Excellent, excellent, excellent. Everything is fab.
The only problem is it's often very busy so book ahead. Oh and more choice of beers would be nice but that is just nit-picking.

Just keeps getting better and better. Must highly recommend the buffet they have started to do on a Sunday lunchtime, a great way to sample loads of dishes I would normally be scared to order from the main menu. The selections change weekly too and as much as I want for a tenner. Excellent food at ridiculously good value.

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 went to Sukhothai last night after reading on this site that it has been selected as one of the best Thai restaurants in the UK. I am naturally cautious of such bold claims. All I can say is the Times have it spot on. This is by far one of the tastiest Thai meals I have had EVER, including meals in Thailand. The service is extremely good and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with artwork that showcases the beauty of Thailand and its culture. A wonderful restaurant. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.

Excellent, - the food and even the decor are all absolutely amazing. Service is welcoming, helpful and polite, but above all genuine (how refreshing) and the food really is outstanding. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money too.

Wow what a place. It is the first time we have managed to visit Sukhothai after hearing a lot of good things we finally visited last night. We were been blown away by the sheer excellence of the food, and the number of dishes(180+) the perfection of service and the restaurant is one of the most beautifully decorated restaurants I have ever visited. The press say Sukhothai is one of the best Thai restaurants in the UK, and the number of smiling and happy faces that were in Sukhothai are certainly testament to that. Really really good. Bookings are recommended as the place was packed, we didn?, but we got lucky and managed to get the last available table. 5 *****

We visited Sukhothai on Friday night last, and can not rememeber the last time I enjoyed such a fabulous evening. Top quality food, served with charm and grace in a beautifully designed restaurant that would not look out of place in any major city centre. Bookings are highly recommended as the place was heaving, but I did not find the noise level a problem at all. Beautiful thai artwork is displayed on every wall and we finished the evening off with a few drinks on the sofa's next to the water fall feature. A top class venue serving possibly the best thai food in the uk.

I agree with the preceding positive comments about the food and service, both of which are very good, but older diners like myself should note that the comments about the "great atmosphere" really mean that it is incredibly noisy and those who want to indulge in pleasant conversation with their partner should look elsewhere.

Unbelievably good. My favourite restaurant in Leeds. They never disappoint me. The food is first class and is complimented by the most delightful and efficient service I have ever experienced. If you have not been you are missing out. Reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.
