Tara Thai Montgomery Mall - Bethesda

Friendly enough. But the food fails enormously. If I had time, I would all return. Spring rolls over boiled external (burns) and internal (mushy); Pad Thai noodles muddy and unlusty taste. Two bites- decided that it was not worth the calories.

Pad Thai wasn't great. It was good, and it hit the spot, but the noodles were incredibly soggy and it felt like they were overcompensating in random ingredients. The beef was overcooked and hard, and the cocktails we ordered were not made very hard as there is a difference between a strong drink and a glass with nothing but tequila with a small line of the other ingredients. Service got 4 stars because the waitress gave us an attitude to sit outside, which was strange. When another table sat outside, they asked to sit in the second pavilion, and she said no to them, because I am the only waitress here on the one hand, which is understandable in most situations. On the other hand, there was no more than 20ft from the door that was right next to the kitchen, and there were a total of 3 tables at the time, including us. The waitress wouldn't have run over the parking lot to come to them? So not sure why she made such a big deal out of it.

This time around the Tom Yan soup is better. I like the mango sticky rice

Haven?t ordered in a long time, took food tonight and very disappointed that Curry Entree came with a toddler portion of rice. Added rice to curry and now I have curry soup!

Review continued......bugs floating in drinks. Waiter very annoyed with us because we did not want to pay after she told us ?bugs in the food is perfectly normal? SHe huffed and puffed in a very annoyed way. In addition, the drinks came out half filled, that picture is of an untouched drink. Pathetic. I?ve never seen anything like it.
