Service is always good! Atmosphere is wonderful! But the icing on the cake is the Amarin Crater- pineapple fried rice served in an actual pineapple.

I love both the Four Seasons AND the Mambo Mambo Chicken. The Love Boat is a great appetizer. And the soups are great. Also the fresh spring rolls are wonderful.

Open Late! They have a REAL Vegetarian menu too without the fish sauce, oyster sauce, or egg! Awesome drunken noodles with mock duck here

Spicy noodles are very good. Hint...when they ask what level of spice.....I tried #4....it had a hell of a kick...just sayin!

Try the Tropical Paradise - Salad w/Shrimp,crisp fresh fruit and palm sugar viniagarette. Very refreshing summer salad

Try the Taro Pearls in Coconut Cream - This was creamy but not heavy the sesame seeds added texture. subtle earthy character that was very appealing. Delicious.

Try the Potak Soup - Really large pieces of Squid. The broth savory and tart from lemongrass. Very satisfying starter.

Order a pot of the Shrimp Tom Yum soup. It's sour, spicy, and scrumptious :)

Try everything at least one if not twice at this place. Been eating Amarin for 5yrs now and has always been consistently yummy.

Get their CPK Volcano. It's chicken and spinach in a green curry, but they put it in tin-foil shaped like a chicken, and then light it on fire! So delicious!
Sasha ChernenkoAugust 18, 2015
Noodles, TomYum soup, fish is fresh and prices are reasonable

The crispy duck curry was good. The green curry and tamarind fish were not spicy enough to bring out the best flavor. The service was terrible, very disappointing.

Some of the best Pad Thai I've had... Try it spicy
The FeastJune 14, 2011
Sake-marinated shrimp and duck bathed in feisty choo-chi sauce are among the refreshing departures from everyone else’s usual curry dishes.
Chen LiDecember 1, 2015
The food was great. However, the service was less favorable.
Mat StroteDecember 30, 2011
The Tom Kah soup is amazing and shouldn't be missed!
Zachary SimonNovember 10, 2013
The overhead muzak is loud and terrible enough to distract from an otherwise great place.
Ben SchwartzApril 13, 2017
Unusual but get the salmon
Dru MacasiebOctober 27, 2010
The four seasons is not that great. I recommend the mambo chicken and the pineapple fried rice.
Alexandra HigginsJanuary 18, 2014
