Comfortable Thai & Laotian eatery in a remodeled Victorian home with a shaded deck.

we sat outside, nice patio. my wife Cashew Chicken which was very good. I ordered pad thai which was ok, a little bland. not bad though. Entrees were around $15 and they had a few beers and cocktails but ni non alcoholic beers, they seem to be stuck in 2023.
Service us excellent and wait staff are superb.
The neighborhood is busy and parking can be tricky, but also the neighborhood is rad and walking around 23rd is awesome so, its worth it.
I would return, probably not get Pad Thai though.

Savory, yummy and oh so refreshing! Nestled on the corner, kept company by a large Oregon Oak Tree, sits a wonderful Thai restaurant, Tara Thai. I enjoyed the perfect pad thai and the delicious homemade Thai Iced Tea, that filled me up and cooled me down on a spectacular Summer day. The service was warm and welcoming. As I dined, I couldn’t stop myself from doing a little dance in my seat as the atmosphere, service and amazing food made me so happy! I hope you get to see for yourself and do a little shoulder shimmy while you’re at it.

Amazing local spot!
We got golden squid, drunken noodles with beef and the mango paradise (the crunchiness of the cashews are little bursts of joy!) Chef, my respects, food is so good!
The service is great, they never leave you waiting for too long. 10/10

Dining on the patio, surrounded by the refreshing negative ions from the giant trees, is always such a pleasant and comfortable experience. My friends, my spouse, and I have come here many times. We enjoyed a relaxing time with the Seafood Mix with Vegetables ($19.50) and Pad Kee Mao ($14.50), paired with Evolution Red Blend Wine ($9) and Thai Iced Tea ($4.50). The food was elegant and delicious. ✨

It’s been a minute for this iconic restaurant. Sit on the patio and admire the tree! Food is fresh and delicious!

A really lovely place – highly recommend. The patio is indeed lovely; I was able to sit in its shade which was wonderfully cool on a hot July day. The menu was fresh and everything came promptly and was delicious. I was also lucky enough to get one of their whole fresh coconuts! I drank my juice with my meal to cool down, and then ate the meat as a dessert.
The place overall was clean, there is a small parking lot behind, and the staff was delightful and friendly. Really a 5 star experience.

Really excellent. The sea bass was cooked to perfection with Thai herbs and a nice reduction. Egg rolls were very good, crispy, hot, and flavorful. Service was superb, friendly and efficient. If weather permits, the patio is a delightful place to sit.

We came to Tara Thai for some lunch. I got the Pad See Ew, and my partner got the Pad Thai. Both were so so so good, but I kept stealing bites of my partners Pad Thai. The dishes came out piping hot, it made me feel right at home like I was eating my mother‘s cooking. Everything tasted so fresh and perfectly cooked. The portions are very generous. The workers are very sweet and kind. We devoured the food for lunch and went on about our day. We went for a hike and I couldn’t get the Pad Thai out of my mind so we got it for dinner as well as the mango stirfry. I recommend the Pad Thai, it was seriously the best I’ve EVER had!

Meal here was delicious! Went as a group of 3 and each of us loved our food choices: Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, and Drunken Noodle. Really fair pricing, quick and friendly service, and pretty fair pricing. I’d happily get Thai here again! There’s also a nice covered patio for warmer days or with a jacket. Pro tip: there’s a small parking lot in the back of the building with a few spots reserved for Tara Thai.

I had given this place five stars, before returning and getting charged $2.50 for extra rice after they carelessly gave me only a partial portion with my order. This is kind of inattention and inconsistency which makes people not return.
My previous review said: Delicious food, with great vegan options, a cut above most Thai places I’ve eaten. I ordered a spicy eggplant with basil and tofu, and it was delish. Only criticism is that it was rather chilly inside.
