Outstanding service by Sammy and rest of the team. Memorable food (lot of Veg/Vegan options along with typical plethora of choices for Fish/ Meat lovers) with exemplary service makes it a worthwhile place to visit in busy Amsterdam for among the best Thai food you can get in town. We had to hardly wait to get a table but it is recommended to reserve a table considering it is a busy area and popular restaurant. We ordered few shrimp dishes, Veg mushroom coriander soup, Pad Si Yu chicken (which is not in menu but they were very gracious enough to prepare it custom for us), Phad Pak Tofu cashew nut dish. Everything tasted amazing and at the right level of hotness. The best part was the service, Sammy and rest of the team made us feel more than just home. They were extremely kid friendly as well. The neighborhood has plenty of options for food, drinks, and dessert, but the level of service will keep them in front for a long time to come.

I’m into very colourful food and obviously lots of flavor.
So when this food was served to us, i was in awe knowing it is just a small restaurant we passed by while strolling in the central of Amsterdam. This presentation making my meal more appealing.
Is it good? Yes, sa katunayan, we order extra food while we are diggin. A very authentic thai food, affordable price and a very good taste.
So when you go to Amsterdam, check this restaurant, MaeNaam Thai Restaurant, small place but the food was really great, friendy workers and near to the center.

We had a great dinner at Maenaam. We started with Tom Kha Kai (15) and Tom Kha Kung (16), which made for a very promising beginning. For mains, the Plaa Muk Shoe Shie (21) was good, but the Massaman Kai (87) was the highlight of the meal. The service was very friendly—I’d highly recommend this spot to all Thai food lovers.

We just arrived at opening times. Attention and service were really helpful as was the first time in a Thai restaurant and the food was incredible. We really enjoyed it. What a pitty we are travelling today if not we will repeat. Essential stop for next time in Amsterdam.

The tom kha soup and pad prik (chicken with red curry and green beans) were both delicate, delicious, and beautifully presented. If you like your food spicy, ask them to bump up the level — it’s mild.
The server was friendly and efficient.
The decor is fine, but there was a strong smell of artificial fragrance, like toilet deodorizer, that interfered with our enjoyment of the food. If you are sensitive to such things, I suggest sitting by the door. To the restaurant: please consider changing to unscented products!

Make a reservation as this place is worth it!! Great food and fast service. Just a little of the tourist route but its truly worth it for some delicious authentic Thai cuisine.

The foods were really tasty. We asked them to make the foods moderately spicy they did it perfectly. But the space is small and we sat near the entrance door, so everytime whenever someone left the door hitting the chair.

We came across this hidden gem ccidentally as we were 100 meters down the road and were looking on google maps where to eat nearby. Well a hidden gem it was.
From the outside, you can easily pass it by but once you enter the restaurant, you come into a cozy Thai atmosphere that you would not expect when standing outside.
The service is outstanding and the waiters are very friendly and helpful. The kind of service you expect when you travel to a resort in Thailand.
The food is superb. The dishes are presented in a way that you expect to get in a €€€€ restaurant. The food is just delicious. No dishes that we had, had a flavor that overpowered other flavours so the dishes were well-balanced. And the Thai milk Tea was so delicious, I had 2!
We will definitely come back when we are in town again, they can count on that

Its A Wonderful Life
With so many glowing reviews, I thought I’d struck gold. Boy, was I wrong. Having just landed in Amsterdam after a long-haul flight, I was too jet-lagged to hunt for hidden gems, so I took a leap of faith and went with Maenaam Thai. If food blogging has taught me anything, it’s that leaps of faith are usually rewarded… but not this time.
I ordered the Phad Krapao Moo with Rice (Stir-Fried Minced Pork with Chili and Thai Basil) — a dish so common in Thailand you can find it anywhere from street carts to Michelin-starred kitchens. Safe choice, right? Apparently not. The flavor was, let’s say, polite — mild, restrained, the kind of taste you’d introduce to your grandmother if she was allergic to spice. Not bad, just… aggressively average. My own homemade version — made while wearing pajamas and yelling at Netflix — is more flavorful. Portion size was generous, though, so points for quantity over quality.
Here’s the kicker: in Thailand, this dish nearly always comes crowned with a sunny-side-up egg. Here? It’s a “luxury add-on” for an extra €4.95. For that price, I expect the chicken to personally deliver the egg to my table and apologize for the inconvenience.
The spring rolls were next — and I suspect they had traveled a long journey too, from the freezer aisle to the deep fryer. The filling was so minimal I considered submitting a missing person’s report.
The one saving grace? Thai Iced Milk Tea. It was decent. Not life-changing, but at least it reminded me of why I like Thai cuisine in the first place.
Overall, Maenaam Thai is like a movie with a great trailer but a disappointing ending — it looks promising, delivers big portions, but lacks the soul and punch of the real thing.

If you want Thai food, this place is the real deal. It’s a little hole in the wall, but trust me… the food is incredibly good. The menu is enormous.. pretty much every Thai dish you can think of. I got overwhelmed and went basic with the chicken pad thai. But let me tell you it was the best chicken pad thai I have ever had! We also ordered spring rolls as an appetizer, which was equally delicious. My only complaint is that the service was really slow. I don’t know if the server forgot to put our order in but it probably took 30 minutes to get our drinks and then another 30 minutes to get our food and then another 45 minutes for anyone to bring our check. I know that the service in Europe is a lot slower and more relaxed than the States, but this was really slow. I’m still going to rate it 5 stars, though, because the food was just that good.
