Nadon Thai - Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Lovely service, tasty food, nice atmosphere, happy hour is a great deal!

Amazing food at a very good price too. The staff were lovely. We had some nice Mai Thai cocktails right away then my partner had a lovely Thai Singha beer with the main course. Very good service and plenty of food to keep you full for all day !

We were looking for a Chinese or Thai restaurant in the city centre and this place popped up on a review. Nice decor and pleasant staff. Good to be able to get a pint of draft lager to enjoy during the meal. We had a sharing starter and two of the recommended mains - a Pad Thai and another traditional dish that I can't remember the name of (something to do with Basil I think) which had subtle spicing. Would visit again if in the area.

Having read reviews prior to visiting expectations were high, however, a cold unwelcoming atmosphere, dated and dirty decor gave a poor first impression upon arriving! Things did not improve, was given tap water which tasted very odd and undrinkable. Singha beer on draught had an unpleasant, drain like aroma. Ordered starters, which I believe, were microwaved frozen chicken satay skewers, Thai fishcakes which had no taste and the texture of rubber. Mains of Pad Thai prawn which were bland, greasy and dense. The peanut topping was crushed salted peanuts, think KP!!!! Possibly one the worst dining experiences of my 53 years on earth. Please avoid and spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

Great food, polite service, unfortunately we were the only table in the restaurant at lunchtime so there was no atmosphere, not the restaurants fault.

Food was okay but not amazing...

We've been countless times over past few years. The decor is incredible. The workmanship of the wordwork is too notch creating an authentic feel to the place. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. It's a joy to visit. From all our visits, the food has always impressed. It's visually stunning on the plate, perfectly cooked & exciting flavours abound. No matter how busy its been or how big our group is, the service has always been quick and efficient with a smile. My partner likes to experiment with the menu options each visit whereas the beef massaman curry is my own personal favourite. The chef is trully talented as we have tried Thai cuisine elsewhere but nowhere surpasses Nadon Thai.

Amazing Thai food! So good I visited twice in one week! all the food I had was delish and so flavoursome, there are great options for vegetarians and the service is always great. Looking forward to my next visit already. Updated: went again, another delicious experience! Had the early bird deal which was great value for money and the food was amazing as ever!

The food was excellent, arrived quickly and the staff were very friendly. There were four of us and everyone really enjoyed our food. Would highly recommend

Good service if a little rushed. Felt like they wanted us in, fed and out again. The food however was really nice and really filling

Good Thai food with nice staff in a very pleasant setting. Recommended!

We ordered glass noodles salad, Thai fish cakes, Pad Thai Noodles, Tom Yum Seabass and Mai Thai. Except for Pad Thai noodles, the rest was all new for us. Delicious Thai cuisine! We were pretty satisfied 😋😋😋

Tasty food, small kids menu, kids portions were very generous and everyone left very satisfied. The restaurant has nice decor.

Excellent food. They were short a chef and advised us ahead of time of a possible delay in getting our food. However, we received both the appetizers and mains in a timely manner. The place had only a few customers when we went around 7:00 pm but were continually filling take out orders. I highly recommend for excellent Thai food, pleasant music and fine service.

Very good service and attention from the waiter and excellent food. Highly recommended.

Glad that we found this restaurant. Had an amazing meal here. Starters were great and came out so quick. Recommend the Thai beef. The panang curry and massaman curry were unreal. Stick toffee pud for dessert and was not disappointed at all. Great portions

So glad we found this restaurant. Over the moon with the service and the staff were so so friendly. Food was done really quickly and so so good. Recommend the Thai beef starter and the panang curry and massaman were unreal. Sticky toffee pud portion was large and tasted amazing . Will definitely be back

The food was nice and warm - the service was great too. Thanks to the restaurant staff for the enjoyable meal.

Been here a few times now and never let's us down. Delicious food that packs a taste punch. Chicken satay sticks were delicious, tender with a beautiful satay sauce. Weeping Tiger Steak and Beef Masamman curry were superb and full of flavour.

Delicious food and great service. We popped here for lunch and they had a great lunchtime deal. We will definitely be back 😁

I’ve ordered their papaya salad and Pad Thai. Pad Thai is good but the papaya salad taste bitter. Overall experience is good, staff is friendly and great atmosphere!

beautiful restaurant! food was delicious and staff were lovely, highly recommended :)

Great Thai food and excellent value for money. The salt and pepper squid starter and lamb curry are delicious! The interior of the restaurant is decorated beautifully and the staff give 5* service.

