I love Pad Thai and had been to several Thai Restos etc etc! and this is the BEST Pad Thai ever! EVER! and it's in a Market no frills just great food and great service! I had to order a take away even before I finished eating! Staff are super friendly especially the tall lady with glasses who looked after my backpack while I was ordering and I didn't even ask! if you're in Leeds forget fancy Thai restos if you want genuine and tasty Pad Thai this is the place!

Fantastic little spot in Leeds market! Food is beautiful. Authentic Thai food served in Leeds market. Been here twice now and got new dishes each time! Everything I have eaten here has been fabulous! Very reasonable prices and the service is very special too!

Excellent home made food, delicious soups very authentic and properly cooked. It looks like there's an ingredients shop next to the restaurant and the seating area is now expanded. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We ate a late lunch which was delicious and took home a take away.

What a find this little takeaway stroke diner is tucked away inside Leeds Kirkgate Market it’s a very busy spot especially at lunchtime there’s also 4/5 tables at the side every dish is cooked to order we had a pad Thai and spicy crispy chicken with boiled rice both dishes lovely well worth a try

Enjoy eating in Leeds Kirkgate Market - this corner spot with tables and chairs for two is perfect. Freshly made prawn Pad Thai was excellent - similar with the spring rolls. Service was good and staff great.

I tried the green and red curries. They are made fresh in front of you and taste incredible. I'll definitely be going here again.

Not the first time it happens, we wanted to get some take away to eat it at home. We order specifically 2 starters and one of the mains asked to take out the cucumber. The woman taking order only was nodding with the head so we supposed everything was fine. Half an hour after we just got home and realised half of our order was wrong. We thought it was a wrong order but when calling we found out that woman didn't even get half of the order right. So we had to pay and eat what we didn't order. Then when you ring the same woman can not attend you as she can't talk the language. Shocking customer service, poor staff.... Imagine how annoying is to get home and see that is not your food!!! If you go there make sure you don't order to an old woman as she literally isn't able to work properly. Just a heads up for anyone who goes there is not the first time that happens to us! Then when you Complain they are not capable to sort it, saying sorry I not the way! Again MAKE SURE YOU ORDER TO SOEMBODY WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH if you going to bother in ordering there.

I ate here often before the lockdown food was always amazing fresh made right in front of you, highly recommended for lovers of Thai food 😋

I first came across Khao Gaeng Thai during a trip to Leeds in January 2019, when I was planning a field trip to Leeds with the Sheffield U3A Geology Group. I only had time to grab a quick snack, Thai Fish Cakes, and finding these to my satisfaction promised to pop in for a more substantial meal when I was next in Leeds - which was a few days later for the same reason. At home, I very often cook Thai curries and so I tried something different, which I enjoyed but can't rember what it was. I visited Leeds several times later in 2019 and, if I had the time, I ate here on many occasions, trying something different each time. Thai food is probably my favourite and, being quite a fussy eater, on the odd occasion I found my meal a touch oily but, overall, I highly recommend eating here - especially because they serve a decent size portion that is very tasty and fills you up. The only negative factor, purely from a recycling point of view, is that when eating at the restaurant, food is served in cardboard cartons rather than on plates; however, on one occasion when the restaurant was very busy and I couldn't wait, I discovered that a Korean restaurant in the food court at the back of the market served its food in this way - but this may be due to the lack of washing up and storage space.

What can I say!! The best prawn pad Thai I've had in UK. It was cooked fresh in front of me and using all fresh ingredients. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Leeds, just a shame it isn't a restaurant as I'd love to visit on a nighttime. Can't wait to try more on the menu.

I thought the larb moo was too salty but kaprao gai was quite nice. not quite like here in saraburi but it's hard to get ingredients quite the same or as fresh so not to worry. price is quite reasonable for england, about the equivalent of 200-300 baht per dish.

Ordered Thai fish cakes to go, they were £3.50 with a bit of salad & chilli sauce, were red hot, authentic & delicious, the quality would easily compare with any restaurant.

£5.95 for the best pad thai chicken I've had outside Thailand. Quick service, friendly staff, and the food, I mean it's class altogether!!! I've been coming here for 2 years and hope to continue coming back for many more.

It just was amazing Super friendly staff and incredible food. Perfect for a quick lunch or to take out.

I eat here probably 2 to 3 times a week on a lunch time. I have never been disappointed. There are always 2 "ready to go" options + the extensive menu if you have time to wait. Its extremely good value, the staff are friendly....and thinking about it....I might well go today. Highly recommend!

Cracking little thai cafe serving thai street food, very consistent and very friendly staff. The Gra Prao chicken is very good and also very spicy. 10 out of 10. Every time.

We ordered online via uber eats, this is the best Thai food we have ever eaten and better than we have had anywhere else in the world. Food is high quality and authentic will defiantly be going again

This is a great little Thai Street food cafe in Leeds markets. Everything is cooked fresh and delicious, I sat on one of the 6 dine in stools and really enjoyed watching the food being cooked. Well worth a visit.

Been here many times for lunch. It serves good tasty Thai food at a reasonable price. Staff are friendly.

There are so many Thai establishments in the UK that you really have to be on top of your game to stand out and while this place in Kirkgate Market is ok, we have had much better. We stopped for a light late lunch and...

Proper good old Thai food just as you'd get in Bangkok. Fantastic value too. The Thai Red curry with chicken is my personal favourite.

Absolutely delicious authentic Thai street food, very reasonably priced. I had a spicy pork dish with rice, can’t remember the name of it but have been dreaming about it ever since! My friend had the pad Thai and said it was the best she has...

Thought we’d try the street food as we’d just come back from South East Asia where we loved all the delicious street food. Ordered the pork dumplings and the chicken satay as we just wanted a snack. The pork dumplings were good though quite small...

I absolutely love the chicken pad thai and the pork dumplings from here. They are reasonably priced and you get a decent sized portion.

Title says it all, definitely making this one of my regular lunch stops! Not too expensive either, about £6 for a filling meal.

This is a great little place to get a tasty lunch in Leeds City Centre. Situated in Kirkgate Market, the staff at this little food stall are super friendly & the food is delicious!

Came here for something small to eat and chose the pork dumplings. Really good flavour, quick service and very cheap!- £2.50 for 4. Would come back and maybe try their main dishes!

most amazing Tom Kha and Tom Yum soups i've ever eaten, rich of flavors and very delicious - would certainly come again

Tasty, authentic food and very reasonably priced. Cooked fresh to order. This place is hidden away from the main food hall in the original market. Well worth a visit!

Nice food like eating In Thailand . Like to come for lunch, cheap and delicious. Returning customer.

My first visits were in September/October and had the taste of real Thai street food excellent!! Came back in December for 10days and visited a further 2times quality food yet again.. The land of smiles is beaming in LEEDS kirkgate market....

Passed through Leeds market and came across this place smell was too tempting to pass up .... Very good GraPrao and plenty of it !! Defo be back

We stumbled across this place on a Sunday lunchtime. The market was mostly closed, but we were glad this place was open. Authentic Thai street food at a great price, served by a lovely Thai couple. We will be back here for sure.

This is my lunch. I have lunch at Khao gaeng Thai near every day now it's good quality and fresh cook meal what can you ask more..

I would recommend Thai red curry prawns with jasmine rice at this place,very authentic creamy curry, I loved it, felt like I was in Thailand! Will definitely go back again with some friends.

Slow and poor service. No understanding of vegan and vegetarian as their was chicken in the tofu meals. Food was lacking sauce and contents. More than one person came and complained when we were waiting for our order. Was told not to have something on...
