Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

As a huge fan of Thai food, I’m always on the lookout for new places to try in Amsterdam. Every now and then, you come across a restaurant that truly stands out—and Thai Deum is definitely one of those places.

I ordered the Neua Nam-Man-Hooy and asked if they could make it extra spicy. Not only did they happily accommodate my request, but when I jokingly asked if they could make it extra extra spicy, they brought me freshly made Prik Nam Pla. That level of care and authenticity immediately won me over.

The food was simply divine. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and it genuinely tasted like it had been made with love. This was hands down one of the most flavorful Thai dishes I’ve had in Amsterdam.

What made the experience even better was the service. The team was incredibly welcoming, and I had a lovely conversation with the lady behind the cash register. It’s those personal touches that turn a great meal into a memorable experience.

Exceptional food, wonderful people, and a genuine passion for what they do. This was definitely not my last visit to Thai Deum—I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu!

Zeer goed eten voor een goede prijs!

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.

I’ve had dinner here and ordered takeaway numerous times. The food is tasty and reasonably priced with more authentic flavors than what you often encounter in Amsterdam. The interior is a bit old but charming and the atmosphere very relaxed. The service is friendly. My only issue is that servings of rice are a bit small and I think it’s odd to charge for extra but it’s not a big deal.

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

The cooking is fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was nice.

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.

Great food!! Nice atmosphere

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!

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.👎

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".

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

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!

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

Flauwe rode curry. De vegetarische saté was niet lekker. En goedkoop smakende sprongrollen. Al met al zonde van mijn geld!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Fantastic authentic food! Generous portions and incredibly tasty!ֶ

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.

4 US tourists, picked on proximity to hotel. Very positive experience Great food. Great service. Very small typical thai restaurant, cooking right in front of shop. Lots of takeout so i orders arrived a little slow but we were in no hurry so no big deal

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.

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

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

Nice food

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!

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

awfulBad foodWait 2 hourNo Visa card acceptedDon’t come

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.

Tasty Thai food. Good service.

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.

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.

Fantastic food

Eten was heerlijk. De serveerster was heel aardig.

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.

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

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!

Lekker en niet duur met vriendelijke mensen

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.

Awesome food and very nice people!

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!

Viskoekjes en rode curry echt heerlijk

😊😊😊

Top !!!

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!

Heerlijk gegeten

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

Prima

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

Tasty and big portion! อร่อยค่ะ ข้าวผัดคือดีมากกกกกกกก อยากได้รสชาติแบบไหนทางร้านใจดีปรุงแต่งเพิ่มเติมให้ได้

Best, most authentic Thai I have had in Amsterdam so far. Easy for a vegetarian. Everything I have had has tons of flavor. Sometimes it is more sweet or spicy than other times but I just specify and it's perfect. The ladies who cook are all very sweet. As with many places in Amsterdam, it can take what feels like forever to get your food but it's worth the wait.

Echt maar 3 sterren waard.
De curry was goed. De sate werd niemand blij van en de pad thai was ook medium.

Pluspunt geen plastic bakjes!

One of the best thai restaurants in town. Great staff great stuff

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

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.

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.