My recent visit to Nadon Thai left me with mixed feelings. While the food was enjoyable and the ambiance was pleasant, the service experience was marred by one particular waitress with red nail polish. Her unprofessional behavior, including eye-rolling and rude remarks, was disappointing and detracted from an otherwise pleasant evening. Fortunately, the other waitstaff were friendly and courteous, helping to salvage the overall experience. Hopefully, management addresses this issue to ensure consistently excellent service for all patrons.

Service brilliant, find ws very disappointed

Popped in for the happy hour special, tasty red curry and drunken noodles. The staff are ever so friendly, will be back.

I've been to Nandon a few times recently and it's always been good. They have nice tapas options where you can try a few different dishes. I got the Fabulous Tapas option which had Massaman Chicken Curry, Jasmine Rice, Duck Spring Rolls and Prawn Toast with sesame seeds. The food was very nice, the service friendly and quick. At lunch time on a Friday it wasn't busy so it was easy to get a table.

Absolutely great place for dinner. Food is incredible, good service and nice atmosphere!

They’ve got a pretty good value happy hour menu between 5:30 to 6:30 every day which includes two courses for about £15. The spring rolls and the pad thai were both fine, but nothing memorable. I’d probably try the tom yum or red/green curry next time.

Excellent food, good prices, prompt service, highly recommended

OMG this was some of the best Thai food we ever had! Nice and hot. Fast friendly service. Toilets very nice. Loved the decor especially the beautiful paintings on the wall as you walk towards Toilets. Just gorgeous! It was a cold rainy day and this nice hot Thai food was perfect! Highly recommend!

Panang curry have a good kick favor. Lovely

A random choice as neither myself or friend had been before. Stunning food and wonderful service was had. I am a picky person as I am vegetarian and cook well. This was stunning food, tasty, hot and not over flavoured. The service was extremely polite with an almost gentle approach. Very well done. Completely recommended.

Could not have had a better experience! Atmosphere is so nice and cozy and the staff are amazing! The service was very quick, even though it was super busy, and all the food was beautiful and tasted delicious. Will definitely be coming back :)

Two words - food heaven. My goodness what a proper tastey delight! Couldn’t fault the food at all. It was the type of food that makes you do yummy noises. Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu!

We there Saturday on the off chance was lucky enough to get a table for two service and food is excellent well worth a visit

I've visited here for meals a number of times and the food has always been great but last night we returned and it has really gone downhill (or we hit a bad night). The satay chicken was overcooked and chewy and the Thai curries we chose had very little chicken in them. The main issue we had though was the doorbell. I don't remember this from precious visits but they seem to have installed a doorbell that plays a series of doorbell chimes everytime a meal is ready to be brought up from the kitchen. As you can imagine on a busy evening this is constant! There is no music and the sounds are loud so it ruins any atmosphere or chance at conversation. So overall we were really disappointed this time.

I ordered on Uber eats. It was delivered quickly. I ordered Pad Kra Pao. There was a warning that this was very spicy, it was so mild that i thought they uad sent me the wrong dish. No rice included which for a dish always served over rice wa a let down. It was okay tasting at best but it tasted like a generic gravy. I have travelled extensively within Thailand and Pad Kra Pao is one of my favourit dishes. This was a hige disappointment. Very few chillis (2 small slices in the whole dish), lacking fish sauce, generic gravy flavour that tasted more chinese than Thai. Expensive given the lack of rice and not authentic to any region I have ever visited. Massive rework needed.

Fantastic Thai food! Not been before but will be back and will recommend! Great happy hour menu!

2024 review: 4.5 The specials were excellent. Lamb shank massaman had a silky thick sauce with so much flavour - perfect winter food. My Tom yum prawn dish was huge, with lovely levels of sour tang. Lip smackingly good. Starter platter was mostly delicious expecially prawn toast and fish cakes, but chicken satay was dry and tasted a day old. Curries are excellent. In fact I'm dreaming of slurping the sauces right now. Not lots of vibe on an early Tuesday evening, but if you get a window seat you can watch the world go by and get a little privacy for your conversation. Recommend 2023 review: Had a lovely post work dinner here with colleagues. Beef penang with coconut rice is highly recommended. Flavourful, fragrant and fairly generous portions. The lamb massaman looked excellent too. Mango sticky rice was a tad too dry this time and the rice could have done with a bit more flavour. Overall a great option for a Thai meal. Service and interior is lovely. Tables a little close together at the back so a loud group of men was very audible for us. And we were perhaps a little loud for the young couple sitting there before them. Bill came to £22 each for everyone having mains, soft drinks and desserts. Recommend!

Went there on Monday with my family, to celebrate my birthday, I was not disappointed. The food was good, the staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely go again.

