To everyone there own, sorry but let me start off by saying that I gave more hope to this place than it deserves. This place has poor decor, horrible food and over priced. Service was so so.. it wasn't horrible but it wasn't stellar either. Ive been to both the Tara Thai on the 355 Rockville Pike and the one in RIO which is the one I'm doing the review for. Nothing catches my eye, food is bland and it is not worth it. Not saying its not for everyone. Just not for me.

Tom Yum soup is one of my favorite things to get at a Thai restaurant. However this dish didn't hit the spot too much.. Small bowl, over priced and stuff that came in it wasn't good.. Pork instead of Shrimp... You had to mix this from the bottom to actually get the sour lemony taste.

This is #45 - $12.95 Pattaya Noodles.
Really it wasn't that good and it was more of a soup than sauce.. Also the other DISGUSTING part was the "diced" tomatoes in which they use the entire tomatoes including the rotting stem... this is one of the many reasons why I rated it so poorly. O yea, 2 chili peppers next to it on the menu doesn't mean its spicy.

#44 Seafood Fried Rice $12.95
Wasn't a festival of Seafood... its hard to mess up fried rice.. but it really wasn't that great either..

No idea what this was again.. but I know it wasn't that good.

Yep.. same with this one.. it doesn't taste better then it looks..

#38 - Gaegn Ped Yang $11.95
Red curry.. this was spicy.. would be nice if it was thicker. very SPICY!

I believe they have taken this off the menu as it was a green curry. It was super spicy.

All in all this place had nothing special.. the price was not fairly matched with anything, and the food was poor.. One of the biggest disgusting factors about this place was sitting inside the restaurant and having to fan every min to get the swarm of flies from falling into your food. Although I understand that some people may like flies and get extra protein and flavors from them, it is a horrible thing to go out to eat but spend more time swatting flies and fanning them away than putting food into your mouth. Disgusting and would not recommend or ever go back.
