Phranakhon Thai Tapas in York

Second time visiting this restaurant and both times have been excellent. Wonderful selection, it’s not run of the mill Thai food. Will definitely visit again on our next trip to York.

We have been coming here for years now and the food is delicious. We were craving a Thai fix after coming back from our holiday , and it was just outstanding 🙏🏼 Thank you so much , we shall see you soon

We called in for lunch and had a selection of dishes between us. Portions aren't huge, but perfect for splitting between tqo and trying a variety of things. Every dish we had was delicious. If we lived locally, i think we'd try to work our way through the menu as there was lots more we wanted to tey.

Love this place food always great very tasty great surroundings will keep returning Great Tom yum soup even broccoli side dish packed with flavour

Amazing food , just enough for two of us choosing 3 dishes each. Service was excellent. The door to the restaurant is tucked away in the alley way, so not in an obvious position. Decor was authentic, we had the table by the window upstairs which was nice .

I've been coming here for years, it's consistently fantastic, really great food, a bit cramped and the tables are close, but none-the-less a 5 start experience each visit and reasonably priced considering.

The food here is exceptional. A nice cosy atmosphere ideally located in York city centre. Unfortunately, the service we received on our last visit was poor. We were a group of 4 friends on Saturday night. We were given 1.5 hours for the table, but waited 20 mins for a drinks order to be taken on arrival. Throughout the sitting were constantly being rushed and told we didn’t have long left. Ordering was difficult due to the menu options not being numbered. Half of the food items we ordered didn’t arrive at the table, but then we were charged for them. The staff were hit and miss. All in all we left disappointed on the service front. It’s very competitive in York for food & drink establishments, service should be top notch. But the food and location in York is great.

lovely bijou Thai restaurant offering small plates of delicious authentic Thai food. Excellent service and great choice of dishes. Being small plates gave us the opportunity to try new dishes which didn't disappoint. Good value for money. Would definitely go back when we next visit York.

Honestly, after reading all the glowing reviews it would be fair to say that our experience was disappointing. The staff were friendly and the service was good but the food was not as tasty as we expected from the reviews. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong thing?

Best Thai I've had in years. lovely old building, good service, and delicious food. An extensive menu, with all the old favourites with a lot of other dishes mixed in.

Honestly can’t recommend this gorgeous restaurant any higher! Having travelled Thailand extensively, it’s often hard for food to measure up, but this absolutely blew our minds. Incredible food, lovely staff, & a stunning building & atmosphere to top it off, what is not to love! 😍

Booked the day before. We then had several phone calls on the day to confirm we were still planning on going. On arrival the first door was chained off with a customer looking to be squeezed in and partly outside. We were taken upstairs where another couple were eating, There were 2 other tables for 2. Also in this small room was a large group (possibly a hen party) very loud and having a good time. We asked to be sat at the empty table furthest away, but were told that someone had just arrived and requested that table. We were sat so close to the group that we had to shout to be heard and could barely hear our waitress. After seating us the waitress took our drinks orders and expected us to know straight away what we wanted to eat from a very large menu she had literally just given us. By this time the noise from the group was so loud we couldn't even discuss what we wanted to eat. We left. We are not blaming the group and hope they had a great time, but we never should have been crammed into such a small room with them.

Absolutely fantastic food, service just everything!!! Definitely one of the nicest meals we've had ever!!! Couldn't fault the presentation,the flavours were amazing!

Wife & I headed here on our trip to York. We ordered 6 tapas dishes and they were delicious. 2 of them (seabass and pork belly) were exceptionally good. Service was fantastic: attentive and friendly. This had been recommended to us by a friend and it was spot on. Really cool restaurant setting as well.

Booked in here for Saturday evening after never having heard or been here before and so glad we did. The menu is extensive with such great choice and very reasonably price considering its location. The staff were so accommodating from the moment we stepped foot...

First time dining at this restaurant as I’m not from the area but it did come highly recommended from friends. Small little restaurant with so much food to choose from! You want to order everything because it sounds so good. We really did order a lot and there was nothing we didn’t enjoy. Everything was cooked as it should be. The service was excellent. Very friendly and welcoming. I wish they had a more extensive drinks list maybe some flavoured gins or something but other than that still absolutely 5 stars!

We ordered ten dishes plus a couple of rices between four of us, and that felt about right. It's not somewhere you longer - the food arrives quickly. Enjoyed everything, particularly the curries and the Legendary pork belly.

After reading other reviews we thought we would give it a 'go' since my wife loves Thai food. Reception was good and we were seated quickly. We were advised that since we hadn't booked a table we would need to free table up for 8pm....

