Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Great little restaurant. Massive menu – we asked for the best picks and were very happy with the suggestions. Excellent service! Yummy.

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.

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

Heerlijk eten. Traditionele uitstraling. Vriendelijk personeel.

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

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 🙂

Aangename ontdekking: goed eten, breed assortiment en aardig personeel

Geweldig lekker gegeten, de soepen zijn overheerlijk en op de hoofd gerechten valt helemaal niets aan te merken zelfs de prijs niet. Toppie lieve koks uit Thailand.

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….

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.

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!

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.

Awesome food and very nice people!

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

Lekker en niet duur met vriendelijke mensen

פשוט טעים

Prima

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

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

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

Heerlijke curry! Knus

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

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

Heerlijk gegeten

Authentic flavors!

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

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

The absolute _Best_Thai_ in Amsterdam!

I have been to many thai restaurants in amsterdam, and this is the one i keep coming back to.
The staff is very ! friendly, the atmosphere is excellent. The open kitchen is on the left when u enter the restaurant. The ladies in the kitchen work very hard, and the food they produce is just top notch.
You can reserve a table (dont forget, as it is very busy most of the times!) or order food to take home. No delivery unfortunately.
Please do go to this Thai restaurant if you love Thai food, their tom Kha Khai is yummmmie!!

Kap khun kha! 😉

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.

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.

Goed thais eten met vriendelijke bediening!

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".

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

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!

Really nice meal – wasn’t sure what to expect but the red and green curries were delish and the staff super friendly

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.

Original thai food. Good quality and service.

Lovely Thai restaurant

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

Awesome little place. Our favorites are the red curry with chicken and beef with long green bean. Small restaurant but worth it for the excellent food and service.

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!

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.

Would come here again when in town next!
