Food was well prepared, tasty, fresh and very satisfying. Service was every bit a compliment to the food quality. Priced competitively but value met my expectations. read more

This is a five star restaurant with a one star on price. We could wax on about the addictive Tom aka soup, the authenticity delicious Bangkok street food style Chicken Satay, the (too) generous Sushi & Sashimi pieces and the sinfully good Mango Sticky Rice. Thai Tara had been our favorite place to dine in Williamsburg... ...until last night. There is one simple reason that it has fallen off our list: Outrageous prices that are constantly rising. We have visited this restaurant biweekly for the past year since we moved here and at least twice on every visit to Williamsburg since the restaurant opened. What we have noticed is that the prices are going up at a far higher rate than general inflation. We started to dine at Thai Tara when it first opened a few years ago when it cost us $40-50 per person. Slowly at first, it became an expensive treat. But last night we were handed a bill for $70 per person; for 3 of us, the bill came to was $215. Nothing extravagant. Three $6 beers, three appetizers and a few pieces of Sushi and Sashimi. And for the first time in memory, the sushi rice was not properly seasoned and sticky, which makes for a poorly prepared product. But this review is not about a single disappointing food experience which is certainly the exception. This is about the outrageous prices. It is our opinion that pure greed is on display here. They fill the restaurant several times over almost every evening. They won a Best Restaurant honor recently. So our guess is that the owners have figured that they can grab for more profit and if they lose a few patrons, no big deal. They just need to keep in mind that many of their close-by loyal neighbors who are on a retirement budget and frequented this establishment, and are coming to the same conclusion. Thai Tara is overtly overpriced. So sad to say "so long ", Thai Tara. You have priced yourselves out of our budget. read more

Last weekend I Spent the Easter with my friend for a girl lunch and this time my friend choose the place and I will say I'm very impressed with the quality and food and service walking in your entering with a different style of that traditional Japanese style and they have both bars and booth seating perfect place to bring a group of friends and dine in. The menu options are endless I was very surprised of how much items they had for appetizers alone they have some many variety to choose from which was very unique. I try their tiger cry steak appetizers well presented and steak was made with perfection where it was perfectly thin sliced and full of flavor and was well balanced not to heavy at all good options to try and since we got there during lunch hours, they had a special where you could get two classic rolls with miso and a salad for $11 or three classic rolls with miso and salad for $16. I did the two and added on a yummy roll was also very well prepared. Had a load of flavors and combination of fish where it wasn't overpowering each other and it wasn't too heavy even though it contains cream cheese and it's fried sushi so for my people that like fried sushi only I would recommend this option and if course they had many other options and I plan on making another trip to try more of there sushi and more food options next time I'm in the area again. Are server was very nice and very attentive to us from the moment we got our drinks where he gave us recommendations of blackberry cocktail perfect combination i would say it's a must try if you like more of a fruit forward cocktail. read more

The fried rice was ok, but everything else I had was delicious! What made it extra was our server who was amazing, funny and friendly! She made us comfortable and welcome from the moment we sat down! They can get crowded so if you have a big group or want to be sure you have a table quickly - make a reservation. The back room is great for groups and has a TV. Worth a try if you are in the area and love Thai food. read more

I'm a newfound sushi lover & was fortunate enough to have had great experiences here! I love the ambiance & how kind & professional the staff is. They also take reservations which helps tremendously! The menu is a bit overwhelming with sooo many delicious options to choose from, but no pictures to see what you'll be having. The restaurant plays great music & the staff is very attentive. This recent visit I had the Tuna Poke, Armored Crab Roll, Bagel Roll, Thai Tara Roll (my personal favorite), & the Trust Me Roll (super cool & worth trying -- the chef makes a surprise roll just for you & will ask for some of your preferences!). For dessert I had the mochi ice cream & tempura cheesecake (BOTH SO GOOD!) I love coming here & appreciate always having a wonderful experience. Will be a returning customer! read more

