After trying to make a reservation at 2 local Thai places in more pedestrian areas, with no luck, we called Thai Amarin and they said to come on in. A huge space on Center Street in Newton Corner, directly across on the same side as Bertucci's. Large lot in the back, but was free as it was a Sunday. However their web page says free parking garage for customers. Excellent service from the get go, comprehensive menu. We all agreed that it was very good and would return. The obligatory Papaya Salad ordered very spicy, was excellent. Of the dishes that we enjoyed were the Pad Woo Sen with Shrimp, A crispy duck curry, a traditional shrimp pad Thai and another curry that I can't confirm as the website does not have the dinner menu (none that I could find). We had huge cups of tea that were cheerfully refilled during our dining experience. We love Thai Cuisine and I can say with confidence that this is a dynamite spot, spacious, with warm & inviting service. Fairly priced as well. read more

Cool ambience and good service, especially for a big group of us! I really enjoyed the apps but I was bummed there were no N/A options. I ordered the red curry and sort of wish I went with a noodle dish instead. The curry was ok but not the best. It felt like there was a little too much coconut milk in it but maybe it's because I asked for it mild. read more

Thai Amarin - Red Curry - Thai Near Me - Newton Corner, Massachusetts

I had to pay for parking in a municipal lot. There is no street parking. At first glance, it looks like an upscale Thai restaurant. At least that is what they want you to think to justify the high prices. The server came right over when I sat down. She had a smile on her face. I had to ask for some hot sauce rather than having it right on the table.. Also they never brought me a knife and forks. I had to take one off a place setting at my table. I like to start my dinner with an appetizer. I think 8:00 is overpriced for vegetable spring rolls especially given that fact that I was presented with four deep fried rolls with very little vegetables inside the roll. nothing to brag about. I had pad Thai that was delicious. But then again who can screw up pad Thai? The only reason I gave it three stars was the pad Thai. There is nothing that would encourage me to return. I would look for another place to dine. read more

Thursday night in Newton took an unexpected turn as Buff's wings spot was jam-packed with an hour-long wait. Enter Plan B: a charming Thai gem we spotted off the bus, delightfully empty. Asian food always wins. The restaurant's interior was a visual treat, and the staff radiated warmth. The food, undeniably solid, came with a slight price tag and an extra charge for rice-- a perplexing concept for me. Yet, they worked wonders with a dish that featured eggplant, a dish I usually approach cautiously depending on whose cooking lol. All and all solid place with a really welcoming and considerate staff. What we got Beef saignon Veggie Rolls Pork Ginger Purple Dress beef Prices $$ Food 7 Atmosphere 7 Service 7 read more

Great, friendly service and really great food. Not too busy. Can't wait to come back.

We ordered 4 dinners for pick up. The house duck ($25) was not edible it was very dry - it went straight to the trash! $25 !!. The pad Thai with crispy chicken - another mistake! because the chicken was heavy and soggy not crispy. The other entries had no flavor. I should've read the reviews before ordering. read more

The waitresses are friendly and pleasant. The restaurant is very clean and has comfortable seats. These are the reasons that I went to o this restaurant numerous times. read more

The Thai food here is pretty good. It is slightly above average since the flavors are good. The flavors are familiar but not wow. This is still solid for Thai food if you are local around the area. The portion size is in the smaller side and I wish they added some sort of vegetables in the Pad Thai. The beef and broccoli is standard as well. Overall, this is still a pretty solid place for Thai food. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch and there was a lunch menu lunch is around $16 depending on what you order. I had a tamarind duck which was delicious and tried the mango curry which was meh since the chicken was chewy,, and the mango sticky rice is divine! But of course I came at the tail end of lunch. They have a way of telling you to go after they had to hurry my sticky rice because the kitchen was closing at 3 PM but as we were about to pay the bill, I was in deep conversation, I asked the server if we could stay a little longer even though we're not gonna order anything, but she didn't really answer the question directly. She said that all the kitchen is closing...fine! And the lights were shut down. Upon leaving the restaurant, my friend and I saw one of the cooks lie down with his smart phone watching a movie on the waiting room front couch as if he was in his living room, barefoot and all. Oh well. read more

This place should really have 5 stars. As a self proclaimed Thai food connoisseur, I have been here SEVERAL times and the food is consistent, flavorful, and executed gracefully. The classic Thai noodles here (pad see ew, pad kee mao, pad thai) are packed with authentic flavor. Portions are excellent. They have a variety of interesting entree dishes (chicken, duck, beef etc). I have tried several and they are always excellent and complimentary. I highly recommend the fish fillets. So crispy and seasoned well. The sushi here is also amazing. Fish quality is fresh, smooth, and fatty. Large, open space perfect for families or get togethers. Ambiance is relaxing with jazz playing in the background. Service is also great, waiters are attentive and kind. Such a hidden gem in Newton! read more

