I've been to Tim Ky Noodle many times, and my family really likes it. Our usual orders are the stir-fried noodles with bean sprouts, chives, shrimp, pork, and beef; wonton and shrimp dumpling noodle soup; and bò bía. The noodles are fresh, chewy, and have a nice texture. The staff here are very kind, friendly, and helpful. I don't live close to this area, but whenever I have a chance, I stop by and even order catering from them. The food may not be extremely outstanding, but it is very different and definitely better than many other places around the area. The restaurant is not very big, but it is clean and well-kept. Sometimes the service can be a little slow, probably because they are short-staffed, but overall, this is a good spot with consistent flavors and food that my family enjoys. read more

Tim Ky Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

I was really excited to check out Tim Ky Noodle because I had heard a lot of good things about it, but unfortunately it was pretty meh for me. The service was great and everyone was friendly, so no complaints there. I mainly came for the mi sate bo, and that ended up being a pretty big letdown. I was expecting a lot more flavor based on everything I had heard. Not terrible by any means, just didn't live up to the hype for me. read more

Tim Ky Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Tim Ky Noodle or "TK" noodles as my friends call it, serves Vietnamese and Chinese fusion dishes. If you're able to come when there is no line, service is extremely fast and you can get your dishes to table within 10 minutes of ordering. At our most recent visit, we ordered three takeout dishes. - Wonton Noodle Soup: (4/5) was OK. The noodles were a bit clumped together, this dish is probably best enjoyed in restaurant. - Fried Shrimp Lettuce Wrap: 5/5 the star of the show, incredibly crispy and juicy shrimp. - Pork Fried Rice: 3/5 was OK. The pork was a bit tough and the rice lacked uniform flavor between bites. My takeout experience was overall 3 stars out of 5. The big winner was the fried shrimp lettuce wrap which I will 100 percent get the next time I am here. read more

Tim Ky Noodle is probably in my opinion the closest Vietnamese/Chinese egg noodle soup tradition I've had since growing up. There use to be a lot of traditional restaurants growing up, but now it seems a lot of places have gone away with their traditional recipe. Tim Ky is the closest it'll get. The broth is what makes it traditional. However they make the broth, it's so savory and flavorful. The wonton soup I had was a good size and filling. It came with about 6 wontons and I think that's about average portion. Their service is quick and there are plenty of seating. Parking there is quite spacious. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Hot rich broth to sooth your soar throat from turning on the fan and ac all summer long. The side dishes is a must pickled papaya and fried chicharrones. The broth's translucently clear lets you know the chef took his time to make such an extraordinary soup and to fill it with delicious egg noodles and wontons that are highly addictive. Tim ky is constantly consistent with producing bowls of satisfying noodles time after time. There wonton's have a thin wrap and a crunchy meaty bite that brings the whole bowl of noodles together in perfect harmony a symphony of flavors all in one memorable bowl. The egg noodle had a bouncy bite not too thick or thin built just right to absorb the broth and deliver each bite perfectly. We ordered two dishes the beef chow fun and the wonton noodles the noodles came out first so we shared the noodles while we waited for the chow fun. The noodles came out very fast less than 5 mins after ordering. The chow fun arrived tens mins later. like a wrecking ball wok fried to perfection. You could taste the wok smoke blending the beef and wide rice noodles like a toxic relationship chaos of fire and flavors forced together to form perfection on a plate. read more

WHOLE IN THE WALL (3.25 stars) Asian soups come in with the cure when feeling under the weather. Was craving wonton soup and too lazy to make my own. But maybe I should have just made my own. Came here and the place is like a to-go spot for locals who crave authentic Asian food. It's a place where you see them old Asian parents customers that have no shame uncomfortably starring at you the entire time from their table. It's like there were always eyes just starring as I ate. On to the food... WONTON AND DUMPLING NOODLE SOUP ($14.79) - ordered my bowl with egg noddles. it came out generously and quickly. Presentation looked good. Flavor was good but a little too "shrimp-y" tasting for my liking. I counted about 4 dumplings - two normal me round and two oblong ones stuffed with mystery meat. Will I be back? Maybe. But not in a rush too as there are many other places to be had. Until the next review... read more

I've always seen a lot of people going here from the outside and wanted to try this place for a long time. Hubby finally said yes and the first time we tried it a couple of years ago, we loved their rice noodle soup with wontons. The servers are always very nice. When you order, you don't even wait too long. Food is served right away. The place is not fancy but it's always clean. For the pics I included, it's for our latest to go order. We will always return here for their authentic wonton and dumpling soups with rice noodles! Highly recommend you try it! read more

This spot is located right next to Lucky Seafood in the Vietnamese supermarket plaza. It's a pretty typical Hong Kong-Cantonese-style noodle shop, specializing in different types of noodles, rice noodles, and noodle soups. I ordered the satay beef offal noodles with spring rolls. The noodles were pretty decent overall, but the spring rolls weren't particularly authentic. The overall atmosphere here is casual and relaxed, making it a good option for a quick, everyday meal. read more

