Tara Thai Montgomery Mall

Bethesda, Maryland

This time round the tom Yan soup is better . I like the mango sticky rice

Food was great! Menu stated that for a part of 5 or more they add 18% gratuity. I took my family of 7 so I was not surprised to see it added but it was 20% instead of 18%.

A beautiful restaurant and the service was prompt and friendly. The food was very oily and the tofu in both of our dishes was not freshly fried, which I have never experienced before in a Thai restaurant.

Haven?t ordered in a long time, picked up food tonight and very disappointed that curry entree came with a toddler portion of rice. Added rice to curry and now I have curry soup!

review continued......bugs floating in drinks. Waiter very annoyed with us because we did not want to pay after she told us ?bugs in the food is perfectly normal? SHe huffed and puffed in a very annoyed way. In addition, the drinks came out half filled, that picture is of an untouched drink. Pathetic. I?ve never seen anything like it.

The food was good, but the service was a little poor. My party had 14 people in it (which I know is a lot) and then a party of 6 came in after us. Our waiter seemed to be overwhelmed with waiting both tables (which is understandable) but her attitude is the main reason why I'm giving three stars. My coworker asked a question about the food and received an answer. When they said "oh really" our waiter replied with a snarky "yes really". The other part is that if you took too long to place your order she would heavily breath and just walk away. Like I said, I understand there were a lot of people, but at the same time don't show your customers that side. Sometimes the best thing to do is to walk in the back and take a deep breath and calm the mind for a second. I do however, commend her for handling both large tables.

Good food. My favorite is the pad see ew with beef. This time, I tried and enjoyed the garlic shrimp. Everything I have tried has been good. I will be working my way through the menu. Small restaurant so it can get very busy during meal times.

Nice for spicy Thai food. Crowds for this smaller location start around 6pm for dinner. Good service. Refreshing iced coffee or tea. Soups are great. Enjoy.
