What People Are Saying About Amarin

Featured Review

In Short – Tucked away in a strip mall, this neighborhood Thai restaurant is a little lacking in ambience but the expansive menu and friendly service more than make up for the unpretentious décor. Specialties range from Choo-chi duck and Thai barbecue chicken to braised lamb in a curry and wine sauce and lemongrass fish. Many beef and chicken dishes feature savory curry sauces and the menu includes a good selection of noodles and seafood. (Most items on the menu may also be made vegetarian and diners can choose from a spiciness scale of one to 10.) Regulars rave about the appetizers…

Authentic Thai at Amarin Thai

by oldirty at Citysearch

Thai restaurants are a dime a dozen these days but Amarin definitely shines above them with an extensive menu of authentic thai delicacies and service that can't be beat. One of the things my wife and I enjoy the most about Amarin is the neighborhood feel the restaurant has. Whenever we go there, you can tell that most of the people there are the folks from the area that enjoy the food Amarin has to offer. Definitely try the green curry with tofu!

  • Pros: consistantly good food, good portions, excellent service
  • Cons: parking, gets busy on the weekends