At around 12:30PM on a Friday, there was no wait. Got the: - Pan fried Rice Cake w/ Egg $9.49: came with a vinegar dipping sauce. Drier than what I'm used to, and thinner/crispier cuts of rice cake. Small portion, but good to try. I probably wouldn't get this again tho. - My Tho Clear Noodle Soup w Egg noodle and Dai Glass noodle $15.99: I appreciated that they were able to accommodate my request for 2 types of noodles, but the type of egg noodle had an aftertaste that threw me off (celeries in this also was not my fave). I liked the various sorts of innards: e.g. liver, intestine and other meats like xa xiu and shrimp. Wouldn't get again, though SO liked it. - Salty Fish w Chicken Fried Rice $16.69: unique, but the salty fish was indeed SALTY. Hard to finish as there were areas where the saltiness was especially concentrated. - Duck Leg Noodle Soup $16.99: flavorful broth, tender duck. comes with pickled young papaya. pretty good! - Beef Chow Fun (Dry) $15.99: I crave this, and it hit the spot. Wasn't oily at all! Found a rubber band in my My Tho, but I still finished it. The manager was going to take it off the bill but I already paid for it... so he hooked it up with an agar coconut which was nice of him. Service is fast and food is authentic. Parking was easy too. read more

I love, love, love TKN! There are so many great Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants around Mira Mesa but I always find myself at Tim Ky. My absolute favorite dishes are the Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings, the Pork and Dumpling Soup and the Crispy Noodle with Beef (bird's nest I call it). Sometimes I get the whole coconut for dessert. Oh my goodness, I get cravings for this one! It's no nonsense food. Consistently delicious and pretty quick. We usually go after church on a Sunday. It's pretty busy with families, which I love. It shows their dedication to being a family restaurant. It's always clean inside and the servers do a great job. Thank you TKN! read more

Came here for some take out because my local friend recommended this place. He recommended the dried beef chow fun. While looking at the menu the satay beef egg noodle soup caught my eye so I got that as well, on top of a lot of other things (We had a big group). The noodles on the beef chow fun was smaller than expected but the flavor was on point. But he started was the satay beef noodle soup. Very authentic cantonese/hong kong style satay sauce paired with tender beef and very authentic egg noodles, all bathing in yummy warm broth. My wife and I liked it so much, we went back the very next day to eat at the restaurant. And when we did eat in, the service was great, everyone was very nice. read more

Tim Ky Noodle - Satay Beef egg noodle soup - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

The wonton noodle soup here is so bomb! The wontons taste freshly wrapped and the egg noodle is perfectly al dente. The chow fun noodle is done perfectly as well- not soggy like many other places I've tried. I do think they can use less salt on the meat but overall still very tasty. I am also glad to see they serve rice porridge in addition to rice and noodles. The service is attentive and they check on you often. The restaurant itself isn't particularly large or themed but is clean and welcoming. Overall a very solid spot for a good meal read more

My friend who have been helping me with my haircut for many years recommended Tim Ky Noodle. I was advised to order the salted fish fried rice along with the dry noodles separately from the wonton soup. I took his advice and found ourselves in the restaurant. We were seated right away and ordered exactly the salted fried rice and the noodles. We definitely love the fried rice and the salted fish with it, which reminds me of the "tuyo," made of salted herring or sardine, growing up in the Philippines. The wonton noodle was good. We also munch on the sweetened chili peppers and surely enhanced the quality of our meals. The place was clean and the food was good although I would suggest the servers could be a little more friendly. read more

Everything we had was delicious! Have you had the seafood fried rice; our friend had the beef and asparagus stir-fry; and I had the steamed swai with ginger and bok choy.

Close to my work and ordering online is a smooth process, so we love this place. Most of the time we get the beef chow fun, young chow fried rice, egg rolls, spring rolls, salt n pepper pork chops and tangerine chicken. All of the those were super good. Not really anything we didn't like. Portions and price is pretty good. They share the parking lot with Lucky Seafood and Aldi, so it can get pretty busy at times. read more

I love this place, I come here often and it's my easy to go to spot for a good noodle or rice dish. Today I did the chow fun dry with shrimp and a fresh spring roll. Simple and filling meal to hit that mid day lunch crunch. I was pressed for time so I didn't get my sparkling lemonade soda but there's always another time for it. The restaurant is always kept clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. Service can be slow if you come in during a busy lunch time or dinner time but they try to stay attentive to you and your needs. This is a small family business, they do their best and the good is always top notch. read more

