Little Mommy Thai in Leeds

I have tried this place during Covid when I think they newly opened and I had a good experience. I always go to myThai Merrion centre that is closer to where I live. I attempted to try this place again on my own tonight. Only one waiter and the manger/owner was behind the til looking at me and the waiter seemed to be in another world. I had a feeling it would take for ever taking my order never mind offering to even sit down!!! I was so hungry and extremely tired to stand more than about 10/15 min that I was there. Felt really awful and turned around and left. Just by the door on a small handwritten note it said (%10 OFF is pay in Cash)😨 totally got my answer about the place! Back to my usual place (myThai at Merrion centre) knew I was going to get sitted right away even if they are busy. Even kitchen staff go out of their way to welcome customers. They even knew what I like and how I like it. In fact I may tip the young waiter generously tonight as a thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ขอบคุณสำหรับการบริการอันแสนดีของคุณ

Staff attentive and quick with service. Prices reasonable compared to other Thai places on the same road. Easy to understand menu. Tasty food - I got a pad Thai. Only thing I would say is that it was quite greasy, oil build up on plate. Never had a pad Thai like this, normally tastes light and fresh. Would probably go back for their lunch special deal - £11 ish pounds for a main and starter everyday until 4pm. Also if you pay in cash you get 10% off!

The food is so good, but it gets busy and they dont have alot of staff. But again the food is iconic

Best restaurant in Leeds! Service here is way better than the other branch near the train station. Been here more than 10 times already

The portion size at Pad Thai is larger than some Thai restaurants, which is what is needed to satisfy an adult. The taste is close to what you would taste in Thailand, because I have tried it in many Thai restaurants and they all have different flavors. Pork trotter rice, the pork trotters are too overcooked and the meat is a bit woody. But in fact, everything you eat in Thailand has the same texture. Hainanese chicken rice, the rice portion is sufficient and tastes good. It’s always about the chicken breast. I personally find this part less tasty. Thai lemon tea is delicious, but the first sip is very sweet. It will be better if you wait for some ice cubes to dissolve slightly and dilute it. But Taicha is very sweet (it has already been called Shaotian). I wonder if he has forgotten Shaotian? Definitely or less sweet, it’s still so sweet🤔 As for the skewers, it was ordered by a friend, so I can’t comment. My friend ordered a curry rice. The curry was so salty that it was hard to eat. My friend asked me to try it. The saltiness was as if salt had been added to it repeatedly. Even my friends who usually eat strong food found it very salty. All in all, Pad Thai is more delicious, and the Thai lemon tea is OK. So there is no possibility of visiting again.

The best Thai food in leeds! And at a extremely great price. We had their lunch time offer that was £11.95 for a starter and a main, the portions were huge and the quality of the food was top notch too! We will definitely be making this place a regular visit!

We went to Duncan street! All I can say is great food great service great prices!! Reminded us of quality street food we had in Phuket and Krabi! Keep up the good work guys. Will be back! And will also try Vicar lane. When next stay at the Travel lodge! 👍👍

The Food quality and taste is always devine. service was exceptional!! Our favourite place to eat after shopping in leeds!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was poor, and the food was shockingly bad, just as another one-star review described. The Thai curries were watery and lacked coconut milk, which made them taste unappetizing, honestly smelt like baby sick as per the other one star review from another customer. We left both our meals after having one mouthful and the lady waitress insisted we had to pay in full which we did. This was genuinely the worst food I have ever had. Additionally, the black manager was very rude, shouting at an elderly woman near our table. This is my honest experience, and I would not recommend this place. AVOID.

Must say. First time visiting. What a lovely place to be in. Everything was good from start to finish. Delicious 😋 food. Lovely staff. A must visit when in Leeds. The Vicar's Lane Little Mommy Thai.

