Thai Deum is a Thai Specialty Restaurant

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!

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!

Great food – small price !

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

Heerlijke curry! Knus

Original thai food. Good quality and service.

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

Great flavours

Gutes Essen, netter Service, passable Preise

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.

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

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 🙂

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:)

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.

Eten was heerlijk. De serveerster was heel aardig.

Sfeer klein restaurant, heerlijk eten !

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

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 🙂

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

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

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.

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.

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! 😉

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

Prima

Good authentic Thai food. We had the tom yam goong and pork green curry, which were nice. The restaurant is a little understaffed though. Takes a bit of time to put your order.

Authentic restaurant and food. Good quality. Service is this case was pretty bad, delivered wrong choice (chicken vs Shrimp). Waiter appeared very pushy, almost aggressive and unfriendly when he wanted to close restaurant. This should be improved!

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

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!

Viskoekjes en rode curry echt heerlijk

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!

The food here ranges from very solid to unbelievably delicious. The Tom Ka Khai soup in particular is a bowl of absolute lusciousness and will make you fall in love with Thai food all over again. Chicken satay are a little more delicious than average. One of the house "speciality" dishes, wild boar with red curry, was very good, and chock full of veggies, although my hubs found the boar itself a little tough. On another visit we tried green curry chicken as a comparison, and it had far fewer veggies and, perhaps as a result, not as complex or deep a flavor as the red curry boar. Spicy beef salad was a bit different that I am accustomed to, being made with ground beef rather than sliced, but the flavor was good, if a tiny bit too spicy for me. Tell them your spice level, because they work hard to then customize to you. The kitchen is right up and front and you can see, hear and smell all the cooking – a wonderful appetizer! The ladies running the kitchen could not be sweeter or more impressive with their works, and the server is also very friendly and remembered us after our first visit. This is *just* the kind of place I wish I had in my neighborhood, and would come here every week or two if I did. Stop by and enjoy.

Tasty and big portion! อร่อยค่ะ ข้าวผัดคือดีมากกกกกกกก อยากได้รสชาติแบบไหนทางร้านใจดีปรุงแต่งเพิ่มเติมให้ได้

Prima prijzen en lekker eten.

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

Lekker Thais eten, de gebakken rijst alleen al is lekker

Heerlijk gegeten! Aardig personeelUitstekende keuze!

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.

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.

De beste Thai van Amsterdam. Ga zelf proeven en genieten.

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👍❤️

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

Nice food

Lekker en niet duur met vriendelijke mensen

Not the best tasting aperitives (fishcakes and prawns) but spring rolls and chicken OK. Duck was ok-ish and pad thai was good. Overall a bit lacking relative to price. Service was nice and friendly and the place cosy.

Lovely Thai restaurant

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?

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

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!

Cute atmosphere but service was just okay and my Pad Thai tasted burnt. Chicken satays didn’t have much flavor. I wouldn’t return.

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.

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.

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.

😊😊😊

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