Anyone recommend a decent Thai Restaurant in central Brighton

Not Thai but Japanese - Pompoko. Best restaurant in all of Brighton. Yes, I said it.

Brillo food
Brillo prices
Brillo service

I love that place, its so cheap and you can bring your own booze too.

Mai Ped Ped Ped. Market Street.

Would be my choice. Not a posh place, but great food.

The Giggling Squid - Church Road, Hove.

This place has only been open 6 months or so and has already built a good reputation. Good food at good prices in a cosy space. It is always banged out, every day both lunch and dinner. I like it and you might even get to see Glenn Murray in there.

A bit of inside info from a friend of a friend - the original chefs left this place a while ago and they have had loads of temp people in the meantime. The owners also own Mai Ped and had to shut it temporarily to keep Squid going. The problem I am told is nasty management (allegedly!!) and a menu that is really hard to cook when the place is busy! Customers complain of slow service and cold food BUT when it arrives on time and is hot it is very good. I would only recommend on a quiet day.

In Hove Thai Connection is better but more traditional. In Brighton you will be fine with Mai Ped (differenet menu to the Squid), Sukhothai, or Sopar. Avoid Sawadee.
