Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

It’s the Thai restaurant I know for many years now (more than 20?), and it’s atill one of the best in Amsterdam. The dishes taste different and nuanced and watching the same people cook with so much gusto really moves me. An all-time classic. Het is het Thaise restaurant dat ik het langste ken (meer dan 20 jaar?) en het blijft één van de beste restaurants in Amsterdam. De gerechten smaken uniek en onderscheidend en zien dat dezelfde mensen met nog steeds zoveel verve staan te koken, doet me echt iets. Een oprechte klassieker.

Wonderful people running the place and good food. I only do take away from here though.

Cute atmosphere but service was just okay and my Pad Thai tasted burnt. Chicken satays didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't return.

Fine Thai,Good flavors,sweet staff,

Stopped by Saturday at around 8:30pm and it was not very busy. The food was delicious. One of the better pad thais that I’ve had! We also ordered #162 (don’t remember the name, but it is beef with onions, mushrooms, and chilis) and I liked that too. We decided to make this our Go To Thai place.

Great food – small price !

Heerlijke curry! Knus

Heerlijk eten, en ze doen er alles aan om het vlug mee tegeven. … More

The staff has limited English, but very hospitable. Coconut curry dishes were absolutely amazing! The Exotic Thai decor is very tasteful. Excellent value for money.The only drawback is that they don’t take credit card, do prepare some cash for your visit.

This has been our favorite Thai in Holland for about a decade now. The one dish you have to try – as we’ve found it to be one of the best ever – is Pad Thai: thin noodles, own recipe for fish sauce, spicy yet super flavorful, not oily but “dry” yet stir fried. When you check other reviewers you’ll see the Pad Thai mentioned often. That’s for a reason.Super nice & sweet people, great service, and very hard working. Love them!

awful Bad food Wait 2 hour No Visa card accepted Don’t come

Couldn’t have gotten better food even in Thailand, we had a 5 course meal, and everything was truly authentic.

3 dollars for tap water. Scumbags!

Heerlijk gegeten

Viskoekjes en rode curry echt heerlijk

Oh my great love, dearest Thai food.

Bij Thai Deum kom ik aan mijn wekelijkse portie Thai food 🙂
Niet de aller aller allerbeste van Amsterdam, maar wel zeker een zeer goede competitor!

De curry's zijn heerlijk! Maar weet je wat echt superrrrr lekker is?

De soepjes!! Jammie jammie. Kokos met garnalen, kip of vega, maakt niet uit. Allemaal even lekker. Even de stukken gember en citroengras er tussenuit vissen, dat dan weer wel.

5 eurotjes voor 1 portie.
Heerlijk voor de zondagmiddag als je toch al uitgebreid geborreld hebt.

We have been eating/ ordering here for the last 11 years. Consistently good authentic food and excellent service. It’s a family run business, with various members all doing their bit behind the open kitchen, but making sure to stop to thank you on entering and exiting.

Only downside is that they don’t deliver, but this could be due to a number of reasons, including quality control, but I find the walk to them always worth it at the end.

I would also argue the best Tod-man and yam neau in Amsterdam!

Heerlijk Thais eten. Authentieke sfeer. Super-vriendelijke mensen die er werken. Hangt een familiaire sfeer. Absoluut een aanrader.

Geen idee wat er aan de hand is. We hebben hier vaker heerlijk eten afgehaald, maar de laatste keer waren de gerechten flets en de ingrediënten – rijst en groenten – duidelijk niet vers. Toch 2 sterren vanwege eerdere kwaliteit.

Heerlijk Thais gegeten met goede versbereidde authentieke gerechten, en niet te vet. Bediening was ook zeer vriendelijk!

Lekker Thais gegeten, bediening was prettig en snel. Ik had de groene curry met kip, Thaise groenten en rijst. Het was voldoende maar niet een overdreven grote portie.
Aankleding was Ok, niet echt gezellig, maar het eten maakte veel goed.

Just like Thailand. Perfect Thai food. Ask fot Thai spicy.

Heerlijk eten. Traditionele uitstraling. Vriendelijk personeel.

