Amarit Thai Restaurant

Good Thai food if you're looking for something quick with good portions. However, both of our main entrees--Chicken Pad Thai and Tofu Red Curry--lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. The Pad Thai was good but bland, and the curry didn't have the rich, aromatic taste we expect from a red curry. Additionally, the Ginger Salad ($8.95) was mostly just 1-2 cups of iceberg lettuce with a good ginger dressing, but it felt very overpriced for what it was. Will definitely go back if we don't have time to drive to Blue Sake in Dunedin. Blue Sake has been consistently excellent.

I have tried this place several times, trying to figure out why it gets such great reviews. The food is average at best and has only a passing resemblance to what I enjoyed in Thailand. On our last visit we spent near $75 for three entrees and one small appetizer. One person who wanted a meal without spice ordered the pad Thai. It came out with a soupy red sauce. I have never seen it served this way anywhere in the world. The service is friendly and fast, so that is a plus I guess. However there are so many better Thai places within a 20 minute drive that we won’t be back.

In the Boot Ranch area for doctor visits, my wife and I stopped by Amarit for lunch. Seated right away I took a few minutes to look around at the decor. All the appointments certainly put me in a Far East mood. Looking over the menu my wife chose the luncheon Fried Rice with Chicken. I decided on the luncheon Shrimp Sauté with mixed vegetables. We discussed the spiciness with the waitress and assured her d bwe did want the Thai Hot spice, well acquainted with the heat level. She also picked the Veggie soup while I chose the Chicken soup, to go along with our salads. We discussed our day and schedules. We gave thanks for the food, for good health and the gorgeous Florida weather. Shortly our soup and salads came. Salad was fresh, crisp, cold and nice. Soup was warm, not really hot, but tasty. A bit later our meals came. Initial tastes confirmed that the chef had indeed listened to our request. Wonderfully spicy! My wife thoroughly enjoyed her usual - Fried Rice. My shrimp was spiced perfectly and the mix of veggies was crisp and yummy. Even without any appetizers, the luncheon dishes were large and half came home with us for later. Good food, good service, great atmosphere, we will definitely be back to try other items. At least I will, the wife will undoubtedly get the Fried Rice!

Great pad Thai! I’ll be back :) also the lard nai wide noodles are great. Amazing flavors, no wait on a Friday evening and good portions. Highly recommend if your looking for Thai food in palm harbor. Only thing I would say is this is the second time I’m served a chipped plate. 🍽️ I think if it’s chipped it shouldn’t be served to customers.

Service is horrible. They sit you down and do not let you know that they are closing - but the minute your order they start the process of rushing you through your meal. They attempt several times to clear your plate while you are still eating and then drop the check on you repeatedly to rush you to pay and get out. Ok to collect the $ but then decline service.
