Bad all around – I have gone here before, but wanted so badly to have a good experience. I am Vietnamese and want to support the community. Parking is horrible with spaces made for bicycles used for SUV's. The restaurant is nice walking in, but soon realized you are in for a wait. I'm okay with that, but as the owner's sister is yelling at the staff and telling them how she will make them pay, the nightmare starts. We are seated too closely to the next table, the drinks are weak and overpriced. The wait staff continues to ge... read more
OMG GREAT – Fabulous, especially for the price. It was about $7 a dish and the setting is beautiful, romantic with a waterfall and fireplaces outside, in the winter there are heatlamps!!! GREAT!!!
Customer service nightmare, bland to mediocore food – The food is not worth the terrible service. I can't believe citysearch gives this restaurant such high ratings. This is the most disorganized place I've ever been to and the bland to mediocore food that came out of the kitchen after an hour and a half wait did not make up for it. Starters and entrees were forgotten and drinks had to be asked for at least twice.
amazing food – This is some of the best food I have had. They have the best eggrolls in the world. It is a really hidden find. I haven't had anything that I did not like. Friendly and helpful staff and everything is a great price. Check it out!
Worst dining experience – As a Vienamese person who loves his culture and cuisine, I am sadden to see this place rated by staff members of Citysearch as being the best. The food is of poor quality and not authentic. What is worst is how the owners treat and talk to there staff. I can understand them when they yell at the workers in foul / slang language. The patrons of this place then support this behavior. They reinforce it with the owners and citysearch also is part of that. Please go else where for good vietnamese food, a... read more
Tamarind Tree operate like Wal-Mart – maximizing its bottom LINE at the expense of its EMPLOYEES and CUSTOMER SERVICE. It's true what the reviewer posted on 9/15 said about Tamarind Tree owners. Tam and his sister do mistreat their staff. I would NOT patronize a place where the owners take advantage of their employees. Here is an example, the cook screwed up your meal in the kitchen. Instead of taking it as loss of doing business, Tam and his sister take it out of the WAITER'S CHECK. I believe that what Tam and his sister ar... read more
Unprofessional, Below Average, Pretentious – It's absurd to give this place any reviews higher than Below Average. First, the unprofessionalism of the wait staff was laughable. The place may look nice, but the service is Chinatown service. However, you can't blame the wait staff for being so high strung and rushing, because the owner talks to them like they were slave. I am a vietnamese patron, and I overheard the manager telling the server that she had to pay for the dish that my girlfriend didn't eat because her chicken wa... read more
Some good some ok – My friends were raving about this place, so I went to dinner there the other night. The atmosphere is nice, light dimmed, candles...It looked like a nice place compared to all the resturants in the ID district! I had the braised fish, which came out in a tiny little hotpot and was 70% smaller than I thought it would have been. It was good but wasn't anything to rave about. I also sampled a tamarind martini, which I wasn't too impressed with. The Lemongrass martini was better. The reason why I gave this pl... read more
waste of hard working money. – The food was retively cheap but there was no quality in the food. Our server was very unprofessional, she complaint to us about the owner (we were there to enjoy our evening). Trying to be upscale Vietnamese restaurant in town. The ambience was not as fancy as everyone said. The retaurant was in a scary neighborhood (I don't recommend to go there after dark).
