Tara Asia is a sister restaurant of Tara Thai. The decor was much more simple than that of Tara Thai. Although the seating was much more comfortable due to the distance between the chair/booth and table.
Before a movie at Regal Rockville Centre 13, my friend and I had dinner at Tara Asia. The staff was friendly and service was good. We ordered Thai Iced Tea, Crab Cheese Roll, Spicy Teriyaki, and Pad Pak.
The Thai Iced Tea had a nice blend of red tea and half and half and was quite refreshing. Sometimes it's good to try things different than the usual.
The Crab Cheese Rolls consisted of three crispy rice paper filled with cream cheese, garlic, onion, and imitation crab meat, sliced in half, and served with a sweet and sour sauce with a dash of chili oil. We liked how it was a heavy appetizer in the sense it had the right amount of cream cheese!
The Spicy Teriyaki consisted of shrimp and chicken marinated with an exotic teriyaki sauce and sauteed with vegetables. It was served with Thai jasmine rice. My friend was surprised that his Spicy Teriyaki had a strong pepper smell but wasn't spicy at all.
The Vegetarian Pad Pak consisted of mixed seasonal veggies (e.g., cabbage, broccoli, green beans, soybeans, carrots, and mushroom) and tofu sauteed in a light garlic sauce. This dish was also served with Thai jasmine rice. We felt that this dish was too salty for our enjoyment so we only ate half and didn't doggy bag the rest.
