Thai restaurant and tapas food
Me and girlfriend decided to try Thai thara for the first time as a date night and I was not impressed by the food unfortunately. The atmosphere is beautiful and our server was very kind. However, I ordered their Tom yum soup for $13 and it was very poor quality in my opinion. There was an overwhelming amount of mushrooms, huge chunks of tomatoes , and very little chicken. When I let the server know I didn’t like it he went to ask a manager or family employee and they told him that he still had to charge me 50% because it was already made. I was upset, but I understood it being a family owned business. He offered to remake it/ fix it , but I had lost my appetite at that point. I politely agreed to pay the 50% , but the server ended up removing the cost from our bill completely which we appreciated very much. The pad Thai was good, but the veggie rolls came with very little shrimp. Sometimes there will always be a negative experience when it comes to dining, but I know they have other foods that I will like more. I think that when it comes to food people should be able to send it back if it has been prepared poorly. We don’t go out to eat often so when we do it is important that we enjoy our experience.
Thai Tara is an intimate little spot with a relaxed vibe. It was obvious on my visit that they seem to do good take-out business. Dining in myself, I was able to take in a little atmosphere and sample the full customer service experience. Host and wait staff was friendly and helpful. Our drinks and meals arrived in a timely manner. Glasses never ran dry. Best of all the food was absolutely delicious. Freshly prepared and flavorful. I cleaned my plate. Would have wanted more but the portion size was perfect. Filled me up. For sure a spot to try if you enjoy Thai dishes
It's my first time eating here—five in my family. The menu has a lot of variety for the adventurous to the very selective. We have a mix. Our Ordered Pad Thai, Drunken noodles, Pad see ew, fried rice with chicken and krispy chicken teriyaki.
Finished the event with one of each dessert. 😋 my only wish us the space was larger. It was a little warm but it was a very hot day. Give it a try Doordash, Grubhub. Or just stop by.
In-person dined. Ordered the coconut milk soup/w pork and eggplant curry. It was very good soup with lots of veggies and pork. The eggplant curry was very good. Tasted super fresh and the curry sauce was so appropo- not heavy nor light - just right. The restaurant ambiance was pleasant - low key but lively. A worthwhile dining experience! Update / Lunch was good - especially the spring rolls!!
Very good customer service! I got to the car and open my food and it wasn’t what I asked for so I took it back and explained to the lady this not what I order so I repeated what I ask for and she said 5 minutes I will make for you. I order Pad Thai with noddles and it was so so good as always. Will return again Now went back today Saturday and not fixed the way it was fixed the other night
Got veggie pad Thai today for lunch and it smelt like straight fish. The smell was unbelievably strong i can’t believe they even served it to me. I couldn’t stomach the smell alone but i still took a bite anyway to at least try it and oh my g** it tasted like fish. That it was all i could taste I instantly threw up in my mouth. Maybe it is because i am pregnant and my sense of smell is stronger as well as my stomach being more sensitive i don’t know but i have never had pad Thai before that tasted like straight fish. On top of that the noodles were very chewy. I was beyond disappointed i told my waiter all of this and at first her and another worker who came over refused to take it fully off the bill they offered to remake it i told them no thank you as i lost my appetite. I asked if they could just take it off the bill and they said no they offered taking 50% off but not fully taking it off reason being because i had a bite of it. I got frustrated and straight up told them that was ridiculous. After they saw me get frustrated over that they offered to take it fully off.
I have came here before and had curry and it was very good but this experience alone was so bad it has me never wanting to come back again.
If you come here i do not recommend the pad thai at all.
I also had the fried chicken dumplings today and they were burnt. :( I do not recommend those either.
I do recommend the duck spring rolls and the regular spring rolls those were delicious.
This is my third time eating in at this nice quaint quiet restaurant establishment. The service remains professional and with attentiveness. The staff is always polite from entering the door. The food is 5*********'s. I love the Pad Thai with shrimp and today I tried the blue crab and shrimp fried rice. Sooooooo delicious. And ohhh how could I forget the coconut soup with shrimp.as my protein. The sweet tea is always so perfectly sweetened. Lasty, this restaurant is always very clean. I pray this establishment is richly bkessed with customers after my review. I also wish them Gods blessings to continue to serve with excellence.

BEST Thai restaurant I've ever eaten at! It even rivals my mother's homemade Thai food, lol! ;)
Everything we got today was delicious. Only thing I noticed was that "Medium" spicy was not spicy at all- so I'll have to try the next level up when I come back for more!