Amazing food that came really fast, super cosy vibe

Excellent service .. food amazing ..small place but enough room. Even catered for table of 10 although outside it was warm. Dishes presented very well.. can't wait to try again very soon. Starter main for set price if go between certain times brill value for money

Food was ok but was told to move to the “bar” (which was the corner of the restaurant) as soon as we finished the food. We had only been there for 40 minutes. Not very impressed with that

Wonderful and tasty food. Service great. Avoid the leaking toilet downstairs

Its so bad experience when i m trying noodles and also employees behaviour was so rude and not attentive.

Service good, dishes were excellent but the rice was overcooked

It was my first time to this THai restaurant.My experience was worst . A lady don’t know how to behave with Customer she just ruined our day and food was not up to the point as it said but there was a person how treat as well after it was my worst experience how ever i been to soo my restaurant

Really lovely place. Super affordable. I'll definitely be back

Encountering racial discrimination. When there were a lot of empty seats, the waiter wouldn't let us sit at a table for four and let white people sit.

cute and cozy restaurant, quick friendly service. food smells and taste great, good portions and great value for lunch. I usually go to other restaurants on the street but I decided to finally try this restaurant but I had less than 20 mins to eat. I fell in love with it in that time! Kow sow reccomended.

The kind of restaurant that I like best: small, unpretentious, with very good food (reminding me of actual Thailand), reasonable prices, and a good vibe. Also, discovered by sheer accident. My partner and I were really happy with lunch today. Pity we don’t live in Leeds…

Great food, with great fresh tasting Thai flavours. From mild to extremely spicy! Excellent price for lunchtime menu.

Service - As always, staff were friendly and attentive. No complaints. Atmosphere - Great atmosphere, far prefer this spot to the larger Mommy Thai on Boar Lane. Much less hectic but still captures the enjoyable hustle and bustle of a cramped and cozy eatery, and the chairs are far more suitable here. Food - It's difficult to talk about Thai food in Leeds and not compare to Thai A Roy Dee, of which it would be difficult to compare the two. There are some crossover in dishes however largely the menu is quite different, with Mommy Thai offering more options in the way of noodle soups. It is however worth noting, of the few crossover dishes featured in both restaurants which I have tried (pad ka pao, rat na and pad kee mao) the crown would undoubtedly fall to Thai A Roy Dee. Khao Soi - Simply very delicious. The broth is rich and creamy and intensely aromatic. The flavour of the curry paste sings in this dish. Incredibly moreish, I could eat 4 bowls of this and sleep a 4 day coma after. Must try! Rat Na - As stated above, comparing this with the Thai A Roy Dee version is night and day. Where Thai A Roy Dee serves up a truly authentic offering with soft velvety pork slices, tender vegetables and well balanced umami sauce drenched over perfectly fried rice noodles, not swimming in oil. The Rat Na at Mommy Thai falls short, tough pieces of chicken with watery mushrooms and overcooked vegetables, in a sauce that is near black and tastes purely of soy sauce atop a very small portion of oily noodles. Not my favourite. Pad Ka Pao Moo Grob (crispy pork belly) - Again, its missing something. Tasting really only of soy sauce again and close to black, indicative of far too much dark soy. The pork belly didn't retain its crunch and was unfortunately quite tough. The dish contained unnecessary pieces of onion, carrot and other veg. Typically this wouldn't feature in an authentic PKP and I have to assume it's included to bulk out the dish and scrimp on pork. A financial issue I won't criticise although it did impact my enjoyment of the dish. Price - More expensive than Thai A Roy Dee and totally not worth it. You're paying approx £4 more for dishes at Mommy Thai which are cheaper and far tastier at Thai A Roy Dee. This is not a negative review and Mommy Thai offers some seriously tasty dishes if you know what to order. I would stick to their noodle dishes, specifically noodle soups which is there total strength.

Only wished they had a child menu option. The food is lovely and I love the atmosphere.

First visit to this place , the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was amazing good size portions. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Delicious food served in very friendly manner highly recommend

Lunch offer is fantastic - starter and main for 9.95?!

Brilliant food, but felt that you were understaffed on a Boxing Day. Also, please fix your entrance door as I had to get up and close it every time due to the draft. Felt cold at times, but overall great experience. You also need new teapots or clean them better 😃

Lovely little place. Food fantastic.

