Bangrak Thai in Newcastle upon Tyne

Liked it, had a very nice pork dish to start, followed by a Thai green curry chicken rice dish, very nice as well. Service was great.

Fabulous food and service. I was only in Newcastle and it was so good I ate here twice! Lovely flavour - lots of veg - highly recommend taster starter

Great Food and Good Price. Chicken Wings we had has to be the best I ever had. Will visit again for sure

A small restaurant but fantastic food. Hadn’t booked but we got a table around 2000. Staff were very pleasant and the menu was very interesting. I’m not that familiar with Thai food so without a defined favourite I made a selection from the description having a starter and main. Wow, fantastic. The food was fresh and full of flavour. Portions were generous and hot straight from the pan. Absolutely loved it I would make a point of visiting again when I’m back. Surprisingly the Pinot Grigio went well with the meal.

We had eaten at this restaurant during a previous short visit to Newcastle , when we stayed the nearbye Copthorne Hotel . This time we had to settle for a hotel on the South/ Gateshead embankment but were determined to make the 30 walk to the Bangrak . It is quite a small compact and quite informal restaurant , but it provides an excellent level of hospitality and standard of food, which is very good value for money . We had Gong Pong Gari Prawn dish and Gong Pong Tamarind both delicious , with sides of mixed veg and Jasmin Rice. Some of the small tables are quite close together which might reduce you level of privacy but it didn't bother us. Thai staff and restaurants seem to set the bar high in this country and Bangrak was so good we went back the next night. £36.50 food costs plus 2 drinks.

I am so glad I popped in here for dinner while staying overnight in Newcastle! Absolutely brilliant little place, welcoming to a lone diner, subtle delicious flavours, polite, speedy and charming staff, gorgeous and relaxed ambience, quiet but in a nice chilled out way. Very highly recommended - I felt bad that they processed my bill so efficiently that I didn’t get a chance to add a tip and was caught without cash!!! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town, well worth the return trip :)

Went to the Quayside Market on Sunday afternoon and saw this was open. I do like Thai food so went for lunch. I had the Prawn Pad Thai which was the best I have ever tasted, lovely prawns and a very tasty dish overall. My girlfriend had the Panang which I sampled and was also really tasty. Will be difficult to choose between the two (or something different) when I return (soon!) and sample some of the starters as well. Great location, great service and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for an authentic Thai food, here is the place you could not miss. The food is good and staffs are very welcoming with good service. We had both Panag and Green curry in tapas size as we want to try a few other dishes. The Laab (pork spicy salad) is a must :)

Nice cosy restaurant with some lovely Thai décor. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Few things let the experience down. The food was quite bland and not freshly cooked. The Thai fishcakes were so tough and reminiscent of boil in the bag. The trip to the bathroom was lined with stock that was waiting to be either put away or lacking space elsewhere. Rather costly for the experience.

so i've been to Bangrak twice now - the first time was prime dinnertime on a Saturday and the second was a casual Wednesday just after 5pm, both equally as pleasant. i tried a decent selection of dishes from the starters and in my honest opinion, none really stood out. we ordered the crispy fish sauce chicken wings, the fishing basket and spring rolls and all seemed a bit too oily, the flavour was there but we couldn't escape from the grease but that might have been my indecisiveness wreaking havoc and poor pickings were made. i then gladly dived head first into their tom yum soup as this was the star of the show and soon i forgot about any lacklustre appetisers - very flavourful and rich, far from the stuff you get out of a jar! if this was the soup i had to drink for the rest of my life, i think i'd be okay with that. another mention is their massaman curry with tender bits of beef and potatoes in a sweet mild curry sauce - may be biased but i dont care, anytime there's potatoes stewed in a curry sauce, i'm gonna like it because potatoes are god-tier vehicles for flavour and this massaman was no exception to that fact. would definitely go to Bangrak again.

And still it is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great food, super tasty and authentic!!! Very happy and we will become repeat guests.

