    Don't let the aesthetic fool you! This may be a little old school in a strip mall, but the food and service was great. First of all, look at the size of the menu! Options for everybody. Now onto the food: I was craving cozy, so I started with a tom kha. It was 10/10! Many tom khas have too much cream overpowering the flavors, but this was creamy and flavorful, with just a touch of warming spice. I also got the spicy noodle (they have spice levels to choose from), and it was delicious as well, with generous portion of tofu. I appreciated the vetetarian options with mock meat and tofu. They also offered fresh table condiments like sweet chili sauce and chili vinegar. Service was friendly and quick. Gotta give them some love. I came in for a quick dinner, and there was only one other person dining in!

    Spinach Noodle - Lunch Special
    Zen C.

    Thai Time 3 has been one of my two go to Thai spots for over a year now, mainly for their lunch special. The food tastes great, is well priced, and the staff is consistent and accommodating. In a year, I have never had a meal I was unsatisfied about. I've tried (too?) many Thai places in San Diego, TT3's consistency and price is unmatched. It is one of those local "hole in the wall" joints that you want to keep to yourself but you tell people because they deserve the customers.

    The food here is okay. The place is a little run down. The service was good. The ambiance was okay. There's parking out front. The red curry was very good but it was served in a paper bowl which took away from the quality i'd say. The sweet and sour chicken was just okay.

    "4" Shrimp Pad Thai - Tasty but could use another "3" shrimp
    Brian P.

    Overall I would recommend this place as the food is good, the booths are comfortable and the service and prices were decent. My only complaint was the amount of shrimp in my Pad Thai- the dish only came with 4 shrimp, call me picky but if you're going to change me for a particular Protien then give me enough to complement the carb...5 to 7 shrimp depending on the size should be the minimum...this would have pushed them from 3 to 4 stars easily.

    Thai Time III is a go-to for take-out nights when I stay with friends in Clairemont. Hard to beat their prices and speed for the quality! Wish I had a place like TT III in my neighborhood in the Bay. We usually get their pad thai, fried appetizers, curries, fried rice, and Thai tea. For the lunch entree with pad thai, an egg roll, and small salad, it's $12.50! The staff are always super quick and welcoming when we stop by. Parking is also easy in the complex. One of our favorite weeknight spots.

    Pad thai with chicken
    Casey Z.

    Love this place! :) Stopped by for their lunch specials this week & they were tasty plus reasonably priced, compared to other restaurants in the area. We ordered the pad thai with chicken and pineapple fried rice with beef. Service was great and we parked right in front of the restaurant via a shared plaza parking lot with lots of spaces. Ambiance was cozy, lots of natural light in the afternoon & not super crowded. Excited to come back to try out all of the different types of lunch specials they have available (22 variations, to be exact lol)!

    Food was delicious and tasty, the Thai tea was very refreshing. We went during lunch time and were given a free vegetable roll and salad with our entrees. Overall a good experience.

    Food and service is amazing, Miriam our server is very friendly. I ordered shrimp fried rice and it is delicious.

    Great little spot and excellent service. Quick and simple little Thai food spot with a very large menu.

    A cold Friday night asks for the coconut Thai soup. The boyfriend and I went to another one next to his place but it was packed so we decided to try this one. Did not realize it was super casual, kind of like a diner place. We ordered jasmine tea expecting the teapot and the little cups and hot too homie, tea from sachet in a mug. Oh well. The spring rolls both the hot and the cold ones were really good. The soup was not great. Never saw imitation crab in one of those soups and very little seafood even though it was the one with seafood. It was good to share though. Very friendly and super fast service.

    Papaya Salad
    Christine T.

