A friend and I craved Thai food when we were strolling on the beach and dropped by. Not many people on a weekday evening, playing light music. The lady was welcoming. I ordered Spicy Fried Rice with Tofu. It was great. Not too large of portions if you are very hungry. Service was quick and she checked on us a couple of times.
Theyβre amazing here! Have all the classics like pad thai, see ew, and tom yum soup down So you can imagine how incredible the others are! Shawna and her crew are so hospitable!
Great little spot tucked into the corner of a strip mall on pch. Won Ton soup great, as was chicken sate. Sorry, no beef sate on menu π. Spring rolls super hot, had to wait for them to cool before I could eat them! And steamed chicken goyoza were great too!
The food is not good period. I have a salty palette and I still found the food super salty. I asked for Thai spicy (pad kra pow beef), it was maybe regular spicy, but extra salty. Food tasted old. Extremely meager portion for a main course. The sa te had more meat then the entre. The sa te was old tasting and not pounded thin or sliced thin. Peanut sauce was not good. One and done
Update food is inedible.
Soooo good! 10/10! Our server, Supatra, was awesome! She helped me order a delicious vegetarian curry. We had spring rolls, green curry with tofu, Thai Beer, white wine, and fried rice. Good lighting and music playing. 5 stars!

Halloween Trick...It's no treat...It's a cheat! Fool me once...What is supposed to make Thai food so special (the mix of herbs and spices) never gets put on the table. What they list on the menue...asperagus gets turned to cheap long green beans, greasy and raw. Salmon was tasteless...(probably frozen). You have to start with quality product to produce quality meals. And you can't cheat and make it up. Charge high prices...deliver great murchendise...OR CHEAT!
Duck salad? Fat, scraps, and the few dried out small hard chunks of duck do not justify the hiked up price you charge...It's a cheat!
No mint leaves, no lemongrass, no nothing but cilantro. No chilli mark on
the menue...but it came spicy. Huge mistake!
The appitizer, Chicken Slate came cold to the table...so tough we couldn't chew it. Rice, salmon, beans all came cold after waiting an extraordinarily long time in a virtually empty restaurant.
The service was non-existent. She took the order. Put the food down and we were left sitting while she kept walking in and out of the restaurant...(for a smoke?)
P.S.
I went next door to the Metro store where she has a "jewelry selection" for sale...found out the truth...no smoking theory holds here...
The "kiss of death" for a restaurant for me is...louse up...admit you have when it's pointed out...and STILL FULLY CHARGE!
I paid $45.00...left hungry...and went next door to Lupita's Mexican Restaurant where we had delicious fish tacos.
That "next time we'll comp you" doesn't work! You should ALWAYS get what you pay for...there will be no next time. Fool me once...and once only! On my top 10 Worst Restaurants list.
The food makes you feel very, very good.I can feel the love

We walked in Tara Thai after finding out a nearby favorite restaurant was booked for a party. We knew nothing about Thai food, so the owner made some recommendations for us - outstanding food, fantastic service in a friendly atmosphere - we'll definitely be back!
Dont eat here. They take forever to make a take out order that was ordered over a mobile app and then give me a hassle about handing over the food. The guy literally wouldn't hand over the bag until I let him look through the app, as if I'm trying to scam them or something.
Went for lunch. Very good
Fantastic food with a warm welcome and service from the staff. Will definitely return.
I ordered online 6 entrees. It did not say while ordering the curries do not come with rice. What Thai restaurant does not offer rice with curries? I had to go back out to the grocery store to buy rice to cook at home. Watch out for the auto gratuity on takeout too. Will not come back.

The best Thai food Iβve ever eaten. Wonton soup, fried rice, and spicy eggplant were all amazing. Ask for the chili paste
Food was great! I had the Pad Thai and it was very tasty and plenty of food. Almost didn't finish it.
So cheap! The lunch special is HUGE and less than $10. You choose your meat i.e. pork, beef, chicken, etc. (seafood extra) then your dish. There are so many to choose from including a delicious Pad Thai or Laksa Noodle Soup. My absolute favourite is Chilli and Basil with chicken. A combination of flavours - spicy and sweet. The chicken pieces are wok tossed with a mix of Asian vegetables, fresh basil leaves and chilli. This delicious stir-fry is served with steaming hot rice.
Tara Thai is great for work lunches because it is in an ideal location and the meals are all so affordable. In addition to the $10 lunch deal they also have a $30 set menu options which is great for larger groups as you get a bunch of different mains, entrees and sides so everyone can share!

Always solid! Love getting takeout from here and food is always excellent and ready so fast!
Ordered pick up and every single dish was fresh and tasted great!
We ordered the panang curry with chicken, Thai dumplings, basil noodles, & veggie fried rice. New go to Thai place in the area.

