Anne FlorenzanoJune 3, 2013Thanks Peter v! The Massaman Nua (88) WAS delicious. With the spring rolls (1) and sweet Thai spareribs (2) for appetizers it was more than enough for two. Flavorful & not too spicy.
Ying LimAugust 9, 2015Thai Tom Yam soup has excellent fresh seafood and tastes good, but doesn't taste that authentic. The basil chopped beef with peppers was great. Portions are huge for Asians so come in a group!Upvoted Oct 17
Daniil KolesnikovJune 14, 2016Portions are really big, if you want to leave a room for dessert share the main course between two people. Pad tai was delicious, beef with pineapple and mango was a bit too salty but still very good!
Kevin ShahbaziJuly 27, 2016This place is so authentic, I almost don't want to share it. It's small, crowded, cheap, fresh & delicious. I have had two of their beef curries. Amazing. Large shareable portions. No bathroom.
Majed AlashariDecember 12, 2021Small cozy place with 3 tables. I get Kia Pad Ped which was really delicious. Reasonable prices and helpful staff. They don’t accept Visa/Mastercard it is either cash or Maestro cards.
Andrea ASeptember 12, 2016Pad thai is awesome! Dishes are huge, think about sharing. The least spicy curry was too spicy for us (but we're not used to eating spicy food). There's a bird snackbar just in front, it's cheaper
Ralph WallaceOctober 1, 2014Have a real feel of the busy amsterdam nightlife while you are eating an excellent thai meal. From the window an excellent view of anything that is happening on the Zeedijk
John JampiSeptember 4, 2021Perfect authentic Thai cousin really number one 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 if you ever been in Thailand then you will feel like you are right there, the taste is absolutely mind blowing.
Laura FNovember 12, 2021Great portion sizes, big menu, popular restaurant amongst the red light district. Asked preference on spiciness of curries. Not the best drink menu but food quality made up for this
Tolga BüyükdoganaySeptember 26, 2015Amazing thai food. Coconut chicken soup is fantastic. Papaya salad is awesome. Satay and everthing was as good as in asia. Enjoy!- PaulineDecember 10, 2016Very authentic and delicious food. I can recommend the Thai milk tea. Make sure to go a little earlier if you don't want to wait in line!
Adam GrabaraAugust 23, 2015Must check the Paneng Nua. Beef and coconut milk in paneng curry. Fantastic mix of tastes...
Awesome food. Every day an other take away menu for 9 euro's, or just grab a seat. Hard to pick a dish, it's a huge menu!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Ellie MarinovaJune 12, 2016Great atmosphere! Very busy, food is fantastic though. Loved it. Prices are reasonable too. 10 euros for a big main dish.
Tips: Fish cookies, pad thai, paneng nua or beef oystersaus. I've been to almost all Thai in Amsterdam - belief me, this the only one that offers good quality food, every single time.- Tim SandersSeptember 15, 2015Massive portions but it's so delicious you'll finish all of it anyways! Awesome place and not too pricey, definitely getting the great quality and amount that you pay for.
- Stefanie LadanghOctober 21, 2016Best authentic Thai restaurant in Amsterdam in my opinion. Pad Thai and all curry dishes are to die for. Waiting in line for 30 minutes is worth it.
- Sharon van LeeuwenSeptember 29, 2014Definitely a nice thai place where you can have food quickly. This was the snackbar version, and gotta say food was really good. Loved the chicken red curry cocos dish!
The menu is so big it's hard to choose... but I will go back again and again just to try all of it. Great Thai food, a real no-brainer!
Elena KiselevaJanuary 4, 2018Try both meat and fish and order a combination which goes with steamed rice. The portion is huge for one person, better share it with your partner.- Janine BeckApril 9, 2020This is a fantastic place! They’re Curries are amazing and large. Pad Thai good although have had better. Their chilli basil was amazing.
StephanieNovember 11, 2017Really tiny spot but if you do snag a spot the food is great & really authentic. There's a small surcharge for boxing your leftover items.
