Maybe the best pad thai I have ever had. Delicious food, amazing service, and such a nice environment. I love this place

Dined in on a Sunday night around 8 pm. My server was very friendly & all the food came out piping hot! The inside is so charming with great music. They have all the classic Thai dishes with great flavor. Crab Rangoons 10/10: far more real crab flavor than I've had with any other rangoons & the sauces are unique & tasty Pad Se Lew 9/10: great texture, nice big pieces of beef, great spice Panang Curry 8/10: great flavor overall but could be slightly more flavorful, nice portion size, & good balance of chicken to vegetables Mango Sticky Rice 10/10: perfect ripe mango & yummy sticky rice Great presentation on dishes as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Ok first time here. Interior is sooo cute! I guess they recently got renovated from what I hear but no clue what it looked like before. Plenty of seating for any group size. A pretty good menu with something for everyone! Including a nice specialty menu. I got pad thai with tofu (one of my go tos) no spice since i was sharing with my son. I will say some of the menu items seem overpriced and steep. Luckily this one I seemed fair. The portion size was pretty good and it was so yellow in person! But I loved it! Sooo going and moist! I would def come back to order that! My cousin got the pad see eww with steak. Medium spice. It was unique in that it had both Chinese and regular broccoli! Overall pretty good even tho this is a dish I don't usually get. The steak slicked were kinda big and slightly thick which my cousin loved (esp for herself whereas I prefer thinner cuts). My mom got the orange chicken with a side of brown rice. That one I feel was a bit expensive. She asked for medium spice but we couldn't taste it anywhere. The chicken was good but I'd say not amazing and wouldn't get it again. It tasted to me like the orange chicken you get at me of the fast food take Chinese restaurants. Not horrible but not worth the price for that dish. That's all we got, I'd come again to try other items! I will say that their restroom might need some help. It wasn't bad but there were no seat covers (which I feel it definitely should be there). And additionally they did happen to have a changing table but honestly that table is set too high! Especially considering I'm short under 5 feet I would not be able to use it. I didn't get a pic but I think they had it placed higher due to the wall set up like there was a wood bar decor in the middle so they put it above. Honestly even for a normal height individual I think that it's placed too high. Not useable at all and a potential safety issue because if there was a fall it's quite high. As a mom, these are things we think about. So yes happy to have a changing table but that just shouldn't by that high up. Hopefully they can move it lower. Overall, I will prob return read more

So I've eaten from Thai time twice and this review is for *delivery only.* I have no complaints for the dine in dining as I've gone there with a friend before and all the food was great. It wasn't out of this world for Thai food, but it wasn't a miss. I do love that their curry option with tofu is actually fried tofu and not regular tofu. I would give this place a four for dine in. Back to the delivery order -- Since I've been here before, and I saw the option to order Thai time for delivery to my hotel, I thought this was a safe option. I only ordered. Pad see ew and the meat to noodle ratio was not great. The meat was really tough and dry. This is coming from someone who eats pad see ew to you all the time and also makes it. I also put it in the notes to give me utensils and napkins since I am at a hotel and there was nothing provided inside the bag at all. I didn't order during prime time or anything. As I travel to San Diego for work frequently and stay at a nearby hotel -- I will note to not order delivery from here ever again potentially just stop by! xx April 2026 read more

The food was absolutely amazing. We did take out so I can't comment on service or ambiance. I had the crab fried rice and it was delicious.

This was my 2nd visit to Thai Time North Park and again the service and food was delicious and welcoming. Knot was our server so friendly with a smile. The Pad Thai was the best I've ever had and I liked it so much that I ordered a 2nd one to go. Immortal Beef was so tender and the vegetables cooked perfectly served on a sizzling plate. So happy to have an authentic restaurant like this in San Diego! I'll definitely be back again. read more

