I've lived in Brighton for nearly two years now and, as a person who spent my formative years in…read moreHong Kong, could not find any local Chinese restaurant that took my fancy -- until now. As the first dish arrived, a warm noodle dish with a fermented bean sauce that I've ordered at countless Chinese resistants over the years despite repeated punishing disappointment, I was shocked to find it to be... perfect. Just the right amount of rich meat flavouring, no bitterness or cloying sweetness dominating the dish, and perfect ratio of sauce to noodles. The best version of this dish I have eaten outside of China. Then I tried the next dish -- again a commonly available and frequently ordered seared green beans with some spice and minced meat. Disbelief began to set in -- this was the best version of this dish I had in my LIFE. I began to wonder if I had accidentally starved myself for a week to make everything taste this good. Maybe I was going insane from infrequent Chinese food consumption. Maybe I needed to eat at a trashy Chinese restaurant to make sure I was properly calibrated. How could this random restaurant on Queens road, full of eateries that don't even have to be good because they get tourist foot traffic, be blowing my mind? We ordered yet two more dishes. The "Chinese Burger" -- our server admitted he just couldn't find a decent translation for the dish -- which consisted of fatty shredded richly flavoured meat not unlike the Chinese version of the shredded whole roast hog sandwiches that have recently joined London food markets in Southbank Centre and Borough Market. Much like my discovery of Polish lard spread with bits of bacon, the flavour put me beyond caring about the fat content. We finished with a Hunan tofu dish that, again, was stellar and for me an interesting contrast to a lot of the Sichuan tofu preparations I've tried in the past. Unusual for Chinese restaurants in the area, the server/owner was really friendly and chatty, talking about his idea behind the restaurant and photographing the food for the pictures in the window. It was a really warm welcome and only made me more excited to return. The only caveats are the small seating availability (it wasn't crowded -- yet -- but they only just opened a week ago) though they do takeaway, and the fact that the English menu is different from the Chinese menu, and contains an odd assortment of things mostly that people who don't really like and/or know Chinese food could order. It's ridiculous and you should order from the pictures in the window or ask the waiter what is actually on the Chinese menu. I begged them to translate it before I left. I'm still really confused about how every dish was beyond delicious. I will have to go eat at the lowest rated Chinese restaurant on Yelp, a Michelin starred one in London, and here again before I will probably be able to truly believe this magical experience really happened and can be had anytime I'm willing to spare a 5 min walk and £15pp. You think I'm joking, but I'll report back after I'm sure I'm properly calibrated.

Extensive menu where it's an all you can eat buffet type restaurant, however unlike Days etc the food is brought to your table. Have been several times with varying party sizes and the portions always seem to be spot on! If there are two of you and you order let's say prawn toast you get a slice each, if there are 3 of you there is a 3rd so there is none of this I will have 2 and you 1. The food is fresh and the quality is good, if this was in central Brighton then it would be a lot more expensive than the price you pay in Hove/Portslade. Sometimes the service can be a bit pushy but other times it can be a bit slow. Overall though this is my go to place for Asian cuisine.

The food is of extremely good quality and the staff are absolutely wonderful. I have never had a bad dish here and frequently return to sample different dishes off the menu each time. Another added bonus is that they have a loyalty card that is extremely generous. Every fifth meal you get a meal free! You really cannot complain with that. Also, the food is very cheap - all you can eat of three courses of delicious and fresh food for just a mere £15.95. They also put on an Elvis night on every so often that you pay an extra few pounds for so that you can be entertained by Elvis all night! I would highly recommend this restaurant. It really is one of my favourites!

Out of the 3 times I've used this take-away, once was a delivery so wasn't sure how hot it would be but as I'm 2 miles away I thought it would be hot. As it wasn't as hot as I'd like I tried ordering to pick up. The problem is the food is cooked way before your pickup time so sitting around for ages which I discovered on my last order early saturday evening. I phoned the order in at 6.45pm and was told the next pickup slot was 8.10pm, she said they worked on slots and that was the next slot. I turned up at 8pm and was prepared to hang around outside until ready but it was ready when I walked in. When I got home I discovered the food was barely warm so had to stick it in the microwave to make it edible. Their system is flawed and if you're ok with luke warm food then use them otherwise turn up 20 minutes before your slot. If I wanted microwaved food I'd have gone to the supermarket.

The first thing you notice when you arrive is the amount of Chinese people eating there which is always a pleasant sight. The staff make you feel welcome from the moment they greet you and show you to your table to the moment they bring you the bill. The house white wine is very drinkable indeed and at £11 a bottle, there's no need to hold back ordering the stuff! My favourite part of any Chinese meal is the appetizers and at Good Friends, they really are worth making the most of (even if you order a smaller main course). My favourite is the salt and pepper squid which hits the balance so well between flavour and spiciness. The won-ton soup is light and really gets the taste buds ready for the next few courses which in my humble opinion should consist of their crispy duck and pancakes and then some sweet and sour pork with special fried rice. I'm always too full up to eat a pudding but they do have a selection of sorbets and ice-creams. We've had so many meals here from birthday parties to engagement celebrations and have never been disappointed. A truly warm and welcoming place that cooks it food extremely well.

Including the desserts. I loved it so much that I excitedly tweeted to them that I would singlehandedly keep a restaurant open in Brighton. And they replied to me telling me to wait. Well... the wait is over! Today I was invited to the opening of the new Leon Restaurant in Brighton which replaces Eat. I think this is a brilliant swap as Eat was far too similar to its neighbour Pret. But Leon is quite different in that it offers warm, hearty food. Setting up just before winter is also probably a good move. The decor is really nice and chilled out. They make good use of the space which I've previously found a bit dark and claustrophobic. Katy and I were greeted by some of the nice workers at Leon and told we could each choose a meal and drink to have on the house. We both went for the Moroccan Meatballs (on my recommendation). I had a lemonade to drink and Katy went for a green smoothie. We also picked up a few sweet treats: my favourite lemon and ginger slice and a billionaire shortbread for Katy. The meatballs are my favourite so I knew I would like them, but Katy had never been to a Leon and she loved it as well. She began talking about how close it is to her work and how she will be able to pop in on breaks for a relatively healthy and warm meal. We also tried searching for the menu online and a sneaky link to Deliveroo popped up. So we're hoping they're going to be one of our delivery options soon.
