Khao San Rd in York

Been to Khaosan Road in York a couple of times previously when we’ve to the theatre but hadn’t been for a few years until last night. We’d loved the food before & it didn’t disappoint after the years. It’s now tapas style - suggestion is to order about 3 dishes per person but we just ordered 2 each plus rice and that was more than enough. Had the Chicken Green Curry, Lamb Massaman, Chicken Satay & Battered King Prawns. All delicious!!

The food was absolutely amazing and generous portions to say it was tapas style. I would return however I might try for a quieter time. We went on a Friday night and the service wasn’t brilliant because it was so busy. When we arrived 15 minutes before our booking we were told to come back later because there wasn’t a spare table or anywhere to stand. After we had finished the meal it took about 20 minutes for the table to be cleared and given the bill. I think they could do with just taking a couple of tables out to make more space but I would return at a quieter time because the food was so good.

Back for Sunday lunch again at this very special place. A beautiful little place with exceptional food! One waitress for the whole place but she had no trouble ensuring the perfect experience for everyone. Such a joy to find this in amongst all the chains and copycat places. The Thai tapas experience just seems so perfect for sampling such wonderful food. We will be back again when I next visit York.

Good menu choice. Staff incredibly helpful explaining what some of the dishes were and checking with the chef if they could be tweaked to our liking of heat. Food really was very, very good indeed and prices very reasonable. highly recommended.

It’s already all been said. Spontaneous visit. Just go and experience it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed I can assure you.

Initial impressions were good as the food is excellent and we had a lovely selection of dishes. Our waitress was also friendly. However we were presented with the bill half way through the meal which was very disconcerting and spoilt the overall experience. We didn’t even bother asking if they do desserts as we felt they wanted us to leave (it wasn’t particularly late ). Also, other people’s conversations can be a little intrusive as it’s a small restaurant and needs more background music. Shame as the food is very enjoyable and it’s an attractive place to sit.

Visited recently with friends at lunchtime. Selected items off lunchtime menu. The food was excellent but the dishes were small. We ordered 2 dishes each but I would suggest three if your hungry. Worth a visit.

Great food, nice atmosphere and the place looks good too, the staff are friendly and attentive. Been a few times and the foods always amazing. Definitely recommend it to people I speak to and also will be returning. One of the best Thai places I’ve ever been to!

Busy but welcoming ,a spontaneous visit, the theme is Tapas style Thai and the food is excellent interesting and a little bit different and quite delicious. I’m not that easily pleased but this was excellent and highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food. Probably the best thai food we have ever had (and we have had a lot, and also been to Thailand). Service was attentive and not rushed.

Sitting having the best tapas meal I have ever had and that includes my trips to Barcelona and Madrid! Highly recommended

Small but busy restaurant. Friendly greeting from the staff on arrival and we ordered 5 dishes and rice between us. Food came quickly and was fresh and delicious. Not cheap but definitely worth the price. Would recommend

좋습니다 가족들이랑 이용하기에 적합해요 다음에도 또 이용할 생각 있습니다 PONY 직원이 친절해요! 감사합니다! 감사합니다 땡큐

Went here on the recommendation of a friend. Have to say, previous review from zenMaster62 is spot on- just about OK. Factor in the price and dried garlic in dressings and on veg dish - not something I’ve seen in the many other Thai places I’ve been to- I’ll try somewhere else next time.

This is a tapas place with such a large choice of dishes that it's a bit overwhelming. They recommend that each person orders three dishes which are about £8 each. We also ordered rice which comes in a fairly small quantity. One of my chicken dishes arrived cold so i had to send it back to be heated up. I'm not sure we will go back as the food was just about okay. We would prefer a more traditional menu with starters and main course rather than tapas

Excelente, essa rua voce encontra bons restaurantes, bares e massagens! É um local mandatório para conhecer quando em Bangkok

방콕하면 바로 생각나는 카오산로드여서 기대 정말 많이 했는데요. 다양한 먹거리들과 다양한 볼 것 들로 기대 이상 느끼고 갑니다

The food here is on par with the food server in Thailand, it was a bit expensive but you get what you pay for. We only had 4 dishes and it was enough for us. The staff were friendly and welcoming, only let down was they don’t sell Prosecco by the glass but that’s just a personal let down that I doubt will effect many others. The flossy beef was insane!

