Mommy Thai in Leeds

We were playing in The Domino and had some time between soundcheck and stage time. Planned to eat in Zaap but it was jam packed so we went for a wander along Vicar Lane and that’s where we found Little Mommy Thai. It was busy but looked inviting so we chanced our luck and asked if they had room for 6. Within 2 minutes they’d made up a table for us. We ordered 5 starters and 6 mains (technically 5, I ordered another starter) and asked for it all together so the table could be turned around a bit quicker for them. Everyone loves their food. I had the tofu Satay and Tom Kha soup. Wow! I’m still thinking about that soup 3 days later! It was incredibly flavoursome! I love Thai food and thought I’d had some great dishes at home in Glasgow but this was another level. The satay wasn’t as you might expect - sweet chilli sauce with a generous topping of crushed peanuts but it worked so well. 2 of us had mango juice and absolutely loved it. The reason this is 4 stars and not 5 is that the bill was brought unprompted while we were still eating, with the waiter hovering for us to pay. This was only 45 minutes since we’d sat down. We really did appreciate them accommodating us as a walk in on a Friday night but rushing us so much at the end almost spoiled it. Saying that, the total bill was just £85.50 for six people including drinks, incredible value really.

Probably the best Thai in Leeds for me. Service is always great and friendly Food is delicious It’s a clean establishment Special mention to the waiter who wore the number 61 on today (10/03/2024) He was great

Food was fine BUT no running water to the toilets either cistern or washbasin. Don't know where the staff were washing their hands.

We were a walk in on a Friday evening at 8pm. Only waited a few minutes before we were graciously shown to a table upstairs. Service was spot on - not too quick nor slow. We chose the mixed starter of spring rolls, crab cakes and ribs - it was OK but nothing to write home about. Both our mains however were delicious : Pad Thai with chicken and noddles with duck ( can’t remember the exact name !) Flavoursome, well cooked and the timing between the starter and main was spot on. Staff were friendly and efficient .

Brilliant authentic Thai food with a fabulous atmosphere and great service! I really enjoyed my Tom yum and laab pork, such beautiful flavour and the most authentic I've had outside of Thailand (and better than some in Thailand too ;-) ) The place was buzzing on a Tuesday night and I can see why! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town to try out some more of the menu!

Paid £42 for a takeaway and Thai crackers missed off. Called the restaurant but no offer of refund for item or future credit.....Poor

Very busy in the evenings.Small place but fast turnaround. Good food. Portions good. At all times, tables seem to be full.

We visit Mommy Thai probably twice a month on average and I don't think we will ever get bored. I've been with family, friends and work and it's always a lovely atmosphere and the food is alway delicious.

Rude, unfriendly! Told me what to order! Rude and no manners! Dont bother go to Nats pad Thai in Morley!!!!!!

My regular Thai spot, nearby, was full, so I thought I'd give the New Kid on the Block a try. The interior is nice enough, but cramped, and the waitress left me standing there waiting to be seated at one of several empty tables. I can't say the service really got any better. They have a £10 lunch offer, for a starter and main course. As I had not been here before, I opted for one of my favourite Thai dishes, a massaman curry, with tofu, and corn cakes as a starter. The dishes were served together. The corn cakes were already smothered in sweet chilli sauce, and varied in temperature, from cold to lukewarm. The curry was a little different to any other massaman curry I've ever had, with no peanuts, for example, few potatoes, and a rather salty flavour. There was also very little tofu. I didn't enjoy it, and couldn't eat it all. Another drink might have helped, but the waiting staff did not return to my table, and I was not able to get their attention. Paying was a perfunctory experience, with no enquiry as to how my meal was. Cash or card is accepted. A disappointing experience I will not be in a hurry to repeat.

My wife and I came here for my birthday meal what a mistake my chicken satay was dry and very tough my main course thai green curry was very bland no spice at all more like Irish stew my wifes meal was just as bad

Service average. There is no order to taking customers orders you could be sat there 20 minutes and someone that walks in after would be served first. Air con cools not only you but your food down to around 4 degrees making it uncomfortable and a waste of food. Only good thing is the roasted coconut water.

