Sangthai in York

We had a lovely meal. Sharing a starter platter, then a variety of mains..curry, noodles, rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and was very tasty. Thank you x

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff! I had the vegetarian yellow curry and it was absolutely devine! Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice meal out x

Being a customer of Sangthai for a long time now and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. The best Thai food in the York area.

All I can say is the yorvale Icecream was nice but that's where it ends. If you like paying top price for Iceland quality starters, and main courses that bare no resemblance to the original Thai dishes then this is the place for you. Thai food should be fresh vibrant sweet salty sour not the gloopy sickly poor quality offered here. This was hands down the worst meal I've had as Nd people should avoid this place. Hygiene rating 5 food rating ZERO.

This is a real find in North Yorkshire outside Selby in the town of Escrick on the road to York. Great welcome, friendly and relaxed service and quality Thai food. In contrast to some reviews here we were impressed at all levels – the food, ambiance, and generous portions. We had the Talay Gata (a mixed seafood dish of tiger prawns, fish, green-lip mussels and squid all stir-fried with sweet peppers and onions) and the Pla Sahm Rot Three-flavoured fish (fried whole sea bass in a sweet, sour and spicy sauce flavoured with tamarind, pickled garlic, shallots and large chillies). The food was very fresh with spices and flavours perfectly combined. We would go more often as the price was also very good (£62.50).

Amazing food. Highly recommend. Great staff. It's definitely worth a visit!

After passing the place for years and always talking about trying we finally did last night, food and service were excellent, we were already planning our next visit whilst eating our mains! They were very busy but kindly squeezed us in, was very cheap for the quality, can't wait to go back!

Enjoyable evening meal served by frindley staff.

Fantastic Thai Food - what more is there to say? Set Menu options are great and service is efficient and polite. Highly Recommended!

A pleasant surprise a real hidden gem food was excellent

Superb location, great food, decent prices

Wir wollten eigentlich wi anderes essen, aber sind dann hier gelandet. Wir fanden es sehr lecker und waren super zufrieden.

Ordered takeaway. Very tasty Thai food, not too sweet or sickly like some places can be. Pad Thai was tasty, and the duck was very nice. Would recommend.

Ok food was ok overall but very average was quite expensive for what we had , 1 diner did not enjoy it but the rest thought it was ok, waitress was a bit inefficient

Outstanding food, and good service.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Excellent Thai food. Good vegetarian options. Lovely presentation. Nice decor and surroundings. Very reasonable prices.

It's sad to say that our take away last night was poor. We live locally. I run a food business so I'm always cautious as I understand how hard it is in hospitality. The food used to be amazing. Its not the quality it used to be. Very expensive and very small portion. We won't be returning customers sadly

I'm sad to have to write this review, however as someone who has visited here for over 15 years and having given them a fair few chances, sadly I have to. We paid nearly £40 for a meal for two. Ordering a starter for 2, we expected more than a couple of small pieces of chicken satay and some pathetic excuses for spring rolls. Usually you would get a selection of dips with this starter, however when I asked where they were I was told there are only two. When I got home and opened the pots, there was hardly any sauces in them, certainly not enough for two people. The portions of the main courses and insultingly small for the cost. The food quality has also deteriorated over the last few visits. The only good thing about the small portion size was the fact that we didn't get to eat more of the tasteless food. I am unsure as to whether it has changed hands recently, I know the business was up for sale, they closed over January for refurbishment and I did ask if it had new owners and was told it wasn't, so I'm unsure whether that has been the issue or not Very sad really, we won't be returning I understand that restaurants are all struggling to survive at this time, however if this is how you cost save then I really think you need to change your business plan guys.

Really tasty Thai food and not too expensive. Portion size is not huge so if you’re hungry make sure you order enough. Great quality and friendly staff. I will 100% be returning and would recommend for anyone wanting a Thai meal

Eaten here loads in the past. The food has always been excellent. The last time we went. We were just passing so popped in without pre booking. The place was empty and they accommodated us. Which I thought was great, the service was slow, with new staff who didn't seem to know how to take orders. (I had to prompt the lady as to how I wanted my steak cooked) otherwise I wouldn't have been asked. I would have happily found somewhere else had they not had room. Once we had eaten I paid and left. Upon getting home. I checked the bill and noticed a service charge had been added to the bill. (Never had this before here). Considering it was only two of us eating.i thought this was a bit unusual and cheeky just to add it. I do tip but only when the service justified it. Unfortunately you just lost a loyal customer.

Only had a takeaway as we are staying in the local area. Portions were small for price, however food flavour was very nice. MAIN Isssue, every dish we opened apart from rice had multiple long hairs. Rice, prawns crackers were fine but the 3 main dishes were very off putting when your pulling long hairs off your serving spoon.

