I called for take out. The voice in the other end was amazingly upbeat with a little Thai spicy humor. When I went in to pick up my order I was greeted like an old friend. The hostess was a bit cheeky in a warm and non-offensive way. The interaction was very refreshing from the usual: "That'll be $X. Do you want to leave a 20%, a 25% or a 30% tip?" The food dishes were full of flavor and fresh ingredients. I'm assuming the heat factor had been Anglosfied. That means if you don't like spicy heat, you'll do fine here. The pricing was comparable other restaurants. read more

Food was cold and bland service was atrocious. Rats running around cockroaches in my food about the worst place I've ever eaten.

I have come to this restaurant many times. I have come to this restaurant many times. The people are very nice. The woman who works here is from Bangkok. She knows her stuff. The portions are generous and the food is not too spicy. The decor is excellent and parking is easy near the restaurant. read more

Very Happy with my first visit to Thai Tamarind. Nice people running it all around. Pad Thai is my go - to in Thai cuisine when trying out a new place, I was truly amazed how good it was here, it was completely on point. Had other plates just as good. Looking forward to returning again, it was great! read more

Quick take: neighborhood Thai restaurant I ordered take out here many times. Food was good and service was good. My friend and I decided to dine in for dinner. Last time we patronized this business. The waitress was literally kicking us out of the restaurant. She stated the restaurant will be closed at 9pm. We said okay. It was 8:30pm. We wouldn't have stayed until 9pm. But we were no longer welcomed at 8:30pm. It was an embarrassing situation for me because I told my friend this was a great place to eat. I would recommend ordering takeout. I would be a happy camper if I never dined in. read more

This is our new favorite Thai restaurant. We've lived in the area for a long time & recently just discovered this hidden gem. My wife & I love the tasty food. Pride, care & passion are obvious from the beautiful food presentation & with each tasty/authentic flavorful bite. Challah & the wait staff are friendly & welcoming. They have done a beautiful job of decorating the interior. It feels like a visit to Thailand when you go! read more

My wife wanted to take me to her favorite Thai restaurant for my birthday. The food was so delicious and the staff is so friendly and attentive. I look forward to visiting here again. Thank you Chala, for the great service and birthday wishes! read more

Went here for a Thursday date night and will definitely go back! The green curry with prawns snd cashew chicken were both delicious and good portions. Both servers working were so kind and helpful while also giving us our space to enjoy our meal. The prices were good for the quality. Very easy to get to with lots of parking close by read more

Was in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. While the food was good (3.5 stars) , unfortunately I've had better! The curry was a little watered down. The chicken satay was so thinly sliced, it was dry and overcooked . I agree with other reviewers that it was dry and do not recommend this dish. Aldo had the fresh spring roll. Was good but again, I've had better. The best fish we had was the pad khing with chicken. We asked for it to be hot at the spice level and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and great. read more

My goodness gracious I love this place so much!!! The owner is the sweetest soul, who really cares about the food she makes. The restaurant is stunning inside and they have a calm ambiance.

They have been here for 18 years and I never want to see this place leave. Such a good spot, with wonderful customer service. The owner remembers all her regulars and really treats you like family. So if you are in the mood for good food you know what to do, ORDER!!! :) Thanks Thai Tamarind for satisfying all my Thai food cravings! read more

I think this place has potential but the food needs to be a little more flavorful. The taste test is not so popular between my husband and me. The items of things we got is not a difficult items or exotic where the taste might be a bit of a challenge to make. Simple things like Chicken Satay, Honey Roasted Duck and Chicken praram. I can tell you that for the price of Honey Roasted Duck is not worth it. The duck tasted old and chewy. There's lots of it but not a great thing when it doesn't taste good. Something about it doesn't sit well with me. Chicken Praram with no vegetables is very small in peanut sauce amount. The only thing that tasted normal is the chicken satay. They are not cheap in prices just fyi. The service is friendly and easy. They are very obliged to helping you out. Very much appreciated from me since I like friendly ppl. Especially when they are in service business and doing their job. I can tell you that the restaurant is very nice in decoration. Very quiet and very clean. The decor is well placed and their setting is simple. I did Togo so I cannot tell you how the service in serving goes. It is decent enough but if you like authentic. This is far from authentic. read more

Thai Tamarind Restaurant - Chicken with Peanut Sauce - Thai Near Me - Belmont, California

