    Drunken Noodles
    Brandi T.

    I tried this place on a whim due to the good reviews. I ordered thru DoorDash pickup and the food was ready in 10 minutes! Yay! I got the drunken noodles and spring rolls (2). The spring rolls were wonderful and the peanut better sauce was great. It was a bit pricey for two rolls with the shrimp cut in half to appear like you're getting more, but I guess that's eating out now days. The flavor of the drunken noodles was great! Spicy and a tad sweet, with the noodles cooked to perfection. However the chicken was like rubber, every single piece. If the chicken improved, I would definitely order it again!

    Red Curry and Drunken Noodles

    I feel like Thai Tyme has improved a lot from when I was here last. I got the drunken noodles. They didn't ask me what level of spicy I wanted, but luckily I was okay with the medium spice level that came with my dish. I also got one of their specials for dessert, the roti with condensed milk. That one was so good. My husband got a curry that he loved. I really liked how quickly and efficient the service was. Restaurant is clean and prices are fair.

    I came here for their vegetarian lunch special during the week. I ordered the: + Fried tofu - which was pretty bland and basic. 2/5 + The curry puffs - which were yummy! 4/5 + The dumplings - which were good, too! 4.5/5 The service was solid and the ambience classy and clean. I would normally give this place a 3.5/5, but because service was wonderful, a 4/5 is fairer. For improvement, I would either amp up the tofu dish (making it more flavorful and putting more effort into it) and or adding some more vegetarian options. Overall, this place has great potential.

    Ive had this location on my radar since it as opened and I finally made it here for dinner! Ive dined at their Manassas location several times and was in awe at how spacious this location was! The interior is a whole vibe! The staff was pleasant and very attentive. The menu is vast so it may take a minute to determine what you would like to eat so take your time to review it before making your final decisions. We ordered a few things and agreed to share them all amongst ourselves as we seem to have our eyes on all the same dishes. Our food came out piping hot to the table and the wait for its arrival was standard. Would entertain coming back to this location again whenever I am in the area!

    Linda B.

    The food was TERRIBLE!!!! Not sure how they even received the rating they did since this is NOT service I would even expect from a 3-star Thai restaurant!! First of all, I requested that my Pad Woonsen be WITHOUT carrots and bell peppers, but guess what...it was LOADED with CARROTS AND BELL PEPPERS!!!! And then I also ordered the Wonton Soup. I mean, please, what could go wrong there?? Well, it sure did in every way possible!!!! I the broth or whatever it was, it was everything I did NOT EXPECT IT TO BE!!!! It was LOADED WITH SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!! It was absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!!!!! I don't EVEN KNOW HOW THIS IS ON THEIR MENU!!!!!! Puke puke PUKE!!!!! I will NEVER ORDER FROM HERE EVER AGAIN!!! No exaggeration made at all since I had one of my friends try the soup as well and the look on his face was one of ABSOLUTE DISGUST!!! He told me it was one of the most DISGUSTING soup he had EVER TASTED and told me to TOSS IT OUT!!! I will be more than happy to go to other establishments since there are much MUCH HIGHER QUALITY Thai restaurants all around the area, thank you so very much!

    Panang Curry Drunken Noodles Summer Rolls
    Vatsal S.

    Service was ok. Everything had to be asked for a togo order like utensils and plates which they didn't even provide after just quickly dismissing the request which was kind of rude Food itself was ok again, nothing too special. There are better Thai options to try out there. Thai iced tea was really good tho so they got something right. Panang curry was decent too but filled with mostly tofu and curry, barely any vegetables and had an overly peanut taste to it. The drunken noodles were the worst. Soggy noodles and very chewy flavorless tofu. Restaurant was packed when I went to pick up the order and even the dishes in the restaurant looked ok at best. Very loud science as well. People were shouting just to talk to each other.

    Crispy Beef
    Josephine K.

    It was a great late night spot on a Sunday. We came here after grocery shopping and managed to fit in a last minute bite to eat. They were pretty busy with some full tables and the atmosphere was very unique. I ordered their tofu soup which comes with a meat based broth, tofu, napa cabbage, cilantro, scallions and peanuts. I also ordered their summer rolls with shrimp and really liked their take on it with very thin noodles. Also their peanut sauce was unique as well which paired nicely with the rolls. My husband got the crispy beef which comes with rice, crispy kale, and red bell peppers. Overall all the dishes tasted great and highly recommend this restaurant for the Chantilly area.

    My receipt
    Missi L.

