Chaophraya and Palm Sugar Lounge - Leeds in Leeds

Have not been here since 2019 for my 50th birthday and came last night to celebrate my 55th birthday. I had a lovely time and realised how much I had missed coming here. The food and service was excellent as always and I will definitely becoming again real soon.

We decided to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary here, as we have very fond memories of visiting when we used to live in Leeds, quite a few years ago now. The service was fantastic, the food was awesome and the decor is simply wonderful. Thank you so much!

We arrived around 6pm only a few diners in but still a great atmosphere The service was very friendly and quick Food was the tastiest Thai meal I have ever experienced Fantastic value for money in a very classy restaurant..we will definitely be back 😊

Food was mixed bag. Some of the Pork in the stir fries was so hard it was inedible. We found the sauces under spiced and overly sweet. Spiced fries were not pleasant. Prawn crackers were lovely and the noodles side was delicious. Price was reasonable waiter was good but there were delays despite the restaurant being very quiet when we visited.

After nearly 17 years, I revisited Chaophraya, and it was just as incredible as I remembered. The flavours were so good that I didn’t want the meal to end. The staff were all very friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I used to sit upstairs during my visits years ago, and I don’t recall a seating area downstairs, but that’s not to say there wasn’t one. The only thing I’d have liked is a bit more food for the money, but other than that, everything was perfect.

This spot is amazing. Disappointed when Manchester 1 shut so we travelled to Leeds and omg it was perfect. My tamarind duck was soft and crispy, not fatty, sweet and literally to die for. Had with coconut rice 😋 nom nom nom. Came this time for friends birthday and was made to feel special x Make the trip now every 3 month just for this restaurant.

Excellent food, gorgeous decor, and first class service. I’m never disappointed with this place! We don’t live in Leeds but every time I get the chance to visit I always make a point of having dinner here. Tasting/set meals are amazing. The Chicken Pad Thai is perfect. The Chicken Tacos are out of this world!

Lunch out with the family at Chaophraya was excellent, great choices both for vegetarian and meat eaters.Portion sizes were very generous

Booked online and mentioned our anniversary. Warm welcome upon arrival. A lovely note on the table to say happy anniversary. We opted for the tapas, ordered rice not realising rice already comes with it. We probably didn’t need the extra rice. Wonderful service, beautiful food and great decor. A lovely anniversary meal, highly recommended.

What an horrendous experience, I was told my starter that came luke warm was ‘supposed to be a cold dish’ the weeping Tiger main was full of fat and gristle but worse of all was the ‘Manager’ who seemed to want a stand up argument at our table and kindly informed us he was ‘Trying to be nice to us’ The wine was good

Within stones throw from the Hilton, we were surprised to be able to get a table without reservation Decor is snazzy from the outside and is matched from the inside Plenty of seating without making you feel crowded Staff were friendly and efficient An impressive line up of both well known and familiar Thai dishes, as well as those you wouldn’t typically expect - a good variety on the menu to choose from Starter selections were the chicken satay, salt and pepper squid and tom yum soup The satay was spot on, chicken just a tad bit dry Squid was too chewy for my preference And the soup could’ve done with being a ton more spicier - preferably clear base too Pad Thai was the selected mains for all - with King Prawns and Pork Belly as the option All went down well Could’ve done with having the traditional strong chilli oil on the side tho Not sure if Leeds locals are a tad soft on being able to handle their heat 🤭 Only gripe is that it’s a bit pricey for Thai food, but I guess it has to match the ambience

We came for a bottomless brunch for my 34th birthday. Tom, our waiter (may I add the perfect length in height), was very attentive and even brought me a piece of birthday cake! The food and drinks were spectacular. We couldn’t recommend more highly.

Been coming here for 18 years and this sadly wasn’t the best ….. Booth had candles behind people’s hair which could have ignited - dangerous and we had to blow them out Carpets and toilets tired and not luxury Signature dish of massaman curry sadly lacking - gloopy sauce, tough lamb and not worth the £25 Such a shame as the starter was amazing but not as good as it was - time to look elsewhere?

The Leeds restaurant is in a great location, beautifully presented with attentive staff and an enjoyable ambiance. I have dined here a number of time before and more recently in January of this year, having a great experience. The food however for my daughter’s birthday left a lot to be desired and I can only think they were missing a chef or had some poor meat delivered that day. The beef really wasn’t good. It was chewy, difficult to cut and fatty. My parents struggled to cut the meat which left me highly frustrated with a bill heading northwards of £600. I am a huge fan of Thai cuisine and would always recommend this restaurant but after last nights below par meal, I would probably not go back for a while and have reservations about recommending.