Geweldig lekker gegeten, de soepen zijn overheerlijk en op de hoofd gerechten valt helemaal niets aan te merken zelfs de prijs niet. Toppie lieve koks uit Thailand.

Bof

Went with 4 people. Very cozy vibe, portion sizes were very generous and reasonably priced. Did have to wait a bit for the food, but you can tell that it’s made with love, fresh from the kitchen. Vegetarian options: Lots of soups, noodles and fried rice dishes for vegetarians.

I’ve come here 3 separate times on 3 separate trips. Every time fantastic.

Goed thais eten met vriendelijke bediening!

Do not get the Thai tea here. I watched them literally pour 1/4 black oishi tea from a bottle and called it thai tea. What an up charge for just store bought tea… Then I asked to order a fried egg and the waiter told me it would cost 2.50 and the cooks didn't have time to make the fried egg…

The pad thai tasted good but was disappointed and felt deceived on their version of "Thai tea".

Heerlijke maaltijden voor een goeie prijs. In mijn ogen het beste thaise restaurant in Amsterdam. Voor een ieder die geen zin heeft om te koken een top uitkomst om of te halen of snel een hapje te gaan eten.

Heel gezellig en heerlijke cuisine! De medewerkers zijn gastvrije en de keuken was heel leker! Een aanrader in Amsterdam!! Haartelijk bedankt!

Best authentic Thai cuisine

Tasty little place for Thai food. This place is super tiny. Maybe 10ish tables and few of them Abe to accommodate large parties unless you get lucky. So, (especially) if you have more than 4 people and/or definitely want to get a table, call ahead for a reservation. The menu was larger than expected but tasty even though the dishes I was used to were prepared differently than I am used to.

Came here on the recommendation of other yelpers. Can't say that my experience was as good as theirs. Staff were friendly enough but we found the food way over seasoned with salt and pepper. I was not expecting the use of vermicelli for pad noodle dishes. The batter to fish ratio was way too high and could hardly taste the fish.

This difference in experience may be due to local tastes?

Heerlijk gegeten bij Thai Deum, goede kwaliteit met Laotiaans tintje.

I’ve been coming here since I just moved to Amsterdam 2,5 years ago. Until today, Thai Deum is still my favourite Thai restaurant in Amsterdam: delicious food for very reasonable prices. Their green curry is unbeatable. I’ll keep on being a loyal customer. See you soon!

We went here during the week and it wasn't real busy, only about half the tables were occupied. We ordered appetizers, soup and a main, and the timing on the dishes was perfect. The soups I thought were spicier then the 1 star heating rating, while the mains were less spicy then the menu lead you to believe, but despite this all the food was delicious. The service was a bit frantic as the waitress also worked the kitchen, but still friendly and helpful. Would definitly go back.

Friendly staff, took us without a reservation at peak dinner hours on a Saturday night. Unfortunately the service is incredibly slow- you can see into the kitchen so you'll notice they have a ridiculous number of take out orders. That's all fine but that plus the lack of staff (one waiter for the entire restaurant from 6:30-8pm!) makes it way too slow. 5-10 mins for a menu, 20 mins to take our order another 30-40 mins for food to come out. Then the food was ok, not mind blowing at all. Under spiced. Saw food come out piping hot- our red curry did but the spring rolls were lukewarm. The latter was better than the former though. Friendly staff but I wouldn't come back.

The food was very good however the service was lacking. We were seated quickly and our order was taken. The food was delivered quickly however after that the staff got very busy with take away orders. I think we waited 30-40 minutes for our bill.

Been back every year at IBC time since being introduced to this resturant.
Food is incredibly fresh and flavorful and basically cooked in front of you or at least in plain site. Its not far from the Okura where my company stays every year and I always “sneak” away for some of it.

This visit I had Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, and Chicken Fried Rice- I packed and left with approx 50% of what I was served boxed up, and it made for a great late nite meal at the hotel.

The Pad Thai was superb, crunchy veggies, fresh onion, and egg with the right amount of meat, the noodles had justest right amount of firmness. Fantastic.