Lovely staff and service and delicious food. Would recommend Nadon very highly.

The staff were so nice, food was quick to come out and delicious. Definitely going back

Lovely food and superb service.. enjoyed my cocktail too. But, please get some heating on and heat plates up when serving food.

Found several of these little white/ transparent cloth fibres in the pad thai noodles completely put me off so didn't eat and Unfortunately the food was disposed of, it wasn't consumable.

Only marked down the atmosphere because it was so quiet at lunchtime. But it was the week before Newcastle restaurant week and just after new year. Food is excellent

Food was not good at all. Very dry chicken, and not much flavour. Staff are friendly, though, and service was okay. Unfortunately, would not recommend and will not be returning.

Ordered food online for this restaurant with a delivery time of just over an hour. No communication sent but food never arrived. At 11.30 pm my delivery time was changed until 12.10am. When 12.10 am came (3 hours after originally ordering) my order was cancelled. I emailed the restaurant the following day to offer the opportunity to explain and I am still waiting for a response 1 month later.

My favourite Thai restaurant. Love the Massaman curry so much

Amazing! Great atmosphere with really cute seating (an old boat and a cartwheel) and great decor. The service was super nice and the food sooooo good.

Satay chicken for starter was bland and dry as if it was pre made. Nadon special fried rice was nice but could have done with more beef. Family seemed to love it so think I picked the wrong items. Prefer mantra if you’re looking for Thai food, however nadon is more budget friendly.

Chicken satay was dry and bland for starter. Nadon special fried rice was nice but could’ve done with more beef. Would recommend to order something off the stir fry menu and add rice rather than this.

Much cheaper than I expected, service was a little slow but it wasn't that busy, lighting and decor could be better as it is quite bland but that's just personal preference. Overall I enjoyed my visit and the food was good which is what is important here Excuse the poor photos the yellow lighting does not do well with my phone

Fantastic food and great service. Prawn sesame toast and Chicken Penang...

I have been going to Nadon for over 10 years now. Firstly in Morpeth and the last 5 years this branch in Newcastle so put my review here. I recently went with my fiancé for happy hour to spend quality time together as he was going to be away for a while with work. The food was as always beautiful and so tasty full of flavour. The happy hour deal is very good value. The food is super fresh - I especially enjoyed my starter of sweetcorn fritters. We were let down as we went for 5:30pm and were the only ones in the restaurant. When the next table came in they were seated on the next table a foot away. In a completely empty restaurant at 5:45pm on a Tuesday. It was very quiet and made us feel very awkward and not quite the quality time we hoped for. For this reason I take a star off.

I visited for the first time yesterday evening. We were greeted warmly, and service was very efficient and friendly. The restaurant had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and was spotlessly clean. The food was very well presented and tasted fresh and delicious! We had the Happy Hour 2 course meal plus some prawn toast as an extra. We throughly enjoyed our meal and would definitely re visit and recommend.

Food - perfect. Two meat eaters and one vegan. All meals perfectly presented, flavours perfectly balanced and incredibly tasty. Staff - helpful, attentive and knowledgeable about vegan options Value - great! Will return to try other menu items. Would recommend the Penang curry.

Lovely restaurant with great food and attentive staff. Ordered the Panang Curry in the vid, and Pad Thai to take away. I’m normally really picky about Pad Thai but loved it from here! Will return whenever I’m in Newcastle

Had a takeaway, the food was really lovely and fresh. Would recommend, I have a prawn stir fry with prawn toast delicious

Amazing good food, great service...all you would want and expect at a reasonable price. Thank you for a great experience.

Authentisch eingerichtetes Thai Restaurant mir guter Bedienung und super Küche.Die Karte ist nicht zu gross und für jeden Geschmack was dabei auch Vegetarier.

Meal for two plus wine around £48

We had the Pad Thai and green curry and found both really delicious and authentic. The portions sizes were great and overall we felt the food offered great value. Our waiter was also really polite and the food came quickly. Would definitely recommend.

We popped in for the early evening special that's on between half 5 and half 6 daily whilst out for a few beers. The food was delicious, fantastic quality for the price we paid, chicken satay, sweetcorn fritters, massanan curry and panang curry, both served with rice, and a couple of beers all for just over £40. The staff were polite and friendly, the restaurant is set out nicely, and easy access at the bottom of town. Well be back to set about the main menu soon. Highly recommended!

Great food and great service can not fault the food or experience at all would highly recommend

Superb experience and delicious food, staff were friendly and atmosphere fantastic , greta value for money also. Would 10/10 recommend for a Thai in Newcastle.