We visited the Mommy Thai venue on Duncan Street in Leeds. My partner remarked that it had a very traditional Thai vibe to it, and I have to admit that there is definitely an authentic vibe to the restaurant. However, the layout of the venue is very poor and in order for me to reach my seat I had to practically squeeze between two tables whilst other customers were eating their food. Once sat down, both mine and my partners seats (if you could call them that) felt like they were falling apart and were not comfortable at all. The toilets were also situated through a door that was accessible only next to where everyone was eating. The food for the most part was average. I certainly wouldn’t say it was in edible, however, the dishes we had were not very flavoursome. I ordered the number 52 on the menu and found the pork very difficult to eat and was incredibly tough and dry. The garnish vegetables didn’t seem to add anything other than being clearly unfresh and dry to both mine and my partners dish. It’s not great when the plates themselves are hotter than the food. Service was adequate, when we arrived we were allowed to be seated earlier than our reservation, and service was fairly quick overall.

This place is has a homey vibe. The place isn't that big but people definitely comes back for the great food. It would have been better if they would ask if you want all the food served at the same time except dessert. Asians like to eat the sides with the main. Will definitely come back and recommend this place. The was okey as well. 😊

Awful service from the moment we arrived. Food was bland and lacked flavour. The pad Thai was awful to the point I couldn’t eat it.

I went to Mommy Thai on a Sunday noon whilst I was solo for the weekend and in need of a nicely cooked meal. I always wanted to give the place try but the venue is tiny and always packed out. I went in and...

Everything about this restaurant was brilliantly Thai. It was as if I was in the backstreets of Bangkok: the interior, the condiments, and (of course) the curries! Come here if you want to experience authenticity.

It’s not long since we last visited. Food this time was again good and tasty. Service was fine as it wasn’t really busy although personal hate was that they brought main meals before starters finished. A point dropped for their impatience.

We loved Mommy Thai. We have been to Thailand and this is the nearest we have come to a realistic Thai experience in the UK. The staff were lovely, the decor and atmosphere is 100% authentic but the star of the show was the food....

I’ve been here twice, the first time I really enjoyed it and have been looking to come back since but this time wasn’t great. The starter and main was ok but the £4 crackers were horrible that I couldn’t even finish one so that was...

WOW genuinely the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten (I eat a lot of Thai food), it’s such amazing value for money and the flavours are another level, if your visiting Leeds and looking for amazing Thai food you will not be disappointed, it’s my...

Superb food and speedy service. Great place for lunch - especially with their happy hour deals! 10/10

Recent visit to Vicar Lane restaurant far better than my last review in Oct22. Food being chicken satay, Penang curry and a pad krapow stir fry. Mains seemed to have increased in price but when you factor in that the rice is included, £9.95 is...

We visited Momma Thai twice while we were in Leeds..it was so good. We had Thai tea with milk and a selection of starters..absolutely delicious! Would recommend..

Everything is perfect. Food is well priced I had the Khao soy it yellow curry noodle dish, it very lovely. It friendly service

Visited today & had to write a review as I was blown away at how nice the food was. I had the yellow curry noodle dish & it was excellent. Polite & friendly service. Would defo recommend. The place itself is very basic and it’s...

Second time we have been here. Small and cosy seating area with a Thai street food vendor feel. Turn the tables quite quickly so even at the busiest times the wait is not too long. Really authentic Thai food served quickly. Certainly worth taking heed...

We visited on a Thursday lunch time and managed to get a table despite it being surprisingly busy. The food was good and great value, but the service was pretty slow at times.

Pretty quick service and food value lunch menu £9 gets you a small starter (two pieces) and a main Food is tasty Was odd to see one of the staff cutting vegetables on one of the tables next to customers, not sure why this wasn't...

My friend Charlotte and I came here for a reunion lunch date. We arrived early, before the restaurant officially opened in fact. However, the very friendly staff were keen to cater to our needs. We ordered from the lunchtime set menu - 2 courses for...