Went here because Mantra Thai was closed and fancied a pad Thai. The restaurant itself is lovely, staff are friendly but service is slow to say the least. Started off well with great prawn crackers and a peanut sauce, however downhill from there. The crispy beef starter had zero flavour, the sauce that came with it was again bland. The pad Thai wasn’t like any pad Thai I’ve ever had, way too much sauce making the noodles like mush, too sour no balance of flavour. Really disappointing throughout, I get the feeling the food is being toned down for British pallets, as everything just lacked the explosive flavour you associate with Thai food! Will stick to Mantra in future, more expensive but definitely worth the extra!

For Thai people who are traveling or working for a short period of time, this shop is highly recommended. I happened to find a nearby restaurant. The brothers and sisters provide very good service. You can tell by the taste of the food that you're asking for the taste of Thai people. Asked for more fish sauce chili. Very impressed.

Real Thai food at a great price. Other restaurants around the town should take note and realise what can be done without rinsing customers. Well done Bangrak

Seriously nice Thai food. Lovely service and great food. Impressive choice for vegetarian options. Starters were great and mains were amazing. Impressed all round.

Excellent food and service, absolutely no complaints, it was really good. Hope to go back there again soon. I wish I could cook Thai food as good!

This little Thai gem served delicious food galore. The quality is amazing and the price acceptable! Recommend it! I had the spicy noodles, such a treat! My partner had chicken panang and also super yummy. We left with a doggy bag as we couldn’t finish everything.

A very nice experience, on a cold, wet winter evening. Chose Chicken Tom yum soup 🍲 for starter and Kow Pad Banrak... both lovely, fresh ingredients and served piping hot...yum yum 😋

Bangrak Thai is well worth a visit, We started with some sharing plates of Squid, Belly Pork and Bangrak Samplers, all the starters were freshly cooked and tasted beautiful, we then had an intermediate course of Tom Yum Soup, I’d really recommend the soup. As we did with the starters we ordered 4-5 different main dishes to share. This is a lovely restaurant in a great central location on the Quayside. Look forward to our next visit.

Authentic Thai, lovely food and service.

Pretty average Thai food, nothing special. Menu is a plastics sheet, always a bad sign.They seem they want you out to close early,

Takeaway was terrible. The som som no sauce at all just carrots and a lettace leaf. Pad thai dreadful in some sauce no idea what the hell that was. Dreadful experience cost me a lot of money. NEVER AGAIN

10/10 food amazing. Great portions. Prices so reasonable. Highly reccomend.

Beautiful food, servers very attentive and friendly atmosphere 😊

An excellent Thai restaurant. Enjoyed the jungle curry with jasmine rice. They automatically refill your water glasses, which is a nice touch. The service could be better. We had to ask for the bill and to pay. I think it was quite busy but they only had two staff on the restaurant floor so they were quite under pressure. Highly recommended and I'll be back!

Just loved the food. Had dinner with a friend few days back and it was a very comforting meal. The waitress who attended to us was not the friendliest to be honest. But the food made up for her kindaf rude service. We tried the massaman curry with sticky rice. The food and the presentation was really interesting. We throughly enjoyed the food the beef was tender and flavorful. The dish had potatoes and even those little potato pieces were so yum.

We noted how many Thai restaurants there seemed to be in Newcastle city centre, but we liked the look of this very small (22 covers) restaurant close to the Tyne Bridge. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a table at around 6.15 on a Thursday. We hadn't seen that there was a special early bird promotion until 6.30, but the staff advised about it. We chose from the early bird menu - £15.50 for two courses from a good range of dishes. The food was excellent - chicken satay, spring rolls, pad thai and - all exceptional - and we have visited Thailand many times. The service was excellent - attentive without being overbearing in any way. If it wasn't our last night in the city, we would have certainly returned. Highly recommend

Nice food. It is a bit price though. One small bow of rice costs almost 3 pounds, and 12 pounds curry doesn’t even include rice. Can’t believe I have to pay them separately. A bit disappointing that they don’t have any dessert menu, but with a full drink menu. Seems more like a Thai restaurant for mostly white people but they do have Thai people work there.

