Chaophraya Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

I have never given a 1 star before, and to their credit the restaurant gave me full refund of the meal, so gets 2 stars to be fair. But, having booked a table for 20.15 to specially celebrate my daughter's 21st , we had to wait 20 minutes to get my table, and a further one hour to get our food. The icing on the cake was seated next to about 30 people drunkenly singing along with an amplified song track. Wtf ?! It's not about the money - you only get one chance to celebrate certain things. Night ruined.

I don't have words. Everything was PERFECT! Staff is very nice,food AMAZING and climat WONDERFUL!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I am in love with this place🥰🥰

Very hospitable service & nicely prepared food. I’ve been to a few other Chaophrayas but this one has to be my favourite.

Incredible flavors, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere! A must-visit—Thai-approved!

Super welcome, super food and super accessibility. Disabled badge parking right outside too. Fantastic!

Very tasty authentic Thai food. Classic dishes interpreted in a modern way combined with great service (Marcy) and great unusual cocktails.

Had a great time at champagne brunch deal! We had nice table with view on Edinburgh Castle! Our waitresses was friendly and lovely! Bless her has a glass disaster and we were kindly offered bubbly as an apology which was nice gesture! Good was delicious and we started our day in great atmosphere and in happy surroundings. Thank you to Chaophraya Edinburgh for great service! We will return for girls catch up soon!

Amazing food as always and great service. It is however "much" more expensive than other Thai restaurants in Edinburgh Brilliant food Again great food and service

If you are only dining in Edinburgh once, make it here. A fantastic experience, food excellent, staff outstanding, setting beautiful.

Very Taiwanese style, but the taste is good🤣 But just eat in Taiwan, no need to come here hahahaha And £22 for appetizer + main course is a bit expensive

Our first time visiting, the overall experience was lovely. When we arrived, we were seated quickly, but unfortunately they had the terrace area are full. We ordered the lunch set from “Eat out Edinburgh”. Our meal was lovely, good taste and well dressed. On the other hand, the glass table view should be reserved well in advance as the view(during a sunny day) is so amazing and the seats are too limited. The services of the restaurant is also very inviting, offering a great evening ambiance. This place is unbelievable, it's so beautiful inside, and the food was equally unreal. I would definitely recommend going if you want to eat fancy Thai food, it will cost a bit, but the experience, atmosphere, and food will make up for it. We would definitely come back again.

This place is unbelievable, it’s so beautiful in there, the food as-well was unreal i would definitely recommend going to it if you want to eat fancy, will cost a bit but the experience, atmosphere and food will make up for it.

Lovely place with a great view. Good variety of meals and cocktails 🍸

Excellent food, but the evening was ruined by the abysmal service. Over 50 minutes wait for our main courses. The coffee offered as compensation was cold by the time it arrived. The waiter was pretentious and patronising.

Very disappointing! We had to wait almost an hour for the food. People who came after us were served before us. When we finally got the meals, they were very cold and tasteless.The waitress didn't bother to check on us how was the food. At the end when we got the bill, she asked if everything was ok and when we told her that it was not she even did not apologise, which was shocking. Would not go again!

Terrible experience! We waited nearly an hour for our food while others who arrived later were served before us. When the meals finally came, they were cold. The waitress never checked on us, and when we mentioned the issue while paying, she showed no concern or apology. Extremely disappointing service.

What we had Sharing starters for two: spring rolls, prawn tempura, chicken satay. Highlight was duck salad £22 Wasn’t a fan or tortilla in all honesty. I would’ve preferred Thai crab cakes within my sharing starters but this was not an option so ordered separately £7.60 That Green curry. This was excellent £14 King prawn Pad Thai £12 Waiting staff were very friendly. Overall we really enjoyed our meals & will certainly be coming back.

Overall for our first time visiting it was a lovely experience. However if you decide to take the stairs, there isn't any clear signage as it looks as though you're just heading through a service door. When we arrived we were seated quickly but unfortunately they had the terrace area closed due to how cold it was yesterday. I heard a few people asking why they couldn't be seated there but this can't be helped in cold weather conditions. Our meal was lovely and we would definitely come back again.

Went for lunch on Sunday, had the chicken skewers main which were undercooked and have had food poisoning since.

