" I had heard great things about Tara Thai, and my experience lived up to the hype! We were seated on the patio, which was charming and relaxing. The menu has so many delicious options; I ordered the Seafood Mix with Vegetables along with a Thai iced tea. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and bursting with flavor. The only downside was the slight wait for our food, but it was worth it once we took that first bite. Super enjoyable evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Tara Thai Northwest and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, which was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spice. The portion size was generous, leaving me satisfied but not stuffed. The server was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to visit Tara Thai given its reputation, but I found the food to be average at best. The pad thai was alright, but I've had better. The service was nice, but I felt the dishes could have been more authentic. The outdoor seating is quite pleasant, and I appreciate the atmosphere, but I don't think I'd return for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best Thai I've had, but certainly not the worst either. My tom kha soup was decent, but lacked that bold flavor I was expecting for a traditional dish. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was polite. I think I might give it another shot in the future, as I've heard the drunken noodles are a must-try. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful meal experience. The ambiance feels like a little slice of Thailand. We ordered several dishes as a family and everything was well received. The tom kha soup was delightful and their fried rice had the perfect blend of seasonings. Felt they could improve a bit on service speed - it was a little slow during peak hours. Overall great experience though, and we will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little spot with great food! They have a variety of drinks and their coconut soup is one of the best I've had. The staff is extremely polite and attentive. I would recommend eating outside if the weather permits; it adds to the experience. I will definitely come back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" We found Tara Thai to be a hidden gem! The staff greeted us warmly and the seating on the patio was lovely. The green curry was delightful and so flavorful, and the portions were generous enough for sharing. We would love to return, especially to try more of their traditional offerings. " (*Curated Review*)
