2nd visit to Thai Time North Park and again the service and food was delicious and welcoming. Knot was our server so friendly with a smile. The Pad Thai was the best I've ever had and I liked it so much that I ordered a 2nd one to go. Immortal Beef was so tender and the vegetables cooked perfectly served on a sizzling plate. So happy to have an authentic restaurant like this in San Diego! I'll definitely be back again.

    Fantastic dinner served by super nice staff. We ordered spring rolls, chicken pad kra prao and crispy pork pad kra prao. The portions were big and the flavors amazing. We highly recommend Thai time

    Recently found Thai Time, and we love it! Great atmosphere and great service. You can tell that there are regulars who frequent the restaurant and there are constantly people picking up take out, which is a good indicator of good food for me. Parking can be tough in the area depending on the time, but it's worth hunting for a spot. We've dined in and ordered take out, and the dishes were consistently good. Highly recommend the spicy fried rice, the pad kee Mao, and the Thai tea. Glad to have found a reliable Thai spot in the area!

    To start off, the service was good. Everyone was nice and attentive. The restaurant is clean and not too busy for a Saturday night. I enjoyed everything but the fried rice. The fried rice could have used more flavor. It was ordered spicy level 7 and didn't really have a kick to it. I would come back for the appetizers and pad thai though.

    This was really really delicious. Great drinks, food and service. Honestly one of the best Thai meals I've had.

    My husband and I came to Thai Time in North Park after it was highly recommended by our son, who lives in the San Diego area. Not only did we visit once while in town, but we also came back a second time because we were so impressed! Thai Time is situated in the unique, midtown-like area of North Park. The decor inside was chic and eccentric, with comfortable seating, and our waiters were kind and vibrant. We had quite the feast! Colorful, beautifully plated, and full of freshness and flavor. We started with the Tuna Tower, which was served with crispy garlic shrimp chips. Sweet with a little bit of spice. For our carb dish, we went for a Pad Se Lew. It was good, but we may go with one of their Fried rice options instead next time. Lastly, the dishes that had us coming back for more included the Larb salad and the Immortal Beef. Larb salad lovers, you will love this! The portion was generous with crisp vegetables on the side. The Immortal beef was 8oz of delicious and flavorful seared angus ribeye steak with seared veggies with rice, and over-easy egg on the side. These two dishes are a must! Topped off with the mango sticky rice. So yummy, you will not regret making the drive out to North Park!

    Went here with a buddy of mine for lunch. He lives less than a block from this delicious place. If I lived that close I'd eat there every day. Got the pork belly appetizer and Khao Soi Gai with Rib Eye. OMG. Heaven!!! Service was great and lived the quaint atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Nikhil R.

    Pretty good Thai food for the price! The crab fried rice is super tasty, the ground chicken dishes or any curries are also excellent. Parking is extremely difficult as there is barely any street parking and no dedicated parking for the restaurant. You have to park on random side streets.

    This is my favorite place in north park. A true staple for not only myself but also my friend group and their families! We bring everyone here and the menu has ample dishes to continue trying. However, some of my favorites are the soft shell crab, spicy drunken noodles and spring rolls. The vibrant colors are refreshing and the staff is always joyous. I have to keep myself away or else I will live here and never leave.

    Solid Thai food. Got a big order and they got everything correct. Wish the egg was more runny and soft boiled but that could've been just it sitting for a while since we did takeout. Also wish there was more of that spicy fish sauce with chilis in it. That was delicious

    Do you still have a lunch special?

    They DO! The portions are commensurate to the price, though, so unsure if it's a "special"- but the food here has improved 100% since the new owners. I'm an addict, now and hadn't been in years with the previous owners. Enjoy!

    Does TT have fountain soda? Coke?

    No fountain Soda. But they offer a Mexican coke!

    If you have not changed your name, why are you not accepting gift certificates from before the change in management? That sounds shady.

    We are keeping the same name for now but we are definitely new owners and share holders. Please come in and speak with a manager (or call ahead) and we’ll accept the gift card from the previous owner. Thank you for reaching out about this.… Read more

The curry was flavorful and not too spicy. The beef ribs were good as well, just not what we expected and was saucey. The papaya salad was decent. I felt like there was some flavor missing in it. We were both filled at the end of it. Overall not bad, a bit overpriced, and I feel like you can get more bang for your buck at a normal Vietnamese/ Lao restaurant. It was worth a try though!

I asked the server for recommendations on the menu, but she seemed startled by my question, like she was not used to giving recommendations. The two items that she did recommend didn't really sound appealing so I went with Pad See Ew with mock duck. That's one of my go to dishes at a Thai restaurant. I asked not to have any spice level added to my food, but the food came out and was just generally lacking flavor. It was very bland and even though there was a generous portion of vegetables in the dish the mock duck was super mushy. All the places I've ever been to it's sautéed crispy. Also, the the noodles were all stuck together. Like if you put noodles in water to let it boil, but you don't stir them and they just boil like that in a clump. The restaurant was very cute inside. I would be open to trying it again just because I've heard so many good things that I can't believe this is their standard experience.
