Sawadee Thai Restaurant

we had an excellent dinner last week at sawadee and enjoyed the overall atmosphere. we ordered mixed starters and were beautifully cooked and served. spring rolls fish cakes and satay chicken. the red curry with chicken was spot on. Chicken was tender and fresh with planty spices and thai herbs. our pad thai was so good full of quality ingredience just wished the portion was a bit more bigger! overall very decent food and good ambience. definately going back

We love this restaurant and have used it many times over approx 5 years or so. The food is really tasty and service has always been brilliant. I also think the prices are very reasonable. Always a good idea to book, particularly at the weekend as this is a small restaurant.

My boyfriend and I came here for a special occasion. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. While the restaurant itself is nicely set up and decorated and the staff are smart, polite and professional, the food left much to be desired. Our starters were average at best and tasteless at worst. I had to send back my main dish of steamed seabass due to major overcooking. It was tough, chewy and very bland. After waiting 20 minutes for a different main dish, by which time my boyfriend had already finished his, I was very disappointed with a chicken pad tai. Average and bland yet again, which is unacceptable for the price ranges in this restaurant.

We came across this restaurant when walking through Kemp Town on a visit to Brighton. The weather was foul, but the restaurant was warm and inviting. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The choice on the menu was varied and our starters and main courses were flavoursome and served quickly, so no waiting around. However, we did not feel rushed and even though we were the last clients in the restaurant, we were not hurried out.

I eat Thai food quite regularly in London and was impressed with the quality of the dishes and the friendliness of the staff.

I would return to this restaurant again and will certainly recommend it to friends who live in and visit Brighton.

Sawadee thai, absolutely one of the best in brighton! Splendid and superb meal you will ever try here. Had one of the specialities that is the seabass fish wrapped in banana leaves, tom yum seafood and also the king prawns panang...really full of flavours and taste.Simply my top recommendations for a spicy seafood lover! Not only the food was brilliant, the ambience of the restaurant was stylish and cozy .The warmth and friendly gestures from the attentive staffs makes you even want to go back there again.Thoroughly enjoyed the evening there with my friends.Thumbs-up!

Fantastic Thai food. Have never had a bad dinner in this place. I always take my family here when they come to Brighton as I know the staff will give their best to make you feel welcome.

They will recommend dishes if you are not sure what to have, and are genuinely interested in making their customers happy. My top recommendation is a tapas starter followed by duck red curry with jasmine rice and a side order of mixed vegetables!

I have eaten here on many occasions and have always received great service and lovely food (even accommodating us coming in late or needing to rush off early).

I always recommend this place to friends looking for Thai food in Brighton.

My wife and I went here very recently and had an absolute shocker of a meal with terrible service. We had to ask for menus, our starters arrived before our drinks (and even our plates!). The food was not great to say the least. The tempura had the consistency of chip shop batter (heavy and very greasy) and the mains were greasy and not a patch on a Thai meal we had eaten in Manchester the previous week. Sorry guys, won't be going back.

We have visited this restaurant with our parents and couldn't fault the service or the food. My other is disabled and when we found it difficult to park the Manager told us we should phone and let him know and he would park his car in a space and reserve it for us!

We preferred the starters and picked several. The coconut prawns were lovely and the cashew nuts with the seaweed was a nice touch rather than it being drowned in salt which is what we have received in other chinese/thai restaurants. The mussels were excellent and the soup that they came in was divine and we had to drink it!

We had a duck dish for main and it was excellent and rich with lots of sauce. We also had a sweet and sour chicken dish which was lovely. The Thai Green curry was very hot and spicy. We also had some friend special rice with beef and there were large chunks of beef in it.

The wine was very good and not overly expensive and very quaffable.

A thorough good night and we will definitely be going back again!
