When my sister and I had a craving for Vietnamese soup, I suggested we try Tamarind because of a post I saw on social media.
I was really surprised at the full menu of vegetarian and vegan options available. We settled on some bo lo lot and a couple soups (pho and duck noodle) to share.
I've eaten vegetarian and vegan food from time to time, some of it good some of it not so good. But also, I never feel completely full without meat.
That wasn't the case at Tamarind! Not only was everything so flavorful, things that "should be" meat in our dishes tasted like meat, and I was actually full! (No 2nd dinner stops at McDonald's for us!)
I underestimated the power vegetarian/vegan dishes. When done right, it's quite amazing!
