I wandered into Tamarind Vietnamese Grill after having "one of those days" that cries out for comfort food. After seating me in the small dinning area, the server noted that the menu is entirely vegan, which was fine ... because what modern meat eater doesn't dig a little tofu from time to time?
I ordered the Paradise Rolls (i.e. salad rolls) and Lemongrass Vermicelli. The appetizer rolls came out quickly and were well prepared. The vermicelli main was flavourful and included cubed tofu, vegetables, and a variety of sprouts and crispy tidbits. I enjoyed the meal with no complaints. The food tasted good.
The thing is, Tamarind's dinning area is kind of a cluttered mess. Not dirty ... but I wouldn't call it sparkling clean either. The menus are on printed sheets of paper, which is also a little difficult to take seriously. All of that said, the experience was positive and I would return regardless ... for a lazy Saturday afternoon lunch.
