Giggling Squid - Hove - (Near East Sussex, South East)

5 /5 Caroline Wiggs: The food was absolutely superb and the staff friendly and polite. Unfortunately, tables were very close together and it was difficult to hold a conversation because of the volume of noise originating from nearby tables.

5 /5 ball9 carrot: February 21st 12:00. The moment restaurant opened, many customers poured in. The restaurant is three stories tall and can accommodate many customers. The extensive menu made it difficult to decide what to order. I ordered a mild shrimp curry, pad Thai, spring rolls, and stir-fried shrimp with ginger. Each dish had a distinctive flavor and clearly accentuated by the authentic spices. The herbs, such as coriander, lemongrass, and kaffir lime were perfectly blended. While Thai food tends to have a fairly unique flavor and tastes vary. But I think here restaurants is seasoned to appeal to everyone. The most delicious dish was the meat in the pad Thai. It was very tender and flavor had been simmered in the meat itself. The female and male waiters were kind enough to ask "Hows the food? Is there a problem?" which left a lasting impression.

3 /5 Anthony Turpitt: We did enjoy our experience as service and environment was spot on. The taste of the food was amazing however we found a lot of the veg in the curries to be undercooked and very unpleasant to eat , especially the Chinese peas which was like eating a bullet. We removed most of the veg, which was a shame . We also found a lot of the starter cold. Especially the pork. We did bring this to the attention of the server , but we wasn’t offered any gesture of good will, we did get an apology though.

4 /5 Puzzled Cat: I visited this venue with a group. The venue was lovely and the food was fantastic. The staff were polite and friendly. The service was somewhat on the slow side. It took half an hour after arriving for drinks orders to be taken, then 15 minutes before the drinks arrived. We were only asked if we wanted dessert/coffee 2½ hours after arriving. The restaurant was clearly very busy and it is possible they were short-staffed. Despite this, the entire group enjoyed the evening and intended to tip above the service charge that was automatically added to the bill. However, instead of a staff member helping each member of our group work what they owed, we were left to add up our own bill which was subject to errors, and the staff ended up with a much smaller tip than the group intended.