I've not had worst Thai food than this place. Highly overrated. Chicken was over cooked and super chewy. Even the jasmine rice was terrible. Give it a pass. The only saving grace is the food presentation. Quick update - their staff is super nice. When I shared my experience with the server, he promptly took the food back and offered a replacement. I ordered pad thai this time and it wasn't bad.

I just had an amazing meal here! The food, drinks, and overall vibe were top-notch, and I can't fault the cleanliness or the fabulous welcome we received. The only hiccup was the wait time between courses—it felt a bit long for starters, mains, and desserts. If they can speed that up, it would elevate the experience even more. Can’t wait to come back!

Visited for Valentine's day. Whilst the other reviews paint a wonderful experience, ours was a disappointment. Overall service was mixed, quite a nice and attentive waiter, but service delivery takes a fair while (20mins to get a water refill, 20 mins to pay the bill). Food was a major disappointment. The plates are plated beautifully but flavour and texture do not follow. The chicken satay skewers were rather blend, spring rolls were damp, the duck was extremely dry, our lamb curry watery and the meat overcooked. However, the cashew chicken and the tempura were extremely well executed. Well done! In all, Chaophrya has been blessed with a wonderful location with great facilities full of potential. However, food and service make it bitter sweet (also dry more often than not)

Outstanding food, great location over looking the castle

The food was exquisite. One of the best Thai meals I’ve ever had.

I visited with a colleague on Tuesday evening and had one of the best meals ever! The service was superb and can't recommend the whole experience enough. I left my reading glasses on the table and phoned as soon as I got back to my hotel. I was told they'd post them to my home address and they wouldn't accept any payment. Received them today, I'd like to say a big thankyou to whoever organised this for me and I'll certainly be visiting Chaophraya again when I'm next in Edinburgh. Excellent food and brilliant free postal service :)

Forgot to write a review last year but a recent memory of the amazing time myself and my girlfriend had here compels me to write one. It was for my girlfriend's birthday and I called up to asked if I could bring them a cake before hand, which they presented beautifully. The staff throughout were so kind and our waiter was very friendly. The food (pork belly dish) to this day was the best I've ever had and was well priced too as a student. Made a truly special evening and we talk often of having to return. Highly recommend to all (plus, what a view)

Had a delicious dinner and lovely experience at Chaophraya. Had the gaeng panang (beef panang) and the chaophraya sharing platter. Both were delicious and full of flavour. Also were sat with amazing views and lovely and attentive service from Mills. Highly recommend and will be back for more meals throughout the year.

Service a bit slow (45 mins from arrival) but friendly and the food was lovely. Suspect that they were short staffed today. Other than that, it was excellent.

Been here so many times and never leave disappointed! Great food, drink and ambience. Thanks Angus for lovely service!

Avoid This Place – Terrible Service, Unacceptable Wait Times Absolutely appalling experience. We were a group of 15 people, arriving at 5 PM, with the last guest joining at 6:30 PM. We confirmed our food order once everyone was present, yet by 7:30 PM, our main courses were still nowhere to be seen. By the time we finished our mains, we had to endure another 45 minutes before they bothered to clear the table and serve dessert. Meanwhile, smaller tables who ordered after us received the same dishes before we did—completely unacceptable and unfair treatment. Throughout the excessive waiting time, we had to chase for updates twice. The first time, at 7:15 PM, the waitress assured us she would check but never returned with an update. The second time, at 7:30 PM, she took another 15 minutes to come back and vaguely claim the kitchen was "speeding up." Clearly, she did absolutely nothing the first time we asked, by which point we had already been waiting over an hour. It felt intentional, as though they were stalling just to push us to order more drinks. The waitress showed no interest in actually serving us and only kept coming back to ask if we wanted to order more alcohol. To top it all off, the table wasn’t even properly set up when we arrived, we were the only ones without napkins, and the overall lack of care from the staff was infuriating. An utterly disappointing and frustrating experience. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere that actually values customers.

Lovely view and fabulous Thai food. The cocktails are also amazing, the decor and staff are incredible.

This place was excellent, from the ambience, the attentive staff to the delicious food and creative cocktails. We can't wait to visit again to try more of the food and cocktail menu!

