    We absolutely LOVE Tamarind. The loaded tater tots is my favorite thing in their menu. They really are loaded. Kimchi, meat of choice, special sauce, green onions, and we always have leftovers. Their pho is always good too. Service is fast and staff super nice and friendly. Definitely stop by if you're in downtown!

    First time at Tamarind tonight before an Eccles show. Service was quick and food was great! Love the cool mural and decor! I got the Tamarind Bowl with vermicelli noodles and curry chicken! Delicious! So was the Lychee Ginger Refresher! My husband got the egg noodles with tofu and a Diet Coke! We also shared the rice crisps!

    My husband and I were looking for something to eat on a Sunday evening and found this within walking distance from our house. I love finding good places near us that are open on Sunday because downtown can be pretty quiet at that time. There are iPads to order off of and then they bring the food out to you/yell your name for you to come grab it. The iPads allow you to customize things still, and for us, it was a smooth ordering process. After ordering, they brought out my husband's iced Thai tea. They also checked to make sure we had the Diet Coke we'd ordered, which we did because we already grabbed it out of the fridge. It is a bottle of Diet Coke, which isn't my favorite, but it got the job done! I like the size of bottle they offer. My husband also liked his ices Thai tea!! For food, we started with the cream cheese wontons. The wontons were so light and crispy. Cooked perfectly! The filing was good, but I do like them a little sweeter than these were. They came with a good sauce. My husband ordered pho. The broth was so delicious and made for a really cozy meal. The meat in the pho was good. He accidentally ordered Chinese sausage on the side, and it was actually so good! I got the 6" banh mi with pork belly. I love that they offer multiple sizes because I didn't want a full sandwich. The meat was delicious. I got no spread on it. The veggies were super fresh and the flavors combined well. I also tried a chicken egg role. It was good! Overall, we really enjoyed this experience. The food was delicious. The people who brought out our food were kind. There is a lot of seating with tables for 2 and 4 people that could easily be pushed together to accommodate a larger group. I even saw the employees help a big family sit together at one table. I would def recommend this place!

    I finally got to try Tamarind, and I'm glad I did! I ordered the beef phó and it did not disappoint! This was one of the best phó that I've had in the SLC area, and the sad part for me is that they had so many delicious items on the menu that I didn't get to try them all! The phó had rich, deep flavor and very authentic! Service was lightning fast. I got mine to go, but they had plenty of tables to eat in and very kid friendly, with free parking lot beside the place for ease of access! I highly recommend you give Tamarind a try!

    Good pho - plentiful helping and no soy in broth! Fresh rolls were just meh but glad to have options with my gluten, soy and dairy allergies. Great comfort meal within city creek center, especially on a chilly day!

    Honestly, our group had pretty low expectations going into a pho restaurant in Utah (since most of us grew up in California and have grown up using pho our entire lives) but we were pleasantly surprised by the pho here! The entire place is self-service - You order on a tablet, they bring it out for you, and you bus your own tables. Pretty efficient all around!

    Garlic butter Banh Mi Sandwiches (Regular Size) & Tamarind Bowls (Coconut chicken)

    Found this place on Yelp and never heard of it but decided to stop in. I have to say, the experience was a little confusing. I would recommend having a more clear process on whether to order at the counter or the kiosks, and what to do once you order. It seemed like we waited a longgg time for our food and were unsure if we did something wrong. However, I was pleased with the food. It seemed very authentic, lots of Vietnamese people there to eat as well. My sister and I split the Garlic Butter Beef Bahn Mi sandwich and the coconut chicken tamarind bowl and I thought the order was just right. Appreciated that they had lots of different protein options, wished a majority of them weren't extra charge. Overall, yummy food. A great Vietnamese option for the area.

    I was walking around SLC for the first time, solo, and wanting to both discover the city but also get something to eat. This spot was perfect. I don't always want a full-blown fancy, sit-down meal when I'm alone, so I liked just being able to relax here and watch the city go by out the window. The food was great! I had shrimp spring rolls that were fresh and flavorful. I also got a regular size Bahn Mi sandwich with the coconut curry chicken. It was really good but super-filling. I had half remaining and boxed it up and gave it away to some people out front. I also really enjoyed the side of beef pho broth that came with it. Also enjoyed having the sambol sauce and chili oil at the table so I could spice things up a bit. Probably more of a traditional lunch spot vs dinner, but it all tastes great no matter the time of day.

    Popular place for fast Vietnamese good. We shared a custom bowl and each had a Ramune to drink. Ordering was easy enough at the screens on the left, and the staff brought it out to us.

    We had family meet us at our hotel (who we hadn't seen in YEARS) & it was funny that we had a bunch of foodies in the group. For such a large group we narrowed it down to 2 places and glad we choose Tamarind. It was a late lunch so we were keeping it light, but so many good things that we really couldn't hold back. Family & good food are key, and we had so many memories. The staff worked with us to adjust the tables and as we all placed food orders on the kiosk, things came out as soon as they were ready. Food didn't disappoint, and we all were in family share mode. Spring Rolls, a variety of custom Pho's, Kirin Ichiban Beer... I couldn't keep up with all the goodies but reaching and grabbing from my cousin! Everyone talked about the Pho's and the flavors. The takeout containers helped at the end Mini family reunion and was not disappointed with the food, service, & value.

    Vietnamese Phở (customize) fried tofu pieces

    Great Pho! we got the beef pho with just noodles, one with chicken, and also fried the fried tofu. The tofu pieces were quite large and would have preferred if they were smaller. The pho was a great size and came with all the toppings, fish sauce, and chili paste for you to adjust yourself. Personally I thought the fried wontons were average and was disappointed in the lack of flavor. The cream cheese wontons had a very small amount of cream cheese we were hoping for a different ratio. It's a self order kiosk and they bring the food out to you, the place was very clean and we still felt very cared for. Would definitely come back for the chicken pho but would skip the appetizers.

