Fem HeemskerkFebruary 29, 2016This place is amazing! Friendly people, great thai food, if not the best I have tasted in Amsterdam. Definitely going back. You can order your food next door as take away as well.
Lucille FisherNovember 29, 2017Authentic Thai-from food to the friendly service. The red duck curry, som tam & the mixed veggies w/ cashew tasted just like it would in Bangkok. My current favorite Thai restaurant in Amsterdam.
Elise HAugust 16, 2014The green curry chicken is absolutely delicious, super tasty and delicate as well as spicy. Staff is really nice. Be sure to book a table on Saturday nights, it is crowded (bit worth the wait!)
BulutMarch 15, 2022We tried the set menu #1. The menu had different starters and 4 main dishes. The ending was with a banana desert. Overall we really liked the experience and highly recommend it.
Mandy DyeJanuary 5, 2020Green chicken curry with bamboo shoots and eggplant and red spicy chicken curry. They even provided extra spice on the side ! Very accommodating.
Maikel AlinkOctober 26, 2014ON the menu 19 beef filet and coconut milk with the sweet spicy and 35 roast duck filet marinated in a delicious soya and dry sherry
Owen WilliamsOctober 30, 2015This place has the best Thai food I've had in Amsterdam yet. Get the spicy red curry! Then at the end you'll get hot towels!
Ronald DLSeptember 1, 2015Excellent service in this intimate restaurant in the heart of the jordaan. Select a couple of dishes and share with your party so you experience all flavours
Rebecca SloanSeptember 5, 2014Very tasty food! We enjoyed #22 & #29. Unfortunately the chain smoking on the patio rather ruined the experience as everything started to taste of ash. Mentioned it to wait staff who were unconcerned.
Shirley Ben-EliezerDecember 4, 2018Delicious and very cool interior 😋 great service. Hopefully I can come back here .. would be nice to see more veggie and vegan dishes in the future
Alex IrvingJuly 23, 2018I had the Chicken Pad Thai, which was very good. Dishes are a bit pricey. They charge €2.50 for 1L of tap at the table.
Giorgi MerebashviliJuly 27, 2016Pad kee mao ta-leh rice noodles with seafood is suuper delicios amazing, position 51 in menu
- Kalei LibbyMarch 3, 2013So good, pad thai and tempura veggies. Service was really attentive and made jokes about how hungry we were and how fast we ate. Interesting wall art, table decor and glasses.
- Mais JarurJune 16, 2023The green curly is amazing and moderately spicy if you ask, wonderful….but got hungry shortly after , but very delicious
Fatma GencAugust 23, 2015Second best of Amsterdam! With an even better place, atmosphere and hospitality- Лилия ЛенскаяMarch 8, 2022The set was perfect. Try set #1 for better diversity of Thai food. Dessert blew my mind, you can see on the photo.
Leanne PickeringOctober 31, 2016Best place for Thai food in the City! Not the prettiest restaurant but the curries are 100% worth a visit.
Andrii PavlovMay 26, 2016Very, very, very attentive staff, cozy atmosphere in the small space. Thai duck was delicious. My best recommendations!- Sharon van LeeuwenFebruary 2, 2016Everything was good! Definitely recommend this place for thai food lovers. The atmosphere is also very cosy
Patrick BrockAugust 18, 2018One of the best Thai restaurants outside Thailand. Nice staff and delicious dishes, although a bit pricey
Gisela CabralSeptember 18, 2016Delicious thai food! I loved the mix of appetizers and the shrimp with coconut and rice.
Mike MalleeFebruary 1, 2015The best Thai place outside of Thailand I've ever been to. Not the cheapest but worth it for sure.
Manos PapadopoulosDecember 6, 2014Super place. We were feom Greece and loved it had a very spicy duck and the beef salad.
citizenMMay 23, 2011Delightful cozy little Thai. The shrimp curry with Remy Martin cognac is a must-try. If the place is full, there is takeaway!
Mimi KimSeptember 16, 2013Nicest servers and food is good. If you want spicy tho, be sure to stress it.
Aly LMay 31, 2013Excellent Thai food with many vegetarian options. The staff was very friendly as well!
- M. ScottMarch 13, 2019Vegetarian pad thai was good but also costs €16.50. Seems a bit pricy for basic pad thai.
- Relatively expensive thai, but very good. Order a thai beer with your spicy red curry - it helps!
Will NJune 7, 2011Great food, exceptionally nice service. Pad Thai chicken is best I've eaten. Green curry is amazing (and spicy).
Dave LahnSeptember 14, 2014The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. I'll be returning.
Alexander ShuiskoffAugust 26, 2015Amazing personnel, cute atmosphere, authentic food but too expensive.
15 years frequenting this lovely restaurant, consistently excellent!
Antek PiéchnikOctober 24, 2016waited for an hour for a pad thai, which was essentially average. veggie tempura was pretty decent, but I don't think that's enough. for that rating, that's a disappointment.

"Best Thai restaurant in Amsterdam! Very small so make sure to make a reservation, they're always booked."

"Highly recommended. Looking for something not too spicy? Take #33 with chicken and cashews, that's my go-to dish when I am in a hurry. Call 15min in advance and your dish will be ready to pick up."
