Was recommended this restaurant when visiting for the weekend and it did not disappoint! Great view on the rooftop, wonderful staff, and the food was delicious. I'm Thai and enjoyed every dish (and portion size) - only wish I could try more! We had the mixed starter, dumplings, pork belly curry and lamb massaman (the highlight).

I come here a lot with my Mam for lunch and we always have a great time. I even took my friends and work colleagues here because the restaurant is literally at the heart of Newcastle it’s so convenient. But this time for my Mam’s 60th, we had suuuch an amazing time. FOH staffs were so accommodating and attentive. Atmosphere was great (as always). Food was lovely (as always!!!). Will definitely be back and deffo recommend it xx

Whilst using the restroom a member of staff came out of a locked cubicle and didn't wash his hands. Upon returning to my table he was serving food from the kitchen.I complained to another member of staff and was told later that he was in Thier to check his phone. Even so he should have washed his hands, it's basic food hygiene practice.

I don't mind pay a expensive dinner but always have to be hand by hand with price. I know is a thai restaurant but I get a steak which I ask to be rare medium (it was full cooked and dry). My partner get a curry that in the menu said it was not really spicy but it was as hell. Then with the steak they offer me a side that was "free" that it wasn't. The egg fry rice was soggy and don't really taste like nothing. So we paid £65 for a cheap meat and a curry that was spicy as hell. The place is in a nice area and you have nice views. You can get nice pictures 😂

Having visited previously I was expecting the same level of food and service. Unfortunately this was not the case. The food was not authentic Thai, the Pad Kra Pow was basically chicken fried rice, the chips were the hollow frozen kind and £8.50 for a Chang is simply outrageous. I counted six different members of staff that had come to the table for one reason or another, with no awareness amongst them of what the others were doing. Also staff congregating in the smoking area vaping. Presumably on a break, but should not be there. All in all pretty disappointed, it’s went downhill and at almost £80 for 2 people for restaurant week isn’t great value.

We really enjoyed our meal here, I was happy with everything I chose. My partner enjoyed his curry but wished he chose something else as wasn't quite what he was hoping for. The outside area is beautiful and we were so comfortable sitting there while eating. The servers were great and weren't on top of us much which I like when I eat out. We skipped starters as we were looking forward to ordering more for the meal to share but next time we'll definitely be trying the sharing chaophraya platter. I had the panang curry with chicken which was delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly, I didn't get a bad bit and had that with jasmine rice which again really enjoyed. My partner went for the jungle curry which he was warmed was extremely hot, luckily it wasn't that hot - he could taste the heat but not uncomfortable or as hot as he prepared himself for but it's quite a thing curry which is where he was disappointed but it's the first time he's tried that one. His preference is a thicker curry more like the panang so he'd choose something different next time but glad he tried it and still ate it all. We also chose the noodles which were described a as a take on Singapore noodles. I was expecting a bit more heat but the taste of them was delicious and I'm so pleased I ordered. But they definitely don't have any heat to them. The chicken was slightly more chewy than that from my curry but not off putting. We also got the side of their five spice chips which again had a lovely taste. Carb overload for us but we ate it all and I walked away very stuffed but very satisfied. I'd be back again but it's a bit pricey so will be a treat for us rather than a regular visit.

A fantastic birthday meal. It was lovely warm summer afternoon and sitting outdoors in the rooftop was lovely. The atmosphere was brilliant it felt like being abroad enjoying the sun. Service was great, fast and friendly. Even a free starter for the older couple on a nearby table which was a lovely touch. Food …. The best part. The flavours were fabulous like a party in the mouth ! Portions were fab ! 5 spice fries ….. oooh I’m going back here for sure ! Larger was fab and refreshing! I can not say a bad thing about my experience!! Get yourself a table you won’t regret it !!!

Ordered three curries, rice and spicy chips via deliveroo. The meal came without rice and with one of the curries missing. Rang the restaurant to ask if they could send it through, answer was blunt and with no apologyt: "no" and "get a refund from deliveroo" I am allergic to fructans which are onions and my lamb curry was requested with no onions. The crispy shallots were left off but the meal itself had big chunks of onion in. The vegetables in the curry were half a carrot and three pieces of semi-raw potato. The lamb and sauce was quite tasty, but about 1 lamb chops worth of stringy overcooked lamb. The chicken Curry was good for flavour and the texture and taste of chicken too, but was similarly quite short on the amount of actual food in it. Each curry is £23, which is a lot of money for a small amount of average food. The spicy chips were ok-ish but not very spicy. So we made our own spicy chips whilst we waited for our rice to cook (remember there was no rice) Big disappointment in both quality of food and value for money.