    I was downtown and returned to Tamarind. Glad that they are consistent in their quality of food. My pho broth was full of flavor and fresh ingredients. The loaded tots were delicious as ever and my first Banh Mi I've had here was delicious as well. Again everything is self serve and readily available. Their employees are always helpful and kind. Just ask any employee if you have questions. Wish they were closer to me, but definitely a worthwhile visit if you are craving pho. Parking is the only struggle as it is street parking only.

    Trivia: What tasty morsel of potato is offered here as a side? (Surprised me at first) The ordering system along the left wall when you walk in, is convenient and easy. Take all the time you need to review the menu items and make a selection. I didn't seek to change much so I didn't discover how difficult or easy it is to sub things in and out. Bathroom situation is sort of weird. You need a code to unlock it, but you don't know if someone is in there. The pho was delicious: - I really enjoyed the two varieties of onions. - The meatballs were great. - I wasn't a big fan of the tendons and there were a lot of those. Sometimes, in the broth they sort of look like onions. I would ask if I could sub those out next time. When I was done eating and still had a LOT left, I asked for a takeout container. It was a tall styrofoam almost like a big gulp. It was too narrow to pour in easily and made a big mess, which, because I felt bad, I cleaned up. I'd probably ask for a different container or ask them to do it over the sink next time.

When I walked in, there was a line of people all waiting for their delicious breakfast. Excellent sign! I placed my order and had to laugh with the worker because they were so many hilarious signs around the shop! Of course I had to try the brown butter sea salt cookie. Can you blame me? My sandwich was made fresh and devoured instantly. The focaccia had a slight char, the egg was cooked perfectly, and the bacon was super crunchy. I didn't love the American cheese, but that's just my personal preference. There's not a lot of seating options besides the one table in front. No biggie - pull up a curb or stand and eat. My sandwich was delicious and I'm excited to go back and try other variations!

I ordered the Paisano, which was flavorful and had good ingredients, but unfortunately, the focaccia was burnt, which took away from the overall experience. They make their own focaccia, so I was expecting that to be one of the highlights, but mine was noticeably overdone. The sandwich itself was good, but at $17, I just don't feel like it was worth the price. I'm glad I tried it, but based on the hype and the cost, I expected more. For me, it's a good sandwich, but not a $17 sandwich.

Which was made up of perfectly fried pork topped with Dukes mayo (my fav), ranch-kraut (my new fav), and dill. You can really taste the ingredients which is such a plus for me as too many ingredients in a sandwhich can get muddy. - They had a special butternut squash soup with calabrian chili which was phenomenal. At only $3 it was a perfect side for winter. CONS: - Pricey. I think at this price point if it added a bag of chips or some time of fruit or a small little side or maybe a can of soda included it would be a perfect meal and a very reasonable price point. My only suggestion.

I…read morehad noticed Deadpan from some foodie articles and accounts - amazingly, they decided to keep their business going due to the massive support they received when they announced their closure a few months ago. The owner was kind and helped me pick between the two sandwiches I was being indecisive about - the Oh Schnitzel and the Hot Chopped Cheese. He asked if I could handle spicy and I said yes. I let him choose a sandwich for me between the two and he chose the Hot Chopped Cheese and said he thinks I'd enjoy it. He described it as a sandwich with chopped-up cheeseburger fillings inside, and they use a lamb and beef patty instead of just beef. Right, he was. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich and the meat was spiced and slightly spicy, but nothing I couldn't handle. The sandwich was flavorful, and I'm impressed that the bread wasn't too thick because sometimes places serve sandwiches with way too much bread-to-filling ratio. The bread was also a nice texture, I'm glad it wasn't too toasty or crunchy like some sandwiches can get that rub the roof of my mouth raw. I felt like I had a well-balanced meal out of the Chopped Cheese. Flavor-packed meat, cheese, veggies, bread - that's all you need. The food was delicious, and I don't doubt that the rest of the items on the menu taste great, but the prices feel high, yes, even in this economy. I say this because I was able to finish this sandwich and still felt I had room to eat some more, perhaps a little snack. I almost always cannot comfortably finish my food in one sitting when dining out, so that was a sign to me that this wasn't all that much food, and I could tell from the get-go because the sandwich did look small.

It is on 500 s which is a one way road so be sure to look out for that when getting there. They have parking out front. I'm OBSESSED with the concept here with the Big Dipper name and fun dipping menu. All the sandwiches are a play on a French dip with a themed au jus substitute. For example, they have a banh mi with a pho soup you can dip it in. I got the grilled cheese which came with tomato soup to dip it in. The sandwich was INCREDIBLE.

Their tots come in fun shapes and are hard fried so they aren't super soft and potatoey in the center. I also enjoyed the cucumber juice. It was a little sweet but overall had good flavor. They had fries on the menu and in the pictures of the kids menus but they wouldn't let me pick fries for a side for the kids menus online.

I got it on white bread with fries, and the fries came out crispy and paired nicely with the sandwich. Between the sandwich and the fries, it was a filling meal and I left satisfied. Where it fell a little short for me was the value. My total came out to around $21 with the fries, which felt a bit expensive for a sandwich meal, especially considering the amount of pastrami was fairly modest. It was enough to make the sandwich filling, but at that price point, I would have expected a little more meat to help justify the cost. That being said, I enjoyed the food and would come back to try some of the other sandwiches on the menu. With prices going up everywhere, I understand that eating out has gotten more expensive, but this still felt a little high for what you get. Overall, it was a good and satisfying sandwich--I'd just be more inclined to come back regularly if the portion felt a little more in line with the price.
