Best Chinese & Thai Restaurants in Hexham

Hexham's Asian dining scene is small but high quality.

Golden Dragon

Widely regarded as the best Chinese restaurant in Hexham, Golden Dragon at 2-3 Newmans Way (NE46 1BB) is a multi-award-winning sit-down restaurant. The lunchtime menu is particularly popular — well-presented, generous, and keenly priced. Over a thousand reviews across platforms with consistently high ratings.

New Golden Rice Takeaway

For a quick collection, New Golden Rice on Priestpopple is a long-standing neighbourhood favourite covering all the Chinese takeaway classics. Vegetarian-friendly. Cash only, but fast and consistent.

The Thai House

Hexham's only dedicated Thai restaurant at 82 Priestpopple, connected to the Coach and Horses pub. Fresh, aromatic, and authentically prepared. Open evenings only (from 5:30pm Monday-Saturday). Books up quickly at weekends — reservations strongly recommended. Takeaway also available.

Tips

Golden Dragon is best for a proper sit-down occasion. New Golden Rice is the go-to for a weeknight takeaway. The Thai House suits those wanting something a little different — book ahead.