3.5 rounded up. Good casual lunch and I suppose dinner spot if you're in the area but probably wouldn't go out of my way to get here. I've only come for lunch since it's convenient and satisfies my Thai food cravings. Kao soi w/beef- tasty and big portion, however, the beef was a bit tough and there wasn't enough. I ordered from the regular (not the lunch) menu and it didn't say the beef was an extra $1 but it showed up on the bill. I do love the crunchy noodles on top and the noodles really soak up the sauce. Kao soi w/chicken- flavor is consistent with the beef kao soi and consistent with the amount of meat as well (not much). I think I slightly prefer the chicken over the beef though since the chicken wasn't as tough and no extra mark up. I'd get this again. Fresh spring rolls- tasted as fresh as it sounds. Came with 4 pieces and I liked the peanut dipping sauce it came with. Wouldn't mind getting this again. Chicken satay- this also came with 4 pieces and peanut sauce with some sweet pickled cucumbers. The cucumbers were a bit too sweet for me and the chicken was a bit too dry. I'd probably pass on this in the future. Shaking beef- tasty, tender, big portion, ordered from regular menu to share family style but it comes as a lunch special with rice. read more

I stumbled upon this place after hearing so many good things from other people. After craving Thai food I finally decided to try this place and WOW I am impressed! The inside is clean and decorated beautifully and the owner is so sweet and introduced herself to us! The food was AMAZING and fresh! My partner and I also ordered the Thai tea a classic and it was something to write home about. Needless to say try this place when you need some comfort food and a new weekly addiction- don't say I didn't warn you! read more

Was really good for a while then me and my mom ordered food and got bad food poisoning from it. Think they might have changed ownership didn't see the same lady there read more

For a lazy evening when it's cold and raining. Nothing is better than a Thai Togo. We ordered 3 different kinds of food today. 1. Satay Chicken- I give it 4/5 it was warm, and it had good flavor. But I wish it was more juicy. I bet it could be 5/5 in the restaurant. 2. Tom Yum Soup- 5/5. This was an amazing soup with perfect amount of spice, lemongrass, ginger. 3. Curry noodles- 5/5 it was the best dish for tonight. The perfect combination of sweet spicy and crispy noodles. We can't wait to go to the restaurant and try more food. Let's not forget the service they gave us. The good food arrived right in time. Under 30 mins. Unbelievable!!! read more

My husband and I came here on a Saturday night purely by chance. The restaurant was clean with pleasant ambiance and quiet music. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with the owner and waitress about Thailand. We ordered the Tom Yum and Tom Ka soups, papaya salad, fresh spring rolls and Pad Thai. All were very good , my favorites were the spring rolls and soup. I had the Thai iced coffee with my meal which was excellent and not too sweet. Overall, we would recommend this restaurant and will return read more

The best!!! My husband and I went late to Thai Tamarind- I think we were seated at 8:15p- long day for everyone. We ordered all the yummies- chicken satay, green curry, yellow curry and tofu friend rice (we were clearly hungry!). It was all sooooo good! I'm thinking our food was near the end of the kitchen's day and yet the food was beautiful upon presentation and tasted amazing! I was really impressed and so grateful since we both had hard days. This place is a must! The people there are so friendly and care so much, and the ambiance is lovely! Food is the best!! read more

This is one of my go to lunch places as their lunch special is really good and they are gluten free/vegan friendly for my friends. The staff is very attentive and welcoming. I always get the pad se ew extra spicy but make sure you say you want Thai spicy if you want that kick like me. Flavor and most important the wok hei flavor is very prominent here which I love in stir fry dishes like this. If you know you know. The restaurant itself is not super big so I do recommend making reservations for parties larger than 4 just in case. read more

Great for take out, even better dine in. We always get the spicy crispy fish and it is clearly tastiest straight from the stove; but sometimes we get a craving for it and bring it home for a less expensive meal. read more

Food was super flavorful, place was super cute inside, and they were so sweet when accommodating my online order. I accidentally ordered two drunken noodles instead of one drunken noodles and one pad Thai and they had no problem changing it for me when I called in and the order was ready 10 minutes after that! Super fast service and for that we will be back. The food was great, HOWEVER, the pad Thai I got was SO spicy. They had mild, medium, spicy, very spicy, and ver very spicy listed as the options online. I chose spicy, and to be honest it felt very very spicy. I'm someone that can handle spice pretty well, but this was alllllmost inedible to me as it was so hot so be warned! Nonetheless it was flavorful and I will be back just maybe at a medium spice level LOL. read more

