Amarin of Thailand

So good! This might be our new favorite place for Thai. We had the Tom Klong soup with shrimp, and it was very fresh and satisfying. We ordered the Keong Koong (sp?) which was a shrimp coconut curry dish with sweet potato, baby corn, bamboo shoots, and asparagus. It had a spicy kick to it. We also ordered the chicken yellow curry. The portions are very generous, and the dishes are so flavorful. The veggies in both dishes were very fresh and plentiful. Service was friendly, and we didn’t feel at all rushed. Everything hit the spot. Great meal. We will be back!

Reasonable, well-​seasoned portions. I had the beef panang curry. The table order the chicken satay appetizer and the golden tofu triangles. All was delicious.

Food was very good and we got to sit in the center where they have the low tables, it was neat.

Love this place! I work around the corner and it’s always our «go-​to» for lunch. Huge fan of the Pad Thai and the Noodles and Tender Beef. Prices are decent, as is the service. Definitely recommend for a fast, delicious lunch.

After two visits, I’m happy to go back, but I feel like this is a good restaurant, not a great one. The service can be slow, and some of the dishes are better than others. Seasoning is indeed a bit watered down for American tastes.
The inside of the restaurant is very nice, not noisy, and this is one of the few even slightly upscale places in the Newton Corners area for lunch. Lighting and presentation are both very good. One of the two dishes I’ve tried so far was very good, one was only so-​so. It feels relaxed and calm, a great break in the middle of a stressful work day. Prices for lunch are moderate, around $ 8 – 10 for entrees.

Best Thai food in Massachusetts. Pad Thai dish is absolute class. The staff is always accommodating, and the food is delicious.

First time here and I would definitely be back! It’s a little pricey for dinner (around $ 10 – 12?) but lunch is pricing is not bad (around $ 8 – 10). Since I work almost right across the street from this place, it’s so convenient. Almost too convenient!
I ordered the chicken masaman curry $ 8 — comes with chicken, sweet potato, onion, and peanuts. Yum! It was perfectly saucy and I loved that they used sweet potatoes! I tried to tell myself I shouldn’t eat the whole thing… But I couldn’t help but scarf the whole meal down.
My coworkers got the pad Thai, amaranth noodles (they’re green noodles!) and other curries. Everything smelled delicious. I went to pick up the take out of us and from the outside, the place just looks like it’s apart of another business building. But when you enter — it’s like you are transported somewhere else! It’s beautiful inside. They have this center seating area that seem to be decorated so you can have the full Thai experience! I love it. I definitely want to come back to sit there.
Overall, definitely recommend this place! I can’t wait to come back. Now that I’ve tried it. It’s going to be very hard not to have it for lunch all the time… If only they had a super good lunch deal. Then I’d say Amarin for lunch everyday!

I’ve only been here once, the service is good but unfortunately I find the food to be bland. I ordered the pad thai and thought it lacked any flavor.

a party in my mouth! im super happy right now! So glad my girl wanted to eat thai! My meal was a 5 star on a hot scale! Perfect! The black pepper chicken curry loaded w mangos onions and coconut milk was the bomb! love this place!

This restaurant has been around the Boston area longer than I have. Although I have gone there many times over many years, today I was positively surprised again. It truly looks like an American Thai restaurant and may be it is to some extend, but it is noteworthy:
1. The fisherman noodles are authentic albeit slightly moderated in spiciness, but still pleasantly spiced
2. I had NO POST MSG thirst, which means that they the cooking is so good, they don’t need to cheat
3. Every ingredient was fresh and tasty
Sounds generic? It shouldn’t be. The food is just of very high quality and close enough to authentic for me (considering that in my college days I lived a while in Thailand).

The only thing I can say about this place is that it is WHITEWASHED THAI FOOD. I’m sure it’s popular for business lunches and it’s a really nice atmosphere but the food is just. Meh. Kind of tasteless. I also asked for max level spiciness and my pad thai was basically not spicy at all. I had to use half of the entire container of chili on my meal just to give it some flavor.
I mean, I might eat here again considering that it’s very near my office and it’s a nice place to sit down and talk. But the food isn’t very authentic or tasty.

Always liked the place, but last night we went a little late, and service didn’t seem to be one of their priorities. Good food, OK service. Waiter was not friendly

So far so good. The waiter is very nice, so is the bus boy. Happy buzz among the staff. Very helpful with order and super friendly.
I was so grateful to have such a friendly and attentive wait staff and generally good food that I rated 5 stars.
You can always find areas for improvement, of course, for example the rug needed vacuuming, there was debris strewn about. Actually, it probably needed replacement. The fish and tofu was fried too long making it a bit dry. The sticky rice was fun, though I wish it was not served wrapped tightly inside of plastic wrap. The soup had the correct taste — not too sweet. That was a pleasant surprise! Most Thai restaurants really over sweeten there soups. The rest of the food was around 4 stars, the curry, Seaman’s platter. The pad Thai was really very good — 4+. All in all I was made to feel so grateful and satisfied im giving them 5 stars and will come back again.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. We particularly like the Chicken Massaman Curry. It is also a convenient lunch spot to meet when a group includes people coming from downtown as well as Route 128, as it is right off Exit 17 from the Pike, and has a parking garage and there is a metered lot. Restaurant doesn’t feel «huge» but I haven’t had an issue getting in.

