We ordered Thai Time last night for delivery. Their website boasts "best Thai restaurant in Worcester". Someone's confident.
They have a ton of appetizers: two types of rolls with chicken, pork dumplings, wings, crab rangoon, and edamame, crispy brussels sprouts, golden triangles, scallion pancakes, and chive pancakes for us herbivores. They also have samplers for both meat-eaters and vegetarians which is my FAVORITE THING bc who the fuck can choose?
They have salads and soups and "noddles" (website menu) and fried rice with the classics pad thai, pad see u, drunken noodles, fried rice, basil fried rice, etc. They also have all the classic curries you would expect from a thai restaurant. Additionally, there's a bunch of "special" dishes with stir fries of various sauces and your choice of protein.
We ordered the brussels sprouts (always, you understand), the veggie appetizer sampler, and my usual penang curry. Tina ordered "see you in 'kale'" which is a play on words of which I am not familiar. I realized only after the order was delivered that we FORGOT THE SCALLION PANCAKES. Ugh.
Food came actually much quicker than the standard hour.
The brussels sprouts were ok, doused in a sauce that I knew would raise my blood pressure with the sodium but I mean, what do I expect ordering out. They weren't particularly crisp. I did appreciate their presence on the menu as a healthier option.
The appetizer sampler was also just ok. The spring rolls were crunchy but not particularly flavorful. The golden triangles are like samosas with potato, peas, and carrots and these were pretty good. I've had better elsewhere. The tofu triangles are tasteless without sauce. There are definitely better appetizer platters at other places in the area.
The penang curry was the best dish of the meal. The sauce is delicious and packs a flavor punch. I ordered mine with tofu which was plentiful and came with broccoli, peppers, something else that I am unsure of the identity but I felt like I really missed string beans or snow peas. Nevertheless, the sauce is really delicious and pairs nicely with rice when you eat all the good shit in it.
Tina's "see you in kale" was very subpar. I again appreciated a healthier option and a way to get my greens in but it just wasn't good. The noodles are thick, flat, and stick together to form a noodle glob. I didn't enjoy this at all.
I probably will take my thai needs elsewhere but if you enjoy this place, the penang curry is a must order. read more
