Stumble down a hidden side street and lose yourself within the walls of Big Boy Bangkok – the personality-packed, street-style Thai restaurant that’s taking over the former Newstead Social.
Serving up sizzling Thai favourites, Big Boy Bangkok brings the playful design and electric energy of Thailand’s golden era to the buzzing blocks of Newstead.

The irreverent name is inspired by Bangkok’s street culture, where food vendors will often cheekily call out “Hey Big Boy!” with wit and warmth to lure customers to their food stalls.
Surround yourself with vintage textures, cheeky typography, and nostalgic Southeast Asian graphics embodying the golden atmosphere of Thailand in the 50s to 70s.

Where inventive flavours run wild and free, Big Boy Bangkok’s menu really packs a punch. Find a host of mouth-watering dishes like Miang Kham scallop betel leaves with coconut, shallot, and chilli, crispy Tod Mun Pla fish cakes with sweet chilli and lime, and rich Kai Satay spice-marinated chicken with Big Boy’s signature satay sauce.
And if you’re gathering the group chat for a night on the town with the girls? Big Boy Bangkok offers dishes destined for sharing – think Pla Sam Rod, a whole fish served with a three-flavour sauce, Big Boy Khoa Pad, fried rice with Moreton Bay bug and spanner crab, and a flavourful Kaeng Massaman slow-cooked beef Massaman curry.

That eccentric personality continues to the drinks menu. Head to the bar for a Thai Me Up of tequila, agave, lemon, and Thai basil or maybe a Spicy Kahoey of mango chilli gin, yuzu, and lemongrass. Equal parts nostalgic and innovative, Big Boy Bangkok is here and ready to welcome hungry travellers and lively wanderers with a vibrant spirit.
Bold flavours, long pours, and big personality – welcome to Big Boy Bangkok. Book your table here.
