"My wife and I discovered Sukhothai years ago when it was just a tiny restaurant in Chapel Allerton. The food and service has always been excellent. If anything the food has got better with much more choice on the menu nowadays. Sometimes when a restaurant gets bigger or opens another branch the food can suffer, this is NOT the case with the Sukhothai, the quality of the food remains at a remarkably high standard."
"Had a meal on saturday evening 17th July 2010..the food is fantastic, having visited Thailand several times it's truly traditional Thai Cuisine, the service is excellent,waiters & waitresses are so polite & attentive, the atmosphere is nice not too cramped."

"I first discovered Sukhothai around 4 years ago when I first moved to Leeds... Easily one of the best places ever for Thai food! Staff are always helpful, the food is always perfect and the atmosphere is fantastic: hooked for life!"
"We have visited your restaurant on a number of happy occasions over the 4 years that our son was at University in Leeds. On each and every occasion you made us feel welcome and special. All your staff were always very polite and pleasant and provided a faultless service. But more than anything, it is the way in which they serve you that impresses. They will do anything to make every single visit a special time. They are so pleasant and polite it leaves a lasting impression and makes you want to come back time after time. The food? Well, what can I say - beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, fragrant dishes every time. As a family who eat out a lot, your restaurant has got to be our all-time favourite. Whether it be a 21st birthday or, as was our latest visit this week, our son's graduation, your staff and chefs made our visit to your restaurant perfect. Thank you. "

"Yes we had a great time. Very enjoyable."
"Best Thai restaurant I've been to anywhere, and that includes Thailand."
" The first time wont be the last. love the tradition of reality plenty of menu choice too "

"FANTASTIC FOOD THE BEST THAI I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!"
"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!!!"
"The best takeaway I have ever had!!"
"I had a great meal and very friendly service"
"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."
"You Rock"
"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'.
"Perfection every time, best Thai food in leeds mixed with a brilliant and friendly service, I'll keep coming back for years to come!"
"Ridiculously delicious."
"I came last week as a birthday surprise, and had a fantastic meal, very authentic and a great atmosphere! Thanks :) Nicki "
"Some of the best food I have ever tasted, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I intend to keep coming back."
"Amazing ambience, food and service. The best meal out I have had in a long time!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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 came to your restaurant last night as we were having a weekend break in Leeds. I have to say it was the most wonderful service and atmosphere I have ever experienced in a restaurant and the food was lovely too. We shall recommend you to all our friends. Thank you"
"The best thai meal I have had outside Thailand!"
"Definitely THE best thai I have ever had! The dishes were cooked beautifully and the atmosphere was perfect. "
"We came for a meal on Friday 28th December, the food was delicious as usual. We have been coming to Sukhothai since you opened and it is always good! "
"YUMMY!!"
"Excellent vegetarian choice. Good service, great atmosphere. Will definately return!"
"As per usual, fantastic food and great, friendly service! 10/10"
"This is the most incredible restaurant ever the atmosphere is wonderful the waiters/waitresses are really nice and the food is amazing :)"
"Delicious food and excellent service. A lovely evening. Will be going back soon."
"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."
"It does not matter whether we eat in or take out, each meal we have from Sukhothai is consistently excellent. We have been loyal customers of Sukhothai now for over 4 years and we always highly recommend you."
"I am addicted to the food from Sukhothai especially the Thai Spicy Sausage keep up the amazing work!!!!!!!!!!!"
"The most amazing takeaway i have ever had - beautifully cooked and presented!"
"Absolutly first class food, setting and service, staff were friendly, courteous and attentive. I would have no hesitation recommending Sukhothai to anyone."
"The best Thai place ever !!"
"First visit was last Thursday. Very impressed with both the service and the food. Not in Leeds too often but will definitely call again!!"
"Time and time again, my favourite restaurant in Leeds. Never been disappointed."
""I have had lots of Thai food, I have even been to Thailand and i still think Sukhothai is the best i've had. Love the food and the place""
"thaitastic "
"Well done Sukhothai. I do not know how you have managed to improve on excellence, but you really have. We love the extension, especially the waterfall, the food is excellent as always, and the service second to none. Keep it up."
"Fabulous food and excellent service, we're sure to return very soon!"
"I agree that it is possibly the best thai restaurant in leeds, if not the country. Tasty, varied dishes cooked to perfection. I especially will be returning for the thai custard."
"I booked a table for 6 for my boyfriends birthday. His parents are Thai cuisine novices, and the assistance they got when ordering was so helpful. The food was fantastic, and the atmostphere so inviting. thanks for a special evening"
"I LOVE THE FOOD, ATMOSPHERE AND SERVICE ITS THE CLOSEST YOU GET TO THAILAND THAN NOT BEING THERE!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND THANKS"
"I would just like to say that i was in your resturant last night and could not believe how well presented and delicious the food was, also the service and politeness of your staff is the best that i have ever experienced. I have only been in work this morning for 1 hour and already i have recommended your restaurant to about 20 people. "
"The best in the uk."
"Perfectionists in every department. From start to finish a most enjoyable experience. I certainly have not had thai food as good as this anywhere. We will be back....soon."
"We have been regular visitors since it opened in 2002 - fabulous ambience and great service - it just gets better and better with each visit!"
"We are regular customers at Sukhothai and love it. So lucky to have it on our doorstep in Chapel Allerton."
"Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! Highly recommended."
"Absolutely fabulous everytime!!"
" 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!! "
"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. "
"very nice meal, most enjoyable"
"The best meal out I've had in ages. Don't think it will be long until we return...Thai Food at it's best!"
"A smart, slick Thai restaurant in the suburb of Chapel Allerton provides the best Thai food around with impeccable service. You wont find a better Thai meal in this country, never mind in Yorkshire."

"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.

"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."

I have only been in work this morning for 1 hour and already i have recommended your restaurant to about 20 people. "

" 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. "
Michael C
