Ta Ra Rin was a very pleasant surprise, especially when it came to portion size, value, food quality and personal service. We ordered three items: Tom Kha soup with chicken, pineapple curry with chicken, and Pad Thai with pork. First thing to know--the portions are HUGE. The three dishes could easily have fed four people. The curry was probably 1 1/2 times the size we're normally used to at Thai restaurants, and the Pad Thai looked almost double the size for only about $4 more than what we normally pay elsewhere. Extremely good value. And the portion-size test? See the leftovers photo. After the two of us ate dinner, there was still enough food left for breakfast or lunch the next day. The pineapple curry was probably the standout for me, although it was a toss-up between that and the Pad Thai. My wife ranked the curry first, followed by the Pad Thai and then the soup. The pineapple curry came out in a surprisingly large bowl with plenty of chicken, vegetables and big pieces of pineapple--not a bowl of sauce with a few ingredients floating around in it. Great presentation. The sauce was creamy, slightly sweet and still allowed the curry spices to come through. We ordered it mild and there was still a little bite. The vegetables were cooked just right--not mushy and not raw. The pineapple was sweet and tasted remarkably fresh. According to our server, the pineapple actually comes from a large can. I wouldn't have guessed it. You'd swear you were eating freshly cut pineapple. The Pad Thai was another winner. Again, HUGE serving and very flavorful. Unlike some Thai restaurants that put the peanuts and bean sprouts separately on the side, here they're incorporated right into the Pad Thai, with crushed peanuts and green onion across the top. We ordered the Pad Thai mild. I normally eat Thai food hot or extra hot, so mild obviously wasn't going to give me the heat I normally like. I added about three teaspoons of their Thai hot chili paste. That enhanced the flavor even more and gave me the nice burn I was looking for. That's personal preference, not a criticism of the dish. Their heat choices are mild, medium, hot and extra hot. The Tom Kha chicken soup was also a VERY large serving. There was plenty of tender chicken and vegetables, and ordering it mild certainly didn't hide the other flavors. For our personal taste, however, it wasn't as creamy or as sweet as the Tom Kha we normally prefer. Again, that's OUR preference, and someone else may prefer it exactly this way. I added about three teaspoons of sweet chili sauce to bring up the heat for me. Service deserves its own mention. Our waitress was friendly and attentive without hovering. She noticed that I was drinking a lot of water and, instead of making repeated trips to refill my glass, brought a carafe of water to the table. A small thing, maybe, but that's the kind of personal service I notice. The restaurant itself was another pleasant surprise. It's considerably larger inside than you might initially expect, with the dining room divided into smaller seating areas by wooden partitions. Lots of warm wood, exposed beams and hanging lights give it a comfortable, established atmosphere rather than the feel of one large open dining room. Even with other conversations going on around us, the sound was more of a muted background noise. We could easily carry on a conversation at our own table without competing with the room. The front waiting area, with carved wooden furniture, plants and decorative woodwork, also gives the restaurant some personality. See the photos. Bottom line: generous portions, excellent value, attentive service and very good food. For us, the pineapple curry and Pad Thai were the stars. The Tom Kha wasn't quite the creamy style we personally prefer, but it was still flavorful and loaded with tender chicken. Would we order the pineapple curry again? Absolutely. And seriously...that pineapple came from a can? You could have fooled me. read more

fantastic! white angel on fire was delicious! Green curry is amazing! Service helpful and very gracious.

This place is so wonderfully consistent and delicious. Food is always as it should be, not too little, not too much. You always have your choice of proteins so pick to your hearts content. The staff is always pleasant always attentive without being to overly assertive or just non existent. As usual this place is clean and ready to serve their dinners. You will find quite a few places to get Thai food, but few that are any better. read more

I absolutely love this place. I was having an awful day but nothing that amazing food wouldn't change. Service is great. They greet and seat you promptly. Service is always professional, attentive, and I never feel rushed. The ambience is very moody and sexy with Thai furniture seating in the entrance. read more

Great food as always, wife had Gang Puck, a spicy curry rice and today I had Chicken Chow Min, which might be my new favorite. Service is fast and prompt and the ambience is standard, music and a cozy feel. read more

Ta Ra Rin Thai Cuisine - Chicken Chow Min - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