The views are really special and the service was timely (if a little cold) but I found the food disappointing and not aligned with the prices. The tofu green curry came as cubed tofu heated through in a green curry sauce. The tofu wasnt fried or cooked in any special way - it had the consistency of tofu from the packet. There was very little in the way of vegetables - just a few small pieces of courgette and sugar snaps. The cost was £17.50 + £5 for rice. Our starter (sweetcorn cakes) was tasty but came with odd chunks of vegetables. The restaurant is fine but could do with a little care. The menus were tattered, paint had chipped off the table, and the glassware and cutlery felt quite cheap, which is not what I'd expect in a restaurant presenting itself as higher end. Would not return.

Very stylish restaurant with a beautiful view. Excellent service. Delicious, beautiful and atmospheric. We will be back !!!

I have been to Chaopraya for the third time. They have an amazing view of Edinburgh castle. The quality of food has been consistently good over the last couple of years and my personal favourite is pork belly stir fry. Booking in advance recommended.

Fabulous food, very expensive though!

Omg, this is not only the best Thai food I have ever had, but the best steak I have ever had. I had the pork skewers to start, and the weeping tiger for main, the flavour was out of this world, I will always remember the amazing food, the atmosphere and amazing views of this place. 100% recommend.

After having visited myself one time, it was on the list to bring my parents for their trip to UK and Germany. The glass table view should be reserved well in advance as the view is amazing and tables limited. We were fortunate to get the best table in the house! THANK YOU TEAM! The food was equally amazing and matched the view and ambience of the restaurant. Simply everything on the menu is a worthy selection. The rest of the restaurant is also very inviting offering a great evening ambiance. If in Edinburgh, this is a must visit and enjoy the diversity of the town and amazing views!

Had previously been in the day and enjoyed great views over the city. This was our second visit and was at night. Food was excellent but the table was so dark we couldn’t read the menu, when food arrived we were literally stabbing around in the dark to find it. They then brought out a DJ. We’d gone for a nice night out not a club night. Will not visit at night again and save this venue for daytime.

If you get a table in the covered terrace overlooking Castle street, one gets stunning views of castle to the South and Firth of Forth to North. We had brunch which was good. Service very pleasant but slow.

We had the pleasure of visiting this Thai restaurant, and we were thrilled! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly polite and helpful in choosing the dishes. The menu offers a wide variety of traditional Thai dishes that not only delight the palate but are also beautifully presented. Every dish was full of aromatic spices and fresh ingredients, and I especially recommend the pad thai and Chaophraya platter – amazing! The restaurant is truly a feast for the senses, perfect for lovers of Asian cuisine. We will definitely come back again!

We celebrated our anniversary here, and it was nothing short of magical. The table with a castle view was a lovely touch, making the evening feel extra special. The food was simply mouthwatering, and our server Ming was fantastic—super friendly and attentive. The whole staff made us feel so welcome, and the live music added to the perfect atmosphere. We're definitely planning to return soon!

We miss our fave Thai Chaophraya in Manchester so we were excited to visit the Edinburgh restaurant when on a new year break. Attentive service, seated in the glass box with lively castle backdrop! The food was just as good as we recalled & we ordered a load of classics including their delicate sweet & sour, classic green curry & starters. Lovely night in a special little restaurant

The service was poor, we were placed behind a door near the bar, and no one approached us at all. Despite trying to call for attention, no one seemed to notice. Although there was an absence in that section, it shouldn't mean that staff from other sections should neglect their responsibility. The food was just average; Dusit and Rosa's are still better

My husband picked here for our anniversary as he thought I’d like the views of Edinburgh castle and he had been on a business dinner. We arrived early and were seated immediately however we were seated in what can only be described as a corridor, with the cutlery behind me and the toilets along the same corridor - at night you can’t see the views as the blinds are down and we weren’t at the correct side for the castle anyway. Service was slow - in fact we are still waiting on the still water we ordered!! The food is lovely although this also came with its issue - my husband ordered the jungle curry but with lamb not prawns…it arrived with prawns! When we queried it we were told they couldn’t do lamb - at no point were we told that, we would have accepted another protein but it felt like they couldn’t be bothered to change it. The other massive issue was it was freezing - I watched people get their scarves and put them around their shoulders. Would I rush back? Absolutely not! The one in Glasgow is by far a nicer atmosphere.

