Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

Köik oli magus ei olnud maitsed tasakaalus.

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.

Ik ben helaas nog nooit in Thailand geweest! Dus ik heb jammer genoeg nog geen kennis mogen maken met de 'echte' Thaise culinaire hoogstandjes! Conclusie: Ik zal het moeten doen met de menig Thaise eettentjes hier in Amsterdam. Gelukkig heb ik er nu een gevonden die ik jullie absoluut niet wil onthouden. Thai Deum op de Ceintuurbaan!

Een restaurantje waar je eerder voorbij loopt omdat het er niet heel aanlokkelijk uitziet. Bij Thai Deum moet je de uitspraak 'less is more' in de oren knopen. Want wat ze niet waarmaken met betrekking tot de ambiance, doen ze absoluut wel met betrekking tot het eten. Als je een ultiem fan bent van de Thaise keuken dan zal je een avond Thai Deum moeten inplannen. Ben je niet in de stemming om je tussen de mensen te begeven, kan je ook afhalen!!
De keuken van Thai Deum is open dus je kan fijn gluren om te kijken hoe zei jouw eten bereiden. De samenwerking van de dames en heren is leuk om te zien. Als de bediening even bezig is met de drankjes, brengt de chef het culinaire hapje persoonlijk naar je tafel. Thai Deum heeft een uitgebreide menukaart. Vaak blijf ik trouw aan mijn favorieten gerechten en daar ben ik dan ook altijd over te spreken.

Mensen dit is een top Thai! Gewoon doen!

Goede Thai maar waarom zijn de garnalen gerechten zo prijzig?129. Koeng Yai Chu-chee ** no.6-8 (3st.) € 28,50 Grote garnalen in een rode kerriesaus130. Koeng Yai Phad Hed-Sod * no.6-8 (3st.) € 28,50 Geb. grote garnalen met champignons en bosuien131. Koeng Yai Phad Phong Karie * no.6-8 (3st.) € 28,50 Geb. grote garnalen met ei, bosuien en kerriepoederDeze drie gerechten waren altijd rond de 16 euro en opeens was daar deze prijsverhoging. Onacceptabel!

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.

Prima

Heerlijk en beetje bijzonder gegeten (eend en phad Thai). Supervriendelijk personeel. Was lang niet hier geweest en heb daar spijt van!

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.

Awesome food and very nice people!

I lived in Thailand for four years and this is the only place I can justify spending western prices on Thai dishes. I think the food is delicious and authentic. An absolute gem in my mind.

We were staying very close to this restaurant and decided to eat there on our first night in Amsterdam – fantastic thai. Beef massaman was lovely, as was the pad thai and red chicken curry. Special mention for the chicken and prawn spring rolls and satay chicken, totally delicious. Reminded us of our favourite thai restaurant at home. Super fast service but we were there early, not sure what it would be like when the place was full.

We hebben daar met zijn tweeën gegeten en we zijn teleurgesteld in onze verwachtingen. De service was spijtig: Straalt geen sfeer uit, bediening is soms onduidelijk en het is vooral niet gezellig. Het eten was ‘oké’, maar niet meer dan dat. Prijs/kwaliteit voor ons niet meer voor herhaling vatbaar.

Ordered: Phad Thai Deum, tom kha koenServing time: appetizers 13 minutes, main dishes 34 minutesA 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 eten voor een hele leuke prijs. Super lieve mensen. Je moet echt weten dat het restaurant er zit maar als je er eenmaal bent geweest. Toppers. Rijst in de vorm van een hart op je bord.

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.

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.

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

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.

Disappointment!!!

Delicious food, with quick and friendly service. A wide and varied menu with plenty of vegetarian options. The decor and ambiance were wonderful as well. The kitchen is open so you can watch the cooks from your table if you would like. We will definitely be coming back.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Great flavours

interior 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 🙂

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

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👍❤️

I called and ordered the Tom kha Kai soup. The lady on the phone was super friendly and welcoming. Upon collection, again lovely and genuine service. The soup itself was fresh, delicious and authentic!

Heerlijk eten

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

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.

Heerlijk gegeten! Aardig personeelUitstekende keuze!

Authentic Thai and really warm service.

Goed thais eten met vriendelijke bediening!

Authentieke Thaise gerechtenHier wordt nog gekookt op de echte manier dus geen standaard aangedikte sauzen die er door worden geroerd, maar verfijnd door elk gerecht de aandacht te geven tot het op de juiste smaak is gebracht. Voor vegans is er genoeg keuze ook. Een echte aanrader als meer dan 25 jaar in Amsterdam

A Chef with a clear passion for Thai food. I love her cooking!

Authentic flavors!

Sfeer klein restaurant, heerlijk eten !

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?

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.

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.👎

Nice food

Zeer goed eten voor een goede prijs!

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!

Een paar jaar geleden had ik hier ook al is gegeten en was is ziek geworden toen ik thuis kwam. Toen met mijn nieuwe partner ben ik weer is gaan eten op zijn aanraden maar was al niet zo vol meer van deze Thai aangezien de eerste keer eten daar me echt doodziek heeft gemaakt maar goed. Daar aan gekomen had ik een soep Tom Yang koeng besteld en een salade met kip gehakt met Thaise kruiden. De soep kreeg ik later dan mijn hoofdgerecht en proefde naar niets echt rioolwater zou nog beter smaken. En de kipgehakt salade was ook niet te eten en er zaten kruiden in met een vieze na smaak. Vriendelijk melden ik dat ik niet tegen de kruiden kon die ze er in hadden gedaan en toen zei de bedienster / kok ja daar kan ik niks aan doen dat is een traditionele Thaise salade. Ik had echt iets van pardon ik was zo woest. Echt een slechte service en klant onvriendelijk. Eet daar nooit meer! Ieder ander restaurant zou wat improviseren of je compenseren op de bon. Maar nee hoor gewoon de volle pond betalen van iets waar ik letterlijk maar 1 hap van had gegeten. Invervolg eet ik alleen maar bij Naan Naam in oud zuid waar ze goede service en heerlijk eten hebben.

excellent food!

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

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!

Drama voedsel, schandalig voor de thaise keuken, dit wat ze verkopen heeft niks met de thaise keuken te maken, Drama !!!

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

Teeny tiny portions, very expensive. This place is 1 block from my old home. It was always disappointing knowing that the local Thai place wasn't worth going to

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.

Lekker Thais eten, de gebakken rijst alleen al is lekker

Excellent Thai food

Is een van onze favoriete plekken geworden. Altijd goede kwaliteit.

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

Eten was heerlijk. De serveerster was heel aardig.

Nice Thai place in De Pijp. Service and the cooks were great. The ladies constantly checked on the food's flavor while they cooked. They put a lot of effort into the two dishes we ordered, the pad Thai and the beef curry. The result? Pipin' hot and fresh but too salty. I just wanted to keep drinking something after the meal. The spicy rating should be adjusted by removing a star in the current system. Again, too salty.

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