Mommy Thai in York

Mommy Thai has undergone some changes, unfortunately, mostly negative. The set lunch price has increased from £7.95 to £9.5, and they no longer offer soft drinks. I used to enjoy visiting them frequently, but today, the service was extremely disappointing. The waiter provided me with the menu but never returned to take my order. Instead, he served customers who arrived after me, which felt unfair. Despite making several eye contacts, he still did not come to serve us. I’ll never visit this unfriendly restaurant anymore. Not recommended.

Do I happen to be the ethnicity you discriminate against or something? If not then why is every other table served by you except for mine? I came earlier than those tables, even the last customers who entered were served, we made eye contact with you so many times, and even asked you whether we can order now, you straight up ignored us, what’s your reason for being so rude?

Fantastic food at an affordable price, highly recommended!

Fabulous little restaurant, food stunning and very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

It’s rare to have (Thai) duck soup noodle in the U.K. and I’m happy to say it tastes authentic and delicious. The Thai fish cakes are nice as well.

We came here for dinner on the recommendation of our daughter who’d had lunch here with her husband and their little boy the previous week. The restaurant is small and unpretentious but warm and welcoming. I ordered the prawn pad Thai and my wife had a prawn and noodles bowl in a yellow curry. How to describe our food in two words?: Absolutely sensational. The presentation of the pad Thai might not have been as elegant as you’d find in some chain Thai restaurants but give me Mommy Thai over any of them for the succulence and complexity of the dishes and for the generosity of the serving of fat scrumptious prawns. To accompany our food we had a bottle of superb perfectly chilled Viognier at under £20. Phenomenal value. It was a Monday night at the restaurant was busy. No wonder. The young man who served us was a star. What a find!

Lovely lunch deal and gf options

Had take away. 5/10. The good first Pad Thai and Crispy Chicken mains were lovely. Starters terrible. Shared 4 starters. Moo yang pork ok. Ribs terrible all fat Dumpling terrible doughy thick tasteless Satay chicken terrible no satay sauce on chicken. Would not use again.

Absolutely incredible food, just wish I lived in York as I would visit here all the time!! Great portion sizes and great value for money!!

Have eaten in before and always been happy. Ordered a take away through deliveroo and the restaurant hadn’t put the chicken in the dish. Rang to let them know and they weren’t interested. Eat in but don’t get a take away from them.

Beautiful food so tasty. Perfectly cooked king prawn dish. @ 9.50 who can complain.

By far the best Thai food in York and probably the best I’ve ever had! Me and all of my friends are obsessed and now that I’ve moved away from York I always crave it and wish they would open more restaurants! Such great value and just amazing food.

Excellent food and great place. Good prices

Found Mommy Thai in York by accident - tiny little restaurant, decorated to make you feel like in Thailand, with excellent food and great value!

Fantastic restaurant with a wide range of options on the menu. It tasted absolutely amazing. I wouldn't hestiate to recommend this place for some delicious Thai cuisine

Fabulous food, efficiently served, authentic atmosphere, best Thai I've been to in years. Great to visit an independent place too.

Checked their takeaway menu as what their website shows. Noted down all the dishes we want and called to order a pick-up. Tried calling for 30 minutes from 2 mobiles and 1 landline and can never get through. So we drove there instead, and was told their phone breaks down (don’t know what impact it has on a business). Started placing the order - now was told the York menu online is NOT accurate. It is indeed the Leeds menu and York has a different menu. They blamed the company who made their website - but guess if it’s a known issue for a while, Mommy Thai can request it to be fixed? Fair enough, no starter platter right, let’s skip the starter. Tom Yum Soup shows £4 on the menu but £5.45 at York. Not impressed but ok go ahead with the order. 3rd dish on my list is NOT available in their branch (again, in Leeds only). Hm…. After discussion with my family we decided to go somewhere else. Lucky we got a few options marked down on Google Maps (we are not local residents, just visiting the city), so got a backup in hand at that moment. We went to The Old Siam and indeed they are very good.

We decided to try mommy Thai after looking for an authentic Thai place it’s tucked away down a small side street it’s quite small inside but cosy so probably not the best if your a large party we went for lunch the food was amazing it was just like I was back in Thailand you can see the chef cooking in the back with his wok everything cooked fresh for you it was really that good and when I got the bill I would of easily paid twice as much for food of that quality this place is definitely worth a visit

Absolutely stunning and scrumptious. I’ve been ordering delivery from here for years and never tried eating in until recently. Loved the tiny, colourful space that they have managed to cram in. Nice lighting to enjoy a truly scrumptious dish at affordable prices. Top 3 Thais in york

Really small place but packs a punch for flavour and portion sizes!! I’d book or you could end up waiting around for a table

Pretty damned good I have to say

Absolutely brilliant. We loved it such that we chose to eat there twice during out stay in York. Highly recommended!