We originally booked to come here over Xmas 2023 but due to my daughter coming down with flu we had to cancel. Finally got here in March and was not disappointed. Superb food, excellent welcoming staff (the ladies were also beautiful) and reasonable price. We had 8-9 dishes (just the right size) our favourite dishes were soft shell crab, crispy belly pork and sea bass. Beautiful food, we would recommend it to anyone who likes Asian cuisine.

Vey welcoming for a late booking, great service and exceptional food. I would recommend a dish but we shared 12 and all of them were good.

Second time visiting this restaurant and what a disappointment! Dishes were cold. Service was poor and food took so long to be served. This could have been due to how busy it was on Valentine’s Day but either way I would save your money and find a better Thai restaurant

Very poor service due to over booking. Waited an hour and a half for food to be served, only to be told one of our items was not available.Had to ask for plates and cutlery. Staff seemed to be confused as to who had ordered what. Many customers were complaining.

Absolutely lovely little place. Staff were amazing and friendly. Food was very tasty and overall price was great value. Nice for a treat :)

A beautiful little restaurant creating a very nice ambience. The menu recommended 3 small dishes per person but we found 2 each was ideal for us. Food is quickly prepared and of a high standard though our meal with a bottle of wine was £75 so not cheap thai food!

Recently came here for the first time with friends. The food was very good. Soooo much choice! Wife doesn’t like too much spice so apprehensive about the menu. But wasn’t a problem. She loved the food. So much flavour. Great service. Will definitely be back.

Thai food was spot on. Even better than the food we tasted in thailand in Chiang Mai! Absolutely would recommend to anyone

Fanatastic prob best Thai have been to. Small and a little on the cramped side for some tables. Poor waitress was worked off her feet the night we were there. The food was outstanding. We had 5 plates plus some sticky rice. Each plate was very different and couldn’t select a favourite as they were all ten out of ten Definitely come back here next time we visit York

Lovely restaurant with beautiful decor. Excellent curries especially the massaman and panang! Sadly the pad Thai let it down, lacking flavour. Service was ok. Would really recommend if you love Thai, tapas style is a real treat!

Amazing restaurant . Beautiful setting and great food. Fantastic staff and chefs that go the extra mile. Can't wait to come back. Thankyou xx

Food was superb a little pricey for the size of the Tapas You need 4 tapas Service not brilliant only x8 of us & restaurant 50% full Restaurant very cold we had to put our coats on , spoilt the evening

Expensive for very small portions. Curries came out first and were cold, rice and noodles followed 10 mins later. Food was tasty but left hungry after spending £100 for 2 x adults and 2 x teenagers.

The food was amazing, We ordered from the lunch menu and we couldn't fault the food it was amazing will defo be back next time we are in York.

We came to this restaurant 7 years ago on our last visit to York and had a very enjoyable meal so very pleased to say it was as good this time around. The menu format has changed but all of the small plates were delicious. No banana fritters on this occasion, maybe an idea to add them to the menu again.

Every time we go to York we always book a table at Khao San Road. We have never had a problem with the food or service and this visit was no exception. But in examining our receipt later that night,it came to our attention that...

The restaurant is beautifully set with a stunning floral display throughout and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The menu is amazing, such a lot of choice. Everything was cooked to perfection, fresh and tasty, but really need to give credit to the Gang Luang Pla Monk...

Absolutely amazing. Me and my partner like to eat out quite a lot so went here with my family for my 21st birthday. The food was so so good. We ate off the lunch menu (2 dishes and rice for £15) and then ordered more...

