"Sukhothai has become my favourite eating place in Chapel Allerton, since I went for a meal in April for my birthday. They are very good with catering for large or small groups, and their food is fantastic! I've eaten in the Chapel Allerton restaurant that many times, the staff are used to my fussy individual tastes!!!"

"I love Sukhothai! I live in Bangkok and I was on holiday and saw this beautiful restaurant and decided to eat here. It was just like being back home."

"As a couple we generally prefer to cook at home rather than waste money on eating out, after so many dissappointing experiences.We have to say that our experience of Sukhothai was amazing.The second we walked in it felt welcoming.We had no table reservation but within five minutes were seated and it was a Saturday night.The large choice of food and price really shocked us. We had read online fantastic feedback about the place.The staff were so ready to please and service was swift not having to wait for ages to order drink. The place was full and all the customers seemed to be really happy.The food was for me and my partner truly amazing.As we left nearly every staff member said goodbye and as we walked away we both said we will defenitely be going back there again.Thankyou Sukhothai for restoring my faith in eating out again."

"Last Monday evening I had the pleasure of dining at the Sukhothai Restaurant in Otley Road, Leeds. What an absolute delight it was. I am a writer and poet (details on my website www.bryanowen.com) and was moved to write the attached poem 'Sukhothai'.

Sukhothai

Under the open-handed blessing of a beneficent smiling Buddha, amidst fresh orchids and golden roses on tables lightly displayed, the saffron service was simply perfect.

A warm welcome was gently conveyed on beaming faces of beautiful Thai whose graceful two-handed ‘wai’ delicately massaged my end-of-day tiredness and please-don’t-touch-me emotional bruises.

I had become an honoured guest and for once the welcome was real: for a short while I felt the promised dawn of happiness as I succumbed to my rest and ate my meal.

"I went to Sukhothai for my wife's birthday in February 2008 and I must say it was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have experienced. Décor The restaurant is beautifully decorated with traditional Thai ornaments, pictures and statues. There is a beautiful water feature on the back wall with a small gold fish "pond" at the bottom of it. Everything was spotlessly clean from the bar area to the toilets. Staff From the minute we walked in we were made to feel very welcome and the waiters/waitresses could not do enough for you. Some of our party were running late but unlike some restaurants the staff did not try and rush us through and get us out. We were made to feel very relaxed throughout the evening. No one went for more than a split second with an empty glass and whatever request was thrown at the staff they were more than happy to accommodate. Food What can I say? The food was quite simply amazing! All starters were fully cooked and all came together (I'm not a fan of stop start delivery of meals, they should all be cooked as near to each other as possible and brought out together). Each starter came with its own hand crafted fruit figurine, there were roses, elephants and swans made form a mango or so an "expert" from our party informed us. The main course was sublime, again fully cooked and presented beautifully. The taste, texture and overall quality of the food were top class. A few of us decided there was enough room for a desert and they all went down very nicely with everyone thoroughly enjoying them. Price For a delicious 3 course meal with 2 beers to cost under £20.00 is simply stunning. There is honestly not one word I could say against the restaurant. Overall I would have to say that Sukhothai exceeded all expectations any of us had before hand. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a quality meal in beautiful surroundings. 10/10 from all of us. Thanks "

"I am addicted! the best Thai food since Thailand. My friends and I just keep coming back!"
Caroline

"I have travelled all over the world eaten in many fine restaurants and sampled many cuisines. In Sukhothai you have the best combination of authentic food with attentive interested staff who care (a very rare combination) the food was superb along with the service but the Jasmine rice was beyond description. With a slightly quieter environment we would have gastronomic heaven! but a little noise to eat such perfect food is worth it! You MUST book its very popular not surprisingly!"
Paul Fisher

"I went to Sukhothai Restaurant twice . I think it is the best Thai food i have ever had in the UK. The place is very nice and clean and all the staff are very POLITE."

"We've dined at the Sukhothai in Chapel Allerton many times, even though it is a lengthy journey from our home the other side of Leeds. We welcome the opening of the Headingley restaurant as it will mean we have less distance to travel for what, in our experience, has always proved to be excellently prepared and presented food."
John and Christine

" It is the best Thai food I have had outside Thailand! Also, the portions are a good size. So many Thai restaurants serve small portions and charge big prices, at Sukhothai the reverse is the case!! "
Fiona Dix-Dyer

"I have only just found out about Sukhothai by reading in the Times newspaper supplement (T2) that " you would find it very difficult to find better Thai food anywhere in the UK." Well as we live relatively close by, (Ossett), and consider ourselves experienced Thai food eaters, we thought we would put the Times newspapers claim to the test. We visited Sukhothai on a Thursday night and all I can say is that the food was unbelievably good, the service exceptional, the restaurant is visually stunning with a great ambience, good wine list and an extremely reasonable bill. I concur with the Times, certainly the best Thai food I have enjoyed in the UK. Highly Recommended. "
