Thai Tara

Good Taste - Terrible Food Poisoning. 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.‎…

A taste of the real deal. I spent a month in Thailand with so many of my who were there for a few years. Even they can't believe how authentic this Thai food is! You won't be disappointed! And the have Chang Beer!!!! Memories!!…

Don't Believe the Naysayers, This is The Best Thai Food in Austin!. 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.…

Pad Kee Mao is awesome. So I have been going here for the last few years and very rarely had any problems with the service. I do not go as often as I used to b/c I moved and am not as close. Parking can be a pain in the rear, there are a few spots behind the restaurant and parking meters up and down the streets....there are some pay lots but I avoid those even it there is a bit of a walk. I have tried most of their menu items over the years and they were all very good. I especially liked the larb and of course the Pad Kee Mao...(shrimp and pork are my favorites). I like the tamarind sauce that comes with the spring rolls too. The staff is always friendly and they seem to know us from our previous visits. I think we may have waited an unusually long time for our food once or twice but I think there was a shortage of staff on those occasions. Anyway, I think their Pad Kee Mao is the best in Austin and I would go there even if I had terrible service, or I would just get it to go. I like this place and I will continue to go there. They are having their 5th anniversary on Sat and I will be there.…
