  • I was expecting AMAZING after reading the reviews, but ended up getting AVERAGE. We wanted pho so did a search on Yelp for great places and came up with this one. After finally finding a parking spot, we walked down 6th Ave and were a little worried that we couldn't find the restaurant (especially after attempting to go to lunch somewhere that was closed for a private function that day). We were walking back to the car to warm up when I spotted Tamarind - it's actually on 10th ST! So the address is a little misleading... building is 6th Ave, actual venue on 10th. We arrived about an hour before close and were the only ones there. We took a seat, mulled over the menu, ordered veggie spring rolls and a couple of iced vietnamese coffees (when it was -20 out?? We're nuts). And then an order of beef pho and pad thai. The coffees took forever to arrive. As in, we were done the spring rolls (which were good) and I was partway into my main when the drinks arrived. Also, our meals came to the table separately, about 5 or so minutes apart. I get that they wanted mine to arrive hot, and often when there are large parties not all meals arrive at the same time, but when there are only 2, it makes more sense to bring both mains at once. I'm not a pad thai expert, but I was hoping for a little more flavour & kick, I guess. It was good, but didn't blow me out of the water. At the end of the meal, they never brought a bill, despite the fact we were obviously done. After some time, we packed up and walked to the till. Not sure if this is standard practice but we weren't informed otherwise. Maybe it was just an off day, or perhaps this place is more authentic than the other pho/vietnamese places I've been? Not sure, but it wasn't a great experience. Oh, and the walls desperately need a cleaning. I understand the "hole in the wall" feeling that's going on, but once I noticed it, I couldn't stop staring at the dirty walls. I'll probably try again, likely get a lemongrass chicken dish as this seems to be my 'usual.' Hopefully my next visit is AMAZING. (23/30)