Lovely restaurant serving excellent fresh food. Fast and efficient service. Could be a little tidier and cleaner.

Great food but can sometimes take up to 40 minutes to have your order taken. Some staff members are friendlier than others.

Food was surprisingly good with decent portions. It's well worth a visit.

This was one of our go to Thai restaurants when we come into Leeds but tonight it was a big let down. The Pad See Aew was meant to come with flat noodles but came with regular egg noodles, the chicken was bland and the veg was rock hard, not even slightly cooked. The Pad Kee Mow lacked any flavour apart from having a kick from the spice. Neither of us finished the food as it just wasn't very pleasant. The spring rolls were good and the prawn crackers. The bill came, even though we didn't ask for it, and the waitress clearly wanted us out as she wanted to merge our table with another to seat a group. She made it obvious she wanted us to finish our drinks and leave, which made us uncomfortable. The food quality and the overall experience was not great which is such a shame as this used to be a great place for food.

Amazing Thai curry! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent! Excellent food and service. The waiting staff were very nice and welcoming and the food was authentic. Will be back!

I visited Mommy Thai for the first time today and was very impressed with the food. I ordered the large set menu, which was a great value for money. The dishes were all delicious and authentic, and the portions were generous. The only downside was the service, which was a bit forgetful. The waiter forgot to bring us our waters when we first ordered, and when we reminded him, it took a long time for them to arrive. I think the restaurant could have done with another member of staff, as it was quite busy and the waiter seemed to be struggling to keep track of everything. Overall, I had a good experience at Mommy Thai and would definitely recommend it to others. The food is delicious and the value for money is excellent. Just be aware that the service can be a bit forgetful at busy times.

very standoffish waitress who potentially forgot to note down the specifics i gave and came out with a main that wasnt what i entirely asked for. mocktails aren't the tastiest either. starters were lovely, but my main was lukewarm and almost tastleless, and very goopy in texture. i waited 20/25 almost minutes for service in hopes i would get another meal made, but instead they just brought over the bill. it is good that i was not charged, but it also would have been nice to be offered something else. take note, it was not busy, nor was it near closing time, but still i left hungry and was, quite frankly, put off getting anything else. it's a shame, i did love this place.

Ok so stumbled on this place, partly bc was searching for another Thai restaurant but also bc hunger anguished. Food was surprisingly very tasty and good value for money. Found my new Thai place.

I went to a cafe to wait for a friend and have a bite to eat together afterwards. The waitress approached me for the first time and asked me what I wanted, and I didn't even have time to look at the menu, I said I wanted to look at the menu. I sat for about 5 minutes and looked at the menu and then this woman came up to me and asked me if I had chosen something with some irritation that I had been sitting here for a long time. I said I was waiting for a friend and then the woman asked me after how long he would be here, because I had already been sitting here for a long time. I got up and walked out of there.

Very taste but poor quality, was hard to eat, meat was all stuck in my teeth

Been here a couple of times and I have tried 3 different dishes and I must say I am impressed with the food. That's why I had to go back

Pad Thai is disappointed - too sour and too much dressing. The green milk tea is too sweet.

Good waitress, but the chef is rude. Mushroom served is raw. Soft outside but hard inside. Issue raised. Waitress is very kind and tried to resolve it. But the chef, an old lady, insisted that their mushroom is cooked thoroughly, as if I would lie for a few mushroom. Bad experience

What happened here? This USED to be a quality restaurant worth coming back to. The new management here is disgraceful and cares little for customers. It wasn't even crowded when I last went in and was waiting for the waiter to bring me some chili condiment but I had finished my meal by the time he was done serving some other customers which took over 10 minutes!

Very good food. Personally I recommend streamed sea bass with lemon and chilli. A bit spicy, but if you have it with rice, it will be just perfect.

Great food at great prices. Absolutely nothing to fault this restaurant, service, atmosphere, food and drink spot on. It was testament to the place that it was full when we turned up at 6:30, tables turned over regularly and it was still full when we left at 8pm.

