    Love coming in and being greeted by the owner. She's always so nice and pleasant. She's quick with service and if there's a slight delay she communicates it! Food is pretty good. Been here a few times and if there's something not on the menu but my Thai taste buds are needing the fix, I ask if she can make it and she sure can! (Sucker for a good Yum Woon Sun.) Place is always clean and feels so light and warm.

    Closed.... Site says 9:30 but would not let me in shortly after 9:00 so food may be ok but service sux.

    My first stop in while visiting the area. We made reservations due to the tourists coming into the area, we arrived and waited a good five minutes for anyone to come out from the kitchen. A young boy who was playing in one of the booths we finally asked if he could go get someone. And we sat The food was VERY good, delightfully tasteful and heated through perfectly. My only complaint would be that with 3 waitresses and not many people dining at the time we were, and we had practically no service at the table. Waited for drink refills, waited for extra sauces, waited for the bill, waited for change. And we needed to be to a meeting which then put us behind schedule

    Great food if neither you nor anyone in your party has dietary restrictions/food allergies. My husband enjoyed his meal, but I have to give one star because of my own experience: an allergic reaction despite making sure my order didn't contain any peanuts. I thought at first they might use MSG (which often gives a slight tingle that I can eat through if the food is good, which it was). Then, my throat started closing up. Luckily, after I stopped eating and drank water, my throat opened back up. It was too late to prevent what followed: inability to breathe through my nose for the rest of the night even with allergy pills. It's a shame that what would have been a nice date night had to end this way all because a waitress couldn't check to make sure a customer's allergy was left out of the order.

    Thai Tara is our hands-down favorite restaurant. Not only in Williamsburg, where we recently moved,…read morebut nationwide. And that isn't mere hyperbole. Before we moved to Williamsburg, we visited the area for vacations, and Thai Tara is alway the first place we go for dinner and the final meal before leaving. Whether you crave the freshest Sushi/Sashimi or you prefer authentic Thai street food, you will find it here. We have traveled to Bangkok many times, and from first hand experience can say without exaggerating that the Chicken Sate or Fresh Rolls are as authentic as you might find at the street markets in BKK. The Tom Kha and Tom Yum soups are a treat. The extensive selection of warm Thai dishes like Pad Thai and Penang Curry are outstanding. We often include a hand roll or a selection of Sashimi from the Sushi bar in our orders. Never has the sushi bar prepared anything less than perfect. And if you want a real treat, finish your meal with a Mango Sticky Rice. Although small in size, it's surely is a dessert of the gods. An extensive bar is also on hand at Thai Tara for your favorite hand mixed cocktail, umbrella drink or beer, including Thailand's own Singha, a refreshing lager. Plan to arrive early because this cozy (but not small) place gets very busy, especially on weekends. Parking can be tight. But even in the busiest evenings, service is always prompt, attentive, and with a Thai smile.

    If there's a competition for the best Thai restaurant on the peninsula, they would be in the top 5…read more It has a great atmosphere and decor with traditional Thai vibes. The place is clean, and there's plenty of parking. The beef curry is rich with spicy flavors that are balanced and not overwhelming. The orange chicken features large, juicy pieces with a wonderfully citrusy taste. The pad thai was the highlight of the evening, offering a delicious and complex flavor profile with a clean finish. One suggestion: I should have asked for a higher spice level, at least level 2. The service was very friendly and welcoming. This place is a real gem near the College of William & Mary and will become our go-to Thai spot whenever we visit. It's simply the best!

All the noodle and rice entrees come out a very big size, honestly enough to share an entree between two people because the 4 of us had leftovers. I had the red curry special pad thai which I recommend trying as opposed to the regular pad thai. One-two of our dishes was actually messed up on protein- chicken instead of beef and the combination fried rice had only 1 shrimp. They give a lot of meat (chicken) for less premium meat options but for seafood options like shrimp you don't get that many. Other than that I would recommend this spot for thai cuisine.

    Peter Chang (Williamsburg)…read more GOOD: mixed meat Mei fun was excellent. Service was good and friendly. Prices are reasonable (but*) BAD: The pork fried dumplings needed a longer fry. They only appeared to touch the frying pan for barely a minute. They had a steamed, flimsy texture, and I was going for that nice crust, which separates a pan-fried dumpling from a steamed dumpling. My server was very good but the kitchen was very slow tonight, it took almost another twenty-five minutes to get the entree out after the appetizer, and the restaurant was only moderately busy at best. The table next to me also had to wait for every course. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. Even the dumplings that were under fried had good flavor. *Please be aware, which came as a shock to me, that the restaurants on that particular street are subject to a 12%to 13% percent sales tax, which was really off putting. I would still go back to Peter Chang's but probably another location because of the tax and the slow kitchen.

This isn't your run of the mill prepackaged Chinese restaurant, they make authentic Chinese and dishes that break your perception of what American Chinese restaurants can be. I had the crispy pork skin, fish and cilantro soup, and the Szechuan hot pot. All of it was amazing. The restaurant it self isn't anything fancy but the food makes up for it. Do yourself a favor and give it a try
