OrangeGrass Thai Restaurant in South Tyneside

Brilliant experience all round would highly recommend A++++

Superb in every way. Highly recommended. Superb food, superb service. Very attentive helpful staff going above and beyond. Plus, there's a large public car park next door.

Enjoyedvour meal at Orangegrass and the service was efficient. Only one other table in as we were dining early so atmosphere lacking but I'm sure it would be better later in the evening. Parking right next to the restaurant

Halal Chinese. Reasonable. Recommend for the buffet.

We visited this restaurant for my husbands birthday. Upon arrival, the staff are very welcoming and the atmosphere is so relaxed and calming. We both ordered from set menu B, £20 per person for 3 courses. Such amazing value for money!! Mixed starter to share was absolutely incredible, such an array of flavours and a great was to taste a little bit of everything. For main I had the stir fried chicken with cashew nuts and my partner had the green curry with chicken. My dish was so delicious, the nuts really added to the flavours and the chicken was so tender, they were both served with the fluffiest rice. I ended with and ice cream and my husband a coffee. We left with full tummy’s and will definitely be back!

Amazing meal and great service. We came on a Tuesday night and it was a real buzz. The waiter was super efficient and the food was second to none. Don’t hesitate … come pay a visit

So my first impressions were the size of the restaurant is a lot smaller than before and they also had a different entrance. The restaurant needs to be renovated. Pink and purple walls and ceilings, old red carpets, red overused leather chairs - it’s just not a nice vibe. There floor didn’t look clean either. I would suggest new interior and menus and make it look modern. The service was great however, the waitress was lovely and we managed to book a table an hour before arriving which was great.

We ordered beef massaman curry, jasmine rice and deep fried chicken. The food quality was appalling. The massaman curry was extremely watery. It had no seasoning at all, didn't taste like anything. The rice wasn't fragrant and the chicken was chewy and rubbery. Really disappointed with the food. Definitely wouldn't return.

Visited Orange grass the other night and had a delicious meal, food was incredible good, as was the service, the staff were warm welcoming and efficient.

I have been going to orangegrass for 14 years and I have never had a bad experience. The food is always amazing, the staff are always warm and welcoming and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The soups and salads are unbelievable and the chicken with cashews in a chilli sauce is my absolute favourite. Amazing value for money too. Probably the best restaurant in South Shields

Today is my son's birthday. The Thai food is very delicious, and the staff even helped prepare a surprise in the evening. Thank you so much🥰😍😁😉🥳

Really really really excellent service👍👍and the foods are so great 👍👍

Dined here on Thursday 29th February and would highly recommend as the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and courteous. Will be returning soon.

I've ordered several times from this restaurant for delivery and it's never been on time. I've finally had enough and wont be ordering again. Order placed at 19:10, estimated delivery time was 20:17. Received an email at 19:18 saying the order would be delayed by 10 mins. No big deal. Called the restaurant at 20:44 as still no delivery and was told 6-7 minutes. Order finally arrived 21:05. Food was cold, stodgy, very little sauce with the main, and way past its best. Had to put the food in the microwave which is far from ideal, so we ended up leaving most of it. Called the shop to complain at 21:30 to be told that there was NO WAY the delivery turned up at 21:05 and i was just a LIAR. The guy on the phone said he had no qualms giving refunds but in this case he wasn't going to do anything. I hadn't even brought the subject up. Overall, this was just an abysmal experience from a very poor restaurant. STAY AWAY.

Clean and nicely decorated room. Excellent service and well presented tasty food at a reasonable price.

Took my niece here for a night out, food was lovely couldn't complain. Unfortunately service was a let down, after our table was cleared, nobody asked us if wanted anything else, so after 35 mins we asked a waitress if we could order something else, she acknowledged and then the bill came! I was a little sharp with the waiter (sorry) I explained that I didn't want the bill but wanted to order coffees, he said OK and said has nobody asked you? No they hadn't. He did say sorry but we just felt forgotten about, which is a shame as the food is lovely. Maybe next time won't be forgotten, no hot towels no desserts 😔

Not a good service, food was late 30 min. Literally rang them to remind them I had ordered online delivery. I had to wait other 40 min 😩

It’s always a special treat going to Orangegrass. It’s situated just outside the town centre and worth finding. Atmosphere staff and food was excellent, no faults from either of us. They also do takeaways and deliveries.

