Maenaam Thai is frequently included in the rankings of the best Thai restaurants in Amsterdam. This is where you should go if you want pleasant service and tasty meals at a reasonable price and it's conveniently located in the city center. Given the size of their menu, it may be difficult for you to decide what to get.

Fish Cakes and Fried Butterfly Shrimps from the beginning are highly recommended, then Pork, Chicken, or Beef Stir-Fried with Vegetables in Oyster Sauce. Another popular dish is the Grilled Duck Filet with Bamboo, Long Beans, Coconut Milk, and Thai Sweet Basil Leaves. Best Tom Yum soup - so fragrant and tasted of lemongrass and fresh veg. The Thai Green Curry was really delicious too as were the spring rolls. But whatever you go for here, you’ll be in for a treat.

Take Thai isn’t an average Thai Restaurant. When you walk in, you'll be surprised by the restaurant's crisp, white décor and immaculately arranged tables. You may expect authentic dishes served in a modern setting. This restaurant is wedged between the Herengracht canal and Rembrandt Square, Thorbecke Square, on the left coming from the canal.

The food was well prepared, warm, and plentiful. And if you'd like, accompanied by a fine glass of wine. You can select à la carte or from a number of fixed menus on the menu. The spicy prawn soup is one not to miss out on, as well as the dim sum with crab, prawns, and chicken as a starter. Recommendation for the mains course, a good pick is the fried beef with black pepper or the prawns in Take Thai sauce for seafood enthusiasts. After that, they serve finger-licking-good banana fritters with a honey custard sauce for dessert.

Rakang Thai is situated in the popular Jordaan area and guarantees a good night out. A nice little place a few hundred meters from the city center. The staff is really nice and the food was great, with typical Thai flavors. They are all about fresh ingredients and dishes that are made to share with friends and family. Everything was very great, the food was very delicious and the staff are very welcoming.

The best way to start your dining experience is with the Five Buddies platter that comes with chicken satay, chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, deep-fried Thai fish cake, Thai spring roll, and crispy shrimp wanton. The crunchy prawns marinated in a special homemade tamarind sauce, garnished with shallot & garlic oil, Thai coriander, and roasted chilies are amazing. Or, if you’d rather go for meat the crispy stir-fried chicken fillet with a sweet shrimp paste, mushrooms, onions, and roasted cashew nuts is a good one. Definitely worth a visit, you’ll never be disappointed.
