Authentic thai cooking in Brighton

“The pork pad Thai was 10/10. Also had the prawn on toast which I had never had before. It was good. The spring rolls were pretty standard. Hard to get them wrong. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant is small with bar seating inside and a couple of tables outside but cozy and warm”

“Went with my family (wife and three children aged 10, 14 & 16) for dinner. We ordered a couple of starters and prawn crackers between us, followed by 4 main courses and three portions of rice (two of my kids don't each much rice) and some soft drinks. Bill came to £90 including tip / optional service charge. The food was all very tasty, service was prompt and friendly; our water jug was refilled without us asking, and they were very accommodating about changing a starter (spring rolls) that's usually in 4 pieces into 5 pieces so we could each have one. Would definitely go again, but find somewhere else to park. We looked at the dessert menu but decided to drive to the seafront and buy ice creams instead.”

“We came here for a pre-theatre dinner on a Friday night. It was 5.30pm so quiet when we came in, but it quickly filled up so possibly a good idea to book. The service was superb and the food came extremely quickly and was delicious. The vegetables were all fresh and tasty and everything was cooked to perfection. As we still had plenty of time we ordered dessert, which was also delicious. I love Thai food and this was amongst the best I have had. I would thoroughly recommend it.”

“Me and my partner are now aiming to become regulars after 2 visits here! The food is consistently superb and fresh. The owner, 'Chandra', is so lovely on our first visit that he sat us down and spoke us through his menu. This is an amazing place for regular diners but must go place for veggie and vegans- as Chandra is one himself. My Italian partner told me she hasn't had tofu this good before! We also love their coffee, one of the best blends in brighton (they get and roast their single blend Indonesian beans themselves!)- they even bring over fresh coconut milk! Our favourite drinks, besides the coffee, were the sex in the jungle cocktail and tropical jungle juice smoothie. We're also big fans of the green curry (with duck) and panaeng curry (with the lovely tofu) The ONLY thing that could make the experience even better is softer light. It always being bright takes away from the atmosphere, but it's only a minor thing”

“Thai Crystal was a total lifesaver with the kitchen open until 10pm when many other establishments had already closed kitchens at 9pm. I don’t mean to imply that it’s a last choice on the main restaurant street of Haywards Heath—it’s totally a first choice if you’re in the mood for filling Thai dishes. We loved our food. The staff was so friendly. The kitchen was quick for the amount of food we ordered. The prices are very reasonable (granted you aren’t in the middle of London). The menu is clearly marked with spicy, vegetarian, etc notations. The ambiance is nice with white tablecloths and napkins in addition to a TV looping calming landscape scenery. Thai Crystal has at least 2 other locations around London.”

“I had a birthday dinner here and everything was amazing!! Food was authentic and the hospitality was perfect”

“Best noodles i ate in Brighton!!! Loved the people there and best service. Large quantities of boxes. I couldn’t finish eating it.”

“Absolutely the best Thai restaurant in Brighton! The staff ( MR. SEONG) are incredibly friendly and accommodating, making you feel right at home. The ambience is warm, inviting, and beautifully done — perfect for any occasion. The food is exceptional, full of authentic flavours and beautifully presented. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Highly recommended!”

“Best Thai food we've had outside of Thailand. All the dishes we had were delicious and really fresh. Can't recommend Baan Thai 2 enough. The service from the young counter staff was also excellent. Thanks for a great meal.”

“Sabai Thai has become my favourite restaurant and I always try to visit when in Brighton. Everything about the place is exceptional; the food, the welcome, the ambience.... everything. On this occasion I visited with my partner to celebrate her birthday. Gina and her team ensured she was given a birthday meal to remember from the complimentary prosecco to begin through to the deep fried ice cream (complete with birthday candle) to end. I cannot recommend Sabai thai highly enough. I would go as far to say that if you visit Brighton and don't drop in you are missing out.”

“Always such lovely service and the quality of food for such a cheap price always makes kudos our choice for dinner and living so close means we end up here often - thank you it’s always so delicious”

“Been here a couple of times and the food is always fab. They have redecorated since we were last here and it looks great. Service is good and staff really nice and chatty. Such good value on the set menus. We stay in the hotel across from it each year and so ideal as we prefer Asian to pub food. Will be back next year. Only downside on this visit was that it closed at 7pm which meant eating earlier than we normally would. I guess out of season times.”

“Delicious & Authentic Goan Food, best in Brighton & Hove, Enjoyed the Beef Roast, Pork Vindaloo & Chicken Xacutti along with Arroz. Will savour more dishes next time. Reasonable priced and with the promotional discount was a steal.”

“Wau Asian Kitchen provided us with a vegetarian/vegan gluten free buffett for 30 people. The food was fresh, colourful and delicious, enjoyed by everyone. We would highly recommend - thank you Wau Asian Kitchen”

“This is by far the best and most authentic Thai food I have experienced in the UK! My wife is half Thai and has lived there and even she was amazed at some of the dishes available here that we haven't found anywhere else except Thailand itself. Its a BYOB, which we didn't mind at all. There is a corkage fee but it wasn't over the top by any means. The staff were lovely and were very quick to accommodate anything we asked for, including things like providing small bowls so we could share a larger soup like a starter and other random requests. If you are a fan of Asian food or especially Thai food and can get over to this restaurant I cannot recommend it enough! The venue is small, however, so it's best to book in advance as there's no guarantee you could get a table otherwise.”

“I go to Wingwah for local Asian products and they are very reasonably priced. I also aim to be there for Saturdays as they give out fresh China town bakery goods from London every other Saturday!”

“Amazing food, service on point but lacking footfall so we sat alone to eat 90% of the time”

“Such a peaceful restaurant; great staff, delicious food and their lunch menu is amazing. I've been visiting the Giggling Squid for a few years now, and the quality of the food and service is 5* every time. Never fails to please :)”

“First time customer. Chow mien was lovely the Chinese chicken curry was very meaty and had a nice kick. We had meat spring rolls egg rice and chicken balls. Was lovely the delivery came quicker than the app said and driver was super friendly we look forward to having a cheeky Chinese again soon.”
