We dropped in here after we made a booking with VIP pizza across the road and couldn't even get a table because they were fully packed out. Gave up and came here last minute. Really lovely staff who are accommodating and go beyond to make you feel welcome. The food was tasty and filling, although definitely on the steeper end of expensive. We expected a few of the portion sizes to be bigger for the price, especially the rice and the chicken. Vegetables in the drunken noodles could do with being sliced a little better. Lots of very chunky and crunchy bits of cabbage. Besides that, everything truly tasted incredible and it's well worth a visit.
Genuinely the main negative was the music. So unnecessarily loud and booming. I don't understand this need, specifically in restaurants and cafes, to play club music loud enough that you have to shout to hear each other across the table. Frustrating when you just want to have a nice meal out.
We discovered Lucky Khao accidentally whilst going for brunch at Red Roaster and decided to give it a go the same day. The happiest accident ever! Food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent (although, a few too many check backs!) and we were so full we had to skip dessert. Every dish was wonderfully different, well seasoned and exceptionally tasty.
Noted lots of comments in other reviews about Food being too salty and too spicy and will argue this to say that the menu does say if you’d like less spice to just ask, as for the salt - this is subjective and as a chef I thought the salt level was spot on.
We will definitely be back when next in Brighton! Thank you!
I had a lovely time at Lucky Khao. I had booked a table for 2 but then my partner was ill so in good old romantic Gassion I went on my own. The food was amazing and so tasty. I had the spring rolls, Khao Soi (coconut chicken curry to me) and chicken larb. I left so full and satisfied. I’ve added some photos to show but didn’t take many as didn’t want to look weird sitting at the table. All the staff I came across were friendly and so lovely. Izzy. B served me and she was so friendly and approachable and guided me on the dishes. (I think that’s who served me as her name was on the receipt so am hoping I’m right. Thank you so much Lucky Khao for a great evening. My other half wasn’t so happy she missed out!!
Excellent addition to the restaurant scene in Brighton. The food was delicious! I’m vegetarian so I was presented with many delicious options. The atmosphere is great and the staff were so accommodating and welcoming. We really enjoyed our meal and cannot wait to be back.
This place has a nice and relaxed atmosphere. Service was lovely and efficient.
We ordered few dishes and they came fairly quickly. The chicken lark was my favourite dish and I also really liked the sauce which came with the aubergine. The curry wasn’t really to my taste. Overall all dishes are flavourful however in my opinion they are all too salty. It either comes from soy sauce or maybe fish sauce but for sure it’s a bit too salty overall.
Presentation was nice and you can watch the chefs in the open kitchen doing their work.
We tried few non alcoholic cocktails and the passion fruit fizz is highly recommended.
Coffee is good too.
They also have a secret back garden for warm days like today (40.3 C in U.K.)
There is also a sink at the entrance where you can wash your hands which is a nice touch.
Great service and decent prices for the amazing food you’re getting! I’ve been three times now, but please add mango sticky rice to the menu!
I dined here the other day and it was amazing. The food was the tastiest I’ve had in a while and very reasonably priced. Really good atmosphere and very friendly staff. Special shout-out to Bella our server, the service was brilliant. Also the beer tower is a must!
Tried the OctoberFeast menu with the cocktail flight and have to say that we were not disappointed. Even though the portion sizes were relatively small, me and my partner both were quite full at the end of the dinner. I have to say I was super eager to try this place just for their infamous corn ribs and once I tried them I believe that everyone should. They were amazing. The chicken larb was also one of our favorites. The other dishes that we tried were mackerel ceviche, Chang mai hot dog, goat and sweet yellow curry, mango sticky rice and the cheesecake. All was very delicious. The cocktails were quite small but very delicious. We especially liked the one with the margarita with the chili. Definitely recommend trying!!
We had dinner here last night. The food was absolutely amazing. The Burmese Curry of Smoked Organic Pork was our stand out dish, never had anything like it. The Sateh Stir Fry Aubergine and Thai Sausage were also great.
Save room for the Boa bun donuts 😋
The cocktails were great. I recommend a pear grylls (cant beat a good pun)
All the staff were really helpful and friendly.
Went in for a cheeky mid-week pre cinema visit. First time and was really impressed, food was excellent loved all the dishes - sea bass was cooked perfectly and just flaked off the bone. The chicken wings were so juicy and full of flavour. Service was very friendly and the kitchen even brought us over a beef dish as a freebie which was melt in the mouth. Will deffo visit again. Excellent value as well.
