What People's Say About Place

Such a great experience and service! We loved the sushi, and they even let us have it as a boat plating, which was really nice and aesthetic. It's not on the menu, but you can probably ask for it.

I would give Tara Thai & Sushi 100 stars if I could! Their food is amazing and the atmosphere is very chill and welcoming. The ginger dressing is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Their sushi is delicious and fresh every single time. And my daughter is vegetarian, so I’m happy with the options they have to offer her. Chessa waited on us the last couple times. She was very attentive and personal. Genuine. My new fav local spot!

Super tasty food here. Always tastes fresh. The Volcano Chicken is one of our favorites to get. As a sushi fan myself, I tried the Broken Heart Roll today and it was incredible. Would certainly recommend!

We looked for a sushi spot in St. Simon’s Island to go to on our day trip, and landed on Tara’s. I’m not the biggest sushi fan, but I LOVE Thai food, so this was the perfect spot for us. My partner and son got sushi, which they said was really good. I got the drunken noodles, and our 5 year old got chicken and rice. I should point out that they do not have a kids menu, so we had to order a regular portion of rice, and then bring the rest home. Totally fine with me, because I was the one who got to eat it the next day The drunken noodles were amazing, as well as the rice that I tried the next day. I was too hungry to take a photo of our cream cheese wonton appetizer, but it was some of the best wontons I’ve had. Our server was great as well and memorized our large order without writing it down! Highly recommend! **Sushi pictured is Tempura Shrimp, Sakura, 911, and Broken Heart.

Would always recommend! We had dumplings as appetizer and 4 different sushi rolls. Everything was absolutely fresh and tasted fabulous. The different kinds of rolls we chose paired up well and we were 100% satisfied. The waiter was very friendly, always at hand, but never in our business which made us feel very comfortable. Very clean place and nice people. Thank you for the great experience.

One word…PHENOMENAL! As a person who eats Thai Food (whether I’m cooking or eating out) a few times weekly, this food was delicious! Just came into town and was hungry, so I decided to stop in for lunch. The pad Thai was very flavorful with the perfect amount of sweetness. Phillip was my waiter and he was very attentive to my needs as well as his other tables. I will most definitely visit here again before leaving town

Hands down Best Thai and Sushi on St. Simons Island 5 stars service, clean and delicious! They also have great value lunch time menus that you will love