I was really impressed with the service. I organised a surprise birthday meal for my friends 60th Birthday, Brittany was really helpful prior to our meal, she replied to my emails quickly and was really helpful and accommodating. The staff on the day of our meal were all also really helpful and accommodating and made the surprise birthday meal go really well and smoothly.

My husband booked Chaophraya for my birthday dinner yesterday. In the past we have always celebrated our wedding anniversary, promotions and birthdays here. Have come with friends for bottomless brunch many times. However yesterdays meal was different. We ordered the sharing platter. Which was OK - not bursting with flavour like it normally does . Whilst my husband enjoyed his meal . My order of GOONG PRIK KLUEA - was just battered prawns on a bed of fried rice noodles. It was so oily I could not even eat a single bite. My husband who generally eats everything could not even eat a bite. We asked for it to be packed to take it home. I then ordered COCONUT CRÈME BRÛLÉE for dessert.This came with two raspberries on top. Whilst having this I realised that both raspberries had gray mould! I spoke to a lady ( sorry, can't remember your name). She was lovely and offered me a replacement dessert. At this point I just wanted to go home. We asked for the bill - she had taken my main and the dessert off the bill and offered us 10% off for next time. My birthday meal was a disaster and it will be a good while before I come back here again. I left the packed food as there was no point taking it home! Very disappointed.

One star is for very bad service. Such a bad experience we had this time (tonight). We received the mains and immediately realised we need some more food. We asked the waiter can he add chicken satay- he said that will take only 5 mins. We finished dinner in 25 mins even then the chicken satay didnt arrive. We asked for 2 extra spoons which never arrived. We waived to the waiter and he said it is nowhere close ready so he is taking that off the bill. Then we had to ask for 2 times to bring the bill, which included the chicken satay. We asked him again to correct it - he doesnt return in 15 mins. We walked to the counter as we had to leave, he prepaped the bill and included service charge. He had already included that in the bill and asked if it is ok. I could not believe he was asking for service charge after so many mistakes. We didnt want to create a scene. So paid all of it and left. Know that there were people in total 3 tables and rest of the restaurant was empty. There is no way a service can go wrong in so many ways. Utterly disappointed.

I came here for dinner on my birthday. This was my first time here and I really liked it. Chaopraya is a great choice for a date or special dinner. The service was super quick! (it was a Monday though) For drinks there was a 2 for 1 cocktail special, so we both had tigers eye which was delicious. There was an abundance of drinks choices and food. It was very difficult to choose what to eat but in the end I decided to go for 3 starters because I had my eye on the mango sticky rice for dessert. I got spring rolls, sweet corn cakes, and summer rolls (all vegetarian). All dishes came garnished with sweet chili sauce, violas, sprouts and/or banana leaves. This is something I really enjoy and am very particular about. It was very neat and the best part was it did not take away from the dish. A lot of garnishes interfere with the flavour or texture making it hard to distinguish the quality of the taste. The sweet corn cakes were definitely my favourite, and the spring rolls landed an easy second. The sweet corn cakes had an excellent balance of moist and crisp. The different flavours were really strong meaning you could accompany it with sweet chili sauce without sacrificing the food itself. You can never go wrong with spring rolls, there wasn’t anything particularly special about these ones but they were very tasty. The summer rolls were well wrapped, fresh and super crunchy. They were very tasty and I loved them even though I do prefer a summer roll with peanut sauce and vermicelli noodles. The starter portions were bigger than I expected (definitely not a bad thing) so I ended up taking the remaining summer rolls home and not ordering a dessert. Although the meat and fish dishes dominated the menu, the innovation of the vegetarian meals made up for it entirely. My boyfriend had the beef penang, which he said was great and quite spicy (but in a good way) however, the beef was less tender than he thought it would be. I tried some of the sauce and it was very good. He also ordered the chicken tacos as a starter which came after the main because the kitchen accidentally made vegetable tacos (again, this did not bother us at all). My boyfriend was also not able to finish his meal completely so did not order a dessert either. There are some incredible flavours on the menu. Incorporating fruit with savory is a definite favourite of mine however, if this is not something you enjoy there are plenty of staple Thai dishes. The menu states how spicy dishes are using chili icons which is helpful for new customers to decipher what they can handle as every restaurant is different. The interiors were not the best which was a little disappointing considering the quality of the food and how they promote themselves. Initially I was put off by it being located in Eldon Sq. however, a singular entrance by lift helped to make it feel more special. The building itself is beautiful and a rooftop restaurant is always nice. I did feel like there wasn’t much ambience however, it was a Monday. From its appearance it did not seem like a Thai restaurant. I understand it is a chain which takes away from authenticity but it still would have been nice to see some traditional furniture or at least a few tributes to Thai culture that weren’t limited to Buddhas. As a slightly more ‘sophisticated’ establishment, I did expect better however, it was still comfortable. The prices were relatively decent however, as university students this isn’t a restaurant we’d be able to go to often. I think the prices are completely reasonable considering the taste and presentation of the dishes. For the two of us we paid £72 including service charge. * The negative comments are just explaining why I have given 4 stars instead of 5. I would still highly recommend this place to everyone reading.

