Tamarind Hill

So good. Amazing fresh flavors. We’ve been twice and all the dishes have been excellent. I see why everyone recommends the laksa but the papaya salad was tangy and tasty, the Nasi gorang brought back great travel memories, and the chili shrimp was a personal favorite.

Delicious Assam Seafood Laksa and Malaysian Curry Laksa tonight. So good on a cold and rainy day. Actually, so good on any day. We are very fortunate to have this restaurant in North Vancouver.

I was stoked that there was the SG Hokkien mee here and despite it looking alittle different, it still tasted like home! - with a touch of sambal:) We ordered so many dishes to share but the ones I highly recommend for SG versions are: Hokkien mee, laksa, beef rendang, string beans w/ eggplant & okrah with sambal, satay & one prawn dish were all good!

I would definitely come back again and try the rest like roti canai, chicken rice & char kway teow!

We ordered the Malaysian Laksa, and it was the best! The noodles were perfect, the broth was amazing. Service was fast and nice. The Laksa could use a little more meat and eggs, but it was enough to make me come back for more.

It's for the first time I tried their food. I ordered Cha Kwee Tiao and it turned out pretty good. I love the taste, almost similar as Indonesian Cha kwee Tiao. The portion was generous.

Unfortunately disappointed Poor quality ingredients- smelly chicken, old bean sprouts, the worst stainless piece in the soup

Laksa good. Roti good. Skewers good. Sauces good. Going back asap once hungry again. Fast service. Super clean.

Charged 18% gratuity with no notice. Was not on menu and was not told when seated. Was simply added at time to pay and was told no need to add tip. No plans to return. Portions too small for price.

Saw a mouse run through the restaurant while dining in. When mentioned to my server they were extremely rude about it. I understand the lower mainland has a bad mouse problem but it’s extremely gross to see mice running around while you’re trying to eat in a restaurant. I don’t believe the kitchen is very sanitary here because the last time I ate in I found hair in my food. With that being said I will never come here again

The best Singapore laksa! I get rid of fish puff, add extra chicken an egg, also the eggplant dish they have it’s so amazing with a side of rice

Excellent Malay food - local snapper in banana leaf was a 10 - Papaya salad light and interesting

I ordered take out from here a couple weeks ago. The portions were ridiculously small for a high price. I called to check that our order was filled correctly. Instead of acknowledging my complaint, the manager made excuse after excuse. I would not recommend this place. The food taste and value is not worth how much they charge you.

We visited Tamarind Hill twice now and enjoyed our meal there both times. The first time we went for dinner and found it to be quite dark and cold inside. The restaurant is small with not too many tables but enough to still get a seat though it's quite close to each other, which we didn't like.

The second time we attended a family birthday party dinner and the seating was again, very tight. They pushed the smaller tables together by the bench against the wall and it was hard to get in and out, especially with a baby car seat.

The food was delicious with a large variety of Malaysian dishes. We were glad to see that there were spicy and non spicy dishes, some more flavourful than others. We ordered all kinds of meat and veggie dishes like laksa, satay, coconut rice, fish etc etc. The food was fresh and hot and everyone enjoyed eating. The AC was turned off and it became quite hot and stuffy especially after eating spicy dishes. The service was excellent and AC was turned on promptly. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and will return again.

Unlikely to return. Food so-so. Suspect had some sort of additive, as we both reaction to have this sedated feeling after foods with mystery ingredients. Very dark interiors even during a bright sunny day. This visit, the middle age Asian server was a bit abrupt in service.

Went there today with party of 6. The foods were too expensive with small portion, and the service was really bad. When we process the payment, the service wasn’t there to process, we ended up dealt with the machine ourselves to make the payment (one of our friends work at the restaurant, so she knows how to use it). Will never come back for sure… very disappointed experience today…

I absolutely love this restaurant and food, but very disappointing to see I paid $22 for this small portion of beef rendang!? I was appalled when I got home. The Okra dish I ordered had 3 small pieces of okra and the rest was all green beans and 5 eggplants pieces and 2-3 shrimp. I paid for a dinner portion and received what I believe is a lunch portion and I am just not pleased for lack of value. I was asked to come pick up what they told me, the additional portion that was supposed to be given in the first place, but it is so inconvenient and far. They should have sent me a delivery. I simply will not order from here anymore.
I get way more value from other restaurants.

Killer Malaysian in town. I loved their Laksa. And their satays. Also if you like flavor, go for the Sambal sauce on the side.

The food was delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is friendly. What more can you ask for? I personally recommend the Satays

Delicate and tremendous flavours, from the fluffy coconut rice and chili prawns to the deep fried plantain with ice cream! Will definitely need to return soon.

It’s the only Malaysian restaurant on North Shore. We usu go there when we crave for Laksa. Food & service are not bad. If you order take out, it’s better to go early & wait, ‘cause we saw they just left the take-out near the entrance.

Really good and authentic style Laksa. My girlfriend got the Singapore style Laksa and it was fantastic.

Definitely looks like a local favorite judging by the amount of people and wait time; not to mention the writeups about them in the local papers.

Doesn't surprise me at all since the food was excellent. The staff was really friendly too.

On Jan 29,2022 I ordered the first time take out from this restaurant. I can say that the food is great, staff a bit confused about the menu and prices and also the prices posted outside the restaurant are different than the prices inside the restaurant. Outside the price was around $13 and inside around $18, the same dish. I ordered lunch, which usually is cheaper than dinner, also smaller size. Unfortunately, you get smaller sizes for higher price.
Was the first time and last ordering from this place.

I was craving for authentic Malaysian food and found this place through Yelp. I ordered the classic Nee goreng which were tasty and reminded on street noodles in India so unexpectedly served a different nostalgic purpose. My husband opted for Char kway Teow and Singaporean shrimp wasn't too excited about the flavour profiles and taste. All in all, an average experience.

Delicious food! I had the indian mee goreng and malaysian chicken curry - takeout. Honestly I had no complaints at all! Definetly recommend this place. However they did give an extremely small portion of rice! I paid for rice separately and they gave 1/2 a cup! A bit of a rip off so I'd make my own rice if I did take out again
