Thai Dara

Came here for the lunch special. Wonderful food, wonderful service. I had the yellow curry, perfect amount of kick and very tasty flavor. Will definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Thai Dara, and I have to say that it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the efficiency of the service. The wait was less than 5 minutes, which was impressive considering it was a busy New Year's Day. Once we were seated, the service was lightning fast, with the staff being attentive and catering to our needs.

One thing that really stood out to us was the restaurant's willingness to accommodate my girlfriend's dairy allergy. They were very helpful in checking the ingredients in each dish to ensure that she could safely enjoy her meal. We opted to dine in, and were struck by the beautiful flowers on each table (and even in the bathroom). It was a nice touch that added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant.

The drinks hit our table in less than 2 minutes of ordering them, and our food arrived only 7 minutes later. I ordered the Panang Curry with chicken, which was delicious, and my girlfriend ordered the Pad See Ew, which she said was equally delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, providing good value for the quality of the food with enough left over to take home.

The restaurant itself is located directly on PCH, and while there is outdoor seating available, we chose to sit indoors. The chairs were padded, and the decor was traditional and inviting. The seating was a bit tight, but the large mirror on the side of the room made the space feel larger than it was. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the staff seemed to take pride in their work.

Throughout our meal, the waitress checked in on us multiple times, taking a genuine interest in the guests at all her tables, asking them about their day and lives. She was friendly and efficient, and it was clear that she enjoyed her job. When it came time to pay, the process was smooth and seamless, with no issues or delays.

Overall, our experience at Thai Dara was excellent. The service was fast and efficient, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. If you're in the mood for some delicious Thai food, I would highly recommend giving this Thai restaurant a try. The location is convenient, with ample parking available, and the exterior of the restaurant is beautifully maintained, with a fresh and welcoming appearance.

Inside, the restaurant is clean. The bathrooms are also clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus in my book. Overall, Thai Dara is a fantastic place to enjoy a delicious and surprisingly affordable meal, and I will definitely be returning in the future.

In addition to the great food and service, I also have to mention the convenience of the restaurant's takeout options. Whether you're in the mood to dine in or take your food to go, Thai Dara has you covered. Whether you're craving a delicious curry, some savory pad see ew like us, or any of the other delicious dishes on their menu, Thai Dara is the place to be.

In conclusion, I have to say that Thai Dara is a top-notch Thai restaurant that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious and affordable Thai food. Our bill came to $33 (2 meals + waters) and I left a $10 tip. The service is fast and efficient, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the food is simply amazing. Whether you're in the mood to dine in or take your food to go, Thai Dara has something for everyone, and I can't wait to visit again soon.

The most authentic Thai food I've tasted in a while. I'm grateful they allowed us to order just before they closed and provided great portions for us to enjoy. FIVE STARS!! Excellent flavor & awesome portions to share with the family.

Amazing food and service !!!! The curry was some of the most authentic tasting I have ever had. My boyfriend and I eat thai food regularly, and this tops my list in SoCal! Amazing fresh spring rolls, and the pad Thai was so heavenly. Couldn’t recommend more! The massaman curry was the winner of the night!
