"Visited a few weeks ago on a friday evening and after being greeted with plenty of warm smiles and a 'Sawatdee kah ' we were shown to our table flanked by wooden carvings and exotic plants, we could have easily been in any of the up market restaurants you will find in Bangkok. Now me and my dining partner Gemma are some what self proclaimed experts on Thai food, having both visited Thailand and eaten at many Thai eateries. Not to mention taking part in our own personal cooking class with Mrs Ya of 'Gordon Ramsey 's Great Escape '. For starters we ordered a Special Mixed Starter for 2 and a spicy Som Tum salad, a popular salad in Thailand consisting of shredded papaya, carrot, tomato, chilli, peanuts and dried shrimps (can be ordered without shrimp). Now I 'm not a fan of seafood, but hardly noticed the shrimp, and the salad was delicious. The Special mixed starter was amazing, it was a mix of Tiger Prawns in batter, Chicken Satay, minced Chicken in filo parcels (tung thong) and chicken toast. We washed the plentiful starters down with a bottle of Chang beer each, Thailand 's signature beer, and the only foreign beer I can drink in England and be instantly transported back to the sun drenched shores of southern Thailand. Next was the mains, I ordered my all time favourite Thai Curry, the Massaman, a curry that I had sampled in Koh Tao a few years ago, and had struggled to find anything that came close since. Gemma was a little braver and asked the waitress for her recommendation. She was advised to go for the Gang Ped Gai, a twist on the classic Thai red curry with Chicken, chilli and pineapple. My massaman was right up there with the one I first tasted on the little island of Koh Tao, delightful slivers of beef, meddled with chunks of melt in your mouth potato and carrot. Now I know that sounds more like a stew, but the cocunut milk and the subtle heat from the chilli brings it back to curry status, and I finished wanting more. Gemma 's choice was impressively hot to say she ordered it medium spiced, but none the less was still wonderful, and again moorish. We both ordered a side of rice with our curries but the portions of rice are quite large, so one should do between two. We deliberated about ordering dessert as we were suitably stuffed, but thought what the hell, and shared a mango sticky rice. The rice was actually quite light, and the mango was so fresh and juicy, we polished it off in no time. Throughout the meal our glasses were refilled with water the moment they got half empty (or half full for the optimists) and the service was extremely attentive, even though the restaurant was packed. Overall our bill came to £65, which included 2 bottles of Chang beer each. Money well spent, and we will be heading back soon to try out more of their expansive menu."

The worst place for Thai food in Leeds. Food was not delicious. The portion was tiny and very expensive. Avoid!

Totally delicious, fantastic service, I can't fault this place. Well actually I wish the portions of coconut rice were a bit larger but I am a greedy pig!

When I compare it to my other two favorite Gang Kiew Wans in Leeds, it may not have the bold flavors of Tampopo, and it lacks the sophistication of Chaophraya, but for a combined experience of quality food and service, it's very close. I highly recommend dining here if you love Thai cuisine; you won't be disappointed!

I love this place, I always want to come back here for more. But one thing I would change is the seating arrangements. This place is beautifully decorated and has me staring at everything longer than I know. Apart from a 50/50 chance of not getting a comfortable seat everything about this place is AMAZING! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a taste of delicous, mouth-watering food.

"This is the best Thai restaurant in Leeds and one of my favorite spots. The food is very traditional and authentically Thai. Their vegan options are all delicious. The portions are quite generous, so it's easy to get full! The staff is always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is vibrant, so you may have to wait a bit for a table, but the food and overall experience are definitely worth it. During happy hour, there are great meal deals at reasonable prices. My friends and I visit here often!"

The original and the best...the latter part of this sentence may be a small lie as I haven't been to the new Headingly version of the award-winning restaurant and, as I have a small prejudice against restaurants in heavily populated student areas I am still more likely to go out of my way and head to the Chapel Allerton Sohkuthai rather than Headingly. Here's why; crammed with tasteful and enchanting Thai paraphernalia, courteous smile-full service and lip-smackingly tasty food that lives up to its reputation, I love the whole dinning experience of this restaurant. On top of this you can get mid-week lunch time deals as well as Sunday buffet deal at under 10 squid per person.

I absolutely adore this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and as a bonus, the food is delicious! It's also quieter compared to their location in Headingley. We visited for the Mother's Day buffet, and while we've been here plenty of times before, this particular visit was especially amusing. My sister brought my 9-month-old nephew, who looked quite dapper in his Thai outfit. All the waitresses were smitten and took him around, even bringing him into the kitchen! It’s safe to say that the little charmer enjoyed the attention! The food was fantastic, with plenty of vegetarian options. I’m not sure if they offer the buffet every Sunday, but if they do, I'll definitely be ba...

I visited a charming little Thai restaurant that boasts beautiful decor, creating a serene and peaceful zen atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, dressed in traditional Thai clothing, which I appreciate as it gives me a glimpse into the culture. Now, let’s talk about the food—THE FOOD! I ordered the Tong Cam special, which was elegantly presented on a three-tier cake stand and included delicious vegetable spring rolls. However, it also featured fish cakes, battered vegetables, and prawn toast, the latter of which was quite bland and lacking flavor. A rich dipping sauce could have definitely improved that dish. For my main course, I opted for Pad Thai, a chicken noodle dish with v...