Très bon restaurant. Je recommande vivement si vous voulez manger une cuisine thaïlandaise authentique et de qualité. Les plats sont savoureux, le service est parfait.

I am only not marking this place 2 stars as only tried 2 dishes on the menu which is not necessarily representative. The som tam salad was 90% carrot but redeemed by a very tasty dressing so I finished it. But may as well just call it "carrot salad"! The pad thai was gloopy and I thought had a good whack of tomato ketchup in it. I lost the will to finish it. Service was nice enough and as it was the third Thai place I had stuck my head into, the decor was at least the nicest. But now I will never know if the other 2 places would have been better choices on the food front!

Service really let this place down. Terrible.

Came at opening time and ate from the early bird menu. Good choice and no compromise on quality; both starters of soup and spicy fried egg salad full of flavour. Mains were chilli beef and spicy chicken fried rice. Both generous in size and extremely tasty. House wine reasonably priced and of good quality. Will be back.

Cosy Restaurant near the Quay that serves delicious Thai food for a very decent price. Recommended!

The food was rank. Bangkra Thai starter tasted like fished out the bottom of ALDIs freezer. Everything else tasteless and watery. Waiter didn’t ask how we found it. We left most. The big chain in town is far tastier. Avoid.

Cosy room, relaxed and friendly staff. Very flexible menu, with many dishes offered as tapas portions. Good wine and cocktail list and Really Delicious Thai food Loved every mouthful.

Unbelievable food, quick service Easy access off the quay side . Friendly staff. We have visited twice as ‘tourists’ in the last 2 years!

I liked sitting at the window on the top level overlooking the street scene below. Tasty and fresh food served politely in a peaceful place without music. A lovely part of Newcastle upon Tyne.

On my birthday visited restaurant and had a wonderful flavourful authentic thai meal. Food was all fresh and service was very quick and friendly with a smile. All washed down with a bottle of the house red. It was so good that we returned two evenings later for round two. Another exceptional meal at a very reasonable price. Fully recommend this Thai restaurant to everyone.

Fabulous authentic Thai food, having had my own business for 20 years in the natural health focus … customer care and exceptional service is the key to success… here the staff are lovely , the choice is perfect and the food is yummy , thankyou. Phil Pickles 😍

Food was fantastic, great choice of dishes and a lovely little authentic Thai surroundings. Our dishes were very good, and looking around as other dishes were presented to other tables looked fantastic. Very reasonable prices. Definitely eat here again.

A great place to get traditional Thai food in Newcastle. The food is great and the service is pleasant and helpful. There is a good range of food to choose from at a reasonable price.

Heads up for the spring rolls, satay, duck curry and chicken fried rice!

Best we found in Newcastle. Meal was amazing. Fresh and loads of flavour. Service quick and friendly. Very good price. Would highly recommend.

Small restaurant very close to the Tyne bridge. Maybe around ten tables with 30 covers. Menu contained all of the dishes you might expect to see. The food quality was outstanding. Good quality raw ingredients perfectly blended with spices.

Excellent food. Highly recommended

We enjoyed the food a lot. It was very tasty and well made.

Travelled to Newcastle for a week holiday . Love Asian and Thai food so tried here. I cannot express how good the flavours are. How close to real Thai food in Bangkok. I had a hot spicy dish called kapraow moo. Spicy pork. So tasty. Flavours blew me away...

Great food and a nice cosy setting.

Whilst the food was alright, it took an hour and a half to get our mains, so we left. Additionally the restaurant wasn’t even full. A real shame.

Decent food but still havent had main course and been here 100 mins! No explanation. Gave up and left. No discount. Nothing. Not good enough! Wont be coming back.

Asked for table upstairs which I would recommend. Food and service excellent can’t wait to go back.

As in many British restaurants the space in quite small. However I got a table near the window. They have a wide variety of starters, main courses and desserts. I ordered the Thai fishcakes to start which were well prepared and tasty. Not too greasy. Then I had the Goong Pad Pong Gari which was delicious. I found the flavours very authentic. Still an excellent restaurant!

