We are lucky to have an Old Siam in York where we live and eat there regularly so when in Newcastle with a party of 10 we booked in the Newcastle venue. Lovely restaurant on two floors, very professional staff and the food was fantastic as usual for 9 of us, one guy ordered steak and it was not that good, we didn't complain at the time as the rest was outsainding, maybe an off night with the steak. Never the cheapest, however you pay for what you get, quality !! We would be straight back next time we are in town, thank you.

Me and my party of 6, we were all very happy with our meals and will be looking to return. Great service, great authentic food. Only comment was the door opened numerous times through our meal which let in a very cold draft.

We arrived and were quickly seated. The restaurant is over 2 levels although neither room was exceptionally big. Drinks and food order was taken. Service in between courses was a little slow and sometimes we felt like we were missed out. An example being everyone got prawn crackers...we didn't. Food itself was ok. Had a platter to start with which was tasty. Mains were generous...perhaps not as flavoursome as would have liked. Just hot in spice! Lovely location and staff were friendly. Not sure I'd go back again but glad I've been.

Ordered the 'banquet' for 4. Absolutely superb food, very attentive and obliging service. We did find the drinks somewhat on the expensive side but that didn't detract from a very enjoyable evening, we shall return.

Lovely restaurant in great location. Very friendly staff as well. Menu was good with a lot of choice. Starters were gud spicy fish cakes (could have been spicier) & tom yum soup. Mains were excellent, lots of taste, lots of flavour & really good value for money. We would return.

I had booked the table on line, asking for a quiet table upstairs. Everything turned out perfect. We ordered a set meal for three, so that we could try a selection of different dishes. Highly recommended, great food and well presented. The very attentive staff helped to make this a memorable evening. Well done "Old Siam" George Taylor

We have been here many times over the years. It is still good, but not as good as we remember it. I think the term "stir fry" is a bit misleading because a lot of the stir fry dishes are basically meat (or fish) but very little by way of vegetables, just some cucumber and decorative carrot. I think they need to improve this. The flavours are good.

Went with my partner for our Anniversary as was visiting from Manchester. I tried to order off specials menu, I pointed at the seafood item I wanted to waitress, was then corrected on my pronunciation and had the dish explained to me. Then when a chicken dish I didn't want or ordered came to table I was told it was my fault the order was incorrect due to my pronunciation. The fact I actually pointed at the item I wanted seemed to be totally forgot and as result i felt slightly humiliated and belittled. They did offer to replace my dish but no such offer was made in relation to my partners meaning their dish would have been stone cold by the time my replacement was brought to the table. Needless to say I thought our Anniversary dinner was ruined not to mention rushed as the whole time frame from being seated to vacating was 50 minutes. We will never return
