This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the Amsterdam Centrum. It's located on the Zeedijk…read morewhich 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.

The pad see ew with chicken was honestly not full of flavor which was disappointing. If I go back I'll definitely get the green curry. It had a lot more flavor and spice to offer, but all in all the food was very good. They have a few bottled beers to offer and the way they pack up food for takeaway is perfect. It's not really the sit down and have a wild time kind of place. The inside is small and minimal, but it gets the job done if you want a warm place to sit and eat OR grab your food for takeout.

Oh, so that was the owner who served us! The guy was super cool and friendly and greeted me as if…read morehe knew me because 2 other people in my party were already seated and I was about 20 minutes later than them, so when I walked into the restaurant, he said "So you're the imaginary friend!" without me having to explain anything. He was very warm and inviting and also acted as our waiter the whole night, so I had no idea he was also the owner. Other than the great service, the decor was warm and relaxing, and I had a great meal even though I was dining with two people I had never met before. I credit the decor and the atmosphere for putting us all at ease and making that possible. And the food was great too! I had the Tom Yum Soup and it was nice and creamy and full of flavor, and I tried someone else's beef dish which was great, and the chicken dish was ok. I was dining with a woman from China and she gushed about the rice. As soon as it was put on the table she said she could smell how wonderful it was, and explained that she's been travelling for the last six months outside of China, and this is the first time she's had "proper" rice since she left home. The fried banana/ice cream dessert was heavenly as well. Squishy warm banana with cold delicious ice cream makes people happy.

There used to be an ambiguous Chinese restaurant situated at this location. Well, it wasn't really…read morethat dotchy. But this is Zuid and in Zuid people have money to spend and they don't want to spend it on stuffy Dutch Chinese fair. Babi pangang and Foe yong hai might have sufficed for grandpa & grandma and mom & dad, but the new generation wants modern and hip. They want small little nibbits and lots, cause sharing is caring. They want flavors that remind them of the flavors they experienced during their far east holidays. In Zuid, Asian fusion is the way to go. Thus about 2 weeks ago, a new Asian fusion restaurant opened it's doors in de Maasstraat. Not that there's any shortage of Asian inspired restaurants in the Rivierenbuurt, with Kaiko, Sapporo, Korean Garden, Hakata Senpachi and Orbit to name a few, only a stones throw away. I pass the restaurant regularly on my way to the appie for my grocery rants. The enticive menu lured me in this evening. By the way, their menu is a little more extensive then the one posted online. Let's see, the spider roll with soft shell crab, avocado, Japanese mayo and tobiko. Fried spicy dynamite roll with tuna and kimchi? Oyster cutlet roll with crispy oyster, red onion, almonds and tonkatsy mayo...hmmmm, interesting. Yaikes, €9 for 4 pieces?! Right..... let's just leave the creative sushi rolls for now and move on to the meals, shall we. Scallops with garlic topping, soft shell crab with garlic and red pepper, Malaysian curry sirloin with vegetables, steamed turbot with spring onions, ginger and doused with hot soy oil. Yahaa! The meals are on the small side here, so I was advised to go for 3 dishes per person. After viewing the prices, I only went for two dishes though. This prompted the question, only 2? You're not that hungry then?! Which lead me to respond with a hesitant yes. What I meant to say however was: Actually, I am very hungry but this is all I can afford right now. For a shared dinning concept, meals aren't economical to say the least (average pricesof ~ €8-13 per dish). I ended up going for the beef skewers with Malaysian peanut sauce and the Tuna Tataki with ponzu dip. Although beef skewers reminded me more of the Indonesian style sate rather than Malaysian with the sweet ketjap, they tasted okay. The seared tuna was also fine. I was expecting a fresh citrusy sauce as depicted in the picture on their site and was kind of disappointed when I couldn't detect any citrus flavors in the ponzu dip. What is that saying like? Never expect anything from anyone, because expectation always hurts. On the other hand, I was happy to discover only 2 dishes were sufficient to satisfy my hunger. So when on a budget my advise would be, go for protein! No, rephrase, ALWAYS go for protein, even when not broke. Even though the dishes didn't quite live up to my expectations, I think I will pay Michiu another visit. The food was good enough for me to still want to try other dishes on the menu, like turbot and the quail with goose liver. Yes, this place fits right in the neighbourhood with a high demand for contemporary fusion cuisine. Asian red is definitely the theme here. There is few seating outside as well. Prices are rather steep, but no more so then at Sapporo and Kaiko. Remember, this is Zuid and in Zuid people have money to spend. This newbie might do quite well....

Basically a stir-fry with onions and peppers, with some fancy aesthetic rice. The owners are very friendly though and went as far to come up with a surprise dish when my friend asked for their favorite recommendation! Price came out to about 15 euros per person.

What a lucky find. Family run Thai perfection (I hate using that word, but...). I usually judge a…read morenew to me restaurant by the soup - if they take care in making the soup, everything else is usually good. My Thai soup tonight was tied for best ever with a mushroom soup I had years ago in Canada - one of those "oh my" moments. The shrimp curry was light and well balanced, the noodle dish flavorful and delicate, fried basil over beef tender and exotic. Dessert - simple warm bananas with thick sweet coconut sauce! So if you find yourself in Amsterdam, enjoy Thai cuisine, and are just a bit adventurous, you owe it to yourself to sup at Na Siam.

While walking the streets of Amsterdam in search of Thai food, I found this gem within a 10-15…read moreminute walk from Amsterdam Central Station. I ordered the Chicken Spring Rolls, Drunken Noodles with Beef, and Tom Yam Kung Soup with a side of white rice and a beer (Singha). The Chicken Spring Rolls were crispy, delicious, and packed with flavor. I recommend ordering the spring rolls while you wait for the main meal. Make sure you use the sweet and sour dipping sauce that comes with the spring rolls. The Tom Yam Kung Soup is so good! With a coconut milk broth with a hint of lime, and shrimp, I highly recommend ordering the Tom Yam Kung Soup with a side of white rice (optional) to soak up the delicious broth, which will leave you warm and satisfied. If you are trying to decide on a noodle dish to order, I recommend going with the Drunken Noodles with Beef (or Chicken). You may also want to request a mild spice level depending on your spice tolerance because the default spicy level is medium spice. It was a great balance of meat, veggies, and noodles. If you're someone who loves Thai food, and you eat it regularly, then your taste buds will automatically tingle with happiness and familiarity confirming that you're eating authentic Thai food...and it's incredibly delicious. If you're exploring Amsterdam in search for a great place for dinner, I highly recommend you give Chok Dee Thai a chance. Service was great too!