The atmosphere was so classy and incredible as suitable to be called a dine in restaurant. Taste was good, especially Tom Yam Soup. A little bit pricey compared to food portions, specifically Jasmine Rice. A staff didn’t ask me how food it was and skipped my table to ask other tables instead (my table was between)

This spot was an absolute 10/10. Our waitress name was Chalisa and even though she was still learning, her service was amazing. After my request to make some dishes less spicy, the food was superb. We chose the Wang sharing set menu and it was more than enough for two people. For someone who can't handle spice like me, I'd recommend the 'Pad Prew Waan Gai' And for dessert we chose the 'Chocolate Bombe', they poured the hot Caramel sauce on top and you could see the chocolate just melt. Will definitely come back!

Mills was great, very good waitress and very welcoming! thank you for making our anniversary special! Great atmosphere! Xx

I was turned away from an empty restaurant, supposedly no space for walk-ins. The staff communicated this information in a discourteous manner, which I found surprising given that we were only seeking accommodation for two adults and one child. Overall, the policy of not accepting walk-ins seems ill-advised.

The food was exquisite. One of the best Thai meals I’ve ever had. The ambience was incredible due to the lights and the DJ who was amazing. The service was superb. Lovely waiters and waitresses and barmen. Such a cool and vibey place as you will see from the start with the steps going up and the decor once you enter. I really, really recommend!!!!

First time visited for brunch It was an Itison deal £36 for a champagne brunch for 2 with hot drinks. We were shown to a lovely table overlooking the castle. The atmosphere was lovely, staff attentive and the quality and taste of the food and drinks were amazing. Enjoyed every minute and would definitely like to return in the future. Thank you

Hugely disappointing Thai Basil Fried Rice with a pork - so spicy it was inedible (other than pieces of pork). If you’re going to do delivery through Deliveroo give the customer a choice of spice level!!

Dined in on 24th December. Staff were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and we had a great view of the castle. A big shout out to the bartender Tana and the waiter taking care of us for being attentive and ensuring our dining experience was to a high standard.

Yum yum food - really delicious. Great service from friendly people. Lip-smacking cocktails. Superb views over Edinburgh and beyond.

We were seated for drinks and nobody came to take our order within 25 minutes. We left, and the servers all thanked us as we left, never realising they didn't even serve us

£58 for deep-fried broccoli, cucumber for starter, then 'Pad Thai' with 1 parwn all greasy and awfu no vel. Worst dining experience. Avoid :-(🤮🤢

I booked this restaurant for a friend’s birthday after receiving a strong recommendation from a family member who had visited this exact location before. I’ve personally been to the Manchester branch, so I was expecting the usual high-quality food and service. Unfortunately, last night was an absolute disaster from start to finish. Our table was booked for 8:15 PM, and we placed our drinks, starter, and mains orders within the first 15 minutes of being seated. The drink service was very slow, I was told they had run out of Pinot Blush wine. I was given the last glass, which was disappointing since it was only option served by glass instead of a bottle. The starters took 40-45 minutes to arrive, which was average at best. On two separate occasions, we were told items from our order were out of stock and were asked to change our order. This was frustrating, as they should have known this when we initially ordered. We begrudgingly made the changes, but after an hour of waiting for our mains, we had enough. By 10 PM, we asked a waiter when our food would be ready since we didn't want to wait any longer. We were told it would be out soon, but we’d have to change our order yet again—this time because they had run out of beef for the Penang dish. They offered a different beef option, but warned it would be tougher and harder to chew. Given that this dish costs over £25, this was unacceptable. We refused to change our order again, which left the birthday girl with nothing to eat. After another 10 minutes of waiting, we decided to tell the waiter we no longer wanted our mains. It just didn’t feel fair for one of us to be left without food. As soon as we said this, they claimed the food was ready, but at that point, we had already been sitting for almost 1 hour 45 minutes. They did take the mains off the bill, but the way the waiter laughed about it and offered us a discount on the rest of the bill was inappropriate and unprofessional. What made the situation worse was the restaurant wasn’t even busy, so there was no reason for these delays. When we asked to speak to the manager, she was dismissive and didn’t want to address our concerns. To top it off, she started speaking in a different language to the staff right in front of us, completely ignoring us, which I found incredibly rude. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, especially for a special occasion like a birthday. Given my positive past experiences with the Manchester branch and the high recommendations for this location, I was shocked at how poorly everything went last night. I won’t be returning, and I can no longer recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Profit NOT the customer is king here. Poor food, but friendly, prompt waiting staff. Nice interiors but very loud acoustics of room; DJ music made the noise uncomfortably loud. Complained about insulting amount of vegetables in curry & padthai but was told "Sorry, but this is how you do padthai..." Charming. Don't recommend if you're over the age of 25 and seek a customer orientated establishment and some 'soul' to your dining experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Thai restaurant offers stunning views and an incredible dining experience. The Chiang Mai curry was particularly unique and bursting with flavor, and all the dishes were made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It’s clear a lot of care goes into the food preparation. Our host was very polite and helpful, which added to the experience. However, we did request to be seated at a more spacious table and, unfortunately, were not accommodated. While this was a bit disappointing, it didn’t overshadow the overall quality of the meal and service. I’d highly recommend this place for the food and views—just wish the seating arrangements were more flexible.

