Ayutthaya Thai Imbiss in Düsseldorf

Great Thai food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

The food was absolutely delicious, and the value for money was excellent. It was perfectly seasoned, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. This tasty meal has definitely made me look forward to my upcoming trip to Thailand. Thank you!

Wow, fresh Thai dishes prepared by a Thai woman and her German husband. Cash only. The papaya salad I took home was delicious. We'll definitely eat here on our next visit to Düsseldorf. Very, very good food. And super friendly owners.

My girlfriend and I are regulars at Ayutthaya and have already tried the entire menu. You can tell that the owner cooks with incredible passion, always using the freshest ingredients. Even in Thailand, we haven't had better food than here—at most, just as good. Her husband knows us by now and always treats us with a good dose of humor and genuine friendliness. Whether it's Pad Thai, Tom Kha Gai, Panang or Massaman curry, Som Tam or Sate Gai skewers—everything tastes incredible and is incredibly delicious. The dipping sauces are made in-house and don't come from a bottle. The portions are very generous, and the prices are more than fair. We love Ayutthaya and can highly recommend this restaurant to any Thai fan. Ayutthaya outdoes Sila Thai in Düsseldorf!

The food is a true explosion of flavors. Absolutely delicious. The couple who run it are very friendly and accommodating. They maintain absolute cleanliness and hygiene. I've been there several times now and I'm always impressed. The selection on the menu leaves nothing to be desired.

It was my first time dining here. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and it certainly won't be my last. There are three tables, each seating up to four people. After 7 p.m., they only serve takeaway food.

Great authentic Thai food. Freshly prepared, straight from the pan.

We went there because of the good reviews. Unfortunately, we were completely disappointed. The food was really not good. The Tomka Ghai soup was completely over-seasoned and completely unloved. Our two main courses weren't particularly good either. Unfortunately, the poor quality of the food was immediately noticeable. The mushrooms in the soup were significantly overcooked. We also got diarrhea for free on top of that :/ Absolutely not a recommendation!

Excellent food, would go back :-)

Highly recommended if you like Thai cuisine.

Very tasty and authentic. Highly recommended!

Very good, authentic Thai food. Always freshly prepared. Not exactly cheap for a snack bar, but the quality justifies the price.

The shop is pleasantly simple and not at all hip. Instead, it impresses with absolutely insanely good food. Honestly, I haven't had such delicious food in a long time. The prices are reasonable, and the two who run the place are exemplary in terms of friendliness and communication. I'm simply thrilled and sad that the shop isn't in Hamburg.

Update 2025: I was back after a few years. Not much has changed, except that there's now another employee (a German man) behind the cash register. He seems a bit strict/serious, but he's actually quite nice. The red Thai curry was very good in terms of the sauce, but tasted different than in most Thai restaurants. What bothered me, however, was that there was no small pot of fish oil (Prik Nam Pla) or sambal oelek, which is standard in almost all Thai takeaways. The man said, "Everything tastes so good here, you don't need it here," but as a guest, I would like to decide for myself whether or not I want some chili pasta on my rice. Another negative point: You're not allowed to eat in after 7:00 PM. The man said, "As an exception, you're still allowed to, since it's only 6:55 PM." Original post: It was extremely hyped when it opened. To me, it's a completely normal Thai takeaway, like the ones you find very often. The service and cook were very friendly. The menu was relatively varied, but typical Thai dishes like Laab Ped (duck salad) were not available.

My partner and I went yesterday. It was a safe (child-free) and calm place to eat. We enjoyed our dinner with delicious and authentic flavors. There are many options, from side dishes to meats, and the prices are reasonable. Payment is cash only, which is fine. I also found the interaction between the owners very endearing. The combination of food, experience, and quality left me with a very good impression. I highly recommend it.

Clear recommendation, very tasty and authentic Thai food.

Excellent food. - The way you want it and sometimes you can't even get it in this quality in Thailand. It's also nice that wishes are followed. So we asked for the Som Tom to be prepared "Thai spicy", which was promptly followed and to everyone's delight. Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup were also very good. It's almost a shame that the number of seats is very limited. We'll definitely be back soon.

