I recently visited the Old Siam on a night out with some work colleagues and I have to say I was really impressed. I had the fish cakes for starters which came with an amazing dipping sauce and pinched one of my friend's spring rolls which were lovely and crispy. For main course I had a beef, chilli and cashew...

Myself and my husband had dinner here on a sunday evening and it was one of the nicest Thai meals I have had outside of Thailand. It really was spot on. We opted for the set meal for 2 option B and everything on the table was amazing. If your looking for amazing Thai food in the north east this... More

Me my partner and sister visited this restaurant on Friday evening for the second time. This restaurant is well worth a visit. The food, services and valued is excellent. We were seated upstairs on this occasion and had to pass the kitchen which is open for everyone to see. I have to say it looks immaculate. I would recommend the... More

I had been here before with some friends and enjoyed it so returned with Dad and Husband so they could try it out. We all really enjoyed our food which was delicately balanced as all good Thai food should be. I had grilled prawns with spicy dipping sauce, the boys had steamed mussels and Tom Khar soup (which was fabulous).... More

We booked an upstairs window table here for our anniversary meal. Unfortunately, we were placed on a table separated from the next one only a wooden screen. It felt very claustrophobic so when another table became free we asked if we could move . This was much better and we were able to enjoy the food without hearing every breath... More

Ate there one evening and have to say I wasn't impressed. The main tasted like a supermarket dish and the sticky rice was one solid glutinous lump ! When I complained the staff just shrugged their shoulders and walked away. They begrudgingly took the rice off the bill & muttered under their breath when I refused to leave a tip!... More

On the out side this eaterie seems very small... I was just downstairs but people seemed to stream in and out all the time. We wandered in late at night but we still received first class service from the staff and top notch food. I can't give five stars for the food because I've experienced divine Thai food in the...

We dined here early last Friday evening and had a really nice vegetarian meal. The service was excellent and the waiting staff very attentive. To dine later I would recommend booking as they were getting busy as we left.

My first time writing on trip advisor. I simply had to share my terrible experience at the old siam with other old and new custumers. I have been to the place before and I enjoyed it. This time I expected a similar experience, but even though the food was alright, service was rude and very unpleasant. Could hav been a... More
