Chaophraya

Long overdue review. Really want to give a shout out to our host Julia who did an absolutely sterling job handling a large group of 9 of us, doing laps of the restaurant to get from one end of the table to another. Fantastic ambience, and food was very well appreciated by our entire party. The erstwhile Chaophraya in Manchester was a firm favourite of mine so was delighted to find the Aberdeen location not only has the same great decor, food but service as well. Well worth it and easily my number 1 recommendation for a Thai chain.

We booked here for valentine’s day in advance with the request to sit beside each other. When we arrived we were shown to a booth and they had made sure we could sit beside each other which was great. The waitress, Ellie, was really accommodating and lovely. Our food was fantastic. We ordered from the ordinary menu not the set valentines one and the price was very reasonable for the quality of food. Great experience with lovely staff. :)

I still haven't got my head around how the name of this restaurant should be pronounced, the best I can do is "kao - fi - ray - a" but what is certain this is a great restaurant in the wonderful granite city, the restaurant seems to be a refurbished bank on a scale of a cathedral to Thai food with golden exotic statues gracing several key points. The atmosphere is intoxicating far eastern promise, and must represent a significant investment in design and execution. Service was gracious and attentive at all times by Mairi. We feasted on Prawn Tom Yum and Kha, pork tenderloin, duck tamarind, coconut rice and jasmine rice plus two large bottles of Singaha for an all up cost of £66, and very good value.

First time eating here, two of us went for a pre-theatre meal on a Saturday. Food was lovely, maybe a little bit over-priced though, especially for the veggie selection. Service was good, though the wait between starters and mains was a bit long. Will definitely visit again to try more of the menu!

Great food and atmosphere. Just as we thought service was slow the waitress came over as the kitchen had mixed our order up and offered us another drink.2 mins later food came. Really enjoyed the Thai Green curry. Definitely recommend
