My first time at Chaophraya and I would definitely return. It seemed busy for a Monday. The food was tasty, all my party loved their meals. I thought the portions were good, I even had some to take home. Three of us shared a sharing platter which definitely had enough to go around and such a great variety.

Great Thai restaurant in Birmingham city centre. Great views of the cathedral from inside the restaurant and a lovely atmosphere. Very relaxing inside. Staff where very busy but did there best to accommodate for us. We waited around 15 minutes before we were asked what drinks we would like. Food was great, but the sharing starter plater for £22 in my opinion was very small in size. The mains where perfect size portions and the pineapple rice was fantastic. My partner’s chicken was quite bland and tasteless but overall the food was of great quality and delicious. The reason for the 4 star review is mainly due to the cost. Almost £80 for what we hand seems a bit overpriced compared to other similar restaurants we have been too. Generally good experience. Thank you.

I loved this place. Felt so authentic. The staff are Very welcoming and always smiling. Manager catered to our needs. Chicken and duck is halal. We ordered a few items off the menu and it didn’t disappoint. Very delicious and flavourful. Place was very clean. Decor is nice. I would highly recommend this place.

It had been quite some time since my last visit, but today I had the pleasure of returning to this lovely establishment for a Networking Lunch. I must say, the service was impeccable, even when I accidentally knocked over and shattered a glass of orange juice - they handled it with grace. Now, let's talk about the food; I'll let my photos speak for themselves. Each dish was a feast for the eyes, and I can assure you it tasted just as delicious as it looked. I also rediscovered the delightful flavors of Thai beers during my visit. In the spirit of research, I tried two different bottles, and they did not disappoint. 😋 I wholeheartedly recommend this place, and I can't wait to come back for a full meal with all the delicious trimmings. It's an experience you won't want to miss!

The beef with red curry was very good , I tried the dry aged duck salad and it was quite crunchy and nice .I also recommend A little bit more salad dressing. The chicken with rice noodles had a smoking taste which was actually not quite bad you could improve the taste of the noodles by frying more. My girlfriend like the rice with mango and coconut. We also take some cocktails which were but not strong enough for my taste. I would also prefer bigger glasses and less ice 2,3 ice cubes is enough. You can improve the quality of the cocktails by taking some ice out and adding some more interesting ingredients.

All the same cooked chicken served with different sauce, it is ok but my Khua Kling which is the spiciest was not spicy at all but it was tasting spicy towards the end. But the atmosphere is good.

Went here for lunch, and the food was lovely and flavoursome. We were seated outside quite quickly. I had the alcohol free cocktails and they were AMAZING ! the reason for me giving this place 5 stars is due to the service I received from my waiter. Everything was great and will defo be going back here . Great location aswell !

Lovely place and experience, we were greeted very warmly upon entering. Ordered the pad thai (cant remember the other thing) which I absolutely loved. Service was top-notch throughout. Great place to try for anyone who fancies thai food.

Good food 👍

Fantastic service, Covid friendly, quick , very polite and professional staff. Very Authentic Thai food and best of all they serve Halal Chicken. My whole family loved it. Highly recommended

I was really looking forward to an authentic Thai meal and the reviews for this restaurant were amazing. I've lived in Thailand so am familiar with the flavours and dishes. We ordered prawn crackers, a vegetable platter to share (starter), prawn tom yam and chicken pad thai. The started was full of fried assortments not very flavourful and very greasy. Had to wipe the grease off with napkins before eating. Tom yam is my favourite soup but this one didn't taste right tge balance of spicy, sour and sweet wasn't there and my prawns were overcooked. The pad thai was ok but bland. I asked to change the tom yam because I wasn't happy with it and ordered egg fried rice with prawns. This dish was much better but a whipping £12.45 which was the price of pineapple fried rice. Overall wasn't pleased and the food is overpriced here. Not authentic Thai food. Such a shame as I was really looking forward to it. To add, I felt that proximity of other customers very close more space needed to socially distance.

Great ambiance and really good food!

Looks pretty but taste like rubber fish. Sea bass wasn’t that great either.

I just like their food. I always get excellent service there. The place is neat and the workers are always very kind. I highly recommend this place.

