Time Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Springfield

I have a mixed review about this place. Yesterday was my first time to try their food. I got the Pah Nah, or something like that. It was pretty good and I like being able to get a dish with my favorite veggies, broccoli and cauliflower, in it. It came with one little egg roll that was a little overdone and nothing special. Today I got coconut shrimp and some tom yum soup. The coconut shrimp was much like the egg roll of yesterday: overcooked and nothing special. The soup, however, was pretty delicious. Plus, has a vegetarian broth. I got mine with tofu. The only problem with it was that I had asked about the hotness of it before I ordered it and she said they did not make hot foods there. The soup, however, belies that statement. The soup was far too hot for me and I was coughing and needing a lot of water. So, yes folks, the soup is spicy! LOL. My final comment is that the woman who waited on me never smiled. She has a demeanor that almost looks angry and she speaks loud and fast. As I have a hearing impairment and accents challenge me, I could hardly understand anything she said and had to ask clarifying questions, which she didn't seem to have patients for. This could totally be a cultural thing, though. I am not implying she is not a nice person. Only that I couldn't tell it. Lol. If you don't mind who serves you, you will probably enjoy the food here. If you're one of those people who likes someone to smile at you and be cheery when you come to spend your money, this place...

I was skeptical upon arrival and should have trusted my gut, because that gut is now not doing well. Upon walking in, it looked like a to-go only location. We were then led through an entryway off to the side to the dining area. I'm assuming it used to be two separate spaces. It was a very confusing setup. The, I'm assuming, owner was very nice and attentive, but that's where the positivity ends. The satay had an off texture to the meat, maybe undercooked? It was rubbery. The peanut sauce lacked flavor. The crab rangoon tasted very fishy. The pad Thai noodles were chewy. The orange chicken tasted and felt almost exactly like a McDonald's chicken nugget. Even the water tasted funny. I went back to the car and got my own water, I couldn't drink theirs. The pineapple fried rice was ok, I guess? We now have indigestion/stomach upset. I'm sorry to have to say all this because I know how hard it is to make it as a restaurant and the owner seems very nice. I honestly only ate my food because I felt too empathetic to send it back and take money out of the owners pocket. But I felt a duty to share my experience with other diners, now that we are having tummy problems, as we decided to eat here due to the high reviews that don't equate to...

Top notch in every way!

This Rhaan Thai restaurant is near Thurston, in Springfield. It's a gem of a place. I understood last night from "Guy" (spelling?) that they've been running the restaurant for the last 8 months. I loved my experience there and will be back! It's definitely the best Thai I've had in the this area, including taste, texture, temperature, service & environment.

The ambiance felt perfect for a relaxing outing, a romantic evening or special celebration, in my opinion. It felt like just the right atmosphere for anyone that feels uplifted by vibrant color, flowers, spaciousness, friendly service, and waterfall scenery, with low to moderate sounds and a classy setup with tablecloths.

The salmon with vegetables was perfect with the broccoli substitute for the eggplant. The heat retained exceptionally well to the last bite, with comfortable conversation in between leisurely tasty morsels. It was delightful for a congratulatory celebration with a special person last night and made our evening feel some added peace & positivity, with our reunited time together after 6 months.

Thank you, Guy!...
