Chaophraya Birmingham in Birmingham

Here at Business Buzz Warwickshire we love partnering with Bas & the team at Chaophraya Thai Restaurant in Birmingham. For Buzz to be able to bring our monthly no fuss networking to the Birmingham business community our partner venue, Chaophraya is an invaluable part of the team.

It is always a pleasure visiting Chaophraya

Small James (santiago) gave an absolute 5 star service you couldnt want a better host than him! Attentive, friendly and with some exceptional recommendations he was superb! What a fabulous evenjng with incredible food! Food here is always fantastic but this was the best service i have had here! Thank you James for making my partner & my sisters birthday! Fab (look at them ribs!!!)

Had a lovely meal here with my wife on 01/10/2024 Staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We will be returning soon.

Came here with family for my birthday. Food was beautiful and one of the best Thai places I've ever been to! I didn't mention it was my birthday, but I think the staff saw my birthday gift bags and they bought me a dessert out and sang happy birthday which was so kind of them and they were so lovely throughout the service. Will definitely return!

I ordered pad Thai but the noodles is not cook and the food was cold

Attended an event here, the food & staff were amazing. Would definitely return.

Great service from staff - particularly Joel. Excellent food. We had between us: Chao platter, slow cook belly pork curry, pad thai chicken and steamed jasmine rice. Ambience also, is very good. The pad thai, was so good I ordered a takeaway of this also... see photo We will definitely return.

Great location but not very cosy inside and if you are celebrating a special occasion like birthday or anniversary DO NOT expect any special treatment. We went for my wife’s birthday and despite stating this in the remarks during booking the did not acknowledge when we arrived, I even mentioned it to the manager on arrival but clearly they are not interested. So if just going for food fine, it is good quality and service fine just don’t expect anything special.

The restaurant has great food and a fun menu, with staples like pad Thai but also special items like the Thai tacos (which were delicious!). The restaurant is beautiful and staff are super friendly. Overall a great place for a date night!

Great service . Great food Great company

Really enjoyed my lunch here. Lunchtime special of 3 courses for £25. Superb value. I had the salt and pepper chicken to start, followed by the Thai green curry. Both were delicious. Service was slick. Pleasant surroundings. Will happily eat there again.

Excellent service, polite, friendly staff members, food absolutely delicious 😋 I will be back. Came in a group of 10 friends everyone was happy definitely recommend. They also have the igloo pods outside, so romantic 😍

Let me start by saying the best thing about this restaurant is EASLIY the service that was provided by ADAM. He recommended in great detail drinks and food for me, my partner and children. He entertained our 2 year old, he took photos for us without us even needing to ask. He was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. If everyone that worked in a restaurant was like him it would be 10, 10,10 across the board. The food was delicious we started with CHAOPHRAYA sharing platter it was very tasty and filling. My partner had a beef khao pad ka prao and I had udan pad kee mao talay im didn’t want it to spicy so Adam recommended that I don’t eat the balls of pepper 😜 The kids had noodles (from the main menu) and chicken satay on stick with rice from the kids menu. The kids menu could do with offering chips as a side We had a couple of drinks they were delicious and looked fantastic. The desserts were also very good I will attach pictures with my review

Excellent food and admirable service received from Adam who helped us with our food choices and taking group photos. Will be returning here again a great restaurant. Well done!

So, I met my cousin here for a belated birthday meal last Friday. The waiter was great and even gave us a full rundown of the menu and offered some recommendations for food and drinks, which were spot on. However, the only thing that let this restaurant down was the fact that our food came out lukewarm, so it went cold before I could even finish eating it.

Wonderful place to have lunch or dinner, very nice staff, good location, we tried some new ( for us) dishes and weren't disappointed ...

Evening all TOH and me were in Birmingham yesterday (Thursday) and were peckish after our canal trip. We headed back to The Bullring. Ok. Quite a few chain places. Hunger drove us to Chaophraya. Which was lucky... We liked the look of the two course menu for £20. A starter (tapa?) and a main. TOH chose as her first course. MIANG KHAM. Ancient Thai Snack Sweet and savoury toasted coconut and peanut wrapped in pickled grape leaves. She loved it. Especially the coconut and peanuts. I chose as my first course. Alas no picture. Doh... MOO GROB. Crispy Belly Pork Based on a classic dish from the Trang region of southern Thailand. Roasted Pork and crispy belly pork coated in our signature sweet soy sauce. Quite fatty which is ok and very crispy which is good too. For her mainmy partner chose. PAD PRE WAAN GAI. Sweet and sour crispy chicken. Stir fry with peppers, onions, tomatoes and pineapple, topped with pomegranate seeds and spring onions. With jasmine rice. Again. She loved the crispy chicken and the stir fry mix of vegetables. I chose a fairly obvious main. GAENG KEOW WAN. Thai Green. Chicken with courgette, sugar snap peas, Thai basil and chilli. With jasmine rice It had three chillis on the menu. So forewarned is forearmed. It was very hot (as expected) but packed a complex deep flavour. An excellent lunch. Just what we wanted. Attentive wait staff. Pint of Singha for me and a mocktail for my partner.

