We love this restaurant. Usually visit Beaconsfield branch but we visited Brighton and couldn’t turn down the offer of a giggling squid for dinner. Food is always fresh and presented in a unique way. Staff are always lovely. The Brighton branch is small so would recommend booking on a busy evening. Salt and pepper squid is just the best!

Fantastic restaurant set over several floors, with small cosy rooms off the steep staircase. Large choice at lunchtime from either the lunch or all day menu. The food was all really tasty, would recommended everything we had! That includes Thai red beef curry, Thai green chicken curry, Giggling wings, fried squid and lunchtime 'tapas'tasters... The staff were all very friendly - the service was great. We were hugely impressed with how they handled a sesame allergy one of our party had. From before we booked, when we asked questions about dishes that would be suitable, to on the day itself when they double checked what we ordered. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Excellent service and Excellent food. I used to work around the corner from Giggling Squid, yet I had never tried the food until I went out for a friend's birthday last night. I wish I had tried it sooner, The food came quickly (though not hurried out, A very reasonable amount of time between dishes) All were steaming hot and presented very well, and the taste was perfect! The Virgin cocktails were lovely, me and my friend had the Strawberry cooler and the Mango one.. (I forgot the name xD) But we both loved them! Staff were very friendly, Quick to assist and very polite! 10/10 will be back!

Me and my wife had dinner here to celebrate our first anniversary. The food was very nice. Dumplings and red curry especially. Great service, very nice staff. Offered us a different table when we arrived, which had more leg room. Lovely place.

Great little restaurant in the heart of Brighton lanes. Great selection of food, the food was delicious and full of flavour. Great place to go with friends to eat and chat. Staff were warm and attentive. I wasn't too keen on my cocktail as the alcohol overpowered any other taste, but other than that we couldn't fault the experience and would recommend a visit to anyone.

I know that Giggling Squid Squid is a chain and that the food is somewhat mass produced but the lunch we had was absolutely wonderful. Tasty and very enjoyable, I could not fault it.

This is a great restaurant staff so friendly ,the food is so tasty and I will be going back whenever possible, would definitely recommend to pay a visit
Having lived in Thailand we know what good Thai food tastes like and this was most definitely not it. Ordered a green curry which was almost tasteless. When told that Thai food does not normally taste like that the waitress said “ That’s how English people like it “ …clearly not in every case so it would’ve been nice to be asked how spicy we would like our food. To top things off found a big dark hair in my food so needless to say we would not recommend this “ Thai “ food.

Loved the food, so fresh and tasty. We had the lunch plates, which is a selection of 4 dishes. Really enjoyed the choice I had a more spicy option, but my sister had the less spicy choice. Attentive staff even though they were busy. Will be back.

I liked this place. Small but clean, with great food and nice service. The only thing was that some customers don’t pay attention if they are ready laud in this small place. Nothing to do with the restaurant indeed but it spoiled a bit my meal. Would I go back? I can’t wait ?

We had lunch here over a long weekend. They were very full, but we did get a table for two. The food was very good - multiple tapas portions is a novel idea for Thai food. However, while the restaurant was crowded, we had to wait around 30 minutes for our mains.
