Reviews for Thai Tara in Newport News, VA
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 Thaifood and I love fish sauce but not to the point that my chicken larb tastes like I'm eating fish. The drunken noodles, friedrice, and duck rolls were okay but sadly I don't think we will be returning. Read more
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’vehad. 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. Read more
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 thewrong side of the building, so if you have trouble finding it, that might be why) Read more
Was so good! The thai tea is highly recommended. Pan See Ew and Tom Kha soup were very tasty!
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 somefried tofu that included some nice sour sauce with crushed peanuts. However, the calamari we ordered were obviously the kind youget that’s already pre-made and frozen so that was a bit disappointing. Our entreé’s were the pad thai and their chef’sspecial Spicy Chicken which were delicious. The pad thai serving was on the smaller side and we’d prefer the bean spouts tonot be as overcooked but it was decent. Then the spicy chicken was good flavor-wise but the breading was a lot thicker than theactual piece of meat and the bowl of jasmine rice included was a small scoop amount. Overall serving sizes fall on the smallerspectrum but the taste was pretty decent. Read more
The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. I ordered the mixed vegetables, Jasmine rice, and chicken. It was a nice sized... portion and cooked well. It was delicious. My server was polite and attentive. Read more
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 comeback for more! Pricing is also perfect- only paid around $50 for a coffee, two appetizers, and two entrees! With how wonderfulthe experience was, I honestly expected the bill to be higher before the check came out.

A decent little Thai food place. The food was delivered pretty quickly and tasted pretty good. The waitress was very happy to... help and attentive. I had the summer rolls and Thai Tara low mein and it was tasty. I'll be back to try some other foods. Read more