Visited twice in October. Once it was it was really busy due to Leeds Light Festival and we were lucky to get seat almost immediately. Food as we’d come to expect from previous visits was good and service ok. Second visit was just before 4pm...

I’ve been in Mommy Tai lots of times but in (110 Vicar lane ) every thing was really good , but today my husband and I were In there ( 7 Duncan street) for our first time it was disgusting, we’ve been there in happy...

Well, where do I start? In a nutshell - the place is cramped, looks dirty and not somewhere I would usually go to. We were seated next to a pack of toilet rolls . However , food and service excellent and best described as cheap...

Have previously heard good things and it looks nice inside. We ordered and I popped to the loo before food came. As I descended the stairs the stench from the store room was almost unbearable and I was half expecting to find rats. Honestly I’ve...

We arrived on Saturday as we were passing and looked welcoming. Wow were we wrong! Plenty of empty tables and seemingly plenty of staff, didn't even get acknowledged by any staff at all. A family of three were sat on the bench patiently staring into...

Seats with dirty/empty plates on and some not set up, politely asked how long would it roughly take to be sat down as had been ignored numerous times at the door when there was plenty empty seats, got told we should probably go find somewhere...

We had to wait for a table but this was well worth waiting for. Wonderful service from our waiter who was polite We had starters & main meal lots of drinks for £37. Seriously cheap for the quality of food absolutely delicious

Visited for the first time on 14th October. The service was good as was the food. We had 3 different meals and all were served hot and were very tasty. The place itself could do with a good clean, around the downstairs kitchen/storage area was...

If you find yourself in Leeds then I beg you to visit mommy Thai! We went a few weeks ago, happy hour was 2 courses for £7.95! Not only was the price incredible, the food was even better. I’m not sure how then can serve...

2 course lunch for 7.95. Super tasty and exceptional value. Can't fault it. I will try the main menu next time. Gets very busy!

I tried mommy Thai down Briggate 1 year ago. This is the first time in vicar Lane. I have been there with my wife for the first time last Sunday, early bird, starter and main (many options, crazy), water, diet coke, £19.90. Service faster then...

Food was great, presented well and tasted great! That part was good….. until you visit the toilet and see mould on mould growing from a toilet brush…. Never EVER I have I seen something as gross as that. God only hopes the kitchen is clean…....

My opinion during the initial visits was amazing. Lately, the standard has gone down. Ordered chicken satay which needs to be succulent. What i got was very dry, stale and deep fried last minute simply to revive it. A friend ordered Tom Kha vegetarian soup...

We usually go to Thai a Roy Dee but it was shut, in a panic we rushed opposite to Zaap Thai but the queue was massive, then is a frantic state of Thai induced panic we looked around for another place that would satisfy our...

This tiny restaurant down a side street was such an excellent find that we ate there twice in 4 nights. The massaman curry, stir fry with cashew nuts and the chow mein noodles were delicious, beautifully cooked and nicely presented. The staff member was extremely...

We stumbled upon this place by chance and I’m so glad we did! I’d heard good things about mommy Thai before but we randomly called in late night on the bank holiday weekend after being in leeds all day and it was delicious. We shared...

I was about to come in this venue when A member of staff came out of the window and did this derogatory image

Brilliant. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially with small details. Explained menu items clearly and were patient with me. Prices are very cheap and they are respectful-don’t try and force up sells. The food is brilliant. I have been several times and the quality...

Excellent little Thai restaurant in a quirky environment in Leeds. The menu is far more varied than most UK Thai restaurants with a number of traditional dishes I haven’t seen served in this country before. We had an enormous bowl of Khao Soi noodles, a...

Came here on a recommendation and I'm pleased we did. So much choice you really are spoilt! I chose a soup dish for starter and the wife had fish cakes. Both chose curry dishes for mains. Note both the starters and the main course came...

Ordered papaya salad which usually comes with dried prawns. Instead I was served large cold prawns. I explained this wasn't what I asked for and as a courtesy could they charge the normal price of £9.95. Instead I was charged £13. He was very rude....

Excellent hot and tasty food as previously provided when we’ve been. Had to queue for table but not long wait and served quickly then. It appears to be our go to Thai in Leeds now.

