Our party of 9 were impressed by the delicious and fresh dishes. Our waiter was excellent, explaining the dishes and giving us recommendations, which were top notch.
Went with some coworkers before lightning game and it was a perfect time. Great food and service. The waiter was engaging and on top of everything!
Our waitress was phenomenal and the owner or manager was friendly and engaging. It gets a 4 because of the service.
Pors:
1. veggie spring rolls were very good as was the Vietnamese coffee.
2. decor/ atmosphere - this is a sleek, clean, modern restaurant that is great for business meetings and date nights.
3. The kitchen was excellent at accommodating food allergies.
Middle ground:
1. clay pot pork - I don't know what to make of it. It had a smokey, sort of brick flavour which was interesting...it was a flavour that I never had, so I am on the fence as to whether I liked it. What I did not like was the fact there was not a lot of sauce. Had hot sauce not been offered, it would not have enjoyed this because it was too dry. The rice was cooked well and I enjoyed the accoutrements.
Cons:
1. the avocado rolls - were stuffed with a whole bunch of lettuce and the veins of the lettuce. I did not care for them at all.
I hope that people support this restaurant. This like many on Dundas are struggling because of the construction. The service was wonderful and the food options are authentic and unique. I enjoy diversity in the London food scene and it would be a shame to see a restaurant like this fall victim to unfortunate circumstances.
I was on a mad run around town after work and I had my mind set on finding some great pad thai and rolls with options thinning out by the hour. I managed to get under the wire and order a pad thai with some spring rolls and fresh rolls. I ate the whole thing and was very happy. It was my first time ordering food there for myself and I will definitely be going back.
Had dinner here for the first time tonight with my girlfriend. The restaurant is beautiful, sleek, and modern. I found myself admiring the flatware and plates because even they stood out.
Then the food, absolutely killer! The waitress understood our vegan diet and guide our choices. We started with avocado rice rolls. The mint in the rolls somehow brings all the other flavours together. So fresh! The peanut dipping sauce has layers of flavour, not just a peanut goo like some shops. Beautiful!
I had the pad viet and she had the stir fry veggies an tofu. The house made soy sauce for the pad viet was delicious. The veggies, noodles and tofu were all Cooked perfectly.
Our server was great. She had a bunch of tables and no one else to help her and knocked it out the park. We will definitely be back
My only complaint is that they have avocados that are ripe and delicious. Where can I buy some??!
Incredible food!. My partner and I love Quynh Nhi's pad thai and wanted a nicer Thai/Vietnamese place to go to in the downtown area. So so glad we ended up at Tamarine. The appetizer (Taste of Tamarine, I believe) was nearly perfect -- didn't love the pork skewers but was totally happy with everything else. We split the beef pad thai and beef pad viet, which is a special soy sauce-based noodle dish, as well as a signature dish of Tamarine. I really can't over-emphasize how happy we were with our meals, particularly the pad viet. I have lived in huge metropolitan cities (New York, Vancouver, etc) and this is some of the best Thai-Vietnamese food I've encountered.
Amazing food and atmosphere. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.
I highly recommend trying the Saigon beer which was suggested by my server (who was excellent). It is a Vietnamese beer and apparently shipments are running low in Canada so try it while you can.
I had a ginger chick stir fry and it was flavoured perfectly. I had it about a month ago but it was so good I had to come back and write a review on it.
I highly recommend this place; I would go more often but it could get a bit pricey.
Great atmosphere, delicious good, over priced booze. The service was amazing, and the wings, sprung rolls and pad viet were perfect. The drinks were way over priced as I could barely detect any alcohol in my $11 double rum and coke ... Ill be eating there again but not drinking..
Very good food, fresh, great atmosphere, good service. Will be back.
Very sleek restaurant located in the heart of downtown London. I ordered the fresh spring rolls and the Pad Thai for lunch. Both items were excellent! The spring rolls were fresh with crisp ingredients and good flavor. The Pad Thai had just enough heat for me. The lime that it comes with adds an extra element to the dish as well. Would definitely go here again the next time I am visiting!
We went here for our anniversary and it was such an amazing experience. The waitress was friendly and helpful, went above and beyond to recommend menu items and she even offered to take a picture of my boyfriend and I. Service 5/5
The food itself is beyond what other Viet/Thai restaurants in London are capable of, it is a bit pricy in comparison but you can really taste the difference and more. Cannot recommend the Basil Beef and Tea Leaf Beef enough, both such amazing flavourful dishes. The mango shrimp salad and Pad Thai I had were really good too, and certainly better than anything else in London, but the beef dishes won the night. Food 5/5.
It's a bit out of the way and hard to get to with the construction, and definitely pricier, but worth the trek through construction.
My bf and I came here for dinner. The service was excellent and the food was very tasty. I had the lemongrass beef which was surprisingly spicy. My bf had the pad viet.im giving this a 4/5 because I don't think there was actually much meat in either of our dishes especially for the price charged. Lunch is probably a better deal... We will definitely be back though
Visited this restaurant before going to Budweiser Gardens to watch a show. The server was so friendly and helpful. We had let him know ahead of time that we had to catch a show and our time is limited. He made sure we were taken care of and still enjoyed the delicious dishes. We were more than satisfied. Great ambience, pretty classy place and yet very affordable. If you want to go on a date night or just a night out with friends and families, I would definitely recommend this place. Did I mentioned the food were great?! Well they are!!!

WoW went there for London licious and food was amazing. The owner came over and introduced himself and made sure everything was up to par with us. We will be coming back again.
My favourite Vietnamese restaurant of all time! Owner is so nice and makes it feel homey but still very trendy
The food was very tasty. The ambience was "okay" - very quiet for a Friday. I wouldn't consider this a "bustling" place for people watching / having a drink. Wine menu (by the glass) could be expanded. Was surprised to see so few traditional Vietnamese options but the menu was varied and also had excellent vegetarian options. Service was excellent.
I will definitely return!
A wonderful dinning experience! I highly recommend this place for Vietnamese cuisine. I had the Basil Beef which was outstanding! The dish had a lot of flavour and kick to it. It took me back to my back packing days in Vietnam. The service was wonderful and I enjoyed that our server took the time to recommend us dishes.
Exceptional food and staff! We last visited this location during 'Londonlicious' and were welcomed by an owner/manager, seated quickly and had a very friendly waitress. The food was amazing, and the only warning I'd have is to ask what wine is in stock. We ordered the only 'Shiraz' off the menu without ordering it by the winery name and a different Shiraz came because they were out of the menu's listed item. Not bad, but definitely a note! Otherwise a great meal.
I ordered the BBQ Vermicelli Delight. I think its description speaks for itself - seasoned BBQ pork, crispy spring roll and tiger shrimp skewer over vermicelli, cucumber, and sprouts; garnished with pickled carrot, mint and peanuts and served with chili-lime fish sauce. The combination of flavours provided for a light yet filling meal. I especially loved the spring roll and peanuts mixed in. I would definitely recommend this dish.
Will, for sure, go back. The food was perfect Really cohesive and not overstated in flavour. Good portions if you're a hungry guy like me. The rear section of the dining room is a little dark, not helping read the tiny menu font but our server helped me choo choo choose some gluten free items. Service started great and the food came out fast enough but they weren't quite ready for the rush that showed up.
Thanks for dinner tonight.
