Oh. My. Word. If…read moreyou're after decadence, this is your huckleberry. If you're after the cool slightly kitsch vibe, akin to Big Trouble In Little China, let's go Lopan hunting. (The weird columns with columns revealed underneath give me that impression.) If you're after a feast fit for warriors, modern ones who traverse the landscape of Leeds, then x marks the spot just here. I've been but the once, but that was enough to leave me yearning for more. The occasion was a friend's birthday. Our initial options had failed us, and this was right there, so we chose to descend. Being about 3pm in the afternoon the place was entirely empty, so it was a little bit of an unusual experience. Even so, every member of staff was fantastic, and treated us beautifully. We ordered the Prosecco, as it was on an afternoon deal (I forget how much), and drank that whilst perusing the extensive menu. Let me start by saying, if you're indecisive, brace yourself. There's hoards to decipher, and adventurous menu by all accounts, and even features frogs legs and birds nest soup. I was not so brave, and tried neither this visit, but as a personal challenge I think I should come back and give them a go. Our initial plan was to order several of the dishes under a fiver, and pick and mix. After listing about three dishes our waiter looked concerned and asked if we were still ordering more... We soon realised that four dishes was more than enough to feed a small army. Forgive me for forgetting every single item, but let me attempt to describe them. We had a peppery fish soup, which was gelatinous and thick, and not really my thing. (Not a seafood fan, but my friend adored it.) We also had the salt and pepper chicken wings, which were plentiful, greasy, and really delicious. If you're watching your weight, avoid - napkins were used every time to clean off the oil from our fingers. We also had a delectable dish of mushrooms, that was incredible, and an unforgettable (I realise the irony of forgetting its name) dish of crispy spicy beef. This was the pièce de résistance - every mouthful was incredible, but eat it quick as it's tastier when it's hot. Defeated, way before we finished, our lovely waiter asked if we'd like to take the remainder home - so never fear if you're one for waste not want not. Sadly, being as we were going for yet another birthday meal that evening, we couldn't take the food with us. On a more bizarre note, since the place was empty whilst we dined, it was curious that the waiting staff stood about 3 feet from our table during the whole meal. It didn't bother me, but I'm sure they could hear all the silly conversation we were having! Regardless, I imagine when full, this situation doesn't happen. (And as I mentioned before, they were all really lovely.) In any case, once again I've written more than you could probably digest, mirroring my ordering style, so I'll leave it there. Essentially, this is a fantastic restaurant, with incredible menus, lovely staff, great lunch deals and really quirky cool décor. It's a new favourite, and I want to come back! Lunch, anyone?

I'm still on the quest for a really great Thai delivery. Leeds has no shortage of places that serve…read moredelicious Thai food to eat in, or take away, but when one doesn't drive or live right next to a great spot you rely on food being transported to your door. (Especially when you've just moved, and have no pans.) Whilst looking for tea last night on that well known food ordering site, I came across these chaps. I've often walked past and meant to try them out, since it looks authentic by all accounts, so it was time to take the plunge. And when I say it looks authentic, I mean it doesn't look like it caters semi-capably at all ranges of cuisine - it's a pure Thai spot. I was delighted when I saw on the menu that you could pick up Thai Iced Coffee too - it's a favourite of mine, and I'd highly recommend it if you a) like coffee and b) have a sweet tooth. Sadly, about half an hour before the food was to come, they phoned to let me know there was none available, so I settled for my money back. I'll have to try again another time! I ordered a Thai Green Curry (my usual) and keenly anticipated its arrival. They were about 15 minutes late with the food, maybe more, which was a little odd since I'm pretty sure I ordered just after they opened - perhaps they're popular? Not the best sign, but I can forgive it on the first time ordering. The food that came was grand. Not super special, I have to admit (certainly compared to a few others in Leeds), but down right decent. It's better than any other delivery Thai food I've had in Leeds, mind. It tasted like actual green curry, which many other spots did not! (I recall a really weird gloopy experience at another place that resembled tasteless jelly more than it did edible food.) The chicken was plentiful, the sauce was great, and it was a large enough portion for me to be unable to finish. As an added bonus (and because you've to order over a tenner to get delivery) I got some chips. Yup, a bit weird with Thai, but let me tell you - totally worth it. They were really good chips! So, would I order again? Yes. I'll try the Pad Thai next, and let you know what I reckon.

