Thai Tara had been our favorite place to dine in Williamsburg... ...until last night. There is one simple reason that it has fallen off our list: Outrageous prices that are constantly rising. We have visited this restaurant biweekly for the past year since we moved here and at least twice on every visit to Williamsburg since the restaurant opened. What we have noticed is that the prices are going up at a far higher rate than general inflation. We started to dine at Thai Tara when it first opened a few years ago when it cost us $40-50 per person. Slowly at first, it became an expensive treat. But last night we were handed a bill for $70 per person; for 3 of us, the bill came to was $215. Nothing extravagant. Three $6 beers, three appetizers and a few pieces of Sushi and Sashimi. And for the first time in memory, the sushi rice was not properly seasoned and sticky, which makes for a poorly prepared product. But this review is not about a single disappointing food experience which is certainly the exception. This is about the outrageous prices. It is our opinion that pure greed is on display here. They fill the restaurant several times over almost every evening. They won a Best Restaurant honor recently. So our guess is that the owners have figured that they can grab for more profit and if they lose a few patrons, no big deal. They just need to keep in mind that many of their close-by loyal neighbors who are on a retirement budget and frequented this establishment, and are coming to the same conclusion. Thai Tara is overtly overpriced. So sad to say "so long ", Thai Tara. You have priced yourselves out of our budget.

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!

The ambiance is ehhh, but not bad. Just needs some better lighting and a nice clean. The red curry was pretty good. The spice was there and the flavor was decent. I never had Thai before so I don't have much to compare it to. I feel like it could've used a little bit more flavor. I had to add some salt and pepper to bring out some more from it and the tofu didn't really hold the flavor of the broth. I would try it again for sure, but I would like to try some other things as well. I do want to say. The veggies were cooked great. Hard snap and flavorful.

We got the large beef pho and a pork Bahn Mi. $28…read more First the good. The bun on the Bahn Mi was perfect. It would be awesome if every place had buns as good as this. The rest of the Bahn Mi tasted different from all of the other places (20+ different places in the past 8 years) that I've been to - and not in a good way. The best way I can describe the meat taste - is as if it was a bad Philly Cheese steak. The beef pho was the worst tasting pho we've ever had. Tonight as I write this review I'm hoping none of us gets sick. Maybe this was just a bad night? But, if not, I hope this place strives to make some serious improvements.

They were flavorful but slightly over-seasoned, which paired well with the more subtly flavored khao soi. The portion size is smaller compared to other Thai restaurants in the area with similar pricing. The service was nice and friendly, though not very attentive, as staff primarily remained in the kitchen and were not aware when we were ready to order or had finished our meal. We recommend bringing cash to avoid the credit card surcharge. Overall, we enjoyed our experience but are more inclined to revisit other Thai restaurants nearby.

It has a pretty unique selection of dishes not commonly offered in most Chinese takeout places. I consider their offerings more authentic. The serving sizes are huge and can be eaten family style with friends and family! There is a distinct aftertaste that is similar across the dishes we ordered. I'm assuming it's from the oil or base they use in their dishes. But it's not enough to deter me from trying their other food items! Will definitely be coming back! :)

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.
