Incredibly good food. The real deal. Spicy level 7 is nothing to toy with. I'm from Texas, and this is HOT! Very nice woman took my order and the food was very prompt. Probably the best Thai food I've had in my life.

Went to this place for lunch and it did not disappoint! Had vegetarian spring rolls ,they were great. I ordered red curry , the tofu in the curry was so soft, amazing in taste. For tofu alone, I can visit this place again! My friend ordered the Tom yum soup and it was great too. My other friends ordered Mock Duck, Vegetable Radna , all equally great. Overall the food was great with large portions, also you can make it spicy based on experience, they even have options which are Jain (no onions, no garlic) which was an added bonus. I would recommend this place if you are looking for great Thai food!

The food is really good. If you’re a fish eater I’d suggest the teardrop red snapper. Top tier (chef’s kiss). Oh yea the staff, they are friendly and pleasant.

I ordered food from their website and never received it, when I called to find out why, they said my food was made and they are waiting for doordash to deliver it and it's not their fault since a third party delivers for them and I should call them and request a credit. Well that should be a customers problem who you chose to deliver your food, you are responsible to stand behind your website delivery. If you cannot do that, then you should not provide deliver from your website. I have disputed the charge with my credit card and will not order delivery again.

We used to really like Tamarind pre-pandemic. We dined in recently for the first time and it was a terrible experience. There was no AC and the only 2 fans in the restaurant were being used for another party. It must’ve been close to 90 degrees inside. There was 1 waiter who checked in on us once. When I mentioned the temperature she mumbled “sorry can’t do anything” and walked away.I’m giving 2 stars because food was fine. Noodle dishes are pretty decent but the meat dish was dry and our appetizer was under-seasoned. It’s not good enough for me to consider going back after this experience.

The food is okay, but in September, 2022, they dropped the portion size by 50%. When I called to see if it was a mistake, they got very obnoxious, insisted that they hadn't changed the size, and shouted at me. Here's a picture of a $16 entree. $100 for dinner and it won't feed four people.

The food was spicy! I mean spicy!! Well priced and the owner was warm and authentic. Nothing fancy, just good food.

Excellent appetizers I had the fish cakes want to spicy they kind of remind me of golden farms vegetarian breakfast sausage but they were still delicious. The lemongrass stuffed sausage was also delightful the sauce. With it was great too. The calabari could have been better it was crispy the batter needed a little bit more flavor but it was still fine I wish the calamari was cut into bigger pieces therefore it would not have been dried out for two crispy after being fried. I would recommend cutting the calabari into larger square size pieces. I ordered the teardrop staffer it was wonderful make sure that you specify how spicy I had mine measured at number 4 which was spicy enough had enough medium heat and the sauce was very flavorful had lots of fresh veggies and the fish was a very nice size totally cover the plate and was a meaty portion. The thai iced tea was definitely yummy but it you're not into high caffeine I don't suggest anyone with hypertension drink this iced tea because of the amount of caffeine that's in it I had to. With a glass of water but it was still fine.

The chicken curry and chicken with peanut sauce was delicious

Food was amazing! Wonderful flavors! Highly recommend!

Delicious food and the owner/chef is a warrior. She was handling the restaurant cooking, serving and handling patrons all on her own. The food was so delicious and the plates were plentiful.

Had their ginger salmon and pad woon sen and both were delicious! Seriously great! The woman running everything was busy, but very sweet. I'll be back!
