About Khaosan Road Thai Tapas
Khaosan Road Thai Tapas is a Thai restaurant at 50-52 Walmgate in York, serving tapas-style small plates meant for sharing, with each diner choosing a couple of dishes for the table. Blossoms hang from trees in the bistro, even in the toilets, and the room also has candles, traditional wall mirrors and framed pictures. The menu includes seafood dishes, spicy beef noodles and banana fritters. A lunchtime offer pairs two tapas dishes with a boiled rice. Thai people run the restaurant, and staff leave a copy of the order on the table after taking it.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return to the shared tapas format, choosing several dishes each and passing them round, and one group of four describes ordering eight different dishes with plenty for everyone. Reviewers single out the seafood dishes, spicy beef noodles and banana fritters by name, and several mention ordering extra after the first plates arrived. Food is described as beautiful and incredible, and several say it came promptly without feeling rushed. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and the blossom-style interior draws praise, including in the toilets. One reviewer who calls it the finest Thai meal outside Thailand notes that a copy of the order is left on the table to check against deliveries. The one critical account describes being ignored for 25 to 30 minutes while staff complained about how busy it was, then finding the portions small, the quality lacking and the prawn crackers missing from the order. That reviewer also found no check-backs because staff were closing down, though the flavours were perfectly nice. The same visit ended with the dog being welcome at the table.

“AMAZING. Beautiful place and stunning food. We had between the 4 of us a selection and all were Beautiful dishes perfectly executed. Even the wine was amazing too. The staff were really tentative and filled up the table water when almost empty. Highly reccomend.”

“Genuinely exceptional meal, flawless dishes, served by friendly, attentive and professional staff. Run by Thai people, was truly the finest Thai meal I've had outside Thailand, and better than many that I've had over there. When they take the order they leave a copy of it on your table for reference, so any mistakes are easy to spot, and the staff can confirm they have the right table as they deliver. An excellent evening.”
