“The best place for Thai in Miami so far… Best Thai food that I know. Great service. You can sense owners are focused on food taste. I continue going back to Tamarind for great duck curry!!!!!”
“Best Thai restaurant in the Miami area… I have been to Thailand and have obviously enjoyed authentic Thai food there. I can simply say that Tamarind is the closest thing to real Thai food one can find in the greater Miami area. What a gem! I have been here for 2 years now and have tried a number of so called ” Thai” restaurants. Most of them were just disappointing to say the least. In addition, they are often coupled as Thai / Japanese restaurants. ( What an odd concept, but pretty common in this area). Tamarind Thai is definitely the exception. The service is impeccable, the restaurant cozy and elegant, the food just superb. I loved the place, highly recommend it and will go back soon!”
“My all-time favorite Thai restaurant!!…I used to live right behind Tamarind Thai restaurant, and it was all I could do to force myself NOT to go there too often and spend too much money! I love that place. It’s always been a little sad to me that it seems under-appreciated; every time I’ve been there, there have been several open tables, and a place that good should be full all the time, in my opinion.
“The food is simply amazing. One thing I like about Tamarind Thai is that they don’t try too hard to be anything other than what they are, which is a really darn good Thai restaurant. For some reason, almost every Thai restaurant in South Florida is also a sushi bar, and they often have 10-page menus. Sometimes the food is good, too; but Tamarind Thai has beaten out every single one of them for consistently excellent Thai food. Their menu has plenty of options, including several for vegetarians and vegans, but it is not so big it makes you puzzle over it for hours. Everything they make, they make really, really well. Their panang curry is TO DIE FOR. Best I’ve ever had, hands down. if you like fish, you must try the steamed whole snapper (Pla nung ma nao) with lime and garlic. I used to get very strong cravings for that, and it is very spicy, which I loved! I don’t eat meat or fish anymore so I won’t be having it again, but it was amazing. (You WILL have to wait about 25 minutes for it upon ordering–which they’ll warn you of when you order it–but it is worth every second of the wait.)
“Every time I have been there, the service has been very friendly and attentive. They have outdoor seating which can be really nice if the weather is right; it faces the square so you don’t have a lot of traffic in your face. It has a classy but understated atmosphere, phenomenal food (as I’ve said over and over!), excellent service and it is NOT a chain. It really doesn’t get much better than that!”
“Can’t find anything better than this! Clean, delicious, always fresh, service great, ingredients perfectly put together! The chef is a genius for better words!”
…the surprise second-place winning empanada came from Tamarind Thai Restaurant, which filled its dough with chicken curry, potatoes, onions and green tea.