The three dishes we had were all brilliant. Very different flavours across the dishes and great value for money. I would definitely go back again. Everything in the menu sounded appealing. It’s only a small venue so if you are a big group call ahead for a table

Hello there. My associate and I came to sample (munch) your finest spice. See image for full review.

Very small restaurant, however it is worth visiting for the family style experience and also fantastic value for money. I love the varieties and flavours of the Thai food. This is a MUST visit every time I'm in York, I couldn't recommend it enough.

Great fresh fast food, beautiful flavours and good price. Would recommend and will go back! Thank you!

Small place with huddled tables and a constant footfall. Food tastes fresh and absolutely delicious . Service was good too. Will b back Lunch menu well priced

Small hidden gem in York. Authentic tasty Thai . Interior is squishy but adds to the street food atmosphere. The food came fast fresh and hot ! Highly recommend

What an amazing restaurant. Lovely relaxed vibe, great food at a nice price. Would recommend to anyone in york.

Good Thai food at an affordable prices Solo work trip On a rainy Monday eve so was checking out Tripadvisor for places to eat and stumbled across this placeD It’s very small inside maybe 15-18 seats , twinkly lights cosy feel. They now don’t have a license but allow you to bring your own beer but then charge £2 per can/bottle corkage I wasn’t sure what to get as I love Thai food . But opted for chicken green Thai curry with spicy shrimp crackers. Shrimp crackers was a huge portion! Green curry was nice , good bit of crunch from veg and chicken wasn’t chewy or anything. Served with rice all for about £14 I was disappointed that they don’t do mango sticky rice pudding as I had seen it on another review and really wanted it. Don’t think they do any puddings but I was so full anyway! Would it return? Yes. To try the noodles

Great value lunch menu, main , drink and side for £8.95 and upgrade to large for an extra £2. Portions are huge and the food is authentic. I have lived in Thailand and the chefs are incredible, ignore the bad reviews. Kopkhunkarp

Favourite Thai place to go for value! Would recommend going for the meal deal it'll fill you up for the entire day 😋

My favourite Thai experience, the restaurant it's self is very small but tidy and clean. The food is absolutely amazing, I've honestly never had better Thai food anywhere else, if I'm in York I'm getting either lunch or dinner from here! Wholeheartedly recommend.

We looked in the window and thought it looked small and dingy but decided to give it a whirl. So glad we did: the service was quick, the food so, so tasty, and value for money. Staff friendly. There are other "better looking" Thai restaurants in York, but I can't imagine they could be any better for tasty food. Loved it.

This is a little gem hidden on a side street that is worth searching for. The lunch special is truly special and the service was great even during a super busy time.

Came here for dinner with my partner and it was the best Thai I've ever had. Lovely service and atmosphere, the food was perfect in every way and a very good price. Would highly recommend!

Me and my partner often come to York, and always choose to call in and have a meal at Mommy Thai. Personally, it’s the best Thai in York. It’s incredibly affordable food made with great, fresh produce. The same waiter has been serving us for 3 years now and he’s very pleasant. The restaurant itself is very small, only proving around 7 tables. With this said, it does get busy! My favourite dishes include the Panang, yellow curry and pad Thai. Thank you so much for always providing a cosy and clean space to enjoy some authentic Thai food. Definitely one to try!

Small restaurant iff the beaten track. Great food with quick service. Popped in on the off chance of a table and were lucky as it gets full quickly. Better to book. Portions are great and taste fabulous.

If you like Thai and you're visiting York. Mommy Thai is the go to place, the food is delicious and the service is great. Will definitely be dining there again next time I'm in York

Nice Thai restaurant in the heart of York. Cooked by Thai chef and all dishes taste pretty much Thai.

The food and service was outstanding.... Only small place but you won't be disappointed... I shall dream of the pork dumplings..sooooooo gooood 😊

Great affordable food. We love coming to this place

Best Thai in York, good portion sizes to very fair prices!

The lunch deal is EXCEPTIONAL value. We previously visited here 6 years ago, the price has barely changed and the quality and the taste is as brilliant as ever. A must visit if you're in York.

One of my absolute favourite places to eat in York! Mommy Thai is perfect for takeaways and to eat in, and I've literally never had a bad experience in all the years I've been enjoying their amazing authentic Thai food. The restaurant has such a cozy, personal vibe, and I can't recommend the pandan milk tea enough <3

Food was fantastic lunchtime visit we were pleasantly surprised and delighted with the service and quality of the food We will visit again next time we are in York

Awesome place had 2 pad Thai full of flavour and chicken 👍🏻

My favorite place for Thai food, just like mama cooking back in Thailand. Would definitely recommended.

