TET

Tet

If we’re talking about East Asian restaurants, we have to start with Tết. Why? Because they combine two cuisines in one!
This stylish restaurant serves up incredible, contemporary Vietnamese and Thai food in elegant surroundings. In addition to their standard menu, they also offer a dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu, plus home dining options.

📍 Wakefield, WF1 1PQ

Pagoda

If you’re looking for really authentic Cantonese cuisine, Pagoda is the perfect place. Recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, this two-floor, Sandal-based restaurant features a wealth of delicious dishes, catering to casual diners or Chinese food aficionados.
The restaurant’s head chef was trained in Hong Kong, and has perfected his craft with decades of experience in several renowned Chinese restaurants in the north of England. Try the Chef’s Dim Sum Medley, and the Pagoda Flame Platter.

Tu's Kitchen

Tu's Kitchen

Tu’s Kitchen, on Pontefract’s Gillygate, offers delicious, authentic Thai food, made entirely from scratch.
Though small, this little restaurant packs a mighty punch with exquisite, aromatic flavours straight from Hua Hin or Isaan.
And if that’s not enough to tempt you (and for goodness sake, why not!?) they even offer a Tu’s Kitchen Loyalty Card: collect the stamps to get a free starter after 5 stamps, and a free main meal after 10!
