"Previously overlooked due to an unusual location in Calgary’s downtown, this now-fully vegan Southeast Asian restaurant is getting more attention since relocating to the Beltline in 2020. While the name proclaims Vietnamese food, the restaurant also leans into neighboring food cultures, offering up tom yum, vegan pad thai, and laksa. It also makes some of the city’s tastiest tofu in char siu marinade. [$-$$]" - Dan Clapson

The food here is absolutely delicious and one of my favourites in Calgary. The veggies and herbs used are fresh and make for some flavourful dishes. The tofu and mock meats are some of the best I’ve ever had. The tom yum soup is a must try. Other favourites are the five spice ramen, sizzling sticky rice, and tofu vermicelli.

BEST vegan place in town ever. I highly recommend it! Even something as simple as a bowl of brown rice is cooked to perfection. Everything is properly seasoned, healthy, and freshly prepared. Yes, it's a little slower than your regular Vietnamese restaurant, but it's worth the wait.

Walked in not knowing it was a vegan restaurant and wow it was great. The food was delicious and better than many meat vietnamese dishes I've had elsewhere. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Great value for money and large portions.

A great vegan restaurant in Calgary! Delicious vegan pho and rice noodle bowls with tofu made in-house. Would highly recommend, especially their mixed bowls! Thank you Alex for explaining how the tofu is made in-house. It was great to learn about the whole process which takes days to make and they take great pride in their tofu! It clearly shows and tastes amazing!!

An amazing vegan restaurant. I highly recommend it! My friend and I got the vegan pad Thai and a vermicelli bowl. Everything is properly seasoned, healthy, and freshly prepared. The pad Thai was amazing, it was very flavourful. Yes, it's a little slower than your regular Vietnamese restaurant, but it's worth the wait.

It's a hidden gem! 100% VEGAN. No MSG! This is my favourite Vegan restaurant! House special Pho is the best! They have a meditation space offering Buddhas in the middle of the dinning room, which makes the atmosphere so calm, relax and peaceful!

TAMARIND IS DEFINITELY ONE MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANTS! Me and my parents come here like almost every week for 3 and a half years, we love it here! I’ve been vegetarian for 5 years, and my parents aren’t. But we all love the food here! I’d definitely recommend it to others! :)
