We have visited both the Eugene and the new Springfield location. They are both fantastic. We love the Pumpkin curry, Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Fried Rice, and Coconut ice cream. We haven't found a dish that we don't like. The service is lovely and you can't beat their $8 lunches. More

We refer to Ta Ra Rin affectionately as Thai-hop (it's was originally an I-hop). The food is wonderful with our favorites being the avocado curry and pad kee Mao. Everything is good. The service is outstanding. There is a very peaceful mood that permeates the restaurant. The lunch special are less than $8! A great value! More

This is Chao Pra Yas other place, it is much larger and has the same menu. I prefer this one to Chao Pra Ya based on size and comfort. More

The food isn't extremely authentic, but the flavors, ingredients, and presentation are all very good. The food is flavorful and nicely seasoned. Most everything is a very good execution of your standard American-Thai food. You won't find more obscure dishes, but you won't be disappointed with standards. More

They chose Ta Ra Rin, and we had a very pleasant dinner sharing the tastes of many different plates: Ribs. curry,. Tom Yum soup, fish....The dishes were distinctly flavored and blended well. Decor was pleasant, service was unobtrusive but with a smile. I give Ta... More

They have a really polite and attentive staff. I recommend ordering the appetizers pot of gold, and the garden salad rolls. I order the chicken pad thai every time we go there it's the best in town it's so delicious. I always order a side of peanut sauce to pour over my pad thai it's the best peanut sauce. I... More

Wanted lunch, felt like Thai, in the area, so we thought we'd try Ta Ra Rin for Saturday lunch. Menu posted at entrance before entering and we usually look at those, but figured it's Thai, how could you go wrong? So we didn't check, -- which was good, because if we had, we would have turned away. There isn't any... More

We had tom yum soup with shrimp (hot), green papaya salad (medium), and a dish called Swimming Lady. They were all good. The soup had a lot more ingredients than any other tom yum soup I've had; they included cabbage and lots of onions. The green papaya salad - even though we ordered it medium it seemed spicier than the... More

After a long weekend in the High Desert, we craved some Thai spicy food and opted for Ta Ra Rin based on a friend's recommendation. Great find in Eugene. Service is fast and friendly. Appetizer spring rolls were fresh and tasty in rice paper wrappings . . . not a case of sitting in the cooler waiting for an order.... More

Ta Ra Rin is a delightful Thai restaurant. The staff is quite welcoming and the food is magnificent. The portions are substantial and there's no problem getting leftovers boxed to take home. The building appears to have been some other type of restaurant in the past but it has been nicely redecorated to give a feel of Thailand. The Pad... More
