- 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!read moreread lessAlbert Herman2/21/2022Tasty 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.read moreread lessBreana McGowan4/17/2023

Could not be happier. The staff were amazing and smiling always. Food was very good and wine filled to brim. Had the fish cake and squid with basil. Next time will ask for more basil. Staff makes it!! Very busy so expect for wait but worth the wait.read moreread less

Loved this place! Came here because we were nearby & based on previous yelp reviews. Delicious!!! It's a small restaurant…only 2 cooks (that are right in front of you) and one server. Lots of people coming in for take away. If you come with a larger party it might take a bit to get everyone's meal but it's totally worth it. Lady serving tables was workin' her butt off and very sweet. Go & enjoy!read moreread less
Denise G.8/24/2014 - Great homemade Thai food (without MSG!), very kind personnel and great atmosphere.read moreread lessTine Jensen3/21/2020Gisteravond na het werk met een collega wilden wij eten halen. Beiden bestelden wij een saté en ok bestelde een losse bak gebakken rijst. Het gezamenlijke bedrag was €18 ( 2x€7 voor de saté en €4 voor de bevallen rijst) na afrekenen en wachten op ons eten vertelde de jonge man dat ik nog €11 moest betalen… ik vroeg waarom waarop hij mij vertelde dat dat nog betaald moest worden voor de gebakken rijst……
Dus ik betaal €15 euro voor een bakkie rijst vroeg ik hem. Waarom de eigenaresse en de kok mij de wind van voren gaven en zeiden dat je geen rijst alleen kan bestellen, alleen volledige menu’s. Prima zei ik maar zeg het dan alvorens je afrekend…. Dan heb ik een keuze het wel of niet te doen. De vrouw en kok bleven schreeuwen en vonden dit kennelijk normaal. Na de vraag van de jonge man of wij ons eten nog wilden hebben wij vriendelijk bedankt, geld terig gekregen en weggegaan. Mij zie je hier niet meer, jammer want ik moet heel eerlijk zeggen dat hun eten goed is dus raad ik het mbt het eten een ieder nog steeds aan maar de manier waarop ik door de kok en ( mogelijk) eigenaresse werd bejegend was ronduit onbeschoft. De jonge man was overigens erg behulpzaam en wilde de boel sussen, mijn respect voor hem.read moreread lessMichael 186311/16/2022 - Food tasted ok, although very small potions for that price. What we were very borher about was that we were waiting more that 1 hour for the food and we kept seeing delivery orders going out from our table. So in the hours we were waiting for the food more than 10 orders went out to be delivered.. staff is friendly but not coming back definetly.read moreread lessLea G4/17/2023
- Antoinette Kat3/21/2021interior is lovely, you can see them cook your food at the front with the open kitchen, and the decor was very authentic. plates and cutlery really reflected Thailand too!
service was great, speedy and attentive, staff were really friendly.
food was great although a bit sweet for me. good spice levels and very tasty – still authentic 🙂read moreread lessBiggie Barry5/21/2026 -
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.read moreread less

The service was okay at first as my apetizer came pretty fast, a tom yam soup. But then the main dishes took forever to make. I estimate we were waiting for more than an hour in total for those.
When they finally came, 2 curries, one green and one red, they turned out very bland and not the usual level of spiciness that I'd expect from a Thai restaurant. Especially the green curry was a disappointment.
I'm not going back here, sadly, as I liked the ambiance and the way they laid out the tables.read moreread less
Piet V.2/13/2015 - I order Laab Kai and Tom Yak Plaa for takeaway. The people in the restaurant were extremely friendly, typical Thai.The food was wonderful, the Laab Kai could have used a bit more fish sauce. I would give 4,5 stars if possible but as that’s not possible -> 5 stars.read moreread lessJoel Wetterhahn3/21/2021
Normally good food, however, the has been getting service particularly awful. They take too many takeout orders and accept too many people walking in and staff is so reduced that wait times are extended to over an hour. Food was not as great as was the case before because they were so rushed- they're just throwing the ingredients together. Never again. Sorry guys you lost us.read moreread less

