I won't eat at this restaurant in the future. Not recommended either. Ordered takeout from this restaurant today. The takeout has plastic bags, and coconut rice has lids. When I am ready to eat, my friend asked me to share a photo and then he found a stapler needle on it. I can't imagine what would happen if I ate it directly. I called the restaurant immediately. The staff said it might be a delivery issue and asked me to contact the food delivery app because they don't have a driver to pick up or return the food. I don't think the courier would open so many layers of packaging and put needles on the rice, and there is no strong response to complaints on the delivery app.

First time trying Malaysian food, honestly a bit disappointed. Not sure if it just wasn't for me however I generally love all Asian food. The ingredients weren't amazingly fresh tasting, the sauces were quite plain and the rice was not the nicest. The only thing that comes to mind is that it tastes similar to something coming out of a restaurant chain. On top of that we ended up spending £50 for two mains, two drinks and a side, many places in Newcastle for better value.

Came especially for this food from Sheffield after seeing so many good reviews. We ordered the salt and pepper king prawns and chips, mixed meat with fried noodles and the beef kueh teow. The chips came and were too spicy and the waitress did her best to make me another one but less chilli. The service was excellent and the food was amazing I have never ate anything so flavoursome and tasty. Will deffo come again

Firstly we are Chilli Padi addicts!!! But this was not of the standard expected. Can someone explain why when I ask for "everything together" ( that being simply, a bowl of soup,1 x spicy prawns,1x butter chicken, 1 x rice and noodles) it comes out firstly a single bowl of rice, then 5 minutes later my spicy prawns come out. We try them, find the rice cold and the prawns cool - so,we send it back. Then , the butter chicken appears- cool at best - it gets sent back. The only thing hot ,was the spicy soup!!! It all been sent back........... Eventually we are both eating the dishes we ordered at a respectable temperature. Hot Food!! Then,whilst still eating, a lass arrives asking if she can clear plates ,- that still had food on- unreal What's going on!!! During this episode ,we timed the placement of a single bowl of rice on a table of maybe 10 people. It was nearly 4 minutes before food starting arriving ,plate by plate. Was the rice hot when eaten? Well at £5 a bowl, it bloody well should be!! Then ,when paying for this meal for 2 people,the lass asked me if i wanted my " change" -which was nearly £14 !!! Are these people real? Suffice to say after that experience,I wanted every penny. Not the best experience,we will try elsewhere next time ..... ..

Came here for tea with a mate and my son. My son is quite a picky eater and didn’t like the dish the waiter suggested (I ended up eating the next day and it was delicious) and ordered plain fried rice.

I'm in Newcastle for a few weeks but this store is pretty great. Had the Chili Ban Mian (Pan Mian), its a pretty good balance between a little spicy from the chili paste while the onions and anchovies add a bit of texture to the noodles. It is pretty expensive if you come from other countries considering the exchange rates (applies to all places in the UK) but it has a pretty massive portion and is definitely is a place to try at least once.

The food might be good but the professionalism is below zero. Ordered food on 13/07 at 7pm with estimated delivery around 20:25. Got the food at 21:38. Called the place 3 times to hear different excuses. First time saying the driver was doing some deliveries first, second time it was leaving the restaurant (so not with the driver) and third time "we do not know where your order is". All I got was empty "sorry we are too busy" but if you are unable to do the requests then you should not take it in first place. And nothing, nothing except a terrible management can justify 2h35 to deliver an order.

We were lucky to get a table as it was pretty busy. So, it’s probably best to book in advance. The place looked pretty basic, but the staff were friendly and efficient, plus the food was fantastic. There were lots of vegetarian options (far more than most restaurants, so I was overwhelmed having choices). We had to ask for chopsticks as there were only knives and forks on our table, but a staff member was immediately over with some. I liked that the straws were edible, they were made from rice and more durable than paper straws. It didn’t take long for our order (the starter came out at the same time as the main course). The portions were big, full of flavour and really tasty. I’d highly recommend and will definitely return in the near future.

Do not got to this if you’re a person of colour or black. The instant we walked in the staff were unfriendly, they took the order of the table next us that arrived after us despite being obviously ready to order. Staff took ages to come and to our order, despite not being that busy. Their tone with us was very blunt in comparison to a warm/bubbly to a fully white customers. We bagged up our own leftovers, despite every other table getting their leftovers bagged up.