Fantastic venue, Fantastic food Fantastic service and great value for money. Highly recommend this anyone who likes Thai food or wants to go and try it.

The restaurant was very quiet it was 2.15 on a Saturday afternoon. We paid £49.00 per person for bottomless brunch. The starters were very good and hot. The mains came and were cold. We brought it to the attention of the waitress who was happy to take it away to be warmed up. A rude manager came over to see what the problem was. Her words were - "how much are you wanting off the bill, you've already eaten some of the food". Yes we have otherwise we wouldn't known it was cold. We explained we didnt want anything taking off the bill we just wanted hot food!. She walked off saying that she couldn't deal with us - How rude!. Other than being cold the food would have been good. We were watched and talked about by members of staff until we left making us feel uncomfortable. We had no intention of arguing over the bill and we paid it in full but we will not visit again or recommend it to anyone. Disgusting customer service

The food was fantastic. The mixed starter was great value for money, really nicely presented and delicious. Mains were just as tasty, all really well done. The atmosphere was great and service attentive. The only reason I gave this 4 blobs instead of 5 is that we were seated at a table next to a very narrow walkway where the staff kept knocking my chair when they walked past. We asked to move and were seated in a much nicer place but I just feel that shouldn’t have happened. Why does that seat exist if the staff can’t walk past without bumping you and why don’t the staff themselves realise that’s not a nice experience for someone. Aside from the poor seating position at the start, I was really impressed with my meal and dining experience and am very likely to return.

Overall very enjoyable experience, good choice of food on the menu, really good service. Food was nice and quick, first time visiting after a few years and lived up to the memory. Definitely a place to visit if you enjoy Thai.

very enjoyable thai with all curries and other main courses of high quality - my children enjoyed the desert too - fine atmosphere and very attentive service from tom

Love this place, food excellent and such lovely friendly, polite staff, brilliant for special occasions or a lunch out

A high class Thai restaurant with a reasonable priced menu. I'd been before but took 3 of my friends who were blown away! Every aspect perfect!

This place used to be amazing with high quality food and taste. No atmosphere, dated, toilets were freezing. Slow service, although the staff were very nice. Just gone completely downhill and won't be going again. The one is Edinburgh still amazing as i have just been.

Lovely atmosphere , calming vibe, wonderful Thai food cuisine. Service was very attentive, and the cocktails delicious.

Walk in Quiet table as requested. Great food as always. Ordered Tamarind duck from the specials. Thank you great attentive service

A bit disappointing! Read the reviews and thought we'd go. Starters were lovely but all the main courses were just too sweet, and the sticky rice was rock hard! Toilets had no hand dryer working and had run out of paper towels. All in all a bit disappointed

Beautiful food. This place has been hit and miss over the years but got to say, amazing the last time we went. They made a vegetable tempura for me, which is never on the menu,but I love it. This was followed up by the vegetarian red curry and coconut rice. The only niggle is the portions of rice are tiny and not proportionate to the amount of curry. Please give larger portions of rice so we can eat more of the curry!

So disappointing have been coming here since it opened and had private dining with friends and family numerous time but I have to say I have truly fallen out of love with this place Booked on January special 30 % off food on main menu. The starters were ok but the mains not good at all Tom yum soup teaming with oil and the jungle curry was like soup we mentioned it to waitress who spoke to someone and stated the curry is a wet one and Tom yum has chilli oil not mentioned on the menu and it was not edible we got the bill and took off the service charge of £8 as nothing else was explained or changed just an apology from the poor waitress who was really lovely certainly will not return until I hear otherwise last week we went to a competitor where it was exceptional and I had 700 people read my review within 7 days what an utter shame

Attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere and freshly prepared tasty food, all combined to make a lovely visit to this restaurant. Would highly recommend.

Nice looking inside, a little cold. Food mediocre and starter was luke warm - large chip on the serving plate (surely this was seen in the kitchen). We wouldn't rush back to dine there again. Friendly greeting on arrival.

Amazing food as always. Cannot fault it. Recommend to anyone who loves Thai food. So fresh and the taste is amazing! Service and ambiance on point. Live dj playing chill out tunes. Just perfect

Great spot for a casual night out. The steak was so succulent and the chicken Tacos was amazing!! Excellent service by Alexander who kept us topped up with drinks all night! Will definitely come back again

Stunning venue, a lovely atmosphere and absolutely gorgeous food. Staff were attentive and friendly, I loved the welcome of Sawadee-Kah as we returned from Thailand only a few weeks ago so it was lovely to be greeted in Thai again. Both my partner and I ate every bit of our starter and main as it was delicious. Id highly recommend the Salt and Pepper King Prawns special, and Smoking Whip cocktail- loved it! My partner had Thai tacos and the weeping tiger, steak. Presentation was beautiful and we had a wonderful, relaxed evening. Thank you!