The food is great! But had to give it 3 stars because the service isn't great. They're always understaffed so it's slow and we don't normally get everything we need. The one toilet is cold and it's often a bit chilly in the restaurant. But the food is great and the prices are good too.

Most of our dishes were nice but my sticky rice was like had plastic and I was super disappointed. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves.

This place has everything you want from a Thai restaurant! The soups have such depth of flavour, and just the right balance of chilli heat, sweet & umami. The quirky decor really adds to the atmosphere.

Disappointing all round. Corn fritter had no corn. Just tasted like a poor quality donut. Chicken red curry was inedible, had a very unpleasant smell and taste. Very watery consistency. Food (spring rolls) was being prepared by kitchen staff in the main dining area next to other guests and in the route to the toilets. Bags of food lay in the corridor. It just feels poorly run. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

I've been here twice, and I love it, the food is great and the vibe is really nice, my favourite restaurant

Absolutely shocking! RUDE, SCAMMERS, serving BABYSICK FOOD, throwing VERBAL HOSTILE AGGRESSION! felt UNSAFE!!! Had to wait forever before being seated despite there being available tables because male waiter ignored us and tried to pretend we hadn't walked into the restaurant. Male waiter finally had to acknowledged us and gave us a table at the back of the restaurant right next to the kitchen where kitchen staff are emptying plates into a smelly bin and waiters are walking by with plates of hot food and other patrons constantly passing by to get to the toilets. Understandably because of this reason I requested if it was possible to get a different table by pushing two empty single tables together for our group. Male waiter refused and told us it was tables reserved for couples and single diners only. We seated ourselves and less than 5 mins later, another group comes and the male waiter pushed the two reserved single tables for them. After this point, the male waiter ignored our table completely and averted his glaze towards us whenever he walked passed us. After waiting a while because the male waiter ignored us, a female waitress with attitude comes out and rudely barks and demands our order by yelling "WHAT YOU WANT" and "OKAY NEXT!" at us like we were an inconvenience to them. She made our drinks order very watery with lots of ice and overly sweet with no coffee taste in the Iced coffee. When our food came, I ordered the fishcakes which was really good but unfortunately the sweetcorn cakes were soggy and oily tasting, and our mains the Kow Soi and the Tom Kha had no flavour and was bland like they didn't use enough coconut milk. And instead it had hints of Babysick taste to it, almost like they used out of date milk. Which probably explains why it didn't have the amazing coconut milky taste it use to have. During our efforts of trying to stomach the food, the group who had the tables pushed together for them, had complained they'd received the wrong food order, what happened next was completely shocking and unbelievable. The male waiter snatched the plate of food from the patron's table and slammed it onto the kitchen window and proceeded to shout verbal aggression at the kitchen staff, and the female waitress even joined in shouting at them. Even though we didn't understand what they were saying, the verbal tone and aggression in their voices made the entire restaurant go quiet, and the atmosphere became very uncomfortable and felt hostile. Afterwards the kitchen staff can be heard throwing plates and clanking metal pots, which understandably they were irritated by the waiting staff's attitude and horrible treatment towards them. Because of this uncomfortable altercation that's happened, adding to the already weird babysick tasting food, we couldn't stomach anymore of it and just wanted to leave. I had to really wave like a monkey at the male waiter to really grab his attention with a few "excuse me" before he finally acknowledged us. I requested if we could get a doggy bag or containers because despite the weird tasting food, my friends doesn't like wasting food. The male waiter told us they had to charge us 50p per container, I was really shocked to hear this, because I've never ever heard of anywhere charging people to take their leftovers away... He explained to me that because its happy hour and its to stop people from coming in during happy hour and ordering food just to take it away? I didn't understand the logic??? and besides you can clearly see and use your discretion to tell that we're not coming in just to order food and taking it away, we've already sat down for a while and ate quite a bit of our food.... I felt like this was a blatant scam, just an excuse to money grab as much money as they could. Afterwards we had to again wait forever for the bill as the waiter ignored us. and when we finally paid, and we were trying to finish our drinks off, the waiter tried rushing us out because he needed our table for other patrons... yet they were only there for a few seconds.. unbelievable... laughable!

