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

Staff is a tight family and treat you with generosity and warmth. The menu is complete and long but it has everything you'd want. The staff know it thoroughly too! read more

We've been so spoiled with Mediterranean food because of flavorful food. And this Thai place also meets that criteria. We started with the Phutakun mix and it was a very good mix of veggie spring roll, a very well flavored grilled led chicken on a stick, and a unique Thai fish cake. Main courses were Khaaw pad koeng, it is a fried rice mixed with beef, chicken, prawn (it's just shrimp really), squid, and veggies. The sauce on this is so good, flavorful, and very enjoyable. And the Phad ki mao, which is a spicy fried rice noodle with chicken, it was perfect in spiciness and the veggies were fresh. They have outdoor seating and service was attentive. There are so many choices (all cuisines you can think of) here in Amsterdam Centrum and glad we stumbled here. read more

I don't remember exactly what I ordered... but it was amazing. We were wandering around Centrum trying to find Van Wonderen Stroopwafels, and we stumbled across Phutakun on the way. 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. read more

Delicious food, beautiful interior and great service. As a small snack on the house, they provided colorful fried prawn chips. We ordered; 1) Tom Kha Kai - spicy Thai chicken soup with coconut milk and mushrooms. A delicious soup nonetheless but this one was thicker than most Tom Kha we've had, which was a bonus! I actually like this thickness. 2) Mhoe Priaw Whann - sweet & sour pork with vegetables. The pork was cook thoroughly, wasn't chewy and a good texture. The sweet and sour sauce itself was good, it didn't taste artificial like a lot of other places. The vegetables were also thoroughly cooked! Usually it is the vegetables that at still raw and makes the food less enjoyable but not in this case. 3) Kuai Taiw Phad Sieeuw - fried noodles with tempeh, soy sauce and vegetables. This dish was what left an impression on me. Just the fact that they offer tempeh and great tempeh at that! I've never been to an Asian restaurant that has offered this and it is one of my favorite food items. The tempeh was cooked to perfection and had a great crunch to it. The noodles were nice and soft with slightly crispy ends. The vegetables in this dish were also thoroughly cooked. 4) Thai tea with coconut milk - although this is not on the menu, I had inquired if it was possible and it was! This was the best Thai tea I've ever had. It wasn't the standard Thai tea that every Thai restaurant serves but different. I can't put my tongue on it but there's a faint sweetness and able with this particular Thai tea that makes it stand it. It's not the coconut milk btw! My husband had a regular Thai tea and felt the same way. The couple downsides were that they don't provide tap water (it's listed in the menu) and the portions were a bit smaller than what we're use to expecting at a Thai restaurant. Nonetheless, we were very satisfied with our meal and will definitely come back whenever we're back in Amsterdam. read more

While walking around Rembrandt Square we came across this restaurant and we decided to have dinner here. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines so I was excited to try their food. Unfortunately when we went inside the restaurant and requested to sit outside the waitress gave us a not so happy look. She took our order with a bit of an attitude, but my friend and I still gave her a pleasant thank you after we gave our order. The food came out fast. We ordered the thai version of Sweet and Sour Pork and Chicken with Cashew. The food actually taste pretty good, but the serving is so tiny and there is hardly any meat. I also did not like their version of thai ice tea since it has the medicine after taste. All in all I am a bit disappointed, maybe their other dishes would be better and maybe the waitress is not just having a good day, but tonight I feel like this is not a restaurant I would want to recommend. read more

