Chaophraya Restaurant and Palm Sugar in Glasgow City

We celebrated the birthday of my daughter. The staff here it's very polite and helpful. Thank you

Beautiful restaurant, with lots of elegant and beautiful decoration. The wait for the food was acceptable and it was quite good. Respectful of spicy/non-spicy indications. When you pay they give you some chocolate bars with liqueur (keep in mind children).

Service was excellent 👌 food was very good

Dine here many times years ago, decided to revisit and noticed there’s little to no change to the deco and ambience of Chao phraya! Still beautiful and grand as ever. However, I have noticed there’s a change in their food taste and flavour. The green curry was a let down with unpleasant spices used instead of the authentic Thai gaeng keow wan recipe. Khua Kling was good but lack of spiciness and saltiness. Som tum was also mild and lack impact. Deep fried aubergine was close to perfection but wish there was more basil and sauce to it. Since the Fish cakes (Hor Mok pla) wasn’t available they recommended Salt and pepper squid which was pleasant and fresh. I won’t recommend this place if you are expecting authentic Thai food but mainly for its decoration and location. If they have options to adjust the spiciness and authenticity of the food quality I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Really fantastic Thai food in an old historic Glasgow building in the town centre. Can't fault any of the dishes we had.

Very very tasty food, opulent building, freindly staff and service.

stunning restaurant with lovely chandeliers and a warm ambience. Food is super and really filling (so worth the price !) and would definitely come again !! I had the vegetable spring rolls, beef-brisket curry and the banana fritters.

Excellent meal in very impressive surroundings 😋 Service could be improved, however... Luckily, I had checked out the menus in advance and was aware of the lunch menu. We were only given the a la carte menu when we sat down, and I had to ask specifically for the lunch menu 😕 Service on the whole was quite slow, but it didn't bother our particular group, as we were in for a good catch-up 😁

The first time in Glasgow and my family take me to celebrate my birthday at this Thai Restaurant, we can say that their foods similar to real Thai food and good taste.

Great Food, small portions, many varieties of tastes - sweet, sour, spicy. Brilliant atmosphere. Will visit again.

Top of the bucket list Absolutely superb Full of flavour Really fast service Very much worth a visit

A real 10/10, highly recommend. Singha was lovely

One of the worst restaurants. We went in at 2 and could come out only by 3.30. Very very very slow service. To top it all they add a service charge and don't mention it when being paid that it is optional. You miss it on the bill and that's it. No smiles - maybe because of us being Asian. We had such a nice experience at Chaophraya Birmingham. However this one totally sucks.

Great service and atmosphere. Perhaps a little pricey

The building its self is beautiful, very well designed and has different dining rooms. The service was attentive and friendly, everyone was so helpful and welcoming. This created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was incredible, loved the sharing plates and the mains. The puddings were my highlight as I have a very sweet tooth and they were great for sharing too. Highly recommend for birthdays and also there is the space for very large groups. My new favourite restaurant in Glasgow!

Delicious Thai food. Our dishes were seafood and vegetarian I don't know if the rest of their meat is halal We ordered vegetarian noodles with vegetables and shrimp There are vegetarian appetizers for sharing, and there are many dishes and options on the menu And Sticky Rice with mango is delicious 🥭🥭🥭❤️

Beautiful venue in a great central location. The food looked beautiful, but for me, it lacked the vibrancy I look forward to in Thai cuisine.

I have aten here several times before, however yesterday's visit was a disappointment. Very expensive, a shared starter for 2 + a bottle of water was £31.00. My Pad Thai meal included tofu which was overcooked hard and rubbery and the veg and sauce was dry. The other meal, was apparently ok. The meal included a pint and a half of beer. The total paid was just under £90 but they add a service charge on top which we decided not to pay, under the circumstances. Beautiful building inside but the food and water was extortionate for the quantity and quality that was received, on this occasion. I would've preferred to pass on my comments but they didn't ask and I was too tired to make an issue of it.

It's not often that I have nothing negative to say about a restaurant experience. Absolutely everything about Chaophraya was spot on.

Wish i could give less than one star. Booked a graduation dinner here and it was ruined as we found a WORM in the starter platter. Disgusting, wont be coming again and highly doubt not recommend anyone to go here if you care about hygiene.

