"Absolutely one of my and my wife's favorite places to eat. This specific restaurant, this specific address, these specific employees create a wonderful dining experience. I am always delighted by the speed at which the food arrives at my table, and my wife is always astounded at the speed at which the food then enters my mouth. The food never disappoints. This must be the greatest Thai restaurant in the U.S. Jolly good show."
"We stumbled across this little tucked away treasure about 12 years ago and have been regulars since. This quiet little restaurant has authentic Thai food with delicious, savory, and flavorful meals. You can choose something light and vegetarian, or hearty and fulfilling from their choice of soups, appetizers, veggies, noodles, rice, and meats. We always get the Tom yum soup, spicy noodle, heavenly chicken (similar to orange chicken), and stuffed cream cheese wontons. The friendly staff has been here forever and they remember us after so many years, always friendly and smiling. The meals come out very fast, so it’s perfect if you’re in a rush or super hungry. The portions are all large and shareable. This beautifully decorated restaurant is a must try if you want some really delicious food. Right across the street from parkway plaza mall."
"I'm hooked! Thai Time in El Cajon has become my go-to spot for authentic Thai cuisine. I've been back so many times, I've lost count! The warm and inviting atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in Thailand, but it's the incredible food that keeps me coming back for more. From the crispy Tod Mun to the fragrant and flavorful Pad Thai, every dish is a masterclass in balance and flavor. And don't even get me started on the Pad See Iew - it's a game-changer! The freshness and quality of the ingredients shine through in every bite. The service is top-notch, with very friendly and attentive staff who know their menu inside and out. They're always happy to make recommendations or accommodate special requests. I've tried other Thai restaurants in the area, but none compare to Thai Time. I'm a loyal customer for life! If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and get thee to Thai Time - your taste buds will thank you!"
"Small dining room, nicley decorated. The food was served quickly, hot and very sizeable portions. The thai tea was hugè and delicious. Friendly service."
"It's a good Thai place! The server was very courteous and reasonably attentive. They don't play music and during the day, the place is pretty much just lit with the sunlight coming in from the full glass walls, so the ambiance is what you make of it. Now onto the food! It's in fairly large portions, so you could easily split a entree like curry or An Entire Fish with a friend. That's not what my friend and I did, though. Nope, they managed to down An Entire Fish (the pampano?) and I ate half my pineapple curry and rice and took the rest home. Both were delicious and full of sauce and protein and Flavor. Delightful. I had mock duck and it was very flavorful in conjunction with the curry, with decent enough texture of its own, given that it was made of tofu! For packaging, they don't use styrofoam cuz this is California, thank heck. But they do use plastic, so maybe bring your own collapsible silicone containers if lowering your waste output matters to you!"
