Nice decor with lots of thai art, some in museum like display cases. Food is good and generous. I really wish they would put back the taro dessert, i have never tried. It's conveniently next to a municipal lot that stops charging at 6pm.

Amarin offers a light, bright style of Thai cooking, quite different from the creamy sauces at most area Thai restaurants. This style calls for very fresh protein, vegetables and herbs, as the sauce cannot cover up ingredients that are less than perfect. The curries are...Read More

Really liked the food! We ordered mostly appetizers (golden sacks, edamame, spring rolls, wonton soup) and dessert, with one entrée. The ambience was warm, and the service was good—though our server seemed a bit unenthusiastic but followed through on everything with perfection.

Old fashioned Thai restaurant that's perfect for a family or friends lunch, especially outside busy hours. Impeccable and unobtrusive service, beautiful and nostalgic interior. Oh and the food is always fresh, healthy and tasty.

This is our go-to local Thai spot. We’re always able to get a table, even on a Saturday night, and while it’s not fancy it’s cozy and a bit of an upgrade from the other great Thai places in the area, which tend to...Read More
