We ordered 3 items, pumpkin curry, tofu yum salad, and spring rolls. The pumpkin curry was the best of 3. The tofu yum salad was good, except for the greens, which tasted like they were not washed well. Eeeek! The spring rolls also were stuffed with this cheap store package of greens. The woman that took our order said it was Safeway box of greens, which makes sense. Safeways in this area have the reputation for low quality produce. We will probably do another take out order at some point just to try again, but first impression was that it wasn't worthy of being put into the regular rotation. read more

Went to Tub Tim Thai Restaurant for a quick lunch. At the noon hour we were the only patrons which should have been a clue. When we left an hour later, there were two other parties of two in the restaurant. Service was fast and courteous but the food was lacking in taste and originality. Ordered the seared pork lunch plate. Instead of being grilled, the slices of pork were merely pan fried with little to no sear. The accompanying sauce was a bottled sweet chili sauce, the same that was served with the order of imperial rolls we had as an appetizer. The positive was the cold Singha beer that cost $4.50/bottle which is a bargain in Marin. The interior decor was dated with faux plants. Nothing remarkable about this establishment and will not return as there are much better Thai eateries in the area. read more

My salad was I incredibly disappointing. The salad was wilted and expired. Lastly, the dressing was drenched all over.

I really like this place. Definitely a hidden gem, and Pad Thai is great. The ownership is friendly, so I feel good about giving them my business. I will say that when I go it's often pretty empty and quiet, but I go at odd times. Laid back atmosphere. read more

If you want a refuge from the busy life in Marin, and want to eat great Thai food, come to Tub Tim. A tiny perfect place. You think you are in a faraway country. Peaceful. The owner is courteous, knowledgeable in sports on tv, polite and fun. The food is fresh, flavors are perfect such as in green curry. Beer and wine are served along with tea and soft drinks. Come to Tub Tim and feel refreshed. The prices are moderate and affordable. The wood paneling at entry way is sophisticated along with pure white table toppings. If you've ever traveled abroad, you will feel right at home here. read more

The hidden gem of Corte Madera. We entered hungry and came out happy and stuffed. The 4 items we ordered were chicken curry, basil tofu, peanut duck, and mango sticky rice. They each had a unique taste and were delicious. I requested the yellow curry medium spicy, it had a tasty kick to it. The sweet mango on sticky rice was also excellent: Mango on warm sticky rice with condensed milk... yum! Those were my 2 favorite dishes. We sat in a peaceful, cozy corner that was nicely decorated. The service was quick and friendly. We are definitely returning soon. read more

zero chicken in my pad Thai and 2 pieces of tofu. leaving chicken out of chicken pad Thai is kind of unreal. do not recommend

Tried for first time after being reassured by Yelp reviews. Food was delicious, quickly prepared and reasonably priced. Favorite was pumpkin curry, though Pad King stir fry veggies and sauce w chicken was very good, fresh veggies in rice paper and accompanying peanut and sweet hot sauces were tasty, Tom Kha soup was large and good. Papaya salad was crisp and tasted as expected but was a bit salty for me. Portions were generous. All I described was relatively mild though flavorful. Will definitely order again read more

Cozy and welcoming with great food. We had Imperial rolls, Satay, Pad Thai our standard menu items to judge Thai restaurants. The food was very tasty and well balanced with flavor and spices. The service was friendly and attentive. There when you needed it. A great value in every way. (Sorry no pics. We were enjoying the meal we just focused on the food and didn't think to take any photos-this time) read more

Cozy hole in the wall spot with great curries, appetizers, and more. I was skeptical at the outside, but have been back multiple times to get a full taste of their menu. Definitely worth a try! read more

We came for dinner and ordered 3 dishes and one of the dish was the Thai famous tom Kha Kha soup. it is made with mainly the protein and coconut milk.. There were no coconut milk taste at all. It was with Chicken and I even asked the server if there was coconut milk in there but there was no hint of coconut milk in it. It was watery. The other 2 dishes were good and tasty. read more

I've been meaning to try this place as it's been recommended to me by coworkers. Sat in on a Friday afternoon and ordered the tom yum soup, imperial rolls, iced coffee, and pad see ew. Overall a pretty good experience and my favorite would be the soup. Price wise you get a lot of food and it's valued well. I think the pad see ew needed a bit more flavor but overall a recommended spot for your Thai food needs. read more

Great place. Very hole in the wall behind a gas station but the prices are better than listed if you call to pick up. And it's really good. Good portions, nice service. read more

