Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

Na honderd-en-één Thaise restaurants te hebben uitgeprobeerd kan ik maar één ding concluderen: dit is de beste Thai in Amsterdam. Je kan er afhalen, maar er staat ook een stuk of tien tafeltjes waar je gezellig aan kan eten met een Chang biertje in de hand.

De service is goed en snel. In de keuken staan twee koks gekleed in witte kokspakken, gepassioneerd aan de lopende band de gerechten te maken. De keuken is open, ziet er brandschoon uit en als je afhaalt kan je precies zien wat ze in de gloeiend hete wok gooien. Al komt er soms een onbeduidend poedertje uit een bakje of een schep saus onder een deksel vandaan. Ik heb hier altijd goed gegeten. Aanraders zijn de Pad Thai met kip, Thom Ka Kai en de gele en rode curry. Pas wel op, als er drie pepertjes bij staan, is het zo heet dat de meeste mensen dit niet kunnen eten. Je kan altijd vragen of ze het minder pittig maken.

Best aan de prijs, maar dat mag ook wel voor deze kwaliteit en de hoeveelheden.

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.

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

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

Altijd heerlijk en goed eten bij Thai Deum. Zeer vriendelijk. Mijn favoriete thai.

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.

Super lekker. But they don’t accept credit cards. The food was really good though for the price.

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.

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

Great food – small price !

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!

Authentic flavors!

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.

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

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.

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

Heerlijke curry! Knus

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!

Heerlijk gegeten! Aardig personeel
Uitstekende keuze!

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

Als inwoner van Bangkok, weet ik wel wat Thai’s eten is en kan ik natuurlijk wel beoordelen of het identiek is als “thuis” en ik moet constateren dat ze niet alleen Thais’s spreken (zoals ik) maar ook echt Thai’s kunnen koken. Kortom een aanrader. Maar drink maar gewoon Heineken, doen we in Thailand ook

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 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.

The staff is very nice and the food is very good the price is also good

awfulBad foodWait 2 hourNo Visa card acceptedDon’t come

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.

My friend and I were starving and really glad we found this place not too far from where we stayed. It was just opening time and they were quite busy. I took that as a good sign. We did have to wait a bit, as they had many orders for pick up. When our food finally came we were pleased. It was delicious. If I am back in the area, I will definitely stop by here again!

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?

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!

Heerlijk eten. Traditionele uitstraling. Vriendelijk personeel.

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!

Eten was heerlijk. De serveerster was heel aardig.

Heerlijk gegeten

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.

Big FAN!!!! Thailand tast

😊😊😊

Gisteravond 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.

Original thai food. Good quality and service.

My pregnant wife and I were sat in the park when we discussed the idea of getting some thai cuisine. I had passed this restaurant on my bicycle on several occasions and so we decided to go there. The interior of the restaurant is small, ornate and quite charming. The staff were friendly and we ordered some spicy seafood soup (my pregnant wife) and a red chicken curry (me). The food was, frankly, delicious. Spicy and flavourful. Why, then, not 5 stars I hear you ask? The simple answer is that the portion sizes were slightly too small. For the price, we expected more rice and to be left full (especially as my wife is eating for two!!) We had a lovely time though. The food was high quality and we will certainly be returning to try out the rest of the menu!

Tasty and big portion! อร่อยค่ะ ข้าวผัดคือดีมากกกกกกกก อยากได้รสชาติแบบไหนทางร้านใจดีปรุงแต่งเพิ่มเติมให้ได้

The food is delicious! I just don’t like the seats very much.

Great flavours

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.👎

excellent food!

Fine Thai,Good flavors,sweet staff,

Plutôt bon. Service sympa. Tarif normaux. Je reviendrai.

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

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.

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.

Das Lokal ist recht klein, das Essen aber umso besser. Alles ist ganz frisch und es schmeckt super!

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.

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.

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.

My favorite Thai in Amsterdam! Delicious food and very kind and fast service. Great range of options, varying from chicken with ginger and mushrooms to deer or wild boar to vegetarian dishes. All served with a genuine Thai smile!