The best Thai food ever. The takeaway service is fantastic. The only wish is that the takeaway tubs were recyclable/compostable, as I'd happily pay a little bit extra for those.

I’ve been using this restaurant for some years for take away and generally very good but recently the portions are getting less and less. The amount of vegetables in the curries seems to be reduced each time I get a curry. One piece of cauliflower and a couple of bits of red pepper are not enough. Please go back to your usual levels of ingredients otherwise no point getting a take out.

Worst Thai food ever had. Everything is too sweet and small portions made this meal so bad and expensive ! Definitely not recommend.

Our first visit whilst staying in the area. We had an amazing meal. Food was excellent, staff were great and great value for money!

Absolutely beautiful meal. One of the nicest meals I have ever eaten amd I am 56! 4 of us all had something different and each one was absolutely delicious and very different. Staff were all friendly and efficient. We also had a couple of cocktails which were lovely! Prices are also good. We will definitely be going back again soon.

The tiger prawns starter with sweet chilli sauce is very good. My wife had the sizzling Duck with rice which was very tender. The French coffee and normal coffee were good and hot. This has been tepid at other restaurants.

Superb. Lovely small restaurant, friendly staff, and great food. I’ve had many Thai dinners in various cities around Britain and abroad and I did not expect a little restaurant in Yorkshire to be better than almost all of them. Recommend anyone to eat here.

We were a family of four with a young child and were seated in a back room with plastic tablecloths and plastic chairs It was only 5pm Food portions were the smallest we've ever had and did not merit the prices charged All topped off with a 10 % service charge Won't be returning

Food is ok, not mindblowingly delicious (maybe soups are a bit below the expectations) but ok. But it's very scarce volume and very overpriced. We got set menu for £22.95 per person (plus 10% service charge on top) for 4 of us, and for starters got 1 small chicken skewer, 1 tiny fishcake (size of jaffa cake biscuit), 1 spring roll and about a tea spoon of salad. For main it was 2 sharing plates with beef and [overcooked, therefore rather hard] prawns, which was frankly not enough for 4 adults, masaaman curry and rice. The service was nice, and the lady serving us was lovely - but It was very disappointing experience. Just to mention, Ivy's charges £23.95 for 3, not 2 course set menu, being in totally different league both food and atmosphere wise. I like Thai food, and happy to pay extra for it - but next time will go to Zaap for authentic and satisfying meal.

A good restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner. Reasonable prices and flavoursome meals. The coconut soup was spicy and fresh. All dishes were good but I wouldn’t say we were blown away or it was exceptional. Definitely one of the nice Thai places. Customer service was good too.

Great food, but they slap a 10% service charge on the bill without telling you, even when there's only 3 of you, and you've spent over £100....why? especially as the service wasn't very pleasant at the beginning of our meal, telling us we couldn't have cocktail drinks because they were too busy!!!!!!

Incredible Thai food, by far the best i've had, lovely people with a great setting.

Wonderful meal and nice atmosphere.

Very welcoming, lovely setting, food amazing, so much so we ordered our mains twice. Definitely recommend and will be visiting again. Thank you.

Fantastic place. Very reasonably priced. I have tried most of the menu now as we eat here regularly and it never disappoints. The service is genuinely good. The house beer is from the bottle, but at least it is a 500ml bottle and normally Hobgoblin or spitfire which I don't mind. Most of the other selection are smaller 330ml bottles. I have eaten here 20+ times. Hence the 5 stars

It was my first visit to this restaurant, and I was certainly not disappointed! Their menu covers all favourites, my choice being Phed Pat Nam Prik Pow, which was outstanding! Will definitely be back!

This was our first time at Sangthai and it won't be our last. Food was so delicious 😋. The staff were all lovely, great atmosphere. It was truly amazing 👏 The price was great too :-)

Had a lovely meal here. The yellow curry and sticky rice were fantastic. The mixed starter was great. Reasonably priced.

Lovely restaurant, went for a meal with work, had the set menu, really good selection. Really nice food.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant - lovely peaceful location, utterly delicious food. Catered well for gluten free and vegan diets. Would definitely recommend.

We love Thai food, but this was excellent

What a little gem of a place. Food and service was excellent.

I had dinner at this restaurant. The food was well presented and delicious. The room was clean and decorated beautifully. The staff were polite, attentive, and kind. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, it was a shame they didn't have some staples like the som tam (want available that day) and would love to see sticky mango rice.