This is the SECOND TIME they messed up my togo order. Last time, we ordered sate beef noodle dry, but they gave us the beef tripe version. This time, we ordered two sate beef noodle DRY dishes, but they served both as SOUPS. We live far from Mira Mesa, so my husband had to drive all that way just because I wanted the sate beef noodles DRY. It's frustrating because they need to listen carefully to what we want, even when we order over the phone. We've spent our money and effort only to receive wrong orders (a total of three so far). Very disappointed!!! read more

This place is a slightly elevated version of your traditional Vietnamese Chinese noodle shop. The fried rice here is what I I always wanted fried rice to be. Meaty flavorful tasty. I would also suggest the egg and rice cake appetizer which was made very fresh, but they had a really unique take on the dipping sauce which is a little bit more vinegar. Lastly, we also got some porridge because one of my kids wasn't feeling the best and this one really hit the soul and I would highly recommend everything here. read more

The fact that I've been eating here for over 10 years & haven't left a review is insane. I always get their wonton soup with half egg noodles and half rice noodles. My kids love their wonton soup too, & they're very picky eaters! I've also had their bird's nest dish (crispy noodles) with vegetables & it's solid. If it was fried, I would eat it every other day. The service is fast and ambiance is very casual. The place is clean & spacious. The parking lot has plenty space except during peak hours. Love coming here & will continue to do. read more

Tim Ky Noodle - Fried rice with Thai tea boba - Vietnamese Near Me - San Diego, California

Located in the same plaza as lucky seafood, navy fed, aldi, and valerio's. All the way in the corner. If there's no parking in front, there is usually parking in the back. Service is decent, waitress/waiters are nice. It's a pretty small space, but can actually fit quite a bit of people. Mainly small tables. There is a restroom for customers. We always get the young chow fried rice and dry wonton dumpling noodle soup. My Husband also likes their duck noodle soup, chicken wings, and turnip cakes w/ eggs. Turnip cake is like a comfort food for me, feels nostalgic. Also have had the beef satay, but it is a bit watered down. Would enjoy more if it was a thicker consistency. The dishes are pretty flavorful and tasty. I like how you can customize your noodle soup with either rice or egg noodles or half and half and make it dry or wet. We enjoy dry, as you are given a side of soup and a sauce flavor to enhance the flavor of the dry noodles. You pretty much get the best of both worlds. They have this new fluffy coffee which is like those egg coffees but very light with a lot of oat milk and a maybe no egg, haha. For only $3 a cup though, we have been ordering it every time with our meal. They also do have the traditional Vietnamese coffee and right now there's a new years special and it's also only $3. We regular this place pretty often, mainly to-go, highly recommend! read more

I been craving salted fish fried rice and I had to try the one with shrimp. Came with big pieces of shrimp and the salty fish flavor was perfect. If you like spice, definitely try the chopped green peppers where all the condiments are on the table. The salt and pepper pork chops were so fatty, tender, and crunchy + paired well with the green pepper & that broth also pictured. That dish was great too but I can't remember the name. Slight sweetness in the meats inside, great glass noodles, and the broth tasted like it was chicken. Delicious lunch and I wish I didn't live far from here!!! Clean restaurant, efficient & quick service. read more

I came to Tim Ky Noodle with a craving for wonton noodle soup and unfortunately left disappointed. Parking was fine, and the restaurant is tucked into a corner of the plaza--easy enough to find. I ordered the wonton noodle soup with thin egg noodles. The noodles were okay, but the wontons were dry and lacked the bouncy, juicy texture that a good wonton should have. They tasted underwhelming and poorly made, which really took away from the experience. I had high hopes but wouldn't return based on this visit. If you're coming specifically for wonton noodles, I'd look elsewhere. read more

4/27/24. TKN is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is elevated and economical. The dishes and fusion of Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines here are well-executed. 4/17/24: Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($4.99): tasty but mostly ice. Coffee and condensed milk is a perfect combo, 4/5 stars overall. Vietnamese Crispy Crepe ($13.99): this is a thin omelet that is filled with pork, shrimp, bean sprouts, and onions. A unique and satisfying version, 3.5/5 stars. 4/12/24: Crispy Noodles Combo - beef, chicken, and shrimp ($16.99): creamy garlic sauce on the bottom with fried noodles on top. Traditionally, you're supposed to mix the noodles and sauce, but I prefer the crispy noodles in contrast with the tender proteins and veggies, 4.5/5 stars! Salt & Pepper Fish ($17.99): this is perfect! This is well-seasoned and has hints of white pepper and sugar. The exterior is light but crispy combined with tender fish, 5/5 stars! Tangerine Chicken ($18.49): the sauce is balanced, as it is not too sweet and has a slight tang. The chicken retains its crunch while the meat is juicy, 5/5 stars! The service here is efficient. They take your order shortly after being seated, and a dish or two is delivered to your table within 5 minutes. Then, the rest of your order arrives momentarily. read more