First time here and the place was welcoming and got my party of 3 seated and served with drinks right away. I appreciated how our server refilled our drinks and checked in once the food was served to make sure everything was ok. As a vegetarian, they had many options. I ordered the pad thai. It was decent. It lacked a lot of flavor and the noodles had a sort of rubbery texture and they clumped together. The dish could use some sort of garlic or peanut sauce. I think they could also add more vegetables in the dish itself to make it more complete. The Eggplant dish and the Yellow Curry dish was well flavored. I like how it came with rice at no additional charge. The mango sweet rice dish could use more coconut sauce. Overall, the place was not bad, but there are definitely other Thai places to check out. read more

we have been going to this restaurant for many years. You will not find a kinder more gentle host than the owner. I love the pumpkin curry and I also love the drunken noodles. I also love the chicken noodle soup. The prices are great. The service is lovely and it's a charming environment. read more

Worse Thai food! Absolutely no flavor whatsoever the food is bland and my husband literally had to take my order back twice. Then after that I didn't finish it. This is definitely by far the worse place I've ever been to eat Thai. read more

Wonderful owners! The food is prepared & served with great devotion. Delightful restaurant hidden behind a gas station.

On Saturday I was at the Pet Club store and saw that Tub Tim Thai restaurant on the other side of the parking lot was open. It had a reasonably priced lunch menu. I purchased an order of Chicken Pad Thai from a very nice gentleman. It was a very generous portion which I brought home. Very tasty. I definitely recommend Tub Tim. read more

Today was our first time and last time to try Tub Tim. We ordered green curry with fresh tofu and pad kee mow with chicken. Both dishes were bland and no flavors. The green curry had no green curry paste. It was just coconut milk, few slices of pumpkin, broccoli and zucchini. No soy sauce, galangal or fish sauce flavor at all. The pad kee mow was stir fried with salt, onion, red bell pepper and cabbage. Again, no flavors. This is not Thai food at all. Arawan Thai in Sausalito has much better flavors and fresh vegetables. read more

Wow. I just don't understand the negative reviews. People either love it or hate it, nothing in between. If you want fancy decor and extensive wine list there are plenty of pricey options. So what if the plants are plastic? I find it charming. a bottle of decent wine is $20! I have been going there for years and the food never disappoints. If you want it spicey just say so, they are very accommodating. I love that it's a small family business as well. It's so refreshing that Marin still has these hidden gems. read more

Honestly I'm shocked by the negative reviews of this place - I've been going here for many years and I LOVE it. I'm vegetarian so I've never tried any of the meat dishes but my dad loves the pumpkin chicken curry and my stepmom loves the salmon. I usually get either the yellow curry or the praram and both are delicious. I also love the fried tofu as an appetizer. Thai food has always been my absolute favorite cuisine and Tub Tim is a fabulous little family owned restaurant that I'm always happy to support. (Not to mention their prices are more than reasonable for the area!) read more

Very tasty food. I got the vegetarian green curry. Many Thai places don't seem to make an effort for vegetarians. It's either fish sauce-laden, or if you specify vegetarian, it's bland. But the curry (for $12) comes in a very small container. Add $ for rice. This makes me wary of ordering from them again. read more

Tub Tim - Corte Madera - Delicious, but the container is too small to justify the $12 price tag. - Thai Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Made the mistake of trusting door dash reviews. Food was incredibly disappointing. Pad Krapow (basil chicken) should be light and bright with basil. It was greasy, flat and wilty. Tom Yum Soup had fried tofu (why???), sickly brown green zucchini and broccoli (these are NOT good soup veggies) and a bunch of sliced onion. Even the jasmine rice was a letdown -soggy and sticky. Not in a sticky rice-good way. Solid regret. read more

I'm totally adding Tub Tim to my take-out/food delivery speed dial! They say that the best things come in small packages. I feel that way about restaurants. Sometimes the best food comes out of the smallest kitchens. I've always passed by this hole-in-the-wall when taking my dog to get groomed next door. It's been a Corte Madera fixture for years. I've heard friends rave about the place. But I've never pulled the trigger and actually ordered a meal from here... until recently. And man oh man, this place rocks. I ordered the Kang Curry (yellow curry chicken and potatoes), and the Pad Kee Maw (spicy/tangy Thai noodles with chicken and other veggies). Of the two dishes, the Kang Curry was the undisputed champ. Very flavorful yellow curry. Creamy; fresh vegetables; soft potatoes; and lots and lots of chicken! Serve this over some steamed Jasmine Rice (an extra $2) to soak up all the juices, and it's like you've dined and gone to Heaven. The Pad Kee Maw was also good. However, it was a bit sweet for my taste. I like mine with a little more kick. But then again, that's what Sriracha is for. So all good. All in all, the whole dinner came to about $25 (not counting tax, tip, and DoorDash fee). But still, given the huge portions that they give you, this is quite a deal. I had leftovers for lunch AND dinner the next day. After my delicious meal tonight, I'm officially a member of the Tub Club! read more

The Pad Thai test. This is a simple Thai dish but one that speaks volumes about whether a Thai place is worth your time. Necessary ingredients - fresh noodles, chopped peanuts, egg, chicken, green onion, bean sprouts, tamarind, soy sauce, dried shrimp, and nam pla. Made right, it's one of the best dishes. Few restaurants pay attention that's why is a great barometer. Tub Tim is *awful* What they call Pad Thai - Stale noodles, a few pieces of chicken, mysterious flavorless red sauce on 1/3 of the noodles which were dripping with grease and barely warm. That's it. Shameful. Don't ask about the cashew chicken... read more

Always a pleasure coming to eat here. Highly recommend if you are in the area and craving it!

