I’m an Asian and I live in Asia, so I’m not bluffing when I say Chaophraya is THE BEST THAI FOOD ever. The sauces are made from scratch (because on some other Thai restaurants, they use ready-to-cook/instant sauces, which make the food taste not as good). I recommend to (of course) order the Pad Thai & Chaophraya Platter if you are a first timer.
It’s a family run business and I meet one of the owner and she’s so lovely. But unfortunately the guy who served our table doesn’t really reflect what the owner wants about the hospitality.
By the way, they bought an old building from a bank, and the one in Aberdeen is the most beautiful one (they have 5 or 6 others around UK), with original old ceiling and pillars combined with gold finished Buddha statues they brought from Thailand. Nice!
Really good food, but terribly overpriced. I thought that the Chaophraya appetizer was reasonably priced, and a terrific item, until I realized at time of paying the bill that the price quoted was per person. For a simple bowl of rice it's £5. Each.
Service was good until the end when dirty plates sat on the table waiting for our waiter to finish making drinks and bring us the check.
At our high top bar table my short wife and tall self were both uncomfortable because the seats are too short to hold your upper leg and the chairs are too tall to rest your feet on the floor.
I might go back, but I would really watch the extras because the surprise of the bill was quite bothersome.

We ordered a set menu for 2 people, every single thing tasted amazing im not a big fan of spicey foods but the spice level was perfect for me, we got a sharing platter to start, and 3 meat dishes for mains (chicken, duck, lamb) and a jasmin rice to share, and finished off with a delicious chocolate, praline and biscuit desert. 10/10 service/food would highly recommend. We also ordered a bottle of chenin blanc white wine and the bill came to about £130 including tip.
