This is the best Thai food in the area. The ingredients are fresh, well-prepared, and tasty. I live right in Newton Center and won't even eat at either of the two Thai places a block from my house because they do not compare in quality. We've gotten many dishes, including those made with tofu, shrimp and chicken. The curry sauces are all great, the vegetables are great, not overcooked at all. Flavors and styles of preparation are distinctive. Highly recommend it! They also deliver, and right on time! read more

Thai Amarin is my favorite Thai spot, hands down. There's not a bad dish on the menu...but I love the spicy pad thai and the black pepper curry. Try the beef Saigon appetizer, too! Their delivery is friendly and fast, too. I do wish they'd write on the menu that rice doesn't come with curry...I have ordered hundreds of curries from Thai Amarin and still forget sometimes. read more

Uber Eats Review! I get it your competing and want to keep up with "fast food" However, please cook the food...i don't mind actually waiting a full 20mins. Food arrived within 15min of ordering I ordered the "spicey country shrimp & beef noodles" Veggies were not cooked, hard & tons of mushrooms with 4 shrimp, C'mon now! The spicey was there but sauce was not evenly distributed. Beef dish was decent, my BF ate Ofcourse Very accommodating to add additional items to order as the Uber Eats menu was not fully posted. Can't wait to dine in read more

Very classy lunch spot in Newton! The food was absolutely delicious and priced Wolverhampton reasonably. Our server was great too! Will be returning soon. read more

Food is not out of this world, but it is good. Oddly, it's a little more expensive than similar places in Boston. I hace never eaten in the restaurant, only take out. From my brief experience in the place, I would say it is decent atmosphere. Very 80s/early 90s for the motif. I'd say it is a good "casual date night" spot to go, but wouldn't consider it fancy, or a "wow!" First impression. Food is worth a try, though. I agree with other reviews, it isn't out if this world, but it satisfies the craving. The staff are usually very kind, too. read more

BE AWARE - prices are not as advertised! We ordered based off their website prices and it was close to $30 more expensive than advertised. The prices on our receipt weren't outrageous, but when your site says pad thai is $8.40 online and you charge us $14....we got problems. The food was middle of the road- would fulfill a thai craving but wouldn't cause you to rush back. The beef kabob appetizer had a really great sauce, but the beef salad lacked any. Pick up service is very slow so be aware when you place your order! read more

Coming here infrequently over last 30 years, having moved elsewhere, we once again visited for another satisfying Thai dinner! So nice to know this venue has persisted and the food quality is still consistent. read more

I've been coming here regularly for a few months. Everyone that works here is great but Nicky usually takes care of me and she is fantastic. I've been in the industry for about 10 years so I really appreciate and notice when people are excellent. She is always prompt, courteous, professional, has a great memory and she's detail oriented. I'm always taken care of quickly and the food is also great. Thank you for being a wonderful lunch spot for my breaks at work, my co-workers also enjoy getting take out. read more

Food here is amazing I will travel to Ma and make sure I can go at least once before heading out of New England

We have come to Amarin for both dine in and and take out food for about 10 years. This used to be our go-to restaurant given that their dishes are very tasty and it was a quick and easy spot to grab a sit down bite to eat, or bring it home. My favorite dishes are the salmon choo-chee and the pad see ew with chicken. The tofu spinach noodles are also excellent, coming from someone who does not enjoy tofu much. I would also recommend the chicken satay. As their food is delicious, we have gradually reduced the number of times we come here because for years they have been cutting down their portions. This passed week we got take out and the salmon was one of the skimpiest pieces I had ever seen; I felt as if I had been robbed. As it was still absolutely delicious, I felt very upset about the portion I was provided. This was our first time back in over a year, and I don't know when we will be back again. I will say that if u are not a hungry person and don't mind smaller portions, this is an amazing and tasty restaurant read more

