Yaowarat Bangkok Chinatown

All three dishes we ordered were excellent. The Mama Tom Yum and Tom Yum noodles were rich, aromatic, and properly spicy, with that classic tom yum kick that’s hard to find. The Khao Moo Krob was a highlight – the pork was perfectly crispy without being greasy, and the seasoning was spot on. Really impressed by the quality and consistency of the food. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic Thai flavours.

We ordered the Mama Tom Yum, Tom Yum noodles, and Khao Moo Krob, and everything was absolutely delicious. The tom yum dishes were full of flavour with a perfect balance of sour and spicy, and the crispy pork in the khao moo krob was amazing – super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Portions were generous and the food tasted very authentic. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

We visited yaowarat after seeing it walking past the Leeds centre so decided to give it a try. It was quite sad when we arrived inside as it was incredibly quiet for a Sunday afternoon. We got served by a kind young thai waiter and he was friendly and helped with any questions we had. Overall we ordered a pad see ew and a two course menu with pork wontons as starter and honey skewers as a main with a starter of tomyum soup. I quite enjoyed the tomyum as it had a generous portion of vegetables but it was still pretty spicy even though I had asked for it to be mild. The wontons however was quite disappointing as even though they looked big it was hollow inside with very little filling. My favourite dish was the pad see ew I ordered, it was well seasoned and beef was tender but could’ve done with a bit more oil and smokiness. The honey skewers were soso but it lacked the skewer smokiness and looked quite pale and lacked depth in flavour because of that. We had also ordered a Thai milk tea but it was really disappointing for something we ordered at a Thai restaurant because it was quite watery and tasted like something I could make at home. I would probably give the spot a try again but not in a rush to come back, I hope this place reaches out to more customers as they have potential.

Great little spot. Good heart warming food and great value too. Plenty of options as well.

Everything we tried was amazing. The Mama Tom Yum, Tom Yum noodles, and Khao Moo Krob were all packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. You can really taste the authenticity, especially in the tom yum dishes. One of the best Thai meals I’ve had recently – will definitely be back!
