Reviews of Tarin Thai Cuisine

5 stars from both my wife and I, and she is from Thailand. I've eaten a lot of Thai food both here and in Thailand and I think this place is fantastic. We both ordered Thai spicy dishes that seemed a tad milder than real Thai spicy, but perhaps because of negative reviews from people who don't know what Thai spicy really means 😁

This was literally THE WORST Thai food I have EVER had, and the worst service I have ever had, too, and that is saying A LOT. I have been all over Asia and eaten all kinds of Thai food, but what I experienced tonight was nothing short of inedible. I specifically told the waitress "NO SPICE" in any of the dishes, yet they all came out so spicy that we couldn't eat any of them. The only thing that had been eaten was a chicken fried rice and dumplings for my daughter, but the three salads my mother and I ordered were filled with so much spice that we never took more than 2 bites out of each of them. My mouth was on fire so badly that I could feel my skin on my lips burning and couldn't even eat the Pad Thai because of it. One of the waitresses came over and offered us rice because she could see it was so spicy, but it didn't make it any better. Then, when it was time for the check, she refused to take any of it off the bill, even though she knew I had asked for no spice and even though it was obvious we hadn't eaten any of it. When I asked her to take something off the bill, she responded with "I'm not the owner", smiled, and walked away with my credit card. Just to get out the door I had to pay $93 in total for only one appetizer and one entree that was eaten, even though nothing else was eaten and barely touched. What a complete ripoff and what awful food and service. I don't even know how this place is still in business, but if you value your time, money, and tastebuds, I highly suggest you go elsewhere.

Went on a Sunday night and only one waitress was working among with the bartender and busboy. Service was extremely slow and we there longer than anticipated. Waitress took down the wrong order for my friend and we had to send it back. When we got the correct order my friend enjoyed it, but noticed a small bug in her food. Needless to say she stopped eating and didn't want the food anymore. We didn't say anything to the waitress so we got our check and left. Since the food order was incorrect, we only got our sodas knocked off the bill.

The red curry and the crab fried rice were amazing. The crab fried rice was so fresh. The rice was light and fluffy and the real crab meat set this dish apart. The service was great and they were attentive and responded when we needed something. I would not hesitate to go back when near the water in Annapolis.
