  “Went with friends for lunch on 5pm.voucher. Had issues inputting voucher code. Had to phone restaurant and wait thru 5 minutes of rubbish before call was answered. Lunch was oK food could have been warmer. Serving plates could have been warmer. The restaurant decor is absolutely fabulous, extraordinary, but wasn't overly comfortable hestwise. Our table was beside entrance. All the place needs is a bit of warmth. Staff very friendly .Service was slow, drinks took an age. I declined service charge( which was never mentioned anywhere). Great potential, but needs comments addressed”

  “Pros - Great Ambience. - Great Service. Annie was great in her service. The lady and the guy at the reception were great too. - Great Appetizers. We had Vegetarian soup and Chicken Appetizers. Both were great in taste and quantity. We also had Wine and Beer. Quantity was good. Cons - Mains were not that appealing as we found them to be less spicy. We ordered the Chicken Green Thai Curry. It had raw peas and cut vegetables but the curry was blank. The chicken in it was not that well cooked.”

  “I usually don't write reviews but I think the restaurant deserves to know what to improve here. When walking into the place you get the feeling of a bit of a luxury thai fine dining experience. The personnel are very nice and welcoming which is why I give this a 2 star experience. Me and my wife ordered "Tom Kha Gai" (Coconut style soup with chicken) and Gang Keaw Wan (Green curry with chicken). As thai I can say that when you eat Tom Kha Gai you want the mix of Coconut flavour mixed with lime, palm sugar and galangal which gives you a flavour kick when you taste it to eat with rice. The soup was very pale and had pretty much no flavour unfortunately. Also the portion was very small.. it was just 5-6 small pieces of chicken in the soup. Green curry was mostly sweet and had no "green curry" paste taste and also there was cucumber which never is added into a green curry dish originally. Also its missing the basil flavour here as well. If you're outside Thailand usually you can compensate with aubergine. Also in this dish I do think it was quite small. Jasmine rice was good though, but you get quite a lot so make sure you don't order too many here. Also the spring rolls was good. I've tried a lot of different thai restaurants and I think for the price and what we got I can't say it was a great food experience. You can do better! But big creds to the service.”

  “We did a Street food cooking experience, it was great fun. We were shown how to make Tom Yum soup and Pad Thai. The chef Nu was brilliant. Our food turned out lovely. We had a welcome drink on arrival and got to take our Chaophraya aprons home. Great idea for a gift.”

  “Went for the cooking class and thoroughly enjoyed it. Free beer and prosecco were a nice addition, but the main event of getting to cook Tom Yum Thai soup and. Pad Thai Noodles; and then eat them was great. The food was delicious. The staff were really helpful, friendly and gave us quite a bit of interesting information about Thai food as we cooked. Would definitely recommend and will probably go back to learn how to cook the other menu.”

  “Located in a stunning red brick building—formerly a gentleman’s club and the Royal Conservatory of Music—Chaophraya is a true architectural gem on Buchanan Street. We had walked past this magnificent building many times and finally decided to step inside for lunch. The interior is breathtaking. The restaurant seamlessly blends heritage features, like the high plaster-carved ceilings of the original ballroom, with golden Thai deities. It feels like stepping into a fascinating Asian world right in the heart of Glasgow. The Food: * Starters: We began with the spring rolls and fried prawn cakes. The cakes were authentic enough to rival the ones we’ve had in Thailand! The complimentary bottomless prawn crackers were a delicious, crispy bonus. * Mains: Our favorites, the Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice, were incredibly sumptuous. The aromas immediately transported us back to our culinary adventures abroad—not a single grain of rice or noodle were left on our plates. * Dessert: We finished with the Mango Sticky Rice. It was the perfect sweet, authentic end to the meal. Service & Atmosphere: Our server was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. After eating, we explored the different dining areas and the VIP whisky bar. It truly felt like a time-traveling journey between Scotland's history and Thailand's culture. A must-visit for authentic Thai cuisine in a spectacular setting!”

  “I met with some friends. The food was lovely. It's easily amongst the best I've ever had. Thai food is usually full of flavour but this was excellent. The beef was so tender and the prawns had just a tiny crunch to them which I like and there were so many other flavourful ingredients in there. The staff were friendly and very polite. They patiently helped us figure out what meal was whose in our confusion of the dishes names. The meals did take a while to come but I wouldn't know how long these dishes would take to cook. The cost of the meal though is much more than I would usually pay but would do so every other blue moon, eclipsing the sun. If I had a better income I could see me being regular. That said I was happy to pay for the experience as not only was the food exquisite but the old building, some very modern utilities and the Thai themed decor combined to be very elegant and it made for a great atmosphere along with good company at the table.”
