    Spicy prawn pad kee mao
    Jenn N.

    What a delicious treat! Beautiful restaurant located next to a strip mall, so there's plenty of parking available. The server was attentive and nice, seated me right away. I came on a Tuesday morning, right around 11am. They had lunch specials so I opted for a pad kee mao with prawns and extra spicy. Great portion and definitely did a great job with the spice.

    What a little gem in Belmont. We tried this place for the first time and definitely will be coming back. Clean restaurant waiter was awesome. Prices are fair. And what is a plus is most of the dishes are gluten-free. I will definitely come back. you do have to try this place and their dessert mango and sticky rice was one of the best I've had. This is the new spot to be.

    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.

    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!

    E7. Pad Khing (Beef, Chicken, Pork, Prawns or Tofu)
    Daisy Z.

    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.

    We are regulars here, both for dine-in and take out. The host and hostess are amazingly gracious and friendly. The food is very tasty. We've sampled a number of items over the years and have never been disappointed. Their herbal tea is amazing!

    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!

    Kao soi w/beef
    Sheila E.

    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.

    A5. Satay (Chicken)
    Avinash V.

    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!!!

    SP1. Shaken Beef and Mango with Sticky Rice

    Chala and her staffs are very friendly and polite. Love the food, staffs and the interior environment. Pretty easy to find parking spaces on the street.

    Chicken with Peanut Sauce
    Jensen F.

    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.

    Hands down the best Thai in this area. We came in for a table of 27 & they happily took care of us. The food was legit! Every one of us loved what we ordered. Their shaken beef, pad Thai and pad gra pow were phenomenal!

    Pleasant ambience

We ordered the shrimp pad thai, red curry beef, chicken gra pow, Kaor Moo Yang (pork jowl), garlic rice, and coconut rice. Overall, the food was very flavorful, and we enjoyed the meal. The pad thai was the standout. Great flavor and good shrimp, although the noodles were surprisingly hard. We were told that's how they're supposed to be, but personally I'd prefer them a little more cooked. Still, we happily finished the whole plate. The pork jowl was excellent on its own. I don't care for the sweet sauce on the side at all. The red curry had great flavor, but the beef was a little tough. The gra pow was tasty but saltier than I prefer. The one thing I'd skip is the coconut rice. It was so sweet and gummy that it felt more like dessert than a side dish. Plain jasmine rice next time. Thai iced tea was delicious, and the Thai iced coffee was good but very sweet. We paid about $107 before tip for three people, which feels pretty standard for the Bay Area. Service was generally friendly, although our server was a little dismissive when we mentioned the pad thai noodles. Overall it's a great meal. Will come back to try other dishes for sure!

The fried tofu was not pillowy soft inside and fried crisp outside.

We ordered the eggplant with chicken, Pad See Ew with beef, pumpkin with shrimp, and the calamari salad. The calamari salad was my favorite. It was my first time trying it, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The grilled calamari was incredibly tender, the fresh vegetables complemented it perfectly, and the dressing had just the right balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. I'll definitely be ordering it again. The eggplant with chicken was another winner. It's one of my go-to dishes whenever we visit because it's consistently flavorful and cooked just right. Our pumpkin with shrimp initially came with overcooked shrimp, but the staff handled it exceptionally well. They quickly replaced the dish without any hesitation, and the new serving was much better. The customer service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and quick to resolve the issue. It's always refreshing to dine at a place that genuinely cares about its customers' experience.

Owned by a winner of a reality cooking competition, it makes sense why it is priced at a premium, and with that follows pleasantly attentive service, innovative dishes, and comfy seating. I found the food to be generally pleasant, and the only thing that is unpleasant is their proximity to the train station that interrupts conversation on an intervalized basis. Old Siam - I see the vision of this luxury take on an old fashioned, which is flavorally accurate. I think the garnish is a bit too simple beyond the block ice to properly convey that look. Roti Mataba - Intriguing dish as I've never seen roti used to encapsulate before, but its smart as it creates a flaky exterior that pairs incredibly well with the curry sauce. Pad See Ew - Large portion of a classic dish that is served on the lighter side but still tasty. I would clean up on the presentation though. Mango Sticky Rice - Beautiful arrangement of mango sticky rice that shows great knife skills of the mango. You can see the heart shape starting to form of the sticky rice as well, which is beautiful. I think it coild be even more advantageous to use rose to dye for a more warming color palette.

They set up a little table for the cake, and some graduation items that we brought. They really went out of their way to make our celebration comfortable.
