Convenience given the location. Do not order any soup listed as chicken soup. Literally, 2 pieces of chicken and mostly chicken byproduct. Disgusting feel and taste to the mouth ?? Boiled chicken skin instead of chicken meat used. Better, if they charged a little more and gave option for dark or white chicken meat. This NEVER okay! It’s seriously gross! What you see in picture only part of it. That’s the boiled skin!

When I went, the restaurant was warm as it seems that there was no AC. The Penang curry was too sweet and the spring rolls had a salad mix instead of herbs. If you're looking for authentic, I would look elsewhere.
The atmosphere felt like a diner and many of the utensils/bowls were disposable or plastic.
The prices are ok.

Pad see eww and chicken yellow curry is not spicy, our daughter was able to enjoy it. The som tom (thai papaya salad) was also good and not too overpowering with fish sauce. They have side sauces to adjust the heat level to your liking.

If you love Thai food like I do, you should definitely try Thai Time 3 (TT3). This unassuming restaurant, a bit off the beaten path (in the back of a Clairemont mall, off Genesee and Balboa, with not the best up-close parking), is currently my favorite Thai in the entire country, though I have to admit I haven't given LA a chance yet... And, not sure how you heat-seeking/spicy folks will like it, as I saw a one-star review of them that must have been from a heat lover or competitor?, but their mild (read least hot; I think they use a 1-3 scale), food, is the best Thai, and some of the best restaurant food overall, I've ever had. What passes for heat at other Thai restaurants, here, is replaced by an amazing subtlety of flavors, with each dish I've tried so far, revealing several distinct layers of flavor over time. For instance I'm a curry guy, who doesn't normally eat the noodle dishes, and my go-to green curry here was bordering on the over-the-top richness of a "Legal Seafood's" NE clam chowder (for you Boston folk), with fresh tender (thank you) mint, and exquisitely marinated eggplant you don't often get in curries... a first for me was no green beans weirdly though, but I didn't miss them. and their "Pad See Ew?" which I find bland and unappealing elsewhere, was amazing enough to make me switch my usual order on a second visit - it was sweet and smoky with other indescribable flavors in between.The only thing I would improve maybe was the quality/supplier of the mock duck, but I could get real duck to fix that -- Maybe it's me, but I'm pretty sure less 'spongy' mock duck exists. [E.g., Taiwanese mock meats are amazing!]) But. it was ok for what it is... but please don't shortchange your vegetarians...) To counter that, the hostess was amazingly nice, helpful and knowledgable about the food.With Thai being my go-to "exotic" meal, I've been fortunate to try it all over the country (Boston, Dallas, DC, SF, New Orleans,) and while, at it's worst, it's still great -- why I love it -- Thai Time 3 was the first Thai place I've come across, with an expansive, notably different approach to the flavors, (don't worry the flavors will still be the classics you love, but with lots more depth). To put it another way -- the only difference in quality between Thai restaurant I've seen normally is in quality-of-ingredients, as opposed to better, surprising flavors. Maybe it's more like like a chef's approach to a genre that can sometimes rest on its laurels - lackluster dry chicken, etc, TT3'a approach is unique -- and especially appreciated in a rising-price environment, where you can get okay green curries from a jar. (I have to say that I'm sensitive to MSG, and it'd be embarrassing if that's the special sauce, didn't seem like it, as I didn't feel any effects, so maybe the owner will address that in a response.) Anyhow, getting something special from a meal out these days is appreciated. (Better stop dad-ologuing...) My complements to the chef....

Very delicious, and tasty, a very clean place and phenomenal service.
Parking: It is a very large parking lot behind the medical offices.
Came around 3pm, drove about 20 minutes to this location only to be yelled at WERE CLOSED when I walk in. That’s fine that you adjust hours for breaks, but edit them on google and yelp and other apps where people check so you can save people a trip.This used to be my favorite Thai place pre-covid but it’s apparent they really don’t care about their customers anymore.
