Phranakhon Thai Tapas Harrogate in Harrogate

The food was SO good we are still thinking and talking about it 3 days later. Very interesting and varied menu and good value for money. The restaurant itself feels a little bit tired, and the lighting needs adjusting, very bright in places. But it doesn't matter as the food is amazing! Special shout out to the lovely manager, we didn't catch his name but he's from Hungary.

My friend had been here before and loved it. This was my first time and I can see why she loved it. This restaurant has an extensive menu. I would certainly research it before you go, especially for an evening meal. We opted for the lunch deal which was two plates with steamed rice. I had the crispy beef and satay chicken. Both delicious. I wish they’d been slightly hotter though. They didn’t come cold but because they were warm enough to eat as soon as we were served, when I was chatting to my friend, the food got cold abit too quickly. If you eat it straight away, the food is at a perfect temperature to consume instantly. Friendly staff and great tasting dishes. I liked the decor and the restaurant wasn’t too busy but we did go at 3pm. I paid £26 overall so a very reasonable price given the service, amount of food and its quality. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good menu. As it was tapas it was small plates so we ordered 5?dishes between us, it was plenty but I really did not like the food bit disappointed as my wife enjoyed what she had also I was a bit expensive for what we had, maybe I would be better off with normal Thai and not tapas. Could not fault service or staff

Excellent Thai restaurant. Regular visitor to Harrogate on business and always have a Thai whilst here. First time in Phranakhon and best Thai food I’ve had in this town. Fishcakes, Tamarind Duck and Seabass on Lettuce are superb dishes. Very varied menu compared to other Thai restaurants I visit. Staff attentive and premises are spotless.

We had the early bird menu and we could not fault the food or the service one bit! The waiter was on hand to offer recommendations and explain more about the dishes available. The food came out in super quick time and it was hard to choose which was our favorite from the offerings!

Came here a while ago when it was a soft opening. Food was good then and still is. Lots to choose from on the menu and they were able to cater for all dietary requirements which was good. As there was 4 of us we opted for 12 different dishes. All cooked to order and arrived as and when they were ready. All tasted excellent. Service was good. My only quibbles were that the menu size needs to be smaller. It was printed on A3 which is quite big when you’ve all got one on the table. Double sided A4 is better. Other thing was the actual tables were a bit on the small side. Struggled to fit all our drinks and food on the table. Will still go back though.

Lovely ambiance, friendly staff, very flavourful food, all of which was piping hot and attractively presented. We probably ordered more than we could eat, but do keep an eye on prices because it can mount up and the wine is certainly overpriced. So I’d recommend, but I do object to the markup on the booze…

We had gone to Harrogate for the day we like thai food ,and had read the reviews about this restaurant. We had the Thai tapas deal plenty of choice on menu to choose from .would have preferred the Thai crackers and dips to have been served before the tapas came.But over all made a nice change for a Sunday

We stumbled on this little gem as it was nearby to our accommodation. They were very busy but accommodated us for an early dinner. Fantastic service and you MUST order one of the dishes from pork belly section - it was the best I’ve ever tried and all made in house. Really lovely service too. The lady running it was so helpful! Thanks for a fab meal!

Food, service, ambiance… perfect. Food was full of flavour, pipping hot, and best we have had! Great concept to enjoy various different Thai flavours, and made even more special with the incredible team. Nothing was too much trouble and a wonderful extra touch of delivering a few scoops of birthday ice cream! Thank you so much for a memorable evening! Highly recommended!

Delicious food and brilliant personal service. Can’t recommend this place enough. We’ve never been to Harrogate before and stumbled across this place. Loved every minute of it.

Lovely atmosphere and super helpful staff. The food was incredible - arrived quickly and was delicious. It was perfect!

If I could give this place 10/10 I would! Lovely atmosphere, great decor, enticing menu....but the star of the show is the food. The most authentic Thai food I have had this side of the world. Such flavours and because it's tapas style, we shared 8 dishes + rice between three of us, finished them, but really couldn't have eaten any more. If you're in Harrogate DON"T miss this little gem.

