What People Are Saying About Thai Tara
The Editor
Contributor
Citysearch
In Short – Thai Tara opts for a simple, basic decor. Pastel peach-colored walls clash a bit with the gray, matte tables and angular black metal chairs. A large bar curves around the center of the restaurant. Veggie dishes include the tofu satay: spongy cubes ensconed in a puffy batter and mixed with a spicy peanut sauce. Bangkok shrimp is deep-fried with mozzarella and seaweed. Desserts include chilled lychee nuts served over ice.

Good Taste - Terrible Food Poisoning
by Samsee4 at Citysearch
The food tasted good, I had the chicken panang and left a nice 30% tip because of the service. The next I was holding my stomach in pain. I got the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life. Based on the great reviews I wouldn't have thought that food poisoning would be an issue, but boy was I wrong. I am reporting this to the health department, and I'll be sure to let them know when I'm in the area.
- Pros: Food tastes great
- Cons: Worst Food Poisoning of my life

Don't Believe the Naysayers, This is The Best Thai Food in Austin!
by spiritofjerry at Citysearch
For all those pampered, four-star frat/sorority naysers out there, get over your prejudice and look at the facts: the food is inexpensive (but you wouldn't care, as spoiled as you are), the food tastes excellent, and the waiters are very helpful and conversational. My girlfriend and I eat here on occasion (we don't eat out often), but when we do, we are NEVER disappointed. I've been going to Thai Tara for over a year now (maybe 8-9 times), and all I can say is that the food is excellent for the price. I've never paid more than $30 for two, and that included drinks and an appetizer. There is a patio out back for those who want to smoke, and the interior is subtly elegant. Parking is located around the back of the store, and there is usually a place free. It is true that you might have to wait for the chefs to cook your food during a dinner rush, but be assured it will be prepared to perfection. Come ready with a friend/partner and some conversation while you wait, and the food will surely be worth your wait. If you are looking for quick eats, go to McDonalds.
- Pros: Great food, converational/friendly waiters, casual atmosphere, free parking in rear, inexpensive, way less snooty than other downtown haunts
- Cons: Longer wait during dinner rush (well worth it)
