“Delicious and fresh-tasting” grub served in a space “decorated like a Bangkok street market – there are even a couple of tuk tuks you can eat in” – adds up to a “cheap ’n’ cheerful, tasty Thai street-food experience in the centre of Leeds”. “Although it often looks packed, it’s not difficult to get a place straight away – service is prompt and efficient”. Launched in 2015, it now has spin-offs in Headingley, York, Newcastle, Nottingham and most recently Sheffield.

A “great and authentic Thai food experience” awaits at this “street-food spot-turned restaurant” which, despite still “looking and feeling like a pop-up”, is by now “a staple part of Leeds life”, especially if you’re after “something different”; the “buzzy and fun” (kid-friendly) décor involves eating in a tuk-tuk.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