The taste and flavor of the food was monotonous, all we can taste was the saltiness of the fish sauce from the papaya salad to the tamarind shrimp ( which tasted nothing like tamarind) to the pad see mao. very disappointed considering we've had much better thai food for less. read more

Awesome food very clean and service is so nice definitely will be back again and will recommend to my family friends and relatives

My wife and I have been coming here over the last few years. We saw this place consistently friendly, fast service and was very nice upstanding ambience. For the food we have never been disappointed. Tonight's dinner started with the fresh spring rolls, which were delicious, then two different soups, which were so tasty and wonderful. I think this is definitely a Thai restaurant worth going to. read more

I think this is my favorite Thai restaurant around. The food portions are not that large, and it is on the more expensive side for local Thai food, so please be expecting of that. However the taste of the food is so amazing I will pay the slightly higher prices to have my taste buds so happy. It's Thai for to remember and I will be back! Everything we tried was really great. read more

Love this place. Food is excellent, way less oily than other Thai places (too much oil tends to make my stomach upset). Also less spicy than other places, which suits me well, too, though I'm sure you could ask them to make things spicier. It always seems quiet there, which makes it a great place to bring a group because you aren't competing with a loud restaurant. We've been consistently having our bookclub here bc there's always space, and the corkage fee is minimal. Service is fast, food comes out right away, and since they aren't that busy when we go, it's easy to get someone's attention. I recommend the Tamarind Salmon (and so does my kid), and the yellow curry with chicken. read more

So good. They a accommodated for an onion allergy and it still was delicious. Will be returning!!

I would give them 4 stars for the food as it was all pretty good. The atmosphere is also appealing. What I objected to, was being kicked out at 2:25. I mean she actually told us they were closed and we had to leave. Being in the food service industry most of my life, also owning my own restaurant, I would never do that to a customers. It's very common a restaurant will close when customers are still eating. The staff normally has at least an hour or more of clean up and prep for dinner service. The customer usually clues in that the restaurant is closing, and acts accordingly. So I was pretty surprised when she "told us to leave." She said it nicely, but it was rude. Prior, we were told we better order fast the kitchen was closing. That was at about 1:45. Hopefully the owner will see this review, and do a little retraining. As it won't take to long before you no longer have a clientele. No matter how good your food is. read more

We found this gem on Yelp while visiting from out of town and called in to find a table for our group in short notice. All of us came in famished and enjoyed the food so thoroughly. We ordered the Massaman Curry, Red Curry with chicken, Thai pineapple fried rice, Tom yum soup. The highlight of the evening was the Spicy Basil Thai Fried Rice and the veggie Red Curry, that we ordered for the two vegetarians in the group. Also, I appreciate the fact that they paid close attention to the spice levels we requested and were consistent across all the dishes so the dishes ordered for the kids came out at a medium while those the adults chose were indeed spicy as requested. The ambience was great, with excellent service and delicious Thai food. Fantastic experience !! read more

Thai Tamarind Restaurant - Pad see ewe - Thai Near Me - Belmont, California

I took my mom to dinner recently and she's kinda finicky, so I was hoping she'd be into Thai. I know that Thai can be hit or miss, but Thai Tamarind hit it out of the park and I was so happy, I sat down to write this. We arrived almost right when they opened and we were the only ones there for a little while. Staff was very friendly and attentive. I was hungry and the food was a quicker turnaround than I expected... I thought it was priced fairly well for what you get in return. The Pad Thai was really good (mom liked it) and their Panang Curry was also delicious. The white rice was fluffy and cooked well. My mom and I really enjoyed the sticky rice and mango at the end. After our meal and after paying, I needed to take care of some things with my mom at the table (we didn't stay for longer than 20 minutes after our meal) and they kept filling our water cups, which was really nice of them to do. We left when more people started coming in and after my mom and I figured out what we needed to figure out. The ambiance was really nice, the bathrooms were immaculately clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was great. I'll definitely come back. Also: my bro really enjoyed the leftovers we brought home, lol. read more