Attended with a group for a work social meal. I was disappointed as I felt it was not an inclusive environment for all. I asked management if I can swap the alcoholic drink that comes with the set menu to a non-alcoholic / cheaper alternative as I do not drink alcohol. I was disappointed by the rudeness / lack of politeness in the response. Instead of explaining things I got a very blunt and hostile response. Overall , I didn’t think the hospitality/service was up to standard. The staff weren’t really helpful with explaining the menus and dietary requirements.

I really enjoyed celebrating my birthday here! We sat in the private dome and had a bottomless brunch. We were given speakers to play our own music and were also given a call bell, so that we could alert the staff if we needed anything. The food was amazing! Delicious and I left feeling satisfied. Our waiter Tai was very attentive, and sang happy birthday which I appreciated! I was also given a birthday cake free of charge. I definitely feel like this restaurant is very underrated. 10/10😍

Absolutely lovely restaurant, superb cuisine, delicious drinks, lovely staff and great location. Really was such a nice place to eat, I would thoroughly recommend!

Stunning Thai lunch for family of 6. Simply delicious and lovely staff, great location. I had the sharing starter, red chicken curry, Siam Smile (Passionfruit Martini) and the mango sticky rice, it was just superb. Would thoroughly recommend!

Great meal, good food and very enjoyable evening. Walked in and was served quickly. Friendly team, will definitely eat here again.

Had an amazing evening here with my partner the food was so good and the service amazing I would point out it's not cheap it's expensive but it's fine dining Thai style there is also a service charge that will be added to your overall bill at the end

We hosted a corporate cooking class for 29 people at Chaophraya. We opted for the package of dumplings for starter and a massam curry for main. It was really well set up for us when we arrived and the cookery class was easy to follow. The cookery package was very good value for money as it included a welcome drink, starter and main (with sides of rice and prawn crackers). Would highly recommend this as an experience.

Have been to this place few times. Food and service is excellent. Cocktails are fantastic too..

We arrived in need of refreshment and food after we had both had a traumatic day in different ways. We were quickly seated at a lovely table and glasses of Prosecco and a bottle of beautifully chilled Chenin Blanc arrived - followed shortly by a superb portion of spare ribs that we shared, The icing on the cake was the disc of grilled fresh pineapple at the bottom of the stack. The chicken green Thai curry and jasmine rice just gets better. We left at just before 7pm to go to a stunning performance of Hamilton and felt restored and reinvigorated thank you. Our server Shawn was a total delight - what had been a disastrous day became a wonderful evening experience- thank you so much

The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service was top tier. Bew and Adam were excellent, and made us feel so special. We will definitely be back soon!

I recently made a reservation for this Sunday to celebrate my wife's birthday. After researching various options, I chose this restaurant based on its stellar reputation and numerous positive reviews. My decision was further validated after speaking with an exceptional individual named Bas. Bas provided a comprehensive explanation of the menu, delivering information with remarkable clarity and precision. His professional demeanor and excellent customer service were truly impressive. In an era where outstanding customer service can be rare, Bas's approach was a refreshing exception. I cannot commend Bas enough for his outstanding service; he is undoubtedly an asset to your company. My experience thus far, even before visiting the restaurant, has been highly positive. Despite having many dining options, the high level of service I received from Bas has left me extremely satisfied with my choice. I am genuinely thrilled after my experience planning the perfect evening has been a nightmare as I found other restaurants to be rude and dismissive, none could compare to the exceptional level of service provided by Bas. His professionalism and attention to detail have set a high standard. I will update this review after my visit, but this exemplary customer service has already given me confidence that the evening will be wonderful. I look forward to posting another review following our visit.

What a fab place. Food was beautifully presented, fresh and tasty. We were blown away by the cocktails but more so by the welcome and friendly service b

Lovely experience at Chaophraya, Birmingham. Had a delicious birthday meal in one of the private dining domes. Special mention to our server, Alanya, she was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. Kop Khun Kha Alanya!