Rice- Same, superb. Spring rolls, excellent.

The portions are generous, (and Im an American) and I’ve never left hungry.

Bring cash –

If you are in Amsterdam its worth the walk, ride, or cab to try it.

food is excellent!! 10/10
am in Amsterdam several times a month with co workers and have lately had the absolute rudest server. will not return if she is working. usually Wed/Thurs

Wat een heerlijk klein écht Thais restaurantje. De ontvangst en het vaarwel blijven je door het heerlijke enthousiasme absoluut bij….
Het eten (Pad Thai) was heerlijk. De sfeer is is niet meer helemaal van nu, maar ik hou er wel van…. Je waant je weer even in Thailand….

Cute atmosphere but service was just okay and my Pad Thai tasted burnt. Chicken satays didn’t have much flavor. I wouldn’t return.

Lekker en niet duur met vriendelijke mensen

Fantastic authentic food! Generous portions and incredibly tasty!ֶ

Not the best tasting aperitives (fishcakes and prawns) but spring rolls and chicken OK. Duck was ok-ish and pad thai was good. Overall a bit lacking relative to price. Service was nice and friendly and the place cosy.

After some very disappointing Indonesian food, I was really hoping to have at least one good Asian meal in Amsterdam before I left.
This is THE place – ordered the green curry with prawns extra spicy. It was perfect!
I was drinking the leftover gravy after devouring everything else. And coconut ice cream which was ok.
So glad I found this place and gave it a shot.
Super nice server – family run so might be a bit of a wait to take your order and for the food to show up. But totally worth it.

Authentic flavors!

We’ve eaten here over the years and it is a neighborhood staple! We often order to go and get pad thai and green curry. The pad thai is on the drier side (less saucy) which is just how we like it. Eating in is also fun with a nice dining area and also the kitchen up front!

Goed Thai’s eten , vriendelijke bediening.Zeker de moeite waard. Prijs kwaliteit is hier zeker goed.Hou er rekening mee, betalen cash of bankkaart. Geen krediet kaard. Gelukkig zit een pin om de hoek.

De owners are the worst. I saw them treating. their staff very rudely and unethically, They come across in front of the customers very nice but in reality they treat very unkindly to the people who work under them in the kitchen. Not nice people so never going there back. Going there means supporting abuse so a big NO.👎

Aangename ontdekking: goed eten, breed assortiment en aardig personeel

Great flavours

Bij dit restaurant haal ik al jaren Thais. Het is erg klein maar wil je echt Thais eten moet je hier zijn. Naast erg vriendelijk personeel is het eten echt super.
Vind de prijs soms een beetje aan de hoge kant maar de kwaliteit maakt het goed.
Erg jammer dat ze hun restaurant in Amstelveen hebben gesloten.
Geen geld om naar Thailand te gaan ga dan hier heen het komt het dichtste bij in de buurt van de Thaise ervaring.

I love it. My friend had mixed opinions. It was too spicy for her but many things are.
It’ a small place so it smells great and really works up your appetite. The kitchen it right up front. It’s clean and fun to watch the cooks at work.
I’ve tried a couple of the vegetarian dishes and always enjoyed them.
I’ve always liked the coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell but the last time we ordered it looked old and freezer burned like it had been sitting in the back of fridge for months. When we pointed it out they were quite nice, and apologized saying it was the last one but didn’t charge us for it.

We waited for our food for 2 hours. They don’t accept visa debit card and credit card. They wont let you know at the beginning.

Beste Thai v A’dam

The absolute _Best_Thai_ in Amsterdam!

I have been to many thai restaurants in amsterdam, and this is the one i keep coming back to.
The staff is very ! friendly, the atmosphere is excellent. The open kitchen is on the left when u enter the restaurant. The ladies in the kitchen work very hard, and the food they produce is just top notch.
You can reserve a table (dont forget, as it is very busy most of the times!) or order food to take home. No delivery unfortunately.
Please do go to this Thai restaurant if you love Thai food, their tom Kha Khai is yummmmie!!

Kap khun kha! 😉
