What People Are Saying About Amarin Thai Cuisine

The Scene
Gone are the drab, floral tablecloths and wood wall paneling--Amarin has been transformed. An entire wall is now devoted to a mural of two beautiful Asian women in a tranquil setting, and the others are awash in muted blue and lavender. The makeover has boosted the already popular restaurant's customer base, making it essential to get there before the weekend dinner rush.
The Food
One of the largest Thai menus in town, it comprises a whopping 74 meat, seafood, noodle and rice dishes and 47 vegetarian dishes.
What to Order
The Popeye, named after the cartoon character, aptly consists of sauteed spinach, choice of meat and spicy garlic chili sauce. Sounds too healthy to be good, but it's divine. The grilled beef salad in a spicy lime sauce is also delicious.

It's not like a Thai restaurant anymore. It's Americanized and things don't taste the way they should. It's very expensive to have a meal here too. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

I adore Amarin! I loving bringing friends here - and I do so every chance I get. During the good economic, the place could get packed, but recently the place?s never been busy. Tasty, yummy, and delicious are how I describe the meal I had. The flavors were amazing and the food was fresh and EXCELLENT. The MOST important; NO MSG IN ALL DISHES!! The service is friendly, if not speedy, and the atmosphere calm and relaxing. I have had so many dinners here and it's always been perfect. My favorites are angel wings (stuffed chicken wing), pineapple fired rice, and roast duck curry. Also, their salad is SUPERB. For some reason, they?ve changed the way they cooked their GREAT angel wings lately. Its taste was still fine, although not as great as it had been. I didn?t like the new crispy skin outside the wings; I love the old way more. The other food is always wonderful. I had tried many Thai restaurants in Sacramento, but after I found Amarin, I?ve NEVER EVER been to any other Thai restaurants in Sacramento again. Food may a bit slow, but you will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend this place more highly!!!! Check it out for yourself.

This is the best Thai Food we have had in the Sacramento/Davis area by a longshot. Vegetarian/Vegan options are bountiful, and while the portion/price ratio isn't great, the food is quite good. It seems the Thai food in Southern California and the Bay Area has us spoiled - but if we had only tried Sacramento and Davis area Thai food we would give Amarin Thai 5 stars.

Hot or Not?:
Don't trust the asterisk system on the menu. One asterisk means the dish is mild, two medium, three hot, but there's nothing on the menu with more than one asterisk. This is misleading and can set your mouth afire.
Feel the Burn:
If you like it hot, then the Tom Yum Kai soup is what your after. This dish, full of chicken and mushrooms, will turn your face red like a tomato.