Had a fabulous meal with my mum at Chaophraya the staff were super friendly and accommodating and even gave us a sample of a drink so we could try before we buy it. The food itself was delicious and to be honest the Thai green curry was the best I’ve ever had! Don’t get me wrong it’s quite expensive but definitely worth it as it’s so fresh and authentic. I was absolutely over the moon as I noticed that they sell my favourite (Thai mango sticky rice) but I was so full so asked if could have some to take out and they bagged it up for me which I really appreciate. Will definitely be returning again , thank you

Food was good, not amazing. A bit overpriced.

Probably one of the best service I have ever experienced. Food is also amazing. I felt like a princess, thanks.

Had a lovely meal, all the dishes were delicious, I particularly enjoyed the stir-fried rice meal with chicken. Spicy but not too spicy. The ambience was pleasant inside, quite calming. Our waiter Adam was really nice, everything was served quickly and he gave us plenty of advice on what to order as well as being generally fun and pleasant. Would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful birthday meal here, we booked a dome which was really nice and got given our own speaker to play our music and they even provided a heater incase we got cold. Adam went above and beyond, very attentive and his friendly personality made it a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, starters, mains and I even got given a little cake with a candle to finish with complementary shots. The cocktails also went down well! This will always be a spot I will look forward to coming to, great food and amazing service. Thank you all!

The restaurant is very neat with varieties of mouth watering dishes. The staffs are also fantastic with lovely customer service

Excellent service for the whole staff. W Shout out to Mark our waiter. Great food

Awesome staff and overall food experience. Food was lovely. Was actually worth the money if you're looking for a city Thai experience. Not cheap but reasonably priced. I have to say quality dishes and flavoursome.

Great food but the food is saltier than expected. Its not cheap but its pretty good!

Excellent location in the heart of Birmingham. A stones throw away from Selfridges. Excellent service and all of the food was cooked to a good standard. Nice cocktails. A small outdoor seating areas Would recommend

A restaurant with an attractive space in the center of the city

Limited menu but good food as always

Very good and prompt service. Small issues addressed quickly. Will recommend.

Staff have always been welcoming and accommodating, with the food always being excellent. The portion sizes have always been perfect for me as well, filling me up nicely.

Very quiet but food and service very good

Delicious food, amazing staff, all round beautiful memorable experience. Chaophraya is quickly becoming my go-to spot for Thai food! The staff is incredibly friendly. The portion sizes are great and the restaurant itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Great restaurant for winter or summer. Good atmosphere and decor inside, upstairs and down. Very clean and comfortable. In the summer there are outdoor options on the balcony upstairs and also downstairs. Excellent service from greeting through to service and speed. We have tried several dishes and everything is a very high standard.

I had a mild Thai Green Curry which was okay. The curry lacked a depth of flavour, and while fresh, felt like a rushed job. The service of the food was sloppy, with sauce spilled onto the serving platter, meaning it spilt onto the table and caused a mess. Over the meal a server asked how it was for me then proceeded to deliberately misgender me when I replied. For a higher price point I expected better, and while the food was good, not happy about the service.

Only one fault, because the food blew my mind!! I had the chicken tacos to start and they were a different way of life 🙌 crispy fried chicken with flavour, the chicken visually looked like scratchings but still had that meaty chicken texture. For the main I had green Thai curry and there signature fries, next time I will go with rice, I think the fries should be part of a sharer in my opinion

Sawasdee! This place is always busy on weekends, but we finally managed to try it out yesterday on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. We were greeted with 'sawadee ka' at the entrance, which made us feel right at home. The ambience was very nice, and we received friendly and attentive service from Adam. My friend and I had Tom Yum Kung, Crispy Duck Salad, and Spicy Southern Stir Fry Chicken with Jasmine Rice. We were also delighted to discover that there was a two-for-one offer on Thai iced tea, so we couldn't resist ordering it. All the food was delicious, and even the Thai iced teas were divine! We were too full for dessert, but we'll definitely save room for it next time. We will definitely be back. Please maintain the quality of the food. 🙏🏼 Keep up the good work, Adam. Khop kun ka.

Absolutely fantastic, the food was wonderful so fresh and tasty. Staff were so kind even though we got in the restaurant for the last sitting, they went above and beyond for us.

Very much enjoyed my visit Will be back

Amazing food, amazing service and a beautiful venue! For such a lovely restaurant in the centre of Birmingham you'd expect it to be super expensive but the prices were surprisingly reasonable, portion sizes are huge so the value for money is excellent. The food is delicious, piping hot and super fresh, also amazing cocktails! Would definitely eat here again.

The restaurant space is incredibly spacious and comfortable, providing ample room for guests to dine and relax. As for the food, the portion sizes are just right, and there is a wide variety of dishes to choose from, catering to different tastes and preferences. The staff members are exceptionally friendly, ensuring that guests feel welcomed and well-taken care of throughout their dining experience.

