Jino's Thai Cafe in Leeds

What has happened?? We used to eat here or get takeaway all the time when we lived closer but haven't been in a few years. Got takeaway a few weeks ago, and it was like they ran out of seasoning in the kitchen. Both dishes were extremely bland. It was so disappointing. I hope it was just a bad night, but we won't be eating here again.What a shame, as their strength used to be consistency 😞

Hot, tasty food. Could not fault it.

Amazing food and service, we went for a girls night out and had the sharing starters, both the fish and the vegetarian ones were fantastic, followed by a selection of Prawn Pad Thai and Pla Shu Shi with rice and a side of broccoli, all really good followed by the apple gyoza . Such friendly servers, we will be back soon.

Tasty, affordable food & fast service. Our waitress was pleasant too.

It was very taste although there was not as much pineapple or nuts in my main as i was expecting and would have liked more sauce and less whoel chilli

I came here for my birthday and had a table of 20. The service and food were excellent and they were very accommodating for our large group. Would highly recommend!

great quality, best Thai in the area

Good starters. Main was very disappointing. Nice staff

Thai people in the kitchen so you know its good. A bit expensive but the portion size is good (please don’t change it). Very friendly service!

We will visit here again. Nice movie posters on the wall. Food is good.

Amazing lunch at fantastic prices. Best Thai in Leeds!

A truly faultless experience... We'll definitely go again ....

We order from here when we fancy a treat. The food is always on time and hot when it arrives Really tasty and fresh. The gyozo starters are possibly my favourite thing ever!

Great place for Food Very caring service Fair pricing Set Menu around £20 with generous food portions. We have been a few times and enjoyed scrumptious invidual choices for tea and supper ddlivered Takeaways👍👍👍

Excellent food, very tasty and great value deal during the afternoon!

Lovely Thai food. Excellent value, especially the lunchtime 3 courses for £13.95.

I order quite regularly, I don’t know if it’s because it’s a Saturday night and you’re busier but my chicken was a bit dry and the dish didn’t taste as good as it usually does.

excellent food. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Tasty food, delivered on time and piping hot

This is the first time I tried this place and I would like to mention that it was absolutely amazing. The food, ambiance and service were brilliant. Pam was the sweetest and gave some really nice recommendations for the food. She made the dinning experience even more memorable and enjoyable, 10/10 💕

Consistently great thai food and a reasonable price

Lovely food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I eat Bao frequently and they was prepared nicely and tasted nice too. Thank you

10/10 what can I say 🤯 it was fabulous

Love Jino's! The servers are all so lovely, the atmosphere is super cute, and the food is outstanding. I got the lunch special for £13.95 and the sweetcorn patties are amazing while the pork pad Thai was just perfect. Only disappointed that I didn't have room for dessert!

🤤💯🙌🤤❤️ I'm never disappointed will always recommend jino to anyone 💓

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😍🤤🤤😏😏😍🤤🤤 💯🙌💯🙌🙌 fantastic I wanted more ten out of ten

Eaten here a few times now, and the food just gets better and better! Love trying new dishes on the menu, never disappointed by anything. Everything is so delicious and tastes so authentic. The staff here are as equally outstanding. So friendly and attentive. One of my favourite restaurants to bring my friends to when they’re visiting Leeds!

Absolutely delicious food, great friendly service. Busy Saturday night would recommend booking. Best Thai food I've had in ages, so glad I came. Love the origami birds and decor. Thanks!

Really great service and great food

The lunch menu is a set of dishes with mixed veg or chicken or beef. No prawn or tofu but the mixed veg was lovely. £14 for the lunch who’s a a small starter and smaller main. £5 to add on a pint of singha. Good atmosphere inside. Classic movie posters in Thai on the wall. They have a pod in the wall for the delivery drivers to go to so they aren’t disturbing the diners which is a good idea. Really enjoyed the food. Would go back.

Really tasty Thai food! Reasonably priced and if you come Tuesday or Wednesday they have curry/noodle offer which is a good deal and amazing quality!

Loved it. Great location. Good food and authentic tastes. Had their lunch menu. Had the beef green curry and pork. Pictures attached.

First visit, super fresh food straight to your table, lovely food.

The sweet fritters tasted like pudding! And I couldn’t see any sweetcorn. The stirfry vegetable was very overcooked and had no flavour. When I phoned the restaurant, they just told me to make a complaint.

Food was great. Red curry a bit on the spicy side. Delivery was on time but deliver driver didn’t come to the door.