    So I placed an order the other night since my husband was out to dinner with a friend and he was right next-door practically I ordered seafood, drunken noodles and Tom Kha soup I ordered this all the time at my local Thai restaurants The Chicken Tom Kha soup was so strong and concentrated, and didn't contain any vegetables other than a few scallions. I had to open up a container of broth at home and add vegetables The seafood drunken noodles was so bland. I was shocked. I found one jalapeño in it and onion slices, one slice of tomato, a couple of shrimp and two rubbery pieces of squid that were the size of pencil erasers. It was not good I wasn't going to leave a review until I saw my bill which did not reflect the prices on your yelp page. The prices were drastically different and I'm sorry but the prices of the ingredients for this are not reflected anywhere else in Northern Virginia so there's no reason for drunken noodles that don't really contain much seafood other than three shrimp and two little pieces of squid to be $20 Which was five dollars more than what was listed on the yelp page and the soup was in a small pint container and two charge eight dollars is ridiculous And won't be coming here again, no matter if I'm in the area or not I will stick with my authentic delicious incredible Thai restaurants here in my area

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Anthony N.

    4/5. Went here for lunch with a friend as we were looking for new lunch spots to eat during the weekdays. Thai Tyme is very close to where we work so why not give it a try. For a quick TLDR, food was average, service was good, atmosphere was very nice. The Food: For lunch, I went with the tried and true Pad Thai, with a Tom Yum soup as an appetizer. The Pad Thai was good, but nothing about it had a wow factor. The noodles were kind of "wet" when they were served which was a little weird to me it could've just been that day. However, taste was just average. The Tom Yum soup was delicious and the flavor was very rich. The Service: The service was good. The staff were friendly and our orders were brought out in a timely manner. The Atmosphere: The restaurant was nicely decorated and the place was very clean. Overall, a 4/5. The Food was little average compared to other Thai restaurants I've had, but the service and decor made up for it.

    Tofu Soup
    Susan H.

    I was looking to get to a Wegman's. Then I remembered that the one in Chantilly had a few restaurants in the same shopping center. Doing some research, I came across Thai Tyme. After taking a look at their menu, and having my husband do the same, we both agreed to give them a try. Since they open for dinner at 5 p.m., we decided to go when they opened. We were there on a Saturday night. Our first visit, I had some Tofu soup as a starter as did my husband. The soup had some napa cabbage in it as well as some roasted garlic bits. We enjoyed this mild but flavorful soup. For my main course, I ordered "crab fried rice". I did have some trepidation as in the past, I've ordered this in other Thai places and it was dried out. There was no need to worry as the rice was moist and the crab meat portion was quite generous. The portion was good sized without being too large. My husband had "mixed vegetables" with shrimp, which comes with a side of rice. He enjoyed it as it was mild and well flavored. After the meal, I told my husband that I wanted to review the place but he said he would like to go a second time and try something else. He thought it would give us a better idea by seeing if other dishes were this well prepared. So...once again, we were here on a Saturday around 5 p.m. Service, again, was quite good. The staff is friendly and efficient and the front of the house helps one another out. Sometimes if things are slow at the bar, the bartender will bring the food or clear away plates. Again, we started out with the tofu soup. This time, the soup was on the over salted side. The garlic bits did help counteract the salt but...while some salt is necessary, it needed to be toned down a bit. We both had agreed to have different entrees. I settled on "pad woonsen" and added tofu as my protein. I have never seen this dish on a menu before. It's a mild dish that has cellophane noodles as well as several veggies, including, carrots, tomatoes, onions, green onions, red bell pepper and some tree ear. It also has some egg in it and chopped peanuts on top. This was also mildly flavored . I appreciated that the cellophane noodles were cut small as it made eating it quite easy. In fact, I think I like this better than pad Thai as some pad Thais have an odd flavor to them, which I've never cared for. My husband had "cashew nuts" with shrimp. This dish has a brown sauce with veggies and the most prominent veggies were carrots and onions. This is a dish he often gets at Thai places but he said he thinks the one he had here was one of the best due to not only the flavoring but the attractive plating. And, yes, we will be back---dinner then a visit to Wegmans :) Maybe next time I'll splurge and try one of their mixed drinks---some of them sound so good!

    Thai Tea
    Hoang L.

    Came here for lunch with a group! We were seated outside, which was really nice. I ordered the: - Beef Drunken Noodles - Thai Tea The noodles were fine, but the beef was definitely overcooked (sooo chewy). It definitely would've been better had I gotten chicken. The menu had listed the Drunken Noodles as spice level 2, but I didn't really taste much spice (maybe should've requested a higher level). The Thai Tea was pretty good and standard. The service was good, and they were able to give us all separate checks.

    Beef Drunken Noodles with added broccoli
    Grace W.