Perfect Thai meal! Started with a Tom kao soup as a starter with shrimp and mushrooms then had a kow soi for dinner. Definitely had leftovers and was super authentic reminding me of when I was in Thailand! Would recommend

Decided to try for first time but never again. Restaurant about half full so thought it would be a reasonable service. Sadly after waiting 30 minutes for staff to ask me what drink or even order food I decided to get up and walk out. Staff just didn't seem bothered at all... Anyhow decided to try Thai Aroy Dee close by and it was busy very busy but couldn't fault it at all as the food and service was outstanding and can'trecommend it enough.

Great little place for Thai food, taste, portion and price was good 👍

Food⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I ordered chicken satay and pork pad Thai from the special lunch menu and a portion of Thai fishcakes. When my food arrived they brought me pork dumplings instead of chicken satay. I couldn't be bothered asking the waiter because he was busy. I ate them and they were good. The fishcakes were tasty but seeing as they brought me the pad Thai with the starters it was cold when i started eating it. Food took a while to get to tables and it wasn't even that busy. I've had better thai food and also worse. 6/10.

Food is tasty and the service is nice. I will visit again for sure.

Very reliable. Probably my favourite Thai place at the moment. Prefer this to the Duncan Street branch, more laid back.

Lovely friendly place to eat great food.

Bad service, staff annoyed at our party size and for not calling ahead but when we had called earlier in the day they had said they didn’t take reservations. Felt uncomfortable whole time and left as quick as possible. Zapp across road much better.

Nice food and reasonable prices.

This plac is the place to go if you like Thai food!! The taste is amazing, the atmosphere is great and it has a very good price!!!

Amazing Thai Food for Thai food lovers. Probably the best Thai Restaurant I have visited so far

This is a must for a Thai in Leeds. The food is such good value and delicious. Friendly service topped it off. Wonderful.

Great delicious food. It is better or at least as good as other Thai places in the UK. Staff are friendly and super nice. The is an outdoor and indoor seats. Totally worth visiting.

I come here all the time, with my girlfriend, with friends, on my own. I get cravings for mommy thai food all the time and realised I never left a review! It's bloody gorgeous though. The portions are decent. Don't let the large trays they serve on trick you! There's loads. I always get a thai tea in the side and have no idea how they make it taste so good (I've bought the mix for it and can't get it right). Go. You won't regret it. Also please be adventurous and get something other than pad thai (I know the pad thai is good from others' input) The lunch deal is amazing too. You get a starter and main for about a tenner.

Found this lovely little Thai Restaurant, food was very good and the surroundings authentic, liked the hanging lanterns, would fully recommend a visit, prices average.

The best Thai food I have eaten outside of Thailand with amazing service 🤤

Delicious pork and eggs in 5 spice sauce. It was busy when we went but the staff were attentive and quick kop kuhn khap!

If you are big fun of asian food, at least you can give a chance otherwise it wouldn't be good choice.

Best Thai street food in Leeds in my opinion. It's cheap (lunch: starter and main from £7.95), tasty and fresh. There is not a lot of space inside, just few tables and few outside. We would like to eat inside so had to wait just 5 mins. Interior design is simply, exactly like street food kitchens in Thailand. Young lad served all the tables on very busy Saturday afternoon with good attitude and smile on his face. This place offers variety of Thai beer, cocktails and original, amazing food.

Me and my friend came here on Saturday and I had Pad Thai with veg, amazing food! Relaxing and vibrant atmosphere. I didn't catch the name of the guy that served us, but he was lovely and chatty. Can't wait to visit again!

Good location, good selection with good price. The restaurant is not big, however, it favours their staff - so they can make sure they are taking good care of all their customers!! The decor is cool! Friendly staff, cosy and interesting vibe in the restaurant. The staff have also introduced their fresh lemon to me - they are really growing the thing and taking care of their little lemon tree lol. Their foods are of great variety and vegan options are available as well. Their foods are tasty, delicious and satisfying with big portion!