Our go to Thai restaurant in Marin. Great food at good prices. Try the pumpkin curry and the sautéed eggplant.

Honestly wouldn't even give one star. Ordered green curry with tofu, got chicken instead. Literally just chicken in a curry sauce, they didn't even add any vegetables. Won't ever order from here again, won't recommend to anyone either. read more

In the later 80's and early 90's my friends and I from work (Lucasfilm then Pixar) ate here nearly every week. Tub Tim taught me what good Thai food was and I've held it as my standard ever since. I have no idea how it is now. I haven't been back in years. But, if it's anything like it was it's hard to go wrong. The cashew chicken (can't remember the proper name) was a gold a standard. read more

Loved our waitress. The food is great and reasonably priced! I am Chinese so I am very particular about authentic (and spicy) Asian food. This place does it right read more

ordered the duck salad - came with no onion and no mint. seems like restaurants are advertising one thing but delivering far short of their promised ingredients. The duck was partly hard and stringy. I will search elsewhere for decent thai food read more

Love that this is a family business. The man who is the server is kind and I always enjoy seeing him each week when I come in for lunch. The food is prepared fresh and is reasonably priced. If you have food allergies, make sure he knows it is an allergy so they don't forget. read more

Yea Unexpected place but terrific food. Can't wait to go back. Yummy chicken, yummy noodles! read more

Just discovered this hole in the wall place... Sure the decor isn't modern and yes this place has seen its days.. But you know what, it is clean and inviting so who really cares that the place isn't newly renovated - plus it ads a bit of vintage charm. The food was absolutely spot on. Started with the fresh rolls which were so great - fresh mint, shrimp, and veggies all enclosed in that lovely wrapper and accompanied with an amazing sweet chili and tamarin sauce. I then had the Tom Yum Soup.. which was very good - although, I have to say I have had better soups... this one was lacking just a bit on the sour, sweet, and spicy notes that are truly defined in this soup. And the pork and shrimp dish was really excellent. The proteins were cooked perfectly, the rice was infused with lovely spices, and the chili sauce was a nice component to the dish. All in all a wonderful meal. read more

Wow - I'm glad I was introduced to this place. Although it's small, it has a nice charm and the food tastes amazing. I think we were the only two people in the restaurant, and the nice man let us spread out our motorcycle gear on another table. We both got pad thai and the chicken skewers to split. The chicken with peanut sauce was delicious and we put it on our meals. The pad thai was amazing, but the shrimp was slightly over-cooked. Unfortunately they served the soda in warm cans and glasses, and I think they were about $2.50 each. Yikes! I would definitely come back her maybe for takeout, but it wasn't overly awesome to dine-in. We were super hot and it didn't seem like they had the air on. Other than that the man was very nice, but not super attentive to our needs. read more

Love this little place. I always pick up yummy soup after I've picked up my dogs food next door. Love the owners who are super sweet. Had the coconut nut last night.... omg. So good and at only 8 bucks . I'll be back in two weeks read more

We ordered Siam rolls, asparagus crab spinach soup, stuffed chicken wing dinner that came with fried rice, and chicken green curry with eggplants and white rice. The Siam rolls were quite good, and the soup was good in terms of ingredients but too salty for our taste. The stuffed chicken wings were good, and my husband enjoyed his curry. read more

They are very nice people who work there, the food is nice. It is very close to my work and home, so I keep going back. It is not inspiring, the flavors are very one-note, and not many vegetables. read more

Literally almost next door to me. Would have been so nice to have a go to and to support my local restaurant. Really disappointing. We ordered about five dishes and not one where I could say this is really good. The coconut milk soup with shrimp was watery and hadn't the delicious depth of broth flavor, galangal, lemongrass or the hint of sweetness it should have. The fresh shrimp rolls had fresh shrimp-one halves to make two pieces which is typical-and chopped lettuce with a sliver of cucumber. Nothing else. Thai basil, mint, some mango maybe rice or cellophane noodles inside? Nothing. The peanut and sweet sauce accompanying were decent. Could not have been more bland. The Thai basil chicken had dry chicken, tinny bamboo shoots and little sauce all smashed into a plastic 1/2 pint. The typical carmel colored sauce wasn't evident at all. The yellow pumpkin curry had perfectly cooked pumpkin and again, dry chicken and little else. Sad to see what appears to be such thoughtless cooking. We haven't eaten out in soooo long and we were looking forward to this meal. There are many choices and unfortunately, although I really wanted this to be our go to, it won't be. read more