Love Thai food here , good value and delicious

Authentic and good service. Not the best Thai in Newcastle but it’s worth a visit

A great authentic Thai restaurant in the heart of quayside . Really lovely food at reasonable prices totally recommend

Brilliant authentic Thai food. Staff are so friendly would highly recommend

Went here upon reccommendation from a friend. Service was great, prices for city centre were very reasonable , and the food was fresh, full of flavor and plentiful. I'll be back here as soon as I can be. Highly reccommended!

Great food and really nice restaurant. Everything was tasty and fresh, music wasn't too loud and service was spot on. Highly recommended thai food restaurant.

It has the best Pad Thai. It is best you go early so you could enjoy the place and the special early bird menu.

Really delicious food, good price and in a cozy setting with a nice atmosphere. The staff here are always very friendly and welcoming too. Recommended

Me and my boyfriend and I went for dinner, and there was such good food and a big portion too. Service nice

Lovely Thai food that was well presented. Restaurant is quite small and in a popular area so we were happy to be able to get a seat since it was busy.

Tried here yesterday as a friend had recommended, cannot fault food was fantastic, on time and pipping hot, atmosphere was great in a warm environment and would recommend without hesitation : )

Me and my partner had dinner here last night it was absolutely unreal. The food was mindblowing beautiful, flavours were out of this world. But it wasn't just the food that made this place, the restaurant itself has such a calm and peaceful vibe. The lady who served us was super attentive, friendly and just lush. We were even coming back to our drinks having been tipped up after a cigarette. We came home proper relaxed from this chill vibe dining experience. Can't reccomend enough - such a beautiful and quaint little place ❤️

Lovely, cosy and atmospheric restaurant with great selection of Thai cuisines. Food served with smile on beautiful dishes. Really recommended.

Delicious food and freindly service. Very authentic thai food. Only a small venue so a little noisey but thats jist down to the clientel not the restairants fault. Only thing i would suggest is maybe play thai music to make the atmosphere more thai

A really nice cosy restaurant. Food and service was authentic

Lovely massaman curry and pad thai friendly staff well priced compared to other local thai places clean

Was greeted by a really polite and kind young waiter. He made my evening even easier when he helped me chose, as I was alittle unsure on what to order. My evening sadly started off with some really impolite customers and was really glad they left shortly after I sat down. The really inmate setting is perfect for this restaurant, however I wish they were playing some nice authentic music rather than music you'd hear in really posh establishment, as it did not fit this special little gem. All food was presented really well! The Satay Skewers starter was epic and probably the tastiest Satay recipe I have tasted! I was alittle unsure about the Duck (Ped Pad Khing) as it was sadly alittle fatty but still tender and not chewy. I decided to also try the Duck Red Curry (Gang Dang Pad) and was thrilled to see they had a Tapas sized portions, as it was a lovely side with the Thai Jasmine Rice! The most surprising part of my evening was desert. I never really had a tradition Thai Desert so I thought I would try the Banana in Coconut milk. I was alittle skeptical at first but I shouldn't have been as it was beautiful! Overall I highly recommend visiting!

Authentic tastes, and very good vege options!

Thoroughly delicious & authentic Thai meal with the loveliest & most gentle & polite waiter in the world! Their mixed Starter is delicious. Everything is prepared freshly so is served very crispy & hot. The main courses are a good size & also really tasty & fresh. Gorgeous interior too! Perfect Thai Meal. Thankyou!!! XXX ❤️

I really enjoyed our meal, which we indulged ourselves in shamelessly! One of the best Thai Restaurants in the area. The service was excellent, without being intrusive. We did not feel rushed at all even though the restaurant became progressively busier than when we arrived. We will certainly be visiting the restaurant again.

Offered table right away after calling in on the off chance. It’s only only small but great staff and a good menu at a reasonable price, service was quick and the food very good quality. Being small it looked a bit scruffy but well worth a visit I would recommend

Some of the best food outside of Thailand. The Laarb Moo was exceptional!!! And the Pad Kaprow (Horapha) Arroy Mak Mak Khop Khun Krap 🙏🏽

Called in the night before the Great North Run and enjoyed some superb food with plenty of spice to ensure I ran quicker the next day. Very friendly staff, lovely decor and a great location.

