Our favorite takeout restaurant. We highly recommended the Penang curry.

Food was ready 1 hour after it was promised, 1.5 hours after ordering. I get it, you're understaffed, but at least stop taking new orders, or provide a realistic time frame for pick up.

I hate leaving this feedback because generally i love you guys - but this is the second time in a row i have gotten papaya salad that was aged beyond the point of selling and I feel a little ripped off :( When it's fresh it's so delicious but no one likes biting in a soured salad.

There were no cashews in my cashew chicken. You said you’d call me back but you never did. Unprofessional service

I said no mushrooms in my stir fry and there were mushrooms again. This has happened before. I hate mushrooms. Also you don’t give enough peanut sauce with the gyoza

You’ve been a little chintzy with the gyoza ginger sauce.

everything was excellent, even though it did take quite awhile to get to us, except the sukiyaki (which was still pretty good) but the flavor of celery was too dominant.

I know these are difficult times and I appreciate everything you're doing for protecting everyone from Covid. Please think about maybe putting a speaker outside so u can call people in when their food is ready.

I’ve gotten food from here many times and every time I go back the food just isn’t as good. Food tastes different every time I go and I get the same things.

Always kind and friendly, I really appreciate them. I have never had a problem with my order, which is rare for restaurants in ithaca. Thank you for being consistently great! One of my fav spots.

I didn't get the soda with the order, I should have checked when picking up

Food is delicious but portion of spicy eggplant dish was extremely little. It filled ~ 25% of the container. The 8 cubes of tofu made up most of the dish. It was more like a $5 app than a $12 entree.

The food was good. BUT The wait was much longer than expected. I waited about 40 minutes. I was missing the white rice.

Unless you're willing to download the app you will need to go to their website to eventually get an estimated time of arrival. No updates via email or text. Food was 15 minutes later than the estimate; hour and 15 minutes on a Wednesday. Hainan chicken tasted like boil chicken with white rice. No flavor whatsoever and very dry, except the small cup of sweetened liquid on the side. Spring rolls Thai spicy noodles were good.

I placed an order at 5pm for a 6pm delivery. The food arrived at 7pm and I only got to eat for 10 minutes before having to catch a bus... I was sad that I was unable to enjoy my usual favorites from Tamarind this time around. Tamarind is the only place I'll ever get Thai, but I hope this does not happen frequently.

I love Tamarind. I have enjoyed them for many years. We ordered the pineapple fried rice and I wanted NO protein on it, which is what I ordered. When it was delivered there was chicken and shrimp. I'm allergic to shrimp so the order had to be sent back. They brought back the right order, thankfully. Everything was delicious!

I was unable to order my desired item. When ordering 'Thai Spicy Noodles" from Tamarind Restaurant, the web page would not let me order that item without selecting a side dish. But there were no side dishes listed to select from. After choosing an alternate item, the food was delivered on time and was good.
