    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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

My plate came with a side salad, which I appreciated, that added a little freshness to the delicious entree. So yummy! ALSO, if you are a big fan of Thai spice (like myself), order a level 5 spice. It's so good! 10/10 recommend, 10/10 will come back again :)

The food is honestly the best Thai in the Peninsula (my opinion) with very authentic flavors. I'd definitely recommend coming with a group so you can order and try more dishes together. Here's what we ordered: Pineapple fried rice with seafood: This is probably my most favorite dish. Super fragrant, flavorful, and loaded with seafood. Even the picky ones or children can have it, as it's not spicy at all Panang Neua: Beef rib was super tender and basically falling off the bone. It came with sticky rice and sauces, looks aesthetic in picture. Tom Kha with chicken: A rich, creamy coconut flavor soup. Very comforting and an easy dish. Tom Yum with shrimp: A bit sour and spicy soup, I really like it but some found it a bit too spicy. Pad See Ew with beef: I originally thought I wouldn't like it because I expected it to be a greasy heavy dish, and it was in fact still a little oily, but the beef, the seasoning and sauce were actually really good, so I ended up enjoying it a lot more than expected. Overall, this place has been consistently great both times I visited. Definitely recommend if you're craving Thai food in the area.
