We tried the panang curry, Thai fried rice, veggie tempura and pad Thai noodles. Each dish was excellent! I felt their Curry dish could have been a bigger portion. Other places will give you slightly more.

One of my favorite places for Thai food . Very happy many times return customer. I am also fairly picky with food so this review being 5 stars from me means the quality of the food has been constantly above average and mostly excellent. Thank You.

My family has been going here for years and my parents love this restaurant. We’ve tried everything from the curries to the Pad Thai to the the different soups. For our last visit we had a beef dish with white rice. Then we also got Tom Kha Gai Soup with one of the curries. Always a nice restaurant to eat at and the food is always good.

I’ve been visiting Chandara for years and I recommend it to everyone I meet because this restaurant is exceptional. The food is delicious, it’s high quality and the service is out of this world. My recomentation is to try all their curries specially the pineapple curry, please don’t miss the Tom kha soup with shrimp and of course the bbq ribs and pad Thai.

Chan Dara Thai Cuisine offers amazing Thai food! This is my second time visiting because the food was so delicious the first time. I ordered the lunch special, which comes with a choice of soup or salad, pineapple fried rice, and two spring rolls. You can also choose your preferred protein. The portion size is perfect for one person, and the quality is excellent. The price is very reasonable at just 14. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back again!

Very sweet waitress’s and delicious food! And we were able to place a reservation for 10 people , just in case it was packed, which it wasn’t, it was very empty, which was very sad, because the food quality was actually great! Hope to visit once more in the future if I’m ever in town again!
