Great atmosphere, excellent food - staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were very reasonable.

This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Amsterdam Centrum. It's located on the Zeedijk which is in the heart of Amsterdam. Often times there is a line leading outside to get a table due to the popularity of Bird Thais. The service is friendly and prompt. I've tried a variety of dishes on the menu but of course the classic Pad Thai is one of my top choices. Food is fresh and tasty. This time I tried the Isaan Menu which was a nice collection of spare rib appetizer, Tom Yam Kai soup, and a spicy beef salad. I really enjoyed the flavors of this dish. It is a very busy restaurant but there's just enough space to enjoy your meal without feeling like you are on top of the next table. Bird Thais is a very popular restaurant for a good reason. read more

The staff were accommodating and all smiles. We ended up here past regular dinner time, it was raining and we didn't have coats/umbrella, and this was the only resto opened when we were looking for a place to eat. The entry way may look narrow but it's a surprise they have considerably large dining area, for both small and big groups. Nice decor and seating arrangement by the way! Unfortunately, I personally didn't like most of the food we ordered. Not sure, but I've tried similar cuisine places where the food tasted better (even popular ones like pad thai and sticky rice). May still be good for you to try, there's a view of the canal on the back part and windows are cracked open. That's the bonus to see during day time. read more

We ate here recently while visiting Amsterdam. They were able to seat 9 of us with a relatively quick wait time. The food was good. I had a massaman curry, that was different than the typical massaman that I am accustomed to in the US. This had not only the typical coconut base, but also peanut butter. Not what I was expecting, but very tasty. Hubby got the shrimp pad Thai which he enjoyed. Everyone from my group was happy with what they ordered. Would come back again. read more

This is a small restaurant in a color part of Amsterdam! Enjoy the great atmosphere. The servers were very knowledgeable about the food and offered great recommendations. We have the coconut soup, beef curry and chick curry. While the soup was a little on the sweeter side everything was tasty. Be prepared to wait in line but it lives very fast!! read more

You were sat immediately. The menu had so many choices. We got a coconut base soup with seafood. -delicious. Also ate a shrimp broccoli cauliflower dish. Wish I remembered the names we enjoyed the food. Bathrooms are upstairs read more

Hoping to try a Gluten free restaurant that ended up being closed, we walked around and found this restaurant that was recommended by a colleague. The line up outside suggested it may be a good place to go. I was craving a Pad Thai or a curry that are usually a safe bet for celiac however it wasn't the case with this restaurant. I took a cashew/shrimp platter recommended by the waitress, It was delicious. I would definitely go back again when in Amsterdam. read more

I went to Bird Thais Restaurant with a friend and we had so much fun! We weren't paying attention to what we were doing so we ended up ordering fried rice, white rice, sweet and sour chicken (I think) and a beef sauce. It was all incredibly delicious but certainly lacking in variety. You can see the canal from the windows and it's really cool especially if you sit by the window upstairs. The restaurant was clean, staff were friendly and ambiance was chill. I would go there again. read more

I discovered Bird through a Reddit thread and while I was curious to try, I didn't really bother trying to find out where it was... but it worked out because my wife and I were wandering around the neighborhood and happened to stumble upon Bird when we were hungry! Here's what we ordered: 82 - Pad Ka Ki Maul (Spicy fried rice w/ chicken fillet, garlic, basil, chili peppers): If you love big, bold flavors and some heat, this is it. I am salivating just thinking about eating this right now! And they do not skimp on the chicken either. So flavorful! I wish they picked the basil leaves off though rather than tossing in the whole sprig. 83 - Drunken Noodle: Also known as Pad Kee Mao. Pretty much the same flavors as the previously mentioned dish, but with noodles instead. Typically this dish is served with big flat noodles, but they use pad thai type noodles instead which I was a little skeptical of at first. But after my first bite, my initial worries were gone. Again, big flavors and wok hei. 88 - Som Tam: Your typical papaya salad, but absolutely swimming in "dressing/sauce" which I love! It's definitely on the sweeter side of things though which my wife personally didn't care for, but I thought it was great. 85 - Spicy tom yum noodle soup with chicken: Not really the type of tom yum noodles I'm used to at home, but still good. But definitely my least favorite thing I've ordered here, but again, still pretty good but I'd order something else. Anyway, if Bird was back home, I would absolutely consider this a go-to type of spot. If you love Thai food and/or want something comforting, Bird is definitely a great choice. The restaurant feels lively and the service was fast and friendly! read more

You guys are amazing!!!! This place was busy from the moment we walked in so we had a great feeling about this place. The service was very friendly, the food was BEYOND INCREDIBLE, and the vibes in this place was such a nice home feel. The food did take a while because it was Saturday night and they were slammed, however, once we got our food...wow. Definitely the go-to place for Thai food in Amsterdam!! Don't look anywhere else! read more

