I've had a 7 year relationship with this restaurant and in that time have never been disappointed. It is hands-down the best Thai restaurant in Ithaca. (All are good, but this is different). The quality of their ingredients and nuances of flavor are a step above the rest. My go-to dish is Yellow Curry w/ Chicken, but I also love their Pad See Ew, and all their curries. Add a Thai Iced Tea (duh), a side of Roti, & spring rolls & you're good to go.Nunu, the woman who is the face of the business, is an absolute legend. (Nunu, I'm sorry if I'm spelling your name wrong.) Famously kind, caring, attentive; a delightful human being. She is a beautiful queen and deserves all of the accolades. I'm moving away from Ithaca soon, and I don't know what I will do without her and Tamarind. Can't say enough good things. We love you Nunu, and Tamarind, thank you for all the years of gorgeous comfort food and kind service!**Important - Call in your order! Do not place online. They lose money when placed online. And they deserve your money <3!**Vegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian but will sometimes skip meat just because. I'd double check with them about specific dishes, but since a lot are coconut-milk based, they should be good! You can order vegetables or tofu in place of protein in any of the dishes, as far as I know. And it's always delicious.

Always loved tamarind so much, until recently we tried the spring rolls and they aren’t homemade like they used to be. The old spring rolls were our absolute favorite in town, please go back!

This place in consistently good! Ok the building isn't much to look at, but they have some of the best soups (and take-out) in town - hands down. Tom Kha has great flavor and the proper broth/fat balance....def ask them to jack up the heat a little bit if you like spice. They are a mom & pop style place and do their own delivery etc - def beats door dash, so call it in (the entire staff is super nice).

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. We took out four dishes and were not expecting much after some major disappointments in a variety of Ithaca restaurants. The food was good! The only issue was too much oil in some of the dishes. Overall, good food.

Great Thai food. They actually have five spicy levels!

Cathy

The location and outdoor signpost (“exotic Thai and asiatic eatery”) seem sketch, but the place itself is pretty cozy.If you’ve got absolute no spice tolerance like me, the curry with the minimum spice level is still kind of spicy. (It’s good, just be prepared to drink a lot of water and bring tissues!)
