Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

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

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?

Vanavond hier eten afgehaald. Ben een erg grote fan van pad thai en ben zelfs speciaal naar Bangkok gevlogen om het te eten. Dat hoeft nu niet meer, want je kan hier overheerlijke pad thai eten. Super groot portie ook. Echt een aanrader. En de mensen zijn ook super lief en vriendelijk. Dikke duim voor jullie

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

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

3 dollars for tap water. Scumbags!

Heerlijk gegeten! Aardig personeelUitstekende keuze!

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.

Very friendly staff, the food is very good and clean 🙂

Voor €40,- aan Thais eten gehaald bij deze tent. Eerste en laatste keer! Groente is zo groot en rauw, KrabPauw zou ik besteld hebben. Ik krijg toaal wat anders. Komt niet eens in de buurt. Ananas in de currie, echt not done ook!

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!

Disappointment!!!I was badly surprised today taking away dinner from them, when I realised the the dishes became so small.I was still hungry after the dinner.I am not going back there if they think they can charge the same and provide much less.

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.

awfulBad foodWait 2 hourNo Visa card acceptedDon’t come

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.

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.

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.

Horrible. Portions are a joke for the expensive price you put and the food is no good. Worst part is, when you give feedback the chef gets angry and screams at you. Such a terrible place, should be shut down!

Simpelweg lekker

Ordered: Phad Thai Deum, tom kha koen

Serving time: appetizers 13 minutes, main dishes 34 minutes

A decent Thai restaurant, but nothing extraordinary. Food quality is good, serving time rather disappointing. Would I visit this place again? Only if I’m around.

Heerlijk gegeten

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

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.

Goed thais eten met vriendelijke bediening!

Perfect zoals altijdDe beste thai van Amsterdam!Super lekker alles versSuper aardige eigenaar!

A wonderfully authentic Thai taste for those with a love for Thai food. This is run by a Thai couple who are also the chefs. You can’t get much more authentic than this! A must try and you will be hooked Tom-Yum soup with Prawn is a big hit!

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.

Fantastic authentic food! Generous portions and incredibly tasty!ֶ

excellent food!

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

Heerlijk gegeten. Geweldige pad thai. Het is een wandelingetje meer dan waard om dan met een glimlach bediend te worden.

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.

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!

Aangename ontdekking: goed eten, breed assortiment en aardig personeel

Prima

Delicious food. My husband and I had a staple Thai place back in the states and I have no doubt this will become our staple in Amsterdam! Inside was very cozy with eclectic decorations. Food came quickly and staff was very friendly. Please note they do not take credit cards.

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!

Great homemade Thai food (without MSG!), very kind personnel and great atmosphere.

Ottimo ristorante Thai ad Amsterdam, le zuppe sono fantastiche, buoni anche i padthai, ed i piatti in abbinamento alle pietanze con il curry. Prezzo onesto, è possibile cenare all’esterno del locale.

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!

Gutes Essen, netter Service, passable Preise

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.

Lovely Thai restaurant

Kip cashew was heerlijk. Rode curry ook erg lekker. Gegeten in het restaurant.

Sinds mijn favoriete Thai in de Pijp (Siriphon, wat een gemis) permanent gesloten is heb ik het tot nu toe twee keer geprobeerd bij Thai Deum, maar die komen helaas niet in de buurt en valt echt tegen in vergelijk met vroeger. Waar zijn de Thaise smaken? En waarom is het allemaal zo flauw? Ik heb het gevoel dat er om economische redenen wordt gekozen voor goedkope ingrediënten, want anders kan ik het niet verklaren.

Ik ga het nog een of twee keer proberen want misschien was ik daar niet op het juiste moment, maar als het dan niet beter is, ga ik op zoek naar een andere Thai. Want voor mindere kwaliteit dan bij Siriphon doe ik het namelijk niet meer en zou jij ook niet moeten doen.

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.

Fine Thai,Good flavors,sweet staff,

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….

Authentiek Thais eten, vers gekookt, vers en smakelijk, ik begrijp niet waarom niemand dit restaurant kent? Ik hoop dat meer mensen ervoor kunnen kiezen om de groene curry kiprijst, Thaise garnalen gebakken rijst, heel goed te proberen👍❤️

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.

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.

First–I am not comparing this to actual Thai food, I came here fully expecting subpar interpretation of mass produced Thai food for Westerners–it is awful by that standard. It is awful by the standard of what I would expect to be served on a discount Asian airline. Expect parang curry without sauce. Or pad Thai without peanuts or spring rolls without any filling…it's the Thai food equivalent of what can be microwaved. Here's the best part–when we told them it wa bad. They said it was my problem. They should apologize the the kind people Thailand for making their food so bad.

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.

My favorite thai resturant in Amsterdam. Their fried rice is the best in town , it’s exactly like in Thailand even better than some resturant in Thailand i could say ! (Im thai so i know it 😂) Highly recommend to visit and tried thier food , the chefs are really friendly and polite. You won’t regret going there for sure, i garantee it:)

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.

Lekker Thais eten, de gebakken rijst alleen al is lekker

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".

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.

Conflicted on how to rate this place… Is it good Thai food? 3 stars. Is it good food? Maybe 4 stars. I got the chicken and shrimp rolls to start and then the chicken pad Thai. The rolls – they come out right when they are ready, so wait for them to cool a bit. The rolls were good. The sweet chili dipping sauce was on the bland side and very one dimensional (basically just sweet). The pad Thai was just meh. First they don't use the right noodles. Second it was on the saltier side and once again, one dimensional flavor. I was missing the subtle undertone flavors that make pad Thai great. Not sure if it had chopped peanuts or bean sprouts, if it did, it was not noticeable. At first I thought maybe my Americanized palette was used to Americanized Thai food. But then I thought of my trip to Thailand – food in Thailand has even more fuller flavors. Maybe I was spoiled living in California all my life and need to adjust to Amsterdam.

Also, I asked for hot sauce and they gave me this salty liquid with peppers. It was good but wanted something more like sambal or sriracha, but my fault. I should have asked if they had other hot sauces. The hot sauce made it better, but also saltier.
