The Old Siam - Newcastle

Went with my partner for our Anniversary as was visiting from Manchester. I tried to order off specials menu, I pointed at the seafood item I wanted to waitress, was then corrected on my pronunciation and had the dish explained to me. Then when a chicken dish I didn't want or ordered came to table I was told it was my fault the order was incorrect due to my pronunciation. The fact I actually pointed at the item I wanted seemed to be totally forgot and as result i felt slightly humiliated and belittled. They did offer to replace my dish but no such offer was made in relation to my partners meaning their dish would have been stone cold by the time my replacement was brought to the table. Needless to say I thought our Anniversary dinner was ruined not to mention rushed as the whole time frame from being seated to vacating was 50 minutes. We will never return

Excellent food, drink and service. Somewhat shabby chic environment but this didn't deter from overall enjoyment. We were only a small party of 3 diners but staff were coping admirably with a large group in a cramped but busy restaurant.

Excellent food and service, great location and a nice ambiance in the restaurant. A must if you like Thai food and are in the Newcastle area.

Very pleasant staff and amazing food. I ordered the special lamb shank and it was very tender and just melted off the bone. We tried the Thai wine what was a nice accompaniment to the meal

Great food and service. Lovely night. Had soft shell crab, prawn toast and prawn spring rolls. Followed by sea bass in spicy sauce and prawn massman curry.

Food was beautiful staff were friendly couldn't ask for anything else . Definatly recommend and I will be coming back. Very good prices as well .

Great food, excellently helpful staff. Eight over 60s men had a very good night some sharing a banquet and others on the a la carte menu. All highly satisfied.

Good service, lovely authentic food. Just like back in Thailand! It's a bit of a climb up the stairs but was lovely to see into the kitchens which are almost on the stairs. The real deal! 😄

This place was a really good food place, I'd highly recommend this to someone I l inked and someone I didn't chase it's just that good.

Excellent food, great value and attentive but not overbearing service - faultless ! Looking forward to a revisit next time we are in Newcastle. We booked but they were managing to accommodate people without bookings

Beautiful restaurant, fabulous location, and food/service was incredible! Highly recommended and pleased I went :) Will definitely be visiting again in the near future! Thank you Old Siam :)

Lovely small restaurant in an easy to get to location serving superb quality Thai food. Service was excellent and the staff very friendly. I will definitely eat here again!

The Old Siam is an oasis of refinement and gentility in a hectic corner of Newcastle. The staff are delightfully courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. The food is a triumph. I cannot recall abetter couple of hours than those spent dining at The Old Siam.

Excellent restaurant with excellent food. Staff were really attentive and could not do enough for you. Would not hesitate to recommend Old Siam and will be back again.

The old Siam is our favourite Thai restaurant as the food is really authentic and tasty and the staff are great. Would definitely recommend it.

The food is amazing in here, and well priced. The only thing I would say is that sometimes the service is a bit slow, there is a musty smell in the corridor/stair well and the toilets could do with dressing up a bit.

Very warm welcome. Got our drinks wrong at first but the wrong ones were kept and on the house with profuse apologies even though we really didn't mind (more bemused at the experience of getting sambucca and coke instead of vodka!). Food, as always, out of this world delicious. Only problem was we were so full from our mains that we didn't have room to try one of the scrummy looking new desserts they have started doing. Highly recommend, will definitely go back again.

Service was great & food so tasty. We had one of the set menus for 5 of people, though rather a lot of tinned button mushrooms on this visit.

Great food and great service , we will be back . There are far more expensive restaurants in Newcastle that don't serve as good food as Old Siam 😋.

A party of 9 went to this quaint restaurant it felt like sitting in someone's living room, and we were a bit squished. Food was nice, plenty of it but I felt quite overpriced. When I booked I advised that there would be 9 or 10 of us. They charged us £25 service charge saying the booking was for 10 we found this quite extortionate . The front of house staff were very perfunctory and didn't try to build a rapport. Overall ok place but wouldn't go for a special occasion.

Really nice, helpful and polite staff. Food excellent and price very reasonable. Restaurant is in a nice spot and has a clean look about the place. Worth booking in advance as a lot of people notice how inviting it is as the walk past. ****

This restaurant has a beautiful ambience with helpful and very polite staff has a extensive wine menu. The banana fritters were delicious and by for the most enjoyable course !!

Very good ,well cooked , fresh and well presented food food in a simple but pleasant atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable experience .I would recommend it

Wasn't too busy but not sure why as beautiful food & highly presentable & polite team of workers. Good value for money & was nice to watch the Toon's 'wildlife' passing by from the window seat. ;-) Thank you - booking was very easy too.

Simply the best Thai restaurant we have ever been to. The food was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you like Thai and are in the Tyneside area, then a visit to The Old Siam is a must.

Not as friendly as they normally are seemed a bit put out as we asked to change seats! Meal delicious as always never lets us down !

The Old Siam is thoroughly recommended for a meal out with a smaller group of friends or family. Fantastic service and good food. The setting is cosy and relaxed.
