Went here for a lovely meal because my girlfriend had never tried Thai food. Al I can say is wow. Lovely settings, lovely service and fantastic food. If I lived closer I would be back!

We dropped in here for dinner had one of the set meals for two with a bottle of wine came to just under £50 however courses were very average and small portions especially the prawn crackers even smaller then London thai restaurants which was a surprise, Probably will not return.

For Starters there are four grilled, marinated chicken skewers served with home made satay sauce, a selection of fresh vegetables cut into large pieces and deep fried in tempura batter, with a dipping sauce. For the Main Course there is sliced chicken breast cooked in our green curry... More

B/H Monday evening we decided to stop in for a quick meal, this was our second visit so I won't go on too much. Service was excellent and attentive enough but the food was delicious, well presented & we both enjoyed what we ordered very much. The visit gave the impression that whatever we would have ordered would have been... More

I live in Kent and am seriously contemplating going back to Brighton just for a thai curry...or maybe two! If you have the chance to go then... More

Four of us ate here and shared two different set menus. The food was all really good, especially the Green Curry. We did noit bother with desserts as there was plenty of food. The ginger ice cream sounded quite tempting though. Two bottles of a good NZ sauvignon blanc nicely complimented the flavours, and the whole lot came in at... More

After reading very good reviews about the Sawadee, I was a bit disappointed with the food. I found what we had, somewhat bland and I would say it was fairly mediocre. The prawn crackers were no better than you would get out of a bag - we were assuming they would be brought first to nibble with our drink, but... More

Me and my partner Ben went to this place for dinner when we visited Brighton last easter weekend. We just loved it! Very clean and very good, authentic Thai food for a reasonable price. Two thumbs up for this place!!

A wonderful Thai restaurant serving delicious freshly prepared meals. The green chicken curry and chicken stir fry in coconut milk are two dishes which can be highly recommended. The staff are very pleasant, and everything is made to order. Prices are very reasonable for the good quality and good portion sizes.
