    There are so many wonderful places to dine at along Castro Street in Mt.View...and Amarin Thai Cuisine rates among the best! Each dish we tasted was so flavourful and well prepared.The Chicken Satay was AMAZING!!! Really reasonable prices as well!

    Cynthia W.

    Love the food here but it is on the pricy side. The shop is inside the downtown. I really liked the pork neck! Will go back just for that. There are seatings outside too. When we were there, it seemed like there were only 2 servers. Was a bit difficult to get their attention as the shop got busier. Overall exp was good

    Very tasty dishes!! The service is great! Only bad thing is it's cramped. But I now know why there's a line most of the time we pass by this place!

    Tiger steak

    Every time we go here always quick service between certain times but it's always good from fresh roti and cucumber salad while we wait for the main course so good . Come by

    left dish Panang curry w chicken and right is catfish, of course with coconut rice. (Tom yum in my belly)
    Johnny S.

    My go to restaurant in Castro had been Amarin Thai (the old location) and this was the first time we tried out this new version (and the first time I posted with a photo...sorry it was a candid novice yelper POV image of a half eaten meal...disgusting, maybe, but at least it was honest). My thoughts it was pretty good food, chill vibes, and two entrees were enough to satisfy two hungry gluttons.

    papaya salad laos style
    Miliza T.

    gets busy for good reason! ive eaten here and ordered online for pickup. still very good customer service but i opt to order for pickup to avoid the crowd. i recommend any of the curries, ha mok fish, and spicy crispy catfish! all very flavorful! dont forget the the side of rice cause it none of the entrees come with it. the pad thai was lackluster for me, ive had better elsewhere.

    Green curry, just average
    Joyce T.

    Food is mediocre and staffs are not friendly. First time here asked for food recommendation, she's so impatient and rushed us to order food immediately. She recommended the mussaman curry, it's so sweet, not spicy and thick gravy, doesn't have the curry kick. The roti was delicious but the peanut sauce was not a good match. She didn't even asked us if we were allergic to peanut. Also there's another option for the roti dipping sauce which is the curry sauce. Green curry was just okay, mango salad with fried tofu was the only one we liked. She didn't recommend that, we decided to try it. Not going back for sure.

    Ground Pork Larb
    Karl G.

    Checked out the second Amarin location on Castro street for the first time! Not sure why the original location was closed, but we were still glad to get our Thai food fix in. Yellow Curry -- nice coconut flavors coming through, a bit too many potatoes would've preferred more chicken Pad Kee Mao -- classic dish done well, nice balance of sweet & umami flavors Ground Pork Larb -- perfectly seasoned ground pork mixed with cilantro & mint, tasted very healthy Overall, we were all pleased with Amarin 2.0! Flavors were authentic and portions were large. Service was fast and we were seated right away. There were a few other parties inside on a weekday evening. Their second location is a bit smaller than their original, nevertheless the ambience was pleasant and homey. Portions were decently sized and reasonably priced. Would recommend parking at one of the Castro parking structures nearby.

    pad see ew
    Anu P.

    3.5 Stars which Im rounding up to 4 because they're just scaling up in this new location. I tried the pad see ew and panang curry in extra spicy. I don't think they were spicy and they only had chili garlic sauce as opposed to chili oil or chili flakes. On top of that I think the pad see ew was a bit on the oilier side but neither of these are a big deal I just don't think the food was amazing. The portions were also on the slightly smaller side. Service was really nice though so bumping them up for that! Ambiance was like a regular thai place.

    Pineapple Fried Rice w/ Tofu
    Vijay Y.

    Good food and seating area (indoor and outdoor). The service is OK and the portion sizes are good.

    Michelle W.

    High quality food with very comfortable outdoor seatings! It's very authentic Thai food and I especially like the Massaman curry with chicken thighs. I can't eat very spicy food and the spice level for this curry is perfect for me. Tons of chicken. The pad see ew is also highly recommended. The pork neck is mediocre, on the drier side even with the sauce. Price is definitely on the higher side given that it's in Mountain View downtown. One serving of jasmine rice is $2.99. The service is average only.

    Crying tiger, pad thai, and papaya salad
    Kat Z.

    Food was super yummy and well priced! If you're looking for good flavors while not trying to break the bank, check our Amarin. The restaurant is simple, and the servers allow you to customize the spice level of your dish. The only comment is that the green beans are basically raw in the crying tiger veggie mix & papaya salad, which we didn't like.

    Samosas  Chicken Satay
    Marge C.

    Glad they have this Amarin Thai Cuisine extension at Downtown Mountain View. They offer most of the food from the main restaurant, plus more. And set up is more updated. I enjoy the satay chicken and samosas here. Been ordering them every time we go here. We tried a couple of plates too, tofu and baked chicken at separate occasions and they both are good. The plates were big servings and are very filling. The place is usually not crowded even during lunch hour, so service is fast and easy to get a table.

They were pretty one-note in flavor and felt underwhelming. The crab fried rice and Panang braised beef were both enjoyable, but neither dish was particularly memorable or something I'd go out of my way to order again. The braised beef itself was tender, but it was served in large chunks that didn't make for the most appetizing presentation. The Thai iced tea was also noticeably sweeter than what I'm used to, which may work for some people but wasn't my preference. One thing that stood out for the wrong reason was the pacing of the meal. Our crab fried rice arrived first, followed by the curry puffs, and then the Panang beef came out last. The timing felt disjointed, especially since you'd expect the appetizers to arrive before the entrées. The biggest issue, though, is the value. The prices are on the higher end for Thai food, and when the overall experience is just average, it's hard to justify the cost. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. Overall, it was an okay meal, but with so many great Thai restaurants around, I don't see myself coming back.