Fantastic food and great service.

I was very pleased with the food and service, we were early therefore not many other people in the restaurant

We've been eating here for years & I can honestly say it's the best Thai food it's always delicious the service is quick & the staff are lovely

I have spent many weeks in Thailand and love the food with their subtle spices. This Thai restaurant is the best I have found outside of Thailand .. Well worth a try ..

Superb restaurant, beautiful décor. Helpful and attentive waiters. The food was absolutely delicious and very well presented.

Acceptable for south shields standards. Not as authentic as expected. Understandably heavily anglicised to suit local community otherwise the business wouldn’t sustain.

Lovely food, fantastic service and decent prices. Definitely worth a visit if you like Thai food. Enjoy 😋

The staff was very pleasant and explained which dishes I could have. The food was very nice and well presented.

Great service. Lovely food. Lovely staff. I would highly recommend

Still great food and friendly staff after all this time.

Ordered a takeaway on Saturday the 13th May 2023 which was simply a green Thai curry with Rice. We collected the meal ourselves and returned home with it immediately. It had extremely limited water-like sauce, a few slices of onion and 4 small prawns in it. Oh, and one piece of random tomato. I took a picture of the meal which I will try and upload with this review. What a sorry excuse this was for what turned out to be an expensive takeaway!! If this is the type of rubbish the Orange grass are putting out, we won't be going back there in a hurry. This was one of the worst takeaways I've had in a long time, and I'm really not easily put off by things. I've never left a review on here but felt compelled to do so for this meal. I only gave it 2 stars because the small amount of food we did get was actually quite tasty, otherwise it would have been a deserving 1 star.

Tried for the first time tonight, fair drive from Sunderland ! - menu comprehensive, food lovely, staff friendly, restaurant nice. From the outside looks iffy but inside food and service was first class - will definitely return despite the distance !

Beautiful food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Mid week meal after work, very quiet

Went here tonight party of six 5* food and service absolutely spot on highly recommend it to anyone 😋😁

Always an excellent experience here. We've eaten here and had takeaway and both are delicious. Service is excellent. Would highly recommend

Visited the Sunday buffet for the first time . The manager was very pleasant, got us a seat and explained how it worked. The place itself is lovely and he even brought a heater as it was quite cold in there. First thing we found while visiting the buffet was the plates were very cold which isn't a good start, the choice of food was very limited and mostly barely warm, so by the time it went on the cold plates was then cold too. There was very little sauce in the food and the blackbean sauce was far too spicy. Red hot!! Dessert was shop bought cake, fresh fruit or tasteless cheap ice cream which we had to ask for (wish we hadn't bothered). For the price it was very disappointing and certainly wouldn't go again or recommend it. Shame really as we were so looking forward to it.

The first time we have been to the monthly sunday buffet, great choice of food which is always well stocked with fresh piping hot dishes .

Food was good, staff were great .. only issue was it is upstairs and we had an old person with us. If we had known about stairs we might have left her at home

Lovely food, very pleasant and helpful staff. Be aware this is an upstairs resteraunt 3 flights, steep and different lengths. The toilets are very narrow and down a flight of stairs. There are no baby changing facilities but space was provided twice. There were some heating issues the night we went but hopefully these will be sorted. They were very helpful with vegan requirements, but my daughter in law would have liked a bit more tufu and vegtables in her dish. We will go back but not with my disabled mother because of the stairs.

Best Thai food in the North East

Very tasty food and nice spacious restaurant

On a scale of 1-10 this is the best curry I’ve ever had!!

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Beautiful Thai meal (very tasty and authentic. My partner travelled around Thailand for 6 months and he even said how stunning it was). Decor was very nice too and price well worth it. Service was second to none. Couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you for such a fantastic evening. We will be back - 10/10.