Upon arrival, we appeared to be the only customers and so thought it could have been a mistake. Quite the contrary. This place was fantastic!! Food was fresh and tasty. Service was brilliant and some great recommendations. If you like Thai and you’re in York...

4 friends on a Monday night, the setting is lovely and we were excited as we’d read good reviews. Unfortunately this did not match our experience at all . The dishes are on the small side (and yes, I know it’s tapas) , one of...

Food was really nice and tasted great. However the restaurant recommended 3 meals each as they are supposedly small. We 3 meals and rice between us (2) and it was more than enough. You could of fed a family of 4 for what they recommended...

Wow what a little gem this restaurant is. The food was the best we’ve had in a long time! We had three tapas each plus some rice and noodles, which was plenty for four people, with a bottle of Prosecco and beers @ £50 per...

We ate here Friday night. Lovely wee restaurant. We ordered 3 plates each, plus an extra rice. The food was delicious. Staff were lovely. Lovely wine. Will definitely visit again when and if back in York.

We had booked but were greeted with no smile, no ‘good evening’ just ‘over here’. The music was western, thumping and so loud I couldn’t hear my husband two feet away. There was food under my table. When we asked to move away from the...

This was our second visit here and couldn’t fault a thing. The service was really good, the waitress was helpful recommending dishes. All of the food was delicious, couldn’t pick what I liked best as it was all so good. Can’t wait to go back...

We visited this restaurant for dinner whilst enjoying a break in York - myself, my wife and our two teenage daughters. We booked in advance. It was mid-week during the half-term holiday and the place was buzzing. The menu can appear a little daunting but...

We called in last Saturday afternoon , we hadn’t booked in advance but we were quickly shown to a table by a friendly server. The menu has a great selection so we chose 5 of our favourites to share between the two of us. We...

Visited spontaneously and at first staff were over zealous asking for order which is fairly difficult as the menu is on a two sided A3 sheet of unfamiliar terms for the items. The menu recommended selecting 3 items per person so with average price per...

I Wanted to try something a little different when in York on business, I’m so glad I chose to have dinner here. Lots of variety to choose from and the Food was so fresh and so flavourful 😋 Pop in, you won’t be disappointed 👍

An amazing find. What wonderful food. Thai is our favourite and it didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to be back in York so we can return here. Everything was fabulous. Thankyou!

We visited the restaurant for dinner, really didn't enjoy the food which I felt was expensive per dish (about £8 per tapas dish). I thought the combo of flavours didn't really work together - perhaps that was just down to the particular dishes I chose.

Had a fabulous meal here. Must admit admit I have not been here for a while but lets face it an excellent venue never changes and this is one of them. Excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Will return!!!

Lovely decor and friendly service, great atmosphere at this thai tapas fusion restaurant. We had 8 dishes including rice and a dessert which sufficed for 2 people. Portions sizes are small which is to be expected in a tapas style however some were not really...

On arrival as walk-ins, the woman who greeted us was rude (blonde hair, white with a foreign accent). She looked at her watch and rolled her eyes then asked another staff member to set our table up. The Asian lady she asked was lovely and...

This has to be the best Thai restaurant we’ve been to in the uk. We managed to book a table for 4 last minute and when we arrived at the restaurant we knew that it was luck as the place was heaving! There was a...

Great food, friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Very busy. Prebooking is recommended. We had never had Thai in Tapas form before. All dishes were very good. They recommend 3 dishes per person. There were 3 of us and we had 7 dishes and 2 rice. One...

Most beautiful flavoursome Thai food I have had out of Thailand. Dishes are tapas style therefore you can nibble on a few different ones. Each was full of flavour and could really taste the lime, chilli or peanut across the different dishes. Not particularly cheap...