They have some great food and service here! A friend and I went the other day. They have Thai food, sushi, and hibachi on the menu. Our server Anya was excellent! She checked on us consistently and answered all of our questions. She even realized they brought out the wrong dish and offered to correct it. That's top-tiered customer service!! They have several seating options, including booths and tables. They also have a bar. It's a very inviting atmosphere. I started with a 2 roll combo with spicy tuna roll and spicy salmon roll. Both were great! The wasabi is the real deal, so watch out LOL! I had the green curry with tofu and tried the blackberry rice. The curry was excellent!! The flavors melded perfectly...yum! It tasted like brown rice, but Anya told us it was a healthier rice. My friend had the pad kee mao (drunken noodle) with chicken and extra veggies. She said it was delicious. I ordered the Thai basil fried rice with chicken to go. It was also delicious. It was our first visit, but we both will definitely return! read more

The chicken teriyaki was horrible--the chicken was so overcooked that it was like rubber. The manager did little to remedy the situation. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I love how fresh everything is here!! The place inside is looks very nice and the waiters are always on top of it even at their busiest times. I was amazed about how fresh all the fish tasted. The toro was exceptionally surprising and was so buttery and melted right in your mouth. This is definitely my top sushi place in wburg. read more

Service is fantastic and the sushi really great. Thai was good but not great. Pad Thai too sweet, soup didn't have enough depth... the favor profile wasn't fishy enough.. the green curry was the best. Went in Wednesday at 4pm and is surprisingly busy. read more

Thai Tara Sushi & Bar - James Roll, Pink lady Roll and Flame Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Ambiance is a 5. Nice bar in the center with large monitor streaming football game. Clean booths, modern touches like shiny concrete floors, wave tiles surrounding bar, large Thai god face behind bar. Fairy lights line the windows, tastefully done. There's a sushi counter off to the side where sushi chef created his sushi creations. Service was great, a 5. They sat me down immediately. Served water as I asked. There was a large party that were seated right behind me. I wanted to be moved so they were gracious about it. There are so many different food selections that I've not seen at most other restaurants like their crispy soft shells, minced chicken with fried egg, etc etc. I didn't want to order typical curry dishes so I asked for recommendation. The server recommended the grilled steak with garlic pepper, which I ordered. I asked for medium well with very slight pink but it was well done! The steak came swimming with brown sauce (tasted oyster sauce) and blanched cabbage, carrots and mushrooms. It was good, I'd say a 4! I will definitely come back to try the other dishes, maybe even the typical curry to compare with other restaurants. read more

The food is always good and the service is attentive. Good sushi, but with more of a Thai twist.

Great sushi. Quality and good flavor. The albacore sushi was awesome. The spicy tuna is on point. Unfortunately the poke was flavorless and a micro portion for $15- not worth it. Aside from that the rest of the meal was amazing. The pineapple curry was fantastic. read more

Great service-fast, friendly, and efficient. The tom yum was really good. The Thai Tara roll wasn't our favorite-the meat was too dry for us. The kingsmill roll we liked a lot. The pad Thai was good. The mango sticky rice was yummy. We would def go back. Happy that there's tasty food close to the house! read more

Good experience. We came on Fri night just before 6PM and the only seating left was at the bar. The menu was extensive....both for Sushi and Thai. They had a few local IPA's on draft....which was a plus and not typical for sushi/thai places. My bride went with the Pineapple Yellow Curry ($16) and I went the sushi route with Victoria Secret Roll ($16) and Escolar Nigiri ($6). We were both pleased with our selection. Service at the bar and from the entire staff was friendly and prompt. We would definitely come back! read more

I was in Williamsburg so I decided to take my date to this place. It was very well taken care of, the lighting and atmosphere was perfect definitely felt like I was right at home. They asked if we had a reservation we didn't and was seated right away. The food was really good, I had steak hibachi with fried rice and the steak was nice and tender and my date had chicken with fried rice. They were definitely a business spot with a lot of locals, if you decide to try it go early! I will for sure be back read more