We've been fans of this restaurant for 30 years! In the past, it was consistently delicious, and I hadn't realized it was sold not long ago. We haven't been for about eight months, so I hope it's still as good as always. I do miss the BBQ chicken they had on the menu many years ago. For my money, they serve the best pad Thai I've had anywhere. Complex enough to be yummy, not too sweet like other Thai places we've tried. All of the curries are wonderful, and the Tom Yum soup is a winner. It's always been our favorite Thai restaurant and we'll have to go try it again soon to see if it's still number one. read more

I've gotten take-out from Thai Amarin probably 30+ times, and it's great - would highly recommend the fresh rolls with shrimp, jade noodles, spicy pad Thai, tofu bok choy, and any of the curries. Great ambiance too - always feel very welcome here. The owner is incredibly friendly, and the dine-in service is some of the best I've had in Boston. read more

We go here once very two months or so and each time we're done eating we always say how good it is and how we should come here more often. The place is never crowded so even on a Saturday night you don't need to make reservations or worry about waiting for a table. Also they are very knowledgeable and accommodating of gluten free diets even though they don't have a specific GF menu. Ever since we started going there my wife orders the same exact thing - Shrimp Himaparn (GF). I used to get this as well because the honey garlic sauce is so good. I've since moved on to the Pacific Chicken which is my new favorite with pine nuts, cranberries, spinach, and a delicious broth. The service is good with people always running around trying to fill up your water glass. Our waitress this evening was surprisingly inattentive, but the food comes out so quick you don't even really notice. read more

Awesome everything - provided you are one that is genetically predisposed to liking cilantro vs. soap flavor. Hot in Sour soup with shrimp THAT actually had the TAILS CUT OFF finally! w/cilantro Seamed chicken dumplings with thick spicy sauce and crunchy peanut topping w/cilantro seemed healthy and was multi-texturally delicious Wild Boar Spicy Basil w/cilantro - super spicy but amazing flavor that as my sister said "keeps you coming back for more" even after you are full. Finally - the Pad Thai with shrimp, chunchies, ....oh and cilantro. The staple of a good Thai restaurant is its namesake dish and here they do not disappoint. Nice and rich good texture and fresh shrimp Everything was so good I mixed the few leftovers we had together and ate them for dinner and breakfast the following day - and it was still amazing! I will be back next time I'm around read more

You know, I really like this place. It's got some mixed reviews, but so far, in my two experiences here, it's involved some serious Thai food. The first we ordered take out for the office, and it balanced out to be the same (or a little less) than it would be to order pizza for lunch, which is very reasonable. A lunch entree is about $7, on average. I've sampled the pad thai, green curry, beef with broccoli, a vegetarian dish with tofu (can't remember the name) and a lemon grass chicken dish and all were tasty and our office was happy. The second time I dined in for lunch last week with my mom in law, and it was also good-we ordered a yellow chicken curry and an order of pad thai, and again, consistently tasty. All the food was flavorful, the pad thai was perfectly peanut-y, and the service was quick and efficient. And again, lunch for two people is around $14. The atmosphere is pretty standard, but they do have cute on the floor seating with cushions and low tables. I'll definitely be back again when I want some Thai take out, and I hear the soups are good from my co-workers.....mmmm, spicy soups! read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place because it's local and the reviews were relatively positive. The Tom Yum soup is delicious, I wish it came in a bigger size. The Golden Triangles were a little soggy and the peanut sauce with it was pretty tasteless. The Spicy Chicken Pad Thai was really good until I realized the bits of egg had TONS of shells in them, so I threw that away. Overall, it was a subpar experience. It's not that hard to make sure there aren't egg shells in the food you're serving, but they managed to ruin the whole dish. I doubt I'll be back; no wonder it's always dead inside when I pass it read more

