Reviews for Thai Tamarind in Bellevue, PA
Wonderful environment and delicious food. Zeta, our server, was ON IT. So sweet and attentive. First time here even though my... home is so close, and I?m so happy to know I can get such authentic food nearby. They?ve definitely earned a loyal customer! PS.Try the spring rolls, I got a surprise one with my salad and I liked it so much I ordered a whole side. Read more
SUPERB AUTHENTIC THAI in the Pittsburgh area, a short 15 min drive from downtown. Cozy restaurant with no-touch menu, short and... sweet. It looks a popular spot to locals of many persuasions. Takeout or sit in (I have done both), it?s simply excellent food.A FOODIE?S GEM. Start with Fresh Rolls and Fried Eggplant, contrasting but complementary textures and sweet tangy sauces thatwake up the palate (very much unlike the cliche peanut sauce in the run of mill Thai-style places. Any of the curry entrees arevery good, smooth well-balanced sauces; none of that pungent sugar-loaded curry so common in so-called Thai restaurants in thistown. My recommendation: Duck Curry, very crispy well seasoned perfectly cooked duck atop the smooth Red curry with bellpeppers and cherry tomatoes, carefully balanced with two halves of lychee just enough to brighten the palate: Simply Wow! Pairthe curry with any of the Thai stir fry veggies. I?m partial to the Hot Basil fry, extra veggies (natural sweetness of thefresh vegetables complemented with their brown sauce). By the way, enjoy Thai food with a spoon rather than fork/knife. Spoonthe curry or veggies on rice, mix, then enjoy. Spoon allows one to taste every drop of the sauce. Great service! Read more
Well, it wasn't anywhere NEAR as good as a few years back but the presentation was decent. Of course the prices went up, lol. An... almost 3 star. Almost. Sadly I can NOT recommend Thai Tamarind any longer since the flavors were incredibly weak and/or bland;so much tasted like it came from a jar and the top of the line "thai spicy" was a powder they sprinkled on top of every dishwhen presenting your level of spicy. Some of the powder hadn't fully dissolved during your meal so you would gets little clumpsof it in your mouth. The "so-called" Thai Iced Tea I had tasted as if it were a syrup from a bottle. Yech! Pictured you havethe Tom Yum soup, Volcano Chicken and the Thai Style Chicken Noodle. All bland and weak. Not pictured but as an appetizer we hadthe chicken satay, another huge let down since when eaten with a homemade peanut sauce or cucumber sauce, it is DELICIOUS! Thepeanut sauce seems to have some type of dairy added to it. Gross. Seated WAY in the back corner in the last pic you'll see your"typical American Ken", who did nothing but complain from he moment he sat down. Entitled as "F". DONT EAT HERE IF YOUDISAPPROVE of the restaurant or its style a**hole! Read more
Overall a decent experience. The food was high quality. The staff was not as attentive as they could have been, but it was not... the end of the world. Having gone a few times, the spice level (1-5) is not super consistent. Read more
My wife's go to for take out. Their dishes are are good. I enjoy their noodle soups especially the crispy duck noodle soup. The... curries are very good as well. I had this place rated at 4 stars, but after 2 recent visits and very good meals, it deserves aloved it. Read more
Absolutely lovely! My friend and I often pass this little nook of a Thai place. It was really our luck to stop in. The duck was... absolutely amazing and crispy. Their curries steal the entire show. Lovely little well lit place. Delicious food and I'm soexcited to spend more money there!! Read more
We ordered take out, and it was delicious. The trio curry was our favorite, and it includes a lot more than you can find at... other restaurants. I found the food to be the perfect amount of spice at level 3 (has a kick but you can still taste all theflavors). Both portions were large which makes up for the mid-range price. I would 100% recommend ordering the curry from here. Read more
Such a lovely, warm setting. Excellent customer service. They went above and beyond for the child in our party. We really... enjoyed the food. Parking out front, comfy seating. Reasonable prices and good portions. New favorite restaurant. Read more