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.read moreread less
Uncle D.1/01/1970Not 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.read moreread lessAntti Moksi3/21/2019
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?read moreread less

- Nice quiet place where you can talk. Friendly owners. Food lacked flavour and freshness. Pad Thai had burned vegetables. Couldn’t taste the basil in the Kra-pauw.read moreread lesschristopher pugmire10/17/2025
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.read moreread less
Anna M.11/07/2015 - Goed gegeten bij dit Thais restaurant aan de ceintuurbaan. De locatie is makkelijk bereikbaar met ov, met de auto wat minder vanwege de beperkte parkeergelegenheid. We zij rond 19uur zonder reservering binnengelopen en hadden het geluk dat we een tafel kregen, iets later zat de zaal vol.
We bestelden verschillende voorgerechten en twee hoofdgerechten. De masaman en een gerecht met zwijn. De voorgerecht waren goed op smaak. De masaman was prima maar heb het wel beter gegeten. Het zwijngerecht heb ik niet geproefd maar degene die hem had was er erg blij mee.
De sfeer in de zaak is gemoedelijk en inrichting voelt authentiek aan.read moreread lessXander Uit het zicht6/03/2025 -
The food here ranges from very solid to unbelievably delicious. The Tom Ka Khai soup in particular is a bowl of absolute lusciousness and will make you fall in love with Thai food all over again. Chicken satay are a little more delicious than average. One of the house "speciality" dishes, wild boar with red curry, was very good, and chock full of veggies, although my hubs found the boar itself a little tough. On another visit we tried green curry chicken as a comparison, and it had far fewer veggies and, perhaps as a result, not as complex or deep a flavor as the red curry boar. Spicy beef salad was a bit different that I am accustomed to, being made with ground beef rather than sliced, but the flavor was good, if a tiny bit too spicy for me. Tell them your spice level, because they work hard to then customize to you. The kitchen is right up and front and you can see, hear and smell all the cooking – a wonderful appetizer! The ladies running the kitchen could not be sweeter or more impressive with their works, and the server is also very friendly and remembered us after our first visit. This is *just* the kind of place I wish I had in my neighborhood, and would come here every week or two if I did. Stop by and enjoy.read moreread less

i'm soo happy there's a yummy thai place in my hood! my litmus test for a good thai restaurant is their pad thai. i'm happy to say their pad thai is delicious. the sauce is wonderful and squeeze a lime all over that and it's even better. i also got the basic thai salad with chicken. it wasn't the typical green papaya salad but just a lettuce salad with veggies and chicken. the salad itself is nothing special, they use iceburg. BUT… the dressing on it is out of this world. i was almost going to ask if i could buy some of it. it turned an ordinary salad into something unforgettable. i like the coziness of this place. it's not large but not to small with a wood interior and exterior. they have a full bar too! the kitchen is up front right when you walk in which is very smart. you're immediately hit with the fragrance of thai food. i wouldn't say this place is good for large groups but for 2-6 ppl tops.
the staff and chefs are all very friendly. when i'm in the mood for thai and i don't want to venture to far from home this is the place. they also do a lot of to go orders. i made sure to get a to go menu for those nights you just want to oink out at home 🙂read moreread less

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.read moreread less

In Amsterdam for work and this place was close to our hotel so we decided to give it a try!
Right off the bat the service was great – the server was really helpful in navigating the menu and helping with suggestions.
The ambiance is cozy and warm and we felt very comfortable the whole meal.
Our party landed on two orders of Pad Suey (they use much smaller noodles than we are use to) but everyone agreed it was just a good! I had the red vegetable curry with rice. Very tasty…it also felt a little more healthy (less rich) than I am use to from the U.S.
Would come here again when in town next!read moreread less