I immediately got stomach cramps and diarrhea afterward. The man (presumably the owner) was also very unfriendly. Without the diarrhea, the food would have been completely standard fast food.

Very nice and, above all, delicious! 🫶

Absolutely. It's great that there are still such good butcher shops with good lunch options.

Ayutthaya offers an outstanding culinary experience. I had No. 83, duck with red curry and coconut milk. The sauce was slightly creamy and the spiciness was perfectly balanced. You can enjoy a truly delicious meal here in peace and quiet, with very few seats. I would be happy to return.

There’s something deeply satisfying about finding a place that doesn’t try too hard: no gimmicks, no theatrics, just good food that stays with you. This spot is exactly that kind of eatery. Unpretentious to the core, it’s the sort of place you might walk past if you didn’t know better, but once you’ve eaten here, it becomes a favorite.

I lived in Berlin for ten years – certainly a mecca for Vietnamese cuisine. By comparison, Ayunthaya is certainly up there with the best. The culinary skills of the couple who run it – others have yet to hold a candle to them. Pad Thai is unrivaled. In my opinion, the best in the city. I've eaten many other small and large dishes (peanut skewers, spring rolls) there, and I found that the high standards have been maintained throughout. No one who loves Thai cuisine should be impressed by the admittedly sober ambiance. Motto: the best food isn't found where the neat tablecloths beckon, but where a genuine atmosphere prevails. A word about children being kept outside. I know from my own experience how nerves little ones can get when the food has to be perfect. Therefore, the affected people have only themselves to blame if they're asked to leave because they can't keep their children under control. The owners reacted very moderately.

Great food and pleasant prices!

Absolutely delicious and fresh, no canned fruit or anything like that. Homemade sauces. A few tables, dine-in with service until 7:00 PM (no reservation required) and takeout until 8:00 PM. There are varying degrees of spiciness. Reasonable value for money. The "snack bar" is very clean. POSTSCRIPT: We were there firsthand when small children with dirty shoes stood on the chairs and screamed. The parents apparently thought it was normal. We expressly welcome the ban on children!

Those who are ventilating aggressively unobjective reviews here are precisely the parents for whom raising children is a foreign concept. Unfortunately the majority. It's not difficult to encourage children to be considerate, I say as a mother. Now the more polite minority has to suffer. But at least you can eat very well and undisturbed here again.

Although I have never eaten here, I would like to praise the decision "Without Kimder". I have two children of my own and enjoy going to restaurants with them, but from an early age they were taught how to behave in restaurants. Other guests also have the right to eat in peace and not to hear shouting and to have strange children around their feet and under the table, and then have to hear from their parents: "It's just children who don't understand!" If children don't understand and are still so small that they don't understand what you have to/should do where - then you have to go to the playground and let off steam there because that is the perfect place for the children's good development.

Very tasty food, freshly prepared, great! Highly recommended!

I think the “child ban” is great! Finally eat in peace without the constant noise. But the problem is not the children, but the parents with their oh-so-loose upbringing, which is no upbringing at all. Keep it up, we'll come back more often now!

Just 5 stars for someone daring to do that in this day and age. In a way, I really understand that. It's not the children who are the problem, it's simply the parents. Raising children is part of having children. No kindergarten or school is responsible for this, only the parents. So take responsibility for your children and take care of them, then no one has anything against children in a restaurant.

If restless children who don't stay seated have caused unpleasant situations, the operators have the right to say that their snack bar will no longer serve that kind of thing in the future. Nobody gets upset about Berghain or posh restaurants on Sylt, and they don't let everyone in either. So relax people :)

It was very tasty and the prices were okay too. Would love to come back

very good food in a relaxed atmosphere (without badly behaved children)!

Dear parents, all of you who are upset about the fact that a "ban on staying with children" has now been announced: You alone are responsible for ensuring that the owners no longer put up with this anti-authoritarian and disinterested self-image of an egomaniacal "Me First Generation". Finally start actively looking after your children again and keeping them busy. Put your smartphones away and take an interest in the little people you obviously fathered, instead of vehemently enforcing your me-time at the expense of everyone else. Stop giving restaurateurs bad reviews just because they enforce the peace and quiet that you actually want. And by the way: The owners/tenants have the right to the property and can decide entirely who they want to serve - and who is better at driving the wheeled carriage to the nearest oat milk gas station.

