Service is always good! Atmosphere is wonderful! But the icing on the cake is the Amarin Crater- pineapple fried rice served in an actual pineapple.- Jim Tompkins-MacLaineSeptember 11, 2011I love both the Four Seasons AND the Mambo Mambo Chicken. The Love Boat is a great appetizer. And the soups are great. Also the fresh spring rolls are wonderful.
- Beth WitteApril 22, 2013Open Late! They have a REAL Vegetarian menu too without the fish sauce, oyster sauce, or egg! Awesome drunken noodles with mock duck here
Michael TMay 18, 2012Try the Taro Pearls in Coconut Cream - This was creamy but not heavy the sesame seeds added texture. subtle earthy character that was very appealing. Delicious.
Rebecca StarkJuly 7, 2017Vegetarian curry puffs. Two flaky cloud like morsels stuffed to perfection with smooth beany goodness.
Really great Thai food and just up the street from my house! Love it!- Michael TMay 18, 2012Try the Potak Soup - Really large pieces of Squid. The broth savory and tart from lemongrass. Very satisfying starter.
Gary ComeauxJune 4, 2012Spicy noodles are very good. Hint...when they ask what level of spice.....I tried #4....it had a hell of a kick...just sayin!- Michael TMay 18, 2012Try the Tropical Paradise - Salad w/Shrimp,crisp fresh fruit and palm sugar viniagarette. Very refreshing summer salad
lyza kingMarch 11, 2018The crispy duck curry was good. The green curry and tamarind fish were not spicy enough to bring out the best flavor. The service was terrible, very disappointing.
Try everything at least one if not twice at this place. Been eating Amarin for 5yrs now and has always been consistently yummy.
Amarin is now open late night on Wed, Thurs, and Sun from 10pm-2am; Fri and Sat from 11pm-3am.
The FeastJune 14, 2011Sake-marinated shrimp and duck bathed in feisty choo-chi sauce are among the refreshing departures from everyone else’s usual curry dishes.
2 4 $10 weekday lunch special is rad. So is the Basil Eggplant with Tofu.
Some of the best Thai in town, great atmosphere and their lunch special is crazy cheap!
open til 2am every night except mon/tue. open til 3am fri & sat.
Joe MillerFebruary 26, 2012Thai Wraps are a yummy & healthy starter The Tofu has good flavor and texture.- Jimmy LeclairDecember 10, 2011Amarin Crater, amazing! Pineapple, shrimp, chicken, jasmine rice all in a pineapple shell!! YUM!
David KujawaApril 23, 2010Get their CPK Volcano. It's chicken and spinach in a green curry, but they put it in tin-foil shaped like a chicken, and then light it on fire! So delicious!
the cha cha cha is amazing. simply the best Thai ever.

The golden mountain is a delicious pork nuke that'll floor you for 16-24hrs
Kimberly LepreFebruary 24, 2010All of the dishes are amazing, but the Art Salad is particularly yummy, definitely worth trying.
One of my favorite Thai restaurants, the food is delicious
Zachary SimonNovember 10, 2013The overhead muzak is loud and terrible enough to distract from an otherwise great place.
Darren TunstallDecember 28, 2011Get the kong slong shrimp. Great stuff! ~http://www.darrentunstall.com
Dru MacasiebOctober 27, 2010The four seasons is not that great. I recommend the mambo chicken and the pineapple fried rice.
aFAview PfahlerFebruary 28, 2010The only two thing can't get enough of are "Tofu Tod" and "Fried Spring Rolls" w peanut sauce.