Found this place on recommendation of a friend. So glad we went! Food was fabulous, spicy, but not too much, large portions with enough to take home. Stars off were for having to go find the waiter to take our order and the time it took (after reminding them) to get the drinks to us. The food however was quick to show up and tasted so good! Little pricey overall, but then where isn't these days. Went on a Thursday evening and had booked online, but there were still a few tables available.

Found this restaurant by chance when visiting Newcastle and I must say it’s one of the best I’ve tried! I ordered a nasi lemak and it tasted exactly like the one I had when I was in Malaysia. Staff were very lovely and helpful, the place was very clean and neat. Food waiting time isn’t long. Portions are pretty big so you get a lot for what you pay for. The only minor downside is the choice of music in the background! Doesn’t go with the restaurant 😅

My dish was so spicy that it wasn't edible! My spice tolerance is very very high. The waitress said that the dish wasn't spicy, so I asked for it to be made hot. When I complained that even the chef wouldn't be able to eat this, I was told that they have an extremely hot chilli paste and the chef hasn't reduced the amount used. No exchange or refund for the meal!

We have been the biggest fans of Chilli Padi since we first started going to their old premises almost 10 years ago. We have always been their biggest fans - takeaways during Covid, always visiting in town for lunch/ tea etc but we were disappointed in recent visit. It is so much more expensive than it was, I understand everything has gone up in price but it was almost £18 for some mains and they just didn’t deliver on taste. Mango chicken wasn’t as tasty as it used to be, firecracker chicken was a small portion for the price and lacked oomph. Kids loved the noodles but me and husband came away feeling robbed. We had no alcohol and food was just mediocre yet we had expensive bill. Please return to previous quality and we’ll be back!

Honestly don't get the hype about this place. We've been two times and both times our experience has been consistently bad. After a very disappointing first time, we decided to give it a go again thinking it was just one off day. We ordered the smoked chicken dish which everyone raves about and to be honest can't understand the craze. Our chicken was dry, tough, hard to chew and tasted like it was dunked it syrup! It was like having chicken for pudding!! The other half ordered Nasi Lemak which definitely didn't taste fresh, the chicken was tough and dry like it's been microwaved to death!! Very disappointing considering the price! All the other dishes we ordered had a common theme, an overload of salt, sugar and probably MSGs! We also ordered jasmine rice only to br served plaim rice but charged for jasmine,which is more expensive. If you enjoy freshly made authentic Malaysian food with quality ingredients, do yourself a favour don't spend your time and money here. Don't be.fooled by the good reviews, it has a cult following mostly made possible by so called local 'influencers' marketing this place in return for free food. If your palate enjoys salty, processed food full of additives then this is the place to be!

We wanted some food after being at the Newcastle game, with the town being super busy and everyone piling out at the same time, we weren't sure we'd get in anywhere, passed Chilli Padi which I've been dying to try out for ages and I thought we'd see if they could fit the two of us in! They were very busy, with booking for eating in and takeaways, but within 10 minutes we had a seat, we'd been looking at the menu whole waiting so ordered pretty quick, we went for the Smoked Chicken (which was what I'd been wanting to try from reviews I'd seen), Sweet and sour chicken, soft noodles and salt and chilli chips. The amount of food was unreal, but it certainly wasn't quantity over quality because everything was super tasty, full of flavour and very quick coming out, the Smoked chicken was perfectly cooked and not too spicy, the sweet and sour was steaming hot and well, exactly what you'd want from a sweet and sour, the best I've had actually. The sides we'd ordered, the soft noodles, were great and I loved the fact there was plenty of veg in them, salt and chilli chips were also beautiful! We couldn't get through all of the food with it just being the two of us, but I didn't want to stop eating, we brought 4 cartons of food home which will be a very enjoyable lunch for the following day! The pricing for the amount of food is really good and actually for what we ordered, I think you could have fed a family of 4, cant wait to go back

I shouldn't put too much expectation upon this trip. 1. Rendang flank is quite far from tender, and the rendang paste just lack that kinda flavour. 2. Should never mix up "satay chicken" with "chicken skewer with satay sauce", my bad. 3. Luckily, the pan fried french beans in spicy sauce is superb. Staffs are friendly though. Will definitely come back again when others not open.

Authentic and great quality. It is hard to find restaurants that serve authentic tastes to far East Asian food rather than a modified westernised recipe with too much sauce or sugar. Chilli Padi did it just right. Such a gem, I'm so glad my friend brought me here. The Laksa chicken noodles were sooooo good. Spicy enough to make me ask for extra water but friendly enough for my friend to help herself for more servings. Reasonable prices too. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try real far East Asian food in Newcastle. Interior is clean, modern and decorated with a cute graffiti counter. Update: since my first visit, I've come here plenty of times for catching up with friends and even for a date. :P🌹 They do takeaways and deliveries too!

