"We had dinner here on Friday night and it was really good. If Thai West and Thai Sakon are your 5/5 benchmarks, this is a comfortable 4/5. It’s a small cafe layout rather than a restaurant (wipe clean table tops, no alcohol license , with attentive service and pretty fast food arrival. We were the only ones there at 7:30pm and there are only four tables, so I recommend it to others who are hard of hearing like we are, because you won’t struggle to hear! Clean and comfortable, no gorgeous surroundings but the prices are low so my expectations were more than met. The food was great. Good quality chicken and duck meat, lovely king prawns. Light and crispy tempura batter and crisp fried bread in the starters these things that are easy to do badly were done very well. The Jasmine rice was absolutely delicious, sticky and fragrant, I could eat it all day and all night! We had a set meal for two people; £40 buys you a mixed starter and three mains of your choice with Jasmine rice and egg fried rice on the side. Mixed starters were tasty and fresh, a good range of food perfect if you want to sample a range of dishes. The Tom Yum (I know that’s not quite right but can’t remember the name soup was mildly spicy and *very* tasty. Other reviewers have commented that it’s made to Western tastes and I agree. The green curry was delicious with what I can tell is excellent quality coconut milk (makes all the difference! but definitely on the sweeter and milder end of the spectrum as opposed to the firecracker that I understand it would be in Thailand. I feel like they might benefit from offering a curry with a more traditional heat/sugar level as an option; that would be so great as a lot of us know and respect a traditionally spicy one. The Pad Thai is the dish people will judge you by, and it was fabulous. The beansprout:noodle ratio was dialled too far into beansprout territory in my opinion, but what do I know? I just love rice noodles : All in all it was a very pleasant experience and I look forward to getting a takeaway from here soon. When compared to the other Thai takeaway in Brighouse (chaiyo , there’s really no comparison. Thai Sawadhee is a thousand times better in terms of flavour and ingredient quality."
