Delicious Thai tapas. We tried 6 tapas dishes and one pad Thai which was the perfect amount of food for 3 people. Highly recommend the pad Thai, moo grop (pork belly) and gai satay. Sadly the chicken wings were a little bit chewy and dry but all the other dishes were perfect and the servers were incredibly friendly and accommodating.
Our first visit with friends after it being recommended to us. The food is absolutely fantastic, nothing to fault, very tasty and the staff are lovely. Only managed to snap one photo as we were too eager to enjoy the food and forgot! We’ll definitely be back again soon to enjoy the cosy atmosphere.
This historic building houses a unique culinary secret known only to the people of York. For those who enjoy Thai cuisine, we recommend booking a table to sample their luxurious high-end tapas. The crispy duck spring rolls are particularly noteworthy a must have, you won’t be disappointed.
A lovely little restaurant. The ladies who served us, especially Mingmin was super friendly and we was seated and seen too quickly. We opted for tapas dishes and one large plate each. The food was amazing and the best thai food I’ve eaten. Personally, I had shredded beef and sticky rice, honey glazed ribs and a crispy pork noodle dish which had a great kick to it. Will definetly visit again when in York.
This is by far the best authentic Thai restaurant we’ve tried so far, after visiting Zaap, Giggling Squid, and Tah Tien. Our ranking would be: Phrankhon > Giggling Squid > Zaap > Tah Tien. When it comes to food quality and value for money, Phrankhon is clearly the winner. Their lunch offer includes two Thai dishes plus rice for just £19.50, and every dish is packed with rich flavours. We ordered the deep-fried duck leg, pork belly, sea bass, and Tom Yum prawn soup — all tasted authentic and were beautifully cooked. We also changed a portion of rice to sticky rice for a bit of a difference. Our server, Afta, was really sweet and friendly. The restaurant itself is small and charming, with a cosy, boutique feel that makes the experience genuinely warm and hospitable. We’ll definitely be going back soon to try their dinner menu.
