Pod Pan-Asian Kitchen

We booked a table for 7 people for last night. Personally I found the place unwelcoming. Point blank Refused entry without face masks and told to go and buy them. No option to provide them inside which was odd considering its their preference and disappointing that they were so stern when telling us to go and buy them. Considering our group took up half the restaurant it just seemed ridiculous to enforce this and be so rude about it when there appeared to be no additional benefit. The limited staff serve you unmasked so it was effectively to enable us to walk past the bar on entrance. Really odd. Just a bit grotty inside. Especially the loos, felt more nightclub than restaurant. The food was ok to be fair. Nothing spectacular in my opinion, very vinegary and a bit tough. But it wasnt bad. Huge portions. No order to how food came out. Mains came before starters and people had finished their main before others had even received theirs. It just didnt flow well at all. Then a compulsory service charge is added. Not great in my opinion.

We headed here for lunch after being told there was a long wait at riddle and finns just around the corner. They had a nice little court yard which we were able to sit in as it was a nice day. Staff were friendly and we were presented with prawn crackers and water straight away. We ordered various dim sum - the stand out being the pork buns and duck wontons. Washed down with a couple of cold beers it was a lovely little surprise restaurant and we would certainly visit again.

We stopped here a few times in our trips to Brighton. We went Saturday 31st Jul and had a veggie hot dog. For such a small place the food was divine and service quick. The views over the beach and sea are a relaxing break from the hussle and bussle of Brighton