My wife and I popped in late afternoon on the 24th March. The place is tastefully decorated and has a nice cosy atmosphere. The restaurant recommends that you have 6 of the dishes which we did. The quality of food was excellent and the tapas...

The food was absolutely amazing. Thai tapas at its finest. So much to chose from. I would highly recommend this for a night out with friends or family. The curries are great.

Best food I’ve had in a long time. The service was second to none, the food was outstanding and the whole experience was just lovely!

This restaurant is so beautiful, reasonably priced, quick service, the staff are lovely, and the food is incredible! We ordered 6 dishes and every one of them was an amazing experience - the meat in particular was just so tender. Wonderful date night dinner, thank...

The food at Khao San Rd is absolutely out of this world. We've visited a few times and had the tapas menu. Whilst the portions are small, the quality of food and taste are unbelievable. If I could I would eat here every week but...

We both had an excellent meal here while staying in York in February. Lovely decor and friendly atmosphere. We will be back.

Tried to book in for a Saturday but the restaurant was fully booked so switched to Sunday evening instead. Arrived on time and it was packed so definitely need to book here. Seated quickly and the drinks order was taken and 15 minutes later we...

We really enjoyed our meal, fantastic food in a lovely restaurant. Considering the quality of the food, we thought it was good value.

Visited in December, had a few tapas dishes between us all, it was great, tasty, lots to choose from and there is a lunch deal "x plates for £x" which is great. Inside the restaurant is lovely, would be nice to go to on an...

Food was excellent, lots of choice (almost too much?!) and very tasty. Really like the idea of being able to order small dishes so can try different dishes. The place was busy with a nice atmosphere and service was good - we were helped when...

Website said 'Open', sign in the window said 'Open', door was locked, ignored by 'lunching' staff. ...was a walk, very disappointing, raining too.

Ate at this restaurant last night after having been previously and had a really good experience. Didn’t realise they had changed the menu to tapas. The food itself was tasty but very small portions for the price and one dish was cold and had to...

As locals we have been to this restaurant lots of times in the past and always enjoyed it very much. We hadn’t been for a while so it was a surprise to see the menu had changed to tapas style only. This has certainly increased...

We like Thai and it’s up there will the best we’ve ever had. The Tom Yum soup was out of this world. Portion sizes maybe a tad small. Highly recommend this place. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place didn’t look very impressive from the outside but the food is absolutely amazing. They have a great selection and all the dishes were well prepared, delicious and full of flavours. The staff were really helpful too and even though the restaurant was busy...

Popped in here on the offchance to see if they had a table for 2. Luckily they did. The food is tapas style - they recommend you order 3 dishes to get the best out of the experience, they are around £8 a dish though....

Not child friendly, too busy, expensive, but worst of all at the end of the main meal they told us the ice cream wasn’t gluten free to get us of the restaurant quickly; although when I checked the allergy menu, it stated it was gluten...

Good meal shared with old friends. We found the menu almost too long for comfort and should have spent more time focusing rather than catching up with our friends! But the food was good and well presented, nearly all of it arriving at the same...

We called in to eat before going to the Brew York speeds quiz. We ordered 3 dishes and a rice each. One of my dishes were served then 5 minutes later all 3 of my wife’s, then the 2nd one of mine then the rice...

Pretty close to the York Barbican. We had a group booking and everything was dealt with efficiently. Staff all friendly and helpful, nice food. Nothing not to like

This is my second visit to khao san road tai restraunt and it didn't dissapoint. Food was amazing, service was quick. Clean plates all round, will definitely be returning.

Thai tapas-style meal, delicious food, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A real gem of a place. Can’t fault any aspect of our evening. We’ll definitely go back if we’re in York again.

We visited as a groups of 6 and all had a great time. It’s a while since we have been and the menu had now changed to Thai tapas which is such a great idea, gives you opportunity to try lots of different dishes. The...