I've been a loyal customer of Jino's, placing an average of one online order per week for the past four years. With over 200 orders, I've only had to complain four times, typically about issues like very spicy food or receiving the wrong item. I understand that mistakes happen, especially in a busy restaurant. However, what I cannot tolerate is the aggressive behavior from your manager, who sent me threatening messages from his personal mobile number and falsely accused me of making unreasonable demands. I suggest you review the call recordings and reflect on this inappropriate conduct. I will no longer be ordering from Jino's due to this disrespectful treatment. For reference, you can see my positive reviews with other companies over the past few years. Paul cannot tolerate any negative feedback, and his claims that I didn't receive something are completely false. He will likely delete other review replies, just as he keeps amending his replies below to my review with different false claims, so I screen grabbed one as an example, I called regarding not receiving a mango juice? I never even ordered a mango juice, it’s not even on my items ordered. If you read his responses to other customers (sort by lowest), you'll see that he acts like a bully towards innocent people. Paul, if you were bullied as a child, I'm truly sorry. However, I suggest you seek help, as your current behavior is far from mature and not an excuse. I hope you reflect on your behavior and how you treat people, this is not how you run a business. Other readers are welcome to read all my other positive 10/10 reviews for companies that deserve them, I never complain, Paul just cannot handle any negative feedback and if he does he decides to act like a child in a toy shop not getting his way!

A main dish sweet and sour with rice was missing and now the restaurant isn’t answering

The delivery driver was friendly. Thank you 👍

INCREDIBLE service. Definitley the best service I have ever had. Great atmosphere and the panaeng curry is delicious👌

Very bad food and bad staff do not go there

Yet again absolutely superb food. Thank you

The food was really good, super tasty but it was tainted a bit by missing an item from our mains, so my girlfriend didn’t get what she had ordered and was left hungry. When I phoned up they said they could make it for us to collect but weren’t able to deliver it for us which defeats the point a little as neither of us have a car and can’t go to collect. Bit disappointing but I believe the items have been refunded, a shame really cos the food was really good as mentioned.

Me and my friend both got food poisoning:(

Consistently excellent, will be ordering again Friday when I’m at my friends in Weetwood. Can’t wait

Great restaurant, delicious food ( highly recommend the thai green curry) super friendly staff, will definitely be back! 😍

Pad Thai was a tasteless gelatinous gloup. Very disappointing

Great food nice atmosphere, busy great service

Yet again stunning food. Consistently excellent quality and taste. Also fantastic friendly delivery driver

Last minute decision to pop in here and I was not disappointed! The food, service and staff is perfect!

This is the best Thai food in Leeds, absolutely delicious. Thank you

Food was absolutely disgusting, staff were so rude especially the guy handling the food - Worst place ever 🤝

This is a great Thai restaurant. The food is spot on and the service is very good. I would highly recommend it.

Really tasty food delivered quickly and within the estimated arrival time.

Hello, I ordered tofu pad Thai but there is no tofu included. Only vegetables

As someone who does food delivery, I would advise everyone not to eat here. Dine at your own risk. You should never eat from nasty people.

Lovely food, busy restaurant but staff were very attentive.

Food was delicious and delivered on time

A worthy rival to Zapp. Very good Thai food (the starters were a bit bland but the mains were phenomenal), lovely staff and BYOB. What more could you want?

Roodest managements in catering 🙄 Don't deserve to be in Headingley.

disappointing for Jinos. Chewy, tasteless black bean beef and soggy spring rolls. Not the usual Jinos quality

Great main, average starter, decent service, but there is no indication of the BYOB fee before arriving (£17.50 minimum spend and 10% service fee for 6+ people) and so I can only recommend that the restaurant makes this more public.

The pork belly curry is quite easily the best thing I have ever eaten.

Disappointing. We never managed to book. Online seems to be a long process and taking our card details even for a table for 2. Over the phone was rude. We used to go to jino's all the time and really enjoyed the food but as we can see from other reviews the food is not so reliable, and due to the bad booking experience, we would rather try a new Thai. What a shame. I ve worked in hospitality for many years and I really think a good positive service is not hard to deliver. FURTHER EDIT: It is clear that whoever answers the phone and writes answers to reviews still doesn't know how to speak to people in general or potential customers. My review was factual, not personal. I did try to book several times on-line. The details are taken, then the page says booking complete and then a new page opens asking for card details which I clearly missed, but the process is very long and more complicated that I have seen on any other booking. I raised my voice on the phone, when you said abruptly on the phone: 'you have not got a booking, good bye!!!!' I was not rude at any point. I pointed out that you could actually try to help rather than telling me you were going to put the phone down on me. But once again, it seems other customers have had similar bad experiences so, this incident is not unique. I do expect more abuse from you for writing a reply. Perhaps thinking about what you might be doing wrong might be more helpful?

