Mi Chaii

You're heading into Laisterdyke on Leeds Road and walking into something genuinely good—no pretension, just properly cooked Thai that tastes like someone actually knows what they're doing. Mi Chaii does the classics with real heat and flavour: curries that build on your palate, stir-fries that have proper wok char, and pad thai that's balanced rather than sweet. It's the kind of place that's rammed on a Friday night with locals who've worked out it's better than driving to town, with tables packed close and the kitchen clearly sweating through orders. Service is quick and friendly, prices hover around £8–12 for mains, and you get proper value. The room's nothing fancy—stripped back, bright, focused on the food.