Wonderful restaurant, one of my favourites for trying new food.

Nice place, good food and perfect service!!!

Delvin was our waiter and he was the best. Such a lovely service. Very polite guy. Made the best conversation and loved seeing someone smiling and being sweet.

Return trip here and enjoyed the food and service just as much as before. Good central location too.

Fantastic food & lovely atmosphere. Servers were attentive & friendly.

First time in the Glasgow one. Been to Edinburgh, food is amazing. Building is stunning. Service was great and people are lovely. Definitely going back

A great example of what happens to a restaurant when investment stops. Understaffed, tired furniture, worn out carpets. Bar in a terrible state with no draught products. A mess. Such a shame as was once great

As a Thai, this is definitely NOT the place to visit if you want to have authentic food. The only impressive thing was the ambience. Sad.

Excellent food and service. Definitely be back

Quite disappointed. Had booked a table for me and my wife as part of a wee day out. We arrived at 12.40 and had a theatre show at 2:30. When we arrived we were the onle people there with thd exception if 1 table who were already eating. Come 13:30 we were surrounded by a pretty busy restaurant about 16 full tables with about 12 eating. One table had actually come been served / ate and left all before our food came. We mentioned this and asked for our starters and mains to come together. Once served our food now about 13:45 We then rushed our food and paid the bill. Food was OK but expensive. Meal for 2 I.e 2 starters 2 mains 2 soft drinks 1 beer came to £100.00, I've ate better thai food and generally pay 60-70. Other establishments like bar soba or wagamamma are cheaper, faster and the food is better. Don't think we will return.

Thai tapas lunchtime menu with chicken satay, tacos & salt & chilli tasted amazing. The food presentation, the decor and the open kitchen add to the atmosphere of this terrific restaurant. This place is a must visit for a memorable dining experience.

Atmosphere was, as usual, pretty good. Food was decent, though perhaps not as tasty as previous visits. However, what was really poor was the length of time we waited for starters and mains. The bill had 12.5% service already added to it, and when I mentioned how slow service was, the waitress said "Yes, a lot of tables have complained about that tonight". She didn't get the irony in adding 12.5% when service was a really very poor! In the end, we deducted some of the service charge.

Have been here a few times but the evening we went in February was a disaster in brief very slow to take/deliver order in busy restaurant. Main course cold when it eventually arrived not enough staff on because of a private function upstairs. Only paid for the bottle of wine, we refused to have mains reheated just returned it and left. Always loved this place but probably will not be back we travelled from NI on a short break looking forward to eating here again....very disappointed.

Absolutely stunning place, great foods and welcoming staff. Also vegan friendly.

Perfection. One of the best Thai meals I've had in a long time. Excellent vegan options.

Great food very reasonable price. Excellent service.

Lovely food, tasty and presented well. Nice calm atmosphere and good service.

My first time here after hearing so much about it. Out with friends after work and dined on the early evening menu. Chicken satay to start was a large fulfilling portion followed by spicy beef salad. The salad had a warmth and slight kick to it, but simply delicious. Cannot wait to return again!

Fantastic food and service was spot on.beer and wine selection was great. So much to pick from.

Absolutely outstanding dishes 👏 and service second to none , beautiful building interior that makes the dinner event extra special

I went here last minute on a weekend trip to Glasgow. Safe to say I was impressed! The service was great and I was met with the usual Glaswegian kindness. The food however… was mind blowing. I ordered the seafood stir fry and the squid was delicious! Melted in my mouth. The decor was lovely and I would come back in a heart beat.

Overpriced, very small portions, weird vibe. It felt like all the staff hate each other. Edinburgh is way better.

Very slow service even though it was not busy. The food was just ok. This restaurant is not as good as it was. The Edinburgh one is far better.

Vegan afternoon tea was beautiful great service

Nice food but served on cold plates Beautiful building but decor, furniture and carpets very tired now. Men’s toilets - absolutely disgusting (which we did tell them about before leaving) Shame they have lost their way …..

Exquisite place for Thai food Going back to Glasgow just to eat here again, especially on the private dining terrace for 2

Really nice Thai food and lovely atmosphere. We enjoy coming here for family celebrations. Green curry, papaya salad and tom yam soup are my favourites.