This restaurant was recommended to us and we are so pleased it was - we hadn’t booked and although the restaurant looked busy this didn’t seem to be a problem an we were seated within 2 mins of entering the restaurant- our drinks order was taken an we were left to browse the menu - we started off with starters of ribs an chicken skewers which were absolutely delicious- we then ordered the sizzling duck - and the chicken with peppers - rice an noodles - I’m not really a duck fan unless it’s crispy with a pancake but oh my this was absolutely delicious cooked to perfection an sooo good as was the chicken dish - the rice came in a little wicker basket which I thought was quite quirky it was the best Thai rice I’ve had an we’ve been to Thailand - the noodles were good to an not sticky an stodgy like I’ve had in other places - it was really lovely and we will definitely be going back real soon :)

The food was amazing and the service too. Best Thai resto ever

We visited last Sunday for my first Thai restaurant experience. The restaurant was very quiet but the service was great and the starters, mains and desert we had were excellent. A good selection on the menu. We will certainly be returning.

Great food great service and a great price. We had a Vegetarian set menu for 2. £32 takeaway price and there were tones of food. 6 or 7 plastic tubs of various delicious food. Epic!

Visited here many times over the years and always found it lovely. We visited again last night and sadly it wasn’t as nice. The food was tasty but the whole restaurant was freezing!! I don’t think any heating was on at all… it was a very unpleasant evening spent eating food in a very very cold environment. My advice is to either wrap up very very warm! Or only visit whwn it’s summer months. We will not be returning here, after travelling 1hr 20mins to get there to spend the whole evening shivering we couldn’t wait to get back to our car! Sorry, it was a beautiful place but now for ya has lost its touch.

Amazing food, great service, would definitely recommend to any thai food lover

The food is really good here and it is the second visit we have made to this restaurant. The tables are well spaced and it is a pleasant place to enjoy some fine Tia food. We have only been in December and both times it was a little chilly (both times being minus degrees outside), but we prefer this to being too hot. If stopping at the Parsonage Hotel it is only a 5 minute walk and a must try place to go to.

Visited last week and enjoyed lovely meal. Staff very polite, food very tasty and reasonably priced. Menu varied. Parking a little difficult with a big car!

Great place to go and eat. Delicious food, portions very good. Staff helpful and polite. Would definitely recommend a visit.

OMG the food is amazing we stayed in the parsonage hotel next door and decided to walk to this restaurant the food was amazing and the staff very friendly and polite just wish we had this restaurant on the Wirral

Excellent meal and really good staff.

Hubby and I had been shopping in York and decided to call in Sangthai for something to eat on our return home. We had seen the roadside sign for many years when we had driven past and were so pleased we finally went there to eat. We did encounter a bit of a problem finding the restaurant and car park. When we turned in where the sign was we went down a small gravel path which seemed to take us to residential buildings. It was only on further inspection that the restaurant was found after driving through a very narrow brick pillared entrance. The car park was large however, the brick walled entrance very narrow so be careful if in a large vehicle. The restaurant was quite busy and had a lovely atmosphere to it. We were served by a smartly dressed, friendly and courteous young man. Menus were given and he talked us through many of the dishes on offer. Starters were had of spring rolls and soup, plenty of spring rolls were given enough for two people never mind just one! Two different stir fry dishes with noodles was had as the main course. Both dishes were extremely tasty and delicious and pleased to say we were brought warm plates to serve them on. Our table was numerously visited by the gentleman who served us and also a lady, each time making sure everything was too our liking and if there was anything else we wanted. When leaving and paying the bill we were shocked to see how cheap it was for all the dishes and drinks we had. Nice to be wished a safe journey home on our departure. We are delighted with the food and experience we had at Sangthai and look forward to a return visit in the near future. We would also highly recommend anyone going here for something to eat.

Decent value, including beers we came out at 30 each. The food was good, with he shrimp fried rice being the favorite. We didn’t have any curry but may give that a go next time. While everything tasted fine, the main portions (tofu, squid, etc) are quite small and, and the dishes are dominated by onions, peppers, and other mixins. The fish was not great quality, but the prices are low

Very attentive, helpful with the dishes. The food was amazing, great flavours. Two courses with drinks for a little under £50. Excellent value !!!

Strange entry to what looked like a private house. Completely empty apart from us at 7pm on aThursday. Nice staff and lovely food

Good food always! Just the guy on the phone is a bit of a nit picker and so is annoying, when asking for a slightly different option with a dish ie asking for beef to be added he makes you feel like you're asking for the moon!. I'm sure the owner wouldn't appreciate it.

Very fresh, tasty dishes. Friendly service in cosy surroundings. A five minute walk from our hotel. Food was reasonably priced, drinks pushed the total bill up as us often the case.

Food was really great and the staff very friendly, but one couldn't be in a hurry as the service was extremely slow.

Wow what can I say about the food in here me and my partner travel around the country quite frequently and this by far was the best meal weve had all over, the service was great the ambience was superb 10 out of 10 for everything

The chicken fried rice I had was the best I've ever eaten. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Pad Thai Service was slow they seemed short staffed but they compensated with free crackers.

