Can't believe there's Thai food this good this far away from Thailand! I was not expecting much in terms of authenticity of flavours but I was pleasantly surprised. This would put many restaurants in Thailand to shame as well. Set lunch menu was well worth the price point and throw in an amazing ambiance and this place truly impresses. Had the pad thai and pad kra pao and I think its even better than the Mark Wiens version in Bangkok! The massaman curry bao and fried chicken starter were stars in their own right. Portion sizes were very generous so we struggled to finish the amazing mango sticky rice dessert.
We ordered a platter, a fried rice, a chicken with dragon fruit and a Tom Yum. The platter was good. But the chicken and beef in fried rice was extremely dry. And I’ve never had Tum Yum with chili oil, which is new but weird to me. Staff were nice.
I had a wonderful experience at this extraordinarily flavorful Thai restaurant. The wait staff was super attentive, and my waitperson was very invested in ensuring That my dining experience was perfect We had short discussions about each thing I ordered, and since I like it spicy, she interacted with the chef to make my mango sticky rice, dessert a spicy-sweet delight. Finally, chopped Thai chilies were served alongside fresh, juicy mango And sweet, sticky coconut rice. Delicious! I love it when a restaurant is really interested in your taste, and willing to augment their dishes to suit. I got extra condiments with my main course, which was also delicious. It was pad Thai noodles with a variety of seafood, and the spice was level three, which was absolutely perfect: hot enough for someone who REALLY likes the spice, but not so hot that you couldn’t taste it. My waitperson‘s last name was White, and I think her first name was Jessica, and she was the epitome of what all weight staff should be. A college student, she has a bright future in front of her, and made my solo dining experience even better by sharing a bit of her story with me when I asked. I’m from Houston, Texas, and this was the second time I had the privilege to visit this restaurant, and it certainly won’t be the last. As an added bonus, it was Thai new year, and they gave me a complementary glass of Prosecco.
A joy. Be careful as the small plates are not a starter and eyes bigger than my belly made the main a struggle! I had the ribs to start and a delight and plentiful. Also had the dumplings that weren’t not what I was expect him and were thick and heavy but gorgeous. North Thai belly pork curry was not the same as in Thailand but still melt in the mouth. If you like Thai then great if you like it in beautiful surroundings then perfect. Staff were perfect.
Best meal we have had in a long time. We visited on Sunday afternoon to try out the Thai Tapas menu. This includes 5 tapas for £25 with unlimited jasmine rice. Everything was delicious, I couldn’t fault any of the dishes we ordered. The venue itself is stunning inside from the dark wood panelling to the decorations. It always feels like a special occasion when you dine at Chaophraya. A big shout out to Monika, our server, who made the whole experience for us. She was very friendly and attentive, offering recommendations of drinks and dishes. Nothing was ever too much. She told us about upcoming promotions which we may need to take her up on. Overall, we had a great time and left the venue very happy.
