Tamarine Restaurant & Gallery

Tamarine Restaurant & Gallery sits on University Avenue in the heart of Palo Alto, just steps from Stanford University and the bustling downtown tech corridor. The sleek interior blends dark wood paneling, contemporary lighting and curated Vietnamese artwork, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere for both business lunches and relaxed dinners. Executive chefs craft modern Vietnamese fusion dishes such as shrimp cupcakes (Bánh khọt), caramelized pork belly pho, fresh spring rolls with lemongrass‑infused dipping sauce, and a spicy beef noodle bowl that showcase the finest locally sourced ingredients. Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, while dinner runs Sunday to Thursday 5:00 pm‑9:00 pm and Friday‑Saturday until 9:30 pm. The bar offers a daily happy‑hour from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm featuring specially priced cocktails, Vietnamese-inspired mocktails and small plates like crispy tofu bites. Guests may bring their own wine for a $40 corkage fee, limited to two bottles per visit. Tamarine also provides private dining rooms for celebrations, corporate events and catering services, with customizable menus and attentive service. Gift cards are available online for friends and family. The restaurant accepts online orders for pickup and delivery, and maintains an active presence on Instagram and Facebook showcasing seasonal specials and behind‑the‑scenes kitchen moments. Whether you seek a quick lunch, a romantic dinner, or a venue for a private gathering, Tamarine delivers a memorable modern Vietnamese experience rooted in Palo Alto’s vibrant community.