You must book in advance to ensure a seat by a window to get a wonderful aerial view of Greys monument because the restaurant is situated on the top floor of Eldon Square shopping centre inline with the top of the monument. The restaurant is clean, tastefully decorated and the service is very attentive and polite. The menu is also quite extensive. This is a select restaurant with good authentic Thai food so the prices reflect that but not excessively so for a lovely night out with those family and friends that you love. A wonderful taste of Thailand.

I was hoping for an impressive experience. Unfortunately it wasn’t as good as hoped for. 4 parties, meal served not at the same time. To the extent of one person’s main meal being entirely forgotten and finally served while others were waiting. My main meal was lukewarm. Ended up with espresso served in a stone cold cup. Food was very tasty regardless of the shortcomings described above. A bit of effort towards carpet cleaning would help as you can see stains offering long history of food spillages. And tune the music down please, not to mention the questionable selection of the music itself. Nice location though. This is subjective review but that’s what it is about I guess.

While the ambience and the service is good, the food is disgustingly sweet. I ordered the sweetcorn cakes which came drizzled in the sweet syrup. This would’ve been better had it been on the side and I could use it as wanted. The pad Thai as well was sweet and I left feeling disappointed, seems like they are catering to the British palate by removing any semblance of spice. Prices as well seem exorbitant for the food served.

This restaurant has a great feel and ambience but the mains let it down. We ordered the black pepper sauce chicken and another spicy chicken dish, the biggest let down was that the chicken was so dry that we both ate less than half of the dish. £90 total cost..1 drink each, the chaophraya starter platter, 2 mains and 1 side of 5 spice chips. Told our waitress when we'd finished that the chicken was so dry, hence the reason there was so much food left over, we blatantly saw her tell the manager and guess what.........! When the bill came there was no form of apology or good will gesture....too which I was very shocked considering how politely we mentioned about the food. Anyway we paid and left. We tried it and the experience confirmed we would never go there again or recommend this restaurant to anyone ever.

Booked for Mother’s Day with my Daughter. The restaurant is beautiful and despite a miserable day outside very light with great views. Traditional Thai decor and well maintained. Warm welcome and great service throughout. Cocktail options are plentiful and I received a complimentary cocktail as it was Mother’s Day. We both had the pad Thai, my Daughter had the chicken option and I had the belly pork, it was so delicious. We didn’t have starters as we had breakfast at our hotel in the morning and the pad Thai was very filling. Definitely will return

We arrived at 7.30 pm and were shown to our table given menus and were told they server would be with us shortly. So as we sat there other people arrived got seated and were served drinks. We waited patiently and still no one came to our table. I called the server over and were told again that someone would be with us shortly. 35 minutes of waiting we decided to leave. All in all, very poor customer service. As we walked out another couple were saying they had 2 main courses and a drink each and it cost them £104. I think we had a lucky escape

I am giving 4 stars because the food was absolutely unreal however, the service was extremely slow, we had to ask 3 times for some table water, the table was not ready when we arrived and there was zero interaction from the staff until they wanted us to pay. When you pay £100 plus for a meal for two you expect a little interaction or even checking if we were okay, wanted any more drinks etc. The toilets were also not clean, pee all over the seat and no toilet roll in the ladies. I really do love this place but the staff need a nudge to be more attentive, i dont think ill return any time soon, there are so many other restaurants that will provide a better service. The food was outstanding though and i am happy to pay that bit extra for a good meal.

We went for dinner for restaurant week early evening. We didn’t feel like it was great value (£20 a head) for the food received, but having looked at the normal menu (highlights include £4.50 for plain rice), it was a lot less than usual. We did enjoy the food, though my partner found the pad Thai quite cold. The service was very quick- not sure if food had been pre prepared given smaller ‘restaurant week’ menu and was sat out. We were disappointed by the service especially after reading other reviews. We were served by many different people and had to ask twice for water, then when it came it was half a glass each and the jug taken away which I found very strange. We were sat beside the server’s area which was quite noisy, and overheard they ran out of plates which explained why we didn’t have any at first. We had high expectations for Chaophraya and as students it was meant to be a special treat, but sadly we weren’t so sure

We visited Chaophraya for an anniversary. The service was amazing and fast. The staff were friendly and advised on dietary requirements. We ordered the Chaophraya starter selection which was delicious. The chicken tacos and tempura prawns were especially good. The pad ka prao with pork had the perfect level of spice and a lovely rich savory taste. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the pad Thai, I felt it lacked flavor and fell too sweet for me. Despite that I highly recommend this restaurant.

