We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Tamarind! The food was fresh and wonderful, with incredible flavors and perfect heat! The service was friendly, attentive and efficient. Will definitely be back, and often!

If you want something different & yummy this is the place! I have been here many times, most recently last week with a friend. My friend had ordered a noodle dish. She let me taste & it was good. I usually get the dish with ginger & some spice, I like it a little hot! :) I have also had... More

I just moved to Asheville and am learning about the excellent restaurants in the area. Tarmarind is one of them. It's a Thai restaurant with excellent Sushi on the side! The different flavors and complexity of the food is perfect. The atmosphere is lovely and simple. I plan to be back often.

It is a great locally owned restaurant! They give you enough food for at least two meals and I highly recommend the salad with ginger dressing (made in house) and the dressing goes amazing with the noodles as well.

We love Tamarind. They always have great food and great service. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is comfortable. We don't live close anymore, so we don't get to eat near as often as I prefer. I highly recommend this restaurant if you love Thai food or want to try it for the first time. My favorite dish is...

We have been here numerous times and it's always great. We've had all sorts of food here: curry, pad Thai noodles, sushi, basil fried rice, spring rolls, I can't even remember everything we've eaten, but the food is always good. We've never had a bad dish. I love that the food is consistent, because I'm never worried that I'm going... More

I'm not much of a Thai fan, nor do I like spicy foods, but Tamarind Thai was great. I went there on a business lunch while visiting the area. The tilapia special was excellent, and the chili sauce was right on. They made sure to ask everyone how spicy they wanted their food and they got mine just right. I'd... More

For a hungry tourist looking for Thai food, it is tough to locate. The restaurant is "hidden" in a small group of retail stores just between I-26 and a tremendous open type mall with Lowe's at one end and Target, plus a bunch of upscale retail stores. It is on what is locally called Airport Road. Technically the address is... More

We found this gem traveling home by using trip advisor. The food was excellent. Service was was quick and helpful. Portions were reasonable enough for sharing. All in it was a great find for weary travelers ready for the home stretch.

Great food, but a little on the pricey side. We had the Pad Thai Chicken and the Pad Thai Shrimp. They will make it as spicy as you ask.