Pricing is also perfect- only paid around $50 for a coffee, two appetizers, and two entrees! With how wonderful the experience was, I honestly expected the bill to be higher before the check came out.

Tried this on our way back to VB. It's IA a quaint shopping area. Food was very good, if you like spicy Thai food, be careful, they do it Thai hot!
best Thai spot in the area- coming from someone who is half Thai and grew up with homemade Thai food and have been to the land! Order pad se ew, drunken noodle, pad Thai and the basil ga pao!
Ultra slow service. “We’re working on it 5 more mins. Almost ready.” 15 mins later I walked out.

Thai Tara has the best shrimp drunken noodles in town ! I've tried almost all the Thai places in Hampton roads & no one can beat their shrimp drunken noodles ! I will never go to any other Thai restaurant again , Thai Tara is my number one place from now on !
Excellent food, polite service, quiet atmosphere, good portions.

Delicious food at a very reasonable price. An easy place to recommend for lunch.
I've been to a lot of Thai Restaurants and had been there twice. Hmmm… the second time didn't pass.
Absolutely love their curry!! So yummy
Everything was great
I've been going here for years. The food is consistently good.
The curry puffs were my absolute favorite! The food was ready when I arrived and everything I ordered like the pad thai, and Thai tea were fantastic!!! I will definitely be coming here again! The restaurant was clean and the staff were super friendly! I would recommend this place to anyone!
So I’ve been here before for dinner and lunch. Today my husband and I went for dinner. I ordered a pad Thai, not spicy. First off it took a while to get our waters and for them to come back to get our order even though we said we were ready to order. But my pad Thai came back super spicy. I told the waitress and she apologized and after drinking 2 cups of water. She told me don’t worry about it, she wouldn’t charge for the pad Thai. I said ok. We waited to see if they would drop us our check they didn’t and I saw another customer go to the counter to pay so I went to the counter. When I went to pay I saw the pad Thai charge on it. When I asked the girl about it she said oh no I wasn’t charging you for the 1st pad Thai…. I was in such shock like you screwed that up, not me and you have the nerve to tell me you were going to charge me for that and didn’t even discount or accommodate the inconvenience for messing up my order. The food is good but with that service you won’t see me or my coworkers or family again. Very disappointed ,
First time trying Thai food, and it was an amazing experience. They start with mild spicy (not all the foods) and from there is upon you. The food was really tasty, I totally recommend the Soups and curry. The fried rice is good too.
Delicious food! I love that they include a ton of fresh vegetables in the soup and curries, it’s a big plus. Very flavorful and fresh.
Great Food :) highly recommend
The best Thai food we have had in the area! We started out with the Bangkok shrimp and the summer rolls, both were delicious and the dipping sauces were delightful! I got the pad thai at a medium with tofu and it was filling, actually a medium spice, and delicious! My partner got the garlic pepper stir fry with chicken and he said it is one of only two other dishes that had the perfect amount of garlic, which is to say too much garlic for me but enough for a garlic lover! The service was fantastic and the ambiance was perfection.
Best Thai food in the area. Worth the price!
Delicious Thai food. Tastes similar to food in Thailand not Americanised
I met some friends from out of town here for lunch. It was our first time. Everyone was pleased with their meal. I was shocked at how affordable this place was. With the cost of eating out these days, it was a pleasant surprise.
The food was delicious, I have no complaints and plan on returning. The server was polite and friendly; we didn't have to wait long for our meal despite how busy it was here.
Service was excellent. Food dish was mediocre.
Food was great!! Good portions. Server was very very nice. Music was nice. Everything was clean. If you’re looking for a gorgeous place for a casual date this is the place.
First time visit here and was very impressed. I’ve had authentic Thai food in Thailand and this place brings Thailand to VA. They have a diverse menu with great pricing. I went basic this time and got the fried Thai dumplings, Pad Thai with chicken, Mango sticky rice, and Thai tea. Everything was delicious and came out fresh and hot. Impeccable and speedy service with good portions as well. Will definitely return to explore more of the menu.
So good!
To be honest, I was VERY surprised. It was a small quaint restaurant. The food was outstanding. And man the staff where attentive and friendly. The drinks from the bar were not very good. Other than that it was great and we will definitely be back.
Update: I've been back to the restaurant twice now. Everything was good. Brought 4 family members who have never had Thai food and they all loved it!!! Drinks where good this time around too!
