Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd – It what it is! There?s a reason this Vietnamese restaurant is packed tighter than a Tokyo subway with 30 some patrons shoehorned in shoulder to shoulder waiting an hour or more for a table, all while neighboring restaurants serving up similar dishes stand eerily quiet. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere are all spot on IF you know what to expect. I met a bunch of friends there on a Saturday night and frankly eating was not really the primary objective so the whole experience was lively ... read more
Amazing meal! – All I can say is I'm glad I live within walking distance. I go to Viet Wah market all the time for Asian ingredients but had never tried Tamarind Tree until now. We had a large table (15) and though it was a tight sqeeze at a smaller table initially, the staff warmly accomodated all of us as soon as another table came open. I've heard from others about some dodgy service in the past. Not on this packed Saturday night! The owner seated us and the service was prompt, accurate and friendly all night. Everyone in... read more
Best Vietnamese food in Seattle – No surprises here. I heard about this place from my girlfriend, who couldn't stop talking about the food. Since she's Vietnamese and a local I could only assume she knew what she was talking about. After that I read a few reviews on City Search and other community sites. Everyone says the same thing: good atmosphere, decent to good service, and fantastic food. Well I finally went last week I was not let down! If you're new to Vietnamese food I highly recommend the noodle bowls, especially th... read more
Recommended but w/ Caveats – First off, I would like to comment on all the suspect reviews that are slamming this place. Everyone that slams this place seems to have a grudge against the owner or some other hidden agenda. All these "reviews" seems to have intimate knowledge of the owner and her staff. Questionable. All these reviewers also only have ONE review on citysearch and it's only for this restaurant. They also proceed to recommend some other Vietnamese place to eat at. Fishy? I'm sure some are genuine, but all of the... read more
Undercooked Food, Bad Service – Don't be fooled by the decor. For a Vietnamese restuarant, sure Tamarind Tree is above par when it comes to the decor and plate setting. That was one of the reasons I always went here. However, on several past visits, it has me rethinking. On one occassion I came for lunch with my father. My meal came out a good 30 minutes before his meal followed. I took it as a one time thing and still returned. But my last trip has me permanently banning the restuarant. This time I was in with my husband fo... read more
over priced, horrible service – My friend and I dined here two days ago. We ordered an appetizer, a "bon bon" salad, and we each ordered an entree. It took them approximately 15-18 minutes for the server to notice we are there and another 20 minutes to get our appetizer. By the time our entree arrived at our table we were there over an hour. The portion was super small, the quality is not there, but our total bill was $34.78 not including tip. I wouldn't rate this place is a romantic place because all they did was they dim t... read more
mixed feelings – This is a difficult review for me to write, as I feel that I've been able to see both sides of the coin on this restaurant. I was very happy when Tamarind Tree came about, as it gave me an opportunity to get some of my friends into eating Vietnamese food--food of which was prepared well and was delicious. I especially love the tamarind tree rolls and think about them often when I am not eating there. However, as it turns out, and old friend of mine had been working there as a server for some time. Because of... read more
Very rude management, overcrowded, mediocre food – I used to go to Tamarind Tree all the time when it first opened. It was nice to eat decent Vietnamese food outside of my mom's house. The place is well decorated giving it a warm ambience and the price is reasonable. I recently returned only to find that the food quality has gone way down. The restaurant is overcrowded and the management is unbelievably rude. The sister's owner was not only rude to the servers but to customers as well. We got to the restaurant at 5:30pm and ... read more
Beautiful Vietnamese Restaurant – One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants, they have a great menu with a couple of items you cannot get anywhere else. Prices are very affordable and it is one of the nicest Vietnamese restaurants, in terms of decoration, that I have been to.