Our go-to, excellent, authentic Thai in Amsterdam. Bookmark it! Phutakun is a small Thai restaurant on Reguliersdwarsstraat which is almost a crowded walking street in the heart of one of Amsterdam's gay quarters. The menu is simple and comes with all your Thai favorites, plus a few you probably never tasted before. The freshness and quality shine. Their appetizers are good, so try the Phutakun Mix which is a sampling. The Thod Man Plaa fish cakes are exceptional. For entrees, my Dutch friends usually go for the very tasty curry dishes while I lean towards the wok stir fried entrees. My favorite is Mhoe Krathiam Phrik Thai which is a spicy fried pork, garlic and mushroom dish served in a cute baby wok. So flavorful! I also love the Plaa Krathiam Phrik Thai which is a spicy fried fish, garlic and mushroom dish. Service is pleasant and you don't feel rushed. Free wi-fi is available on request. Whether dining inside or al fresco on the sidewalk, everyone seems to be having a good time enjoying delicious Thai specialties. read more

After a long day of exploring the City Center, I sought out a nearby restaurant on yelp and found this wonderful hole in the wall Thai restaurant. It had great reviews for their service and food so I said, "Why not?" We walked in and we were welcomed immediately. Our waitress was very sweet and had no problem speaking to us in English. She provided us with white chips as appetizers that helped jump start our meal. We ordered Egg Rolls, Pad Kee Mao, and Yellow Chicken curry. The portions were plentiful and we had enough leftover for dinner (helped the budget). The best part... prices were very reasonable for the quality of food you receive here. My favorite was definitely the Pad Kee Mao. It was the perfect spice level and the noodles were cooked just right. There were no overwhelming flavors and blended perfectly with the Yellow Curry which was kept over a candle to stay warm! This place is a winner. read more

So, so thrilled we had found Phutakun for dinner. We were walking home to our airbnb from the Red Light District and this was on the way home. We were seated immediately as they weren't busy around 5:30pm - the place started filling up about an hour after. There was a little bit of some funny odor walking in - maybe raw fish? It died down, tho, but it was pretty noticeable coming in. The menu is the right amount of extensive - dishes divided up by the meat in the dish / veg options. I truly love a good Thai spot and as soon as I saw the Massaman dish, I got really excited. They were easily able to substitute the beef for chicken. We also got some spring rolls to share. My entree came and I was sold on the first bite. Probably one of the best Massaman curry dishes I've had in a while. I had two glasses of the mango juice (as you do) and was so full when we finished. Great way to start the night. read more

Bomb!!! Pork Pheanang curry. Thai iced tea was spot on. They bought out some rice crisps with a tart dipping. Enjoyed all of it. Coming back for more. read more

It's an easy 5 for food and service. The place could use a little renovation. Go there. It's a really good experience. And they are not shy about the heat of you ask for it spicy. Really great. Best meal I've ever had in Amsterdam. read more

Good was relatively tasty but definitely not the best Thai I've had in Amsterdam. Good if you're in the neighborhood and craving Thai. The service was fast but we definitely not polite, so I won't be back. read more

Over our travels, this place has become a favorite of ours. We first stopped in in May and the owner actually recognized us when we returned this trip. We ordered the satè to start along with a Heineken each. The appetizer was delicious. On a previous trip we tried the spring rolls which were also superb. I had a shrimp dish and my partner had a beef dish with coconut curry. Spectacular. They brought out delicious fried noodles to pour the dish over. The best part was the spicy chile oil to pour over it. Sufficiently hot and very flavorful. The service is friendly, prompt and efficient. Plus, they take American credit cards! Yay! read more

We stumbled across this lovely place our last time to Amsterdam. The service is relaxed, the way dinner should be! The menu has much to offer. Try the spring rolls - very tasty. The food is wonderful. The beef curry is fantastic. They have two tables outside, they are very popular. Inside is warm and cozy. Prices are very reasonable. The server takes good care if you. read more

The best Thai food in Amsterdam!! Excellent customer service!! We ordered the chicken green curry and the vegetarian panang curry. For both curries we substituted bamboo for broccoli and carrots with no problem. We even asked for more rice and it was free of charge. Also the curries are brought out on warming dishes to keep the curries hot. Everything tasted so delicious!! Would definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Healthy, affordable & well-prepared Thai food in the heart of Amsterdam. The tofu green curry was spicy - be careful with the (even hotter) home-made fish sauce. Generous shrimp portions in the sweet & sour shrimp dish. They don't do free tap water though :( As with most Thai, not a problem eating gluten and dairy free here. read more

