Reviews for Tara Thai Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, MD

Friendly enough. But the food fail tremendously. If I had time I would return all. Spring rolls over cooked externally (burnt)... and internal (mushy); Pad Thai noodles mushy and lackluster taste. Two bites- decided it wasn't worth the calories. Read more

Pad Thai was not great. It was good, and it hit the spot, but the noodles were incredibly soggy and it felt like they were... throwing in random ingredients to overcompensate. The beef was overcooked and tough, and the cocktails we ordered were not madewell - very hard, like there's a difference between a "strong" drink and a glass with nothing but tequila with a small dash ofthe other ingredients. Service got 4 stars because the waitress gave us attitude for asking to sit outside, which was odd. Whenanother table came to sit outside as well, they asked to sit in the second gazebo and she told them "no, because I'm the onlywaitress here" - on one hand, that's understandable in most situations. On the other hand, it was no more than 20ft from thedoor which is immediately next to the kitchen, and there was a total of 3 tables dining in at the time, including us. Not likethe waitress would have had to walk across the parking lot to get to them? So not sure why she made such a big deal out of it. Read more

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

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! Read more

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 halffilled, that picture is of an untouched drink. Pathetic. I?ve never seen anything like it. Read more

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 themain reason why I'm giving three stars. My coworker asked a question about the food and received an answer. When they said "ohreally" our waiter replied with a snarky "yes really". The other part is that if you took too long to place your order she wouldheavily breath and just walk away. Like I said, I understand there were a lot of people, but at the same time don't show yourcustomers that side. Sometimes the best thing to do is to walk in the back and take a deep breath and calm the mind for asecond. I do however, commend her for handling both large tables. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more