PERFECT!!! Love their hot ginger, honey, lemon and turmeri drink. Padthai was also very recommended

The food is amazing here! Super clean and has a lovely ambience. Ate here twice, definitely some of the best food I ate in Edinburgh. Allana was super helpful and informative.

Very poor experience last night. Restaurant was very busy and seemed to be plenty of staff but service was dreadful. Took 20minutes to even be asked for a drinks order, starters arrived after 1½hrs, mains came almost an hour later and by the time we finished desserts it was 3½hrs all in. We had booked the festive menu with prosecco. Were given the wrong menus, was told it didn't include prosecco, was asked to provide proof that prosecco was included. Very embarrassing in front of the group. When they admitted their error, it was too late as folk had already started other drinks and no-one wants to have fizz after red wine. Only had one round of drinks as couldn't get anyone to take an order for more. We were left without cutlery. We had ordered a set menu for the whole group thinking that would be easier but at least 3 dishes on offer were not available. When the food came it was OK although the some items were in thick greasy batter. I did speak to a manager who was very empathetic and reduced our bill. He was lovely and it was clear he wasn't happy that we had had this experience. But unfortunately we won't be back. I had a family birthday booked for end of month but have cancelled because of last night. As we were leaving we heard 3 other tables complain also.

The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere. Most dishes were good, but the Tom yum didn't meet expectations, and some other items were just average. Overall, a pleasant experience

Great experience last night.Me and my son had beautiful meal last night.Our waitres Mills was so kind and she recommended us amazing dishes which we really enjoyed. Definitely back soon

We were served by Oscar who was brilliant and very attentive. The food was good, however for the price I would have expected it to be slightly better.

Food is insane, view is perfect but the waiter informed us that he has the authority to decide on his own tip. This meant that he could chose the exact percentage that he felt worthy. As a customer, I believe that I should be able to make my own choices in this regard. Quite frankly, I find this rule rather bizarre as the waiter can chose any value. Not really happy about that.

The finest in Thai dining, surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views of Edinburgh. From the ambiance, to the service, to the very best of Thai cuisine. World class splendour!

Excellent meal celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday. Everything from booking to commication leading up to our booking was great. On the day staff were attentive and Cameron looked after us. The food was lovey - seafood noodles were the best! Cameron really was great, almost funny as me too lol Thanks - Shahid

The food was amazing they only forgot about 1 drink but Hamish was very pleasent and accomodated our needs

Absolutely stunning food, incredible views of the castle and the friendliest service. Will return time and time again!

Absolutely love this place. The flight there is totally worth their food and service. I've recommended this place to many of my friends and family.