M HApril 16, 2015Very good Thai food, authentic and tasty! I can only recommend everyone who visits Amsterdam to have dinner here. You should make a reservation.- Stefanie LadanghOctober 13, 2017One of the best Thai restaurants in Amsterdam. Everything is good. Often a queu outside, but worth the 20min wait.
Joffrey LacourSeptember 24, 2016If you like spicy food, you'll be in paradise. Take a fresh coconut to drink with your meal.
Marc CerratoApril 15, 2017Very authentic and delicious Thai food. Portions are big and good for sharing. Try the pad thai and the massaman curry!
Lindsey KimNovember 1, 2014Great Thai food. Some of the best I've ever had. Chicken massaman curry and the crispy fish in Penang sauce were delicious!- Remco SchroduerJanuary 21, 2017Lovely spiced food. Huge portions. Expect a queue when arriving, but it is not time spent. Building up an appetite seeing all the wonderful dishes pass
- ThisoMay 28, 2013The beef marinated with lemongrass sauce is awesome! As an Asian girl, I blindly followed the previous tipps and nobody lied. It's fresh and tasty. The main dish is enough.
Absolute best restaurant in Amsterdam!! Try the green curry tofu, pad Thai, and papaya salad for an authentic taste of Thailand!!
Marc RoodveldtOctober 18, 2012Just line up and wait. It's worth it. Red curry and nr. 49 are very nice. Portions are pretty big so share with your friends or eat to much and feel heavy.
This place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's always packed. Best Thai in Amsterdam. Order the Tom Kah Gai, it's amazing and perfect every time.- Thê-Minh TrinhApril 25, 2017Make sure the waiter got your order right. They can get confused easily. Great Thai food, especially the spicy dishes. And it's pretty cheap. Ask for a fresh coconut!
Best Thai in town. If you don't book a table the queue is usually less than 10min and worth waiting. Items #44 and #57 from the menu are my favourites.- Ozge BarcinSeptember 23, 2019We ordered 3 dishes to share and we liked them all. Red curry with prawn, beef with cashew and pad thai!
Rogelio Chong ZhaoAugust 17, 2017The soups were awesome and the fried rice with meat was amazing plus the portions were really generous as well
Sai PreetiMay 1, 2016Good, authentic, value for money Thai food. Massive portions. Share a main between 2 people, especially the rice dishes
Mark GarveyApril 17, 2015Love this place. Staff are a lot of fun and thai food is great. Always drop by when I visit Amsterdam :-)
DørteFebruary 8, 2015Best Thai food I've eaten so far. Huge Portions. The Snack bar is really crowded and small. If your lucky you'll get a seat.
Hazy HazeNovember 6, 2014Thai... thai..all thai food and all are good! Try stickyrice dessert with mango! (Kumyumemwuang).. queueing is a hell! so don't dine between 7-9pm
Schepens JanJuly 2, 2015A long waiting line but do not worry. We got a table in only 15minutes and it is worth the wait! Great food.
Karin van der MeijdenDecember 30, 2016Best Thai food in Amsterdam. It's worth waiting in line for. Snackbar across the street is my favourite
PiccololasSeptember 13, 2014Affordable, friendly and fine thai restaurant! Pad tai is excellent!! Green curry, chicken with chestnut are also good.- Monique NilsenNovember 28, 2018Amazing food and memorable experience. Great prices and portions. Some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had.
MartijnOctober 14, 201410 Years ago this was my favorite place. Amazing to see that a lot of Thai food later, it still is! Love their Lap Nua.- The food here is cheaper than the bird restaurant at the other side of the street and better too. Love it!
Andrea MitraniDecember 29, 2017Excellent lunch menu at 10€. Ask for it if they just bring the a-la-carte menu. Food is really good.
Anna KochlíkováNovember 2, 2014Excellent food for reasonable price. Paneng Kai is the best. Sometimes too crowdy but take away is also possible.
Marcos HernandezMay 2, 2015One of the best Thai restaurants in Amsterdam. Go for the beef with oysters sauce or any curry.
Damian TylczyńskiJune 14, 2017That's the best Thai place I've been so far in Europe. Prepare for something spicy. Love it!