Excellent food as usual but poor handling of my query re January food discount advertised in the lavatory. We were a party of 8 for a late lunch. When I had to query three times (the first two being told I was wrong) I produced...

Simply still one of the Best Dining Experiences in Leeds. Party of 8 with everyone kept happy and looked after like they were the most important person in the room. Food was top drawer as usual. Can't wait until the next time.

Both myself and wife visited Chaophraya on a wet sleety Sunday evening our first visit the restaurant is stunning and the staff are amazing we were served with drinks and our food order take a sharing starter and then separate main courses The food was...

Lovely place, lovely people and lovely food. Hope to visit again soon. Bottomless brunch was amazing

We love this restaurant. Been several times over the years, but first time for quite a while. The food was just as good as we remembered and the atmosphere (it was a Friday night) had a real buzz to it. Pleasant staff and cocktails before...

Celebrating a birthday. Lovely welcome and comfy seating although a little dark overhead so difficult to read menu. Fabulous service & food was delicious! A little hasty with table clearance as only just put down our cutlery and still had napkins in hand. Lovely little...

Visited as a family to celebrate a birthday. Great service and the food was amazing. Would recommend. The restaurant itself is beautiful

Regular visitor at this establishment, never ceases to deliver a quality experience. We held a work Christmas night out here 2022 which was excellent. Today family time and excellent service , very hospitable hosts not one fault. The wine of choice today was Sauvignon Blanc...

As good as it ever was, save for the price inflation, particularly for alcohol. Good food, good portions, good service. Would merit five stars, provided you confine yourself to solids. My fellow-diner ordered but I paid. The gasp when I saw the bill must have...

The first time we eat at this lovely restaurant. Outstanding food and great service. All three of us had really tastefull starters and mains. Real quality.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere for my husbands birthday celebrations. The staff were great dealing with such a large party. We will certainly be back

Lovely, classy restaurant a cut above where we would normally go. The atmosphere was great (even though we had to eat quite early) and the staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel very welcome. The food was absolutely excellent, the tastiest Thai food I've...

Excellent experience and made to feel very special, visited for our 10th anniversary and were given a free glass of Prosecco to celebrate whilst we sat at the bar. We were then shown to a lovely table that had been decorated with an anniversary card....

Excellent food and great service! Lots to choose between and really good staff. The food is among the best I have had outside Thailand. Will be back!

The food was good but served on cold plates. The whole “experience” felt extremely rushed so was less of a dining experience that it should have been for the money in my opinion so with that in mind I wouldn’t recommend

What a poor experience for a prebooked birthday treat. We were seated near the door despite lots of empty tables and had to ask to be moved due to the cold draft every time the door opened. We had to encourage the staff to take...

Wonderful dining experience. We booked the private room room for my mums 65th birthday. Service was amazing & food delicious. Thank you to our lovely server.

On Friday night we visited Chaophraya after seeing it had won the Yorkshire 'Best World Restaurant' awards 2023, so were eager to give it a try! We booked our table for 6:30 but were running late. We called the restaurant to let them know, which...

When we arrived there was a Deliveroo bike parked directly across the entrance, so we were unable to actually get in. We had to move to the bike to be able to get in through the door. We were told our table wasn't ready, which...

Starters we had, we gave a 7.5 out of 10 overall(and that’s very generous) but the mains were atrocious at best. I sent my meal back and ate nothing where as my dinner date has what she could scrape from her place, only because it...

This restaurant used to be so good, however we were extremely disappointed with our experience of afternoon tea. Firstly, we had booked in advance, however were put on a table quite out of the way and there was silver tape keeping the carpet down (which...

Not for the 1st time we really enjoyed the weekend Bottomless Brunch. Slightly dearer than others, but food and choice of drinks is excellent and the adj added to the ambience.

Amazing cookery class, led by true professionals. Easy to follow along with and tasted so good. Mia the tutor was excellent along with the rest of the team. Still think my spring rolls were the best 😂😂Highly recommended for a team building activity.

Bad customer service. Even from one of the directors, she was so rude! Uncooked food. Food didn’t taste the same as it normally would. Three of my friends and I ended up in bed for days with food poisoning and not even a apology. Avoid...