Wish I’d visited sooner. Really lovely little place. I love both tapas and a Thai, so this is a great way to have a selection of all your favourite dishes. The food was hot, flavoursome and attractively presented. Looking forward to our next visit.

We have eaten here a few times. When it first opened it was amazing, the food was some of the best Thai we had tasted but unfortunately the last two visits have been the total opposite. We thought we would give it the benefit of the doubt on Friday night and we regretted that decision. We ordered some of the dishes we had , had in the past and there were components missing. The Thai prawn curry was roughly a table spoons amount of curry sauce put over three prawns in the shell. The Seabass hadn't been cooked in batter as previously and was in thin strips over the lettuce. The tofu was soggy. The whole (small) portion of Jasmine rice was so clumped together you could pick the whole clump up with the fork and needed a knife to cut through it. The noodles were plain and tasteless. The main front of house waiter was as excellent as ever and the older waitress was amazing but the food let them down.

We made the mistake of walking in and not checking reviews first. Food looked ok at first glance and in picture, however, within an hour of leaving this restaurant my partner was vomiting (in the street as was so sudden) and then all night at the hotel - ruined our stay. We reported it to the council. We waited for our satay chicken to arrive which was late so not sure if it was this undercooked or the jelly like chicken thigh and skin which appeared in the pad Thai. My belly pork was deep fried and almost dehydrated. We left thinking we wouldn’t return but after the sickness, we would not like to repeat!

Having visited several times before. Last night was very disappointing. The quality of the beef was dreadful. All gristle non of it was edible. I pointed this out to the waitress but it was not removed from the bill. The chicken satay was made up of scratty bits of chicken and skin. The deep fried sea bass was like eating rubber. Totally over cooked. It was very expensive - totally overpriced - £8/9 per plate. So the suggested 3 plates per person makes an expensive portion. However 3 is not enough to feel fully satisfied. £6.00 for 2 scoops of icecream £5.00 for prawn crackers Excluding wine the food for 5 people was £190. Totally overpriced for the quality The service was really good. Friendly attentive accommodating staff. Which is why I have given 3 stars.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The ingredients were fresh and the food was served promptly. The waitress (presumably the owner) was very personable. She went out of her way to accommodate our daughter's fussy taste, nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend eating here. We'll definitely be returning.

Very quiet for a Sunday, sat down ordered drinks but they didn’t have J2O 🥹 had 5 tapas between 2 of us, the bill came to £60! Super overpriced, food average, won’t be returning.

Fantastic service and great food and menu choice. Very authentic. It’s a must in harrogate and head and shoulders above the other Thai and Chinese in harrogate. We’ll be back!

We have enjoyed this place ever since it opened. Changed owners, same good food. We dined off the Tapas side - excellent food, beautifully served. Look at my other reviews - I do not blow smoke !! This is a good venue - well worth a visit.

Dreadful .. we visited with high expectations after visiting the restaurant before it changed hands the food previously was exceptional sadly not anymore many of the small plates we ordered had clearly come straight from the freezer to the deep fat fryer the food was bland and tasteless we certainly won’t be visiting again as harrogate has too many other restaurants that are worth a visit.

After this place was bought out by the small chain of Phranakhon, we were worried it might lose some of its appeal and individuality, but it was consistently great food across the board, however I would suggest that the menu could be reduced significantly (I appreciate it is Tapas, but I still think this) without losing any appeal – there was an almost overwhelming choice and it was difficult to make choices!

We visited early one week day evening having eaten here previously before the change of name and it becoming more a small plate selection we were sure we would still enjoy the experience, unfortunately it was not the case we were the only couple for the majority of the time we were there we know why now . The food was bland and we suspected some of the dishes were straight from the freezer very disappointing and expensive we won’t be rushing back when harrogate has so many other wonderful places to eat.

