We went with a group of 4. 3 of us had the pho. If I’d never had pho before, I’d probably think it was good. However, I’ve enjoyed many great bowls of pho, and this was not one of them. We all agreed the depth of flavor in the broth was not there. I wished they had salt on the tables. The noodles seemed to be resistant to the broth flavors. The beef was very dry and chewy.My friend said the coconut curry chicken bowl was very good. The dipping sauce for the tofu spring roll was excellent.I found their request for us to bus our own tables did not go well with the difficulty of their dish-return setup. I did not enjoy splashing food onto myself.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options were well marked.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. There is not a "bad" option on their menu. I've tried it all. Reasonably priced and a good amount of food for that price. I gave service 4 stars only because they'll only give two sauces per bowl (which is fair, but I still want one more haha and I can't buy it from the menu). The people who work there are really nice. The restaurant is extremely clean. The music is good and it's not too loud for a conversation with your friends, but loud enough that eating alone is enjoyable. 5 stars. Great place.

The place is well decored and clean, packaging was well thought out and environmental friendly, which I love. The food flavor however is not as authentic as some of the other true Viet food in town (try Pho Saigon or Rollz, you will know what’s it about), hence it could be improved. Spring rolls don’t usually come with pulled pork, it’s stick between the teeth and not authentic, we just don’t do that in Vietnam. Orther than those, it’s a wonderful upcoming restaurant with very good price. ?

Our Pho was delicious, but we were very bothered by the scent of the plug in room deodorizers located in the restaurant. The deodorizer scent overwhemed the aroma of the Pho spices and even began intruding on our taste. We moved as far away from the plug ins as we could get. These plug in deodorizers should be removed.

Had Pho and the food was fantastic. You order by machine which is quick but impersonal. Not a great atmosphere but really great place to stop for quick service and fantastic food with sizeable portions. Would definitely recommend for a workday lunch!

I've been ordering Tamarind for my office consistently for over two years. Typically the food is pretty good, but I was really surprised by the way they treated our order today. I received a text notifying me that our order was finished and ready to pick up. When I arrived, our order was not there and they told me that someone else must have taken it by mistake. They told me they would remake it, that it would take about 15 minutes. I went back to work and returned around 15 minutes later, then sat waiting for my order for another 15 minutes or so. They then informed me that they would not be making my order and that they would give me a refund. They were really busy, so I understand it would have taken some time, and I was willing to wait. But they refused to remake the order. I do understand that mishaps happen, but I feel that this was handled really poorly. I had a group of hungry people that had already waited an hour for their food, who then had to wait another hour for an order from a different restaurant.

Good enough, but annoying to pay extra for standard pho items (tripe tendon etc)

Got the banh mi with an egg and a spring roll and the coconut refresher. $25. Felt kind of expensive for a banh mi and a drink with a side. Wouldn't let you pay with cash, and they didn't have a menu posted anywhere. You can only order on these stupid little tablets, pay with card, and then they had the audacity to ask for a tip after making you use them. Lazy business. Food was good, but smaller than expected for $25. The coconut drink had popping bubbles, NOT boba, and not really any fruit to speak of.

The pho was fantastic and tasted wonderful, I got it with chicken. The Thai iced tea was also very delicious. Service is quick, you order through a kiosk and they then bring it to you. Peaceful atmosphere.
