    Lovely Thai restaurant in the center of Amsterdam. Food is delicious, my boyfriend says he doesn't like Thai food but he actually really enjoyed this place. Service is very kind and quick. Good value for money. Absolutely recommend

    Very hardworking, respectful and skilled staff. The food is incredible, and the place looks very well taken care of! Never tried Thai food before but I’m really looking forward to coming back here soon to try more dishes. I highly recommend the seafood mix starter and the Phad Thai with tofu - then having some excellent mint tea to make things right. I hope this place doesn’t blow up on tiktok and become impossible for locals to enjoy. One thing to keep in mind when you visit this restaurant is to have patience and enjoy watching the passionate staff orchestrate the open kitchen while you wait to be served. Toilets are also surprisingly clean and comfortable!

    Small cozy restaurant with beautiful decorations. Very delicious and authentic food, every bite packed with flavour! The Pad Thai, Paenang curry and sticky rice were exceptional. I look forward to try more from the card soon. Service was very friendly and helpful, especially with picking the right amount of spice. Just make sure to bring enough time, as there is only one cook and waiter.

    We felt like we found a secret hole-in-the-wall gem when we walked by this place. We walked in and it smelled incredible and looked so authentic. The food was delicious and we got to see that the chef made each meal individually. However, if you're looking for speed and efficiency, this may not be the place for you. There is one chef and one waiter, so things moved pretty slowly. We were content just talking to one another, but be prepared to wait a while for your food.

    A authentic, well adorned quiet place. With only seven small tables in the whole space it is very intimate and quiet. Traditional music completes this hole in the wall; though for this intimacy and flavors you will pay dearly, a bowl of pad Thai runs near 20€ as does most of the menu. Loved it though!

    A very beautiful place, quite small so get there early. The staff are very busy as all food is cooked to order, as you can watch them do this. So dont expect a cheap takeaway style meal. The waiter was attentive when taking our order and checked if we wanted to change spice in our curry. If you cant stand heat, I reccomend you do go down, as they are very authentic in the Thai heat level. But this place is definitely somewhere to go again.

    Great Thai food that’s definitely up there with the best I’ve had. The place is small but that gives it a great atmosphere. You can see all the food being made fresh near you. Would definitely visit regularly if I could!

    Probably some of the best Thai food that I’ve in all of my travels. The Pad Thai is absolutely delicious and spicy. Authentic ingredients and flavor. We also ordered the Chicken Satay and Lumpia - so good! This is such a nice hidden gem in the middle of Amsterdam. Highly recommend anyone to eat there if you like authentic Thai food.

    Excellent food! It's a small gem in Amsterdam. Food can take time to be served as it is freshly prepared but very tasty and presented well. We ordered pad Thai and green curry, it was delicious.

  • 5/5 Steven S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! Go here if you want good Thai food. Went here with a friend. The food we ordered here was delicious. You can tell that it was made authentically, which shows by the open kitchen. They’re not afraid to show off their cooking skills. The people were very nice. We felt welcome. The restaurant itself is traditional and cozy. Only improvement I could think of is that the statues and ornaments were a bit dusty and could use a wet towel. But it didn’t ruin the great experience we had here.

    Cozy little Restaurant with super friendly Service in a nice ambience. The food is very delicious and we would always come back ! We can really recommend this authentic little place but you should better do a reservation. We had a lot of luck, that they had some space for two people, because it’s very small and snugly.

    A hidden gem in the center! Delicious Phad Thai, probably the best I’ve tasted In Amsterdam in a small and intimate place. Super friendly and welcoming staff

  • 5/5 Paul G. 10 months ago on Google
    A small, unpretentious spot, but worth the wait if you can’t get right in. Delicious Massaman curry, good pad Thai, spring rolls meh! A two person operation, one cooking the other serving; both hustling their butts off to take care of you.

  • 5/5 Rea P. 5 months ago on Google
    My friend and I stopped in here during our short visit in Amsterdam and loved it - had a warm pot of the jasmine tea on a rainy night and we ate all of our food! I got the curry massaman dish and my friend got fried noodles with stir fry. The waiter and chef were so kind and the space was cozy!

  • 5/5 Eric S. 7 months ago on Google
    Best Thai food we’ve had outside Thailand. Fish cakes were great to start and then had the cashew stir fry and the seafood curry. Come back here everytime we visit. So good!

  • 5/5 Brian G. 7 months ago on Google
    Great freshly cooked dishes. Very tasty. Generous portions. A must.

  • 5/5 Julia B. 10 months ago on Google
    The service was fantastic and the food delicious! Authentic Thai in a cozy space. Don't be shy to ask if you want it spicy, the chef can adjust to your preference. If you're not a local you might want to bring cash - the credit card machine is a little hit or miss. The portions were generous!

    So glad we found this delicious authentic Thai eatery on a quiet street during our time in Amsterdam. In particular the Paneng curry was incredible 😋

  • 5/5 Timo P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very good Thai restaurant, would definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates this type of cuisine and super friendly people. We will definitely come here again. Everything prepared the second you order it and you can taste that!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