Came here on a visit to York! Came mainly because we stayed on this road when in Bangkok! What a find - unbelievably great food and ambiance! Thank you for the most wonderful evening! If you haven't been, you should! Amazing - spoilt for choice!

Had a delicious lunch here today. The food and service were very good . I will return and can recommend . The portions are small but it is tapas.!!!)

Food only average and not good value for money. We’ve been here many times over the last few years and it has always been excellent, but now they have changed menu to be Tapas. In reality, you are getting the same menu but only half...

Possibly the worst Thai I’ve had ever and we eat a lot of Thai. First, it’s Tapas style with prices of a normal size dish- if it’s tapas with small portions then adjust the price. The coconut rice we were served was nothing like previous...

So called Thai Tapas with far too many dishes on the menu, difficulty ordering as none are numbered and you have to memorise the dishes..difficult when theres 8 of you. A small dish averages £8.50 and 3 are required plus rice or noodles so £28.50...

Wow, what an amazing Thai experience. Food is outstanding, staff very efficient and the restaurant has a lovely ambiance. This is my 2nd visit in the last 4 weeks and it definitely won’t be the last.

Food was disappointing. As a tapas restaurant, you’d expect each dish to be similar portion sizes/as equally filling. Each dish varied a lot. Pad Thai was nice, would happily have had it by itself. My other dishes were disappointing - £7 for a small side...

Fabulous restaurant with great food and fantastic service with a smile. We were staying just around the corner from this restaurant and when you online search for food in York you are overwhelmed by choice. We are so glad we choose this restaurant. All the...

Despite the so busy night, Marton still accommodated us even without reservation. Service is a little slow, which is understandable (very few staff and super busy night) but Ying was super nice and a very very warm host. Their superb service made our night great!...

This place is normally lovely, we went last night and had the worst experience. Sat down no one came over for 20 minutes to even ask if we wanted A drink we had to flag someone down , the food eventually arrived, half of it...

First of all, this restaurant doesn't have som tum (papaya salad) which I expect to be available in the menu of a typical thai restaurant. Pad thai noodle was too sweet and not even hot when it came. The chicken satay was the worst I...

We booked to have a meal at Khao San Rd after passing it on our way from the hotel into town. So pleased we did. It is an intimate restaurant and the tables are close together but the atmosphere was great. The menu choice is...

Booked based on a recommendation. We arrived more or less on time, didn’t get our food for almost an hour, then was rushed out within 30 minutes of being served as they needed the table back; at £100 for dinner for two this really wasn’t...

Well. We have been here on several occasions over the years and never had cause to complain. Seems now that its tapas portions and I have to agree with the negative comments on here, small portions at £8 a dish not even hot, have to...

Stunning thai food. Best we've ever had. Every dish we ordered was incredibly delicious. The green curry was exceptional. And the service was great too.

Visited here while in York for the evening and due to our love of Thai cuisine we selected to eat here and was not disappointed, beautiful food and the small plates made it even better so we could have multiple both to suit our taste...

Khao San Road promote a Thai version of tapas with small plates. The choice is huge and it took us some time to come to a decision. The food was delicious. We had 5 dishes between two of us plus rice and noodles and that...

We were a group of four and had a great sharing meal. Best for bigger groups so you can have a taste of dishes you may not normally try. Very tasty food and really nice efficient service. Would eat here again.

So glad we ignored some of the reviews on here & have this place a try … a real gem … delicious, fresh, Thai food, friendly service & a lovely setting. Highly recommend this restaurant - especially the Duck Rolls, Chicken Green Curry & the...

Nice decor Friendly helpful staff Huge variety of choice Excellent food for a reasonable price Will definitely visit again

Amazing food, the dishes were all delicious. Service was great. Will definitely go back and I can’t wait to try more dishes on the menu. There was probably too much choice.

You could tell that it was known to be a great place to eat as it was very busy even though it was mid week. The menus suggested that you had 3 plates per person. We did but then added a rice. We had too...
