“ Really excellent. The sea bass was cooked to perfection with Thai herbs and a nice reduction. Egg rolls were very good, crispy, hot, and flavorful. Service was superb, friendly and efficient. If weather permits, the patio is a delightful place to sit. ”
“ ordered over 600 worth of takeout for a photoshoot lunch, and everything was perfect— food was great and neatly packed, the thai iced tea is delicious, the to go napkins are so proper, their service and attitudes were so kind. They deserved the tip and good reviews. ”
“ Very cool Thai place. The place makes you feel like you are home. Great customer service as soon as you enter. If the weather permits eat out on the deck. Comfortable seating. I ordered the wings and I gotta say it was great. Nice lite crisp to it with some honey on there. I usually don't put sauce on my wings, but I had to try it and I gotta say it added some more flavor to the wings. Definitely would order again and visit this place again. ”
“ Amazing local spot! We got golden squid, drunken noodles with beef and the mango paradise (the crunchiness of the cashews are little bursts of joy!) Chef, my respects, food is so good! The service is great, they never leave you waiting for too long. 10/10 ”
“ The wonton soup is my new favorite comfort meal. Must try the mango sticky rice. So delicious. Really great food and service. Indoor and outdoor seating available with a beautiful back patio and oak tree. ”
“ Meal here was delicious! Went as a group of 3 and each of us loved our food choices: Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Drunken Noodle. Really fair pricing, quick and friendly service, and pretty fair pricing. I’d happily get Thai here again! There’s also a nice covered patio for warmer days or with a jacket. Pro tip: there’s a small parking lot in the back of the building with a few spots reserved for Tara Thai. ”
“ 7/27/2024 Dining on the patio, surrounded by the refreshing negative ions from the giant trees, is always such a pleasant and comfortable experience. My friends, my spouse, and I have come here many times. We enjoyed a relaxing time with the Seafood Mix with Vegetables (19.50) and Pad Kee Mao (14.50), paired with Evolution Red Blend Wine (9) and Thai Iced Tea (4.50). The food was elegant and delicious. ”
“ A really lovely place - highly recommend. The patio is indeed lovely; I was able to sit in its shade which was wonderfully cool on a hot July day. The menu was fresh and everything came promptly and was delicious. I was also lucky enough to get one of their whole fresh coconuts! I drank my juice with my meal to cool down, and then ate the meat as a dessert. The place overall was clean, there is a small parking lot behind, and the staff was delightful and friendly. Really a 5 star experience. ”