Love this place! Wonton soup and crab rangoons are my go to, as well as the spinach tofu noodle. I will say the chicken satay is subpar in my opinion, too thick and chewy. But if you are not looking for that I highly recommend this place! read more

We enjoyed our takeout order from here. We were so hungry we didn't remember to take photos. Summer rolls with shrimp were nice to start. Was expecting a peanut sauce but the sauces were actually different. Enjoyed my pad thai with plenty of tofu and chopped peanuts. My boyfriend said he thought there would be more pineapple in his beef dish, but also enjoyed it. He had scallion pancakes as well, which were tasty. read more

Third time ordering and grub hub never delivered waited over an hour. Terrible to have a service representing your restaurant that doesn't follow through read more

Yum yum yum! I've only gotten take out here, so this review is focused on that. Each order is always a large portion and I tend to have leftovers for several days! The mango chicken curry is super unique and tasty. Don't forget to order a side of rice as it doesn't to me with it! read more

Wonderful place for Tai and Sushi...though there is no sushi on Monday through Wednesday... I like sushi so I ordered three salmon nigera (1 smoked, two regular), and a salmon roll. The roll was served first and you could taste how fresh the salmon was. The sushi chef then came to my table and asked if I would like to try his Tosh (sp?) version in place of one of the regular salmon sushi. He explained it is a fatty salmon and the kind of seer it with a torch. It was excellent and much better that a "regular " sushi. My wife lover her dish and we agreed we have to come back and try the other items on the menu. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, but always held off because of the distance. However, I was recently at a location that was only 10 minutes away and had to take that opportunity. Without a doubt I will be going back whenever I want Thai food regardless of distance. My sister and mom said they weren't hungry, but both couldn't resist once they saw how aesthetically pleasing the food looked. They echoed the same sentiments as me, the best Thai food we've had in years! We're vegetarian so we need a good variety of vegetables with our tofu. I've never before gotten a dish so perfectly filled with all sorts of vegetables, delicious sauces, and perfectly portioned tofu. The place was packed on a Sunday night, and the restaurant is quite large. We definitely plan on dining in at some point soon. read more

I came here with my parents for dinner. There was no wait when we arrived. This place was a childhood favorite of mine, so I was pumped to come back. We ordered shrimp pad Thai, chicken yellow curry, and crispy rolls. The pad thai wasn't bad - the portion size was very small for the price. There were very few pieces of shrimp, which was very disappointing. The chicken yellow curry also wasn't great. There were maybe ~5 small slices of chicken in there, which isn't a lot. The dish was mainly just onions. The curry, itself, was very thin and watery. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but I wasn't a huge fan. The rolls were pretty good! I loved the sweet chili sauce that comes with it. I drizzled a little of the sweet chili sauce on the pad thai, since the pad thai wasn't that flavorful. The waitress we had wasn't friendly. She never smiled once and seemed very grumpy the entire time we were there. She also wasn't very attentive. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. One of my parents swore that we weren't coming back. We used to come here a ton while I was growing up (and I loved this place a ton back then) but apparently they changed management... maybe that's why the quality went down. I doubt I'll be back. read more

Yikes, need a cleanup on aisle 5... we have a massive oil spill. See pictures for how disgustingly soaked those pad Thai noodles were... and that's from just the amount of noodles that remained! I felt sick after eating over half, and then realized why when I tilted the container. Also, I've never been charged for chili paste at any other Thai restaurant (a microscopically small to-go cup at that). I know times are tough but that's just nickel and diming. read more

We visited Thai Amarin after seeing that a new sushi menu - San Ryo Ka - opened within their establishment. We went on a Saturday which was pretty busy but the service was still good. For food we got the Ikura nigiri which is a classic. We also tried the volcano roll which has a nice kick to it (and it's shaped like a volcano!). The salmon sashimi was fatty and delicious. The grand slam was a great combination of flavors with the torched salmon, avocado and the different sauces used. The spicy salmon tempura had a great crunch to it and wasn't too spicy. The pad Thai had a great balance of flavors from that slight sweetness to the crunchy peanuts. Lastly, the chef actually gave us a torched salmon belly on the house which was so kind of him. The salmon was so good, it melted in your mouth. This nigiri was very nicely balanced. Although they were very busy, the service was still really good. Our waitress explained to us that there may be a bit of a wait and apologized for it. They would come and check in to see what we were still missing. Not to mention, the chef gave us the nigiris on the house for the slight wait. Our wait was honestly not long but their staff was needless to say, very kind. With such delicious food and amazing service there's no doubt that we will be back! read more

Great food, soothing ambience and very warm, friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely go back!

