Wasn't going to write a review, but... – I have been to Tamarind Tree once, long ago to dine in the restaurant. I thought it was good. This posting is for the last time I ordered. I recently placed an order and went in to pick it up. The order was not placed when it was called in. I waited an additional 45 minutes for the order which should have been ready when I arrived to pick it up. After taking it as a treat to my sister and brother-in-law, my sister noticed the beef salad tasted off. She ended up throwing it away becaus... read more
Very bad food and manager/owner was screaming and cursing staff – The food here is very overpriced, especially compared to the many fine local Vietnamese places along Jackson St. I lived in Dalat so I know the cuisine and this is not true, authentic Vietnamese food. It is designed to get white people to pay more for something they cannot tell is NOT Vietnamese cuisine. The worst of it all though is the manager who was screaming at the various servers. She was a shrill banshee and her tantrums only spoiled the mood (we speak ... read more
One of Seattles best – Very good, tasty and Fresh. We had quite a sampling of the food and it was all great. Easliy one of out favorites. Try the escargot, the Crepes, and the soups. Entering the place at night is a little scary, it looks like you should not be there, but once inside the ambiance is quite nice.
love the food! – we have been here many times and love the food here. Within reasonable price range. They have lots of vegetarian options too. If you get confused with the long menu list, simply ask a server and he will happily assist you. The desserts are great too! Love this place.
Overpriced, bland and poor service makes for a bad experience – Quick review of the restaurant, I agree with one of the reviewers and how this restaurant now caters to Americans. This is reflected in the price of their dishes and also the majority of patrons that dine there. The pricing for most of the items are about $5-7 more than most Vietnamese restaurants but are cheap in comparison to a American restaurant, i.e. Applebees, Denny's. Many unfamiliar diners will see the price and think wow, cheap for "authentic" Vietnames... read more
This is NOT Asian food – Go in and count how many white people are inside versus the number of asians. You have hyour answer. This place does not serve asian food - this is Vietnamese food for white people. If you want Asian food then go to one of the other real authentic vietnamese places all over Jackson Street. This is like going to Panda Express only with Panda Express you are in a mall or airport. Here you walk through a garbage dump to get inside a "fancy" bistro. Puuuhleeeeze! This ain't Asian food - just to let all y... read more
Tainted food gave us stomach distress, horrible service – We had dinner here and the service was awful, simply awful. The manager was shouting at the staff for a variety of things but we couldn't understand since it was in Vietnamese. We thought this was really terrible but then she came over to a table and began yelling at a customer! Her behavior really spoiled the atmosphere. That wasn't the worst of it. The food was ok - average at best. We thought we had an average meal that was made a lot worse by the manager's behavio... read more
My favorite restaurant – I love to eat out, and Tamarind Tree is my favorite place to go. From the outside it's unimpressive, but the inside is upscale, trendy, and has great lighting. When you walk in it feels like you've found a hidden treasure. The atmosphere is comfortable and bustling, but the best part is the food. Everything I've tried has been superb, but please don't leave without eating the spring rolls, yellowfish, garlic green beans, and the grilled banana cake. I promise, you'll dream about this food at night!
DO NOT GO IF YOU HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY – Warning to those who have a peanut or any other kind of allergies. I told the waiter, specifically about my deadly allergy and he assured me that no peanuts or peanut product of any kind would be in my order. Well disguised in my last bite was a bunch of peanuts, i had to leave the restaurant immediately to get medical treatment. Watch out!