We were visiting the area and decided to come here based on the great reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience - the food arrived hot and full of flavour, there was a wide range of options available. The staff were very attentive and kind. We will definitely come back if we are in the area!

Really nice restaurant with authentic Thai food.

Thai food was never my first choice but my opinion may have changed ! Came here with some work colleagues and it was excellent. A varied menu and great service made it a nice experience.

It was great and fresh very kind people

Booked via website- phone call 20 minutes later advising of booking confirmation. Arrived to empty restaurant at 130, another table of 4 arrived within 10 min. Quick drinks order - bottle house white £17 which is good considering location. I had the tapas with chicken Thai red curry, rice, shumai ( steamed pork dumplings) and spring rolls. Hubby had duck, chicken in a sauce (no6!), rice and spring rolls. Dishes were quickly served, hot and extremely tasty! Very filling for a tapas style lunch- can’t wait to go back in an evening Definitely recommend- service was fabulous, friendly And welcoming Can’t believe ever been here in all times we eaten in town.

Ate here with my partner on holiday and it was absolutely lovely. The food was wonderful and fresh and was prepared to perfection. Lots of options for vegetarians too as you can choose veg and tofu to have in many of the dishes, which was great to see, and one of the main reasons I chose to give Nadon Thai a try. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Will definitely be coming here again in the future. If you're looking for a place for superb Thai food, this is it. Go here, it will not disappoint.

Went with family who had been previously and raved about the venue. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you Phil and Jane for the experience. Thanks to the chefs and staff will be returning soon.

We recently ate here on a Saturday evening, the service was very good. The food was even better. We had the Thai Red Curry, Soup, chicken wings and chicken satay. The cost was £40 for 2 of us with large bottle of water. Would definitely recommend.

Probably the best Thai we have ever had! Amazing restaurant, wonderful service and amazing food. We visited today and ordered from the lunch tapas menu lovely portions, excellent quality! We will be back x

Have been many times both as a couple and with friends. Delicious food, fresh and always tasty. Staff lovely too. I have thoroughly enjoyed it every time I’ve been

Beautiful food....first visit... the prawn basil stir fry and steak sizzling plate were to die for. Noodles were amazing. Great flavours. The Shiraz red wine was good. A really lovely experiece. Will return soon

Food was some of the best we have eaten! Great price for the quality of the food. Service was excellent and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Delicious food, reasonable prices and pretty good service.

Great food, they even do a special menu ...

The sauce with the curry was very thin and watery. Nothing special

Really great vegetarian pad thai

This restaurant has a fun ambience, with a little thatched roof over the bar. The food is very tasty with a menu format that allows for all dishes to be made meat or vegetarian as wanted, giving a huge amount of flexibility. We very much enjoyed our curries. Good drink selection too.

This is a let down from start to finish. Food was tasteless when Thai food should have flavour and be aromatic. Turmeric all over the skewers so you get it all over your hands. Main course was coconut rice with a bland chicken ginger. There was no slices of ginger either whole or in flavouring. Exceptionally poor. This is the only Thai restaurant that is capable of making chicken tough and chewy. Which suggests it wasn't cooked freshly. Don't bother to cross the threshold.

The food here is amazing!! We had panang chicken and beef drunken noodles, the panang curry was so flavourful and lots of meat with just a little spice! The noodles were delicious and the beef was tender. We will definitely be back!

Food ok, toilets smell horrendous, not sure id return

Absolutely love Nadon Thai, the food is amazing and staff are lovely. Our food every time has tasted fresh and delicious

Really good food and great service

Lovely food, lovely staff. I am looking forward to our next visit.

Feel a bit let down by recent reviews on here cos my experience didn't match theirs. Maybe I didn't order well but none of the food I had was great. Not much atmosphere but I guess it was a quiet time. Service, attentive but not great. Might need to return to see the best of this place, but I won't.

Great food, quick service. Very nice will be going again.

Wonderful Thai food served by delightful hosts. A delicious taste of Thailand in the Toon!

This has to be one of my favourite Thai restaurants. The service is amazing, and the restaurant has a lovely ambience. Our food was relish, so fresh and piping hot. Can’t wait to return

Wonderful Thai food. The service was a little lacking on this visit, but still really enjoyed the evening.

Excellent food, friendly staff, loved the atmosphere

Very nice surroundings. We chose from the 2 courses for £12.95 menu. Choice of Thai soup or various starters followed by a choice of various Thai mains, served with rice. Tasty, authentic food. Recommended.

Superb find on a wet and rainy Thursday evening. Superb service, great atmosphere and the food is just heavenly. Highly recommend the Pad Thai prawn.