Food was amazing, full of flavour and variety/choices not just your basic standard Thai food, The restaurant is compact with small tables so be carful how much you order at once. Staff excellent aswell

Excellent restaurant, small, quaint, staff lovely, food packed with flavour. We had a variety of GF dishes, all superb. Staff attentive and knowledgeable re allergies. Would definitely recommend, book to avoid disappointment. 5 star experience.

We did enjoy our meal, a unplanned and unexpected destination just off the shambles. Not a big fan of the tapas craze that everywhere seems to be doing (full price/smaller plates) but do love good Thai and the meal delivered. It did feel a little...

Great food and terrific service. Really good location and very friendly atmosphere plus great veggie options.

Great location, delicious food, very friendly service and lovely old building. The tofu dishes were particularly delicious! Strongly recommended

We love eating small plates and this restaurant does this very well. We find about 6 dishes is just right. One dish we always have is the Som Tum Goong and the chilli kick here never fails to please. This dish feels closer to how...

Thai and tapas in 1! Perfect. You really need to visit this restaurant, the food is absolutely divine, belly pork, squid, curry everything is amazing and as for the broccoli omg! Everything arrives quickly and together. The building is adorable and perfect for those of...

Very small portions hardly any meat in the beef and lamb dish only 2 king prawns in the yellow curry such a shame been going for a few years but not worth the money now !!

Food portions have got smaller , they are expensive really anyway , very overpriced , and toilets where dirty. Won’t be going again , came away still hungry but didn’t want to pay for anymore dishes.

Have been here a few times since it opened and had found it really tasty - enjoyed it but seems like the portion sizes have got smaller, for £8.95 a dish it was overpriced for what we got. Spending over £90 we were still hungry.

We fancied a Thai and opted to try this place, as the reviews looked good. The restaurant itself is tiny but very cute, full of character and rather charming. One of the waiters helped us with the dishes on the menu, as we both wanted...

Absolutely fantastic food. It might be small venue but packs a big punch. A wide ranging menu of smaller plates ideal for sharing. Service is very attentive and food came quite quickly. If you like proper Thai food with taste and a bit of chilli...

Great food, great friendly service and reasonably priced. The food tastes amazing and as it is tapas you are able to try a great selection of dishes, all of which are amazingly authentic. Will definitely recommend

This is a nice little restaurant in a lovely old building, well located in York. Being a Tapas restaurant you are advised to order 2 or 3 dishes each plus sides (rice etc) to share. Three of us had 8 dishes between us to share....

Fantastic Thai tapas. The food was so fresh and full of flavour. In a really quaint old building just off The Shambles. Would highly recommend here. The staff were also willing to help select if you were unsure. Would definitely return

Wonderful date night for two, tight knit cosy venue. Unassumingly tucked away in the centre of York, a variety of meat, fish and vegetable dishes and while portions can be on the smaller side, the quality of none disappoint. Although a note of advice, do...

Has to be some of the nicest Thai food I’ve ever had. Tapas/sharing plates with a number of dishes I’ve not come access before. Quirky interior which is nice. Very friendly service.

Such good food. A tiny restaurant down a back street. Don’t turn up hoping to get a table as it gets very busy and the place is quite small. Service was prompt and very friendly. Portions are a good size given that they are tapas....

We travel 2 hours just to come to this Thai restaurant……if that doesn’t say how good it is I don’t know what does. Forever consistent with the standard of the food which is always the nicest Thai food. The staff are always nothing but polite...

Sublime thai food, great hosting and atmosphere in the restaurant. Ordered 2 dishes each, 1 rice and prawn crackers and they prepared us a free dish extra.

Stumbled across this little gem whilst away in York for long weekend. We walked past one evening and noted the name to return the following day for lunch. It wasn’t busy at 12pm when we arrived, but that didn’t deter us. Amazing, authentic thai food....

Excellent service really tasty food the menu is big and loads to chose from The only problem they all came at once and the tables are only small for four people but we managed. Quaint little place good service good food and reasonably priced what...

Can't even class this as Thai food. Everything came cold, chicken, prawns and squid looked like it had all been pre heated. The beef also came cold, when I told the waitress she was very apologetic and offered to reheat but we jokingly said you...

Phranakhon does some of the nicest Thai food I've ever had, and it's a bonus that this is Tapas giving the opportunity to try loads of different flavours! I have been to some of their other restaurants, and I found the food to be the...

Managed to get squeezed in here without a booking on a busy Saturday afternoon. Small quirky restaurant that you enter through the bar area (actually behind the bar!) Great service and choice. Food came in a timely fashion and was all really tasty. Would definitely...

Managed to get a booking for 8.30 the same evening. Arrived early and were seated. The setting is very wet in a narrow old York building. The food was utterly delicious and full of flavour. Service was prompt and friendly and despite the quality of...

