Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"The food was tasty."
"The food was unbelievable: full of flavour."
"Foods were very delicious, very tasty. Taste like home Thailand."
"Incredible Thai food. The tasting menu concept is a lot of fun cause you get to try out lots of different dishes."
"Amazing choice of fabulous dishes, all really tasty."
"Very tasty Thai tapas. Particularly enjoyed the duck spring rolls, chicken wings and the beef panang."
"The food was delicious, and the service was great."
"Really lovely place for Thai tapas, selection looks vast."
Cons:
"The rice was a bit hard for me personally, and I think the curries should come with rice for the price."
"All prawn dishes had the same taste, which was not a pleasant experience. The glass noodles were saturated in rose water and were inedible."
"The beef panaeng curry was extremely salty however, to the point where it was difficult to enjoy."
"The food was very nice but i dont understand why it wasnt hot at all ...maybe just the cold plates."
"Out of 5 dishes that we ordered 2 were good, 3 was below average."
"The Pad Thai for instance lacked flavour and sweetness."
"The king prawns in Thai sauce and fishcakes were overcooked and felt dry...which was a real shame."
"2 dishes were cold when they arrived, beef too tough to eat and pretty tasteless."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The staff were lovely but overly attentive."
"Really friendly and attentive staff who gave us the table with the best view of outside."
"Staff was incredibly nice and kind."
"The service was excellent, really friendly staff, and the food was absolutely out of this world."
Cons:
"Service was good. Waiting staff seemed a little snooty and we had to ask for the correct change when paying which was annoying."
"Service was also quite poor as we waited for about 40 mins for food."
"Service was good, but the floors are really sloping so our tables and chairs were uneven and uncomfy."
"Very disappointed with this restaurant, 2 dishes were cold when they arrived, beef too tough to eat and pretty tasteless. Staff not very welcoming or friendly."
Concept and Experience
Pros:
"Didn't quite gel with the Thai tapas concept."
"The menu is very wide in choice so everyone should be able to put together choices they enjoy."
"Charming restaurant with very tasty food and very friendly waitresses."
"A clever twist on Thai dining if you're not familiar. Try a few small share dishes.."
Cons:
"Because of this it gets quite pricey as each dish is around 8/9 pounds each."
"My only negative is the tapas style makes for an expensive evening."
"Really lovely place for Thai tapas, selection looks vast but some of the pork dishes the pork is cooked the same just served with a different sauce."
"Food lovely but not sure about the tapas style of dishes - ended up feeling a bit sickly with the mix of rich dishes."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"Well priced too. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a flavorful lunch spot in the city."
"Fantastic Thai tapas restaurant. Visited Phranakhon in Leeds previously and was impressed by the choice of dishes and quality of the food."
"Great food! Didn't have a reservation but they accommodated us. They were quite busy so didn't get a chance to check back on the food was the only issue."
"Lunch has a special menu with 3 meals for £12. Would recommend for friends and family."
Cons:
"Very hidden away restaurant in the heart of York, this was a real find! Amazing choice of fabulous dishes, all really tasty. Very quick service and yummy prawny prawn crackers! Slightly on the pricey side."
"Super evening out with friends, lovely table and atmosphere. Food was delicious, my only negative is the tapas style makes for an expensive evening."
"Portion size is, of course, small, meaning you're probably going to want to eat 3 dishes plus rice. This with one drink is going to cost you about £30 so not cheap."
"The food was fairly good but it was very expensive. None of our party was really impressed by the food so the bill was a surprise."