Thai Tara Sushi & Bar - Steak Hibachi with Fried Rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

June 6,2026 2:15pm WARNING‼ ALL SALES ARE FINAL! NO YOU CANNOT GET A REFUND OR EXCHANGE ITEMS ON THE MENU IF YOU ARE READING THIS , THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience left me no choice. I traveled from Orlando to Williamsburg, VA for work and stopped here looking for a solid meal unfortunately, that's not what I got. I ordered the hibachi shrimp and the Thai wings to go. The wings were small and severely lacking in flavor. The hibachi shrimp came as just five pieces tail-on, and what appeared to be baked rather than actually grilled served in a bowl with vegetables that were equally skimpy. I understand protein portions have to be managed for food costs, but the overall value just wasn't there. My bigger issue was with how the situation was handled when I returned. I came back calm and respectful the same way I'd carried myself the entire visit, even tipping before receiving my food. I simply asked if I could swap the meal for something else on the menu. The manager immediately shut it down and refused to explore any alternative or attempt to rectify the situation in any way. She didn't offer to look at the food, didn't propose a substitute, and showed no interest in making it right. The interaction felt dismissive from start to finish. I wasn't expecting the manager here to bend every rule to make a customer feel valued but stonewalling someone with a legitimate concern and hiding behind a blanket policy isn't good hospitality either. That experience alone will keep me from ever returning, and I'd encourage others to think twice before stopping in. MAGA COUNTRY ! LETS GET THESE IMMIGRANTS THE FUCK OUT OF HERE !!!!!! read more

The food was fantastic- the service was very good - overall just a wonderful dining experience! Thank you!

We ordered takeout and it was ready on time. It was hot when we picked it up, although of course it cooled a lot by the time we arrived back at our lodging. So I'm going to venture a guess that all of the hot foods would be better eaten in. The restaurant looks very nice inside, and on this very warm day was cool and dim, just right for a relaxing meal. Lots of free parking in the lot, it's in a little strip mall behind a Shell station. Drunken noodles were very good, as was gyoza and Thai wings. DGD said her miso soup was tasty. DD and I both enjoyed the green papaya slaw, although a bit more seasoning would be nice. The crispy wontons were OK but I wouldn't get them crispy again because the filling was too done. All the sauces were good. Price was average for a takeout of mostly appetizers. We are only visiting Williamsburg, so we likely won't be back. But we liked the food well enough for one time. read more

Easily 5 stars! Every single bite was delicious. We started off with sushi and it was very filling and had so much flavor! My husband got the filet mignon hibachi..... the sauce on the steak was TOP NOTCH. I got the pad see ew with crispy chicken.... Too good. The chicken was perfectly made. The noodles were a little over cooked but the flavor made up for it. For dessert we got the tempura cheesecake and instead of chocolate we had caramel drizzle!! Very very tasty! There's a cute sushi bar that you can see as well. Inside is very cutesy and aesthetically pleasing. They have bathrooms that are very clean and also changing tables for the moms! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for Thai , hibachi, or sushi! read more

We had a very good experience at Thai Tara Sushi Bar. We came on a weekend for a late lunch to celebrate a family member's birthday. The restaurant has a room that can comfortably accommodate one or two large parties (we had 12 people in our party, and there was another party in the room, and we did not feel cramped). The space is decorated with Asian-Inspired decor, and has a bar area in the front. Everyone enjoyed their meal - my partner and I shared an order of pineapple fried rice with chicken, and an order of sushi (crunchy roll). The food came out relatively fast for such a large party, and our server was very attentive. The food was hot and the portions were generous. The restaurant is located conveniently near Busch Gardens. I would definitely return. read more

Solid three-stars... good service and got my food really quick (too quick?). Sat at the bar and it was fine.