Pleasant staff, great Thai food and quick service. We were really impressed and will definitely be coming back! Chicken and duck are halal which is a bonus too :)

Haidilao is great, the service and food are double five stars, it must be praised

Delicious, authentic flavours, I highly recommend.

My visit was phenomenal. The food is 1st class, the cocktail is amazing. The service is awesome. I was served by Bom, she was amazing tonight. Special thanks to the whole team as well. Great spot for a chill dinner.

I love this restaurant,been here twice now,food is delicious, especially the chicken pad thai,staff are all really friendly and polite,good location too,by the bullring shopping centre.

Took awhile before we got to order and about 40 minutes till we got our starters. We ordered the start platter and really enjoyed the mix of items and how tasty they were. We also really enjoyed our mains and being Thai ourselves we enjoyed how authentic tasting the food was. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The food is overall fine, simple but ok. The service is not the best one, they removed my napkin as soon as I finished my food, even if I was still drinking my tea. My friend had an allergy and they didn’t want to change or remove any ingredient because otherwise the dish would have “taste bad”. I think that if a client asks for a variation they could make an effort and do it, unless you have it already made, which was not the case.

I have some food allergies that they couldn’t accommodate. They couldn’t cook something without sauce, or without onion or garlic, and they couldn’t replace meat with tofu. In the end I had rice and egg. There was no apparent reason for this, the restaurant was not busy, they just didn’t want to. Very disappointing

This is the second branch I have been too. The restaurant does not disappoint. The service is truly amazing. All the staff are very friendly. The food isn’t too expensive either when compared to other restaurant We went for dinner, it was very busy but we did not wait too long for the food. There is no onsite parking, you would have to park in one of the near car parks.

Amazing food, can't find a bad thing on the menu. Staff are super polite and helpful

Brilliant food 😋 will always come back and recommend to others

I love this food .. we have been in the week for lunch and the green curry was to die for so couldn't wait to go back. Returned for my birthday on a Saturday .. prices wete higher.. but still lovely food. That vegetarian platter shared start was amazing. My only disappointment was the waiter said he was glad l told him it was my birthday.. but then nothing. No happy birthday.. no discount /drink, no fuss or acknowledgement.. Which was very disappointing as l wax a returning customer and other restaurant would have acknowledged a birthday person .

I recently dined at this restaurant with my family, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that the evening would be marred by inconsistencies and disappointments. Upon perusing the menu, it became apparent that the pages were sticky, a clear indication of lackluster cleanliness. Our starters arrived haphazardly, with some items appearing before others, disrupting the flow of the meal. To exacerbate matters, the starters arrived at our table before our drinks, a clear oversight in service protocol. While the lamb curry managed to salvage some semblance of satisfaction with its flavorful profile, the accompanying jasmine rice fell short of expectations. Instead of the fragrant, fluffy texture expected of jasmine rice, it resembled sticky rice, indicative of poor preparation. My daughter's disappointment was palpable when her king prawn noodle dish arrived with a mere three king prawns. Having dined at numerous establishments, she had never encountered such a meager portion, leaving her feeling let down and unsatisfied. As we concluded our meal and prepared to leave, not a single staff member bid us farewell, compounding our disappointment. The lack of acknowledgment and courtesy further tainted our overall impression of the dining experience. In conclusion, our visit to this restaurant was marked by inconsistent service and mediocre fare. While there were moments of culinary redemption, they were overshadowed by numerous shortcomings. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this establishment based on our disappointing encounter.

Once again, a fabulous meal. Dined in a dome and it was a great experience! The staff are absolutely lovely and so attentive. Great dining experience. Try it.. you won't be disappointed ♥️

If you’re ever looking for a wonderful place to go with great service please go here! Our server tonight was Aum and she was exceptional in service she was very attentive to me and my partner. Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed the Food and Amazing service from the staff. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely come back ❤️

The good was excellent. We had the gaeng massaman which was very tender and a tasty phad thai

I love thai food and what we got served here was 🤯

Tried to use the 30% discount voucher as the main reason we booked. Told to read the conditions - we couldn’t use it as our party was for 7 and maximum for the offer was 6. Hiding behind the small print. I wouldn’t go back again. Asked if they could do anything but got a blanket no response from an unempathtic blonde women who was front of house (I mention this for management feedback).

1) Great waiting staff, welcoming and caring. 2) Lack of prep, moved tables while mid meal. 3) overbooked, causing disturbance with seating arrangements. 4) Sweet and sour chicken was cold and the “sticky” rice was a brick of grain with little give in its shape.

