Noodles near El Cajon, CA

“I have been craving good Thai for a few years. I have tried some not good and some okay other places. Thai Time is so good. The aromas of the spices tortured my already empty stomach with the enticement of good food to come. I have fallen in love with the food and customer service. I will be back as my budget allows.“

“good food and awesome customer service“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“Love you food! The dumplings are perfect! The Dan Dan noodles are a family favorite and I can’t get enough of the chili wonton! Love you guys!“

“Excellent food. We ordered the creamy bun (hot creamy lightly sweet excellent) bbq pork bun (a little sweet for my taste but still really good fluffy delicious), scallion pancake (could have had more scallion but it was really crispy!), sezchuan chili oil wonton (lightly spicy and numbing really good wonton with the peanut!) the dandan noodles (very nutty delicious noodles) and the Xiao long bao (delicious hot and the ginger was fresh) Was really pleased about the scan to order at the table! Really fast service too. Came in on a rainy cold day, left warm full and happy. Would definitely come back!“

““It smells good in here! “that was so yummy and delicious!” all and more was said by my 3 year old. So he gives 5 stars. I really liked the food too. Our third time here and each time good service and delicious food. Will def be back. Thanks!“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“Enjoy the pho 🍜 at this restaurant is very delicious 🤤“

“My order was for takeout....and it was ready right on time. Everything was absolutely delicious and prices were good! The Satay chicken was tender and flavorful....Pad Woon Sen was fresh and light with crispy vegetables. Cream cheese wontons were great and served as dessert. The portions were generous with plenty left over for a second meal. Pretty sure Little Thai Kitchen is now my favorite Thai food spot!😊“

“Great portions and great taste. Very friendly servers, I recommend.“

“Legit!! Had the shrimp and pork dumplings, chili wontons, scallion pancake beef roll, spicy cucumbers, and sauteed broccoli.

New owners were super nice. Only feedback is that the acoustics are rough - it's loud in there.“

“the service is great and fast plus the food is awesome 👌 💯“

“This restaurant provides a consistently great experience every time I visit. The food is always fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, with balanced flavors that suit a wide range of preferences. The service is quick, efficient, and very polite. The restaurant itself is clean, organized, and comfortable. Whether dining alone or with family, it’s always a satisfying experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and reliable service.“

“Been eating here since I was about 5, now at 40 I could finish their bowl on my own thank goodness ?, thank goodness the flavor is still the same. Same owners/cook since i was 5,. Tried other restaurants in LA china town and still not as good as this one. Even though i live farther away mow, i still drive there to get their special noodle soup (been eating since i was 5), eveyone i introduced this restuarant too now loves it. People who loves pho, once they try there noodles soup they can't do pho anymore. Fried egg noodles soup also to die for, including their thick fried noodles, i can go on forever with all their different dishes that will show you what asain/homemade style food is. I've tasted many different chinese food from here to Seattle/Mexicali and this to me is still the restaurant that others try to match up too. ??????“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“Excellent 🍲 Pho, the spring rolls are very good. The place is small but very cozy.“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“This is a great place with delicious food! The pot stickers were my kid's favorite! They ordered 4 helpings. When asked if they wanted dessert the kids asked for more pot stickers instead. I had the mango ice cream and it was outstanding! Our server was so kind and helpful. She thoroughly explained the menu choices and spice levels. Beautiful place with relaxing music. Our family will be back again for sure!“

“The food is great and this place is an institution. I’m mainly leaving a review here because someone left a review saying they found “cartilage” in their noodle dish… those pieces in the picture are clearly squid. The person who ordered must never have seen squid before.“

“Good food, lots of selection. place is clean and good service.“

“Classic..................“

“Food was fresh and delicious“

“I came here with my family, and was meet with the most perfect service and food. The food was so good, and the portions were huge for just a good price! I highly recommend coming here. I am definitely coming back here again. One thing is that we were seated right by the DJ and i couldnt hear my family talk. It was extremely loud.“

“Wonderful food and service. Reasonable prices. Great presentation. Best fresh spring rolls I've had in a long time. A neighborhood gem! We'll be back.

Dietary restrictions: GF options not posted on the menu but they were able to accommodate my request.“

“For the owner/manager, please respond if seen:

Ordered dinner from here to-go as we live about 25 minutes away. My family ate at Panda Country Restaurant in Clairemont for generations back to my great-grandparents. I so miss the old-school decor with the slanted roof, dark woods, tons of rich artwork everywhere. We were sad and disappointed when they decided to close during covid, although they always seemed to have customers when we went for our to-go orders during that time.

Heard through the grapevine that this restaurant had new ownership in Santee. Noticed in the review photos some of the same artwork, metal kettles of complimentary jasmine tea that came with every order for dine-in, same menu and emblem design.

Ordered some of our “usuals” that I was raised on:

- Orange Chicken - tasted nearly the same as I remember but needs more dried orange peels (they make all the difference!) and they used to put whole red peppers. It was tasty but there needs to be more sauce and the sauce used to be thicker and richer in flavor.

- Almond Chicken - had large zucchini slices which was fine and the chicken was in larger slices than they used to be which used to be more of a strip style. Loved that almonds were in it but they used to put tons of sliced, halved almonds. It came with whole almonds with the skin still on, please remove the skins! Again, there could be more sauce as well as thicker and richer in flavor.

- Mongolian Beef - this probably resembled the most to how I remember this recipe. We have had a hard time finding it with green onions elsewhere, which we love! Onions could be sliced a little smaller and the sauce a little thicker and richer in flavor. But it was good!

- Egg Flower soup - very similar in flavor but needs a little more egg in it and they never used to put corn. There were small bits of corn, not bad, but not what I grew up with and miss. Do not overdo it with the gelatin in making the broth too thick. I saw this in another review too.

I think we will order from here again, but would love to see everything resemble the greatness of what these recipes once were. I think everything could use a little more salt too. Sorry to see that some reviews mentioned undercooked food. The meat all seemed well-cooked for our order, so I hope they have since made changes.

P.S. I didn’t see it on the menu, but PLEASE bring back the Shrimp Toast. Also, the ginger slices in vinegar, red cherry applesauce, and hot mustard if you don’t already still have it. Absolutely LOVED the Shrimp Toast as a little girl.“

“staff was warm and welcoming as we walked in. Super fast service, 3 different staff check on us to see if we needed anything. food came out in correct order, fresh, and hot! was a nice time. They even said thank you and goodbye on the way out which was nice. first time my hubby and I ate here, we will be back 😋“