Thai Time is an excellent choice if you live in North Park. I've dined in and ordered takeout, and I can't believe I walked past this place thousands of times before finally trying it. My go‑to Thai spot is usually in Normal Heights and more of a takeout‑only vibe, so I wanted something a little more formal where you can sit down, have a drink, and enjoy the full experience. The menu is extensive -- truly something for everyone. They also have a full bar and a great happy hour. On our most recent visit, we caught the tail end of happy hour and ordered a couple of Tsing Tao beers (love pairing an Asian beer with Thai food) along with some apps. I appreciate that they have a printed happy hour menu right on the table -- easy to read and easy to order from. They also always have a specialty menu. I came in the fall for my birthday and they had a seasonal fall drink and food menu. This time, they had a February Valentine's special. The main menu is on a scannable QR code, and everything is clearly organized and easy to navigate. For entrées, we ordered the green curry and orange chicken, and for dessert -- obviously -- mango sticky rice. A Thai meal feels incomplete without it. What amazes me about this place is how fast the food comes out and how fresh and hot everything is. A pet peeve of mine is lukewarm food -- I need it sizzling -- and they deliver every time. Each dish came out quickly and was tasty. The only thing I'd note is the orange chicken had way too much sauce for my preference -- very sticky -- so next time I'd ask for sauce on the side or "easy sauce." The green curry portion was HUGE, like truly the biggest portion I've ever gotten at a Thai restaurant. Even at mild, it was pretty spicy for us, so next time I'd do no spice and add chili on the side. Food is priced appropriately. The ambiance is cozy with nice lighting and comfortable seating. This place gets a lot of to‑go and delivery orders, so keep that in mind if you're doing takeout -- honestly, dining in is usually faster for us. A solid neighborhood Thai spot with great service, fast food, and tons of options. read more

Thai Time is a solid spot for Thai food in North Park. I stopped by for dinner on a weekday and it was pretty busy, but we still received great service. The staff were attentive and checked in regularly. The food was pretty good overall. I tried the truffle fries, Khao Soi, yellow curry, spicy fried rice, and mango sticky rice, and I'd definitely get the Khao soi and curry again. Both had great flavor. Worth stopping by if you're in the area! read more

I couldn't love Thai Time more!!! Whether you dine in or get takeout, the food is goin to be extraordinary. I personally cannot get enough of their Pad Kee Mao & the Brussel sprouts are the best I've ever had. We recently tried their Lamb special and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! The service is superb, always happy and has great advice! The decor is beautiful too! read more

ASIAN GIRLFRIEND APPROVED! Ok so listen, we went during pride and another holiday, can't remember. But they had such cute decorations AND AMAZING MUSIC. Miley Cyrus while I dip a chicken satay? OKAAAAYYYYY. The lighting 10/10, so go on a first date here and don't think twice (you look good anyways girl but the fluorescent light? We don't know her here). The food is amazing, so fresh and generous. Thai tea? Bomb. The lychee liquor drink? Had a few. Attentive and feels like family ran. I left wanting to be friends with the waiter. If you see this, wanna be friends? read more

Recently found Thai Time, and we love it! Great atmosphere and great service. You can tell that there are regulars who frequent the restaurant and there are constantly people picking up take out, which is a good indicator of good food for me. Parking can be tough in the area depending on the time, but it's worth hunting for a spot. We've dined in and ordered take out, and the dishes were consistently good. Highly recommend the spicy fried rice, the pad kee Mao, and the Thai tea. Glad to have found a reliable Thai spot in the area! read more

My husband and I came to Thai Time in North Park after it was highly recommended by our son, who lives in the San Diego area. Not only did we visit once while in town, but we also came back a second time because we were so impressed! Thai Time is situated in the unique, midtown-like area of North Park. The decor inside was chic and eccentric, with comfortable seating, and our waiters were kind and vibrant. We had quite the feast! Colorful, beautifully plated, and full of freshness and flavor. We started with the Tuna Tower, which was served with crispy garlic shrimp chips. Sweet with a little bit of spice. For our carb dish, we went for a Pad Se Lew. It was good, but we may go with one of their Fried rice options instead next time. Lastly, the dishes that had us coming back for more included the Larb salad and the Immortal Beef. Larb salad lovers, you will love this! The portion was generous with crisp vegetables on the side. The Immortal beef was 8oz of delicious and flavorful seared angus ribeye steak with seared veggies with rice, and over-easy egg on the side. These two dishes are a must! Topped off with the mango sticky rice. So yummy, you will not regret making the drive out to North Park! read more

To start off, the service was good. Everyone was nice and attentive. The restaurant is clean and not too busy for a Saturday night. I enjoyed everything but the fried rice. The fried rice could have used more flavor. It was ordered spicy level 7 and didn't really have a kick to it. I would come back for the appetizers and pad thai though. read more

I had to bring my own cup just for water. Terrible way to treat customers and delivery drivers. Very unprofessional and inappropriate.