Great food and service

Rather tasty 🥵💦🙊

My First Experience of Thai Food. Our friends went to Chaophraya in Edinburgh and loved it. Although Chaophraya is a chain, it seems each one is slightly different. This particular venue had a nice ambiance and decor, setting a chilled mood. We were welcomed to sit upstairs. A nice spacious area. A very broad menu, organised very well, but so hard to know what to choose with the many options. The only place I have ever been to that have Frangelico on the drinks menu! A definite winner! A ‘must try’ beverage! My food option was very good and the additional egg fried rice didn’t disappoint either. Sadly my wife wasn’t too keen. The service is friendly too. They’re observant and considerate assisting where possible, very well. Although there does seem to be a lot of waiters/waitresses standing around watching you eat, making it slightly uncomfortable. The toilet areas are clean and regularly checked maintaining a clean standard. Parking is ample too. There are plenty of places to park, walking distance from the restaurant. Thai food wouldn’t be my personal first option but if you’re into Thai food, then this maybe the place for you. Easy location, good food, good vibez and very very reasonably priced. As a Google reviewer in the top 10% of reviewers for eateries we were also granted a 15% discount which was very kind. Thank you to all staff at Chaophraya.

Very busy on a Saturday. So booking needed. Our waitress was very polite and the food was good. I wouldn't say it was great but definitely OK and prices are not too bad, they also give nhs discount which is great. The pic is of the tamarind duck.

Food was amazing, we shared one of the set menus, was all served hot and fresh. Portion sizes are generous also. Had a ring of fire cocktail which was also really good. Only negative was we requested the leftover food be boxed to go but instead they threw it away. They did apologise and gave us some money back. Will defo be returning in the future.

I first visited around my birthday as the second choice option… it should have been the first. It was so good I returned another 2 times in 3 weeks. The food is out of this world, the service is lovely and the atmosphere is super nice. I cannot wait to come back. One of my favourite restaurants. The beef to start… the pork noodles for main and then their lovely fruit fondue for dessert!

A girls night out with great food a warm atmosphere and kicker drinks! I can’t believe how many times I have passed by here and have only just decided to try. The staff were welcoming and very attentive great customer service. They unfolded the napkins and placed in our lap. The drinks were the highlight of the night so beautiful. 2 for 1 special definitely worth it if you can handle the alcohol. The Mai Tai is a boss! I definitely recommend

We ordered spring rolls and the king scollops, mango and black pudding. Spring rolls were amazing but the scallops were tiny and overcooked(chewy). The proportion of ingredients were off with way too much black pudding which made the dish rich and sickly. 2 portions rather than 3 would have been enough. The restaurant were out of prawns which for a Thai restaurant was so disappointing as we had to change our first choice dishes. The mains though didn’t disappoint, the crispy Seabass was sublime and couldn’t fault the chicken pad Thai and stir fry vegetables, this definitely made up for the starter.Service was also very good. If it hadn’t been for there being no prawns I may have scored slightly higher.

It was great

Great Thai food and cocktails, had an amazing view of the Cathedral while sitting inside. Would recommend for trying a new food cuisine. Zero complains all the staff members were incredible and l love the chocolates at the end at the sticky rice mango dessert was great.

It was a great experience eating Thai food 🥘 the restaurant looks amazing and clean. The staff are not fully friendly and not full training but it ok 👌 The decoration of the food looks delicious 😋 and colourful but why DON’T feel the tasty PAD THAI CHICKEN, which always serves as watery or dry? Other food tastes were delicious and amazing 😻 best is CHAO PLATTER. Thinking to visit once again #CHAOPHRAYA_THAI_RESTAURANT_BIRMINGHAM

We did the lunch special three course. Good price for the amount of food. Green curry and pad Thai were very tasty. The sorbet flavors were delicious as well. Nice ambiance, quiet and nice music. Fun part of town, big windows for natural light. Would eat in again next time in Bham

went for the tacos chicken starter, but it is like sloggy pastry. had the main with rice and it was served in a small dish bowl like a dish for cat. would love them to serve in a plate etc. the rest of the food is nice. good and friendly servers.

Really great experience. The lunch menu is well priced for the quality and ambiance of the restaurant. I got two courses and they were both excellent. Those Thai tacos are one of the best things I’ve had in a long time. The menu said the curry would be very spicy, but it was perfect. Definitely tuned to British tastes. The server was kind, and very warm and helpful. 10/10 experience

Excellent meal here. Google seems to have lost my full review. However, to repeat briefly, this was a fine dining experience. Service and food were excellent and a nice ambience. Starters were substantive and first class, and Pad Thai was excellent compared to other experiences. We dined indoors but outdoor seating too if you like people strolling by in a busy area. If in Birmingham, we would definitely revisit.

