Welcome to sukhothai

Few chefs in the country understand Thai cuisine like our Executive Chef and Owner, Ban Kaewkraikhot. After moving to the UK, Ban brought her passion for authentic Thai cooking to Yorkshire, opening the very first Sukhothai in the heart of Chapel Allerton in 2002.

For over 23 years, Sukhothai has remained proudly independent and deeply rooted in Yorkshire. Ban’s vision has always been simple – to combine imaginative yet authentic Thai cuisine with warm, attentive service, using only the finest and freshest Thai ingredients, paired with local Yorkshire produce.

What began as a single neighbourhood restaurant has grown into a trusted local brand, built on Ban’s dedication, our loyal customers, and a love of genuine Thai hospitality.
