Amarin of Thailand — Restaurant in Wellesley

I will literally never order from Amarin of Thailand again, and will recommend against them to everyone I know. I am so bothered by the poor conduct of the staff. They called me, multiple times, and did not release my order until I answered, just to ask me why I hadn't provided a tip through my credit card. Upon arriving (mind you, it took the full hour allotted in the delivery window) the driver called me and said he was at my door. I went outside in the frigid cold and ended up having to wait for multiple minutes before he pulled up. He then did not even get out of the car, and instead rolled down the window and gestured for me to approach his car- not cool, actually pretty scary (approaching unknown vehicles is how you get kidnapped). The driver had me reach into the front passenger seat to get my food, did not confirm who I was or that it was the right order. As I turned to walk away, he called out after me "hey, aren't you going to tip?? Where's my tip??" and continued to call out loudly after me as I walked back to my building. He must have demanded 5 or 6 times. I'm sorry, with this extreme lack of service I refuse to tip, especially considering I was already charged both a delivery fee, and a service fee (which was not shown or mentioned anyway until the final stage of checkout). Those two fees alone resulted in a 17 % addition to my bill. When I finally opened my order, I noticed that the pad thai had not met the specification I had placed on it (no shrimp and extra limes), which seemed bizarre. Seriously, is it even pad thai without lime?? It was incredibly flavorless, the eggs overcooked, and unlike nearly every other thai restaurant ever there was no chicken in it. The noodles were super dry and lacking in sauce. Okay. So I open the green curry- it's not a green curry. Either they gave me the wrong order or just gave me the wrong curry. Seriously not cool. This is not what I ordered or wanted, and not what I...

I recently went to Amarin of Thailand and marveled at how the restaurant has kept it’s impeccable standard after all these years. My family has been dining with Sam and his family for over 25 years (since the restaurant was in Newton Corner). Every savory dish on the menu is made to perfection, infused with the most tantalizing flavors you’ll ever experience. Amarin’s cuisine is exceptional, from the appetizers, my favorites being: Chicken Satay, Siam Rolls, Saigon Dices, Shrimp in a Blanket, and recently added Chicken Wings, to the entreés: Beef Macadamia, Yellow Curry, Seaman’s Platter, Salmon Choo Chee, Pad Thai, and Indonesian Fried Rice, just to name a few. When dinner arrives, it's always a production. And with every bite, you'll experience the unique flavors that make these savory dishes a rare find. Oh, and to cleanse your palate, do try the sorbets or the mango cheesecake - you’ll thank me for it later ;) Five Stars on all fronts including...

I have been eating at this restaurant for more decades than I care to remember. I think that their Pad Thai is the best I have found. Awhile ago, there were some problems with some of the staff who were sometimes rude to you if you complained about a problem you had with the food. That there were any problems with the food was, itself, an unfortunate development. I cannot report the exact dates, but the restaurant changed hands and now many of the previous staff members are back and they are as friendly as they had always been. The quality of the food is once again back to its high standards. And, I still frequent Amarins in Wellesley, one of my most favorite...
