Tara Thai - Charlottesville

Great place! Although their salad shells are not as good as PF Chang's, their Panang Curry is my favorite dish everywhere. Just thinking about it is my mouthwater. My wife likes Pad Broccoli. Too bad. I'll usually finish their dishes, but not these.

Great value Thai food with a good variety of options. I want to specifically highlight the eggplant absolutely order this. Beautifully caramelized sweet soy sauce, it was cooked to perfection, and came in a great portion size. I will honestly go back for that dish alone!

Tried three items from their menu: 1. Tom Yum Soup: It was kind of okay. I expected it to be better. 2. Tod Mun: It was so yummy. It comes with a relish which is sweet and has a punch of lime. Loved it. 3. Frozen Ice-cream: It was too good. Superb! Behavior: 10/10

I had green curry, and I turned out not to be a big fan of it, but that's just cause I don't like coconut that much. It had good spice, and not an overpowering sweetness. The chicken caught me off guard because it's not tender, BUT if Tai curry is your thing, they give big portions here, and everyone else if my group liked it. The place is clean, it's not very modern, but the staff is friendly and it's in a good location of town. Also, the flat rice noodles were pretty tasty. If you're a fan of Tai, you'll like it.

Decent Thai, higher prices than I would like to pay for the quality received but still worth a visit to quell the desire for Thai. Staff is courteous, portions are nice. I went with a group about three times and each time one of the guys with the group requested no shrimp or onions because he is allergic. The first two times his dish came out with shrimp and onions but no peanuts, good thing he checked but the third visit Tara got it correct. I don't know if the server was the disconnect or the kitchen didn't pay attention. The atmosphere and decor are pretty cool, inside was clean, thanks Tara Thai.