This place was delicious! The inside is lovely and the atmosphere was inviting. The yellow curry was absolutely delicious and the staff were attentive and friendly. read more

finally getting around to reviewing this place. this is probably the best Thai I have ever had. Yes, I only went once and I only got 1 thing but that was over a month ago and I am still craving it. You must get the Noodles and Tender Beef (Soft rice noodles sauted with sliced beef sirloin, eggs, Soy sauce, bean sprouts and broccoli) - yes this sounds heavy but I damn near licked the whole plate, it was that good. I also got a side order of the cucumber salad which was nice and tart. mmmmm, takes me back to Bangkok. I def see why it's rated as the Best Thai in Boston. good looks on the hotel staff recommending it read more

This is a great Thai restaurant... one of the best around the Boston area. It's real food, not over greasy or oily and very well prepared. The service is impeccable and they even have authentic tables with traditional on your knees or cushion seating in the middle of their big room which is very nice for parties. The food itself is very tasty and the menu they offer is very well designed... The ingredients are very fresh and the portions are pretty big and very nicely plated. I've been there many times now and have always, always enjoyed my meals there! The only thing keeping me from a 5 star review is the prices that a tad higher than what you would want to ideally pay for Thai but then again it's in Newton... But yeah... I even drive from Cambridge to get some food there so it's definitely worth it! read more

Food was average and certainly not real Thai! Service was good so was the atmosphere. I would give 4 stars to the service and 3 to the restaurant's atmosphere but 1 star to the food! Adding some coconut milk and peanut sauce to saute vegetable and meat does not make Thai food. There is so much more to it that was missed here. I went to this place based on so many positive reviews! Has anybody have ever had real Thai food ever? It's far, but if you are craving authentic and tasty Thai food, it might worth it for you to drive 9 hours to Toronto. There are tens of excellent Thai restaurants up there, Spring Rolls, Salad King and Bangkok Garden are to name a few! read more

Had Drunken Noodles (Chicken) and Thai Iced Coffee - asked for noodles to be medium spicy and thankfully I did lol. It was spicy! But soooo tasty. Definitely recommend this place. Thai iced coffee was okay. The table behind me ordered Thai Iced Tea and it looked really good. Next time will try that. read more

Hidden Gem alert. I can't tell you how many times I've driven by Amarin of Thailand and never noticed it was there. This past Friday night, We had a special deal from gilt city where two people could have an 2 apps,2 entrées, and 2 desserts AND 2 Thai iced teas all for 35 bucks. I don't know about you, but it's really hard to find a sit down dinner for that price. Sure, I was a little hesitant, as most things in life that are too good to be true, usually are not. Let me tell you when we walked up and saw how packed this place was, I knew we were in for a fantastic meal. We stated off with an order of chicken satay and an order of the veggie spring rolls. The satay had 6 huge pieces of seasoned chicken on a stick with some tasty peanut sauce on the side. I was almost too ful from the satay to enjoy my beef Masaman curry. As soon as the curry and brown rice left the kitchen, the aromatic flavors started wafting towards me. With big chucks of sweet potato, carrot, onion and other veggies all coated with a beautiful curry sauce delivery a punch of flavor. The lady had the veggies spring rolls which seemed standard to every other pan Asian restaurant. But her tufu noodle dish packed some serious flavor. The tofu was seasoned well and the noodles were cooked perfectly. By the time the coconut ice cream and the mango sorbet made it to the table but of us were ready to throw in the towel. With a moderately priced menu and flavor packed thai food, I can surely see myself giving this place a lot of the business in the upcoming months. read more

Best thai food in Newton. If you are in the mood for Thai food, this is a must!! Nothing bad on the menu!

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. read more

Finally. Good Thai close to home. Since moving to the Belmont/Watertown area, I have been trying to find a good local Thai place. I've been to the usual suspects and was not impressed by either the food or the service. Last night I was having a small birthday celebration and after agonizing over what kind of food to get, and decided to give this place a go. That way, I could order a bunch of dishes, set them up as a buffet, and get to try them all. I was not disappointed in any of the items and I can't wait to have the little bit of leftovers for lunch today. We got: Pad Thai, Pacific Chicken, Beef Macadamia, Keong Koong, Veggie Currie, Black Pepper Chicken, and Hot Country Shrimp. This is definitely going to become one of my go-tos on my takeout circuit. read more

I can't get enough of this place. So glad it's only a few blocks away! Perfect lunch or dinner.