Really enjoyed our new tears eve visit . Vest tom yum soup ever , lovely food , quaint venue will Deffo be back

The building was typical Thai but upstairs was full of beer boxes (like a store room) We ordered 6 tapas and a bottle of wine. There was no pork on the menu so we chose jumbo prawns and crispy won tons etc. We could not...

Food was stunning, came out quick and the restaurant itself is a beautiful building. It was a little bit expensive for what you get, but worth going for something special

Loved this small, friendly Thai restaurant. Great choice of tapas on menu. Hard to choose between so many lovely dishes. Crispy pork belly a favourite. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Everything about this restaurant is absolutely incredible and I can’t wait to return again. It’s absolutely tiny so I lovely, intimate venue with a handful of tables. You get your table for 90 mins, which is plenty of time to get all of your dishes...

After visiting before and had a fantastic meal, we made another booking for November 19th as we was visiting York again. Wow what a difference, prices gone up and portions very small ,also food came cold. Will not return now ,one of the worse meals...

This was the first time we visited and we will definitely be back. The food was amazing and was honestly one of the nicest meals I have ever had. The crispy seabass was absolutely delicious and I loved the crispy beef and also the broccoli,...

Absolutely fantastic. I've not been to the restaurant since before lockdown. It was fantastic then and still is. Will be back as soon as possible.

Their Leeds branch is our favourite restaurant, so we thought we’d call in on a day out in York. First plus point was not having to go down into the basement. We arrived around 4.30 on a Saturday and managed to grab a table before...

For me the best Thai Restaurant in York , we have been 3 times and the food and service were amazing , we love this place .

Where do i start. 5 years ago i tried this resturant with my hubby,we loved it soo much. So went again with a good friend from australia on wed night,woww it lived up tp my expectations and above. Had the squid,geezo,it was so tender and...

Changed menu, less dishes on the menu, prices gone up but portions got smaller also not as tasty as before, very disappointed 😔

This is the most fantastic little restaurant,food amazing, waiting team where very attentive.we ordered of the lunch menu and ordered 1 of everything and not one was disappointing. Can't wait to go again

Visited York back in May and stopped here for an evening meal. Make sure you book as it's very busy every night (and you will understand why!) We tried a variety of dishes, I think we got 6/7 small plates between 2 which was plenty,...

Outstanding food and service. The restaurant itself is very cozy. If your in York you need to eat here. Thank you very much to all the staff for a wonderful evening.

Amazing food and lovely service. We visited for lunch and had the two Thai tapas and rice special. Beautiful, flavoursome and spicy. Lovely old building which is tastefully decorated. The staff were so welcoming. Crispy sea bass was divine and the crispy chilli beef also...

Service was friendly and prompt. Atmosphere was quiet, not loud. The food was tasty and good. to be honest, it was an average restaurant. When I booked I had to pay a deposit which was fine but, I had no receipt for it as i...

My wife and I have been in York a few days and had pre-booked here after deliberating reviews of all the city’s Thai restaurants. We didn’t regret it. Firstly, definitely book. It’s a small place, but certainly welcoming in abundance, much like it’s fantastic staff....

Stumbled across this lovely little restaurant as we were wondering around York looking for somewhere to eat. Didn’t have a reservation but managed to squeeze us in. It was a good choice,really fresh,hot and tasty dishes. Ordered 6 between 2 of us and it was...

Superb food,superb service,the staff were so helpful in advising what to order,lovely atmosphere in the restaurant..will definitely return

Top Thai. Top welcome from friendly and accommodating front of house. Top service (knowledgable and engaging) throughout. Top wine (the Gewurztraminer was fab and reasonably priced). Top quality Thai food - our favs were the prawns in garlic and the pad thai. Just a top...

We called in on the off chance and were lucky to get a table, I would highly recommend booking as they are busy and the building is small. We ordered a selection of dishes between two of us and we devoured every last scrap. The...

Went with my wife and had a lovely meal. Really amazing food and funny, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Thai food in York is fantastic with many great restaurants, however Phranakhon sits at the top as not only one of the best Thai restaurants but also in all of York. Service is excellent and the decor is beautiful. Make sure to book a reservation.

Good food, good service. The menu has some gluten free & dairy free options. I had dinner at the restaurant in July, on a hot day, but was lucky to get a table by a window. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't have air conditioning.

Really nice food and love the sharing aspect. We came away from the restaurant very happy and the staff were very friendly

Great start to our trip to York. We are all celebrating a big birthday this year and thoroughly enjoyed our first meal here. Great way to sample lots of different dishes. Fantastic for vegetarian.Only slight downside is it is very cramped upstairs. Personally I felt...

Great food but absolutely diabolical service did not get what we ordered and was not advised of unavailable dishes or offered any alternative at time of order which led to waiting over one hour to be served ! I live in York and ate in...

