    House Curry with Tofu
    Kirsten R.

    First time dining here and I experienced friendly service and appreciated the live plants in the dining room. I came in during lunch and the server was quite occupied by all the diners so you might need to wait a bit. Their menu does not identify vegan/vegetarian dishes although they do offer tofu and tempeh as protein sources. I ordered the house curry with tofu. I was served a bowl of rice first which was unfortunate as by the time the curry was brought out the rice was not very warm. The curry itself was piping hot but not to the medium spice level that I had hoped. It contained carrots, bell peppers and tofu. Overall I found it kind of bland. I will be back to give them another try. I think for the price point the quality/taste could be improved.

    Thom Ka noodles

    Omg this place is a hidden gem and welcome addition to Santa Clara! Everything we tried was so delicious! The portions are so large and filling! I had the Thom Ka Noodles by recommendation of our server and I loved it! The server was so attentive and personable for being the only server for the whole restaurant. He took the time to explain the dishes and made excellent recommendations. We were a party of 6 and they were able to seat us right away. Ample parking and really nice ambiance and decor. Definitely will be back with the rest of the family! A must try!

    Pumpkin curry and Pad Thai
    S W.

    I've been here 3 times since they've opened. I've ordered the pumpkin curry every time and every time it's been delicious. Food and service is excellent! Since I live in the area and there aren't many good restaurants in this area, I really hope this restaurant is successful.

    The food is delicious, the decor is clean and inviting, and the prices are reasonable. Good place for good gluten-free food.

    I eat here everyday basically. I don't eat at any other Thai place. I might be biased but I don't eat anywhere else unless it's in Thailand

    If you ever find yourself in Eugene with a rumbling stomach, do yourself a favor and stop by Ta Ra…read moreRin. I went in expecting a quick bite and left wondering if I should cancel my flight and commit to a long-term relationship with their menu. The service was the kind that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit: attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it. You know, the sweet spot most places miss by a mile. The ambiance strikes that rare balance: polished enough to feel like you made a good decision, but relaxed enough that no one's judging you for aggressively enjoying your curry. Now, the portions. Let's just say I arrived hungry and quickly realized I had made a tactical error by also having a flight to catch. The plates are generous. Borderline ambitious. Under different circumstances I would've happily taken half of it home. And the price? Genuinely refreshing. You get high-quality food, generous portions, and excellent service without that subtle sting of regret when the bill arrives. It feels almost suspiciously reasonable. I walked in trying to kill time before a flight and walked out wondering if I should start scheduling layovers in Eugene on purpose.

    I had high expectations at this restaurant because the reviews on Yelp and local people raved how…read moreamazing this place is. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was bustling. We got seated right away at a booth with a window view. My waitress was an older Asian lady. She was very nice, not too talkative, but she was on top of her things. I was craving soup and decided on the highly recommended tom kha with tofu. To start, we had thai tea, thai coffee and the shrimp triangle. For our entrees, we decided on the pad see eu (they spell it pad se eu here), panang curry. The shrimp triangles were very yummy. Definitely get those. The thai tea and coffee was good, but just a little watered. I expected the taste to last in my mouth for a little bit. But it didn't. For the soup, I was excited to taste the soup! It smelled really good and it was boiling hot. My thought after my first sip of Tom Kha was, ok, this is good, they got it, but it just wasn't quite there. I couldn't pinpoint what was missing. Then I figured out that they didn't use full coconut milk. It was just a little bit and it was the lighter version. How disappointing! I wanted the robust tang, spice and coconut like how I have at home. The entrees made me sad. I really, really wanted to love it. The panang curry should be rich, thick and creamy. Instead it was soupy. I was really expecting and wanting the curry to stick to my rice, but instead it made soupy curry rice. My daughter pointed out that the curry and the tom kha soup was the same color and consistency. I didn't want to believe, but I think they used the same base and added the appropriate toppingss and seasonings to make a soup and a curry. My saddest dish was my last one that came out. It was the pad se eu. The wide rice noodles was wet and in broken pieces. I'm Asian and I'm from Vegas via Hawaii which means we have a lot of Asian cuisines, we know our food and have friends who work in high end Thai restaurants. (Think Lotus of Siam) When rice noodles break into smaller pieces, it means the noodles are probably not fresh and got hard. To soften, the cook used extra water and the heat was not high enough to cook, so it stuck to pan, making the cook mix it around more...broken wet noodles that doesn't brown. Overall, I really wanted to love this place. It has potential. Maybe it was an off day but on that day I went, it didn't give me the wow I expected. Most of the items has the taste on point. Please don't water down the curry or use lower fat coconut cream. I'm not used to having regular brocolli in thai food either, but I guess this is what Eugene likes or what we can get. And people, share your food! Thai food is family style! Share it! Put it in the middle of the table and let the other person have some! I was people watching around my table and my table was the only one that didn't have our own entree per person. lol