The food was very mediocre- the pad thai did not taste like pad thai but rather like your typical chinese stir fry. First of all though, the service was very, very slow. read more

After three trips to Phutakun to absolutely make sure that this place is the absolute best Thai place in Amsterdam, I can confirm that indeed, it's service, food, atmosphere, and prices are the BEST you'll find in the city. The only thing to be cautious of is the limited space in the intimate and popular restaurant. With only a few tables, it would be wise to call in ahead of time to make a reservation (which they do accept!) on busy weekend nights. Otherwise, Phutakun is an absolute favorite. The prices are totally reasonable, especially when considering 1) how expensive this city is in general, and 2) how tasty the food is. The appetizer mix plate is a great way to try all of their goodies, and I tend to stick with chicken green curry but all of the shrimp, squid, and veggie dishes I've tasted have not disappointed either. Their pad thai also has a really nice flavor. Their service is great as well, both times I've run into a man and woman who tend to serve on weekend nights that are friendly and appropriately attentive. There is free wifi if you ask for the password and it's in a great location close to Rembrandtplein and not too far from Dam Square. Will definitely be back soon, and would highly recommend to a hungry tourist in need to fulfill a Thai craving. read more

Very friendly service at this restaurant where we didn't have to wait to get seated. We ordered a few dishes, one fish, one chicken and one beef. All were served in a metal pan with a candle underneath to keep it warm. I ordered a pad see yew expecting thick flat noodles but got thin long ones instead. Kind of disappointing however the taste was amazing! Comparable to the ones in New York. The pad see yew was very savory with enough sweetness and came with a good amount of beef too. Another great find. read more

I was little skeptical trying thai food in Amsterdam since I wasn't sure how authentic it is. Found this restaurant on yelp while we strolling around. Once we got there, we requested to sit outside. We were served prawn crackers with peanut sauce, which is nice (because it's free!!). My brother and I ordered shrimp fried rice, beef with garlic and tom yum soup. Man, surprisingly all of the dishes were soo delicious! Also, the service was great! Nothing to complain about this place. Very recommended! read more

Absolutely amazing food and service to match. After I left the restaurant I had realized that I left an art piece that I had bought in the restaurant. At this point the restaurant was closed I ran a mile to see if anyone was still there, but to not so lucky. I walked into the Italian place next door and they called the owner who came back after hrs just to let me in. Words can not describe my gratitude. And the food was was just as amazing. Make sure to order the Phad siu!!!! read more

Want to emphasize the service. Unfortunately our Noodles were over salty, but the way the owner/worker (nice looking tall Holland man) observe every detail. The noodles were too spice for my sister and he noticed that and brought her plain rice and a glass of water. We really appreciate that. The place has a Thai feel to it and in a convenient location. read more

Amazing Thai food! Had the red chicken curry and would highly recommend it. There are a ton of amazing restaurants around as well.

The food here is amazing--I had the red curry--it was the perfect amount of spice, good portion size, and very tasty. Great outdoor seating options (albeit small tables) in a nice, semi tucked away alley. I will say that it might not be the most ideal spot for American tourists. Servers don't speak English and the tipping situation is very unclear (I never was prompted to tip anywhere in Amsterdam except here and it was confusing as to whether or not a tip at this spot was the norm or extra on top). read more

We have just arrived to Amsterdam in the early afternoon and stumbled upon this gem while searching what we would be having as a late lunch. My boyfriend had some type of chicken dish, I had my usual pork yellow curry and his brother had soup. We all had rice as part of our dishes and shared an appetizer. Let me just say, it was very delicious and the service was wonderful! It was in an alley way, not in a loud sense with full of tourists but its slight off course from the main road. If you're ever in the area and wanting some thai food, this is the place to go! read more