It’s always a pleasure whenever I go. The customer service is great and the food is even better. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu.
Great night to take my wife out for dinner on a rainy night.
Good food and portion size. Pleasant place for a quiet meal.
Everything was delicious and the service was excellent
Excellent 👌 curry in particular is good. Mango sticky rice is also good.
Nice ambiance, quiet, many options, great tasting food.
Panang curry was a bit too watery and the spice wasnt right the shrimp pad thai was solid
Very bad experience!!! Asked for an idea server said that they have it, paid money for it and was served a completely different item!!! For how much money they charge they need to do better
Really love this place! Food is so good every time. We’ve been here over a dozen times in the past year. Really consistent.
Very good
Thai Tara is my absolute favorite Thai restaurant locally. I order the green curry with Indian pancakes as my appetizer every time and it keeps getting better. Laad Na is another favorite, but all of the dishes I've had (in 10 or so visits) are incredible!
This is by far the best Thai restaurant in the area. Would highly recommend, definitely will return.
A lot of menu items. Usually get pineapple fried rice with chicken and tofu. Cashews and everything in it are perfect!
Small cute place. Delicious food. We got pad that and Tom khan and both were great!
This was our first time here and from the moment we walked in, it was a tremendous experience. We had spring rolls for an appetizer. They were served nice and hot and were perfectlly fried..
I chose the drunken noodles with tofu for my entrée and my husband had sweet and sour stir fry with tofu. The flavors were absolutely amazing. The portions were perfect as we did not feel uncomfortably overstuffed. Totally authentic Thai food.
Alex and the rest of the staff were polite, friendly and very appreciative of our patronage. We also noticed that the customers coming in for take away orders was constant, which speaks volumes!
Even though we live in Norfolk, we will be back. For the quality and the price, this gem cannot be beat.
Very nice service and food was quickly prepared.
Super delish Thai place with flavorful authentic Thai cuisine, been here twice now & ordering extras to go ! Drunken noodles were very flavorful, tom ka soup packed with veggies & your choice of protein & super yum! Spring rolls, we're fresh & loved the peanut sauce. For dessert the mango sticky rice with soft sweet mango & festive sticky rice in sweet coconut cream.... lots to choose from ..... enjoy! Yummmm
They have the best shrimp and crab meat fried rice! To die for!
It's my first time eating here—five in my family. The menu has a lot of variety for the adventurous to the very selective. We have a mix. Our Ordered Pad Thai, Drunken noodles, Pad see ew, fried rice with chicken and krispy chicken teriyaki.

Best experience so far! Excellent food, superb service.
Always a good stop for Thai when coming from Busch Gardens back to Norfolk area. Ample parking and clean interior. Staff are pleasant and courteous. Love the garlic pepper dish w/fried tofu.
AC down, kinda warm but food was great
Great service and food was fresh and tasty.
Yes very authentic.
My Thai wife approves.
One of me and my daughter's favorite place to eat
Very satisfied with the recommendation from the staff. Food was excellent and service was very friendly and attentive.
Food was fresh with a good level of spice! Definitely going back to try something new!
Thai was amazing, drinks specials were great, service was perfect, must visit!
We've been here multiple times, we've eaten in the restaurant and ordered out and the food is ALWAYS fantastic and the portions are huge. Our favorites are Massaman curry, Pad Phrik, and Gulf of the Sea (oh and the curry puffs are to die for). But even the basic like mixed veggies and fried rice are amazing. Definitely a favorite.
Great little quaint restaurant tucked away...food was awesome!
Best Thai food I've had in Hampton Roads. Drunken noodles were on point. Fried tofu was perfectly done. Great service, phenomenal atmosphere.
What a nice place tucked away a bit in a small strip mall, yet the presence, cleanliness, and atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. It's nicely decorated, considerably nicer than most restaurants In strip malls.
The waiter was exceptionally nice and responsive. And the food was great with generous portions at a reasonable price. Everything tasted fresh. You should not hesitate to try them out.
Everything was fantastic. The food was perfect. We split the duck spring rolls and they were the perfect size for the table. I had the Khua Kai and it was delicious. The Thai basil martini was amazing. I can't gush about Thai Tara enough. Please visit.
Attentive and helpful staff. Food is delicious. Love this place 👍
Service was great and so was the food.
I'm addicted to this place!! I love the green curry and sweet n sour chicken!!! Can't go wrong with any of the apps and some Thai tea :D
Great lowkey vibe inside the restaurant & the staff are super sweet.
