The food is delicious! Great price, portions and flavor! Don't skip out on the ice cream. My move is to order take out (regularly) and get a cone to go. Everyone who works here is kind and the food is fresh and yummy! I love Thai food and I love Thai Time. Get it. read more

Here's a polished, natural-sounding version of your review while keeping your voice and enthusiasm: Review If you ever find yourself on this side of town--or if you happen to live in the area--you have to stop at this restaurant and ice cream spot. Yesterday, I found myself out this way, which almost never happens, and I was really craving some ice cream. I decided to give this place a try, and I'm so glad I did. This quaint little place is incredibly cute and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I walked in--you're immediately greeted by the most delicious smell. I honestly wish I had already eaten lunch so I could have tried more from the menu. Even so, I did get ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who asks! read more

It's not many places I enjoy but this is definitely one of them. Food is excellent, the atmosphere is more so mom and pop but still cool. The service is quick precise and they are nice. read more

Food was amazing!! Prices just a touch high but we will be back! We enjoyed all of the items we tried read more

Thai Time - Thai Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

See all

Had high hopes looking at the pictures for this place. Let me start off by saying how HOT it was in here, there was no air conditioning and we had to ask for them to turn the fan on and even that was barely working. It's a hole in the wall kind of spot. We ordered the Thai tea, tom kha soup, drunken noodle & Panang curry. The Thai tea hit the spot and was super refreshing considering how hot it was in there. The tom kha soup was honestly super filling, I think 2 people could've definitely shared that. It was not as coconut creamy as I've had from other places. The drunken noodles were good, very eggy and sweet. I would order this dish again. Panang curry was alright, not really flavorful at all. We ordered everything with mild spice & I'll say there's a slight kick which I thought was just right. However with the heat in the place even that started to become unbearable. read more

Thai Time - The ice cream and also menus and things like that - Thai Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

5-stars for the food! It was really good. The portion size was very large. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired. For some reason, if you order online, it is cheaper than ordering at the counter. I believe it is 20% less online. read more

Very delicious Thai food in the Knoxville area. We looked around and didn't find many Thai places near where we were, so we ventured out and found this little gem in the remnants of an old ice cream parlor. (They still sell ice cream there) The food was delicious and the portions were huge. The pad Thai was more red (maybe tomato based sauce) than I was used to but still very good. I got the drunken noodles, my Thai restaurant go-to, and it was one of the best I've had. Enjoy the Thai, and grab yourself a scoop of cookies and cream for the road. read more

When you are Asian and you have been out without Asian food (especially rice) for longer than 8 hours, you will drive to find it. Luckily we found Thai Time. If you explore Knoxville, go to Thai Time to relax and get a nice authenticate dish. Very friendly staff! In this little town, this is a hole-in-the-wall type of authentic Thai food. AND ice cream too! read more

Thai Time - a bicycle in the back of a truck - Thai Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We ate lunch there. One guy was washing noodles in the sink without gloves. He let the hot water from the faucet run over his bare hands into the noodles. Then his used his bare hands to mix the noodles. He left the noodles in a colander next to the sink the whole time we were there and washed dirty dishes in the sink next to it. When the food came I couldn't eat so I took it to go. My wife ate but got sick a few hours later. I threw my food in the trash. We will never eat there again! read more

Order the Yellow Curry from Uber Eats. I've eaten curry hundreds of times, in multiple states and multiple countries... and no exaggeration, this was the worst curry I've ever had in my entire life. Watery with absolute zero curry flavor. Tasted like spicy water. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Fantastic food with fantastic staff! I eat here every "Thai Tuesday" the food is hot and ready with a building full of smiling faces! Great Atmosphere for dining with a great menu to choose from! -Luke read more

Phenomenal takeout! I have never eaten in the restaurant, but I have ordered take out plenty of times. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and packed with care. They go above and beyond to ensure your food makes it home with you in the way it left the restaurant. We love the Thom Khaa, Pad Thai, and Khai Soi. read more

When you have a roach bug taking a stroll up the wall, it doesn't really speak well for the cleanliness of your restaurant. Health Dept. really, really needs to check in on this place. read more

One of the best-kept secrets in South Knoxville! The food is superb, the service is excellent, and we will keep on coming back. (Our favorites are the pad Thai and drunken noodles.) read more

After one meal, this has become our favorite Thai restaurant in Knoxville. The food is excellent. Nice portions and good pricing. the drunken noodles are amazing and their pad is as well often delivery pad Thai sticky and dry, but there's. we've never dined in only delivery and it's been amazing every time read more

Great Thai hidden gem, friendly staff and a great place to try something new! Bring a few friends so you can taste different stuff!