    Prices and portion sizes are decent. The drunken noodles were tasty though it could have had more Thai basil and there were a few pieces of chewy grisly beef I had to remove. The fried wontons were bland and dry and the chili sauce was too watery. The chive dumplings were definitely not typical and came as fried little squares. It was tasty but definitely not what I wanted. My friend loved her chicken pad see ew though the Chinese broccoli was a bit undercooked amd tough. We were served quickly and the food came out fast. Service was decent, no complaints.

The vegetable soup was plain and lacked taste, but the pad thai was flavorful, with a signature flavor and perfectly cooked noodles, enhanced by chicken and peanuts for added protein and texture. The crispy pineapple shrimp fell short of expectations and lacked true crispiness, which was disappointing. Although the portion initially looked generous, it was mostly served atop a bed of lettuce, which made it seem fuller. My Thai coffee with creamy cheese was exquisite--its subtle sweet cheese foam perfectly balanced the coffee's bitterness, turning it into a dessert-like treat.

And don't skip the beer--it was fantastic! Great food, generous portions, outstanding hospitality, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back.

    I saw this place named on some guy's list of best restaurants in NOVA. We only ordered 4 dishes so…read moreI can't speak for the rest of the menu. But what we did get was pretty darn good (if a bit pricey)! The style is much more authentic, so if you're looking for something like Hunan Cafe (Greenbriar), or that NOVA institution China King, this is different. Is it better? For the most part, yes. (But I still crave that Americanized sweet, spicy, glazey brown sauce that comes in slight variations in so many dishes). I had the hot and sour soup, Szechuan spicy fried eggplant sticks, Taiwanese rice noodles with fried tofu, and the Chengdu twice cooked pork. Everything was excellent, except....the hot and sour soup. Honestly, Hunan Cafe and China King beat the pants off this place's hot and sour soup. Here, it was a bit too sweet. It had some red chilies in it, but I could not detect much white pepper. And it's a vegetarian version, so no small bits of chicken or pork. I'd skip this the next time I order from here. But the other dishes... amazing! The noodles were light-tasting but still delicious. The eggplant was garnished with cilantro, garlic, salt, and red chili sauce. The twice cooked pork was sauteed with sliced leeks and the same red chili sauce. I think that's the fresh, zingy, spice flavor profile I like that can't be found at Americanized Chinese restaurants. Sure, China King has its place and I'll still go back there when I'm close (RIP China King Fair Lakes and Herndon). And admittedly, I go to that awful Panda chain occasionally because I never learn. The unfortunate thing is, I'll more likely go to these places than Cheng's because of the price. The pork dish was $21 and the noodle dish was $19. My total bill came to $60 before tax and tip. If I need to stuff my face with a Chinese umami bomb fast, I'm probably going to the other places for $15-30. I do want to try the rest of the menu at Cheng's, but it's going to be a drawn-out process for the sake of my wallet. I'd be remiss if I didn't include a comment from my dining partner. She compared the quality and taste of the food at Cheng's to Peter Chang's (either Peter Chang's-Herndon, or Mama Chang Fairfax). A high compliment. But she said the value is better at those places' AYCE options than what we got at Cheng's, and I agree. If you've been to none of these places, you have to try them all at least once.

    Ran across this place randomly coming to get coffee at MOTW coffee. The restaurant was not that big…read morebut super cute and homey feeling with cute girly flower room decor. The service was super good given that I was so indecisive and asking so many question regarding the drink because they have so many cute drinks The food presentation was top notch even just for lunch special. Not only did it look good, it tasted amazing. Crispy Duck Kapow 5/5 - So good , the duck was crispy on the outside and nice and perfectly cook in the side. The basil sauce on it was nicely flavor and coated with sweet, savory with hint of spicy Prik Gleur Shrimp 5/5- Heaven crispy light batter shrimp deep fried and then toss in sauté in some garlic spicy sauce. It was so good next time , ia m going to have to order dinner size. The cripsy batter green bean was also good and umami

    I truly like my home thai but for ordering out. I use to dine in but after my last experience I…read morewont be. My party of 2 we came in sat down and pretty much got ignored. The issue is this places gets busy quickly and the waitress and waiters dont have specific tables. They are all sharing. That is a big problem. You dont catch who you've been ignoring. We came in a group of 2 and was giving 1 water. Asked for another 2 times and no one thought oh we never gave them the water. I usually order red curry but I order fried rice and my bf order red curry. He was waiting for me to get my food. I told him to eat. He almost finished his plate before my fried rice ever came. I had to ask about it. It was just horrible experience that I would never come again in person. Ordering online or deliver. I always order red curry and spicy....the spice must depend on the cook for the day thats the only thing not consistent but its so good spice or not. Only reason I gave 2 stars otherwise off of in person id give 1 for the experience. Everytime I come in its just too busy and not worth it. Especially when there isnt a designated waiter or waitress per table. Just leads to ill experience and no accountability for the ill experience.