Went with friends a few times. This place is small and unassuming but clean and the food is phenomenal for the area. Waitstaff are not native EN speakers so be sure to speak clearly and have them read back orders (Once a miscommunication resulted in someone getting Shrimp fried rice instead of chicken! they made it right but we felt so bad!)
They deserve all the love and praise. It's a nice operation with a good menu, including veggie options. Good place for a date or a bro's night out alike. The prices are reasonable, since you can't exactly put a price on good quality.
100% for cleanliness including the (one) bathroom
100% for the consistently tasty meals.
100% for the overall experience
It's not michelin, but it's everything a good Thai place should be.
My go-to for Thai.
very good.
Great food with friendly and fast service that had reasonable pricing along with decent portions as well. Drinks were inexpensive and measured perfectly. No watering down to get you to buy more. Good restaurant for a first date or family meal. Very relaxed and inviting with comfortable seating. Maybe in the summer have an outdoor seating option.
Great place. Friendly staff!
Delicious and quick takeout! Really enjoyed the Pineapple Fried Rice with Shrimp and the Satay Chicken. Mild spice level on the fried rice still had great flavor and the right amount of kick. Coconut soup also yummy 👍
I grabbed takeout from here while on a business trip. 4.5-stars was enough to entice me to give it a try. Chicken Pad Thai with medium heat level was *PERFECT* and I tried the coconut soup with chicken on the recommendation if another review. I was not disappointed.
Food was absolutely delicious staff was fantastic and atmosphere was very friendly and very much a home feeling. Left feeling well satisfied in taste fullness(due to nice proportions) and absolutely wonderful staff.
Food is always GOOD. Service is best
In-person dined. Ordered the coconut milk soup/w pork and eggplant curry. It was very good soup with lots of veggies and pork. The eggplant curry was very good. Tasted super fresh and the curry sauce was so appropo- not heavy nor light - just right. The restaurant ambiance was pleasant - low key but lively. A worthwhile dining experience! Update / Lunch was good - especially the spring rolls!!
Ausome food, great service, highly recommended 👌 👍 😀
Thai Tara has been one of my favorite Thai restaurants for years, but lately the food has not been as good. The pad see ew is extremely hit or miss over the past month or so. It actually seems like they changed the chef or something? The curries are always consistently good. Pad Thai is also hit or miss lately. Will update my review if things change.
So excellent. Best Thai in the area!
Service is exceptional. They’re always so friendly and helpful and the food comes in a timely fashion. So delicious. Recommend their curries, Pad see ew and Lad na!
Give them a go! Mild and medium is a good level of hot for us.
The new owners here made us glad we gave this location a try after they changed their name.
Edit: 2021- different lunch menu not quite regulars anymore- we have moved over to Thaijindesu ❤️Port Warwick
I crave their food almost daily!
EDIT: their coconut chicken soup is to die for.
Second edit: haven’t been there in about a year-because they went to “lunch and dinner” price menu and if you don’t specify the lunch or dinner if you’re ordering lunch during lunch you’ll get charged dinner prices and the portions are identical… :( We felt a bit ripped off since five of us went and the prices were significantly higher than what we were used to.
This staff was very friendly and helpful. Our server helped my wife select from the menu and she was right on! The food was delicious and was served in a very timely manner. This restaurant is something that Denbigh doesn't have many of-
a real gem!
Delicious
My favorite Thai Restaurant!! I have tried most in the Hampton Roads area. They are the best
Very Delicious! Had the spring rolls, summer rolls, and Pad See-Ew. The peanut sauce for the summer rolls was perfect! The serving of shrimp in the Pad See-Ew was very generous!
All of the hot food was served hot. Even the signs in the bathroom seem to encourage eliminating food-borne illnesses.
This is a restaurant I would love to return to next time I’m in the area!
Great food and service!
Delicious food and fast service!
Excellent Tom Kha soup. Excellent Summer Rolls. Everything fresh tasting and delicious.
Best Thai food I've had in Hampton Roads!
Enjoyed the spiciness of the Drunken Noodles
First visit was good. The food and service was amazing and hope to return again soon.
so delicious and an amazing staff.
I love this place. Their food is delicious and restaurant is very clean.
This was my first time ordering here and the food was AMAZING! I will defiantly be back
Always yummy
Very friendly staff, great Mai Tai’s!