It's very pleasant that children are no longer welcome here. Children in restaurants who can't behave really bother me a lot. They scream, stand at your table and stare at you and are just a nuisance.

Great shop...great food...friendly service and since children are no longer allowed you can also eat there in a relaxed manner. That was a good decision!

Very good food, friendly operators and best of all, children are no longer allowed in, so you have peace and quiet from the unmannered pests.

My wife and I always enjoy coming here and, in addition to the very good food, we also enjoy the very good service and the peace and quiet. We are not against children, but their upbringing very often leaves a lot to be desired. There are now a lot of companies where children are not welcome. This is also the case in the thermal baths in Burg Spreewald. Here, too, there were more and more problems with the “kids”. For families with children who give their offspring a “free” upbringing, there are also opportunities to entertain themselves. There certainly won't be any problems there!! We wish the restaurant all the best and will definitely be back soon!!!

I really like your courage and the consistent and certainly necessary implementation of the “child ban”! As soon as I'm nearby, I'll visit you for the first time! The reason you gave for your action lies with the parents and this is also more than correct! Hotels often rely on an over-16 concept for good reason, because there is hardly any other way! Good business to you!!

The place is very nice, the food just great. I like how the staff cares about you & your order. Always smiling, always polite - and the taste is just unforgettable. Thank you for your work!

Top restaurant. And all the eco-moms who can't take their children with them here. THAT'S EXACTLY WHY people don't want you anyway.

The food is very good. It tastes original, just like in the markets in Thailand. Negative comments here are obviously mainly from parents who wanted to eat here with their children. But it's also understandable that instead of assuming something, people are known to prefer to express their frustration in the form of a bad review.

It's really great here! No annoying people who don't know how to behave! No more parents who don't take care of their naughty children. Very tasty food that is prepared with love and patience. And you can also eat it in peace! There should be more restaurants like this!

There should be many more restaurants that children cannot access. I find this really very pleasant!

Very good food, relaxed & quiet atmosphere! Recommendation.

Best Thai food, authentic and at fair prices

Very good food and, above all, I find it very positive that no children are allowed there. Because in today's society these hardly have any Behavior. Many people should take this as an example

I think it's great that children have to stay outside. That's why I'm happy to go there again.

The food is absolutely not up to the usual standard and is highly recommended. The very friendly service is also worth mentioning. A particular highlight I would like to mention is that you can enjoy your food in peace and without the presence of naughty children who are constantly running around and screaming loudly. This should happen much more often and I would support it.

I'll give it 5 stars ⭐️- I don't know the store, but I know how they start immediately after the picture report. :-) good luck 😉

When I'm in Düsseldorf, I almost always eat at the Ayutthaya Thai snack bar. Here the food is cooked really fresh and only after ordering; you feel a little bit like you're on holiday in Thailand. Fortunately, you can now have peace and quiet while eating, as small children are no longer allowed to eat directly in the restaurant. Thanks!

Very good attitude towards children. When you eat you want peace👍 Keep it up.

The vegetarian dishes are simply great, everything is crispy, fresh and aromatic. I very much welcome the decision to run a child-free restaurant. Thanks.

Probably one of the best Thai snacks in all of Düsseldorf and North Rhine-Westphalia. I have rarely eaten such good and authentic Thai cuisine outside of Thailand. Also at fair prices. Unreserved recommendation!

Very tasty, I would love to come back

You can finally enjoy your meal in a relaxed manner.

As the father of a little boy who I love more than anything, all I can say is that the decision not to allow small children is completely fine and their sole concern. The hate here online comes again from helicopter parents who want to force their opinions on others. Here is a 5 star rating to compensate for some hate ratings.

A VERY NICE SNACK. I THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY GREAT THAT YOU CAN EAT IN PEACE SINCE CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED IN. WHEN THE FOOD IS TAKEN FROM THE PLATE AND THE MOTHER THINKS IT'S NOT BAD, THEY ARE JUST CHILDREN, THEN WE LOSE APPETITE. NOW THERE IS A PLEASANT ATMOSPHERE. KEEP UP AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE DURATION.

Very tasty and authentic cuisine.

