The best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand. The papaya salad is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The panang curry with chicken has fresh lychee included to help balance out the spice. Wow. Definitely get the sticky rice. We ate here twice on our visit (one of those nights was my birthday). Can’t wait to visit again on our return to Amsterdam.

tasty dishes but very spicy. it is very profitable to take a menu that includes soup, a side dish and a main course. They did not warn that a bottle of water costs 7€, which is a lot for water.

I loved their food. We tried their Paneng Kai (red curry chicken) and Kou Pad Ki Maul (spicy fried rice), both were very good! This place can become crowded but their food and service are good.

Very delicious food if you are looking for authentic Thai food, the food portion is big so its good to share, we are 2 and we ordered 2 main dishes but we couldn't finish them.
-Tom yum soup with shrimp was average
-chicken satay was good
-Stit chicken with thai basil, garlic and chili was veeeery good 👍🏻 highly recommend.
-The service was good. The line goes very fast, we waited for less than 10 minutes.

If I could give it a Cero star I would have. Should have know from the appetizers that this is the worst Thai food ever. The fishcake tasted Like something frozen that has been reheated. Absolutly not authentic Thai food. Tom Ka Gai also worse ever. How can you serve that kind of Rice? Soggy and watery? Green curry chicken...seriously? Come on!! Nothing special and actually waste of my time and Money! I left disgusted and not wanting to eat Thai food for a while.....Sad! And the service was Bad. We were ignored and when we finally got the attention by standing up to leave, we indicated not being able to eat the cold and bad tasting food and instead of being understanding or come with any kind of solution the server got upset with the feedback. Never Again!!

Bird Thais Restaurant

Goodmorning!
Here is my review about Bird Thai Restaurant.
The line in front of the spot is really long so that means something special. They only do walk-ins. Since the line looks like it would take ages to get inside, it only took 10-15min to get inside.
While we were inside they gave us a wonderful spot in the center.

Food:
We have ordered a Tom Kha Kai soup, a Thai green curry with meat, seafood and the last one was the fried dorade with spicy mango salad. Especially the tom kha kai and the fish were wonderful.
The green curry was pretty nice when served hot, but when it is starting to cool down then the MSG is coming up to the front. Which is a taste, but I didn’t liked the amount.

Service:
The service was alright! Lots of waiters walking through eachother but they’re always standing there when you need them. Some small mistakes like a Coca-Cola zero instead of regular and some lemon missing. But alright, the bottle was blue and it has been a while since I’ve seeing that!
The last thing for me was the rice. We had a really small bowl of rice with the curry. It is literally enough for 1 person and eventhough we are both compact builded but still.. it is not so much.
So we asked if there was missing a rice then it came. But it was €3 that we saw later on the receipt. I think that can be better but perhaps it is their way of serving. Informing us would be better!

Atmosphere:
It is a nice cosy restaurant and always fully packed! The toilets are not that clean but it is crowed so I think there is no time to clean it.
The doors to explain if it’s a male or female toilet is quite stunning!
It is a nice place to eat.

Conclusion:
The interior is making your comfortable eating here, the staff is hardworking, the service is precarious and the price can be high.
So if we look at price-quality then it could be better, but since it is tourist orientated I think it might be a concept.

The service was good. We were seated quickly.
The food came pretty quick.
We liked the fish dish more. Although they charge you €3.50 for extra chili, which we found really pricey. And the don’t tell you, you just see it on the receipt.
