The best restaurants in Regency Brighton and Hove South East

Georgia, our server, went above and beyond to give us an amazing time. Riddle and Finn, take note, she is an asset to your restaurant. Thank you so much for excellent service and food. See you soon.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff and manager were incredibly friendly. I will definitely go back for sure!

April 2024 Update: Sadly it seems Ho Chaik has closed down :( Not sure why - place seems intact. They even updated their menu not too long ago! But all of a sudden, lights off and a notice on the door. Not sure if the owner will see this, but thank you for all the great service, food, great value dishes and family feel! You will be missed! Hope Ho Chaik can come back some day. Good luck with whatever the future holds! -------------------------------- Original Review 2023: 5 stars all round! We recently moved to Brighton and Ho Chiak is definitely one of the best Brighton Asian food restaurants in the area. Taste, portion sizes, value and service - perfect! Was looking for a place to dine with family and stumbled on the restaurant - a selection of great Asian dishes, traditional, more rarer items and dim sum. Super fresh! The best part is that the mains come with rice included; a rarity in any restaurant We've dined in about 4/5 times now, and had a few takeaways. Both have been excellent - really friendly, polite and chatty staff. The owner is really hospitable and welcoming; it's got a warm, family feel! Honesly don't understand these reviews Recommend: The curry. So good! The porridge (congee) is great too; massive portions and great for the colder weather. Top up your meal with steamed egg buns. HEAVENLY. I don't think they're on Ubereats/Deliveroo etc - so it's one you'd need to pop by for; but well worth it! Location wise - a great spot! Near the seafront and also the main shopping hub of Western road; plus close to bars/desert places too. Totally recommended, easy 5/5 stars and will be back for more!

Lovely restaurant, the food was delicious. Ordered so much as we wanted to try everything. Trying to organise going back with friends so we can try the rest of the menu as it was so tasty. The staff were very polite and happy. I was surprised it has been in Brighton for 5 years and I had never heard of it so they should definitely advertise more! Would highly recommend!

Super crispy and big fish and chips. Need to wait a bit but totally worth it.

We were stood outside waiting for 30mins when there were clearly many tables available. Was told they’re short staffed but at least sit your customers down and get the drinks order. Poor management. In the end we walked away as did everyone else.

It was OK. The food was pretty good, however the service was extremely slow. There was only one waitress across the entire restaurant and she did amazing and told you as you came in that she’s by herself. However, it took about 30-40 minutes for our food to be made. The pancakes are nice and fluffy. If you get the mixed berries make sure to remember they are frozen berries which are just let out to defrost. The others who were with me got The Hash and Isla’s breakfast from what I can remember, and both said there was too many potatoes as well as they tasted like they’d come from a freezer. The staff are quite friendly and two other staff members came to help out. Overall, the restaurant has a beautiful layout and food is nice, I just wish there was better service as it turned people away from this beautiful restaurant.

Really tasty vegan kebabs and great service!

Could be much better in a great location 😉

We were served a delicious breakfast, the waiting staff are so attentive. The space is beautifully designed, it's an absolute must when in Brighton

Foodilic is a wonderful health haven amongst the fast food outlets on western road. Their freshly made salads, mousaka, lasagna and succulent chicken legs (halal) are the best and never fail to delight. Eggs Florentine at brunch time is also a favourite of mine. A small independent restaurant on the high street with a fresh and healthy outlook. Even my picky autistic son eats here and that’s saying something!

Great cocktails and service. Some great recommendations from the bartender. Went during happy hour too, and there's different ones across the different Twisted Bars

The food was delicious, we ordered Soltani and lamb shish and plate of grills, all were good. Service was very good. The olive was excellent

Incredible Sunday Roast. Congratulations. We will repeat