Busy little restaurant - always a good sign to see lots of people dining. Varied menu with plenty of favourites and some unusual dishes (to me, at least). Tasty fresh food, served quickly by friendly team, for a good price. What’s not to like?

Not forgetting how reasonable prices are! We have often been wary of Thai food outside Thailand as they tend to be expensive and too sweet. Not Mommy Thai! The set costs £7.95, a starter from over 10 choices and mains from over 20. Served from...

First time we visited, inside it's a nice cozy little place. Initially the service was attentive with our orders on our table in 10 minutes. Good start. The food however was mediocre & nowhere near matching the other two Thai eateries we often visit in...

Used to love this place, but very rude service today from the manager. Food has also gone downhill. Many other authentic thai restaurants in the city centre- suggest you try one of those.

Nice food but slightly odd service… Young waitress seeing patrons to tables but all seated tables in the proximity had to ask to order drinks, and then their food, which we did for 15-20 minutes after being seated. To be fair once ordered, food was...

Would recommend this lovely restaurant. Brilliant food, good value for money and excellent service. We will definitely return.

Every time we eat at Mommy Thai it's absolutely brilliant. We've never had a bad meal or bad service. All of the food is wonderfully fresh and full of flavour with really good portion sizes for incredibly reasonable prices. I honestly can't recommend Mommy Thai...

We visited the vicar lane branch on bank holiday Monday. We usually go to Chaophraya but I’d walked past earlier and it smelled really good and was much cheaper so we decided to give it a go. I’m so glad we did! The food was...

We managed to get a table quickly and easily on a busy Easter Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch, despite not booking. Cosy friendly atmosphere with attentive staff. We had the 2 course lunch menu with drink,which was great value. Tom yum soup with tofu,...

Second visit, won’t be last. Tasty tasty food at reasonable prices. Not at all romantic as decor basic but food is spot on. Both times we’ve been it’s been quiet when we’ve arrived ( about 530 ), but queuing to get a seat when we’ve...

Good price, excellent food good deals as we went at happy hour, only thing that could be improved was more sauce or seasoning

Food was great but me and my partner were bullied into ordering mains before we had even finished our starters. The young male (number 4) stated that his boss had said that we needed to order! We did state that we weren’t ready but he...

Amazing Thai food and experience! This isn’t the place to go if you’re wanting a romantic meal however for an authentic Thai experience get yourself here. A really busy buzzing place that’s only quite small. Not sure if you can book but we managed to...

The three of us ordered massman curry, yellow curry and tom yum. All very good and the regular portion was large. Full for hours. Great value and lucky find.

We were walking by and simply decided on this Thai restaurant as the menu looked good. Set up as a two course set menu for under a tenner. Good portions, we were full for hours. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Leeds.

Visited with my two children and we each ordered the two course set menu. Large portions, delicious. Great value. Was a popular place as we got the last open table for Sunday lunch.

Superb red Thai curry and fiskcakes. Small restaurant, friendly, nice atmosphere, good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Recent reviews show cause for consideration if it is worth while eating here. IT IS WORTHWHILE Needing gluten-free food, we checked if I could eat in and was told, yes it’s fine. I was advised curries were not a choice due to the paste they...

This was at the one on vicar lane …..Foods shocking !!!! Chicken was boiled and sweaty skin and bone left on and in it was I told them about it the staff said I had to ask for it another way if wanted it with...

First visit since before lockdown and expansion of the restaurant and new sister restaurants... Signs are worrying that maybe it isn't what it used to be. I have always said Mommy Thai is the most authentic Thai restaurant in Leeds and the food is as...

Well what can I say this place as gone down hill. I've been coming here for a few years now always lovely but the last few times terrible they have done the exact same as My Thai another place I use to go extended there...

Stunning food as usual, we've tried the other Thai restaurants in Leeds and they don't compare, highly recommended and so glad they now take credit card!

I have been going to Mommy Thai for years but lately since the opening of a second branch in Leeds and a branch in York standards have slipped significantly. I asked for a dish to be made mild with less sauce. The waitress did not...