We ordered: papaya salad, pad see ew with beef, yellow curry with chicken, and crab fried rice. Papaya Salad - Meh. 4/10. Papaya slices felt so long and difficult to eat, especially since they don't provide chopsticks. The serving size also felt so small for the price they charged. Flavor was just ok, I have had better for the price and serving size. Wouldn't get again unfortunately. Pad See Ew with Beef - 7/10. arguably probably the best dish out of the 4 we got that night. Albeit I wish the beef were more slices than cubes, flavor was still good and tasty! Brocolli slices were cooked perfectly and had a solid crunch to it. Crab Fried Rice - 6.5/10 - just ok. Nothing too memorable but a good carb option to have. Yellow Curry - 4/10 Meh as well. was very diluted in my opinion and didn't have much of a strong flavor to it. Overall decent restaurant with good service and options for a casual dinner but probably would go for their noodle options only next time!

With the onslaught of…read moreexceptional restaurants in the area, the issues this place has are even more glaring; this is not the Castro of old where you can just phone it in. Let's start with the food - it's good not great. Thai food is generally known to be affordable and good value. This spot definitely isn't going to be saving you any money to offset less than stellar quality. If there were no other Thai options, it may be ok, but the Bay isn't lacking in quality Thai food. Most dishes are bland and dare I say pretty Americanized. Sadly, the food is the best part. The service is really and I mean really bad. Even when it's empty, they are still slow and don't seem to care at all. Complete antithesis of what you may be used at Thai restaurants. The atmosphere is mid. The place hasn't really been updated much over the years and it's starting to show its age. Overall, it feels like Amarin is stuck in the past and everything has just come at them fast. What may have been able to pass muster a few years back when Castro was a sleepy street in a quiet and boring suburb is no longer good enough.

    We've been coming to Chuan Chim Thai Cuisine for several years now, for both lunch and dinner, on…read moreweekdays and weekends. The food has consistently been a level above most Thai restaurants we've tried throughout the Bay Area--and honestly, it's the reason we've been willing to make the drive to come here. The service has also always been very efficient, although I wouldn't necessarily describe it as particularly warm or friendly. Unfortunately, after several recent visits with different friends, we've noticed a recurring pattern with the service that has become difficult to overlook. For some context, today's group happened to include three people with years of experience working in high-end restaurants. We obviously didn't mention that to the staff, but it gave us a particular perspective on some very basic principles of hospitality. We completely understand that a restaurant may have a policy of not seating a party until everyone has arrived. That is perfectly reasonable when the restaurant is busy and tables are in demand. However, when the restaurant is nearly empty, with only one or two tables occupied, it seems unnecessarily rigid to make the first person in a three- or four-person party stand at the entrance and wait for the others to arrive. There's a much better hospitality opportunity here: seat the guest who has arrived, offer them a drink or perhaps an appetizer, and let them get comfortable while they wait. It creates a better guest experience and, not incidentally, gives the restaurant an opportunity to increase the check and potentially the gratuity. Instead, the guest is simply left standing at the door waiting. When the dining room is essentially empty, this comes across as unnecessarily unwelcoming. Another recurring issue is the lack of awareness of the table. Once we're seated and clearly engaged in conversation, there's no need to approach the table every few minutes asking if we're ready to order. Good service should be attentive, but it should also involve reading the room and recognizing when guests are simply enjoying their conversation and need a little more time. The same applies to clearing plates. We absolutely appreciate an efficient dining room and like having the table kept clean. But there have been several occasions recently when staff have attempted to remove a plate or bowl while there is still food remaining--even if it's just a small amount or a single piece of greens. There's a difference between keeping a table tidy and rushing guests through their meal. A little more awareness of whether someone is actually finished would make a significant difference. What makes this particularly disappointing is that these aren't isolated incidents. We've experienced the same types of service issues repeatedly over our last several visits, with different groups of friends. And that's a shame, because the food really is excellent. We've continued coming back despite the distance specifically because we think the food is that good. But at some point, excellent food isn't enough to overcome a consistently poor hospitality experience. This would have easily been a five-star review based on the food alone. Unfortunately, the recurring service issues have changed our overall experience enough that we're giving Chuan Chim Thai Cuisine three stars. It's unfortunate that after enjoying this restaurant for so many years, we've reached the point where we'll likely stop coming--not because of the food, but because of the service. We sincerely hope the restaurant takes this feedback to heart. The food deserves better hospitality, and a few relatively simple changes in how the staff reads and responds to the guests could make a tremendous difference.

Owned by a winner of a reality cooking competition, it makes sense why it is priced at a premium, and with that follows pleasantly attentive service, innovative dishes, and comfy seating. I found the food to be generally pleasant, and the only thing that is unpleasant is their proximity to the train station that interrupts conversation on an intervalized basis. Old Siam - I see the vision of this luxury take on an old fashioned, which is flavorally accurate. I think the garnish is a bit too simple beyond the block ice to properly convey that look. Roti Mataba - Intriguing dish as I've never seen roti used to encapsulate before, but its smart as it creates a flaky exterior that pairs incredibly well with the curry sauce. Pad See Ew - Large portion of a classic dish that is served on the lighter side but still tasty. I would clean up on the presentation though. Mango Sticky Rice - Beautiful arrangement of mango sticky rice that shows great knife skills of the mango. You can see the heart shape starting to form of the sticky rice as well, which is beautiful.