Solid Thai food. Got a big order and they got everything correct. Wish the egg was more runny and soft boiled but that could've been just it sitting for a while since we did takeout. Also wish there was more of that spicy fish sauce with chilis in it. That was delicious read more

This is my favorite place in north park. A true staple for not only myself but also my friend group and their families! We bring everyone here and the menu has ample dishes to continue trying. However, some of my favorites are the soft shell crab, spicy drunken noodles and spring rolls. The vibrant colors are refreshing and the staff is always joyous. I have to keep myself away or else I will live here and never leave. read more

This is my go to door dash Thai spot. It's solid. Do I wish their "thai spicy" was actually "thai spicy"? Yes. But that is why I grow my own peppers. Their Pad See Ewe is a good portion size, and I know I need to start ordering it with extra veg (it never has enough for my taste, but that's me). Spring rolls are fresh, and come with two dipping sauces. Overall I recommend- great for delivery. read more

Happy w the food here. Quality matches the price and can't really go wrong. They definitely try a little hard by adding so many inedible garnishes, and just like that judge in the Korean food show says, just don't add it. Although the pineapple fried rice could be better, my friend says there's not a lot of pineapple which is funny bc they literally shoved the whole pineapple head on the plate like where did it go?? read more

I have to say, compared to LA, San Diego has some pretty solid Thai food spots and Thai Time is no exception. Service is prompt and I think the portion sizes are shareable. I think Thai Time does a great job at putting out unique Thai inspired dishes that are a little more elevated. I tried the Mango Branzino and Duck Boat Noodle Soup (not pictured) and both dishes tasted great. I can't wait to come back to try other things on the menu. read more

Great place for dinner! The food was excellent the second you walked in it smelled so good! The inside was large, can accommodate a lot of seating. The plating and presentation was beyond amazing it was just not standard take out Thai food it was very elevated with many options as well as decorative flowers and garnishes. The cocktail, wine and beer list was very extensive with a lot of local and Asian international options. Some cocktails came in fun Christmas glasses, or cat ceramic cups. The food was excellent. My favorite was the spicy eggplant with chicken. The potstickers were also amazing they were lightly deep fried instead Of sautéed and steamed. Perfect for when guests are in town and going out. read more

Street parking, nice restaurant, and nice servers! They were super attentive and made sure everything was good. The food also came out pretty quick. The chicken pad Thai had a good amount of protein and the noodles were a nice semi firm texture. It is on the sweeter side though. The pad see ew was good as well- a bit on the saltier side. The pad kra prao was worth a try but I'd probably get the chicken next time instead of the pork belly. Overall the pad thai was my favorite and would come back again! read more

I've been craving some nice warm yellow curry and this place definitely delivered. I did get takeout and can tell you it came scorching hot and super fresh! I look forward to trying more items on the menu. I definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area. Food review: Yellow curry: (5/5) I ordered mild and this was some of the most flavorful curry I've had in a while. They weren't stingy with the chicken either. Pad Se Lew: (4/5) The noodles were cooked perfectly. I ordered it with beef, but felt the beef was a little tough and lacked flavor. Overall, it was a pretty good and a good portion! read more

A reliable staple in North Park. Friendly, fast service. The Tiger Cry steak and mango sticky rice are both A+ dishes.

Great service, very nice ambiance and the food was really good. We arrived from Dallas and the people we met up with wanted Thai. I did some clicking around and wanted a place not too far. Found this and was pleasantly surprised. We had Pad Thai and a salmon salad. Pad Thai was fantastic! I thought the salad was refreshing but found the salmon under seasoned. However, I asked for some sauces to make up for it. I would return here. read more

Stopped here on a Wednesday night to meet up with my cousin who was in town for a work conference. Her and her coworker both came. I ordered pad see ew which is my go to Thai dish with mock duck.

The ambiance was chill and inviting and I loved that I could people watch as I ate. The service was friendly and efficient. Food was out rather quickly as well. I'd definitely return! read more