Delicious pineapple curry! Medium had the right amount of heat but they can turn it up if you want! Curry puffs were delicious and the service was professional and kind. Will definitely come back! Next time with pics
Really good Thai food. I searched Google maps for Thai restaurants and sorted by distance and this one popped up... I ordered without realizing how far away it was (20 minutes), which is weird because I know there's at least 4 Thai restaurants closer than this. So either Google is playing favorites or their mapping software that's been out for like 15 years still hasn't figured out how distance works.
Their shrimp appetizer, drunken noodles and both red and green curry were pretty awesome.
I tried their Thai street noodle soup and it was bad. I rather just make the noodles myself. If it was cheaper maybe it would have been worth it but for 15 dollars I would have taken mcdonalda.
We were super excited to try this place for my sister's birthday dinner after reading the reviews. Sadly 3 out of the 4 of us were disappointed with our food. There was a very heavy use of fish sauce that overwhelmed the flavor of our dishes. I love Thai food and I love fish sauce but not to the point that my chicken larb tastes like I'm eating fish. The drunken noodles, fried rice, and duck rolls were okay but sadly I don't think we will be returning.
Great food and service! We ordered fried dumplings as a starter, which were delicious and crispy. The tapas menu has so many great options that you could probably just order a bunch of items off this menu and call it a day. I was also happy to see less common curries (panang, massaman) on the menu!
For our entrees my partner ordered the bang bang chicken and I got the pad see ew with shrimp. I asked for mine medium spicy and it came out perfectly hot and the shrimp were cooked well. We also got the mango sticky rice for dessert and that was awesome as well.
Even better yet, our total bill was only $50. Overall this place exceeded expectations. We live in Richmond and usually pay more for lesser quality Thai food.
The service was top notch! the food fresh and flavorful. over all a 10!! We definitely will be coming back.
This was our first experience with Tara Thai and we were very pleased. We walked in and ordered dinner to go- our food came out very quickly. Each dish was excellent. We are very familiar with the local Thai restaurants and this easily was the best we’ve had. We even chatted with some regulars (a military family) while waiting and it was their favorite Thai restaurant. Fresh, delicious, and they got our order right- a totally positive experience.
Giving the rating of the number of shrimp we just received in our $50 order. Very disappointing that you would charge $2 extra for 2 shrimp. Then get loud as an owner because of the disappointment and supposedly the chefs not ever making that mistake so therefore you called me a liar.
Onto the next Thai place because I won't spend my money here anymore. I've given you 2 years!
The food and service are both great! I went at a slow time so that had some effect. Their double thai spicy is quite spicy and very satisfying. The food was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Staff and atmosphere super nice and casual. (Google took me to the wrong side of the building, so if you have trouble finding it, that might be why)
If you like an inch thick brick of stuck together noodles and hardly any chicken or veg to speak of, then the Pad Thai is definitely for you!
Do not waste your money on this place is a shame. I paid for fried chicken wonton and all it was about like fried chips with nothing on it same thing with the red curry it was so watery and had bad taste! NEVER AGAIN BUYING FOOD FROM THIS PLACE IS SO HORRIBLE!
Ordered from you yesterday. Paid for extra seafood. Got 1 scallop and 2 pieces of squid. Pure robbery....not what we expected
Worst experience ordered FRIED WANTONS AND THAI DUMPLINGS WHICH ARE STEAMED WITH CHICKEN AND WONTON SOUP. picked up order and was charged $22.00 for one order of wontons fried and wonton soup and flat fried wontons with no meat or anything in them. I called the lady said she put order in incorrectly but still charged me for something else and would NOT rectify her own mistake or give me my money back for the thai wontons. Thai papaya is better and has better customer service I would not recommend this place to anyone again. Horrible customer service.
Great taste on all the dishes that were prepared. Awesome service and very courteous love the location and the full experience
The red curry is on point like a decimal.
Employees were friendly, atmosphere good, but the food was not all that great in my opinion. Chicken was way too salty, I couldn't even finish it& didn't ask for a to go box. I ordered spicy chicken..all it was, was some fried chicken tossed in sweet Thai sauce&rice was cold. Nothing authentic about this particular dish.
First time here, the inside was very clean and well decorated. The host/waitress was extremely friendly and very helpful. Food was also excellent, the price was well worth the portion. The pineapple fried rice is amazing 10/10 recommended. Definitely plan to go back.
The food was good. The calamari needs to be fresh and maybe a little more kick to the fried tofu. The pad thai and thai tea were great. I liked the server, he was nice and checked in but didn't hover too much; something I always respect.
