Quick info
About Thai Spice Restaurant
Thai Spice Restaurant is a Thai restaurant in Brighton, found on a lane at 13 Boyce's St. The room is decorated like an old tavern or British pub, with Thai items placed among the pub-style fittings, so a night out here combines two traditions under one roof. The menu includes chicken curry and penang curry, which come with steamed rice, and Tom Yum soup. A lunch menu with lunch specials runs separately from the evening offering, and set menus are also available. The restaurant takes walk-ins.
Good to know
“Intimate venue turning out classic Thai dishes, plus lunchtime offers and set menus.”

Customer Review Summary
Curry is the dish reviewers return to most, with the chicken curry, the penang and a "really great curry" all singled out, alongside steamed rice and broccoli. Close behind is the Tom Yum soup, praised as authentic, though one reviewer wished it were spicier. Others name the seafood soup as fresh and spicy enough, the papaya salad as the best they have had in the UK, and the Thai Spice Mixed Platter of spring rolls, prawn toast and tempura as a good option for a light meal. One reviewer recommends ordering dessert, calling it a perfect ending. Several describe the food as authentic and mention coming back on every visit to Brighton, often for the lunch menu and a lunch special described as very reasonable. The staff are called lovely and helpful, and one reviewer notes the owner kindly suggested seeing the portion sizes first before ordering more dishes. The quirky decor resembling an old tavern or British pub gets a mention, and one diner says the place is tucked away in a lane.

“I didn't fancy a full meal, so was contemplating a couple of starters and some jasmine tea. I spotted the perfect option for me - "Thai Spice Mixed Plater" which consists of a couple of spring rolls, two pieces prawn toast, one prawn tempura, and a selection of vegetable tempura. Delicious.”
