Thai Thara — Restaurant in Richmond

first time eating here, stopped in to order, the guy standing in line with me said you can get rice, soup or salad, and choose your meat in dish if want meat..so i ordered the ginger chicken the lady told me i could get rice only..i wanted to order a spring roll also, she said can only order 4 not just one..so i sidnt order those..just ordered ginger chicken (white rice), go to pay price is higher then said on website & to go menu that the gentlemen handed me said 8.25, but total was almost 11.00 which is closer ro dinner menu pricing..she took that put of my hand & handed me a black menu, not even menu that they give u for dine in..get it home the tray was over half filled with the white rice n barely any food..was pretty disappointed in that, but the taste of the food was great.. so i asked my sister who treats me to lunch for taking her to her appts..if she wanted to try it, she did..this time we got soup (dine in) and i ordered the same dish, she ordered the cashew chicken..had one cashew in it & portions very small for the price..but again taste and cleaniness was spot on.. dont think i'll eat there as often as i'd like to because it is overly priced, but fresh n great tasting food..conflicting review i know, but if it taste great then i cant put a negative review...

I never write reviews but want everyone to know how fantastic this place is. My absolute favorite restaurant. I come here almost weekly since first trying it. The Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) chicken level 3 with cashews added is my go-to. I usually also get the spring rolls. Best spring rolls Ive ever had! So crispy and the sauce is unreal. My sister doesn’t like spring rolls (or Thai food) and even she is obsessed! I have also tried the crab Rangoon’s, sesame chicken, and kung pao chicken- all fantastic. I’ve tried several other Thai restaurants including very expensive spots in Dayton, and they are just absolutely nothing compared to this place. The staff is also so friendly and welcoming. When I bring my daughter in they always give her little cookies/candy/a toy even! And they recently added mango sticky rice- game...

Update: Went again, still amazing food, still excellent service and fair prices. I love this place. When I die bury me with a bowl of red curry please! Went last night and got a curry that isn't on the menu. I was so disappointed when I saw that red curry wasn't on the menu but the waitress told me I could still get it. So I got my curry, it's delicious and a really good sized bowl. It also came with rice. When I was finished I had eaten all my rice and still had a lot of curry so the waitress gave me another box of rice to take home with my leftovers. Love this place will be going back. The only bad thing I can say is that the portion sizes for the appetizer is...
