    The food in this place is delicious! They offer a great price, quality and quantity in comparison with other places.Furthermore, the service is good and the place is clean. My favorite dish to order is the #80. In the first and second video you can see the difference between indoor dining and takeout. (The flavor doesn't change just presentation obviously). I would recommend this place for a yummy Thai food.

    Overall was very mediocre curry with tofu. Not bad but also not amazing. I probably would try another place if I was going to get specifically the red curry based dishes. Service and timeliness of the restaurant was good. Might try a noodle dish next time and update you then

    Pretty mediocre, and just about everything reflects that. It’s not bad by any means, but it’s only about as good as what I can make at home and I’m terrible at cooking Thai food. Rice tasted a bit off, but the other things we ordered were alright I guess. I can’t say I’d recommend this to anyone, and unfortunately I won’t be coming back.

    Terrible. Everything was terrible. To the people calling this “the best pad Thai ever,” “authentic Thai food”, and “the best Thai food in SF hands down,” are you being paid to write reviews? Nothing about this food is authentic. It’s beyond “adjusted to the tastes of white people” and just straight up bad. The pad Thai tasted almost like fake food. I really don’t know how to describe it, and I don’t understand: 1) How this place is still in business 2) Why it has positive reviews 3) Why we can’t have better Thai food in SF I wish I could get a refund.

    This is my favorite one of thai restaurants in San Francisco even the place is quite small but I really the foods there it’s authentic and the prices is reasonable anyway the place it’s always busy according to it’s really small but that’s an understanding reason tho. As I’m thai I would recommend this one if you like Thai food.

    Recommended by a friend, he told me their Thai time wings, gra pow or ka prow are addicting, but i decided to get their Green Fried Rice. I was not disappointed! Don’t know if all their portions are like their fried rice but they gave so much, that i only ate half of it for lunch & the other half for dinner. I’ll definitely be coming back to this place to try their other dishes! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Thai Food.

    This is without reservations some of the best Tom Ka Gai in the city. Authentic fresh ingredients (finally a Thai place that uses straw mushrooms!), great flavors and A+++ service.

    **These thai folks got fat & lazy! This place doubled their price however food did not improve. Volume did not increase either. Don't want to open for dine in because they are too lazy. Sorry no more patronage! People wake up. Other Thai places are better i.e. Geary Blvd. Just saying.

    I have tried a lot of Thai food in my life, and this is the closet thing taste wise to authentic. I introduced my boyfriend to Thai food & this restaurant is the only one he’ll eat at, and me too, because their food is GOOD. We order the green duck curry, and if you like spicy, they will hook you up. They have the best duck. We live outside of SF just about 45 minutes away, but will drive out there just for the food!!! If you want to unlock a new craving, go check them out. You won’t regret it 😃✨ Picture of green duck curry with rice 🍚 enjoying a nice view checking out the golden gate. #comfortfood

    Pretty good selection of fairly priced Thai food. The place is pretty small and always busy. Good thing, you can secure your spot in the line via yelp though. Unfortunately we had roach stopping by our table after we had finished. This clearly shouldn’t happen in any restaurant!

    I really enjoyed my 2 visits to this place. Good prices and yummy Thai food. Their Khao Soi is different than others I've had, but delicious. Love the Pumpkin Seafood Curry. So full of seafood and perfect amount of spice. Service is so good and parking was not hard to find, with a little patience. The lemonade is homemade and delicious. Prices are so reasonable too!

    Of all the places that offer Thai cuisine in San Francisco Thai Time is my favorite. It’s small and cute and the Angel basil wings are immaculate. The curry 🍛 is thick and flavorful. If I ask for Thai hot 🥵 they don’t water it down they make it very hot. Which is exactly what I need in a Panang curry! Also they don’t price gouge it’s very affordable considering some of the alternative options. 10 out of 10 would recommend if you’re visiting or live near the inner Richmond. ♥️

    Hole in the wall restaurant with takeout or delivery only. Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had!

  • 1/5 Chanthasone K. 1 year ago on Google
    After reading all the great reviews I thought I give this place a try definitely not up to my expectations for authentic thai food... but they do give you a large portion and the price was reasonable.I ordered the pad se ew which was just ok and I asked for the original fried rice medium spicy and it was just sweet and bland and the papaya salad which was absolutely the worst no flavor what so ever. Overall very disappointed

    Thai Time is always consistent. The takeout portions are huge, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. We ordered a fried rice and pad Thai - both needed stronger flavoring, maybe more seasoning? We added our own soy sauce to the fried rice to balance it out and more acidity to the pad Thai to make it better.

    A small place , but satisfying, after shooting at bakers beach, i went to this place based on reviews. And all the reviews are true, small , yet wondrous. Fast service with tasty food. If you are in the neighborhood, do try this place. Its amazing and dont forgwt to taste the thai iced tea. Never though thai food is this delicious. Recommendations to all the review readers to visit and try this place .

    The Tom Yum soup was delicious, I also good the drunken noodles which were good but I didn’t really like that they used dried basil flakes instead of fresh basil. However it seems like this place is family owned and operated so let’s support them.