Visiting York for my birthday weekend..when first entering this little place I was put off by how small it was…(did suggest to my partner we should go somewhere else) What a mistake that would of been….What’s the saying..great things come in small packages!!! The food was absolutely amazing…freshly cooked whilst you wait (didn’t take long) waiter was constantly checking everyone had what they wanted….this place is a gem 💎 100% recommended…Thank you for a beautiful meal ❤️

Absolutely terrible. It was like eating a bowl of sugar. I sent it back once. They brought it out with loads of sugar still. The waiter said that they haven't had any complaints before and that one of my dishes (tom kha Gai) was like that. 4 weeks ago I was in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Would avoid.

What a great surprise. This is a small little Thai place off the main tourists streets, and it's fantastic. I have had Pad Thai all over the world (but not in Thailand :-). This was the best I have had.

I have visited mommy Thai about half a dozen times in the past year, each time with my family. We have been mostly lunch times as there is a great offer on for main, starter and drink. The choice is excellent, everything is made fresh, and the food tastes amazing. It is only a very small restaurant, I think it seats around 16 people. It accepts walk ins, but is often full, so booking helps. I would 100% recommend this as one of my favourite places to eat on York, serving great authentic Thai food.

Very lovely food and very budget friendly! Perfect for young and the old! Will visit again!!

£8.95 for lunch deal: starter, main course, side dish and drink. Amazing value, great food and great atmosphere. Totally recommend.

Visited Mommy Thai while visiting York for a few days from Scotland on the 3rd of July. The fact that I am sitting at home over 200 miles away and missing Mommy Thai like a loved one should say everything about how amazing the food was. Incredible food, great service. Restaurant was small but cosy and welcoming. Please open a restaurant anywhere in Scotland.....anywhere 😁.

Great place. Food was gorgeous and lots of it. Best Thai tea I've had out of Thailand

Super cheap lunch deal £8.95 for a starter, main, side dish & a drink. Food was excellent, quick and good range. Restaurant small and atmospheric.

Great food excellent service and staff very friendly. Booking is recommended as restaurant is popular.

stumbled upon this fabulous find. Well worth a visit, food was amazing.

Myself and my boyfriend are regulars at Mommy Thai. I have absolutely no faults whatsoever for the restaurant and can only praise all dishes I have tried. We come for lunch almost every week where possible and are always treat with the upmost respect and friendliness everytime. I love panang as a personal favourite and my boyfriends daring food palette encourages me to try all different things from the menu when in the restaurant each week we go. Non of the dishes fail to amaze me, and with such value for money I wouldn’t want to spend my lunch times anywhere else! I love it here, it’s amazing.

I was looking forward to eating here but unfortunately it wasn't a great experience. Me and my partner both ordered the Green curry which is one of our favourite dishes but unfortunately this is one of the worst we had. It was far too sweet, it was like eating a bowl of sugar. The waiter didn't even have the decency to ask if everything was OK with our food. If you are going to eat here then I'd definitely avoid the green curry.

อร่อยมากค่ะ บริการดีด้วย Really good food and good service.

If you enjoy authentic and tasty Thai Food, Mommy Thai is the one for you. Homemade, delicious dishes at very reasonable prices, set in only a small restaurant but with great street food themed atmosphere. Advise booking to get a table. Would definitely return for another epic meal. Great lunchtime offer available.

Popped in for tea around 6pm on a Tuesday evening , grabbed the last 2 seats available , there were single diners couples and a family seated .., very pleasant young man gave us menus and took drinks order ... he was running around on...

I went with my girlfriend as a spur of the moment type of drop in. I can't express enough how great the service and quality of food was! She went standard, I went for a large portion and still felt exceptional value for money. The service is fast, helpful (I like spicey, however if I wasn't helped might have melted) and very friendly. Can't wait to try more of the menu (applause from me) very impressed. Meal: Pad Gra Pow ***** Low on the £10-20 bracket

Amazing street Thai food! Love the noodles in the soup I ordered. Will definitely return

We had the best meal here, absolutely delicious food and so reasonable. Two courses each and two beers for less than £45! The atmosphere was great as the place is very small and you are greeted with authentic smells the second you walk in. Fast...

Gorgeous authentic Thai food and lovely waiter! Will definitely come back when we visit York.

Lovely food and lunchtime special is great Starter, main and side dish and a can of pop for £8.95 Can’t go wrong for quality Thai food in a street food style setting

The food was great and the service super efficient. It’s a small restaurant but for me that just adds to the experience. The chicken broth with rice noodles was great and the starters seems freshly made, always a good sign. A couple of the group...

Very small and doesn't look much inside or out. The food is the best Thai food I've had. Excellent is an understatement.

My favourite restaurant in York. Mommy Thai is so friendly and the food is delicious. The highlight: their lunch special. I’ve been coming here for years and enjoying the tasty, amazing value and HUGE portions (I either take some home with me or waddle out of the restaurant). It’s a very small space for eating, which in my opinion adds to the atmosphere. A must visit.

