Amarin of Thailand (27 Grove St Wellesley Ma 02481)

The restaurant's decor is really nothing special, but it's down home comfortable with tables and booths. The main dining room is at an odd angle, so people who freak out from MC Escher drawings may be disconcerted. Service here is very good and the folks are generally friendly and accommodating. Prices are surprisingly cheap for some dishes, more expensive for big entrees. Tasty fresh food! Start out with Satay anything and wish that they could make a pool full of their peanut sauce to swim in. Mmmmm peanut sauce pool. The vegetarian rolls are OK, but lack some character, even with the sauce. Maybe they should add some basil to them. Tom Klang soup is my favorite: a lime-ish coconutty affair with tasty chicken and those Thai flavors I love! From there, entrees are your choice and everything is darned good. The thing I like about Amarin is that the food isn't GREASY at all. I leave most Thai restaurants stuffed so full of greasy Pad Thai that I need a stomach pump. However, Amarin's dishes feature light flavorful sauces and fresh meat and veggies. Highly recommended are Lover's Scampi (sexy sexy curry), Chicken and Cashews, and anything with duck. Daffy won't thank you, but your tummy will!