The problem is not the children, but the parents, whose incompetence cannot be surpassed. The children can't help it because they aren't/weren't raised properly and they annoy all the uninvolved guests. They still think it's ok and don't do anything. Finally someone to put an end to parents!

Very good food and despite it being absolutely full, it was very relaxed and quiet. This is due to the ban on children in the snack bar, which I think is a good thing, even though I have 2 kids myself.

Everything is always excellent! Anyone who complains because children are no longer wanted: The snack bar will have had a hard time with this decision and will certainly not have chosen such a step for no reason! These days it often feels like kids can do whatever they want in restaurants. Many parents simply don't care. I'm glad that I can now always dine here in peace and quiet! :-)

To all the hater comments here: If you can't raise your children and just let them run around, then that's your problem. We live in a free and democratic country and every company has its own house rules. The owners of the Thai snack bar deserve my respect and I like coming there!

Great food and SUPER MOVE not to let the screaming children in anymore. If you don't behave, you have to stay outside. EVERYTHING OK SO!

Super delicious food and nice and quiet.

We had a very tasty meal there. Incidentally, there are plenty of shops where the kids can and are allowed to play/eat while running and screaming, even in their socks. The lack of education, often presented as super tolerant and hip, means that there are more and more restaurants and hotels that simply don't have the nerve anymore.

Very tasty and always freshly prepared. I find the thing with small children understandable, so it is simply respected.

Good authentic food in a calm atmosphere. I really like the principle!

The food is very tasty and the staff makes sure that the guests don't miss anything. Would go there again at any time. What I also really liked is the peace and relaxation. This conveys the authenticity of the Thai people very well.

Very tasty authentic Thai cuisine.

I can very well understand the decision: no more children in the restaurant. I wished more of it! Unfortunately, children today have no upbringing, are allowed to do everything, walk over tables and benches, and have no respect for other people! As a guest, just don't show a negative reaction, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble! That's why I only choose certain places!

Best Thai snack in Düsseldorf. Chef with a rough exterior, but very good food. Whatever we think is good, we finally eat in peace. Without parents what their children cannot raise. Of course not everyone is like that, but no dogs in the restaurant is the same. Some are well behaved, some are miserable. So as a boss, I don't see how the child/dog is raised. Then a ban is written at the entrance. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO IN.

I didn't eat anything there, but I give it 5 stars because the operator takes the freedom to decide for HIS shop and HIS guests. Why does he have to serve people who can't behave? Maybe those who give this one star should blame the parents who simply can't raise their children - and not a restaurateur who has had bad experiences. For me: my shop, my rules.

Our favorite Thai snack bar by far for several years now. The chef and her husband manage to bring real Thai cuisine to Düsseldorf. It tastes like Thailand, which is probably because the owner grinds and mixes the spices herself. There is no canned fruit in the food here, but fresh fruit, such as in my favorite dish (29): pineapple, lychees, grapes, etc. I can only say high praise to the cook. For a few months now, families with children have only been able to order takeaway. The owners are child-friendly and have children themselves. Unfortunately, in recent years I too have felt that parents don't show their children enough boundaries. Especially in Germany. I don't notice this abroad. My parents were also self-employed and some of them had problems with parents who didn't provide any control. I can therefore understand the decision well.

I think it's super tasty and it also smells like the owner is speaking out against the ill-bred pests Sawadika

Don't get involved in the smear campaign! There are numerous reviews here from people who have never been here and who want to destroy the existence of the operators through reviews due to tendentious reporting by inflammatory journalists. Everything is good here. Terrible what has become of humanity and digitally participate in this mob! People have no conscience and act like they are the good guys. These “imbeciles” should all be sued for defamation!

Deserved 5 stars. It tastes good, the service was incredibly nice and, to be honest, I find the innovation that you can eat in peace without children very pleasant. There are also hotels that are only for adults for precisely this reason. Nobody escalates with bad reviews and outrage. When I was young I had to behave or there would be trouble. Today parents think that they have to be the children's best friend and be "cool" (of course this doesn't apply to everyone, but in my opinion it applies to the majority). Families cannot expect limitless tolerance everywhere. I really like being in this restaurant and enjoying the peace and quiet.

