Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The food was tasty."
  • "The food was unbelievable: full of flavour."

  • "Incredible Thai food. The tasting menu concept is a lot of fun cause you get to try out lots of different dishes."

  • "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."