This is just okay. I was wow'd by the food but I think it's b/c I've had better Thai food in LA. read more

Thai Amarin - Thai Near Me - Newton Corner, Massachusetts

See all

This has solid consistency but not mind blowing quality. It's extremely fast though and every time. If the food were a bit higher quality then I'd give it a 5. read more

This place is no good. Went here for dinner and they charge $12.50 for an entree but it doesn't include rice. Little Thai Cafe 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 read more

Amarin in Newton Corner offers very consistent Thai cuisine. The food is good every time I have been there. The todman is thick and flavorful and does not have an aftertaste. The pacific chicken is a unique dish that features dried cranberries and pine nuts mixed with mushrooms and chicken that is exactly what the ingredients are. The food is honest to the customer and what you see on the menu is mostly what you get... except I wish the food was a little spicier. The pad thai is done particularly done well here, the noodles tossed enough to have a sear and still be moist and the fish sauce is not dominating the dish, but makes its presence. The meats on every dish I have had there are not ever overcooked. The portions are not large or small, but appropriately sized. The restaurant is clean and the service is consistent. Water glasses are filled only when needed instead of constant passes. The setting of the restaurant is good for either a small family gathering or a casual date. The pricing of the dishes is reasonable, ranging from about $10-$18 for dinner. It seems to offer more rice dishes than the Wellesley location and unlike the Wellesley location, doesn't offer noodle soups. However, overall, it is a nice, inviting restaurant for decompressing after a long day or to fulfill a craving for possibly the best pad thai in the Boston area. Dishes to try: Pacific Chicken, Pad Thai, Todman, Tom Yum Soup read more

haven't even eaten the food yet - we ordered meals and no white rice was sent. We called to ask about this and the person from the restaurant was ver rude about it. They claimed this would need to be a side order. This is something I have never experienced in ordering food from a Thai restaurant. You put your food ON RICE. So not to include it in the meal is nonsensical. read more

Thai Amarin is a favorite. The food is consistently tasty and the service is excellent. We have enjoyed the fresh spring rolls, various curries with tofu (yellow is yummy) and brown rice, basil chicken, ginger chicken, drunken noodle, and pineapple fried rice. Highly recommend! read more

Maybe I would give this place another star if my car hadn't been wrongly towed from the lot across the street during the 10 minutes in took for me to place & receive a take-out order. But, I don't think so. The food was decent but honestly, I thought the prices were a bit too high for basic Thai. And, someone else alluded to this in their review, but I agree - I don't think this place is really all that "Thai" anyway. Not that I mind that. I really don't care if something is "authentic" or not, as long as it's good. This is Boston, not Thailand, so I applaud the use of cranberries in my dish. Authentic or not. The brown rice was surprisingly delicious. It had a nutty, full flavor and I was glad I chose it over white rice. I thought the shrimp roll (I've seen these called many different things on many different menus) appetizer was a bit small and bland. The man liked his beef dish well enough but as I was pouring the leftover's into the dogs bowl I couldn't help but notice that the remaining sauce looked like an oil slick. I suppose if I had dined in here (the atmosphere is very nice) and eaten my meal hot (instead of lukewarm after dealing with the towing fiasco) I might have enjoyed it more. I'll give Amarin another chance if I can find a place to park next time. read more

My family always ends up here. Like other reviewers have mentioned, their pad thai is literally the best I have ever had. Perfectly light and fluffy, just sticky enough with plenty of shrimp, chicken and tofu. I don't live in Boston anymore, but every time I return, I make it a point to come to this place. The service is always polite and fast, and I've never tried a dish I didn't like. The Black Pepper Chicken Curry is top-notch as well - amazingly spicy-sweet with tender chicken and lots of sauce. I love the traditional raised tables in the center of the restaurant, though I wouldn't sit there with older people, since you sit on pillows with no back support (this issue has actually come up, when my grandparents visit. This is how often we go there). FYI, the general atmosphere is pretty mellow - not a place for the Thai equivalent of sake-bombing. read more