Incredible food. You wont be disappointed. We've tried nearly every dish and always been amazed by the taste, portions, quality and value for money

Had a really disappointing and bizarre meal at this Thai restaurant. The food was pretty bland, whichbis really unusual for a thai. The chicken in the massaman was not of good quality with lots of grissle and fatty bits. One of the dishes we ordered...

We’ve now finished our tour of Phranakhon restaurants in Yorkshire, and the Harrogate branch maintained their excellent standards. We arrived late on a Sunday afternoon and it was quiet, but it was filling up nicely by the time we left. We had 5 dishes +...

I went there with a couple of friends and got the lunch deal which is £13.50 for 2 tapas and rice. My main complaint would be the extremely stingy size of the rice. Rice is cheap for the restaurant to provide, and yet they only...

Visited with a group of friends on Thursday night, after reading great reviews. Was not disappointed. Staff were incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was warm and inviting and most importantly the food was great! Incredibly tasteful, diverse and fresh. You won't be disappointed!

Just delicious ! I always liked the restaurant in its previous guise and was excited to try it as Thai tapas. Literally the only negative was that it’s not a cheap meal option anymore (prob why they did it!) but the standard of food is...

Delicious food and great service but the place is chilly. The boss needs to sort out the heating. Fabulous choice of main courses but pudding choices a bit limited.

Had six dishes and rice for two. Each dish was different, well prepared and super tasty. Very friendly and quick service. A great way to try lots of different dishes.

We'd been to the York Thai Tapas restaurant so we were delighted that Phranakhon had opened one in Harrogate and I'm pleased to say the quality of the food is just as good and a great place to come for an early evening meal before...

Came across this place by accident but what a find! Excellent service and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this place if you love Thai food.

Hadn’t been here since it’s been Phranakron but had heard good things. Those things weren’t wrong. Food delicious, all staff were very attentive and helpful with recommendations. The food was sssoooooo tasty. Will be back for sure.

On my own for work. Had a delicious meal. Authentic Thai food. Felt very welcome and looked after by all the staff.

Never been into a Thai restaurant before so we asked for help to a lovely girl called Jola. She has been very attentive and helpful and she suggested to us lovely Thai dishes. We both were very happy and food was amazing. Thank you so...

This has been my fourth visit to this restaurant since it opened in June. The food is to die for, so tasty with lots of choice. Visited today and had the lunch special which was extremely good value at £13.50 for 2 dishes and rice....

We usually choose Chinese food over Thai but thought we'd give this place a go.Ordered a variety of dishes including,ribs,satay,duck rolls,crispy chicken and beef with garlic& black pepper. Each dish was perfectly cooked,flavoured and fresh! The only disappointment was the vermicelli noodles which were incredibly...

Fabulous food. We just happened across the restaurant and so glad we did. Thanks and don’t you think you should open in liverpool? 😉

We’ve been to this place previously under a different name - no where as good as before - rushed service - food not that good. 4 out of 10

Stopped by on a Saturday evening we had. not booked but the nice lady said go and get a drink (elsewhere no bar there) and we will see what we can do. Got back one cocktail from just up the road and 30 minutes late...

Such lovely flavoursome, fresh ingredients. The portion sizes were good. Just happened upon this place when passing through. Very impressed, very helpful and polite staff as well.

Short and simple, food was nice just far too big the menu, and the portions are not worth the money. Place was nice. Wouldn't return unless portions got bigger.

This was our 2nd visit, having been to the one in York and Leeds. The food was delicious and I have to say much nicer than other local Thai restaurants. 1st visit was a selection of dishes from the main menu and today was the...

After visiting this restaurant in Leeds and being very impressed I was looking forward to visiting in Harrogate but was let down. Both ambience and food was a far cry from the Leeds site and felt inauthentic. Unfortunately we won’t be rushing back.

This is one of best Thai/Chinese meals I have ever had in Harrogate and the service was amazing too. Loved that it was tapas style so we could try various tastes and dishes. we had 6 dishes between 2 of us (partner usually eats massive...
