Sukhothai Chapel Allerton in Leeds

I'm so sorry, but I am having knock off a few stars has we had to ask for a couple of the mains.rice & noodles sides twice

The food was delicious, but I asked for a jug of water after one Singha beer because I was driving, and it never arrived. I definitely objected to the "optional" 10% service charge because I thought optional means you actually get a choice!!! Overall, I felt I had been processed for profit extraction rather than treated as a valued customer. Such a shame.

Have visited Sukohotai a few times before. There was a mixup with the booking so nearly didn't get a table, after a wait a table was sorted. The service staff brought some prawn crackers which were complimentary, but did end up appearing on the bill. Presentation of dishes is very good, the Thai red curry was nice, and a good level of spice. Did wonder afterwards if I should have had the massaman curry instead. All the waiting staff were friendly and polite.

Loved the food and atmosphere! Pretty authentic feel, went twice on my recent trip to Leeds.

Delicious set menu, although pricey, and fast service, recommended!

Nice ambience and decor for diners. Vegan options available.upon request, would be nice to incorporate ithe choices in the menu. I would also mention that on the past 2 occasions we have felt rushed although a table had been booked for an allocated time slot. Dining out is a treat and having the time to catch up with friends and family should be a relaxing experience. Will visit again and hope time will be given to enjoy the experience.

We haven't been here for a number of years. Went last night for our wedding anniversary. Had a lovely meal. Thank you for such good food.

Excellent place for a family dinner 😄😄

Tasty and good food. There is special and the standard menu. The duck dishes are amazing and well put together, probably our favourite. The noodle dishes are also as fresh and nice. Overall the vegetables and proteins cooked perfectly. There is a buffet as well on certain days. The staff were great. Street parking available nearby.

All good, excellent Sunday buffet. Very attentive staff.

Aniket took great care of my family. Party of 4 to celebrate my birthday, fantastic all round!

Been coming a few times but this experience was disappointing to say the least.food was cold,platterleft a lot to be desired.overpriced for the quality of food.will not visit again

Amazing food and service as usual

Sukothai showcased an amazing display of not just some great mind blowing dishes but also heart warming hospitality. It was a very busy Saturday evening and we were a bunch of 6 who had mistaken a temporary booking request as confirmation. Instead of turning us out, the staff, specially a very sweet and a were very kind lady gave us a table. The food was so good and totally worth the embarrassment we caused ourselves. One of the best Thai restaurants outside Leeds city centre.

Amazing and great service! The food was fantastic - great selection of authentic Thai food to choose from! Will be back soon 🙌

Excellent food and service as always, despite the extra covers for Valentine’s Day. This place is nothing if not reliable.

The food was amazing! however, from the beginning we had problems with our server, she didn't know what any of the spirits were on the drinks menu so we pointed out which ones we wanted with whatever mixer we wanted (3 malibu and cokes and 2 vodka cokes). then proceeded to take our food order, she only asked one of us if he wanted rice and walked away without asking the rest of us, we ended up with only 2 small bowls of rice for a table of 5. by this point our drinks hadn't arrived even though we asked another 2 times if we could get our drinks, after we had finished our food the drinks had still not arrived. along with other things that we asked for i.e. another bowl of rice and some spoons, very disappointed as we've heard many good reviews on this restaurant.

Normally I'd give this place a 5 out of 5 stars, but my recent visit was a little disappointing. I had booked and had the proof on my phone, but was made to feel like they were doing me a favour fitting me on, so felt not as welcome as usual. The food is immaculate, but the only criticism I have is about the meat spring rolls: they are crisp and hot, but quite tasteless. I can only taste the vegetables, but no meat. It is like they are overfilled with cabbage, and if I wanted that would just eat veg spring rolls. They are not cheap, thus while I enjoy the crunch, I won't be ordering them again (shouldn't have to use the accompanying dipping sauce just to get some flavour to an expensive starter).

Lovely place with great atmosphere. Food was really mice. Highly recomend.

Stopped by for a takeout recently and the food was 👌 We went off Sukhothai a few years ago but it is definitely back on form.

As always, fantastic food and great atmosphere. 😁

Got a Pad Mamuang Himmaparn Pak (veggie), asked for it hot. Was hot, nice even spice distribution, on top of being a very nice curry.

Delicious food and great service

Had 2 starters and 2 mains, all were delicious, would say the panang curry was a bit too mild for me so maybe bit more spice and it would've been perfect :)

I've been coming here for a long time. Been a while since my last visit and don't think it is as good as it used to be. To pay just under £34 for a 3 person platter I thought the quality was disappointing and the fuge slice cake with ice cream for £6.50 fell below par for me. The main courses were great.