My favourite Thai place. I have been here many times and I have tasted many dishes and have never been disappointed. So much to choose from the menu, you'd be spoilt for choice! Quick service. I have never had to wait to be seated and usually go in a large group. Definitely a place to go to if you want to enjoy awesome Thai food.

Beautiful restaurant with different options to seat (indoors, outdoors or balcony). Some good discounted deals midweek for food and cocktails. Good and timely service.

Absolutely divine place! The staff are so friendly and hospitable, the food and drinks are delicious and so authentic! Booked a table for myself and my husband recently for dinner. This being the second time but the first time was for lunch and I can only say that the service and food were amazing on both occasions! Thank you for treating us to a lovely evening. We will be returning soon. 10/10

I really like this restaurant! 😋 The food is very tasty. I love both the lunch options & the dinner options. Our waitress, Snoek, was really lovely too! 🥰 Thank you! Excellent service from all staff. So kind, helpful, patient, friendly & knowledgeable regarding the dishes.

Great restaurant for winter or summer. Good atmosphere and decor inside, upstairs and down. Very clean and comfortable. In the summer there are outdoor options on the balcony upstairs and also downstairs. Excellent service from greeting through to service and speed. We have tried several dishes and everything is a very high standard.

An absolutely lovely place with super friendly staff. We had dinner for two which included bottomless drinks. An amazing sharing for two starter called Chaophraya, which included every delicious starter you could think of, and a Thai green curry and crispy chicken with cashew nuts as main. I cannot recommend it enough. A special nod to our waiter Pop who was just amazing, friendly, and very helpful.

My husband and I attended a cooking class and it was just amazing. The session was such good fun and I would definitely go again, I’d also love to attend to enjoy a yummy meal too.

Located in Central Birmingham opposite St Martins Church, the restaurant stands out at night when lit up over 2 levels. The restaurant boasts a very modern and chic alfresco dining experience with friendly staff on board throughout the visit to help who were also very attentive. The venue has distanced its tables accordingly with screens between them and sanitiser avaliable as well as participating in NHS Test and Trace. It was not too busy at the time I went today. I entered the restaurant and was greeted and shown to my table promptly. I'm never actually tried a Thai restaurant before so this was a first for me. All staff were wearing appropriate PPE. There's an open kitchen on view in this restaurant which is lovely if you want to see how your food is prepared. Its also very bright in here with loads of bespoke lighting arrangements. A little enclosed fish tank also brightens up the interior. It had a very authentic Thai feel to it in my opinion. Loads of Buddha heads everywhere. Today I had the following; -- Starter: Chicken Satay The classic with peanut sauce and Thai sweet relish. You could smell it as it was delivered with that strong satay smell to them. The chicken was extremely tender and near enough melted in your mouth. The peanut sauce accompanied this well but I didn't see any Thai sweet relish. A bit of veg on the side was a lovely touch to this starter. -- Main: Crispy Pork Belly Pork belly, sugar snap peas and peppers mixed with fresh chillies, garlic and hot basil leaves. This looked very fresh and appetising when it came to the table. This was quite a spicy dish which was just right for me given that I'm used to spicy foods. The pork belly was exceptionally tender and firm when digging into it. The combination of this and the spice with seasonal veg made it a very gorgeous meal to enjoy. I also added some stir fry seasonal vegetables which consisted of Pak Choi, sugar snap peas (love them😍), tenderstem broccoli, mushrooms and carrots to accompany. These tasted great and took me away from the traditional rice or noodles that I am accustomed to at home. -- Overall this cost £18.90 after EOTHO. Soft drinks are on the expensive side in here costing £3.85 for a 330ml bottle of Diet Coke. The food is very reasonably priced even before the discount. Service was spot on. It was quite cute how all staff members had an actual name badge on in here. I asked my host a few questions about the menu and they demonstrated excellent knowledge on hand about recommendations for what I might like. They were also very enthusiastic and friendly. Toilets were nice and compact with little touches to improve the area such as the flowers in the corner and the waterfall sinks. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant ☺ 10/10 #eatouttohelpout September

Lovely food, super lovely staff

Very tasty Thai food but everything is a bit overpriced for the quantity given.