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. We were a group of 4 - two couples - and visited on Saturday night. I had booked well in advance and had both text and email confirmations of my booking which was effective. I have been to the Glasgow restaurant and so expected the food to be excellent and it was - the whole restaurant is lovely and it’s fairly big so a bit more space at each table that some other Thai restaurants in town - like say Dusit - where the food is great but all tables a bit cramped. We arrived early and had a seat by the bar where the bar staff took an order and brought drinks across - and added to the Table Bill - very slick. We had the set menu - Chaophraya- and it was fantastic - the states were amazing especially the pancakes and spring rolls. The three main dishes were really good choice - Chicken was spectacular, Duck brilliant and the Lamb curry was good. We don’t usually take dessert but it was included in the set meal - and it was brilliant too On the Saturday the restaurant was very busy and the first course was a bit slow to come out - but they told us the kitchen was busy and it was fine. We had the table booked until 9pm - per the booking - but they never rushed us at all and we left about 9.30pm. Service was good - and the waiters explained the dishes but didn’t linger - we liked that. Excellent location in centre of the city , excellent food and good service.

Really nice atmosphere and very friendly staff! The restaurant was lively, but servers were attentive and considerate and still provided efficient service to us throughout our meal. Some of the meals are a little on the pricier side but the food itself was really good quality. There is a really good selection of non-alcoholic cocktails which were really tasty. Our server was lovely and provided really great service to us. I believe our servers name was Immy (or Immaculate) but I have attached the card given in the photos- she was kind and attentive and gave us timely and helpful service. Had a really great experience here and would definitely recommend.

Really bad quality food. Really overpriced. We feel robbed. Overall quality was the same as any cheap Thai, Asian, Chinese in any corner, nothing special but for the price of high end cuisine. We waited a lot also for our food.

What a restaurant. Great food and also great service from the staff, who were very knowledgeable. Will deffo visit again when I'm next in Edinburgh 👍

Everything was perfect. I think it’s a best Thai restaurant in UK.

Came to this thai restaurant with my family the restaurant is fantastic great vibe and atmosphere the welcome from the staff was warm and charming we sat down and order when got the food it was out of this world amazing I had a stir fry wow unbelievable my wife had the same my daughters had curry and they said the same service excellent it was my 60th birthday and they bought out a very nice dessert on the house must go to this thai if in edinburgh

It's just such a goooood vibe here with delicate decorations and fancy meals.

The food and service were outstanding. Best Thai in town. My only critique is that the music was a bit too loud for my taste. If you prefer a quieter dining experience, I’d recommend requesting a table away from the bar area.

I can't tolerate spicy food so this was my first visit to a Thai restaurant. The waiter advised me to have Pad Cha I think it was called. Delicious. My partner had something very spicy which she enjoyed very much. Coconut creme brulee for sweet which was so nice I nearly had two. Coupled with the views a décor definitely a place to visit. Also you can see into the kitchen and I think that's very important

We had a fancy and delicious lunch date. Everything was tasty and the view was stunning.

The food was alright. The masaman tasted of nothing. The food was really slow to come out and the service of the staff was pretty poor. No water refills etc. Had to constantly ask for updates. I don't know why it so highly rated. Just go to another Thai ran by some thai locals. For the price it's not good.

The dishes are basically all fusion now not fully thai. The taste was average but not superior to other places e.g. ting thai caravan. Duck was tough, chicken was dry, lamb was too gamey. Sauces were all very nice. Was charged for water which i wasnt impressed by. The kitchen was understaffed and the servers got a lot wrong. Management were very understanding when issues brought to them, so props for that. Would not recommend. Other far better fine dining places

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly team. However, so pricy.

This place is a true gem, right in the heart of Edinburgh. Beautiful rooftop views, fantastic accommodating and attentive staff, impressive selection of lovely Thai classics as well as innovative dishes. Best mango sticky rice I’ve ever had. I’d give it a sixth star if I could.

This place 😍 some of the best Thai I’ve had. We got the corn fritters and crispy pork belly for starters and I had the green curry for mains. It was all incredible! One side of rice is enough for two people. Vibes are great. There’s a DJ there playing good tunes at a good sound level and the service is good.