The most average Thai food I’ve eaten in my life but cost my friend and I 84 pounds….

Food was incredible, a must visit in the area

A great place for an authentic Thai food experience. The food was excellent and all washed down with a nice bottle of wine.

Lovelly service we had the chef was supper helpful ineeded more spicy food n he took my food and quickly fixed it.

Food not as good as it use to be, very tasteless

Had a takeaway, won't be having another.

Quite expensive, all things considered

We came here for our special occasion. It was very busy on Saturday evening. Very kind staff and great service. All the dishes that we ordered were fantastic and would love to come back again. It is little more expensive compared to the other Thai restaurants in city centre but worth coming here. A lots of drinks options too!!!

Great food and very good value for money, my favourite Thai restaurant

I enjoyed myself. The staff members were very friendly and welcoming

We love this place. We've been going for over 20 years and it never disappoints. The prices have gone so expensive now that it has become a place for special occasions only. We used to go to the Sunday buffet almost every week but that's no longer on unfortunately 😫 we find the Chapel Allerton one is always the best atmosphere and our long standing Pat is usually working here too so have to say hello to her 🥰

I love this place. Amazing food and service. They always have managed to find us a table without prebooking. They explain the menu dishes so well. It's clean and tasty.

Food not hot, too crowded, not good value for money. Do not recommend

Good food, but overcrowded with tables on the night we arrived which made it feel overheated and slightly claustrophobic. You can't park outside but have to search for a legal space within a few hundred yards.

Warm and atmospheric. Some lovely flavours. Dishes are well cooked and presented. Portions are modest. I think most dishes are slightly over priced given that the ingredients are themselves are not expensive and the portions not generous. Obviously very popular and well frequented nevertheless.

Wonderful food, wonderful restaurant, friendly polite staff. Awesome experience 👏

Bland food for the price, service pretty curt. I could have made a better pad thai.

Vraiment délicieux ! Nous nous sommes régalés avec mon conjoint. Le cadre est vraiment jolie, l'accueil est très soigné et les plats sont tout simplement fabuleux ! Encore merci

Food was average at best. Service clinical and its expensive.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch buffet with family. Lovely atmosphere, staff very helpful. Food delicious. 👍

Great food as always never disappointed 🤗

Miserable unfriendly staff, 2 running the front so under staffed, had they been a bit more attentive it would have been bearable. There's one particular sour faced small lady wearing green uniform, barely spoke but when she did she made minimal effort and almost looked down at us. Took a while to take our order, dishes were mediocre, even though we chose a few of the highlight dishes, cabbage barely chopped, large dirty leaves, not enough sauce to go with crispy chicken. Rice was crunchy. For somewhere you pay alot of money and then asked to pay service charge, the service was below average, and the food just okay. A smile from staff would make all the difference, or maybe an extra pair of hands.

Absolutely wonderful Tom Yum and Thai Green Curry. Service impeccable.

Amazing food, just the best Thai restaurant in leeds

Nice restaurant and very welcoming staff. Extremely loud and very cramped when busy. The restaurant has limited on street parking options. The food was nice but DO NOT order soup. Holy cow is this BAD. It is boiled water with a hint of salt and some bits of vegetables and tofu or something tasteless in it. It costs over £6 and is a tiny portion size. Firstly, this not soup - it's barely edible! Secondly, soup has a thick gravy like consistency - this was dishwater lightly salted with some vegetables - some of which tasted absolutly horrible. WTH - seriously. It tasted awful. It was absolutly horrendous! It took all evening to try and forget how bad the soup was. Never had something quite so gross. The rest of the food was better and enjoyable to eat but portion sizes are quite small and should be bigger. The staff are a complete asset to this restaurant - they are lovely. For example the employee refilling cups of water without a customer even having to ask and then cleaning tables for example was great. The staff are polite and very respectful. Keep it up! I won't be returning but have provided constrictive feedback that could help improve the customer experience. Just take the soup off the menu, I should have asked for a refund for that - it was REALLY bad.

Delicious food, and not smothered in coriander like some places do. Wish the dishes had a bit more sauce, like the weeping tiger, but the are very tasty nonetheless.