When staying at the Crown Plaza in Newton, I find I really don’t want to drive once parked. Traffic and more important insane drivers are well worth avoiding.
I could go on a rant about this topic but no need. Amarin is really awesome.
I’ve eaten here 4 – 5 times now. Coconut soup is sweet and salty and sometimes I add a bit of heat. The Papaya salad with shrimp (extra spice requested) is one of my favorite dishes. I’m sure it isn’t too healthy but I always pretend and eat the entire order which I’m sure is for 2 – 3 people. The curries are not too runny and also not too thick… just like a children’s book — «Just Right». The staff are always polite and friendly, at least based on my visits. Rice does not come with dishes but can be ordered. They have white and brown rice.
I hit this place at least once during my work week visits to the Boston (Newton) area.

I ate at Amarin last night with my wife and a friend. We considered all of the dishes we ordered excellent. Service was quite good and the restaurant was quiet and not busy. I have eaten here a number of times before and always enjoyed it.
One note for vegetarians like myself: Although the menu doesn’t contain many vegetarian entrées, I have found that many of the meat dishes can be made with tofu instead. You just need to ask your server to substitute tofu for the meat that’s listed. They also have brown rice available.
The vegetarian Liang soup was very good. It is not quite as tasty as Tom Yum Goong, but it is in the same category and contained lots of interesting fresh vegetables, straw mushrooms, baby corn and basil.
I ordered the «Beef/​chicken basil» with fried tofu instead of meat. It was excellent. The flavors were rich and complex and the tofu was well integrated into the rest of the dish. I had this with their brown rice, which was very dark and flavorful. My wife ordered the Tofu Spinach Noodles and these were also excellent. Thick spinach fetuccini and vegetables in an intense Thai sauce.
We also had the Fresh Shrimp Rolls as a appetizer even though they were not vegetarian because the server told us that the filling was made in advance. I usually like fresh roles better than fried and the ones we had we quite good and were served with two different sweet dipping sauces. They’re made with fresh rice flour pancakes filled with lettuce, vermicelli, basil and mint as well as shrimp. The shrimp flavor was not too strong but it would be nice if they offered a version made with tofu instead of shrimp.
My friend ordered duck, which I did not try, but he was satisfied with it.
The décor is pleasant and «traditional» Thai, with Thai woodwork, fabrics and sculpture. The beer and wine list is appropriate and reasonably priced.
Overall, I recommend this restaurant as a reliable place for high quality Thai food.

Not really authentic Thai food. Does not have enough spices for the true full flavor for the curry– slightly watery, but good Thai food considering the location and price. The Beef Panang was solid, but I wish there were more vegetables/​sides to go with it. It was just meat.
And they charge separately for rice, which is annoying.
It is a huge restaurant, so there’s always space.

3.5 Stars.
My boyfriend and I LOVE Thai food – it’s our go-​to meal when we decide to go out to eat. We spent a weekend in Boston, and since this was the closest Thai restaurant to our hotel, we decided to try it out.
First off, I dig the décor. There’s a raised section in the middle of the restaurant where you (and a group of people, I’m assuming) can sit barefoot and eat in the «traditional» Eastern way. We didn’t get to sit there, but I wish we could’ve!
The dinner traffic was beginning to pick up so our service was a little slow, but we didn’t mind it.
I ordered the tofu triangles and the Tom Klong soup. The tofu triangles weren’t spectacular, but they were good. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, yummy sauce. A-​OK. But the soup? I loved it! It was a little sour (in a good way!) and had just the right amount of spiciness. It kind of looks like a cream of vegetable soup (which I hate) but it’s just the coconut milk. It’s only a little creamy. But it really hit the spot and I’d probably order it again.
My boyfriend got the chicken Pad See-​Ew. Again, nothing too different from what we’ve had before, but it was good.
Overall, our meal was good. Nothing life-​changing, but we were pleased.

I always order the Pad-​See-​Ew noodles for take-​out. Don’t be fooled just because it says «Ew» in the dish’s name because it is the complete opposite of «Ew.» It is one of my favorite Thai dishes and they make it taste so delicious. It’s a little sweet, savory, and spicy. The portion is pretty big but I think the prices went up recently. The employees are also super nice.

This place is no good. Went here for dinner and they charge $ 12.50 for an entrée but it doesn’t include rice. Little Thai Café and OSHA, both include rice with their meals and charge less.
The food is not flavorful at all and my chicken cashew plate tasted like Fish. Very dangerous thing for a restaurant to do, considering how people can be allergic to fish.
Very dissapointed and will certainly NEVER go back. Total waste of money.
By the way, OSHA reigns Supreme in the Thai Food world. Just so you know.
And there you have it folks… Another real review from yours truly