Very lovely dining experience on a Saturday evening for 2. Service was great, super attentive with water and bringing out food. Main course were the highlight of dinner. - Yellow curry with chicken was rich in flavor but not overpowering. It had small chunks of pineapple which complimented the sauce tremendously. Paired it with brown rice which was delicioussss - spicy pad Thai was probably the closest I had to what I've had in Thailand. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and tossed in noodles/veggies. Noodles cooked and mixed with seasoning balancing the spicy and nutty flavors. Ordered appetizers too- tom kai soup, chicken dumplings and shrimp cakes. Soup was solid, would probably have more lime next time. The rest were interesting but not really my favorite take on flavors read more

Favorite spot to go to! Yummy food and wonderful service it's always a good experience going here

I've been coming here for about 8 years now - since it was even Amarin of Thailand before May of 2017. I love Thai food, and this place definitely satisfies Thai cravings once a week (or more sometimes haha). Favs: Grapow chicken, drunken noodles, pad woon sen, and other "on the rice" specials I do miss the Singapore Noodles that used to be on the menu before the menu changed about a year ago. Nevertheless I still enjoy grabbing lunch here every so often. Customer service is amazing and I often find myself recommending this place to anyone who's looking for good Thai food. read more

Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but I do not see where the excellent reviews come from. First, the good: -Delivery was super fast -Crab Rangoon was solid (but pricey as these things go) The rest: -My chicken pad see ew just wasn't that good. It had an odd sweetness and was under-salted. The noodle itself had a great texture -We were shocked that rice didn't come with the curries. It didn't cross our mind to order extra because it comes so standard everywhere else -The tofu basil dinner is a few cubes of tofu, and some sliced zucchini and onion. What did we just pay $13 for?! -The crispy chicken on the tofu basil fried rice was oily, wet, not crispy at all, and had a bad flavor We spent $95 on dinner for four and everyone was left hungry. read more

I hate to say it because there is no tougher field than restaurants, but this meal was awful - and didn't even taste like Thai food. Five of us ate and not one dish was good other than the soup. And the waiters were running around like crazy because they were so understaffed. read more

Great lunch deal: 3 course for only $10.95. Included is a choice of soup, an appetizer, and an entree. Rec: (+) Tofu triangles: crispy, deep fried tofu (+) Drunken noodle, request extra spicy if tolerable. Portion is awesome. Was struggling to finish my entree at the end. The interior is on the fancier/date night side for a Thai restaurant. The center of the restaurant has an elaborate, elevated seating area with cushions for large parties/special events. Would come back in a heartbeat. read more

We were very excited to try Thai Amarin! We were instantly intrigued by the ambiance of the restaurant and the unique interior. We ordered Thai Iced teas to start, and they were just the right sweetness. We then ordered the golden bags and the fresh rolls with shrimps and found that they were absolutely delicious. It was our first time trying golden bags and we quickly discovered that they had a delicious curry taste! For our main courses- we tried the Beef Basil and the Pad Thai Senjan- which is a special on their fall menu! The beef was perfectly cooked and had a rich spicy flavor. The pad Thai senjan was very flavorful and the thicker noodles made the dish! The ambiance, food and drinks were incredible and we will definitely be back! read more

I ordered takeout and was pleasantly surprised at the flavorful food. The wings were fried to perfection - golden brown not hard but very moist. I especially loved the the dumplings and wish they had shrimp / pork dumplings as well. The portion size of the dumpling could have been larger I think, but the food is delicious. I also wished the parking situation was better, but it hasn't deterred me up to now. read more

Japanese Food (San Ryo Ka): Hands down, some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life. SO beautiful, colorful, fresh, filling, so much to choose from and overall, literally soooooo good. Sushi is one of my favorite foods and everything here was amazing! Thai Food: AMAZING. As a Thai-American foodie, all of Thai Amarin's dishes were incredible. Big portion sizes, so you can order a lot if you're into dishes like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and all of their appetizers are delicious as well! If you have leftovers, this stuff also microwaves/heats up really well. Store: Overall, nothing disappointed me during my visit there for both Japanese food (San Ryo Ka) then Thai Food (Thai Amarin). Prices are very reasonable for the portion and quality of food you get. Presentation of food is also stunning, they make it very insta-worthy and add a nice Thai touch to everything. I came during COVID and the store was pretty empty, bathrooms were also clean. Suuuper nice owners, very friendly, knows their menu well and just overall nice people who genuinely care about serving their customers well. Only thing is it's out in Newton, but I promise you if you live in the city, it is definitely worth a trip or Uber ride because seriously this place is amazing! read more
