Tah Tien in York

A hidden gem. Delicious food and impeccable service. Can’t wait to go back.

Really nice food, brilliant service and a really calm atmosphere

Absolutely delish and execellent - Aloy!

Lovely food. Decent prices. What more can you ask for

Overpriced. £9.50 for 2 small duck spring rolls (cut in half to look bigger). Main was way too salty. No pad see ew on menu which is strange for a "street food" place

Lovely food, friendly staff! Definitely come back.

Authentic thai food! Very delicious

Amazing food and service. Had a variety of dishes and eveeything was fab! Definitley will be back x

The food is good but the portion is too small.

Good service, nice location, but curry is a bit too salty for me, portion is tiny

Fantastic small plates. Great service.

Very good food but overpriced, small portions.

We had a wonderful lunch here. The food was delicious. Our 11-year old has various allergies and the staff were very helpful finding dishes that were ok for him, double checking our choices with the chef.

Good tasting food but extremely small portions at extremely high prices! Do not recommend, we felt ripped off!!

Wonderful restaurant! Small sharing plates makes dining fun and good for first-time Thai eaters. Polite and friendly service, absolutely delicious food, would love to visit again when I next visit York!

Fab Thai food near the York cycle route 65.

Very tasty tapas, but portions really are tiny...think they should be a little bigger for the cost

We eat here all the time. Yorks best Thai food maybe Yorkshire’s best. Love the tapas style. Well worth a visit

The food was delicious and very traditional however the price in my opinion isnt really a good deal when you see the portion of the food but everything else 10/10 waiter is very kind and thoughtful one of the best waiters ive ever had. Would recommend to eat here if your looking for a nice small thai restaurant with some friends 👍👍.

Superb and innovative Thai food in a friendly/ cosy ambiance

Exceptional food realy good evening thank you .

Amazing food with plenty vegan options. Staff very friendly and helpful

The food tasted good, but the meat did not seem fresh. Excellent service

Lovely restaurant, the food was amazing! Gang Massman is unreal. Kind and prompt service, nice music and atmosphere! Left no crumbs!

Excellent food and lovely staff. A really good meal out

Great service and the food was amazing! . So glad we found this place on our visit to York .

Really good food but very small portions for the price. Though it is a fun concept with the many small dishes, so that you can taste a bit of "everything". There are lots of option for both vegans and vegetarians. And if you are as white as me, there is something not too spicy too!

Great service and advice on veggie options. Recommended.

Staff were VERY warm and friendly and offered helpful advice on menu. I had the Kow Soi which was excellent and their thai iced tea even included whipped cream.

Perfect - pleasant and friendly place, suitable for groups or solo dining. I had the Pad Gai Gratiem which was great.

We ate here twice when staying in York. We found it a lovely friendly place, with the menu explained well. The dishes were some of the best Thai we have ever had. The servings are small, ideal for us. We had one plate of spring rolls then 2 other plates with 1 rice between the 2 of us. The first night we asked for another rice since both our dishes had a lot of sauce, the second night 1 rice was plenty. Lovely restaurant which if it was near home we would visit every week.

Lovely little find during our stay in York Small plates perfect and staff so attentive and friendly too seem very customer pleasing Food was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly

Absolutely fantastic thai food. Rich in flavour, every dish we had was well balanced. Best Thai food we've had. Portions are small, which does increase the cost for a meal, but quality like this is worth paying for.

Finally got to come here. We should have come sooner and will be back. Best Thai meal we've had in York.

Tah Tien is a hidden gem and one of my favourite places to eat in York. The food is phenomenal, it is served tapas style giving you the opportunity to try different dishes. The atmosphere is fun and the staff are friendly.

Really enjoyable and tasty experience with attentive friendly staff who made you very welcome from your arrival to your departure. Food was good quality served hot and most importantly tasty. Would definitely eat here again.

Food and service has been excellent

Lovely food, but expensive for what you get.

Amazing 👏 definitely great food and service. Large Portions!! Full!!! 😂😂😂

Good food and good service! I really like the idea of small (portions) dishes! I could try 4 different dishes tonight. That was so much fun :)

I can't rate their food as we didn't have dinner. I phoned the restaurant right after booked asking if they had an highchair for our 2 years old baby and who i believe was the owner replied "yes of course we have it". When we entered the restaurant, it was empty and an Asian guy welcomed us and when I requested the highchair again as it wasn't at our table the same person told us we don't have highchairs. After I asked why they lied when I asked to them during the phone call and the owner responded that nobody had ever requested an highchair in the booking. We left very disappointed as we were so excited to have our first dinner out with our baby and we wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday and the idea of leaving our son in the pram during the meal and let him eat in the pram it seemed very disappointing. Thank you for ruining our evening and not being honest.

Had a lovely meal here. Not cheap but worth the price. Thai tapas with plenty of choice and all well cooked. The restaurant is small, but if you can't get a seat you can order takeaway instead!

