Reviews
Very surprised at the low rating of this place. We came in based on our hotel's recommendation- and were very happy with the food (we got ginger chicken, red curry, pad Thai and basil fried rice) - all excellent food, served with a smile and with a lot of followup to ensure we were comfortable. Thanks for an excellent dinner!
We came to dara thai for lunch ,the place was busy and they were less on staff. It took a while to be seated and to take orders. We ordered fresh rolls ,cheese wontons, pineapple fried rice and panang curry. We really liked the food, except the panang curry which could have been with little more flavour and veggies. The drinks we oredered came really late even a soda. Overall it was a good choice if you dont want to have mexican food all three times of the day.
After seeing the reviews, I thought the food would not be very good. But I was surprised. The green curry was delicious and the Pad Thai was colorful and tasty. Our soup was just a little on the salty side
Genuinely disappointed at the other reviews written about this Dara Thai location. In fact, I took it a little bit personally as I've had Thai food in many different parts of the world (NOT including Thailand,) and I drive from Phoenix to eat at this specific location. Granted, there are other wonderful reasons to come to Page. There is a Dara Thai location half way in Flagstaff that simply does NOT make the cut. The Massuman Curry at this location makes me moan AND swear while eating. The fresh rolls are delicious, fresh and crunchy, BUT THAT PEANUT SAUCE. I would drink it if it was on the menu. NOW, the, "wet dog food," pineapple fried rice that got so many painful to read reviews.... my boyfriend asked me to take it away from him because he could NOT STOP EATING IT. He said he was SO GLAD he ignored every review and that it was absolutely mind blowing. I'm disappointed in people... always finding something to complain about. Some of the reviews were from people who had Dara Thai as there only review... sad. To address the 15% gratuity charge. This is a touristy town. MOST THE RESTAURANTS have this charge as most Europeans and Asians do not know or "remember" to tip in the American culture. Dara Thai is my FAVORITE Thai food. Judge my taste buds all day long, I'm living for this curry.
So good. Always recommend their orange chicken. They don't give too much vegetables so you might have to ask for an extra side, same with rice. But all in all, most of these meals would be too "out of the way" to make at home (ingredients ready at hand) to perfect something like this. I went here probably 20 times within 6 months. Good stuff. Also give the servers some time. This place is really peaceful and the vibes are always great. If you're trying to eat and are in a rush, just order take out over the phone.
