First stop 2015 for the Foodies group was Thai Time, located on Highland Street.

This quaint, family owned and operated restaurant is a perfect little venue for some authentic Thai food and I should mention is BYOB.

I have been to Thai Time several times, and each time I have had a great meal. Typically, I always order the Thai Time Lad-Nar. Such a delicious dish; chicken, vegetables, and egg in a light brown sauce, highly recommend. However, since I was just finishing a New Year Resolution of a body detox, I had to keep it light.
To start we ordered some Edamame, always a favorite healthy snack. For my meal, I ordered the Cashew Nut Chicken – Pineapple, bamboo shoots, carrots, onion, green peppers, mushrooms, and cashew nuts. The meal came with a side of white rice; the dish was spicy, but not overly. I would say one star on the spice scale. I thought the meal came with the perfect serving of chicken and ample vegetables. The flavor was excellent; a Thai based blend of spices in a light sauce, not too heavy and full of flavor with some spice. For my beverage (recall detox = sans alcohol) I ordered the Thai Iced Tea; this is brewed tea with coconut milk, so tasty, a bit sweet yet very good.

I will certainly be back to Thai Time. Give it a try!

This was my second trip to Thai Time. I cannot recall what I had the first time but this second time around was delicious. The place itself is not much to look at and is non-descript. The service was attentive and timely and I found they came back to refill water glasses and tea as needed. This place is a BYOB establishment with a bit of a twist. They charge you a 2:00 dollar fee to bring in your alcohol.

My husband and I started with an appetizer of “Satay Chicken—” thin slices of chicken grilled and skewered. It comes with two dipping sauces, a clear sweet sauce and a peanut sauce. The chicken was juicy and cooked to perfection.

For my entrée I ordered the “Thai Time Lad-Nar,” I would usually order the Masaman curry as it is my favorite but wanting to try something new I went out on a limb and ordered this. I am so happy I did, it was fantastic. It comes with chicken and shrimp doused in brown gravy with wide noodles, baby corn, broccoli and bits of browned egg accompanied the sauce. No hot spice to speak of in this dish but very flavorful and did not need the spice. If you prefer less spice in your dishes this would be the one for you. I imagine they could spice if up but the way it was served was perfect for me. I would return and recommend this place.