Recently, I've made this splendid venue a staple for my monthly networking gatherings. Intrigued by their tantalizing menu, I decided it was time to indulge after some shopping. Opting for lighter portions, my partner savored the Grilled Sea Bass Fillets, while I opted for the Crispy Chicken with Cashew Nuts. We complemented our meals with Coconut Rice and Five Spice Fries. In short, the experience was nothing short of culinary excellence – every bite was a delight. We left feeling satisfyingly full, having polished off our plates and a pint of Thai beer to round off the meal. A special nod to Joel for his top-notch service – truly first class. We're already looking forward to our next visit, with eyes set on the Sharing Platters. A gastronomic gem worth revisiting! 👍🏼

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday, nice food and team were very friendly. James served us and the customer service was amazing. Will definitely return.

Cool place and it's the best Thai restaurant

Great service, amazing dishes and tasty deserts as well.

I would eat here for every meal if I could. The food is beautiful, as is the service. Went here by chance and we were not disappointed 🙂

Very tasty food and lovely service

I came there for lunch and it was soo good that I came back with my friends for dinner the same day. I got the prawn pineapple fried rice , spring and summer rolls, lemon tart, lychee mojito. My friend got the dumplings, pad Thai, chocolate fondant . This was her first Thai food experience and she’s obsessed now. I’m Pescaterian and there was plenty of options for me and vegetarians . The cocktail and desert menu is amazing too. My first waiter was amazing, but our second waiter , James, was the sweetest guy ever and very attentive to us. The outdoor seating and indoor fish tank is aesthetically pleasing as well. Please go!!! ❤️❤️

Visited 27 December Delivered food to the table. No cloth napkins Or paper ones. Hard to get waitresses attention. When we did get they attention. It was at the end of the meal. So they brought over napkins no apologies. But when I looked at a other dinner They didn't give them napkins.

Great food. Great service. Nice and authentic. “Sawadee Kap” 🙏

Amazing little find, friendly service with great atmosphere and amazing food

Didn't like the food but the atmosphere and service was fine.

The food was ok, not as good as expected, a bit bland. But apart from that we loved our servers.

love the place! service here is 10/10

Excellent service, polite friendly staff & excellent food.

My second visit here and certainly won't be my last. Met with very friendly front of house staff, costs taken and seated promptly. The food is very close to the Thai food served in Thailand. Many restaurants promise authenticity but fail to live up to it... not here. All four of us were very impressed. The service charge on the bill is optional. They fully deserve this, and more.

Food has gone down hill, either too salty or plain Grilled seabass came with a tablespoon of sauce - asked for more and was told it’ll be £2 extra. For a dish that was £22 you’d think they could spare the extra charge.

I really like this restaurant! 😋 The food is very tasty. I love both the lunch options & the dinner options. Our waitress, Snoek, was really lovely too! 🥰 Thank you! Excellent service from all staff. So kind, helpful, patient, friendly & knowledgeable regarding the dishes.

We stumbled into this restaurant by chance and were lucky enough to get a table for 4 with very helpful staff squeezing us in. Food was very tasty, although the portions were not very generous, especially the rice and Thai crackers hence the 4 stars. Expect to pay £25 for the cheapest bottle of wine.

Great food, nice vibe, amazing service. Would definitely go back

Absolutely divine place! The staff are so friendly and hospitable, the food and drinks are delicious and so authentic! Booked a table for myself and my husband recently for dinner. This being the second time but the first time was for lunch and I can only say that the service and food were amazing on both occasions! Thank you for treating us to a lovely evening. We will be returning soon. 10/10

Lunch menu starter main and desert for £20. Didn't even mind the 10% service charge water was refilled when empty, friendly and attentive staff I think they earned it. Would recommend and would definitely visit again.

Food was great, take on board the waiters recommendations as they were spot on. Would recommend. Very well priced (at lunch time anyway) would recommend and return here again.

The food was very tasty, the service of high level ! Congrats

Great food very tasty and not bad price, I cannot wait to be back in Birmingham just to visit again!

It had been quite some time since my last visit, but today I had the pleasure of returning to this lovely establishment for a Networking Lunch. I must say, the service was impeccable, even when I accidentally knocked over and shattered a glass of orange juice - they handled it with grace. Now, let's talk about the food; I'll let my photos speak for themselves. Each dish was a feast for the eyes, and I can assure you it tasted just as delicious as it looked. I also rediscovered the delightful flavors of Thai beers during my visit. In the spirit of research, I tried two different bottles, and they did not disappoint. 😋 I wholeheartedly recommend this place, and I can't wait to come back for a full meal with all the delicious trimmings. It's an experience you won't want to miss!
