Amarin Thai Cuisine, Mountain View CA

Beautiful area to walk around, nice set up, service is good. Food was really good. Prices are bit high but it has good food to enjoy.

Got green curry takeout today. Portion extremely small. I understand you are on Castro, but you shouldn't rip your customers off like this. $20 for a curry smaller than my cup. Also, did I mention rice is not included, $3 add-on. Food is just OK.

Haven't been here for a while and was happily surprised by mostly excellent food. While the rating is more than 4 stars, it wasn't quite 5 as the chicken in the Tom Yum soup (and one other dish) had the "unpleasant taste" that typically results when the chicken is incorrectly cooked, e.g, reheating it after a cool down. I am a bit sensitive to such taste. Anyway, the soup base was excellent. And, all other dishes were very good except for the chicken itself.

Green Thai Curry is always good, but never make the mistake of underestimating the spicy level and stick to medium spicy. Lesson learned

I brought my family here for food; during the pandemic they have a great setup of eating outside. We ate the super green curry, Tom Yum soup and spicy Eggplant. Everything tasted great and the service was excellent. This was my second time here and I enjoyed it! Adding this to my list of Castro fav restaurants

Nice flavored, Authentic Thai Cuisine.
(+) Just enough coconut milk balanced n mixed with slightly acidic curry spices to incite your tasting palate and open up your appetite.

(-) Some dishes however are a bit too sweet or overpowering.
(-) Most dishes come in “small” amounts, in the $20s n don’t come with rice. You MUST order Rice because Rice goes BEST with curry!
(-) Dish portions can be larger to satisfy most diners appetites n satisfactions

The panang curry I had here was so delicious! It was on the spicier side, but still managed to have a saucy and delicious curry flavor. The service was pretty fast for us, and they were attentive to our needs. The one downside was that they charge extra for steamed rice: (

I have NEVER been disappointed eating here!
I visited Phuket once and came back loving Thai food, this is the only stateside Thai Resturant in three states that I have found that serves that same food.
You will not be disappointed!

The spicy catfish used to be served with green beans and bell peppers. Not anymore. The overall quality went from bad to worse.

This is a great Thai restaurants with other locations. It serves consistently seasoned and aromatic Thai specialties. It will be a delight to have their lunch buffet back. Chicken leg appetizer stuffed with noodles was dry and chewy this time. Always bustling, and attractively presented dishes is a constant reminder to come eat here again and again.

Good grub. I ordered a pineapple fried rice to go but didn't expect them to pack half a pineapple. It's great to eat out of a pineapple if dining in, but takeout should not include the pineapple shell.

Edit: Have been eating here more frequently. Had the basil tofu last time, where they decided to remove the sauce from the dish. We asked it to be added and they obliged. The chef (owner) came out to apologize and told us the story the behind the sauce. Good place to hang out and eat since the road is still closed to traffic.

We love this place! Food is great and the service was fast. I like the way they serve their soup:) Theres a lot of places to eat in downtown Mountain View but not too many Thai restaurants. This is definitely a great place to have Thai food in the area. I would definitely go back to this place again.

Now this is my favorite this place. I love Thai food and of all the places I have tried in south bay, this is the best. But this review is about their phone ordering service and this happened twice. An extremely unfriendly lady answered the phone, which is fine cz I care about the quality of the food. Twice I have ordered soup over the phone and asked for THAI HOT. They messed up both times as the soup could barely pass off as mildly spicy! To add to this, they messed up my veg soup order to seafood! This is horrible and unacceptable. Next time, please answer the phone with your ears open!

Short staffed. They mixed up orders and we experienced long delay in service. Food was tasty, but could have been a little less greasy!

Amarin never failed to disappoint me. Who gave you the courage to say you are the best Thai in MTV? I'm pretty confident you can compete for the worst though. Amarin is on my personal black list but after so many years I had to come back to them for a dinner with colleagues. They said we didn't reserve for outdoors so no outdoors for us. I didn't make the reservation so I was not sure of all the details but then I said I can wait here and if an outdoors seat became available can you at least give it to me? He said no and left. Zero coordination. It's not like there are people waiting right now. There were 0 parties waiting and that's their response. Typical Amarin, consistent service all these years.

There are so many wonderful Thai places out there, don't ruin your precious nights out here.

The food was super tasty with plenty of veggie options. The service was outstanding! Big shout out to the attentive and patient staff even when it was very busy.

Amarin Thai is a decent spot for Thai Cuisine in the Bay Area. Located on Castro St.in Mountain View, we were welcomed into a nice ambience that was drowned out by the crowd noise. The restaurant can get really busy so plan your wait times when getting here. The service pre-covid was nothing to write home about, and it remains much more disappointing now, especially at the price-point of this restaurant. The service staff once they seat you, are pretty much MIA till absolutely necessary, and you would need to call out for instructions multiple times for them to pay heed.

We were a group of mostly vegetarians and the food did not disappoint. Most of the vegetarian dishes were well made, while the non-vegetarian (chicken) dishes were decent, nothing to write home about. The quantities are good to share with a group. Overall, worth a visit for its popularity and give it a shot, go for some decent food, anything else is a bonus.

Recommendations: Spicy Eggplant, Soy Protein, Tom Kha

We had the house fried rice, spicy pumpkin curry, spicy sweet basil stir fry, and mussamun curry. Everything was fantastic and we "fought" over who was taking home leftovers. Outdoor seating was lovely.

My new favorite Thai restaurant in the bay area. Pad see mao and cashnew nut chicken spicy level was perfect (we like hot) and service was greatm qualiy meat quality noodles. Even the water was tasty.maybe it's triple filtered. Highly recommend

I ordered a medium Tom Yum soup and Mussaman Curry for a takeout. The Tom Yum was $14.99 and the Mussaman Curry was $17.99 +$3 for beef replacement. When I opened the container, the Tom Yum soup was in a really small food container and didn't even have the vinegary taste, which is what I have tasted from other Thai restaurants. The curry dish tasted good but there were only 6 pieces of beef stew chunks, 4 pieces of potatoes and the rest was seasoning and curry soup, poor amount of food for $21. Really disappointed. This is a really bad experience with this Thai restaurant and I will definitely not go back.