Super delicious food, and finally eat comfortably and quietly without the noise of children

The owner seems to be quite strict, but that doesn't mean that he is unfriendly. The food is super delicious... one of the best Pad Thais I've eaten outside of Thailand

Traditionally Thai and super tasty. Are often here or pick up!

Some of the best Thai food in Düsseldorf. Ambience, 5 stars; the price makes 🙏

Most authentic Thai restaurant in the city

Very pleasant, friendly, fast and super tasty

Brilliant food for reasonable money. Ambience is clean but very sparse - typical Thailand... The service (owner and her husband) is very nice and helpful.

Our local, authentic taste and super friendly!

The shed should be banned! I had hair in my food. I was only there with my husband and when I found out that children weren't allowed there, I was completely shocked! Not recommended!

Extremely delicious. The most authentic Thai food I know in Düsseldorf.

Great food, great value for money and always a friendly smile. There is no better Thai food in Düsseldorf. Thanks!

2024 Not offering card payment automatically results in a 1-star rating for me

Great food, not so great service. Have eaten here and enjoyed the food. Brought friends to try the food and took an Uber to be here an hour before they closed. Walked in 19:02 and was refused a table . I explained that on Google it says nothing about the table service ending at 1900 and that we were very hungry and paid an Uber to be there so we could eat quick and be out before 8 and we were there 2 minutes after 1900. They refused in a not so friendly manner and offered us to take the food and go. So be warned Don't trust these times and don't expect them to care or be understanding

Wow, this Thai food is completely different than the big restaurants. Everything is fresh and only made to order. It tastes super intense and is so delicious. The two operators are open-minded, friendly and happy to provide information about your ingredients. Special requests are gladly accepted.

We used to come here several times with our child, even though he is small, he always behaved really well. Now we are no longer allowed to come because the owner lumps everyone together and excludes children from the start. This is so incredible that it's hard to believe. Allow yourself to do that with another group of people. It would be good for the restaurant if someone else took over the service, because this hostility certainly doesn't come from the cook.

We have been eating at the Ayutthaya Thai snack bar for years because everything is really tasty and absolutely authentic and freshly prepared. We haven't even been disappointed and I absolutely cannot understand or understand the negative reviews given here on Google. Even in Bangkok you have to look for a long time to find such authentic cuisine. And the price-performance ratio is absolutely right, you could even add an extra euro because fresh produce costs more than thousands of mass-produced products and that's what makes this snack bar special. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. And another word to all parents who are unable to raise children Chairs are for sitting, not climbing Feet belong under the table and snack inventory is not a toy And saying no to children has never done any harm

Unheard of... we were also thrown out and very aggressively and with an arrogance that I have never experienced in my life, even though our 3 year old son was sleeping in the stroller!!! I would give you one piece of advice... -change your job -they become more human And very important... - visit a very good psychologist They don't take the food to go

CHILDREN ARE NOT WANTED!! It is already questionable whether something like this is legal. However, no one with an ounce of decency should leave even a single euro in such a store. The interior is ugly, the food is mediocre and the ingredients are of the cheapest quality. But even if the food here was at a star level, you can hardly eat in a snack bar where children are not welcome. If the operators cannot cook in the presence of children, they should urgently change careers, preferably stay at home and seek professional help when the opportunity arises. I hope that no more guests get lost here.

It was tasty, although somehow not quite 100 percent Thai food as I know it from Thailand, but it was ok and tasty.

Great little shop...Very nice owners and delicious food. I find it cheeky that some people give bad reviews here just because small children are not tolerated in the store. I thought we lived in a democracy?! I work in the catering industry myself and can understand the owners very well. 80% of children are now poorly behaved. I will visit the store more often in the future, as you can end a stressful day there in peace. Thank you for this great decision.

Nice Thai snack bar in Flingern. The food was very, very tasty and the portions were generous. The service was top. We were well advised. Everything nice and clean. The issue of poorly behaved children was also nicely resolved. Which I also welcome. Price performance ok. Recommended

The best curry I have ever eaten and I was in Thailand for several weeks. You can feel and taste the passion of cooking and that a Thai chef is at the stove.

Delicious fresh food and tasty. Still allowed to eat at closing time. Friendly service and top cuisine
