I recently had the pleasure of dining at Thai and Vietnamese Street Food in Eastbourne, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with fantastic service from the friendly and attentive staff. They were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations based on my preferences.
The quality of the food was outstanding, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. The menu offers a great variety of Thai and Vietnamese dishes to choose from, allowing me to explore new and exciting flavors. I particularly enjoyed the Vietnamese dishes, which were a delicious departure from the typical Thai cuisine I am used to.
Though the seating area is small, the cozy atmosphere adds to the charm of the place. However, if you prefer to take your food to go, the takeaway option is equally great. The convenience of being able to enjoy their incredible dishes in the comfort of your own home is a definite plus.
Overall, Thai and Vietnamese Street Food in Eastbourne is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious and authentic Southeast Asian cuisine. The fantastic service, great quality food, and the opportunity to try a variety of incredible dishes make this restaurant a standout in the local dining scene. I can't wait to return and sample more of their...
Read moreLook, let's be real – this isn't some artisanal, slow-food experience. It's quick, no-frills street food. But here's the thing: when it's made properly (like they do here), that's exactly what you want.
I've had enough mediocre takeaway pad Thai to know the difference. Their version? Consistently good. The noodles have that proper chew, it's not drowning in oil, and you can actually taste the tamarind. Is it going to blow your mind? Probably not. But will it satisfy that craving every single time? Absolutely.
Same goes for the massaman curry – yeah, it's probably been simmering all morning, but that's how it should be. The flavours have properly developed, the meat's tender, and it's always piping hot when it hits your table. That's all I ask from a quick lunch spot.
What I appreciate most is the consistency. Whether I pop in on a quiet Tuesday or a slammed Friday lunch, the quality's the same. The staff clearly know what they're doing – no shortcuts, no dumbed-down flavours. Just solid versions of classics, done properly.
So no, you're not getting white tablecloths or fancy plating. But you are getting honest food that tastes like it should, at prices that don't make you wince. In Eatsbourne's sea of mediocre lunch options? That's worth its weight in gold.r unless you enjoy playing table Tetris...

This place used to be one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Eastbourne when it was "Thai StrEat". I would make sure to eat there almost everytime when go into town. It recently changed ownership and now called "Thai & Vietnamese Street Food".
Went in today. Observations:
#Improvements: More outdoor seating than before.
#Not as good as before:
The price is lifted by about 50% comparing to previous ownership. A dish's price itself has gone up by 20% or so but they do not include rice or noodles anymore. So you have to pay for rice or noodles. Therefore, effectively it's about 50% increase on price.
Certain dish did not taste right and I had to send it back. but owner did refund, kudos to that.
atmosphere wise, it's lacking the "homy" "welcoming" personal feeling as it had before.
Though, I gave it 3 stars because I know what it was like before the ownership change. It would still be a good place for quick food if you are in town. However, personally I wouldn't go back myself as it has lost what was...
