Outrageous behavior by Manager! DO NOT EAT HERE! – We had dinner here last night. The food was pretty average but that is not the reason I am posting. No. During the meal I happened to get up to use the Gent's. My business was light and quick and I was in and out in less than two minutes. After about 10 minutes the female manager comes over to the table and loudly accuses me of having choked up the bowl in the men's toilet! I was speechless but I realized that every eye in the room was squarely on me - I have never been so h... read more

Really awful restaurant – this place used to be a favorite but we haven't been here for almost a year. the service has really gone down hill, really, really down hill. we waited for at least 30 minutes to be seated but when we were taken around the corner to our table we saw at least 4 empty places. since nobody left during that time the tables had to be empty! the woman sat us right next to the bathroom. there were open tables but she told us they were reserved for other people. the three of us sat down and it took another ... read more

Fecal matter on floor – The food here is no bargain but the problem is that the toilet overflowed and there was fecal matter all over the floor, oozing into the restaurant proper. The manager's response? She just ignored the situation. When some people got up to leave she began screaming at them to pay their bill (the food had not yet been served!) This was a really strange series of events!

the not soo greatest place to go ever again – The service is just plain horrible. It should not even be most rated. Number one, they didn't seated us properly, the onwer greated us and went around doing something afterwards and then we had to ask a waiter that was coming by if we could sit outside and so we had to wait another 5 minutes or so and then we finally got seated. Second, they add extra money just because you add some eggs to your plate or more meet. I understand that they are to add extra money if you add somethin... read more

Tamarind Tree Delivers Disappointment – Horrible service, horrible food, and a horrible experience. For someone who has a lot to say, I am left speechless about the disappointment this restaurant is. The food I waited nearly an hour for arrived cold, the waiter spoke to me in broken english, and to top it all off I was treated like some bum off the street. Never again will I expose myself to such a less an mediocre experience.

On & Off Days – This place definitely has a good variety of tasty selections. Everytime I'm here, I'm always well satisfied with the dishes in front of me. What I do have to comment on is their service. Sometime you'll get a waiter/waitress that is pleasant, other times it seems as if the waiter/waitress doesn't want to serve you at all (lol). In overall, this place has good food and beautiful decors. My reasons for always coming back is for their delicious food and great price.

OFF DA CHAIN! Ho Chi Minh once said, "The essence of fine Vietnamese cuisine lies in the roots of the Tamarind tree." Tucked away in a strip mall of all places, this restaurant ain't yo cookie cutter Vietnamese restaurant. Rather, it is a sophisticated yet comfortable place to be.

Poor reviewers don't know what they're talking about – I've only been here twice, and I may not know very much about vietnamese food, but this place is a fantastic find in my opinion. The parking was a problem - we had to wait 20, 30 minutes for our food the first time, and it was a Wednesday night. My mother and I ordered the grilled pork and shrimp spring rolls (a bargain at $6 each) and the two dishes were big enough to satisfy both of us (although we weren't too hungry.) The spring rolls are to die for! We also ordered t... read more

Cold help and soggy rice – After hearing about this place three times in one week, I decided to go ahead and try it to see what all the hype was about. I called in 20 mins prior to picking up my lunch to avoid the crowded restaurant that everyone seems to complain so much about. When I got there my food was not ready and the man who was helping (one of the owners) was extremely rude. It wasn't what he said it was what he didn't say. There was something about his demeanor that was completely cold and uninviting. Then again, I... read more