Food is amazing. I recommend. Really Thai taste. Orders are fast. Location is good. Only a few tables. I would recommend a double check on cleaning.

The food was absolutely amazing!! A tiny little place tucked away but you need to taste it to believe it. Delicious!!!

Had takeaway, tasted good and service was spot on, the atmospheric conditions inside looked cosy. If you want traditional, you get it here or any other Thai restaurant in the city

The food is really nice, but i had to endure 10 minutes of the door wide open while the restaurant was re stocked, I was there at 16: 30, its a small restaurant and it was a cold day. this is very bad planning. surely...

Visited this evening and in the main had a lovely meal. For starters we had Satay chicken, prawn crackers and fish cakes. The fish cakes were homemade and absolutely delicious! The chicken satay was chunky pieces (rather than flat strips) and we were very happy....

Everything was tasty! Order anything, it's guaranteed to be banging!

Not as good as Leeds. Expensive for small portions. You pay £2 upgrade for Large, but it's just normal so not sure how small the normal portion would be. Staff friendly and helpful though. Small premises so need to book.

A lovely little restaurant. I had the coconut soup with chicken and the Thai fish cakes (always a favourite). SO tasty but soup just a tad too sweet. Hubby had the yellow curry with tofu..a big tasty portion of which he had no trouble finishing. That sauce is to die for!

Lovely food, good service. Traditional favourites, good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Been here a few times and yet to review, it is such a beautiful little hidden gem. I can't get over the lunchtime deal £8.95 for starter, main, side & drink! You get so much! I went last week, and yet again was not disappointing....

Best value lunch deal in town! A must visit! Good music including J pop! Foods feels very homely

I love the atmosphere! Went by myself and this is a great place if you wanna dine alone haha probably only about 6 tables in the restaurant. Thai music playing in the background, great lighting, I loved it. The owner/waiter was very friendly, I asked for recommendation cos there were too many choices… Ended up ordering Pad Gra Pow with prawn, max spiciness, and Thai milk tea. I regret ordering max spicy level, was really really spicy. This is so far my favourite place in York, quite a hidden place.

Fantastic food. Cosy atmosphere

Simple restaurant but with 5 stars taste! We really enjoyed the dinner. This is my genuine review. Well done everyone in Mommy Thai!

Thai food hidden in the alley, I went there at least five times. It's always busy and reservations are sometimes required in the evenings. The price is affordable and the taste is good.

Very reasonable prices for nice Thai food

Lovely food generous portions. Slightly quiet in the restaurant section but nice decor and atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Went for the £8.95 lunch menu and thoroughly enjoyed it! The place was well decorated, the lights and the wooden decor creates a nice atmosphere. Food was very tasty and good value for money!

Tasty food and good atmosphere. Great value for money on the lunchtime menu

We initially found the Leeds version but were delighted to find they had expanded to York. The restaurant is small probably seat a max of 14 people, the service was good and the food exceptional value we had a lunch special and for £9 you...

I simply do not understand the amount of negative reviews there are on here because I’ve been consistently going to this restaurant for over a year and to me it’s one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been in. The service is fantastic and the value is unmatched anywhere else in York. Definitely worth a visit

Great little Thai restaurant. Good portion sizes and price. If you are hungry you can go large Seating is limited, so book or go early. Constant stream of just eat and deliveroo drivers collecting food. The food is better than the chains such as giggling squid.

This is my favourite reasonable restaurant in York! Not only a good price but also the taste is amazing. I will come here soon.

Don’t recommend, the food wasn’t good.

Tucked away on King Street in York this authentic Thai restaurant offers a great taste of Asia. There are only about 10 covers so it is wise to book in advance, but it is worth it. The staff are friendly, food is excellent and the...

Consistently delicious, ample portions, superb value for money and fast delivery. Can't fault anything

Me and my wife (we are both Thai🇹🇭🇹🇭) were just looking for some bite before going on a ghost walk, so we just randomly came to this place. The staff greeting us with smile very politely (unlike the other one that we had 2 days ago). I ordered stir-fried krapao with crispy pork and top with fried egg. It was absolutely delicious the pork skin was perfectly crispy and the meat was tender and juicy with thai style spiciness. For my wife, she ordered Pad Kee Mao Pork. The dish was also very good. The pork was very tender and flavourful. We ordered pork dumpling to share and this was also very tasty. Overall the meal was very satisfied and the service staff was very polite and we feel like we were back in Thailand. Definitely coming back for more if we come back to York again. KOB KHUN KRUB AROY TEE SUD LOEY !! 🥰🥰Compliment to the chef and everyone in the team !

A small restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and music playing. The server, Ben, was friendly and explained the menu to me and my friend. We were both impressed with the restaurant's decor. The portions were big and the lunchtime deal was good value for money. I would definitely return.