Anyway we ordered through a delivery app on a Thursday evening. We ordered pad se ew with pork, medium spice level, pad kee mao with chicken, medium spice level, the OMG and pot stickers, and a Thai Iced tea. The iced tea was warm, I'm not sure there was ever ice in it, however, that did mean I got more actual drink that I would normally get. The two apps were in open-topped baskets and stacked on top of each other in the bag. Both were bland. The sweet & sour type sauce that came with the OMG really made it edible. Between the two main dishes we ordered, I honestly could not tell which was which. What I believe was supposed to be my kee mao with chicken, might have been beef but even after trying a few pieces I'm not certain it was beef. The other dish didn't look like any kind of pad se ew or kee mao I'd ever seen and the meat might have been pork or chicken, honestly I don't know. Neither dish was even close to spicy or a flavor we enjoyed. I doused the unconfirmed kee mao with sriracha and ate it, because at that point I was pretty hungry and what am I going to do? Call and return it? Unfortunately, this was our first experience with Sweet Basil and probably will be our last.

    When we first walked in I thought: Hole in the wall? Oh yeah, this'll be a good spot…read more I was sorely mistaken. While not horrible, we definitely won't be back. The young guy at the counter was polite and kind but the food was just kinda meh. The fresh rolls were premade, and the last ones in the cooler... sadly they weren't that fresh. We took a break from Ta Ra Rin to try something else, but after this I know where we'll be going for Thai next time.

I'm very fond of orange chicken but when my friend orders her sweet and sour chicken I envy her peppers onions and pineapple. So today I could not resist the orange chicken because HERE it is served with the onion peppers and pineapple! Their sauce is FANTASTIC. And it comes with a choice of white, brown or sticky rice. I chose brown and it's not like traditional brown rice...it's much more delicious. It is tasty by itself without any sauce or seasoning. We came mid afternoon and I think we're the only people here. Our food still took a bit to arrive and the required time along with the heat suggests everything is prepared fresh. I loved it. The veggies were not over cooked. They were crispy! The pineapple is unfortunately canned but it's good. I like fresh better but canned is still good to me. I'll probably be back twice. Next time I'll have Pad Thai and then I'll have this orange chicken AGAIN because YES it's that good!!! If you find this review useful please VOTE!

    When did this restaurant become UNtasty Thai Kitchen? From the moment we arrived, it felt off and…read moreit honestly could not have been a worse experience. Service was mediocre at best. We were the only ones in the dining room with two waitstaff. After we ordered, we hear someone from the kitchen yell, "oh shit!". We never learned why that was said but i can tell you that the dining experience was not pleasant. We started with an order of Spring Rolls, which were okay but extremely cold in the center - maybe they had been made far in advance and left in a very cold refrigerator for too long? Two sauces were served, but failed to provide spoons to use for those rolls - and we had to ask for serving utensils AND napkins. Then the extremely bland Tom Kha soup, served in a large bowl but then failed to provide individual bowls or spoons to eat it (come on servers, have you never eaten soup and know you need spoons and bowls for soup?!). UNtasty Thai Kitchen's take on phad thai was pretty terrible as well. And their larb (which they spell as laarp) was gritty and really unpleasant. We did not eat much of this meal and simply asked for boxes to take home... Upon leaving, I asked their staff if they recently had a change in the kitchen staff and they said no,.it was the same chef. If so,it certainly did not seem as it was a few months prior. You've lost three customers for this was a pretty awful experience. Happy to discuss this further, if you wish to reach out. UPDATE: Talked with their manager, Griffin, and he was very apologetic about the experience and offered either a credit or refund back to my account. HOWEVER, as of 4/14/26, this has YET to be resolved!

This…read moreis a noodle dish I ordered like a year ago, but I still remember it being good because it had the wide fresh noodles, plenty of flavor, and a lot of basil in there. I notice that their menu is huge, with a ton of specials. Great for those who want variety every time they come. 5 stars for friendliness and fast service. The guy who works there is as nice as can be. 1 star for salad rolls. It says "fresh vegetables" but the roll had one miniscule piece of tofu (1/2 inch wide?) and the rest is pure lettuce. I think there were a couple mint leaves in there. No carrots, cuke, cilantro, or any other kind of vegetable you can imagine, and barely any tofu. Peanut sauce was delicious and worth adding to the order, as the chili sauce it comes with is ok but syrupy sweet. Adding in the peanut sauce for $2, that came to $10 for lettuce. Inflation is hitting us all hard... restaurants included. But tofu and carrots are not that expensive, right? And if they ran out of ingredients, they should just say so. Yelping about petty things is not a nice thing to do. This review reflects my frustration about a broader pattern that goes beyond this one restaurant (which is why I don't include this in the star rating). Eugene restaurants often do not try to keep up basic standards because there's insufficient competition, and they get away with things that wouldn't fly in a big city. I wish more restaurants, including food trucks, took pride in what they put on the plate.

    Consistently great food, quick service, nice people. Tried several things. Highly recommend.read more