Meal is ok for me. I have ordered Fried mushroom as the starter. Bit oily. My main is beef. I would say the food is normal. The service is fantastic. Maybe I have ordered the wrong food. Worth to try but will not go back again.

Just eaten here this evening. Really interesting menu and we had 7 dishes between 2 of us, all of which were really tasty. Friendly, helpful staff and great service. A 10% charge is automatically placed on the bill, but it is optional. A gem of a place in York.

Delicious thai food and so many gluten free options. Staff were so lovely. I had two mains and that was more than enough food for me

Nice food, friendly staff but I'm sorry I have to give this place a low rating as the price you pay for what you get is outrageously expensive. The pad Thai too was far too rich and sweet.

Gorgeous food (best Thai street food I've had) Lovely service. Would come back for sure! A*** 🤤

Lovely food and very friendly service.

Lovely food, lovely staff. Recommend 👍

Tried this out on a Saturday night, excellent food tapas style plates at reasonable prices. Tried more than we would have with a traditional big plate, freshly cooked, very hot. Great service. Will be back!

Amazing gem we found in our visit to York!

The food was delicious, good portions and price. The service was also perfect, very friendly.

Amazing and authentic thai food. Proof that small businesses offer excellent service! Highly recommended.

Amazing food and great service! Highly recommended!

Fantastic food and lovely friendly service. Everything we had was really tasty. Will definitely return in the future.

The standard of food is absolutely amazing the curries being our favourite. The chill ‘off the beaten track’ vibes also makes this place really special.

proper good restaurant, came here for a light lunch and was NOT dissapointed, 10/10 would reccomend and am genuinely considering coming here on a weekly basis

In my opinion, this is the best Thai restaurant in York. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely delicious Thai small bowls. We ordered 7 dishes between two of us, we could have probably ordered slightly less to satisfy us. The food was absolutely beautiful, the Massman in particular was delicious. Highly recommend and we have found a new favourite Thai place in York.

One of the best Thai meals we've ever had in the UK, and the service was fabulous. When we return to York we'll most certainly be back, thank you!

On a business trip to York. A really lovely welcoming place to eat solo. And the food was utterly delicious - spicy, sweet and sour. Perfection!

Absolutely appalling service, after waiting over 2 hours for 2 Tapas dish’s, I asked the waiter who rudely said they had just forgotten about us and had started prioritising other tables, absolutely disgusting. Definitely would recommend couples to avoid at all costs. Would give Zero stars if I could.

Gem of a place! Friendly service, fabulous food and great value. Highly recommended.

A lovely dog friendly restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious 😍 we'll definitely be coming back nd bringing our dog along with us again 🙂

The food was mediocre, but I will say the duck pancake was nice. I feel it was a bit pricey given the portion sizes and the fact it is a tapas…

Absolutely delicious food, lovely chilled atmosphere and amazingly friendly and kind staff. Personally I would recommend any red curry sauce dish, any of the crispy chicken dishes, the pork belly and crispy beef. Gorgeous food!

Outstanding food, good portions, excellent service, warm and welcoming atmosphere. The family run feel to the place is lovely and the flavours are incredible. If you’re in the area and deciding where to eat don’t miss out on this delicious Thai tapas!

Very pleasant and spicy Thai food. Bit quiet but it was a rainy, stormy evening mid week. Would go back again!

Ordered Take Away from the restuarant 3-4 times and never been dissapointed. We ate in the restaurant for the first time today and it was just as lovley! The food is incredible, the staff are so welcoming and kind. And as a person who has around 5 severe allergies, they cater for me everytime with a smile which I can't thank them enough for. So great to have such of a gem of a resturant in York! Thanks Tah Tien, you're our favorite!

Hyped reviews. Pathetic service. Really disappointed. We ordered a takeaway tonight. It was almost as if they just packed the left overs for us. The crispy chicken doesn’t have a shred of chicken just fried batter. The pad Thai noodles seems like a portion for a toddler. It was a chicken pad Thai but no chicken can be found. Seems like the 4.7 rating is fake and not genuine. When we called back and tried to explain the person who picked up the phone just said the restaurant is closed now. No accountability or responsibility.

Amazing food, highly recommend booking

Absolutely stunning food. Great attentive service. Really good portion size, and fairly priced! Clean and welcoming would totally recommend

We went as a group of 4. We tried a lot of dishes and we were all impressed. It’s a tapas style which is perfect for sharing. The food was so good that we ordered extra plates to try. The pork balls with nuts and pineapple is delicious. (We ordered 2 ). Crispy mushroom and crispy beef are delicious too. The chips and gravy (don’t let the name fool you) was super crispy and tasty. Egg fried rice and prawns salad were fantastic. Sticky rice with pineapple for dessert was a great addition.

