Tamarind Asian Grill and Sushi Bar

Named for the tree that gives Thai food its unique flavor, Tamarind serves some of the freshest and most interesting Thai fare you're likely to find in these parts. From a sweet/sour green papaya salad to grilled quail eggs yakitori-style to Tamarind's scrumptious "Thai fries" made from boniato strips dipped in coconut batter and deep fried - this big menu offers enough to keep even the most jaded Pan-Asian foodie from getting bored. A lineup of excellent sushi, some of it wrapped in the sheerest rice paper to satisfy the low-glycemic crowd, comes courtesy of the chefs at the sushi bar in the smaller of two soothingly decorated rooms. For dessert, don't miss the sweet, sticky rice puddings.
