Bangrak Thai - Newcastle upon Tyne

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!

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!

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.

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

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