I called in the night before the Great North Run on my tod and managed to grab a table right by the window. Very friendly staff and an amazing ambience. Food was divine with lots of chillis. Highly recommended.

Called in after looking for a place to eat. We couldn't sit upstairs as it was only 5:30pm so quiet, and the lady serving was on her own at that time. She was super efficient and chatted a little when we arrived, she was really polite and attentive and this for me is half the experience of eating out... So thank you 😊 And onto the food, this was really very nice and we loved every dish, credits to the chef, it was nicely flavored/spiced and the chilli just enough to give that kick you want without taking from the taste. We particularly liked the lime chicken wings, and i really enjoyed my chilli beef with sweet and sour sauce, that was a bit addictive for me, i could have just had 3 portions of that. So thanks to you for a lovely experience

Stumbled on the place by mistake but it was an absolute gem. The staff are great service brill and the food so authentic and tasty. Will be coming again.

I had pad thia which lacked flavour. Steaming hot as it was a microwave meal ! or seemed to be. Drinks very expensive. Positive comment is it was very clean inside and deco was lovely.

Really tasty food, and a chilled vibe. I ordered based on a waitress recommendation and was not disappointed (the gingery curry pictured on the menu) everything order by our party was delicious.

Lovely meal, couldn’t fault it. Service was very attentive and nice atmosphere. 2nd time we have been and it won’t be the last!

Pad thai and fish cake are exceptional! Ambiance is lovely.

Excellent! An intimate place to enjoy a Thai meal. Delightful staff. Our food was tasty and beautifully presented, with good portion size. No complaints from us and highly recommended. We look forward to returning soon.

Loved it, my favorite Thai place in Newcastle. Lovely food, lovely staff good location.

Great wee place. Friendly, charming and love the decor. Cosy and homely. Just great location and busy with a nice vibe. Everyone just enjoying dinner, talking and eating. Food is just amazing. Go! Starters just fresh and lovely. The fact they have roti and peanut...

Lovely meal with work colleagues. Beef Massaman curry was fantastic. Great location and pleasant atmosphere.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Strongly recommend for an affordable dinner out, fantastic value for money

Very nice place. Waitresses a bit distracted!

Great food and attentive staff. Would recommend. Very quiet for restaurant in such a busy location. From the outside looks small but have large seating area upstairs.

Really good food. Nice atmosphere upstairs.

We dined here Sunday evening (Jubilee Weekend) and the service was fantastic, food great and price great, would definitely recommend.

Great welcome from staff and lovely service complemented the excellent food. My Som Tam starter was excellent - it's amazing what they can do with a carrot - and highly spiced. Everything else was delicious too. Reasonable prices for this busy area.

I really, really, really don't want to tell you.......But.....Oh okay it was terrific! .....Happy? I'll never get a table now🥴 Did our usual thing and had a selection of starters and every single dish was stunningly delicious! I'm telling you you have never ever had a spring roll till you've had one here...Think you know your noodles? Ha!...Salmon in batter? Double ha! The starters were fab.. Help yourself to the mains I'm a happy 🐰with a mezza of bits and bobs as ever👍 Service was first rate, bottled Coca Cola for the old man, lovely house dry white for moi😁...Ambience was quiet but pleasant.... it's small, it's intimate (do you really want to hear how Mabel's hols in Benidorm went and how bored Trixibelle is already?) overall of the three restaurants this visit...best one😋

Wonderful food great customer service

My partner and I love this place. The food is awesome. One of the best Thai restaurant if not the best saying as I have been to few of them.

Lovely location on the quayside next to the Tyne Bridge. Small and friendly with good selection of Thai dishes to choose from. Went with the family and the food was liked by adults and children alike. Really nice presentation of the food

Enjoyed the meal, staff friendly 😁

Expensive for the amount you get, but it's delicious none the less

Bought takeout. Food was delicious and the portions were large.

Lovely food good prices and good service.
