the combination fried rice barely comes with any meat. for 15 dollars I'm just paying for rice with soy sauce in it. so skimpy.

I used to eat at Tam’s all the time and it was pretty good, but last night was a huge disappointment. It was very bland. I ordered what I always order: kung pao ($13.95). There were no chilis in it! When I asked the wait person about it, they said there are no chilis in kung pao? The vegetables looked tired, the mini corn was almost unrecognizable and brown. I also ordered salt & pepper prawns ($18.95) and they were okay, light on the jalapeños, though.
Giggle… and tonight I have terrible farts. I will think twice before I spend $40 here again.

Been coming here since I was a student and it’s a MUST to stop by every single time I visit. It’s delicious, savory and my favorite Chinese food place. I always recommend all my family to go to when they come visit and it has become everyone’s new favorite place as well!

Classic American style Chinese food at a great price. I got the Mongolian beef lunch special and it was exactly what I wanted: delicious and an excellent value. The staff were friendly and the overall vibe was chill.

As Santa Cruz goes, this is the best chinese restaurant in town. Owned by a nice family and we always get great service here. I love their shredded pork with garlic sauce and spicy shrimp with tomato sauce.

Tam is a Westside Chinese food institution! It has been there for a long time . Quality ingredients and great cooks . Family oriented old school environment plus a fabulous outdoors patio. Give it a try

War wonton had 2 small pieces of meat. A picture shows! Could not upload a pic. Broth had no flavor, I asked if I could change the soup for anything else. No! I was told to add salt.Maybe the fact that the place was empty should have been a clue.WILL NEVER RETURN!