I LOVE BIRD THAIS I came here on a fluke. I honestly had zero idea of the hype and the reviews. I was tasked by my family to find somewhere to eat, I love Thai food, and this place looked nice. We got seated within a few minutes, and the seats felt comfy. That was pretty much my sell. Their menu is MASSIVE. I am not a curry fan. So I ignored all things curry. I ended up grabbing the dorado fish covered in sweet chili. It has a nice kick, and the dorado was perfectly crunchy and was not too large. The chilis on top were a great touch for little sweet heat flavors. Everything was amazing. Truly. Our table was so talkative until the food came. Then bam - everything was silent. The way that amazing food is designed to do. Keep your mouth full, your mind focused, and truly enjoy your meal. I dream about going back. And one day, my dream will come true! read more

Not sure where the hype is coming from. Visited the restaurant Sunday night, waited around 30'mins to get in. Very disappointed at the food and service. Ordered a pad Thai with pork, soup, chicken satay and pork pineapple fried rice. The pad Thai with pork, suppose pad Thai should have a more sour flavor orange color, but this one is dark soy sauce color. The pork is frozen pork, rough and no taste. The chicken satay has too many sauce, dried and tough meat. Pineapple fried rice with chicken only comes with 2 small pieces of pineapple. Meat are super rough. Server asked if we want water, we said yes. Brought in two bottle of still water. I asked if they have tan water another server maybe is the manager. Said we have tan water we don't serve it, there is no free water here. Ok I understand I'm fine dining no free water is normal. Interesting enough I never heard a normal Thai restaurant don't serve water for free. Force you to pay for the still water (3.5 euro per bottle). Ridiculous. The way she explained is very rude. Overall terrible experience. read more

While visiting a different country I always look to see if yelp works and surprise surprise it did in Amsterdam. After a long day of being a tourist I did a quick yelp search and found this cute little restaurant. When we arrived there was a line out the door so I'm sure I wasn't the only one doing some yelping out this way. To our luck the line moved pretty fast and we were seated within 15 minutes or so. I think this is due to the restaurant not taking reservations or even a list of names and number of people in a party. It's based on a first come first serve line so everyone was lined up in the doorway which caused some chaos to get in and out. Once you're seated the staff is pretty quick and comes with menus and asks for your drink order. I normally get the pad see ew but here they didn't even have that option so I just got a Chicken Pad Thai. My friend also got the Pad Thai but with beef and the Combination Fried Rice. The food came out in less than 10 minutes and man is it a good portion. I honestly think with one plate you can feed 2-3 people so my friends and I ordered diff items and shared family style and still had some left over to take home with us to eat the next day. All items were good and flavorful. Fried rice had a good amount of beef, chicken, and shrimp. The Pad Thai noodles were cooked perfectly and not mushy. I just wished they gave more veggies and more peanuts. If I were to come back to Amsterdam and had a Thai craving this is the place I would come to. read more

This area in the red light district has many oriental dining options, we chose this one after I perused the menu online from "across the pond". We loved it, I had the spicy fried rice with chicken, delicious and very hot. I had to push several of the hot peppers off to the side , as my very fresh Heineken could not cool my mouth off. My wife had the spicy chicken salad over white rice, it was a tad bit less spicy than my fried rice, but she thought it was very good. Her mai tai was a bit watery. We definitely would do this place again, without the mai tai read more

A legit delicious restaurant right next to the Centraal station. I did my homework beforehand and recognized the popularity of the restaurant. So I came by at around 5 PM or so for an early dinner. When I left at around 6 PM or so, the place still had some open tables. Food is definitely on the pricey end. However, they do have generous serving size, and the quantity made it worth it (maybe). I liked my red curry, but I couldn't figure out why they added lychee into the mix. The appetizer platter was also good! I highly recommend it. Not five stars because the restaurant is too loud for this type of establishment (the expensive kind). Even when I was there at 5 PM, it was hard to hold a conversation with my friend. It is also dark, which makes it difficult to read the menu. You receive a 10% discount if you do take out. read more

There is a snack bar across the street with the same name so be careful that you're not confusing the two. I went on a moderately cold and rainy Thursday night and the line was slightly out the door. My two friends and I were seated in about 30 minutes, which wasn't that bad; I expected it to be worse (longer). We ordered the Chang Mai and Phuket Menus, which was enough to share among three, with an extra order of rice. Chang Mai: Chicken satay, tom yam koeng (soup), beef & coconut milk in paneng curry Phuket: Fish cakes, tom yam talee (soup very similar to tom yam koeng), beef, potatoes and peanuts in mild curry sauce They had Chang beer which was a nice touch to go with the Thai food. The food was delicious and I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. The staff was very nice and helpful with the menu. read more

BEST THAI FOOD!! We started with the Papaya Salad which was bomb. It was a large portion even though it was an appetizer. It came in this tall stone bowl that seemed like an endless bowl and each bite was better and better. We got the Chicken Panang curry and it was so good! They had lychee in it which I never had in my curry but it went so well together with all the spices and flavors. We also tried the Tahoe Pad Krapau which was tofu with basil leaves and chilli peppers. This was tasty too, but not as good as the salad and curry. There was so much food that we had to take home left overs and had another meal for the 2 of us. This place is definitely worth the wait! We came back a second time on our trip, but saw the line decided to try the other Thai place across the street and it wasn't as good.. we regretted our decision immediately. read more