Heads up!! They offer free parking. I did not know that so I paid for metered parking but not a huge deal. I came here on a lunch with my colleagues. The restaurant was nice and it wasn't busy at the time. We all ordered a lunch special and papaya salad. I'm not sure if you are suppose to request the salad to be spicy but it was not spicy at all. Keep that in mind if you are looking for the spicy papaya salad. I think the lunch option is such a great deal. You get a choice of an app, soup and a meal for only ~$11!! I got the drunken noodle and it was really good and the portion side was large. Everyone else also enjoyed their meal. I'd come back but I'd pass on the salad. read more

Spicy/Sour soup was pretty good. They serve far east beers (asahi, etc...) which is good. The vegetable spring rolls were good too. I got the "Seafood Madness" which was rated 3 starts, the most spicy. I was a little disappointed. First of all it wasn't spicy. Second of all there was a strong reliance on mussels which is not my favorite. Other than that it was pretty good but could have used more scallops and fish, and less clams and mussels. Also tried some of my friend's red curry with chicken. It was fine too. more spicy at 2 stars than the seafood madness. Service was a little slow but fine otherwise. I like the design of the place and it would probably be pretty fun to get a center table - take off your shoes and sit down on those low tables. read more

I went to try Amarin with my family. It was really enjoyable. I think what i liked most about the place was that it didn't have the typical fast-Thai food (not that I don't enjoy that....) that I am used to getting around BU. We tried grandma's shrimp, the crazy noodles, lemon scallops and some pork dish...I forget what its called. They give a ton of veggies with the dishes that you order, not so much of the protein that is in the name of the dish (ie - shrimp, scallops, etc.) but the food was good enough that I didn't care. My favorite was the lemon scallops, they were really flavorful and the lemon in the background of the light sauce went really well with the chunks of scallops. Yum! The other dishes were just okay. The crazy noodles were disappointing, and wasn't as spicy as I anticipated. But it wasn't bad. It became really busy a few minutes after my family and I sat down. I think that our waiter was new......he was really polite and nice but he was so slow. He was always around somewhere but we could never get hold of him to ask for more rice or refills our drinks. We ended up asking another waiter for these things. It also took our actual waiter about 15 min to return my mom's credit card so that she could sign. We enjoyed the food enough to go back. Hopefully service will be better next time. read more

This restaurant has great food as other yelpers have noted, good location, and the important part - validated parking. You need to go to the opposite side of the block to enter the garage on Bacon St. Traffic can be confusing and irritating, so take it slowly. If you are using a GPS navigation device then select your destination for Bacon St. Do not park in the Bertucci lot; the tow truck company sits there and wait to tow you for over $100. Back to the food. Be careful about ordering dishes that are too similar in ingredients otherwise your dinner may end up a bit boring. For a dinner party of 4, I would order three appetizers ( which have greater variety in preparation and taste), a pad thai and rice, a meat dish (I recommnend any of the ducks), and a seafood dish (go for the whole fish) to share family style. Service is ok - nothing to rave about. They are good about food allergies and tweaking dishes. read more

I always liked this place but then last year I accidentally ordered the ***black pepper chicken curry. Um wow. My mouth was on fire, but it was so good! I do not eat spicy food. But I order this and nothing else except the spring rolls, from here whenever I go. Two notes: I have been to the one in Wellesley and had a less than satisfactory experience, the food did not even taste the same. Also, if you drive make sure you park in the garage or in the meter lot behind the restaurant not in the private lot behind Bertucci's. The tow company has creeps waiting for you to walk off the lot to take your car. read more

Very friendly staff and good selection of excellent food with a decent price point. This is sitting in the center of the room with the Dropped Down floor is fun too. read more
