Amarit Thai

Amarit Thai is a nice sit-down Thai place. It was very neat, clean, and almost empty at 3 p.m. It was pretty quiet, except for the pop music (“All I Wanna Do” by Sheryl Crow was a high light) playing through the speakers. The table’s had vibrant green plants around them, which definitely brightened our dining experience. The service was great. The staff was very attentive, refilling our water glasses often. They cracked a few jokes with us, but did not go out of their way to do so, adding to the chill environment of the place.

I ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls. They were delicious. Maybe not the best Spring Rolls I’ve ever had, but they were quite good. They were a medley of fried tofu, carrots, and other delicious vegetables wrapped in rice paper, topped with a tangy sauce, carrots, bean sprouts and red peppers. The flavors all blended very well together, especially after I started distributing the toppings onto each bite. There was also a nice contrast of temperature in the rolls, the warm fried tofu complimenting the chilled vegetables. There was also a nice variety of texture in the dish, from the crisp rice paper, to the crunchy vegetables, to the softer tofu. I would have preferred it with less sauce, but it was still a great overall dish.

I’m not sure if I would go to Amarit Thai again. The environment and food were good, but not fabulous. I think if I was every in the neighborhood hungry for Thai, Amarit’s would be the place to go, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.
