Amarin Thai

Golden Boy was booked out so we went for a ‘trusted and known’ restaurant and they didn’t disappoint. Apparently they have a new Thai-​born and trained chef but if our meals were anything to go by their standards won’t be dropping.
Amarin has the typical Asian feel and waitresses dressed in traditional dress is a nice extra. All staff are very helpful and our request for faster service as we only had 50 minutes to spare was quickly accommodated. Don’t book a table near the entry as it gets breezy and avoid the halfway point where the toilets are… so front and rear are best. They welcome drop ins.
Their plate of sizzling Amarin beef special was divine and the duck curry with pineapple and lychees, whilst a bit short on the actual curry, was absolutely delicious. The green chicken curry I had last time was equally great. The menu is quite standard but then you go there for good Thai food, not surprises. The drinks list isn’t exceptional but has enough there.

Tucked just behind Fellinis it is easy to miss this place. I love going to dinner with work mates because we all like food maybe a little more than is healthy. So after a few rounds of drinks we ordered our food.
We got 2 serves of sea stars. They were amazing prawn dumplings. I would be more than happy to eat a meal of them.
We had mussaman, pad Thai, barramundi and green mango sauce.
The range of meals we had were fantastic. I could not fault this place at all

The best Thai restaurant in North Adelaide.
I find it hard to go past favourites like Barramundi with green mango.
This restaurant has been doing things well for some time. It should have more direct competition but others seem to be adopting McDonalds sort of fast food model. Cheap but very profitable. If you want value head to Amarin.

This is some quality Thai food found in a tranquil and ambient setting. Relaxing Thai music & traditionally dressed waitresses make you feel you are dining along the beautiful shores of Thailand.
The food was cooked to perfection (hands down the best pad Thai I’ve had in Adelaide yet). The tom yum soup had just the right amounts of sweet and sour and the duck was succulent. To finish off we dined on sticky rice and coconut pudding which was absolutely beautiful.
Unfortunately there are some downsides of amarin mainly; small serving sizes and quite pricey! The meals and desserts all came out at different times (we all had soup but they all came out at varying times!) and they misplaced a friends dessert order. I’ll use the excuse that they were extremely busy for the mediocre service we received!

I didn’t take any pictures and will have to change that in the future because this place isn’t just about the food. It’s the experience. From the beautifully dressed servers who were all pleasant, friendly, efficient and helpful to the nicely appointed space and the colourful dishes this place is a hit. The aromas are important and we found ourselves trying to match smells to menu items for a good 5 minutes as we salivated over choices. Pick anything, I would hazard a guess that the whole menu tastes great. Just having some coconut rice alone was extremely flavourful and may well have been soaked in angel’s breathe and unicorn tears before it was served!
The only downside for me was cost. We had a modest sized meal for two with a bottle of beer each and it came to $ 110 or so. Ok, not extortionate but a little more than I would have thought we’d pay. In any case it’s worth the trip if you haven’t tried the restaurant yet.

I got wonderful service here, it was a really nice atmosphere dimly lit and in beautiful north adelaide.
For entrée I had salt and pepper eggplant was delicious we also had prawn spring rolls which were full prawns wrapped in spring roll paper.
I had a pad Thai main which was also yum it had chicken and prawns in it.
Amarin is on the pricey side for Thai food our entrees were $ 12.90 pad Thai was $ 17.50 and the curries were about $ 23.90.

A friend had recommended that I should try this restaurant for its good Thai authentic dishes, service and atmosphere, so a friend and I decided we should try this place out.
We ordered two dishes; the Pandan chicken and the Seafood Pad Cha. Both dishes arrived 20 minutes after ordering. The Pandan chicken consist of pieces of boneless chicken wrapped with aromatic leaf, deep friend and served with sweet chili sauce, and the Seafood Pad Cha is a combination of prawns, squid, octopus, mussels, snapper fillets and stir fried with Thai spices, coconut milk and chilli paste. Both dishes were very delicious! The chicken was tender and well favour and my friend told me that the seafood was too hot for their likeing.
The place was a little small though, we were place on a table where people and staff use as their main path to move around the restaurant, so people were bumping on to our table.
Overall the restaurant serve good authentic fresh food, good service and splendid atmosphere.