Staff attentive and service was good. Lovely interior so was expecting a really nice authentic Thai meal. We had the mixed starters and they were no better than you would get in a supermarket. The main meal came. Tofu bland and tasteless but lovely sauce and veg. I had lamb shank which I was expecting to be full of Thai flavours and really it was very fatty and has no seasoning but again lovely sauce. We left a bit disappointed. Probably wouldn’t bother going back. Nothing wrong as such but nothing wow either.

Service ok. Took a while to take our order even though it wasn’t that busy. Ordered massaman curry with tofu. I always order this dish in thai restaurants, but this was the worst one I have had, completely tasteless. My daughter ordered a dish she had eaten there a few weeks earlier and had really enjoyed it as it was made with chicken breast, this time it was thigh meat and not as nice. The mango and rice dessert was tasteless. Will not be returning. Mommy thai or zaap in Leeds is far better.

Amazing food and atmosphere, never had a bad meal been so many times. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere. From food there is not a very big choice, but all food there is fantastic.

I've eaten at Sukhothai many, many times and the food and service has always been excellent. I recently ordered a takeaway from the Chapel Allerton branch one Saturday night, and the time it took to arrive was better than they initially quoted me, which meant things started off great, and the service from the staff was great as always. I ordered the same starter and main course that I've eaten in the restaurant many times, and it's always been delicious. Unfortunately, these same dishes made as a takeaway were horrible! Both dishes tasted like a cheap take away meal, greasy and poorly presented. Given that the prices were the same as in the restaurant, I felt robbed, and it was incredibly poor value for money! It is a real shame to give such few stars, because as I said, when dining in, I've always found the food very delicious. Having said that, I don't think you should offer such an inconsistent service across your food delivery methods, and this poor experience ruined my evening meal. I will not order a takeaway from here again, and in future will stick to eating in the restaurant. 🤢

Good food but portion s were smaller than they used to be and of course more expensive too. Do not agree with "optional " service charge..... never pay it and don't leave any tip at all when this is done !

lovely food fresh and hot friendly staff well worth a visit

Really enjoyed the opening of the buffet after covid, ! Great food and staff, well run and organised

The only place I go for dinner or takeaway they know me well haha. Simply the best 🤪

Service was ok. Ordered the Thai red curry - the chicken was very undercooked so unfortunately, I don't think I can bring myself to return. THankfully, They didnt charge me for the undercooked dish & also offered to make me up a new dish which I declined.

Great food, lots of varieties and excellent service

Best Thai food in my opinion, great choices and service.

Lovely food and service as always

Was disappointed with our recent visit for the Sunday buffet. There were far too many people booked for our 2pm sitting, with some cutting the cue when there were already people waiting by the bar to take their alloted tables. It's not a big place and people were 2-3 deep snaking round tables best they could to be in line for the food, which sadly we didn't think was up to sukothai's usual standard. Didn't even get to order drinks as nobody even came to our table to ask if we wanted any, just water dropped at the table when we had almost finished. The branch in town is much better suited for the amount of covers for a Sunday buffet, which we had been to before it was cancelled and were more than happy. Sadly I can't recommend the Sunday buffet and will not be returning for this option.

Very very poor service, awful communication skills from the staff made the experience unbearable at some points. Our order was taken but then somehow never made it back to the kitchen! Eventually taken again after 40 minutes. Promised noodles and rice for free because of the incompetence however as expected they appeared on the bill along with a 10% service charge! Couldn’t be bothered to argue so just paid and left, food was really nice however but very expensive for what it is. Unlikely to be going back…

Went 6th May 2022 for a meal with my partner. Service was poor, we had to keep calling waitress over and asking for our meals, we ordered set menu A so was a mix of starters and mains. First part of service was great, brought the drinks quickly and the first starters and then it was like we were forgotten about. We had to ask them to clear the table and then ask them for our mains to be brought out. After the mains they cleared the table and left us 15 minutes we had to call them over and ask them for dessert which it then took half an hour to bring out ice cream. We had to ask them for refills of drinks, we weren't asked how the meal was or if we needed anything during our time there. Food was okay but nothing good enough to recommend to anyone or for us to visit again. It was as if there was just no service at all. Between work and children we don't get very often to go out for a meal so we were really looking forward to this unfortunate it was a huge let down. It is a lovely clean unique little restaurant and could be a lovely place.

Excellent service and food, will always recommend

Sukhothai is a great place to take the family for a nice meal. The presentation is lovely and it has great ambience.