One of the greatest thai restaurant. Place itself was a bit small but thai curry and stir fried dish was delicious. Great price and fast service.

Nice environment actually feels like your in Bangkok not some commercial restaurant in England. Afternoon deals were cheap and lots of vegan and veggie options. I had the green curry with tofu 😋 Only thing they could do with getting some wifi*

A really great traditional Thai cafe, great prices, and fantastic food that some of the bigger Thai restaurants have lost.

Main course was not good it was very sweet .. ambiance was stinky .. Starters were so delicious. Service is good .. .

Authentic Thai restaurant with a great lunch time deal

Feedback from multiple visits over a number of months, with repeated pattern : Good food (at the price), but poor service. Wrong order taking, staff ingrossed chattering amongst themselves instead of being attentive to customers, tables left unclean until next customer arrives.

Great real Thai food, very good deal.

Really nice food, great value offer for lunch, even on a weekend.

Great food, great value, great staff. Lovely addition to the Thai scene in a bustling little Thai quarter of Leeds. Very friendly service which is completely at odds with the recent negative reviews. I was eating at the same time this apparent incident occured and to say those reviewers are only telling one side of the story would be an understatement! Anyway, 5 stars from me and my Asian wife and in-laws and we'll definitely return, we regularly eat at their other branch but very happy to have gone here also.

Freaking delish! Food pack with flavours!

Never come back because of terrible service

I actually think that this place has better food that the outlet at Duncan Street! I'm not sure why, but there it is.

Lovely food and quick friendly service. Will definitely go again

Some of the tastiest Thai food I’ve had, super friendly staff and very decent prices!

Very tasty, filling food, the staff are super nice and helpful. The menu is quite large so you won't be short of things to eat, the portion sizes are quite big, Yorkshire sized if you will, very generous with meat, veggies and noodle/rice, a very warm and inviting atmosphere, as if you are visiting family and all they want to do is feed you. Can't wait to come here and try something new on the menu.

Wow...chicken satay came out red! Sent it back immediately. They gave me a free meal but to be fair I was already put off.

Tried this place for lunch on Sunday. They had a set menu option which was £7.50 - £8.95 where you could pick a starter with a main & meat of your choice. I had the prawn tempura starter which was delicious, and Tom Yum noodle soup main with beef. The soup broth was spicy and flavourful. The food quality, portions and value were good, but the service could have been a bit better.

Super tasty food. Really good vegetarian options and omnivore options too.

Great flavours and a vast menu to choose from, 👌 I'll be checking in again sometime soon hopefully 🙏

Absolute gem of a place in Leeds city centre. They have authentic meal options to try and the spice level is just right! Staff members are friendly and atmosphere is great for a quick meal.

Very good foods taste just like thai street food in thailand. Alot of choice to choose from and good selection of drinks.

Having looked at the reviews, I can’t believe I’ve eaten in the same place, today…had Thai equivalent of prawn chow mien…seemed a long time in coming, as customers who came in after me were served first, but that was fine. The chow mien was tasteless ,and consisted of noodles, a little raw carrot, a little raw cabbage, a little raw cauliflower, of which shouldn’t of been in a chow mien…a few bean sprouts……no onion, or spring onion, no peppers, no seasoning either salt or pepper…the only thing I could taste was soy sauce, the shrimps were tougher than the raw carrots….to be fair the the dish was only £ 7.50, but won’t be going again.

Value for money, generous portion size and a relaxed atmosphere.

Service was okayyyyy, wish there was more of a Thai smile! I spoke to the waitress and asked for Thai spicy - after living in Asian and Thailand for some time I can conclude that what I received was killer spicy! I can definitely handle my chilli but I wasn’t unable to finish my meal. Otherwise nice little place, would ask for not so Thai spicy next time. Environment +++ Speed +++

This is a must-go-to restaurant if you are craving Thai food. The food portion is great, the taste is so authentic, literally transported you back to Thailand. The staff is courteous and friendly.

Great food good value, attentive staff, well done
