About Sukhothai Restaurant
Rare in Leeds city centre, a Thai restaurant that pulls off a sleek, contemporary room hung with traditional artwork without losing any warmth. The cocktails are what most people start with, and the kitchen backs them up: the crispy pork belly, the short rib massaman and the red Thai curry are the dishes people keep coming back for, with portion sizes generous enough to matter. Staff are polite across the board, and Mariel in particular has been called out by name more than once for making solo diners and birthday tables feel equally looked after. The set menu gives a straightforward way in for first-timers. Birthdays happen here regularly enough that the room takes them in its stride without losing the ability to hold a conversation across the table.
In the last 90 days, Sukhothai Restaurant has drawn 35 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
