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.

On our first evening in Amsterdam, as we were walking around the Dam Plaza area, we collectively…read moreopted for Thai food for dinner. My daughter located Krua Thai and guided us there. It wasn't far and the walk along some canals was scenic. We arrived around 6 p.m. (I think) and they asked if we'd made reservations. We had not, so we were seated upstairs. There was a narrow stairway up to their 2nd level. They had about 9 tables there. The servers brought menus and took our drink orders (still water). We considered splitting 2 orders among the 3 of us given that we were traveling, but the server indicated that the restaurant mandated everyone get their own entrée. We got one curry, one Pad Thia, and one veggie fried rice. This actually ended up being about right given the portion sizes. Everyone liked their food. We did need a 2nd still water for the table. We noted that another table got a pitcher of water, so maybe you can ask for tap water versus still (?). This place is worth checking out if you are in Amsterdam.

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.

An awesome Thai restaurant in Amsterdam city center!…read more We were walking around in Amsterdam city in the afternoon and was browsing for some Thai food for lunch. 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!

You immediately think you are another city then in Amsterdam. The staff was extremely friendly and had a very good attitude with us arriving so late. Being a group that enjoys family style, we needed Ho ordering a hodge of food. I will say the group favorite was the curry. This was everyone's vote but my own. I personally liked the chicken lo mein. It definitely shined over the mall Chinese food I had a few weeks ago. The Thai was my second favorite and it was a second favorite for the table as well. Very flavorful with a good hot and sweet vibe with the additional compliments available. I would go here again if it was the only thing open. Nothing was WOW... - Forever Foodie- Ela

I don't know much about Thai food but I do know that the two times that I came here and the different things that I ordered, were all very delicious! I really liked the coconut cream soup with the mushrooms. I love mushrooms and I love anything coconut so why would I not love this?! This place is not very expensive so just go here and try it out. You really won't regret it! Although it's not expensive, you might be tempted to keep ordering more... I know I was! That's always a good sign, I'd say.

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. My husband had the beef with garlic and white pepper which is onions. Also incredibly good. Both dishes came with a side of rice. At the end we were stuffed and super happy! We came back twice before leaving Amsterdam!