Been to so many Thai restaurants like this and I generally like them a lot but none have been quite as consistent as Ta Ra Rin in Springfield(can't personally speak for their other locations). I've tried quite a few things on their menu including vegan dishes and never once been disappointed. Most recent visit I ordered an entree from their Specials called the Pad Mango. It's sort of a classic Thai stir fry dish with basil and Thai chilis but this one has the addition of mango and cashews and somehow really amplifies the whole thing. I've usually ordered it with chicken but went with the tofu this time and it was just as good. Parents both ordered the Chow Min with chicken as they normally do and weren't disappointed either. We also had the sampler platter(fried tofu, veggie spring rolls, pork wontons and chicken satay). My partner ordered a tom yum noodle soup and also really enjoyed her meal. Overall fantastic place, always enjoyable and very good. read more

Was nearby and on a whim decided to get some fresh rolls and Tom Kha soup to go. Simple food but they hit the spot. The rolls were fresh and perfectly paired with the peanut and chili sauces. The only nit i have was the use of tofu vs shrimp as I typically get them elsewhere. But that said, they were still good. The atom Kha soup was very good. Proper seasoning and a good amount of chicken. I would've liked to try other dishes but was only in the area briefly. They ARE a bit pricey though. One soup and two orders of rolls were thirty three dollars. read more

The service was friendly, fast, and accommodating. When one of my group's food was spicier then it usually would be (she usually gets the medium spice, but it seemed to be spicer to her this go around) they remade her dish for her which was very kind, and was done very quickly. The food was also just so very delicious, had me going "Mm!" And kicking my feet the whole time! The portions are good. I liked that they had the ingredients in every dish on the menu. I am also allergic to nuts and sesame and they were very accommodating to that and very kind about it and did not make it feel like a burden. The place was very clean, as well as nicely decorated. I do wish they played Thai music instead of western, but oh well. It was good music. read more

Highly recommend the Chef's special Three Flavored Catfish, a sweet and savory dish. Service was so-so, in that they were a little slow to refill drinks, but our server was friendly. The Springfield location is a little less nice than their other locations. More of a casual vibe to it. read more

Old Family City. New Restaurant. Yummy TREATS! SITREP Came into Eugene the night before ahead of a small family reunion the next day in Springfield, OR. We had just checked into our hotel around 7pm and were looking for some food to quickly grab but didn't want to do fast food. After a quick search on Yelp, Ta Ra Rin Thai Cuisine restaurant popped to the top of my search for excellent food stops nearby. THE SETUP I love getting the standards of any cuisine since that is what I will compare the restaurant to with other restaurants in the same category cuisine. For Thai, that boils down to Tom Kha Gai (Spicy Coconut Milk Soup), Drunken Noodles, Crispy Egg Rolls, Fresh Rolls, also probably a Sate Chicken appetizer or any other dish that comes with Peanut Sauce. Ta Ra Rin Thai was firing on all pistons with our selections AND they where extremely reasonably priced for each of the items we got (matching easily many of the deals I can access back here in Sacramento). THE LOWDOWN An excellent Thai stop in the Eugene-Springfield area and I look forward to my next time here. read more

Not as good as the Oak Street Eugene location. Service was not as attention, food was not as tasty, and it was too dim lit inside.. It may be good for an intimate date. I will stick with Eugene! read more

Soy Allergies? Don't bother. All foods on menu have soy. Nice ambiance, great waitress.

Nothing like driving 20 miles into town to pickup dinner and I get home to find out my dish has no peanut sauce... I ordered the swimming lady, I'm not sure how the chef forgot the most important ingredient in the dish. We frequent here at least twice a month and lately it's been disappointing. Last time they forgot rice, and the spice level has been mediocre. Our other entree (spicy cashew noodle) had absolutely zero spice in it, my 3 year old said it wasn't spicy.. long story short we'll be returning to use our restaurant credit because the quality of food is great, but they've got some other concerns to address and we won't be back anytime soon after this. I hope they can figure out what's going on and get it fixed because we will be taking our money to Chao Pra Ya or elsewhere next time. Thankfully I know how to make peanut sauce at home to attempt to enjoy my meal. But it's not the same. read more

Called in a to-go order while driving home from camping. The staff was great and the food was ready quickly. I order Chow Min and Pad Wood Sen; I love how many different vegetables there are in their Thai food, not just noodles and meat!! The ambience seemed fine, but I didn't stay to eat as I needed to get home. read more

I was very disappointed with my last visit. I ordered curry with the combo seafood. There was almost no seafood in the dish. One shrimp, one pieceof calamari, one very small scallop. That was it! Not good. read more

Although I've already posted my review, about how there was NO crab in the "crab and fried rice" dish, the uncomfortable seating, slow service, etc., I want to also add that for the thirty some bucks I shelled out for lunch, all I got was a bowl of fried rice and a glass of tea. Ho hum...won't be back. read more