My wife and I are big fans of Thai cuisine and make it a point to try it in every country we visit, including Thailand itself. So, when we stepped into this upmarket Thai restaurant, we had high hopes. The place looked quite classy – they even placed napkins on our laps – and the staff were friendly and efficient. The meals arrived quickly, which we appreciated. We ordered Thai green curry, beef chili basil stir fry, and some rice, along with two Coke Zeros, for a total of fifty pounds. Unfortunately, the food fell flat. The green curry was watery, and the chicken was so overcooked we had to send it back. The replacement wasn’t much better. The stir fry was overwhelmingly salty, with little more than soy sauce to carry the flavor. Considering how fast the food came out, it was surprising how overcooked the meat was. While the setting was lovely, the food has to come first, and sadly, this was one of the worst Thai meals we’ve had. A flashy restaurant is nice, but it doesn’t make up for a meal that leaves you wishing you’d stayed in and cooked yourself.

Worst ever experience booking this restaurant. We called on 14th October around 8 in the evening for a booking for a table for 15 people for 22nd October, which is a Tuesday, not even a weekend. The staff was unhelpful, and after waiting 8 minutes on the phone, they said the manager had just left and would call us at 9:30 tomorrow morning. No one called back. The next morning I called them and asked for any update at 10 am; they replied, "Sorry, the manager is busy. We'll call you." Around 11:15, manager Daniel called and said if we want to book a table for Castle View, the minimum spend is £3,500. It’s a Tuesday, not even the weekend. How difficult is to book this restaurant for dinner and it’s so expensive as well,

Our first night in Edinburgh and the food and service was great. It was me and the Mrs 3rd year anniversary so were greeted with some free Prosecco. All the staff were lovely and couldn’t moan!

Lovely Thai restaurant with a cool atmosphere and vibe. We had the Wang set menu for 2 everything was delicious and we had to have some of it boxed up it was so generously portioned. Cocktails were great too. The only very minor complaint would be that they didn't put nearly enough sugar on the crème brûlée, I like a good layer to break through with my spoon, and it didn't snap (it was still delicious though!). The service was great, very attentive. Overall a great experience, would definitely go back.

Food was average at best. We had a range of dishes, sauces for which were mostly nice (the sweet glaze duck sauce was pure sugar). However, the food itself (particularly the beef and tofu) was dry and overdone, as if it had been left under a heat lamp for a long period. The wine was majorly overpriced. £40 for a bottle of Sauvignon blanc which tasted almost off, it was that bad. Service was very slow (we were there almost 90 minutes before our starters arrived) and you had to flag down a waiter to ask about this or to get a drink. Our waiter was friendly enough but also borderline rude at times, clearly not very interested in being there. The atmosphere was nice, apart from the “dj” who, unless you looked over to the corner he was standing in, you wouldn’t have realised was there. Volume was less than even background music and the song selection was poor. A Spotify playlist would have been a better option.

This place is great. The food was first class. Staff are absolutely amazing, all very nice, helpful, and want to make the experience as nice as possible. We went for a birthday and the restaurant brought us a small cake and candle when the desert was ready. The food was unreal, and the drink menu was extensive. Great atmosphere, and if you can get a view of the Castle, it's great. It's definitely worth a visit.

Great place to eat with stunning views. A bit expensive for what you get, but good food. Two menus for 4 and some small snacks are enough. Thanks for the good service Elmo!

Attended Chaophraya for a wedding reception dinner and several of us went for the 'Wang' set menu at £55/person. The three course meal was full of exceptional food and the wait staff were incredibly attentive, helpful, and adding a very positive atmosphere to the night.

Lovely spot with great food, some of those chillies were hot! The cocktails hit the spot as well, a proper treat dinner.

Very overrated, inside decour and view I believe this is what your paying for, far from authentic pad Thai and very basic dishes with not much flavour, waitied 20 minutes before got served a drink and 40/50 waiting for food! Optional service charge was on the bill which I refused to pay and the staff dint seem happy about it which I thought was rude

Been many years since we visited, I have to say it's only improved - great service from Thomas, messed up on our order and the entire team fixed it in two minutes - quality of the food was excellent

The restaurant is impressive from the very entrance, great views from the terraces, delicious food, very good service

Beautiful food, excellent service, staff went above and beyond, Cameron was very entertaining - a rare find anywhere in the world. We went with friends and had a great time and enjoyed a number of cocktails with our meals which were well balanced and all too easy to drink!
