The service was wonderful and they were so helpful and accommodating of my allergies. Plus the food was absolutely delicious 😋 I had to go back for more of the sticky rice and fried banana before I left town. I highly recommend this place.

I have been eating at Thai Time for over 10 years and have always been very happy. Several weeks ago I ordered my regular curry and was disappointed to find that chopped kaffir lime leaves had been added. They are very hard, fibrous, and tough and are very unpleasant to eat. Maybe they had hired a new chef who didn’t know that kaffir line leaves aren’t exactly meant to be eaten? Or better yet, maybe it was just a simple mistake? I waited a couple of weeks and ordered again. It wasn’t a mistake unfortunately. It happened again. I complained, which after working in the restaurant industry myself for over 26 years was actually rather difficult and rare. I was told that next time I should specifically request that 1000 tiny, hard, fibrous, tough shredded tree leaves NOT be added to my meal. Yep, I could absolutely do that. Or I could order from a different Thai restaurant where the chef understands that kaffir lime leaves are meant to be added whole during the cooking process and then easily removed before serving because no one in their right mind wants to suffer through trying to force down a bowl of tree leaf curry 🤷‍♀️ I’ve chosen to do the latter.

Wonderful little Thai Bistro to eat!! Food was so very tastful and was served hot, not luke warm. Every bite had flavor! Had the Spicy Pad Thai and the Sesame Chicken, plus appetizers. Great place for a date night eat. Would definitely recommend it!

I used to LOVE this place. It was my favorite restaurant in this town, but their prices have gone way up and their portion sizes have gone way down. I can support raising prices, but I cant support raising them and also cutting portions in half. I will just have to take my business elsewhere.

Overall I really liked the place but if I could give it no stars I would simply because when I ate here it gave me food poisoning now that could have been a freak accident but I’m just raising awareness

Super tiny restaurant barely any cars in the parking lot but the place was packed. Had maybe 5-7 tables for seating. Left the restaurant due to being crowded and anxiety

What a delicious and simple dinner. It may look small from the outside but there is a good amount of indoor seating. The ambiance is quaint and delightful. The food and flavors are delicious. Our dishes were very mild but you can order a spicier dish (menu is labeled with spice levels) I personally wish I tried a spicer version! They mean it when they say mild is mild. The Thai Time curry, yellow curry, and green curry are all vegetarian. This was a great place to stop by to get that warm, cozy, and wholesome dinner feel.

One of the worst Massaman curries I’ve ever had.

The absolute best place to go!

I can’t say enough how much I love this restaurant and every single dish on their menu is absolutely delicious and amazing. There is not other place I will eat at. Everytime we are planning to have take out this is the place I make everyone go to. My four year old will only eat crab Rangoon from here. He’s obsessed.

The food was fresh, delicious, and flavorful!! Nothing to complain about. The price may keep me saving this place for a treat, but I understand everything is going up.

Ordered to go and the experience was great over the phone and in person! The food was great! Loved the soup with tomatoes and mushroom, the Thai Time Curry and the Mango Sticky Rice! Delicious. Just a traveler but will come back when in town!
