[Food] Best Chinese Takeaway in Brighton area?

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Very slight change of subject as it’s a sit down - but has anyone given Ivy Asia a go yet?
Looks ridiculously expensive.

Haven’t been to the Brighton Ivy Asia, but regularly go to the one in Guildford. I’m guessing the menu is the same. Prices probably on a par with a really good Chinese restaurant, but the food is superb and the ambience is great

. You get what you pay for.

On Mrs Huts to do list which is being repeated ignored as those Ivy places are vastly expensive for not a lot bar pretentiousness

Got refused entry to the Ivy once so its on my boycott list.

The staff that day must’ve been Stevie Wonder fans.

I’m a fan of thai and Vietnamese more these days, far healthier and more nutritious. Most in typical Chinese is sugary.

Good shout. Thai food is lovely. Used to go to Red Snapper on the dials. Not sure if it’s still there but was very good.

I’ve had one Vietnamese meal and loved it but there’s not a restaurant near me.

Singapore kitchen gets another vote from me. Would also recommend shanghai garden is george st kemptown for takeaway. The salt and chilli tofu is wonderful as is the singapore rice

Some better news of this a friend of hers at work went there, two adults and 2 teenagers (not allowed alcohol) and bill was £400 suffice to say she appears to have gone off the idea, result !

Annoyingly, one of my neighbours is Vietnamese and the aromas coming from their kitchen are mouth watering!

I reciprocate by boiling root vegetables to disintegration for a smell of our cuisine.

Where as SARS is central China?

VARS is Kevin Friend's favourite.

Wok 4 you has closed permanently? !! what! that's the one we use....

Reopened this week under the name of "Wau Asian Kitchen". Allegedly under new management but the menu is incredibly similar and strangely they knew my address from my phone number as before ! Anyway, portions are much smaller, prices much higher and the quality terrible. Ordered chow mein - clearly packet noodles and very badly cooked ( taking them back this evening for a refund ). Other dishes not the same and poorly cooked and the Kung Po Chicken tasted of vinegar. Complete disappointment. Won't be trying them again. Instead I will be using this book again - Amazon product ASIN 1787133672 - to cook 'takeaway' at home. Mrs and Miss WS couldn't believe I hadn't snuck out and brought the food from a takeaway !