Very tasty food but very expensive

Recommended red curry👍🏻

The food was amazing

Fantastic food, can't recommend this place highly enough 🙂🙂

Birmingham establishment review. Recently visited this Restaurant with 4 others and we all loved the food. Not only represented deliciously but as delicious as it looked. The best part was how we were greeted and received, the staff were very polite and welcoming and did not rush us about. They also didn't come to ask how the food was 3 minutes into still waiting for it to cooldown haha! Which is great as that can be annoying. Overall: Very satisfied with everything and definitely would visit again if I am ever in Birmingham another time.

Good food

I remember coming here around February, and the food I had has stuck with me - it was delicious: fresh and flavoursome. I am looking forward to when I can go again!

Not as Covid save as I would like. The front door should be kept open for ventilation and the waiter puts the cutlery down but is touching the ends of them... the cutlery should already be kept and places on the table.. the food was good but didnt feel covid safe.

Luscious Thai food in a spacious dinning area and friendly service. Tender ribs and grilled pork starters. Absolutely enjoyed the curries - nice and creamy with a spicy kick. One of the best authentic green curries I've had. All meat dishes are fantastically tender and soft. It's unfortunate that they ran out of mango sticky rice dessert which I could've given a 5 star for. This is a great Thai restaurant conveniently located about 5 mins walk from grand Central station.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, food was good. We had the Chaophraya platter for two which was £9.95 per person, I dont believe this was worth nearly £20 as it was very small, other than that it was good. Also had the dumplings starter which was £8.95, pad thai and a noodle dish ( forgotten the name of the dish).

Appalling service and quality from this restaurant, my Deliveroo order was missing an item and the items that were delivered were inedible due to the lack of and/or bitter taste. Chicken was too dry, lamb smelt off and the seafood udon noodles tasted bitter. I was compelled to order a takeaway from elsewhere and bin the rubbish this restaurant deemed suitable to deliver to us. Never again - stay away!

Perfectly located with amazing view. One of the best Thai food I have ever tasted (trust me when I say that). Great service and rates are also good. Try their customized fusion recipes, it's very good and innovative. Desserts could have been a bit better but that's alright considering how amazing the starters and mains were.

Really enjoyable meal here. Had the dumplings starter and pork belly main course. The service was good and it was a nice atmosphere. I would visit again. Although it's a bit pricey.

Went during the Eat Out To Help - really friendly service and everything was super clean. Food was delicious but wouldn’t say it has that super authentic Thai taste (same with their Newcastle branch). Otherwise, the environment is lovely and it has gorgeous decorations.

Delicious food Friendly professional staff The deco was gorgeous

First time visiting here, booking was made a week in advance as the government eat out to help out discount was on tonight. We ordered a kids pad Thai and a kids chicken satay meal which came with 2 sticks of chicken so we ended up ordering a starter of chicken satay stick which came with 4 because the kids loved them. Both had ice cream for dessert. We also ordered an adult chicken pad Thai, beef red curry and a papaya salad. Drinks were a large pomegranate, non alcoholic watermelon cocktail thing and kids had orange squash. Service was quick and girl serving us was very polite and patient with the kids, she was helpful for anything we needed too. The food was very nice tasting but I do feel the spice has been lowered to accommodate more of a westerners pallet but overall it was still lovely. I would defiantly recommend anyone to try this place and I hope to visit again in the future. Price wise I would say it’s a little on the expensive side if we had not been using the government discount.

I regularly stop by grabbing some food in this spot. I liked the swift service and well prepared food. 5 stars.

Really nice food and the staff are really helpful and polite x

Loved it

Not the best food, not the worst. Although, the sirloin steak is a bit of a joke for 20£ + 3£ for frozen chips. Waitresses were friendly, noodles were nice.

I highly recommend great food and service is very good!

some of the chicken dishes are amazing, seafood also nice

Nice food, warm reception, and reasonable price, will visit again 😀

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Very good food, an explosion of flavors. (Original) Comida muito boa, uma explosão de sabores.

Had the duck taramind - was exceptional. Service was great and food came out very quickly. Server was super friendly. Would go back again

Had a really nice lunch today. Great food and service.

Such a lovely place !!. The food was amazing and the service here was great. Really friendly and welcoming staff would definitely recommend !

(brilliant place)

Fantastic customer service

Very high quality Thai food with steep prices. Big portions so in general you pay for what you get. Decor going towards a higher end however makes it look a bit general like other restaurants. A place worth trying.