It's the only thai restaurant I've found that really tastes like proper Thai cooking. The cafe's run by two lovely Thai ladies who are very friendly and the service is always quick and efficient. My only gripe (and the reason I haven't given it five stars) is that the portions are a little on the small side for the price they charge. However the food is good quality which is probably the reason why.

All dishes on our menu are small plates. We recommend ordering 3 dishes per person (or more if youre hungry) and sharing all dishes with the table so you can enjoy all the flavours Thai food has to offer." Thai food is one of the hubby and my favorite cuisines. AND I love to sample and share new foods. Perfect! We chose the following: 1) Moo Grop sauce Makarm (Crispy pork belly with spicy tamarind sauce) 2) Jaw Rang (Prawns with coconut milk, fresh turmeric, lemongrass & chilli) 3) Pad Thai Pra To Pee (Pad Thai noodles with egg, beansprouts and chives) 4) Coconut Rice 5) The special: Khao soi (a coconut curry noodle soup) Angie was our server. I told her what I liked and asked her what on the menu would best meet my expectations. She was right on the mark. (Of course the hubby ordered his normal - Pad Thai.) It took a little while to get our order, but they were extremely busy. And they were making specific dishes just for us. The dishes were unique. The chef made them his own and each one was delicious. This was a hit with both the hubby and me. The restaurant is very small with limited seating. We walked in without a reservation on a Wednesday night at 7:30 and , thankfully, they squeezed us in. My suggestion is to call ahead for a reservation. You will be glad you did. Yum.

After the success of our recent trip to Ho's Bakery; curiosity, hunger and indecision powered my…read moreOther Half and I into trying their restaurant on a recent Sunday afternoon. Located on Vicar Lane, Ho's Bar & Restaurant is open seven days a week, serving a mixture of Chinese and Szechuan cuisine. When entering the restaurant, there were a few promising signs. Firstly, most of the clientele were Chinese, the sounds of their beautiful language wafting through the air. This does prove a certain degree of faith in the quality of the cooking. The decor was inviting, the darkness of the room making the black and red tones seem sultry and rich. Through sheer laziness and after being lured by the value, we decided to go for the set dinner for two people. After ordering, we were swiftly presented with some appetising chicken and sweetcorn soup. The dish was very sweet, but not synthetically so, the freshness of the vegetable exuded natural sugars. On its completion, a plate of spring rolls and honey-glazed ribs arrived, accompanied with some seaweed. The spring rolls were unrecognisable from the greasy and innocuous abominations served at shoddy buffets across the country, the crunchiness of the vegetables provided a pleasant surprise. I often find eating ribs to be a messy process, resulting in dirty fingers and a lingering hunger. The example at Ho's was the inverse of this, with the large quantity of meat slipping off the bone. The seaweed was slightly too sugary, but this was a minor quibble. The main course comprised of sweet and sour pork, beef with green peppers in black bean sauce and some egg fried rice. Although we found the pork slightly chewy, the generous wedges of chargrilled pineapple were delicious. The beef dish was packed with flavour, the garlic perfectly complimenting the saltiness of the black beans. There was not a hint of greasiness in the rice, and the egg was light and fluffy. The monetary value of this feast was extraordinary. From a venue which I consider to be of genuine quality, as opposed to the copious amount of imposters crowding the high street with gloopy sauces and limp vegetables, the entire meal cost £15. I think if we had ordered our favourite dishes from the menu instead of being tempted by the convenience of the set menu, Ho's may have received even higher praise. This is a sterling excuse to revisit Ho's however, something I shall be doing expeditiously.

Then we had three main dishes to share, lamb, beef and crispy chicken. We finished with a plate of fresh fruit to share. The service was quick, polite and very friendly. A lot of the customers in the restaurant were chinese so in my book, this shows that it must be good! The restaurant is upstairs in the building as downstairs there is a bakery. I didn't get chance to look down here as we were pushed for time but it was really busy throughout our meal. We sat on a balcony part that overlooks the bakery and the decor is black, red and beech. It looks really stylish inside and would be a great place for a special meal.
