Review of The Viet Thai Restaurant in Leeds

Viet Thai Restaurant in Leeds

Diners looking for an authentic taste of Vietnamese and Thai food should head to the cosy, relaxed Viet Thai Restaurant in Leeds. This small venue is already a huge hit with culinary enthusiasts and its popularity is continuing to grow. With capacity for just 20 covers at a time, this is a small and intimate restaurant. Husband and wife owners, Minh and Huong, warmly welcome each diner so the atmosphere really is like a ‘home away from home’. Perfect for intimate dinners or small family celebrations or get-togethers with friends, Viet Thai offers guests superb food and fantastic hospitality. Huong is knowledgeable about the menu and she will guide diners through the many choices available. Minh has 14+ years experience as a chef and he will do his best to amend dishes to suit special dietary needs or preferences.

Both Thai and Vietnamese cuisines are renowned for their delectable starters. Fortunately Viet Thai has a great selection of these delights on offer such as Vietnamese crispy spring rolls, chicken satay with a creamy peanut sauce, aromatic crispy duck and battered tiger prawns with either a peanut or homemade fruit sauce. Vietnamese restaurants in Leeds are well known for large bowls of flavourful soup and Viet Thai is no exception. Imagine tucking into a big, comforting bowl of traditional tom yum soup with a choice of chicken or tiger prawns. This Thai influenced hot and sour soup is flavoured with lemongrass, lime leaves, coriander and chilli and it really hits all the right notes. Another popular choice is pho, a traditional Vietnamese soup that is packed with deep, robust flavour and fragrant flat rice noodles.


 Of course curry is on the menu as Thai green curry is always a treat for spice lovers. There are also plenty of meat and seafood dishes to enjoy with steamed rice, egg fried rice or vermicelli noodles. Why not try the ‘shaking’ beef cooked with fresh chilli, herbs and black pepper Vietnamese style, or the ‘yummy’ crispy duck breast with homemade fruit sauce. Curious diners may wish to try the catfish marinated in spices and herbs, this meaty white fish is full of flavour and is incredibly popular in Vietnam. Pad-Thai is always a great choice for diners unsure about what to order. Beautiful, delicate fragrant flat rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, carrots, spring onion, chilli and ground peanut and served with a choice of vegetables, chicken, beef or tiger prawns is an indulgent taste sensation. Restaurants in Leeds often have special menu offers. Viet Thai has several set course menus and well as special banquet menus perfect for a night out with friends and loved ones. Finish your wonderful meal with a selection of cool, refreshing ice creams or try the glutinous rice ball with red bean paste filling covered in a warm, sweet gingery syrup. It is clear Viet Thai Restaurant in Leeds is the place to go for authentic Thai and Vietnamese flavours and of course warm, hospitality.