Service was efficient and friendly. Food was fresh and well priced. Atmosphere was bustling yet relaxed. What more could you want? Really nice authentic thai food in a relaxed atmosphere. Easily one of North Adelaide’s best thai restaurants.

Amarin Thai is just up the eastern side of Tynte Street and a gem that has been hiding there for many years now. The food is great, and the service is truly friendly. I have to underscore this, because there are few places where I have felt such warmth from the staff as here, even though I am not really a regular, you are made to feel like you are one of their best customers every time you visit.
They have really good lunch specials during the day, however I mainly use them for takeaway food. They prepare the food quickly, so you can literally call and then jump in the car and go and collect it straight away. Their Larp Chicken and Sea Stars come highly recommended by all I know who have tried them.
One thing that does let them down a little is that they have found a formula and stuck to it for more than a decade. The décor is a little tired, and the menu has not changed in all the time I have been going there. I really would like to see them extend themselves a little and mix it up a bit… but at the end of the day you know what you are going to get, you don’t need to consult the menu as you can order from memory, and that makes Amarin Thai a safe choice.

Thai food doesn’t get any better than Armain’s. Never been disappointed with the service here.
The prawns are top-​notch, cooked with roasted coconut and red chilli. I’m a fan of anything with Ginger or Galangal, these prawns have that spicy texture that I love.
The food inexpensive but the wines will fetch a high price. Bring your own, just don’t bring beer.

A charming Thai restaurant around the corner from Fellini’s on Tynte Street. An inviting combination of stucco and wood, the space has a warm Mediterranean hint with vaulted ceilings and a french window in the front.
It’s a bit of a shame there’s only two tables outside, as it’s in a nice, slightly secluded spot. The cosy inside is lovely though, with the dining area is in an L shape wrapping around the kitchen and bar.
The food is very good, but for me the main beauty of Amarin is the pleasant environment!
Take away is quick, my last order (Pad Ma-​Moung Him-​Ma Parn) only took 10min! If you’re eating in, they don’t do separate bills.
Won’t disappoint.

Located just off O’Connell St in North Adelaide, Amarin Thai is a definite must try. It is a small space and gets quite packed, so bookings are essential for Friday and Saturday evenings. They also cater for large groups despite being a small space.
Walking in, you will find waiters and waitresses dressed in Thai costumes greeting you with friendly smiles and escorting you to your table. The service here is very good.
Artwork decorates the walls, while dim lights hang from the high ceiling. The interior is definitely cosy, a bit old-​looking, but provides an intimate atmosphere. You can find a couple extra tables in the tiny courtyard outside.
The food here is some of the best Thai I have ever had in Adelaide — especially the Pad Thai! I don’t know about you, but I’ve never really been a huge fan of sweet, tomatoey (word check anyone) Pad Thai. Here at Amarin, it tastes… Different. Less sweet. It’s so good!
The Tom Yum is really nice, but quite expensive and it’s a very small portion size. There is this other pork dish, I forget it’s exact name but it sounds something like «Choo», and you can either get squid or pork with it. It is sort of like glazed pork. Very nice!
Be sure to try this next time you’re around North Adelaide!

This restaurant is unassuming on the outside but an absolute find. Just around the corner from Fellini’s on O’Connell Street, Amarin serves Thai food in a lovely intimate environment. This is definitely a date restaurant. Because of the small space the waiters pay special attention and take really good care of you. I get this feeling I could ask them for anything no matter how strange, like fairy floss dipped in mayonnaise or a barbecue chip pie, and they would nod, thinking holy shit, and them do their darnedest to whip one up for me. You’ll feel special here.
The roasted duck curry with lychee, pineapple and eggplant is something different and surprisingly delicious, and if you’re a bit of a comfort food eater like myself, the old faves like Pro Ram and Massaman Curry are spicy and filling and really delicious. Can I say nom nom nom? Guess what: I just did.
