    Outstanding restaurant. This is the real deal. Venue is small but their food is the best Thai food I have ever had in Europe.

    An awesome Thai restaurant in Amsterdam city center!…read more We were walking around in Amsterdam city in the afternoon and was browsing for some Thai food for lunch. Our first time visited this restaurant and the overall experience was amazing! The quality of their food was excellent as in the flavor, authentic taste, temperature control and fresh ingredients. Their stir fried crispy pork belly with Kai lan was super good. We could not stop eating while waiting for our masamam curry to be served. The pork belly was roasted with smoky flavor and was really crispy blended well into the brown sauce with some little spicy chili flavor. It was just an awesome dish and goes well with white rice. Their masamam curry was rich and creamy with coconut . The beef was tender, the potatoes was soft and well cooked just at the right time management . With some peanuts in the curry made the entire dish super delicious! We enjoyed their food a lot!. Their service was great and staff was attentive to the customers' request. The moment you walked into this restaurant you know you made the right choice for Thai cuisine. Highly recommended for you to have a try if you are visiting Amsterdam city center. It is definitely one of our top list of favorite restaurant to go in Amsterdam city!

You immediately think you are another city then in Amsterdam. The staff was extremely friendly and had a very good attitude with us arriving so late. Being a group that enjoys family style, we needed Ho ordering a hodge of food. I will say the group favorite was the curry. This was everyone's vote but my own. I personally liked the chicken lo mein. It definitely shined over the mall Chinese food I had a few weeks ago. The Thai was my second favorite and it was a second favorite for the table as well. Very flavorful with a good hot and sweet vibe with the additional compliments available. I would go here again if it was the only thing open. Nothing was WOW... - Forever Foodie- Ela

    This is a not so impressive looking eatery with very little space to move when you are not seated…read more The food, is very good so that makes everything alright! I don't know much about Thai food but I do know that the two times that I came here and the different things that I ordered, were all very delicious! I really liked the coconut cream soup with the mushrooms. I love mushrooms and I love anything coconut so why would I not love this?! This place is not very expensive so just go here and try it out. You really won't regret it! Although it's not expensive, you might be tempted to keep ordering more... I know I was! That's always a good sign, I'd say.

We were walking towards another restaurant during a rainy afternoon and suddenly we passed by this hidden gem that looked super cozy and also the food looked perfect for the occasion, by that I mean steaming hot. We didn't think twice and quickly asked if there was room for two, which we ran with lucky bc the place is very small but two people were just paying to leave. We were promptly sat and attended. The food came out fast, steaming hot, generous portions. The chicken curry had an addictive ingredient bc it didn't matter that it was spicy I couldn't stop eating it! The vegetables were perfectly tender and tasty. The meat was juicy and cut into perfect bite chunks. Im not exaggerating when I say I had the most delicious chicken curry I've ever had in my life. My husband had the beef with garlic and white pepper which is onions. Also incredibly good. Both dishes came with a side of rice. At the end we were stuffed and super happy! We came back twice before leaving Amsterdam!

    I am posting this review because I had posted on TripAdvisor previously, and instead apologizing…read morefor the poor experience, they responded by accusing me of posting a ridiculous review full of lies. We are a couple and we were looking for a nice place to have some Thai food on a Saturday night. When we entered asking if there was a table for two available, we were told to wait 5 minutes. So, we waited outside. Another couple were leaving, so we chatted to them about their meal and we asked what they would recommend. After a few minutes, we went inside again and we were aggressively waved away and told they were closed. I was left quite shocked and confused. At most, we had maybe been 7-8 minutes, but also nobody had mentioned to us that the table was ready, or not ready. So, I don't know what happened here. But, I was mostly surprised at the anger and aggressiveness, as if we had done something horribly wrong. I posted this on TripAdvisor, and instead of receiving an apology, I was accused of lying. Why would I make this up? So, I repeat. Do not go here. It's not authentic Thai food, the staff are dreadful (I have been to Thailand, and people are not like that there), and if you want to be aggressively waved away for absolutely no reason at all, well this is your place! We were quite upset by this, and also very hungry. Thankfully, there are many better options for Thai food, and we went to Thaise Snackbar Bird nearby. The staff were fantastic there, and chatted to us quite a lot. We told them about what happened (and they didn't accuse us of lying). Little Thai Prince (maybe replace the word "Prince" with something else). Also, I want to add that on Tripadvisor they respond to everyone's negative reviews with more rude responses and denials, instead of simply apologizing. I have been to Thailand, and I certainly never met anyone like this there. Shocking people, and a shocking place. -100 stars, if possible. It almost ruined our night. They should have paid me to eat there and I would have still said no. So glad we didn't actually get to eat any of their disgusting food.
