An absolute all time favourite.
Have tried it a few times now and it never seems to disappoint. The flavours are bursting, everything is cooked to order so it’s warm and hearty.
Can’t fault it. Amazing value, we end up ordering half the menu! Honestly, if you ask around people will tell you to go, not one to miss.
Great way to try something out of your comfort zone to, like chicken hearts! Wow.
If you need a place with quality food and a great atmosphere then definitely give them a go.

One star less is because I felt rushed as I only had less than 1 hour to eat. Very hard to book a table at the time you want as it’s always fully booked. So it’s not a place where you can come as you wish, needs planning in this restaurant. Good taste of food but some dishes have the same flavours, but I love the chicken skin to start with. I would come here again. As the food is great, and great music too!

One of the best places I’ve tried in my life! I think I might take a trip to Brighton again just to try the place. From the vibe, music, the food and drinks selection. Everything is cooked to perfection. Next time I’m going to try every single item on the menu. If you are in Brighton this should be on top of your list to try. 100% reservation is needed but they might accept walkins.

Good service. Food was amazing. I recommend getting 6 plates for 2 ppl (so 3 per person). The pork belly yakitori was amazing. They also have off menu foods. Highly recommend!!

Yakitori from here is amazing and authentic, the atmosphere is unique, give a feeling that I traveled to Japan. We have order tomato salad and yakitori dishes.
Recommend: Yakitori squid, chicken meatballs with egg yolk, chicken skin.
The wine list is various, a lot of wine from Japan that you can try here.
It is difficult to book, the restaurant is really popular, will suggest to prebook at least two weeks in advance.
The location is near Churchill square.

You need to book well in advance if you want to be choosy with the time and date you visit - but gosh is it worth the wait!!!!
Bincho Yakitori lived up to the hype. Reasonably priced Japanese and Korean-inspired small plates that really pack a punch with every bite.
I was impressed by all the dishes I tried, but standouts were the chicken skins, Korean cauliflower, and the specials; hispi cabbage with black garlic sauce, and matcha green tea ice cream for dessert.
There’s also an extensive drinks menu. The Yuzu lager was zesty and refreshing, and the Sake I enjoyed afterwards was so crisp and delicate. I can’t wait to try more!!
Overall, I can’t fault Bincho. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was ambient and buzzing. Looking forward to the next visit already 😍

I've been multiple times and always enjoyed my experience.
Yes it's cramped, but the service has always been good and since they have their online system its a lot easier to book (though usually a month or so in advance).
The food is good, though the most recent time I wasn't as blown away, maybe it wad a bad day. We were sat at the front, across from the bar, which I nice and bright compared to being out the back, though as people come in they insist on standing right next to you instead of standing by the door.
I'm not sure if I'll go back after my most recent visit, but if you've not been before I definitely recommend.

Pork belly was our favourite. Everything is good. Staff are lovely. It was full when we arrived but they called us after a short time and managed to fit us in. Sake taster was a nice option.

Apparently a very happening place. And I’d have to agree.
Randomly searched for over 4.5 and above closest to me and this was suggested.
I called and they said no availability but turned up and luckily one seat was just about available. After a bit of a shuffle I sat and ate a delicious series of Yakitori. Stand out was the corn, order an extra egg yolk to dip your meats and have it with the garlic rice.
After a month spent in Japan, this is just as good if not better than the best I had in Tokyo. Sorry bout it!

Unbelievable. We was seated at the bar with the view to see the chefs preparing the food. Quite a small venue which allowed quick service. The staff was lovely and the food impeccable. You can’t ask for much more

I don’t know how many times I’ve visited this yakitori.
First of all friendly staff, nice atmosphere, reasonable price yet high quality food. Everything’s perfect.
You don’t need my recommended dishes, but do worry about if you have big enough appetite. Garlic rice, fried cauliflower, and chicken skin are those you can’t miss since I order them EVERYTIME. Their chicken skin sold out again today so you know how popular they are.
It’s a MUST try if you like yakitori!!

One of the best restaurants Ive been to in Brighton! Incredible, authentic Japanese cuisine, major thanks to our waitress Alina who was impeccable and gave us phenomenal recommendations for the yakitori and sake! Highly recommend!

Our table was waited on by Elena, Elena absolutely added to our enjoyment of our evening, when your preferences are listened to, and you receive appropriate suggestions that prove to be excellent suggestions when the courses arrive, coupled with a delicious wine, also suggested. The pace was perfect, we ordered 2 dishes at a time, every plate is a small plate, we finished on 10 plates, we didn’t order any rice or carbs. We left full and totally satisfied. There was no presumptive service charge leaving it to our discretion. A perfect dining experience with probably the best server I can remember ever being served by. P.S. THE CHICKEN SKIN SKEWER ❤️
Fox Vicsson
Our first Japanese dining experience, and one we'd love to repeat!
Get the ribs, if they're on the specials menu - so tender and tasty!
Honourable mention for the pork belly skewers, but everything was good. Including the Japanese beer.
Tables were a bit close together - oh well.
Reese Wright
So glad we found this gem of a restaurant! We had the chicken meatballs with egg yolk dip, quail eggs wrapped in bacon, grilled squid, pork belly, and chicken skin skewers, aubergine with miso paste, garlic rice, plus a flight of sake alongside, and dessert of white chocolate, yuzu & macha fingers. Everything was sublime!
Dan Warder
Amazing meal, best food I’ve had for a very long time! Used to go to their branch in London & so glad to try their new home. Can’t fault anything, will be back asap...
Dan Egan
What an incredible place! As a vegetarian I didn't feel like I was missing out at all. Stand out dishes had to be the cauliflower and the aubergine, so much flavour! The vibe here is cool and relaxed. Serving staff were attentive and happy to guide us through the menu. A very special place indeed!
Soha
In love with the chicken skewers. They are JUICY and so flavorful. They’ve got some halal options. Please do check before ordering. The staff was really kind. They offered to arrange halal meet for the day i booked. We ordered Yakitori- chicken & spring onion, chicken hearts, chicken thigh, chicken skin, salmon and garlic rice 🍚 🐔 🍣
Would definitely recommend visiting. Please do pre book in advance on their site.

Great range of dishes all well cooked. Very busy place so you need to book. When we arrived the woman we spoke to - an older member of staff - was rather unhelpful and somewhat surly (we asked if we could have a particular table of the ones that were empty to be in a slightly quieter area at the back) but the two staff who served us were very nice and helpful.
Speedy service and very good quality food. Good sized portions and we were able to wrap and take the leftovers.
I would rate as excellent but the background music is unnecessarily loud.
