Harden's survey result
Summary
“Amazing Thai food that can be eaten in a tuk-tuk” awaits at this “buzzing and bright” street-food outfit – est. 2015, and now the flagship of a seven-strong northern chain. Recreating the atmosphere of Bangkok’s markets, there’s no shortage of choice on the menu (bao buns, curries, tom yam soup) while the atmosphere, as per the inspiration, is “hectic” (“and you can have to queue”).
Summary
A “great Thai street food” venture (est. 2015) with a “fun atmosphere” that replicates Bangkok markets, down to the tuk tuks in which you can enjoy a menu featuring an impressive 80 dishes; the colourful mini-chain now has five northern spin-offs.
Summary
“Delicious and fresh-tasting” grub served in a space “decorated like a Bangkok street market – there are even a couple of tuk tuks you can eat in” – adds up to a “cheap ’n’ cheerful, tasty Thai street-food experience in the centre of Leeds”. “Although it often looks packed, it’s not difficult to get a place straight away – service is prompt and efficient”. Launched in 2015, it now has spin-offs in Headingley, York, Newcastle, Nottingham and most recently Sheffield.
Summary
A “brilliant escape to Thailand” – this former street stall serves “very authentic and tasty food, in an amazing buzzy atmosphere with very happy staff”. The colourful format has proved “a winner”, and there are now offshoots in Headingley, Newcastle, York and Nottingham.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
