One change I've noted previously regarding the new direction Westfield has taken at its Montgomery Mall property, is that new restaurant additions now get more of an exterior presence. For some, this includes signage, architectural branding and/or an exterior entrance.
For others, including the future Tara Thai, outdoor patio dining is a major design element. Here, construction continues alongside a mall entrance on an upper garage level near California Pizza Kitchen and Sears.
It appears this new location will be quite a step up from its former storefront at Bethesda Row, and its other nearby location in Spring Valley, in terms of the space.

Tara Thai had its day. It's really not that good and most have sort of been there, done that and moved on. This location, along with some other newer mall eateries, will fail. Why not put a Coastal Flats or any other brand in that company's suite? I can't remember the name of that restaurant group but they dominate at Reston Town Ctr and each are excellent and are always packed. Yet, Montgomery gets mostly crap.
While I agree that the food was not great at the old Tara Thai, the service was fantastic! They knew that the only water our family drinks is Voss, and even though they did not sell it, they would always send a busboy out to buy some when we dined there. I hope my kids are extended the same courtesy when they visit the new mall location.
7:40: Great American Restaurant Group is the name of the company you're thinking of.
8:47 Voss is for plebs, I'd much rather have Fiji or Pellegrino
Thanks. Well, it's a mystery why they aren't here. Finally, MoCo got one - Coastal Flats. But that's Gaithersburg.
Thai food makes my poops burn!
Now that's some funny there.