Went with friends and the ambiance of the place was cozy and welcoming. Our server was very courteous and stellar when it came to service. We started with some mango mai tai and their classic thai tea in which both were delicious. We then ordered some fried tofu that included some nice sour sauce with crushed peanuts. However, the calamari we ordered were obviously the kind you get that’s already pre-made and frozen so that was a bit disappointing. Our entreé’s were the pad thai and their chef’s special Spicy Chicken which were delicious. The pad thai serving was on the smaller side and we’d prefer the bean spouts to not be as overcooked but it was decent. Then the spicy chicken was good flavor-wise but the breading was a lot thicker than the actual piece of meat and the bowl of jasmine rice included was a small scoop amount. Overall serving sizes fall on the smaller spectrum but the taste was pretty decent.
Ordered from door dash.. delivery was fine..our food was not What we order..we got the combo with chicken shrimp pork and beef...but received chicken squid and shrimp. Then we open the rice and unlike other restaurants that give you more than you can eat...we got barely 1/2 cup of rice rediculous.. called the restaurant and the guy I talked to said order more rice next time instead of fixing our order. If I wasn't home sick.i would of brought it back... Customer service was totally inappropriate. That is why that got a 1⭐
$46 for 3 pad thai entrees!!! What the what??? For that price, I would expect a lot more flavor and great quality. This is just your standard run of the mill but very overpriced Thai place. Nothing special at all. I gave them 1 extra star because they do offer gluten free and the employees are friendly but regardless a disappointment based on the high reviews.
This is my all time favorite Thai restaurant. I LOVE their crispy duck with red curry. It is to die for. Spicy is actually spicy at this restaurant, so when I would order hot at other places, here I order medium.
The food is always delicious. The salad dressing is soooo good! Crab Rangoon is my fave
My go to Thai place! Love all their curry dishes!
A great family owned place. Their takeout is always good and delivered quickly.
The absolute, hands-down second best authentic Thai restaurant in the area. Quaint, but so, so good!
The Thai Iced Tea is amazing -- our family of five can get a jumbo size with no ice and it's perfect. The blue crab and shrimp fried rice, panang curry, Thai chili wings, and pad see ew are our favorite dishes. It's not loaded with sugar to accommodate American taste buds like a lot of places. Oh, oh, oh -- try the duck rolls and tom yum soup!! Honestly, you won't be disappointed with anything in the menu. We order from here, at least, once a month. The food is always great.
The service is appreciated, as they are always on time. The owner is very sweet and the staff has a similar pleasantness.
Everything was great. Fried tofu, fried dumplings, and pad kee mao Thai spicy.
I originally rated this restaurant 5 stars, but now I am reducing it after my second visit where I got food poisoning (I received a refund for this situation).
Both visits were a great experience overall, and everyone that I take here has enjoyed it. The restaurant is modern and clean, the staff is very friendly and positive, and the food is delicious! However, after my most recent trip, I fell ill the next morning with food poisoning that could only have been from this restaurant (as I had been feeling completely fine before eating here). It’s really unfortunate that I’m now uneasy about coming back to what was previously my favorite Thai place in Newport News.
This is one of my favorite places to eat! The food is amazing and the service is warm and friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Best thai food hands down! Just as good as my mother in law's
This is my favorite place to pickup lunch from! Their food is great (I must have tried at least half of the menu by this point) and the staff is incredibly friendly and always has my order ready on time. The restaurant is always clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommend!!
Had a great experience here tonight! After stopping by a few places that were closed for New Year's Eve, we stumbled upon this place and we are so thankful we did. We got the dumpling and Indian bread appetizers, my husband had the Pad Thai, and I got the Tom Yum Street Noodle Soup. Everything was SO good. They also offered kids' menu items that weren't listed in the menu. We got our kids the chicken and rice and they loved it. Their sauce for the dumplings and chicken was so good. And we loved the soup that came with the Indian Naan bread. The dining area was clean and cozy. The waitress came by several times to ask if we needed anything, bring water, and clear plates. And the cherry on top was how they turned the TV onto Peppa Pig for us when they saw that we have kids. I appreciated that little gesture so much! We hope to stop by again when we're in the area!
Excellent food and service!!
What really nice people, and delicious cuisine. I had the Crispy Duck and my wife had a coconut chicken dish. Both were wonderful. We had a great meal during our brief stay in Newport News. Yum!
It wasn't bad per se but it isn't worth revisiting. If you think mayo is spicy, this is your go-to spot.