    Got pad thai (spicy) and papaya salad (medium spice) delivered. Papaya salad was just OK. The texture seemed a little limp. The tomatos were great though. The pad thai was also just OK. It needed more tamarind and salt. In regards to spice level, it is on the weaker side so if you like spice, get the extra spicy.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share my experience dining here with my family…read more The evening started off great. The staff was friendly when we arrived, we were seated quickly, received our drinks promptly, and our food came out fast. The music was enjoyable, the ambiance was nice, and the restaurant had a modern, welcoming feel. Most importantly, the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious, and my kids couldn't stop talking about the crispy pork belly. Honestly, the food itself was 5-star quality. The issue was what happened as the restaurant approached closing time. About 10-15 minutes after we started eating, a staff member brought our check and asked us to pay even though we were still waiting on two mango sticky rice desserts that had not yet been served. I politely explained that we hadn't received all of our food yet, so it didn't make sense to close out the bill. The desserts were brought out shortly afterward. A different employee then returned and again asked us to close out the check, assuring us that we could continue eating while they finished closing. Although I was hesitant, I paid and explained that I would leave a cash tip after we finished since we were still dining. Unfortunately, from that point on, the service noticeably changed. No one checked on our table, our water glasses were never refilled, and the staff seemed focused on cleaning around us. The booth behind us was being cleaned very loudly while we were still trying to enjoy our meal. It made us feel rushed and unwelcome, and honestly took away from an otherwise great dinner. When I asked for containers for our leftovers, the interaction felt cold and standoffish compared to the friendly service we received earlier in the evening. My suggestion would be that if the restaurant is close to closing and doesn't want guests dining in, they should clearly communicate that and switch to takeout only. The food was genuinely delicious, and I would come back again--but not near closing time. Great food, disappointing end to the evening.

We were lucky and were able to grab the spot right out front. For drinks we each ordered a cocktail. It did take a bit for them to come out but once they did you can tell time and effort were put into making them. They were beautiful and all tasted great. We ordered 4 dishes to share, the wasabi scallop ceviche, crispy baby crab, braised beef panang, and crab fried rice. The ceviche was definitely one of my favorites. Super flavorful, fresh, with the perfect amount of wasabi. The crispy baby crab was savory and easy to eat, especially since you're eating the whole crab, shell and all. The curry in the braised beef panang was so addicting, I couldn't stop eating it. The crab fried rice was tasty and filling. For dessert we got the mango sticky rice. The mangoes were fresh and sweet. Overall pretty standard but still yummy. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive. All the food came out in the timely manner. The vibe of the restaurant is casual but can be a little dressy for a nice date. Overall I definitely recommend a try here.

I went with one of my girlfriends tonight at about 5:30 PM. We were quickly seated. I ordered a mango lemonade, which came out quite fast and was beautiful. It tasted pretty good too. I asked the server for recommendations on the menu, but she seemed startled by my question, like she was not used to giving recommendations. The two items that she did recommend didn't really sound appealing so I went with Pad See Ew with mock duck. That's one of my go to dishes at a Thai restaurant. I asked not to have any spice level added to my food, but the food came out and was just generally lacking flavor. It was very bland and even though there was a generous portion of vegetables in the dish the mock duck was super mushy. All the places I've ever been to it's sautéed crispy. Also, the the noodles were all stuck together. Like if you put noodles in water to let it boil, but you don't stir them and they just boil like that in a clump. The restaurant was very cute inside. I would be open to trying it again just because I've heard so many good things that I can't believe this is their standard experience.

When we ordered, our server took the time to explain their spice scale (1-5), letting us know that a 1 is already about a medium spice level. We settled on mostly 2-3, but wow--the Thum Khao Poon (shredded green papaya salad) still packed some serious heat! Even my spice-loving kids were challenged. The server also gave us a heads-up that it's very fish-forward in flavor, which we appreciated and happened to love. The absolute standout of the meal was the Nam Khao Tod. It was hands down the family favorite--crispy coconut rice with pork sausage, crunchy peanuts, fresh herbs, and so many incredible textures and flavors in every bite. We could have ordered a second plate! We also had the Drunken Noodles with chicken, which were slightly oily in the best possible way, making them extra rich and delicious. The Chef's Special Basil Stir Fry with Crispy Pork was another winner. Our server brought over a chili vinegar that elevated the crispy pork to a whole new level--it was so good drizzled over every bite. Great food, thoughtful service, and plenty of dishes we're already looking forward to trying next time. Can't wait to come back!