Amazing food great size for sharing. We ordered 15 plates for four of us. All delicious. Best Thai food that I have had for a good while. Friendly helpful staff. Only down side maybe a little cold but the weather was also very cold. No complaints only praise. Visit if you are looking for Thai food. Will be back 100% probably tomorrow night. Thank you guys keep up the good work x

I found this spot on a walk from the train station into town and couldn't have been happier with the result. After a 6 hour journey to York, and not eating all day, I needed something tasty to satisfy my hunger cravings. Tah Tien offered exactly what we were looking for, with its tapas menu, it allowed all my family to have dishes based on their pallets and preferences. There was a large range of vegetarian dishes for a Thai restaurant and some not-so-spicy dishes for the family. All the dishes that were served were exquisite, this restaurant will be hard to beat in York! P.S. I also highly recommend you get the mango sticky rice for dessert!

Teeny tiny portions at expensive prices. Sat down & had ordered drinks before even being told that the dishes were 'tapas style'. We were told to order 3 dishes each (which would come out at minimum £25). 💸💸💸 Food tastes good but I think they seriously need to rethink their pricing/ menu structure if they are serious about getting repeat customers🫤

Amazing staff with some if the best Thai food in York. Would highly recommend 👌

We came for dinner with friends and had the most delicious meal! Our lovely waitress recommended about 2-3 dishes each as they’re tapas sizes and there were so many delicious options and varieties - I especially liked the ‘ancient Thai food’ section as you don’t find these dishes in many Thai restaurant chains. The massaman duck curry was one of the best I’ve had - and I’m from Thailand! It was a very authentic meal with even lovelier service. It’s truly a hidden gem in York. Will definitely be back again :) Thank you to the wonderful waitresses and chef!

Exquisite flavours, wonderful service! Absolutely fantastic experience!

Great takeaway - great quality and very authentic in the food they serve, you wont be disappointed…..

Quality of food is 10/10. Proper good. Prices a bit high though and it's SMALL PLATES.

I’m Singaporean and I would say this is the most authentic and best Thai food I’ve had, even beating some places in Thailand itself!

Brilliant wee place. Great service and great food. Well worth seeking out.

Best Thai food ever had . Penang curry and massaman curry flavours were unbelievable and nothing like we’ve had before . Ordered food but all comes at the same time and in Taoas / Small plates form but superb food

Came to York for a couple of day. Wandered around, looking for a gem. Found one here ! The host is great, the waiteress was ok. The food was amazing, recommend. Only down side was the service charge added. Whilst given a choice to pay, would have been better if given as a tip.

Loved this! The street food was authentic Thai tapas style. It's not fancy, it's just great, honest, Thai food at a good price and with an excellent host. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it's a shame we live 5 hours away otherwise it would be our new favourite takeaway too!

Food was delicious and really authentic. Loved the sea bass. The smaller plates were a little smaller than I thought when they arrived. But they made up for it with incredible flavour and we all left full, so bigger sizes weren’t needed. Lovely service - warm and with a great buzz. Would definitely go back.

Went here with my daughter and we were staying in York. This was 2 kinscwalk from hotel on a side street. The welcome was warm and both servers were so attentive too. Food delicious and just the right amount too. Did not leave restaurant feeling bloated and uncomfortable. We would definitely recommend eating here.

Absolutely wonderful place. Great value, lovely staff, fabulous food. I don’t live in York but if I did I would be a regular without a doubt

Probably the best Thai restaurant in York.

Super friendly staff and great food! The pad thai was a bit too sweet to my liking, but it was still good. also had the green curry and Penang curry, both were very delicious and spicy! The only thing that threw us off a bit was the money sign on Google - it's definitely not just one £ sign. The portions are very small, if you want to get full you'll have to order 2-3 dishes each (4 if you're like my boyfriend who eats a bit more), which will cost about at the very least £20-30 each person. And a small steamed rice was almost £6! The food was indeed very tasty, but don't think I'll go back again when visiting York next time.

Great selection on the menu, very firendly staff and something for everyone to enjoy and share. Very tasty food freshly cooked and a lovely atmosphere in the place. It is quite a small restaurant so you may need to book, we chanced our arm and were lucky.

Nice restaurant that serves small plates of fantastic Thai food. Staff were excellent, explaining how it works and keeping us topped up with food and drink without being overbearing.... Almost first in and certainly last out!

Helpful friendly staff, all the food was excellent and we will definitely be returning - cannot recommend enough!

Went on a Friday night and found ourselves some very tasty food. We had the option... 3 dishes for £14 we picked 6 in total. All really delicious. We'd definitely go back, as there's so much more to have from the menu!

Lovey food freshly cooked the portions are tapas!! Two dishes were more than enough would definitely return when back in York lovey trendy staff too.

Lovely little place, the food is tapas sized and comes in small bowls which makes it quite expensive. Saying that the service is really good and the food itself is superb.

The food is absolutely delicious, and comes quite quickly. The staff are all lovely and helpful and really nice. This is a real hidden gem of York and thoroughly recommend. You need 2-4 dishes per person so it's not cheap but it's amazing. There are veggie and GF options

Outstanding services and some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had outside Thailand!

Very disappointed! Very poor service , one girl serving the whole time we were there. Miserable and couldn’t be bothered to come over even though we were constantly trying to get her attention. Food wasn’t great and the portions were incredibly small . We’ve ordered...
