This place is being talked about a lot in the North East. Transformed from club, to steak house to…read morethai in the last 12-18 months there has been some major works going on both inside and out! The building has always been impressive with three floors and raised seating the owner has outdone himself with huge trees and twinkling fairy lights. The food and drinks menu has been well thought out, clear and concise its not huge but I like the idea that they have picked a few dishes that they will do very well! The service in here started off a little on the shaky side having seated someone else in our seats we were a bit unnerved to see them move people for the the last booth in the raised area. Although it was explained those seating areas were for food only and the people who were moved were only having drinks... Moving swiftly on we were talked through the menu on what was a suitable amount for starter and main etc. We ordered a selection of starters to share; the prawn dynamite sushi was tasty although reading the menu you would think you get a selection of the six offered you do have to choose one as it is handmade to order - nice touch! Next was the spring rolls with duck which were very good with more flavour than your ordinary vegetable variety! My favourite was the pork and prawn dim sum -arriving in a basket to keep them warm they were amazing! Cooked to perfection the rice paper was thin and the pork went so well with the fish. Served with a very hot chilli dip it gave it the kick it needed! Next was the tricky decision between the thai red curry or the monkfish. On recommendation I went for the monkfish (which isn't explained on the menu in detail but is in fact small bites of fish breaded!) served with rice or chips. The curry sauce dip on the side was refreshing and light and the sticky rice came served in the lotus leaf -again a nice touch! I wouldn't normally have went for a fish dish but the waitress had excellent knowledge of the menu which I liked! We finished the meal off with some coconut ice cream and some sake - again something I hadn't tried. Served in a jug and warmed through it was good - definitely worth giving it a go! With one final cocktail for the road - the Guava Royale is one I would recommend I will definately be coming back to try my thai curry! 5* for service - from drinks to food tips and a great atmosphere for a relaxed evening out!

The sea bass with ginger and scallion was my fav! It's no longer on the menu but other special are just as good. The specials are great to try during lunch too.

Friendly and helpful service! More than one employee helped us, whether it was deciding on menu options or looking for sports cards. We did a couple kids meals with different rice options, a beer for the adults (the only draught), and Drunken Noodle and Pad See Ew. Full marks all around. Plenty of food, especially with the side noodles. The Drunken Noodle, my go to Thai dish, was very spicy for me. I like spice, but I'm sure some people handle it better. I was determined to finish my plate, but I was in sweaty tears by the end. Still delicious. We will probably visit this place for a meal every time we are in Newcastle.

Great value and everyone absolutely demolished their meals. The decor was spectacular. You really felt you had been transported, felt very special and authentic. Would absolutely go back and recommend in a heartbeat. The menu was huge so there should be something for everyone.

For our visit we both ate from the Thai side of the street and found it to be much better than the other (Thai only) restaurant in town. Our waitress was very attentive and the service was generally good, the only downside being towards the end of the meal when I asked if they had Cointreau for a liqueur coffee and was told they didn't, but as we left I noticed the distinctive bottle on the side of the bar around ten feet from where we had been sitting. In the end that didn't spoil the meal, I think it just came down to a simple misunderstanding, no harm done. If you find yourself having the usual argument over whether you should go out for an Indian or Chinese meal, this could be the ideal compromise restaurant.

I love the food at this place, ok, it's not Thai, Thai food but it's the closest I've came in Newcastle. Operating from a basic takeaway storefront in Swalwell, they produce all the usual suspects you'd expect on a Thai menu. Tom Yum, Tom Kha, Pad Thai, Green/Red Curry, Massaman etc. Most are priced at under £6 - some of the specials like the duck is at £9 but it's excellent. Order in advance and pick it up, or they deliver to Whickham/Swalwell areas. I drive over from Gosforth to pick up at least every 10 days or so. Highly recommended - get over there.