Beautiful building and food. Good service though beware they add 12.5% for a tip without asking you or pointing it out. Sneeky. They can only be one reason to do that, you'd be a fool not to know it only benefits one party.

we were pointed to the bar area, had to ask the staff to clean the table as it was very wet, waited almost 10 mins before i had eventually go to the bar and ask for a drink , also given the wrong wine , when we got upstairs the young girl had us walk the wrong way to our table, we sat for almost 25 mins before our starters arrived , we where also very warm as we got sat next to a very large hot radiator, our main food was also very bland this time too sorry to say but overall very disappointing

Cant say enough about chaophraya foods amazing 10/10

First time in here for lunch today, food and service was superb will definitely be back

All round just ans excellent experience

I really enjoyed a fantastic meal here with excellent food of high quality. We ordered the set menu which was £43 per person. We got a very good mixture of starters, three main meals and rice, followed by a chocolate mousse for dessert. The food was very very tasty. The building and restaurant area were exquisitely decorated all Thai themed.

Good food and decent portions, but very expensive for what it is. Service was atrocious. Arrived at 2010. Order taken at 2020- ordered the set menu . At about 2050 I asked where the starters were, and was told as it was Saturday night it was busy and there was a back up (unsure why this is an issue, it's not as if it is unexpected). Starters arrived at 2110 after reminding them. Mains arrived at 2140 and we finished pretty quickly. Our food was cleared away pretty quickly, and restaurant started to die down. We were left until 2235 until I had to remind someone that we had ordered the set menu and questioning where the dessert was. The dessert came shortly after, but the waiters didn't seem aware we had ordered the set menu, and we had essentially been forgotten about, sitting idley. Poor service all over for such an expensive "fine dining" restaurant.

We stumbled upon Chaophraya while exploring Glasgow. It stands out as a gastronomic gem, offering the tastiest and most flavourful dishes we've ever had. The authentic decor and vibes added an extra layer of enjoyment, creating an immersive experience that transported us to the heart of Asia. The genuine atmosphere complemented the outstanding culinary offerings. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an unparalleled Asian dining experience that combines exceptional flavours with authentic ambiance.

Fantastic food and amazing staff.

Me and my fiancé come here often and all the staff are amazing Shah and Mia , both extremely attentive, sweet and kind. They always look after us. We will be back!

Love everything about the place. It's a bit pricey compared to a year ago but the food is really good.

Definitely the best Thai food place in town.....and amazing cocktails

Friendly staff but food was not as expected and very expensive

A cold meal had to be replaced, not as tasty as the colder version. I hate having to send food back as this place ain't cheap.

Lovely food, service and atmosphere - one of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow!

I have been here many times, always dining on the main/ala carte menu. As well as this I have bought numerous vouchers for family as gifts over the last year. This time we went for the Thai afternoon tea as a treat after Christmas. Whilst the food tasted good, the amount of food on the afternoon tea was extremely terrible value for money! At £70 (£35 per person) you really need to re-think that menu, or bring the cost right down. Extortionate amount of money for an amount of food I would say, for 1 person, at most! We left there hungry and I was really annoyed at paying £70 for what felt like a shared Starter. Doubtful we'll be spending any more money at this restaurant.

First every Thai meal. Excellent.

The food was ok, everything tasted the same. I had green curry without any thaï veg, we also ordered Pad thaï and chicken satay. I had better Thaï food than this. It’s not worth the money they charge. Sorry but I will not come back.

Food was amazing! Linda, our server was exceptional. The place has a great athmosphere—makes you want to stay for long. We had a delightful lunch.

The entrance and interior decor of the restaurant are quite splendid, creating a fantastic ambiance. Booking a table in advance over the phone is very convenient. The flavor of the dishes is comparable to Ting Thai in the West End, but the prices are 2-3 times higher. This Thai restaurant in Glasgow is the only one offering Mongo Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk and Pineapple Rice, adding a unique touch. Lamb curry was average, and the portion sizes are rather small. A service charge of 12.5% is applied, which falls in the mid-range. The staff is reasonably friendly.

the place was gorgeous but the food really didn't taste of much - which if you're having thai food, is a shame. I got the papaya salad & I adore a papaya salad - this was expensive and did nothing really. the pad thai and fried rice was the same. I'm told the soups were good - I'm vegetarian so can't testify but the soup comes recommended!

