I called in my order and my order was confirmed and when I get to the counter the person is very rude and she was very defensive right away and kept on telling me that she already confirmed my order with me when it doesn’t sound like her on the phone. She got my order wrong, blaming me for her mistake and I still have to pay for it. She’s very unprofessional I never had a bad experience in this pla e before it’s a first with her. When I waited already 30 minutes for my order and I checked on how long I still have to wait again she’s very defensive and rude about it. I am not going to order at this place when I see that she’s the one on the counter again. Not worth my time and effort to talk to someone who doesn’t know how to work in a customer service environment and very unprofessional. When I picked up my order you can tell she was annoyed by me she didn’t even say thank you for coming just rip the receipt from the bag and gave me my food when I ask for the detailed receipt because I ask her about it from the beginning and she didn’t give it to me so I have to repeat my self again she wasn’t happy and just tape it back to my bag without saying anything. If I was the owner of this restaurant I will definitely just have her work in the back where she doesn’t have to talk to customers because she...

The food at this establishment is excellent, and I’ve always enjoyed my meals here. However, there’s one unfortunate issue that has made me decide not to return. There is a young lady who works at the counter who consistently treats me differently from other customers. While every other cashier greets me politely and provides friendly service, she always seems annoyed by my presence, as if I’m inconveniencing her by simply walking in.

I’ve observed her interacting with other customers—she smiles, engages in friendly conversation, and provides great service. But when it’s my turn, her demeanor completely changes. There’s no greeting, no smile, just a cold and dismissive attitude. It’s clear that this isn’t a general issue with the staff, as everyone else treats me with the same level of courtesy they extend to other patrons.

Because of this repeated experience, I’ve decided I won’t be spending my money here anymore. My company is just down the street, and many of my coworkers frequent this place for lunch throughout the week. However, I refuse to support a business where I don’t feel valued as a customer. Excellent food is important, but so is good service, and unfortunately, this employee’s behavior has ruined the...

Really disappointed. We saw this Thai restaurant on the website, with 4.6 stars. It should be delicious but it is not. We ordered 2 yellow curries (I regretted ordering 2), 1 cashew chicken, 1 Pad thai, 1 side dish of fried shrimp chips. 1:Yellow curry? Oh my God. It tastes terrible! There were a lot of greens and the potatoes were not cooked enough. The chicken breast was very dry. The whole dish tasted like sweet soup and did not have the rich taste of yellow curry. 2:The cashew chicken also had a lot of vegetables, the chicken breast was very dry and very little, and the cashews were also pitifully few. The whole dish is like drinking soup. 3: About Pad thai? Oh my god again. It tasted so bad that I almost vomited! We had this dish at another Thai restaurant near here and it was delicious. We spent $72 on a mostly vegetarian lunch. The restaurant has a nice Thai design, a great environment and no weird smells. This is very important for industry players. But the taste and quantity of the food were not appropriate, so we will not be eating at your...

It's a good Thai place! The server was very courteous and reasonably attentive. They don't play music and during the day, the place is pretty much just lit with the sunlight coming in from the full glass walls, so the ambiance is what you make of it. Now onto the food! It's in fairly large portions, so you could easily split a entree like curry or An Entire Fish with a friend. That's not what my friend and I did, though. Nope, they managed to down An Entire Fish (the pampano?) and I ate half my pineapple curry and rice and took the rest home. Both were delicious and full of sauce and protein and Flavor. Delightful. I had mock duck and it was very flavorful in conjunction with the curry, with decent enough texture of its own, given that it was made of tofu! For packaging, they don't use styrofoam cuz this is California, thank heck. But they do use plastic, so maybe bring your own collapsible silicone containers if lowering your waste output matters to you!

I'm hooked! Thai Time in El Cajon has become my go-to spot for authentic Thai cuisine. I've been back so many times, I've lost count! The warm and inviting atmosphere makes me feel like I'm in Thailand, but it's the incredible food that keeps me coming back for more. From the crispy Tod Mun to the fragrant and flavorful Pad Thai, every dish is a masterclass in balance and flavor. And don't even get me started on the Pad See Iew - it's a game-changer! The freshness and quality of the ingredients shine through in every bite. The service is top-notch, with very friendly and attentive staff who know their menu inside and out. They're always happy to make recommendations or accommodate special requests. I've tried other Thai restaurants in the area, but none compare to Thai Time. I'm a loyal customer for life! If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and get thee to Thai Time - your taste buds will thank you!

We stumbled across this little tucked away treasure about 12 years ago and have been regulars since. This quiet little restaurant has authentic Thai food with delicious, savory, and flavorful meals. You can choose something light and vegetarian, or hearty and fulfilling from their choice of soups, appetizers, veggies, noodles, rice, and meats. We always get the Tom yum soup, spicy noodle, heavenly chicken (similar to orange chicken), and stuffed cream cheese wontons. The friendly staff has been here forever and they remember us after so many years, always friendly and smiling. The meals come out very fast, so it’s perfect if you’re in a rush or super hungry. The portions are all large and shareable. This beautifully decorated restaurant is a must try if you want some really delicious food. Right across the street from parkway plaza mall.