After a long day of shopping, I decided to treat myself to Ta Ra Rin for the first time. They were closing in 30 minutes so I decided to get takeout. From the friendly voice on the other end of the phone to the kind servers that brought my food, my experience here was a 10! Their Pra Ram was so delicious I will drive the hour that it took me to get here again and again. Thanks for being amazing! read more

Restaurant itself is nice and cosy, we were greeted and seated promptly after entering. The menu is pretty straight forward and food took a while to come out but everything was hot and fresh. Beef Chow Min meat was a bit over cooked but it was still really good. Pineapple fried rice is a must have. We got two orders of the chicken satay, the first was great and the second was a bit dry. Overall I would recommend and definitely found our new go to for Thai. read more

Super friendly service in a nice relaxed ambiance for a delicious meal... great experience. The parking area was packed with cars but the place itself had multiple tables available and was not overly crowded. Lots of take out orders but also enough people seated to make it feel a relaxed place to have a nice dinner with a friend. We opted for your special : Pumpkin curry with red curry and rice. Delicious and nice chunks of whole pumpkins. We shared a stir fried vegetable dish with peanut sauce. Not bad but a bit clingy on the sauce. Green tea for me and Thai Iced tea for my friend made it $50 including a tip. Not bad, and left overs for the next day! read more

Service was excellent! Food was amazing! Portions are huge! The booths are spacious. The vibe was great. I loved the experience here. The prices were reasonable, a meal like this in California would have been double the price! I would come here again if I were to travel there again!! read more

Great service and plenty of seating. Food was pretty straightforward Thai, good and significant portions. I tried the lemongrass wings and the pad kee mao. The wings were cooked ahead so didn't quite have the texture and bite that fresh wings have but we're served nicely on a bed of cabbage. The pad was solid, although I'd consider extra veggies or a side if possible. Plenty for take home given the generous amount. read more

Love this place! Been going here since 2009ish. The food is delicious, and the Service is top notch. Larger portions, I always take the leftovers home, so basically two meals for the price of one. I like the ambiance, it's on the darker side so that makes it cozy feeling. Highly recommend if you like Thai food. read more

This has been our go-to for Thai and while we still love the flavors they bring- last few experiences have been very frustrating. Prior to this we couldn't eat the order we had, ended up with a refund. Luckily we saved the food in case they didn't believe us. Wasn't an issue but she did ask of we still had it. This time around we ordered and one of our dishes, Pad Kee Mao- very little basil, bland in flavor, zero heat. My favorite dish too. I did order hot and the other dishes were hot- just not mine. I dont know what to do. Perhaps we need to order in, then when we can verify its what we ordered - pack it up and go home? Ugh. I dont like to leave complaints, these times are so difficult as it is. Would seem a little more care would go in to customers orders instead of frequent mistakes. Hard enough to order out anymore - so when we do and trusting how the food is handled- very frustrating when its a miss. What else is missing? read more

Ta Ra Rin Thai Cuisine - Pad Kee Mao- blonde version? Zero heat. - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

I must premise this post by saying I previously loved this food. But the food grade has slipped, unfortunately the wrong direction. Plates lack flavor and brightness. My noodles were great if you like uncooked bell pepper in huge chunks mixed in and where was the basil -- oh it's in tiny pieces you can't taste. I think the waiter checked in only one time during our meal. Not great but she was available if we needed to call her over. Im disappointed and not returning. read more

Our go to thai place. The food is fantastic with a large menu and the staff is great. Wine and beer as well

Service has gone downhill fast. Last two visits both in the last couple of weeks have been terrible. Very slow. We got the catfish came cold. What's worse than cold fish. Last visit took a hour to get food after ordering. And pretty much all vegetables no meat. They are getting cheap with help and protein. read more

This is probably one of the few remaining restaurants that don't take digital orders. So beware that they may not get your order correct, cause that's exactly what happened to me. Even though the lady re-read the order on the phone, at the time of pickup it looked wrong on the screen. They would quickly correct their mistake. "It will only take 15 minutes." It took 40 more minutes. 40. And then when they finally provide you with your not-so warm food, they not so much comp you. Most places would throw in a free appetizer. I understand that things were busy. But that is not how your treat customers and recover from your mistake. Then to find out at home that they forgot to put extra rice for the two orders they forgot to include the first time. The curries come with rice. How hard is this? HORRIBLE. What gives? read more

Fairly average Western style Thai food. Nothing special. Portions are good. Clean and large space.