Best curry in the South Bay! We frequent this place for their red curry, yummmm!
Avoid. Service terrible. Wait too long.
Only takeout. Good thai faire, tastes home cooked. Not fancy or special, but fine for a home cooked meal, solid, no frills. Good service, nice staff, quick.
Food was edible, not really what I was expecting, you know with the price $$... But don't buy the bobo tea, it's was over half ice, all the balls were stuck together.. very disappointing end to a mediocre meal...
The pad thai is MY FAVORITE. Itβs the best Iβve had in the valley. The curry is delicious too. The thai tea is also so good! Itβs definitely a hidden gem!
The food is wonderful especially the soup
I ordered veg panag curry and it was awesome. Lady prepared as per need, very accommodative. I am proper vegetarian and I dont take fish sauce or egg or chicken broth in my good. They prepared my food perfect.
Recommend to go
Food was great, except ordered wrong noodles and they accommodated, and exchanged for different noodles. Greatly recommend their food.
Delicious Food!!
I love penang curry !!
great staff excellent food great prices
Always the best thai hands down
Ordered three dishes to take out via Grubhub. I would say that both the quality and quantity of the food need lots of improvement
OMG! how nice this ladies are here, thank you so much for always being so considered with the delivery partners, I wish I can give you a thousand stars. despite of what the delivery platform is offering me for a pick up at this restaurant I will always accept
Ordered 9 a la carte items for pick up at 11:15am and Willie had it ready perfectly. All items a were delicious π
This place is great!
Appropriate masking, hand sanitizer and social distancing made picking up food healthy and easy. Great service and food at affordable prices. I mentioned it was my birthday dinner, and they put in an order of eggrolls on the house!
The lady body shamed me and I was just delivering the food to people
Buena comida thai y buen servicio
Nearly $10 for two Thai iced teas that tasted really stale. I wanted my girlfriend to try Thai tea for the first time, but this place had the worst Thai tea I have ever had.
Had the papaya salad. FML. It was tooooo authentic. Only order it if you want REAL Thai food. This place is legit
The best fried rice I've had in South Bay, handily.
I've never been to this restaurant before, I'm a delivery driver and when i got there there was a line for people to pick up deliveries and it seemed as tho people were canceling orders because the hostess kept returning the orders to the kitchen. Every name she called out never didn't respond or was probably wrong.
Please make sure you guys are keeping good tabs on orders and their numbers. She called out a number before me 15 mins after it was cancelled.
Nice place! Traditional Thai menu, dishes all nicely done. We had pumpkin curry (made with kabocha squash) that was excellent, and pad see ew and crying tiger beef that were both very tasty but not spicy.
The green curry was superb.
It was good as always but very slow service.
Great food but it took far too long.
Food was ok, nothing impressive and salad dressing was disappointing.
Thai foods are also awesome! NIce place!
Yummy shrimp rolls
It's close by and convenient, great food always fresh, I love their eggplant Seafood
Food is delicious here
Good food
Consistently delicious food. Fresh vegetables, good portions, fragrant spices, friendly owner & staff, comfortable atmosphere. This is my go-to Thai restaurant.
Excellent Thai
Decent food but poor value. Go to Thai Dishes instead.
Friendly service!
Intimate close to the beach
Nice lunch at Thai Restaurant.
Love it!
Always quiet, but service is fast
Pleasantly surprised when I order from DoorDash. I ordered a salad and it was very fresh. The steamed dumplings were great and the pad see ew was really tasty. Iβll definitely be ordering again.
Delicious pumkin curry. Great and friendly service. My husband loves the spicy fired rice with chicken he has been suggesting this place for dinner a lot lately. A nice spot to dine in for lunch and dinner.
Really nice semi late night hang-out dinner with a buddy. Yellow curry was especially good.

Excellent authentic Thai flavor. I think this place is one of the best Thai places here. I often take my client's there
Great lunch specials. Had the Red Curry Tofu bowl. Wow. Sweet coconut flavor. Lots of vegetables served w white rice and salad. $9.95. A definite return restaurant.
Great food and service.
Good food
Good food
I think this is one of the best Thai restaurants which serves really tasty food and the service is just impeccable.
Never ate Thai before trying this.....LOVE it! The waitress is so nice and helps a newbie like me to understand what I am getting. Moving & definitely will miss going here to eat! Must try!
Food is just OK, not the best whatsoever. Hate when thai restaurants charge extra for rice. He is not the exception. Rice is expensive. 1.50 a small portion. Never going back.
Amazing food! My family loves this place. A quiet little setting and prices are great. Highly recommend
It was the best tofu I've had yet and the rove noodles were cooked to perfection.
