My Thai — Restaurant in Leeds

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Been going for years and it’s my favourite restaurant EVER!

The staff are soooo lovely, the food is outstanding and last night was no exception. In fact I would say it was the best we have had there and that’s saying something.

We had the sharing platter for two and everything on there was yummy it included satay chicken, pork wantons, corn cakes, spring rolls, fish cakes and the star on the plate for me was the ever so lightly battered and very crispy king prawn.

My parter had the chicken yellow curry with jasmine rice and I had the Gra Paw Moo Sub with a fried egg on top with jasmine rice. I did ask to have the chilli level down one as two chilli dishes for me are a little too hot and they didn’t disappoint. Oh my word! Amazing!

This is a little gem of a restaurant and one that I like to keep a secret all to myself but I just had to write a review after last night.

It’s situated on York place down some steep steps and once in the staff greet you politely and are very attentive.

I have never had bad or even mediocre service here nor have I ever had a bad or mediocre food.

From me this restaurant comes more than highly recommended. But don’t tell too many people or I won’t be able to book in...

You can't beat a good Thai (that probally doesn't sound right and violence is wrong, anyway we digress). Went in with a mixed group after watching the Rugby (England won, yay, whoops digressed again). Fortunately some of the others had spent less time having refreshment while watching the oval ball and took charge. We ordered a few starters to share, I think it included some spare ribs, but equally I could be wrong. Whatever they were I can definitely remember they were good. Main course I'm pretty sure (I think) that I had a beef pad Thai, no, I definitely did have one, i must have been reasonably with it as I used chop sticks. Anyway as they say, you didn't want to know that, what you do want to know is was it any good, and, yes it was. So in summary: very good service, very good food, and at very competitive prices (can't say cheap as that has negative connotations, so we will stick to great value for money). Will defo go back again, probally with the family and have some more. Just found out it is a chain restaurant, which it definitely didn't...

I am so disappointed by my second visit to My Thai and don’t understand the 4.7 rating at all. My pad gra paw (pork, beans, chilli, holy basil) was covered in sickly sweet, highly processed oyster sauce and had added palm sugar causing it to lose all the fresh and spicy flavours from the holy basil and chilli. The other main dish I tried - crispy chicken with chilli and garlic - was also sweet and tasted like a bad version of Chinese sweet and sour chicken. I eat a fair bit of Thai food in Leeds and I am sorry to say this was the worst I’ve had in a long while!

Have given 3-stars rather than 1 or 2 because they at least switched my main to a chicken green curry which I thought would be a safe bet (it was average). Having said that, they charged me for the original, completely inedible gra paw dish rather than the cheaper green curry which I thought wasn’t great customer service on principle but I accepted it.

For authentic, great value thai food, I’ll be sticking with Thai a Roy Dee for dinner and Khao Gaeng...