Booked a table at Sukhothai, Chapel Allerton for a birthday celebration. It was perfect! Food was superb, staff attentive and polite. Couldn't have been any better - thoroughly recommend it 👍

The food is beautiful and tastes incredible. Absolutely recommend. The cost is good and the portion size is great. There are plenty of staff If you need anything and the service was excellent.

Lovely dumplings and king prawn mains. Free wine for mothering Sunday.

Food is nice but rather expensive for the portion sizes. Staff are lovely and very helpful.

Delicious food, very good service, lovely environment. Highly recommended

Delicious with professional staff

visited on a friday evening with no reservation, they kindly found us a table, was asked if we had allergies upon arrival and we stated milk and egg allergies, waitresses were kind and friendly and after ordering, they promptly came back to tell us what we ordered was not suitable because of allergies, they offered alternative options and we waited a short time for our food, the starter was delicious crispy vegetables and after we finished our plates were taken and we waited another short while for the mains, main courses were delicious and there were plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, we were very pleased and would love to visit again!

Restaurant was busy but that said staff were friendly and we were well catered. Food was delicious (particularly the pork belly) . Would definetly go again.

Wonderful food and service to mark a joyous occasion of an 80th birthday celebration. This restaurant had the right kind of ambience epitomises love for family and community in Chapel Allerton.

An established and competent local chain. The food is well executed but feels dumbed down for the western palate. Expect efficiency not fireworks.

Okay but nothing special. Sweetcorn cakes were pureed. Main yellow curry was nothing like a yellow curry and no meat. Dessert was good but not homemade. Nice drinks. In all, exspensive for what it was.

Lovely food and superb service as usual

Always amazing food and great service!

Terrific Thai, super service. A little more pricey than the other local restaurants in Chapel Allerton, but worth the difference. Recommended.

Excellent food and friendly service

Great food, always delicious. Staff are so welcoming & friendly

Ordered the set menu at £29 which came out fine , when the mains came out one of the dishes was clap cold so I called a staff member over and told him , he didn’t even speak to me & just swiped it off the table and returned moments later with a slightly warmer version of the last dish 😩 . No apology or anything . Non of the staff were very friendly as all . Finally the bill came £78.10 for 2 people with 2 glasses of wine . We noticed at the bottom of the bill was previously added service charge of £7.80!!!!! We didn’t get a service so my husband asked them to remove it . We thought it was cheeky of them to sneakily add it anyway ( we’re not in America you know ) . I used to rave about this place but the standards have dropped in my eyes . Where’s the customer service gone here ??

Food was beautiful abs the staff are very good! A-bit on the expensive side for food price but it’s worth it if your wanting to try some beautiful Thai cuisine

Delicious food, very good service. Highly recommended.

The food is very subtle and the service was excellent but the drinks were very expensive

Great service, fantastic food, could do with more parking facilities but on a whole it was delicious!!

Great place , food excellent, waiters and waitresses are very attentive , just a joy to eat here.

Can I just say this evening was my first takeaway for such a long time. I ordered Sukhothais' new dish called Papaya Fried Salad (V7) as a starter, it was recommended to me by a member of staff over the telephone. When I went to collect it she told me to pour the sauce over the salad when I get home. I followed her instructions. Oh my goodness it tasted so nice, the zesty, spicy sauce over the crispy papaya fried salad was out of this world. I definitely recommend!!! My main dish was tasty too, Thai Green Curry with Coconut rice...Sukhothai seems to do the tastest Green Curry, no other place compares. Thank you again guys. Can't wait to order again.

Fantastic food, wonderful service and very acceptable prices. What more could you want? I will definitely go again and recommend it to others!

Always friendly staff and a fantastic meal.. I would highly recommend a visit.. Just perfect.!!

Great tasting authentic food. Highly recommend visiting and tasting the great food on offer

Delicious food and lovely service. Very attentive staff. The dumplings and soft shell crab were deliciois to start with. The yellow curry was light yet delicately flavoured. The mango sticky rice was a perfect end to the evening.

Fantastic birthday meal with the family 5star

Fantastic service. Very welcoming. The meal was outstanding.

This has to be most definitely one of the most delightful and authentic restaurants in Leeds the company has been going for a long time and it is fantastic that they have grown and grown across the city with various brands but this is one of the original venues and it still has the family feel as do all their venues. I’m always delighted that they still are here after all that has happened with Covid. It’s not a budget restaurant however although the buffet is fantastic value for money. Quite exceptional and always delicious

Excellent. Food was brilliant. Atmosphere lovely and chilled. Service impeccable and all 6 meals top quality. Would highly reccomend.
