"I booked a table online for 7 people in the evening after a performance at the theatre (5 mins walk to the Lyric theatre). When booking online if the time you’d like isn’t an option to select just put it in the special request box. When we arrived we waited a few minutes to be seated and our waitress took our orders within about 8/9 minutes. They have a QR code on the table that you scan to view the menu and pay. The restaurant did have paper(physical menus) which helped so much just ask your waiter. Food was so tasty and seasoned very well. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal I personally recommend the Prawn Laksa, a fair amount of large prawns given too I’m rather knowledgeable about laksa anyway and this was rather authentic. The chicken dumplings are absolutely scrumptious !! The beef rendang was a little bit dry but tasty albeit. I had the chicken thai green curry as a main and I expected the sauce to be a tad thicker as I’m used to that. This was almost like a broth. Still tasty and lots of veg. Everyone’s mains were rather large/generous portions so much so that we asked for a few takeaway containers. The only reason I haven’t rated this 5 ’s is because of the cocktail I had which was a ‘Rangoon Zombie’ it’s supposed to be a strong cocktail but honestly it tasted like very sweet fruit juice, little to no alcohol at all I didn’t even finish it because it was so sickly sweet. Happy hour is also all day,everyday. It’s a very casual restaurant and quite relaxed don’t need to dress up at all and the seating is quite close, we had a bench and the bench beside almost looked as if we were all together. Overall 4 4.5 . I would visit again. Pictured: prawn laksa, Thai green curry and my cocktail £36pp service charge is optional"

"**** experience here. If you have the same, make sure you get a refund in store. I was contacted below by 5 guys who asked me to fill a form in to address the issue. They never responded. Review: One star. Felt like having some fries at the weekend, a quick pitstop in Five Guys Brighton. £3.45 but I had good memories of their fries until I ate some at this branch. They were overdone, some burned. I complained and they gave me another portion, but they were similar if not worse. The staff insisted they were not burnt, and one said it had something to do with ‘different type of potato’ they started using. All the fries looked like this coming out the fryer, so before you order, go and look at what’s coming out. Five Guys: (re)train your staff about cooking temperature and/or time? The fries here were bad. You get a star for still serving the free peanuts. I thought to ask for my money back but the dude seemed really stressed and I didn’t feel like having an argument on my weekend about some bad chips. ‘They’re NOT burned mate.’ If you say so. Can you tell from the photos which portion of fries was the one they accepted was burned and then replaced, and which was the replacement portion they insisted was not burned? Update: it's been almost a year, I contacted the company as requested but never received a response, and still avoiding 5 Guys in Brighton! Save yourself the disappointment and spend your money somewhere that serves decent chips."