Came to visit Thai Tara while I was visiting from out of state. We have great Thai food in Northern California so I wanted to see if the food would live up to the hype. The food was SO GOOD. The curry puffs are to die for and I will be thinking about them in my dreams. The biggest reason I would come back is for the service. My bartender, Emily, took great care of me. She was hilarious, made me a delicious mocktail, and was extremely attentive during my meal. The food is good but I would come back just to have Emily take care of me. She is the real start of the show, and all of the locals I met while sitting at the bar were raving about her. I understand why! This place is a 5 star, but service is 10 stars. read more

This Thai and sushi restaurant has recently opened. Tonight we tried a few appetizers and sushi rolls. The tiger beef and the crab Rangoon were my favorite two appetizers. The shrimp one was good and I did enjoy the dipping sauce that came with the dumplings. The dumplings had a nice flavor as well. The sushi rolls we tried were the Phuket roll and the Amazing Roll! I had never had a roll with a curry dipping sauce and it was so yummy dipped in the curry. The amazing roll was just like it's make, amazing! Good flavor combo! Our server was very sweet and as it got more busy service was a little slow but it was a Friday night so understandable. Nice decor inside but the lights hopefully are on a dimmer because they were super bright! Can't wait to go back and try some of their Thai dishes! read more

This has become our favorite place to eat in Williamsburg. Everything here is amazing. Our favorite dishes so far are the garlic pepper filet mignon, the crispy duck, and the dancing shrimp. Their classics like pad see ew are also yummy. The roti starter is a favorite for me because it's the closest I've been able to find to what I had while living in Malaysia. The dough is flaky and delicious. The service is always fast and friendly. Excited to keep coming back and eventually eating our way through their entire menu. read more

Yoooooo this place is a MUST TRY!!!! They've mastered both the sushi and the Thai gastronomy! The food came out super fast and HOT!!! We ordered two drinks the Jamaican Sorel Old Fashioned and the Lemon Drop Martini. Fireeeee!!! Then for entrees we ordered crispy rice and spicy tuna, the white dragon roll, and the seafood basil lo mein. The food was 100000000/10!!! The crawfish salad on that white roll was insane, the freshness of the fish and that toasted rice was divine. The lo mein was cooked perfectly with the right bounce and chew and the sauce married the seafood and the veggies perfectly! Everything was amazing! The BEST THING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS THE STAFF!!! AK and EMILY were so attentive, sweet, and warm! They made the experience great and were literally coming back tomorrow with our parental units! Seriously, if you're in the area looking for great spot to go in a date, eat well, and get served great food and service, this is definitely the place to visit, *DISCLAIMER: NO I DID NOT GET PAID TO DO THIS REVIEW and YES I AM A REAL PAYING CUSTOMER FROM OUTTA TOWN visiting!* read more

Omg amazing! Great service, delicious food, hot sake, great prices! What market you ask for? It's a must try! It won't disappoint.

Best Thai I have had in Williamsburg so far. Restaurant was clean, service was impeccable and food was delicious. I had drunken noodles and hibachi chicken. The drunken noodles with beef and shrimp were spicy but not over the top, flavor was great and texture of the noodles gave the perfect chew. The hibachi isn't cooked at the table but the did an amazing job with the flavor of the chicken and texture of the rice. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Kingsmill and Gangnam rolls and Larb chicken for lunch today. I ordered Thai level spice and was not disappointed. Just the right amount of heat without compromising flavor. Both rolls were delicious, with the KingsMill being our favorite. read more

Came here on a Tuesday as there's a special to get one roll then next one is half off. I got the Kingsmill roll and the Gangnam one. I truly enjoyed the Kingsmill roll better. Maybe I'm a caviar girl but Kingsmill is my style. Hubby got the chicken Larb salad but it was way too spicy for me as I took one taste and nearly coughed out my lungs. Enjoyable meal and we used our phone number for our loyalty program. Love this place. read more