Music blaring out from midday until 10pm clock at night. No joy for diners or for surrounding residents. Ask the management to turn down the racket, was told we can play music until 11pm if we want to. Not the customer service experience you would...

Beautifully decorated and delicious food, however the portion sizes are not very big and prices are quite steep. I enjoyed the kao soi gai (lovely flavour and spice) but would have preferred it with egg noodles rather than the glass noodles it came with. Decent...

Amazing service from arrival to leaving. Great quality food and drinks. Well priced. Staff were very attentive but not pestering which is rare these days. We weren't rushed either. 10 out of 10!

Absolutely fabulous meal. Went to celebrate my mums 87th birthday she thought it was absolutely fabulous too. All the staff were very professional friendly and efficient - from the lady who greeted us to the numerous who served us and bade us goodbye. We had...

Excellent place to eat food gourgues, people great, good atmosphere friendly helpful staff great experience sll round made our daughter feel special on her birthday.

The most amazing place for food, the staff are amazing I would rate the entire experience a 10/10. Everyone went above and beyond it was just gorgeous, I loved it so much!!!

Amazing food. Highly recommend the pad thai. Get the thai crackers too as you get loads. Great service too. They made my mums birthday really special x

1st visit for birthday - 8 of us had a bottomless . Superb food, decor, service & atmosphere. 5 star rating on everything. Would highly recommend.

Wow what an amazing night, 22 people celebrating 80th birthday. Food, service, atmosphere was impeccable, well done and thank you so much for making it birthday to be remembered

Went with family for a birthday meal. Staff were great and attentive but didn't bug us too much. The table was nicely set and the food was gorgeous. Really nice atmosphere, clean toilets and cocktails are brilliant. I cannot fault anything. Thanks.

Lovely place for a special meal. Food gorgeous & served beautifully with a lovely smile. We had the lunch menu which was great value. Will definitely return ASAP

First time visiting here yesterday, came for a bottomless brunch with friends and have already recommended this place to so many people! The DJ and saxophonist playing on the terrace completed the perfect setting for a brunch. The staff were very attentive and friendly, the...

Excellent meal and great value. Lunch menu not given but on asking it was brought. Set meal, plenty of choice. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Not great. Come here about 10 years ago,was one of the best meals we've ever had. Unfortunately last night was no where near that experience. 9 of us come for my friends 50th. The food & flavours were great but we might as well have...

Amazing food as always. The best Thai restaurant in Leeds. Thank you so much. Food is always incredible

We visited here for a family birthday bottomless brunch which was fabulous the drinks were flowing and you get way more food than at other bottomless brunches which I’ve been too the staff were very attentive and friendly would highly recommend

First time visiting this restaurant having tried all other Thai restaurants in Leeds. Left really disappointed. The food is expensive and just didn’t deliver. The starter sharing platter contained everything battered. I ordered sea bass stir fry for main which also came battered (was not...

Brilliant venue, lovely staff who were happy to help and very attentive. Food was absolutely amazing, drinks were a good price too!

The food was very underwhelming, won’t be returning. Alcoholic drinks also tasted really watered down

The food and service was on point. I loved the atmosphere and music. The host was fantastic he had great knowledge of the company background and food menu. He was also very bubbly. Don’t remember he’s name but I think he’s Italian 🤷🏽‍♀️😁

Visited for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Staff were all very friendly and attentive but not overbearing. We shared 2 starters and 2 mains. Starters were fab! Mains were great too. Quick service, reasonably priced and clean surroundings. Definitely worth a visit!

My partner and I have wanted to go for ages. We always walk past and it’s busy and other people have said good things about it. When we arrived, I asked the hostess if they did anything for birthdays because it was my partner’s birthday....

We vited here on 25th March 2023 for my mother's birthday. Lovely staff and location, but poor food. The chicken Thai tortillas starter were luke warm, and the Thai beef curry had to be left. The beef was of the lowest quality, anaemic looking and...

Overall excellent night with very welcoming staff and great service and food. Arrival cocktails. Starters - fish cake, dumplings. Main - fish and beef plus coconut rice.

Third time and third time amazing! Honestly! The food is amazing, service is great, place is stunning. It just made a top spot on my regular eat out list.

The general vibe of the restaurant is nice but today the service was slow, items ordered forgotten about, wrong garnish with drinks and no butternut squash in the vegetarian red curry. There are several tears in the carpet that just look scruffy and our waiter...

We went to Chaophraya yesterday for our business dinner. Film is an amazing server. He cheerful and very good service. My friend and I plan to come back soon.

Had thai tacos and then salt and pepper prawns. Both were fantastic. Extremely competent and patient service too, exceptional.