Really great looking restaurant and lovely staff but really disappointing food. The ribs and dumplings were good starters, but the udon seafood and chicken/dragonfruit stiry fry dishes looked more like cheap buffet food than authentic Thai dining; full of big chunks of raw onion and a weird gloopy sauce on both. For the price you pay, you're getting a nice venue, not good food. Decent cocktail menu though.

Amazing food, service and ambience. Big portions and a good cocktail selection. Recommend the Thai mulled wine too.

The food was good but with a price comparison against other Thai restaurants I have dined at, the quality was not as worthy of the price. Their price is relatively standard, so I am not saying it is expensive 😊 The service was excellent. The staff were very accommodating, attentive and polite, they also made sure we were aware of the discounts, cheaper options and the menu options. The atmosphere is probably the best selling point. Stunning, quiet and low lit Thai restaurant. The restaurant is on the top floor of Eldon square which is accessible by lift, so you have some beautiful window views of the city which is perfect on the evening. There are plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. I would recommend going Chaophraya and I will likely come here again.

This place blew my taste buds off. Incredible traditional flavours and so much effort in the presentation. I got the Thai basil rove and it was superior to many I've had. Finn and Scott were absolute delights to deal with Scott leading the way to an exclusive feeling experience and Finn hitting me with some tasty sips to keep me going until the food was ready 🤘

Wish I had listened to the reviews. Ribs were chewy couldn’t even get any meat off the bone, pad Thai was freezing cold and chicken satay was bone dry. Lovely location and good vibes but the food was awful. The chocolates that came with the bill were the best part

Chaophraya is a busy Thai-Fusion restaurant sitting atop Eldon Square, enjoying a premier overlook of Gray’s Monument right slap-bang in the middle of Newcastle city centre. The staff members individually were excellent, timely, and informative. Unfortunately the premier experience does rather end here, giving way to an relatively expensive dining experience with okay food in it’s place. The overly-dark interior gives the impression of a club rather than a restaurant and our parties table was also situated on one half of the run between the kitchen and the dining room proper, rendering us a blockage to busy staff and the obliging us to mash ourselves up against the windows. The menu featured alcoholic spirits with prices that didn’t include mixers, those being prices separately for an extensive premium (think £3 for 100ml of lemonade), which is fine but when you’re paying £8 for a gin I would appreciate this being more clear. Finally the food, the starter that I shared was really well presented and tasty but the main was unfortunately overcooked, the rice being less sticky and more pudding. My groups food experience varied but the general consensus was it was, unfortunately, overpriced for the experience.

We spent a wonderful evening in the company of friends. We celebrated our friend’s graduation in the restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic and the workers were wonderful. We ordered coffee and some dessert, as well as the evening dishes, all of which were delicious.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Just the food wasn’t for me. The starter was like tempura, very greasy and put me off. And pad Thai tastes a bit stale and too sweet for me.

Family 60th birthday held at restaurant. First time I have been hear and found it hard to see food due to dim lighting throughout restaurant. Food was very nice, Ribs to start - unusual flavour and texture tender but more fatty than I was expecting. Curry and coconut rice as main this was very nice would have again. Prawn Crackers ordered for table, nice flavour with a little spice. Only negative on service would be for a party of 21 people they only had one person serving, by the time the server had placed the mains you were waiting 5 - 10 minutes for the rice and sides to be put out.

Half of meal was excellent, but two in party ordered chicken massaman, but lamb massaman came to table. Service was very slow, but it was busy Saturday afternoon. Mistake on order was rectified with money deducted off final bill. Hopefully just a blip as normally service and food are excellent.

Considering that this is a silver venue I wouldn't rate it as aesthetically pleasing. This venue appears shabby, dark and dank, there is a foisty odour in the pit area. This venue is in desperate need of a refurb. Stockton Grosvenor is a bronze venue, it beats This site hands down.

Sky Chinese Cuisine is a Cantonese restaurant located in Chinatown, Newcastle, UK. There is an elevator along the main street, so it's best to take the elevator to the 3rd floor. (You can also go by stairs, but it's quite difficult lol) You can also enjoy various types of dim sum. I tried the shrimp dumplings and spring rolls and they were delicious. The inside of the store felt a little dirty, but it was a nice Chinese atmosphere. Most of the staff and customers were Chinese. This was one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten at in the UK. Recommended.
