Tonight we went to Sawadee with high expectations but the meal fell well -short The Tom Yum soup lacked any flavour of fresh lime juice, galangal or lemon grass which are just some of the basic ingredients. The soup was bland and before I had even finished it, the plates arrived for the main course. The Massaman Curry arrived but lacked flavour, so no cinnamon, chopped cilanto or lime. This was again, bland. The fragrant jasmine rice lacked fragrant jasmine and we suspected it was just overcooked, lumpy plain rice. I could not eat it. On complaining to the waiter, he just grinned and walked away. The waiter looked most unprofessional wearing faded, ripped jeans and really does need to look t...
This restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was bland and uninspired, lacking in authentic flavors. The chicken with chili and cashew tasted like salt with no actual chili or herb taste. The sweet and sour dish tasted like someone had just thrown random ingredients into a tin of tomato juice. Each dish had a bland taste with an overpowering tin and tomato flavor. The chicken was also tough. Overall, a very poor and disappointing experience. I will be going back to the Giggling Squid, which I would give full marks in comparison.
Popped in there en route back to my hotel and was pleasantly surprised. I was by myself so had just myself to please. Started off with the salt and peppered squid which I enjoyed followed by a stir fry beef dish and rice which was again quite good. Had a couple of glasses of red wine as well which added to the meal but normally I would have had beer but the choice was not great. The staff were friendly and attentive which helped to make it a pleasant ‘solo’ meal.
Popped in for a quick bite going again tomorrow! I had a beef stir fry (no 2 on the menu) and some sticky rice. The beef was chewy but so enhanced by the fresh ginger, spring onion and coriander it was a wow. Now nowhere in Kemptown is cheap but this was one of the best I’ve had for the price Service was prompt, friendly and all it should be. Quite busy so popular but not over subscribed. Did I say I was going again tomorrow?

Recommended by Blanch House Hotel 's room guide and it didn 't disappoint. We were warmly greeted and quickly seated and served. The food was authentic, plentiful and delicious. My daughter even said This is better than the food I had in Thailand . We loved it. The set meals made it easy for all of us to try a variety of dishes. Would return on our next trip to Brighton for sure.
The place was like an oasis to enter as a family coming from a busy street. Staff were so nice and polite. But the food was not great. The spring rolls were the best among the dishes we tried. But none of the dishes were spicy, so the kids could eat everything.
We called in here on a whim and we were both glad we did. The food we had was lovely we were pleasantly surprised when we got the bill. Definitely our cheapest meal while staying in Brighton. Definitely worth a visit
Lovely atmosphere, great service ,good price, and delicious food . I look forward to returning in the future . Keep up the great work