Love the food and warm atmosphere at this place, its authentic and really well priced (especially for city centre location) try the tofu Khao Soi for some hearty comfort food

We went to mommy Thai for dinner the food was ok it was busy we were a party of 4 Three of us received our food but they had forgot about the 4th person after telling two members of staff it arrived.we found the food...

Very flavoursome food...all the classics but a few less obvious dishes too..every dish was v v good.....had 3 starters 3 mains 2 rounds of drinks...20 quid a head...bargain !!

Bangkok comes to Leeds My wife and I visited Friday evening having read reviews and we wasn't disappointed the food served in this 11 table establishment was amazing just like parts of Bangkok we have salt and pepper ribs mmm to start followed by a...

I'm absolutely gutted - I had a really horrible experience at Mommy Thai, Vicar Lane last week. I love Mommy Thai - I think their food is phenomenal, and they have always gone above and beyond to cater for me as a coeliac. However, last...

Visited Mommy Thai on Vicar Lane on Saturday early evening. The restaurant was nice and quiet. We ordered 3 starters (plus prawn crackers), followed by 2 mains. The tempura prawns and the garlic and pepper ribs were very tasty. The spring rolls were exceptional and...

Really nice food. Tasted delicious and good size potions. Service was a little lacking, we were sat at a dirty table and it was not cleaned before our food arrived. I also had to go looking for somebody to take my order but would go...

Great food great service sat outside which was great just over the road from our hotel and the grand try the prawns absolutely delicious

The Thai mommy food is absolutely fantastic I order full Menu dishes was amazing Please not missing the restaurant

Excellent friendly service and fresh, tasty food. Great value lunch menu (2 courses for£7.95). Recommend the Thai lemon iced tea.

Food was brilliant here and great value. Better than all the other Thai restaurants in town. Felt really authentic. Staff were friendly. Food was AMAZING.

First thing I need to say is don’t be put off by this little road side eatery, it’s quaint inside, very basic tables and chairs but that’s what gives this place superb character. Let me also say you will be hard pushed to find a...

I never really went for Thai food and these had good reviews so checked them out when I moved to Leeds. BLOWN away with the quality and we've become regular customers - 10/10 recommend

I arranged for my family and I to eat here for a belated birthday treat. When we arrived we had a time choosing from the substantial menu. The waiter who took our order was initially very friendly. All of us are either vegetarian or pescatarian...

I have wonderful experience here with good Thai dishes, comes with really affordable price compareing with others Thai restaurants. The staff was so nice and professional.

Stumbled across this Thai restaurant while looking for somewhere to eat on Bank Holiday Sunday. We got seated straight away and were able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. Perfectly situated in the sun with plenty of tables which was ideal! Service was very...

Superb food - taste, presentation and service top notch! Thanks for the recommendation from the waiter too. Great value too

What was a fantastic Thai restaurant, seems to have expanded over lockdown and the quality and attention to detail has since gone downhill, not the same restaurant as before lockdown. Smaller portions and lower quality, such a shame!

Visited during the new easing of the lockdown where we had to be seated outside. A tent is put up to keep the weather out, and the tables well spaced out with hand sanitizer available. Staff were pleasant, and friendly - order was taken quickly...

The wait to be able to eat inside was so worth it . Food was amazing as always and the staff are incredible. Great place just to go eat and catch up with friends

Stumbled across this place as we walked through Leeds and had availability without needing to book. Starters came quickly and along with the main course were delicious, very reasonably priced and staff were friendly. Looking forward to going again.

Had a takeaway recently but also been for their lunch deal. The quality of the food is spot on, with great portion sizes and extremely fairly priced. The menu is also pretty extensive - the only downside is that it's hard choosing what to have!

A welcome addition with 2 locations now in Leeds. Food always good and speedy service, prices very fair. Nice atmosphere. Well recommended.

Tasty, authentic Thai food at very good prices. Closest thing to a small restaurant in Thailand as you’ll get - super relaxed cozy atmosphere

The food and service here are excellent for the price. One of the best Thai restaurants I've ever been to.