Think I caught the front desk staff on a bad day as they weren't particularly friendly but the food made up for it.

What's a lovely family business Lovely place to eat services fantastic the food is out of this world The price is very good

Brilliant Thai takeaway on our door step from our site. As owners we are regular visitors for a takeaway and recommend for our guests that are visiting. Always hear positive reviews and is in a great location.

First visit to this restaurant but we sadly won’t be returning. Our table was booked for 7pm on a Saturday night but there was only 1 other table of 3 guests in the restaurant. The whole place is in dire need of a revamp/paint job...

Good food as always but the place need a good clean, painting and refurb, menu's were sticky and dogeared.

It was good food, but the time between serving the starter and main was far too long, and they didn't seem to be fully occupied

Delicious food in a tranquil atmosphere and lovely setting at the edge of Escrick

Good food, fair pricing, a pleasant ambience

Small, tucked away restaurant, food very nice and staff very helpful.

Food was superb tasted just like the dishes we had when we visited Thailand. Great presentation and food was piping hot would definitely recommend

Excellent takeaway. Excellent location, we were staying for the weekend in Riccall & so it was a short drive to collect a takeaway after travelling for the afternoon. Service was prompt, the food was hot & very tasty. Penang curry was delicious, it’s something I...

Superb food, another excellent Thai restaurant for York. We’ll definitely come back in the future, I had the duck with Garlic and white pepper which was really tasty.

I would avoid. Chicken tasted stale

Amazing food, good value for money, friendly service. Well worth a visit

Just had a family meal here today on the 23/4/22. Food was absolutely amazing, never had Thai food before and I'm definitely a fan! I ate a yellow curry with king prawns and coconut rice for my main meal and it was delicious, very filling but didn't leave me feeling bloated. The food arrived quickly and the staff were constantly checking on us, to make sure we were doing okay. This is really appreciated, as it made us feel welcome and that the staff were looking after us! 🙂 There is also a lovely dessert menu, with some tasty puddings. I would recommend the deep fried ice cream! It was all topped off with a nice cup of coffee. All in all, a great dining experience with lovely food and staff. Will definitely be returning. Thank you everyone! 😁

Fabulous food, delicious and tasty Staff couldn't do enough for you . We had the set meal for 2 , would have definitely fed 3 people. Extremely good value for money with no loss of attention to detail. Definitely will return

So, started poorly...ignored for first few minutes whilst man on the reception joked with a takeaway client....starters poor, main course good, overall pretty average. We have been a few times, sadly not again of which is a shame as local.

Good food and cost place to eat.

I took my friend to supper and boy did we enjoy it. Her favourite food has changed from sushi to Thai and who could blame her. I am going to take my sons and their families there in the next two weeks, as they cater...

Lovely, can't wait to go back and try the curry 😋

1st time at this restaurant. Food was lovely plenty of choices.. staff pleasant and helpful . Would recommend this place

Fab tasting authentic Thai in lovely setting, well worth the drive to find this gem of a place and you can book a massage to boot... 👍🏽👍🏽🙏

Never disappoints. Very spacious and safe too. Thankyou

Lovely food, very attentive staff, would recommend.

Amazing food!!! Highly recommended. Small place but food is high quality

Been here lots of times. Asked for a 7.30 table but told 8pm which we said ok. Ordered pork toast and ribs. Unfortunately, having ordered the pork toast was told none left. Changed to spring rolls as an alternative. After 45 mins the starter arrived....

Great service and delicious food

What a gem! Great Thai food, really tasty and decent portion size. We had the mixed veg starter and it was belting. The Penang was the best I’ve had this side of Bangkok and the Pad Thai was authentic and delicious. Do not hesitate to...

It is our first ever restaurant visiting in Yorkshire. We were served by staff named "new" she has been so sweet and very friendly. We have been to few thai restaurant in London but the customer service here is very nice. It is very welcoming. New made sure we felt welcome and very sweet telling us of some of their menus and suggestions of some dishes. Not to forget mr Kong who was also very friendly and welcoming. Lovely restaurant and atmosphere, we highly recommend it. Thank you New! 😊

We found this restaurant on the way to York on our anniversary. I am happy we've tried it because it was one of the best thai meals we ever had! Definitely will be back soon

Ordered a take-out meal - food was very tasty and would definitely order from here again. The service was a little disappointing - we arrived on time to collect the order and were asked to take a seat and wait. We waited some time before...

Low key & private feel to dining. I was a bit unsure prior to going as the front of house was not drawing me in. We were staying next door and passed it on a couple of occasions. How wrong I was the food was...

I am a Coeliac and very careful what I eat. Waiter was helpful with G F choices and relayed the allergy to chef. Enjoyed the meal and no after effects thankfully.