Usually a very lovely place. Beautiful food and helpful staff. Also usually no issues with delivery. Tonight we waited 2 hours for food. I called three times, and I was told each time it would be a few minutes. I ended up waiting a further 45 minutes from the initial call. The lady on reception said she would call back and didn't. When we rang back up she said she couldnt get hold of him. The man delivering, Manager? Was very rude. So the food, which at this point should have been in his car 45 mins as the lady on reception said it was in his car over 45 mins away, just laughed when we asked if it would be cold. When I said if it is cold we may have to cancel, he just tried to grab it flippantly and said okay I can take it before we had even checked. No apology and very unprofessional. Just found him rude and tonight's service really poor unfortunately. This has put me off using orangegrass in the future. Shame.

First class food and service,very friendly staff.

Had a brilliant meal here, fish cake starter was lovely and a chicken dirty curry for main meal 😋

Good place, good food in offer. Soggy rice not massively impressed by that.

What a find! Have lived in Shields for many years and had no idea this tucked away gem existed. Beautiful food, professional staff and very friendly. We will be back.Cannot fault.

Visited this evening, we were all delighted! The starters arrived and all 3 of us had to take pictures of them before we tucked in. We loved them but also liked the look of what the others had ordered. The mains were just as good :) Our waiter Titu was friendly, helpful and efficient which just topped off the evening. Absolutely much more than we'd hoped for...

Been many times and always enjoyed. today had the yellow curry edible but not fantastic ingredients have changed for the worse.

A beautiful meal served with a smile nothing too much trouble. Thankyou for making it a special evening highly recommended.

Yet another delicious meal at The Orangegrass. There’s nothing else like it in the area and it’s the tastiest, authentic Thai food you can have. Id really recommend the ped grob. Have it every time I go. The buffet banquets on Sundays are fabulous as well, great way to be able to try out lots of different dishes and discover something new!

Lovely food and great staff. Took off one star as soft drinks are really expensive

This place is amazing. The food is excellent. Staff not intrusive and very attentive. Nothing is to much trouble. The food was amazing. The sharing platter starter was delicious along with the main course. Superb value for money.

Returned here for our wedding anniversary meal. Last time was about 3 years ago and enjoyed the meal. This time the food was lovely but we were served the wrong dish twice. The prawn starter became chicken and the duck main also became chicken. Maybe that's all they had to cook! Shame. Also our dessert was forgotten about and had to remind them.

Ordered from here last night , absolutely disgusting , never in my life will I order from here again, rice was soggy over cooked , no taste absolutely rotten

Rotten food no meat just 2 prawn shells never in my life seen food like this went straight in bin Rotten to the core stay clear

The food was lovely and the girl who served us was very pleasant would definitely go back and recommend

Everything was lovely except the beef starter which spoilt the experience, described as Grilled marinated beef in a special sauce with coriander shoots and garlic. Just too pieces of dried up, non marinated meat, no sauce, garlic or coriander shoots. Really terrible overshadowed the rest of the food.

great place,excellent food and really nice staff,looked after from the moment you step into the door, 😁

Loved it, can't wait to get back. Yum !

The food here is really nice, the best Thai in the area. Take away is just as nice as eating in and the food is always ready on time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So, me and my girlie popped up to Newcastle for my birthday, and as a special treat was gifted with tickets to see the Magpies do there stuff at St James's park....However on our day of arrival (my birthday), I fancied a Chinese do you think we could find one with in a twenty minute drive of our hotel? Could we heck as like! We actually ended up at a (very nice) pizza hut... However, four days later we stumbled across this unassuming eatery on our way back from South Shields, and what a find! From the outside this establishment doesn't look particularly appealing, but, trust me, it was well worth a visit up the rickety staircase to a very clean very well laid out restaurant. We were greeted in a traditional style by our waitress who led us to a nice table on the mezzanine overlooking the eatery. Our entertainment was provided by a rather excitable chef who was screaming and shouting at the top of her voice in her native tongue... The menu was packed with goodies and a wide selection of Chinese/Asian fayre. I opted for the chicken and sweetcorn soup for starters and it didn't disappoint! We both had sour fry for our main course and it was not only well presented it was truly delicious and flavoursome. The drinks menu offered not only the usual choices, but also a small selection of cocktails and mocktails. I opted for an alcohol free Pina Colada. The staff were great, very friendly, and you could see that they work as a team. This is not an overly expensive destination, and worth every single penny of our hard earned southern cash! Do yourself a favour, and pop in for a great experience

