This was probably the best Thai meal I've had in any part of the world. My partner and I walked in…read moreand were immediately greeted warmly by the hostess as if we were being welcomed into our new family. The decor was tasteful, service was friendly, and the food was amazing!! The menu only included beverages and a few add-ons; other than that, there's no need to choose what you're eating. Similar to visiting someone's home, you eat whatever they're serving. They started us off with some prawn chips (which have a highly addictive flavor and a fluffy/crunchy texture), then soup, then a selection of four entrees, along with some rice. They choose the four entrees based on what fresh ingredients they have on hand that day. (If you have dietary restrictions, tell them when you arrive, they can adjust the meal accordingly.) The portions of the 4 entree sampler were quite large, I'd estimate you get 4-5 bites of each. I was approaching full after eating two of the four, but I couldn't stop eating because it was so tasty! Our four dishes were a spicy green curry with chicken, a beef stir fry, stir fried vegetables, and some deep fried white fish with sweet chili sauce. It was all spiced well and cooked to perfection, none of the meat was too dry/chewy nor were the vegetables mushy. We finished off the meal with a bowl of diced fresh mango. What a wonderful, simple treat. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Delft!

Chef Siriporn and her husband run this restaurant themselves. We walked from our Hilton hotel to this restaurant and it was worth every step. We ordered Shrimp Fried Rice and to make it authentic, we added fried egg on top. Chef Siriporn recommended roasted duck in red curry sauce, so we gave it a try. Both dishes were so delicious that we had to go back the next day. We highly recommend this place. I am Thai, and their food made me feel at home.

It's a small but cozy restaurant, with a few tables outside. The menu is very extensive, with more than sixty different options. I had a little trouble looking around for what I wanted to eat. American Thai restaurants sort items by noodle dishes, rice dishes, etc. and then you add your protein (pork, chicken, beef). But Phutakun separates by pork, chicken, and beef dishes. I don't think I was able to find pad see ew, one of my favorites. There were also prawn, squid, and fish dishes that I never seen before! We got a chicken dish that had green onions, side of rice, and a noodle dish that looked like ramen. Everything was a little different from what I was used to, but it was super delicious. Servings were on the smaller side, but the quality was there. Loved the flavor of the stir fry chicken, and the noodles were excellent. Service was wonderful, the man helping us was pleasant and very helpful. I appreciated his willingness to bring us cold glasses of water, something other restaurants in Amsterdam make difficult.

Wonderful Thai, great service on a relatively quiet side street in an otherwise lame touristy area.read more

I discovered Bird through a Reddit thread and while I was curious to try, I didn't really bother…read moretrying 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!

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.

If you're looking for Thai food in Leiden, Buddha's is the spot. We visited our expat friends who…read morelive there now and all four of us decided to come here on a whim on our last night in town. I wish we'd discovered it sooner! We managed to get a 4-top around 7 PM on a Wednesday night, but I would otherwise make a reservation, which you can easily do on their website. The site has a great English translation as well. Buddha's prices seemed a little steep at first, BUT they offer a 2-course and 3-course option as well as an early bird option if you're dining before 6 PM. The portions are large (by US standards) and easily shareable or you can take the leftovers home. We started out with drinks, and my friends had beers. I had a Buddha's mule, which was similar to a Moscow Mule in the US, and I really enjoyed it. One friend had the pornstar martini and I tasted hers- it was strong and sweet. The Pandan Sour was incredibly strong. I had the Choe Chi Koeng- large shrimp in spicy red curry with coconut milk, pepper, long beans, mushrooms, lemon leaves and basil leaves. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and large, and the broth was rich and spicy. I didn't eat much seafood in The Netherlands, but these shrimp were larger than the other shrimp I saw and large compared to what I'm used to in American Thai restaurants. My husband had the Phad Gee Mauw, which has three kinds of meat. The servers brought a large bowl of rice out for all of us at the table to share, and we also ordered extra as my friends were big fans of the rice. We're big fans of Thai food in the US and eat it often, but we were glad to try it in The Netherlands, and this ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. You can request spicy food here, and the food is spicier than the other dishes we had. If you visit Leiden- perhaps for the university or the museums- check out Buddha's! We were certainly impressed.

I was impressed with the fried red snapper. It was huge (even for US standards), fresh, and well prepared. Everything was also fresh and tasty. Their "very spicy" is not that spicy. I guess they have to cater to the Dutch palate - there are hardly any Asians in the city after all. In any case one can always add more chili. We were able to pay with our US chip credit card. One doesn't go to Leiden for Thai food, but you have a craving for good Thai food while in Leiden, this should hit the spot.
