Tara Thai - Rockville

Best tasting Thai food in Bethesda/Rockville. Quick service. The decor is amazing. The move from downtown Bethesda was apparently a good one.

The restaurant was empty and very quiet; but they had a ton of takeout orders being picked up. Our server was pleasant and showed the correct amount of attention. The food was hot, fresh and delicious!

Tara Thai was always one of the best Thai restaurants in the DC area. Not sure why their ratings have declined. I know they had a slow recovery from the pandemic, hopefully they are on the upswing. The last few dinners we have had here were excellent. During the most recent visit, we had the spring rolls and chicken dumplings for appetizers. The spring rolls were solid, though the dumplings were a little on the bland side. For dinner, we had the Pattaya noodles and the Spicy Eggplant. Both dishes were excellent. The Eggplant was nicely spiced and the large Eggplant chunks were perfectly cooked. The Pattaya Noodles were also spicy, but the spice didn't overpower the shrimp, squid, and crabmeat in the dish. The service was great and the place looked as nice as ever.

The restaurant is beautiful but the food is like cheap fast food. Small portions also.

Great spring rolls, brown rice, mango&sticky rice and seasonal fish!!! Great service! I love the Tom Kha Gai soup!
