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!

Vegetarian options: Start out vegetarian and add protein

Ultra slow service. “We’re working on it 5 more mins. Almost ready.” 15 mins later I walked out.

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

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.

The food was amazing! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome. The gentleman who took my order was very kind and courteous. I ordered my food to go and he was nice enough to give me a water to drink while I waited for my food. The food came out quickly and everything was correct. Nice central location, plenty of parking, and the prices were very fair.

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.

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