We went here for our Thai cooking experience

Went there for a private dining experience which was absolutely a pleasure. The staff were really friendly and met the needs of all requirements. The food was slightly bland and was too sweet for my liking however everything else was top notch. The duck tamarind is probably the best thing on the menu!

Great food. Lovely interiors. Friendly staff

Lovely Thai lunch and venue for Xmas work outing!

Lovely setting located near Nelson Mandela place. Long time waiting to be checked in. One of our group had made their way upstairs after a bit of a wait only to be told to go back down stairs. Drinks order was incomplete. Food was good. Had fishcakes, and seafood curry. Banana fritter was under par, lacking taste. Banana was like mush, and unsure what it had been cooked beside but I would suggest cross contamination. Others in the party had a vegetarian option, which there are plenty of. Overall felt service let the place down, bit rushed. Understandably restaurant was busy which is a good sign but understaffed.

Had the lunch menu, very good hard to fault food or service. The only issue i had is them adding 12.5% discretionary tip. This is all too common now since covid.

This was my first time here. The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, all the staff were nice. Will be visiting again. We went for the 3 coarse lunch menu. With a couple of add on's prawn crackers and 2 egg fried rice to accompany our main dishes and 2 large wines we paid £84 for 2 people.

I absolutely love this place the service the people the food is absolutely exquisite can't fault it atall I'm off there again tonight never been turned down for a table bar is right door which is a win win all round 👍

Fantastic food! Facility was phenomenal! Highly recommend

Food was ok. Very expensive for what it was and service charge a joke. It was nice but won't be back.

Got vouchers for Christmas last year and finally went. Good selection of food and reasonable prices. We got the sharing platter as a starter and it was delicious. Got the specials for our mains a bit disappointed that you had to order rice or noodles separately

Absolutely gorgeous place to eat. Staff are excellent. Food was delicious with fabulous vegan ootion. Loved it.

Food was great, took a wee while but it was a busy Saturday so to be expected. Service was very hands off.

one of the most delicious places for thai food

My daughters birthday meal here. Service was very slow. Food came before any drinks came. Had to ask for water for table a few times. I had the beef rib which was almost impossible to take off the bone to eat. A bit disappointing

Good food and nice surroundings with high prices.

Visited a few years back and it was fantastic. Returned to Glasgow for a graduation ceremony so decided to celebrate here with a table of five. Terrible service, cheap chewy steak, stuck on a table hidden away next to a dusty fireplace at the service entrance. Waiter tried to take my half finished dish whilst I was still eating, the fork was in my hand with food on it! Totally rushed service, I actually feel embarrassed as I recommended this resturant to celebrate. We were in and out in about 40 minutes. Also look out for the sneaky service charge, didn't realise until I'd left!

Sehr leckeres Essen und schönes Ambiente. Einzige Merkwürdigkeit, es gab keine Esstäbchen?! In einem Asiaten. Mein Fazit: Der Weg hierher lohnt sich.

First time here. Rightly priced food. Taste is really good. Service was really bad. No water served even after requesting few times. Wrong food served. Curry poured over, no one seems to be in charge. Staff definitely need training.

Food is all too sweet to my taste. Even the pad thai is too sweet, more lime would be better to cut the sweetness. Design and decor of the restaurant are superb.

The whole experience was great from start to finish. My wife and I ordered six dishes between us and all of them hit the mark. Jungle curry had a good assortment of vegetables and just the right level of spice. If you didn't know any different, you'd be mistaken for thinking that you were in Thailand such was the authenticity of the Chicken Pad Ka Pao. Tom Yam Goong met the approval of my demanding wife and the King Prawn Fried Rice with Pineapple was superb. All washed down with a decent bottle of Rjoca. The service was prompt and helpful. We were even moved to a bigger table to accommodate the amount of food that we ordered. Only disappointment was that we only found Chaophraya on our last day in Glasgow. Oh, and before I forget, the restaurant is in a stunning building with statues, carvings, chandeliers and various other wonders. Bit of a hike up a couple of floors but well worth the effort.

Be aware that the restaurant adds an opt out not opt in for a not wellknown charity in Leeds. I have no problem with charity opt ins ,particularly for good local or national ones.
