Review Tamarind - Philadelphia

Julian Jiaconnie

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.

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!

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.

We stopped in here since many restaurants were not accommodating inside dining as of yet. It was empty as expected. This was my 2nd time here and the 1st time I came before the pandemic and it only had 2 other customers. I was skeptical at first but was in the mood for Thai food so I decided to check it out and wasn't disappointed. This time we brought someone else who commented that the place looked suspect since it was so empty. For appetizers we ordered the crispy angel and their breaded shrimp. Our young server suggested we try the crispy angel over the spring rolls and they were good. Crispy, light, filled with seasoned chicken and a sweet sauce to accompany it. Our plates came out one at a time which was exactly how they served us in Thailand. The chicken and shrimp Pad Thai were flavorful, hot and very good. My green curry tasted really good although I picked out the string beans. I felt like they could've been cooked a bit longer but that green curry hit the spot for me. In fact the person who ordered the shrimp curry switched meals because she preferred the green curry taste or her shrimp Pad Thai. As for drinks we had Thai tea which could've been a bit sweeter and a sprite.

This happens to be my favorite Thai restaurant. The place is small, clean, the servers are nice and the food is delicious! One of the best places to get fried calamari, dumplings, and their Curry is delicious! You can literally just take the sauce and serve it over plain rice. It's that good. Their menu has more options, Curry is just one of my personal favorites! They also make the best Thai tea.

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 haven't been to the restaurant, only ordered on GrubHub. Let me tell you, their panang curry is absolutely delicious It definitely runs on the spicy side of the spectrum. I usually like 'medium spicy'- when I ordered I set the spice level to 4 / 10, and it was definitely at least 25% spicier than other Thai food I've ordered. Still delicious, just order a star or two milder than you usually do!

Love this restaurant! My favorite is the ginger curry with chicken and shrimp. Always so good. Even now when I order out it taste as good as eating in the restaurant. Hope this place survives Covid. Definitely support this place! Really great Thai food.

One of the best Thai restaurants in the US. It’s a small unassuming restaurant but we always have had an exceptional experience here. The food is outstanding and the service and cleanliness are top notch. It’s our regular pit stop before we head to the aquarium in NJ. Our 2 year old daughter always looks forward to eating here.

The chicken curry and chicken with peanut sauce was delicious

Everytime I come to this restaurant I enjoy it. Highly recommended. Byob is also a plus. The spice level is very spicy. If you’re a lightweight in the spices, stick to a level 1 or don’t add any. It’s just as good. Happy Eating!