The food was delicious. Staff very friendly but my criticism is that our dishes didn't arrive all at once to the table. There were three of us. They first brought a plate of chips which was a side to my son's main, several minutes later they brought my daughter's main, then after some time my son's and eventually mine. It's not ideal the rest of your party has to wait while others are already eating. At the same time waiting for all the of the dishes to arrive would mean the food brought first would get cold. They need to coordinate this better as the food is delicious and this part of the service is getting them down.

We've been here at least 4 times now and have really enjoyed it each time. I especially recommend the smoked chicken and the portions are large enough so they're very good value for money!

Lovely meal. Very tasty authentic food. Highly recommend the smoked chicken, the chefs special Chong Qing spicy chicken with egg fried rice. And the Chicken potato in CP honey pepper sauce. We will definitely return. Top tip - these guys know how to add heat to their food. If it says that it is a hot dish, then it really is. The Chong Qing was packed full of delicious chillis. I would scale it similar to a very hot madras for comparison of heat.

I thoroughly enjoyed a Saturday lunch at Chilli Padi in central Newcastle upon Tyne. It's a simple but modern café-style place, a short walk from the football ground. Such decor suits me perfectly as visiting is all about the food; traditional Malaysian cuisine. Service was welcoming and efficient. I was tempted by the beef rendang but went for nasi goreng kampung, a classic Malaysian dish, plus sweet and sour chicken. The dishes were big on flavour and I look forward to returning to try a bowl of rendang.

I have been to Chilli Padi many times and their food is always delicious, authentic and generous. Everything I have tried on the menu is scrumptious, served in huge portions. I particularly love their Laksa, the salt and chilli fried starters and their interesting cocktails. Staff are always friendly and nice. They try their best to accommodate walk-ins as well. The ambience is lively and relaxed. There is a parking lot right opposite which is quite useful too. Chilli Padi remains a great choice for food in the area.

Great all round experience. Huge selection of choices on the menu. Reasonably priced and served nicely. Hot flavoursome and copious. Service was good and the place was buzzing as usual. Highly recommend for a drop in lunch or a night out with friends.

Anything Malaysian... you will find it here. The better choice when craving for Malaysian meals. Reasonable price. Come early. Otherwise, you may need to wait.

We've been to Nudo Noodle House many times over the years and enjoyed it. With this big new change we were keen to give it a go. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. The idea is great, the place nice and the staff very good too. But the food was a let down. We had the Tonkotsu broth, one of our favourites for Pork Ramen but it was very weak and watered down compared to other places - we had to add a lot of soy, sesame oil and other condiments to get some flavour. The area for selecting the ingredients is very small and so even when moderately busy it's a bit of a pain trying to get to them. The scales for checking the cost are by the till - with a queue there and the staff also using them, we couldn't easily get to check and weigh our stuff as we went along. Another set of scales would help. The bowls were shallow metal, and rather than soup ladles we were given small metal spoons. These would slip into the bowl if left for a moment along the side (soup ladles have lips on the end for this reason). They were so small too that it was frustrating getting the liquid from bowl to mouth. As a customer, I'm not a chef. I selected ingredients I like individually, but they didn't quite work together (a better Tonkotsu would have helped there though). When I eat out, I pay an expert - a chef - to do the work for me as they know best. It was fun, but at the end of the day the food was a let down. We'll stick with the related Umai Mi restaurant from now on, as some of the Nudo staff are there, also many of the old Nudo dishes. As another review pointed out, a similar amount of (better) food at the previous Nudo would be around half the price.

Love this restaurant. It's a bit quirky and more traditional Thai environment as a pose to a fancy restaurant but the Thai food is amazing and prices are reasonable. They only take cash too.

Después de leer algunos comentarios negativos, tuve que agregar mis pensamientos. Habiendo aparecido en una hora de almuerzo para una caja para llevar de comida mixta. Tienes que seleccionar y llenar tu caja desde el baño maría al lado de la ventana. El lugar es pequeño y estábamos haciendo cola con la oficina local y los trabajadores de la construcción. Nos sorprendió tanto la buena relación calidad-precio de la comida que decidimos regresar unos días más tarde para sentarnos dentro y nuevamente quedamos muy impresionados con la comida y el servicio.

Walked a long way to visit after seeing good reviews - only to find it shut - even though I had checked online that it was open. Best call ahead if you are making an effort to get there.
