| Sukhothai Restaurant in Leeds (Chapel Allerton) |
3 cheers for Ban, head chef and owner of
the exceptional Sukhothai Restaurant in Leeds, who continues to produce some of the best Thai food available in
Leeds and possibly even the UK! The creation of this restaurant has been a
personal journey for this talented chef, and this is reflected in the name
‘Sukhothai’, the name of his birthplace. Meaning ‘Dawn of Happiness’, Ban
ensures that all his guests enjoy the happiness that comes from eating
authentically cooked Thai food, in warm, convivial surroundings. Modern chic
effortlessly blends with traditional artifacts creating an earthy, chilled out
environment perfect for a romantic meal or family celebration.
The staff are absolutely wonderful and
consistently go out of their way to give everyone care and attention. Knowledgeable
about Thai cuisine, they can also assist in making selections from the slightly
daunting menu. As with many Thai restaurants in Leeds there is a vast range of delicacies to choose from,
including light bites, curries, soups and meat and seafood mains. Always a
popular choice the poh piah tod, are Thai-style spring rolls with minced
chicken, bean thread noodles and vegetables served with a sweet, chilli sauce.
The satay gung, marinated tiger prawns, grilled and served with ground peanut
sauce are moreishly good, while the sai oua, Thai pork sausage has an intense
chilli bite.
Of course the menu contains many familiar
dishes such as Thai green curry and pad Thai, but it is the inclusion of many
unusual dishes that make this menu so exciting. The pla yang, a whole sea bass
rubbed with fresh chilli, lime leaves and lemon grass before being wrapped in a
banana leaf and grilled, comes highly recommended. Light and refreshing it has
the beautiful flavours of citrus with a slight hint of heat. Any diner searching
for restaurants in Leeds that offer
the magical combination of great food with first-class service need look no
further. With a range of menus including a lighter lunch menu and set dinner
menu, as well as excellent vegetarian options Sukhothai restaurant in Leeds is
on track bringing diners happiness.