We called here following a recommendation from a friend. It was A-MA-ZING. The food was excellent and service exceptional. It was so nice to be able to try smaller portions of dishes that you may not risk eating if you were to have a full...

One of the best Thai restaurant in Yorkshire. Food were super delicious, really good service and friendly staff, definitely recommend.

My husband and I really fancied some Thai food after trekking around the cobbles , we ordered 3 dishes each, as recommended, 2 of mine were stone cold and had to be sent back, the crispy beef was like twigs, I’m not even sure there...

I have walked by this place so many times and never noticed it was there! We had friends visiting for the weekend and they asked for a Thai restaurant, after a little Googling I found this place and it did not disappoint. Staff were wonderful...

Amazing food and staff were very welcoming and friendly. We ordered 6 plates and loved every one of them. Will definitely come again when we're next in York 🙂

Stunning food, lovely friendly staff. Lots of options on the menu. Really enjoyed our first Thai meal. Will be back again.

We tried this restaurant on a trip to York. Sensational Thai food served in the tapas style. A wide choice on the menu and everything we had was delicious. We returned 2 days later and it was just as good. Friendly, fast service and help...

Found this by accident. It has a very Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and the most amazing food. would highly recommend

Been here many times over the past few years when visiting our daughter at the university... always brilliant fresh tasty home made authentic Thai dishes, in fact the best Thai food I've had in the UK... always book... the place is tiny... yep service can...

Enjoyed lunch here today, we were fortunate to get the last available table and were served promptly. We ordered 5 dishes between 2 and all of them were really tasty, authentic thai dishes with fresh ingredients. This is a really nice way to enjoy a...

Locale piccolo ma carino ed accogliente, lo staff molto cordiale. Abbiamo preso la tartarre, gli spaghetti fritti ed un piatto...

We went here for a birthday meal for my dad. We really can’t complain about the food, it was absolutely delicious. It was basic customer service that was absent. The food took over an hour to come, we were never updated and there was no...

Came here for lunch on Saturday with my teenage daughters. Food was absolutely amazing. It is a little cramped. We were seated downstairs and there was a table of 6 guys sat next to us who were very loud this was the only thing that...

My wife and I were wandering past and noticed this cute, tiny restaurant. We were lucky to get a lunchtime table. We were greeted with a friendly smile. We lived in Thailand for a number of years and this is the most authentic Thai food...

Went last night with friends and thoroughly enjoyed some really tasty authentic Thai food. Huge range of choices to choose from and really good value for money, we’ll definitely be back

My boyfriend and I were away for the weekend, and happened to walk past here and were lucky enough to get a table. The range and quality of the food is amazing. Had the Miang Pla which is seabass done in Thai spices. It was...

Had dinner here whilst staying in York. The range of tapas style food is amazing, and is matched by the quality - it was really good, and very tasty. We were spoilt for choice! Will definitely return whe next in York. Recommend booking as it's...

Great Place! We found the place randomly walking along the street and decided to give it a go. The food was so great and the atmosphere so unique that we came back one more time before leaving York. Absolutely recommended. A hidden Tai Gem in...

Met up with 7 friends to visit Phranakhon tapas. The menu is massive and I am so glad I had decided what to have before I got there. I shared with one of the group and we each ordered 3 dishes and a rice to...

I can't give this place lower than 4 stars because the food was some of the best I've ever eaten. It was absolutely beautiful, we cooked and came out fast. The service however, not so great! Our server Chloe was lovely and polite, really friendly...

Had an overall very nice meal for my wife’s birthday, most of the dishes we tried were excellent, particular favourites being the crispy shredded beef in Thai chilli and the crunchy chicken wings. The only negative was the salt & chilli squid which we had...

The food was absolutely incredible! Every single dish was fresh and really tasty. The service was great. We cannot wait to return.

The food was sensational, the service was great. I just wish we could stay in York for longer and work our way through the entire menu. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Food was amazing service however was awful. disrespectful and dismissive. i was uncomfortable eating there and felt i was being rushed.

Fantastic food, a great find. Loved it and want to go return soon. It’s a cosy place so not suitable for large parties but we’ll worth a visit, I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Turned up (not booked) for a late lunch at just before 2pm on Monday. We hadn't booked, but the group of ladies ahead of us had booked (for 2pm). We were all advised that the place was closing for an hour for a meeting. It...

A small restaurant with a big menu! They advise 2-3 dishes per person..we went 4-5 each and was just about enough (but we do love our Thai food!) The flavours are so authentic, and washed down by cold Singha beers!! Highly recommend!

A lovely little gem, we visited on a weekend stay in York, good reviews so thought we would try. No disappointment where the food was concerned, amazing, loads to choose from, we had 4 dishes each, which was the right size for us after a...
