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.

This is the best place for sushi in Williamsburg, VA. It is family owned and so the service is…read morealways exceptional because the family cares about their resturant.

The consistency is what makes the sushi so good! However, because this place is a smaller restaurant, you will also have to wait a little longer than you may be used to. But the sushi is well worth the wait. Everything comes out fresh, the flavors between the various rolls are independent of one another and the portions are impressive! There's something on the menu for everyone. Sushiya is also a low key atmosphere. You can go out for girls night, or wear your sweats; everyone is welcome. Definitely a great option for sushi in the burg.

Liked that they offered low-sodium and regular soy sauce. My friend seemed to like her tempura shrimp over sushi rice. The bad: Did not like the vegetable yaki soba! Not good at all, weird texture and not like any I had ever tried before. The Japanese egg drop soup was not flavorful at all! Don't know if I would go back.

Sushi and boba in the same place, yes please!!! Was greeted so cheerfully when I walked in and the lady ( I will get her name next time) who took my order was just so kind, hospitable and helpful when going over the menu...In the end, I opted for the salmon roll and Matcha boba.. Now for the real real!!! Now when it comes to Boba, I generally stick to my regular flavors; Taro, Thai, Jasmine or Oolong so I didn't have any expectations for the Matcha.. but let me tell you, that was the best Matcha Boba tea I've ever had!!! size wise, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness.. already off to a great start. Now, when the salmon roll came, I was surprised at how big those pieces were. It was the most amazing salmon roll.. after the first bite. I was thinking about how I wish I would've gotten another sushi, but it was just the perfect amount for my appetite and it made for such a great light meal. This place is a 10 out of 10 for me!!! Note* I forgot to take a picture of the Matcha Boba, but just know it was so well made!

Food: The tropical roll was great! I loved the flavor combination and the coconut sauce! Yum! The chicken wrap was the food item I didn't enjoy and the main reason was that they used mined chicken. I feel like at least cubes of chicken or strips would be preferred. Also the chicken has no flavor. Grill it up or something! The other ingredients were nice and fresh but the chicken was very off putting. Ordering online was easy and I loved how they had the option of them delivering it to your car. It was ready when promised and everything came as promised.

I would give 0 if I could…read more I am in a funk in terms of what I felt like eating earlier today. I happened to be in New Town area, killing time and saw this restaurant. I went in and looked at the menu. This is what I called a confused restaurant. Menu covered Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean food. I should have known better to never eat at a confused restaurant. Still, too tired to search other restaurants, I went ahead and ordered Gal Bi, out of gazillion different dishes. My thought was how hard is it to screw up Gal Bi. It's such a very simple, easy to make K dish. Nope, I was wrong! No flavor, it's super oily, and because they are not specialized K restaurants, they didnt have bibimbap sauce to alleviate its bland flavors. I only had 2 little ribs and asked to box up the rest. I lost my appetite completely. Yup! That's the size for a $20 dish! Stupid me! I should have walked away once I read the menu.

The staff was super nice the moment we walk in the door. Our Server (Emily) was supper knowledgeable and made suggestion's that where on point. Plating was nice to look at and tasted wonderful. Rib appetizer was fell off the bone tender, better than some BBQ joints. My wife had the Nutty Chicken, Mash Potatoes and Beets with citrus. I had the Peppercorn Encrusted Tuna , Mushroom rice with zucchini. Portion size was appropriate and the flavor profile of our food could not be beat. The restaurant has quotes post on the walls from historical figures that I fell in love with, after mentioning this to our server, she gave me a printed list of all the quotes. Thanks for a great dinning experience!!