Excellent food , staff very helpful and pleasant will defoe go back

Great food, great atmosphere and lovely staff.

first time having eating at orangegrass after being recommened. staff very friendly and food was amazing. will be going back again

We went for a treat for my Birthday it was lovely. X

I have to say my first visit cannot fault customer service from Nee and Thu sorry if spelling wrong amazing food excellent service and help on what to order as was first visit enjoyed every minute would recommend will be back without a doubt x

This was an outstanding meal. Everything about it. We were a large table, seven of us, but this didn’t impact the service or quality at all. The service was first rate and the food was sublime. Special mention for the soup and the lamb massamam curry that I had. Really excellent.

Really poor customer service, food was nice. The owner is very rude! Got bookings mixed up. Maybe have more people working. Drinks were flat

Fantastic food, including a great selection of vegetarian options, a lovely environment and super-friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food as always so tasty full of Thai flavours. Waiter was very helpful as I was keen to have a meal with strong kafier lime leaf flavours and recommended the perfect dish. Food is always so well presented.

Rude and very disrespectful staff that charge customers incorrectly, check your bill is correct but expect to be hung up on when you bring this to staffs attention. After years of custom and loyalty we won’t be ordering from here again.

Love this place, so helpful, great food. Looking forward to our next visit

My family and I had a lovely experience this evening, the food was delicious and the service was excellent , I recommend this restaurant to all.

Really friendly staff and amazing full flavour food to match.

Received a warm welcome in this spacious restaurant. The service was slick and the food ( a duck dish and a king prawn dish) was delicious. With not being in the town centre there is plenty of parking nearby.

We enjoyed a lovely banquet meal from the menu, early bird price fantastic value and delicious food. Staff were really friendly and helpful would definitely go again

Ordered a takeaway and was a bit skeptical as hadn't ordered from here before but it was really good! Great price, massive portions and really tasty. My partner, who is extremely fussy, loved it so definitely a win there!

Used to be a regular here but thought the service was going down, decided to try it again last night and it's even worse although the food was still nice which is a shame that the customer service is bad We were served our food...

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL OWNER - very rude and disrespectful and unprofessional. Won’t be going again after the indecent… Very small portions didn’t really fill me up and we got starters too The food is ok but it doesn’t come as meal with sides so ends up being pricey for what it is.

THE BEST Thai delivery! Thoroughly enjoyed the last 10 deliveries over the past 6 months… thank you Orangegrass 💙

I used to love this place 10 years ago however it's now absolutely rubbish. I had no thai fishcake in my mixed starter nor the sauce to go with it and what was there was cold crap. The beef in my green curry was the...

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, charming staff. Also very clean. Thoroughly recommend it especially if you enjoy authentic Thai cuisine.

Absolutely amazing meal tonight, starters and main course all beautifully prepared and presented and tasted divine. Can't recommend highly enough.

1st time ordering, was nice, would order again

Highly recommended, great food excellent service

Lovely food, entrance way decor is a bit dim n dismal but food and staff were fab, would defo go back

Haven’t been in this restaurant since before lockdown but again didn’t disappoint. Food,as always, was delicious.service was friendly and social distancing was clearly evident.

Amazing food great service and very good value

I was very disappointed after reading all the positive reviews. The Tum Yum was the worst I have ever had. The Pad Thai was awful with over cooked chicken and the rest of the meal was a complete disaster. However the staff were good and the prawn crackers edible, thank god for small mercies.

Took my wife out for a nice Thai meal. Staff are so nice, meal was absolutely fantastic. Brilliant from start to finish. Well done Orangegrass😀👍

Fabulous friendly place with amazing Thai food

Lovely food, lovely staff, great atmosphere and looked after from walking in to leaving. Highly recommended ! 👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice food. First visit but will be back. Very busy with 'eat out to help out'

Went to orangegrass this evening for a long awaited catch up with some family. So much amazing food to choose from and nothing is too much trouble for the warm, welcoming and friendly service. The food is delicious and brilliantly presented. Even the kids loved their choices from the kids menu. Turned out to be a bargain too with the government eat out scheme. Can not recommend this place enough. Can't wait to return again soon.
