Tah Tien is an independent Thai restaurant at 10 North Street in York. Its lively, informal approach is inspired by the way people eat at home and on the streets of Bangkok, bringing communal dining and vivid flavour into a compact city-centre room.
The menu combines familiar Thai street food with modern interpretations of traditional dishes. Fragrant curries, including rich massaman preparations, sit alongside stir-fries, noodles and dishes that use fresh herbs, vegetables, chilli and aromatic sauces.
Meat, seafood, tofu and vegetable choices allow diners to explore different textures and spice levels, while the lunch menu provides a concise route through the cooking. Plates can be ordered individually or shared so a table can compare several flavours.
Tah Tien works for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner or a group meal, with takeaway and delivery available as well as reservations. Guests with allergies should discuss the current ingredients, sauces and kitchen preparation with the team before ordering.
Address: 10 North Street, York YO1 6JD, England
