    The food was amazing and the service was so friendly. Great Mai Thais and neighborhood ambience. Coconut crème brûlée is wonderful. All around a great experience.

    After a late workout, we were hungry and committed the faux pas of trying to find a place to eat in Amsterdam without a reservation. I had often passed Rakang and had always wanted to try it. It's a great location, just close enough to Negen Stratjes but outside of the too-touristy area. Rakang had space for us and also a very gezellig atmosphere- warm lighting, quirky and fun decor. (Check out the cheeky lamp, in the photo! haha!) Everyone was super nice and our server was humorous and attentive. The duck curry was delicious, and there are fun cocktails to choose from as well. I'll be back.

    Chicken Spring Rolls at Rakang.

    After spending a long afternoon in Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam, we were looking for a good restaurant for our dinner. My husband wanted something tasty and a little spicy. We came across Rakang Thai Restaurant. This appears to be a family owned restaurant only open for dinner. It was quite busy and we didn't have reservations. The young lady told us to wait and she thought she could seat us in 10 minutes. Within 2 minutes, they had two tables to choose from. The restaurant is very decorative, and the tables are a bit tight as is the custom here, but it was very comfortable. We decided to just have soft drinks on this evening, and to start with Poh Pia or chicken spring rolls, they came three to an order, perfect for the two of us. The spring rolls were well-filled, hot and crispy. The plum sauce was nicely spiced, and so we felt confident we had made a good decision stopping here. We selected Neua Ka-praw (stir-fried sliced beef with Thai basil leaves, chilli, garlic, onions and yardlong beans) and Pad Thai Kai (pad Thai with chicken) to share. The Neua Ka-praw was served with white rice and was simply delicious. The beef was so tender and the dish was at just the right level of spiciness. The Thai basil leaves were so fragrant in the dish, but weren't overwhelming. The dish was a nice blend of all the spices. The yardlong green beans, were fresh, tender and provided a great crunch. We enjoyed this dish very much. The Pad Thai was reliable, tasty and the chicken was tender, cooked to perfection. If you have a need for a bit of spice while wandering the canals and streets of the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam, this place is a hit. Give it a try!

    We got recommendation for this restaurant but was disappointed with food. The flavors were missing, not a good option for vegetarians.....Pad Thai was atleast okay!

    Red Curry with whole prawns. Fantastic!

    Tiny but mighty! Some of the best Thai food we've ever had. The curry was rich and thick and had the depth of flavor you expect from a great curry. The pad thai was not as flavorful, but was decent.

    Old school bathroom very cool

    Got table for six. Staff was super nice and very attentive to our order. Waitress Bo was very nice. Food is authentic and served well with timing of apps and drinks.

    A small hole in a wall joint that serves very tasty but tiny portions of thai food. While the manager/owner appears to be very friendly, the rest of the staff seems to be very unhappy serving customers. Its definitely service without a smile!! Its too bad, i would definitely come back for the taste but the serving size and dour attitude of the waitresses definitely a big turn off......

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!

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.

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.