My favorite Thai food in Knoxville! Don't look over this gem. Delicious Khao Soi. They also have boba!

Happy anniversary Thai Time (South Knoxville in the space that used to be Kay's before they closed). We just ordered a bunch of carryout at 50% off for their anniversary. Ton of good food and the revelation was their new curry puffs. Sort of lands a bit like a cross between a veggie samosa and pakora but really it is their own thing that they recently invented and it is Delicious! read more

We love Asian food and being originally from the San Francisco Bay Area we have eaten ALOT of Thai food! Thai Time is an excellent addition to the growing list of new restaurants popping up in the area! We really enjoyed the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, spring rolls and Drunken Noodles! Ordering online was super simple but order early as the kitchen is super busy during dinner hours. We will definitely be making more trips to Thai Time. They even still sell ice cream so consider a scoop too! read more

We decided to order from Uber Eats and found Thai time. Its a fairly new resturant we had seen but hadn't tried before. We ordered sweet and sour chicken and Pad Gra Kao (hope thats spelled correctly). When ordering we were given several options to choose meats and types of rice. It was easy to modify the order to get what we wanted. The food arrived quickly and was packaged in containers that kept it warm and neat. The food was very good and tasted like fresh, instead of precooked. I really enjoyed the meal and will order from them in the future. read more

Visited this spot twice & the experience was pleasant both times. I ordered the Pad See Ew & the sauce was perfectly savory & the noodles and vegetables were cooked just right. I've experienced most Thai spots in the area & the dishes rank top three, and it's not three nor two. The staff was very friendly & were accommodating to a dairy allergy that I have, which makes the experience that much more reassuring & comforting. The waiters checked on us often. This place is truly a hole-in-the wall gem on Chapman Hwy. It's ambience is a cozy diner vibes with booths. I enjoyed & definitely will be back again! read more

This place is exactly what we were looking for. The staff is super nice and drunken noodles were amazing! We will be back!

I've stopped in two times now for takeout and it was terrific both times. Drunken noodles and pad Thai are delicious. Of the four spicy levels we tried one above mild and it was perfect for my group. Thom Khaa and Thom Yum soups are also top notch. Just wonderful! read more

This cozy little restaurant opened up where an ice cream parlor used to be. Me and my wife enjoy Thai food so we decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad we did! Perfect sticky rice, delicious noodles and expertly prepared bubble tea. The staff was friendly and attentive and the restaurant was spotless. This will be our new Thai place! read more

Nice to have a non-fast food, non-chain restaurant in South Knoxville. Have only been there twice for takeout. Food was good. Especially like the Drunken Noodles. Have ordered twice. One order was enough for two of us. Also had the chicken wings which were fine. Soups are good. Decor is weird (basically still the old Kay's colors and restaurant set up). Still have the ice cream counter. They seem to be busy when we drive by. Still miss Kay's and Scott's. But I'll happily support this restaurant regularly to ensure a independent restaurant close to home. read more

Don't this small business fool you. The food is always hot and delicious. However, I drove past it the first time because it still has the ice cream parlor signs and motifs outside. I eat here every time I visit Knoxville read more

The pad Thai is red and has a ton of paprika in it which I'm not used to. I would not recommend it. The crab rangoons and spring rolls were okay. The pho has basil which I'm also not used to. But the Roth was yummy. The fried rice was our favorite. We will probably try other Thai places before we come back here. read more

Stopped in while in town. Great food, friendly folks. You know you want some noodles.

Ordered pad thai, a curry dish, pad prik khing, Tom kha soup and spring rolls; everything was severed hot and delicious! Cant wait to eat at Thai Time again soon. read more

Best Thai Food I've had in Knoxville! Large portions, and excellent service! We get take out here often! A must try!