Amazing ! Best Thai I've ever had and I'm from the states I crave it all the time every and all dishes are my fave

Eat at this Thai place before anything else in the Red Light District and you will be pleased for sure. They had a huge menu offering, where family style dining is best, as the portions are meant for 2. The price is about average to the rest of the area. The service is fast, however the queues in line to seat could be a little long, especially at peak times. I enjoyed the Massaman Curry Chicken and the Sweet and Sour Beef. They do offer a 10% discount for just takeaway, and also partner with Deliveroo if you're in the need of those services. read more

Great Thai food! I did not imagine that I would find such good Thai food in Amsterdam. My first time in Amsterdam during 2008 I dined here and was very pleased, but completely forgot the name. My second time I wondered the streets and coincidentally ran into Bird Thais again. The restaurant is so cozy and has a nice authentic ambiance with quality decor and upholstery. But of course I have to talk about the FOOD. They give large portions, their turn around time is pretty decent. I had the chicken lo mien that could have easily been for two people. I really loved the food but it was way too much to finish. My sis had some Beef curry dish which the exact name escapes me. This was amazing so I feel bad I can't remember the name. They curry was spicy and a nice consistency. There is no need for reservations, but be mindful the place does full of quickly for dinner. read more

Thai in Amsterdam? Sure, there's a first for everything.... This is suppose to be the best Thai in Amsterdam. Well, yeah it's pretty good. I got Tom yum with shrimp and the soup was flavorful but got a bit salty at the end. The shrimp was nicely peeled for you. I also go chicken with red curry and bamboo shoots. That was delicious and flavorful as well! Plenty of rice too. It was a lot of food and can be family style. Again like the Tom Yum it got a bit salty at the end. It was pretty pricy for Thai food. The line when I went during dinner was packed. They have their to go place across the street if you don't want fine dining. If you crave Thai food, this will hit the spot, expect to pay a lot though. read more

So this is absolutely my favorite Thai restaurant in the world! It is the standard that I measure every Thai restaurant that I go to. I am going to go down the menu and I'm sure I will not be disappointed. Thanks Bird Thais read more

Holy cow was the food good here. My friend and I went on a Saturday night around 7 PM and there was already a line out the door. After waiting for about 15 minutes we were taken to a table in the middle of a loud and somewhat eclectic room. After spending a week here in Amsterdam, this was absolutely the best meal we had on the entire trip. The food came out hot, the staff was quick to react when needed, and everything tasted awesome. So don't walk, rather run of this place and you won't be disappointed. Just get there early read more

Why Bird!? Because this Thai will make you FLY!! If going to Bird 3 times in 7 days isn't a testament to how BOMB this place is then I don't know what is. I would have never thought I would have eaten at the same Thai place in Amsterdam three times in my week stay. The first two times we ate here we ate an early dinner since we were still jet lagged so we were able to avoid the long wait for a table (third time we were at about 7:30-8 PM and waited like 25 minutes). Service is good and food is authentically delicious! Seriously, everything I tried was amazing! Here are some of my faves: 1.) Koeng Ho Pa - Crispy, fried shrimp in a sweet (not spicy) chili sauce. 2.) Keng Kai - Thai chicken curry in coconut milk and red curry sauce will tantalize your taste buds any day! The curry comes with white rice so be sure to slam the curry sauce all over your rice for a continued Nirvana once you gobble up all your chicken. Seriously euphoric and a must have! 3.) Paneng Kai - If you want to switch up the curry dish, try the chicken in paneng sauce. Yummy alternative to Keng Kai (although Keng Kai is better in my book). Every time we went we never spent any more then 50€ which was actually great for Amsterdam. With 50€ we always managed 4 sodas, an appetizer and two entrees. I have no idea when I'll be back in Amsterdam bring I am ever in Europe again, I just might make a special trip back just for Bird. :-) read more

Who would have guessed (not me), that I would discover one of the best Thai restaurants ever right here In the heart of Amsterdam??

The kids were craving some rice and I found this place on yelp. The thai place right across the street was packed and I hesitated between the two. Bird had the pineapple fried rice so I went for it. They gave me a discount because I got it to go. After I ordered I took the kids to a neighborhood playground a couple blocks away. We came back 15 mins later and our food was ready. Took it back to the hotel and enjoyed some yummy pineapple fried rice. read more

Was excited to try this place because of the great reviews. I've had some really great Thai food in the past, and this one just didn't measure up at all. Good thing I didn't have to wait for a table. I don't know if maybe the Snackbar place across the street is better as I saw more people waiting outside but this Thai food was pretty mediocre. The chicken satay was dry. The beef in my panang curry was tough. The Tom yum soup and spicy fried rice were underwhelming. I had to request chili peppers and hot sauce to add to the flavor of all my dishes, not a good sign. It was by no means cheap but it also didn't break the bank. I do not think I would return because everything was subpar but not downright terribke. Service was fine. read more

All six of us agreed that this is the best Thai food ever! Service was a little slow, but it was easy to see that they were understaffed. While reservations are not accepted, the line moves quickly.