I order from Jino's regularly, and always enjoy!

Disappointing. No dips with vegetarian starter and we were sent two red curries instead of one red and one massamon. Compared to my last meal from Jinos this is poor.

Dinner was really lovely, very tasty, and the service impeccable. Everyone was super nice to us! You can bring your own wine which made the experience even better!!!

Will not order from here again, paid for prawn crackers and they didn’t put them in my bag when I went to pick up my food! Had the nerve to ask me to go back to the restaurant to pick them up no refund offered

Just excellent Thai food. We shared a mixed veggie starter and then had a variety of curries from the Curry Tuesday menu. My red curry was the best I've ever tasted, and packed full of ingredients. One of my party, who lives in another city, explained that they never eat Thai there because nothing can match the excellence of Jino's. What more can be said?

This was my first order from them. The food was excellent and I will be buying from them again.

It was way too expensive for wha ti ordered with way too much add on charges for meI

Brilliant food as always and fast delivery time.

My new favourite place, absolutely gorgeous food!!!

Lovely food delivery driver very pleasant. A little more expensive than I usually pay from my normal Thai takeaway but don't mind if its good quality. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Excellent. Love going here whe I visit my son from cleethorpes x

Arguably the best Thai food in Leeds! Highly recommend

Food was nice and hot, can't fault the tai green curry( bit spicier in future? ) First class ,can recommend to anyone,will Def be ordering again👍

Lovely staff and the atmosphere of the places is great, really nice decorations make the place feel cozy

reserved the table for 2 hrs but were unceremoniously kicked out after 1 hr 50mins. Spoilt the evening. Good fun tho

Great venue, great value and superb service. Highly recommended, especially with a BYOB policy

Food was fresh and full of flavors would definitely recommend 😋

The standard of cooking has been highly variable in the past few months. One time It will be rich and flavourful, 2 days later it will be tasteless. Assuming different chefs, but who knows. I'm really disappointed as this was one of the better Thais in Leeds. Love the restaurant, but I wouldn't want to bring anyone here right now because the flavour is unpredictable.

A lively cafe, with friendly staff. However, the food was quite average and not authentic at all. Pad Thai tasted more like noodles with sweet Chili sauce. BYOB with £15 minimum spend.

Great Thai restaurant in the centre of headingley, good selection of dishes, all very tasty and reasonably priced. Fast friendly service, and a bonus you can bring your own alcohol at no extra charge as long as you spend over £15 a head. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious, will definitely be going again!

nice atmosphere, bring your own booze so was great value for two of us, despite it being quiet (late tuesday eve) atmosphere was nice

Excellent service & amazing food

We have eaten and ordered many times but this is the first time the texture of the king prawns were half mushy and not enjoyable to eat in both dishes. Delivery:- please ensure that all delivery drivers do not just rely on google maps for our address. For some reason it always takes them to the back of the house which is a different street name. Please ask them to look at the road names as they are getting closer then they can make sure they are on the correct street.

Food arrived quickly and was very tasty.

Best Thai within 20 miles, we travel from Ilkley for it!

Starters were very good Mains were very disappointing. Overcooked and soggy and not very flavoursome.

You can get here good Thai menues! I can Renommee it.

Stunning. Love eating in at jinos but delivery still as fresh and good!

Excellent Sunday Lunch, best Thai restaurant we've been to!

Great place - love the decor ! Had a vegan menu which I appreciated- tofu perfectly cooked. Vegan massamam was lovely. Only thing they could improve on would be to add the option for vegan chicken / prawn😮!

They charge me too much for prawns but they ve put just 3 4 mini prawn in food rest of it was vegetables that’s not fair for this price

Fabulous Thai food. The best I have tasted - so fresh, wonderful flavours. Not oily or heavy. Vegetarian skewers as starters in an amazing tempura batter. Thai green curry excellent, served with rice, tip both out onto your tray and enjoy! Can bring own alcohol as well.

Friendly staff, fast service and delicious food!

Excellent food and a nice vibe allowed us to have a good time here. The bill for 3 people came upwards of £90 but I guess once in a while, it's alright :-)

got the thai green curry and it was absolutely delicious! the rice was perfect too. came super hot and tasted amazing, perfect amount of spice, really fresh!
