We popped in on a Saturday Lunchtime to nice quiet atmosphere with chilled jazz music playing in the background, perfect for chatting. Friendly service and a concise menu with a decent selection of dishes, either in a tapas style or single main courses. We had two main courses, both of which were excellent. Good, large portion sizes with tasty fresh ingredients. The BBQ sauce in mine was possible a touch too spicy for my palette but still enjoyable. A selection of vegetarian options are available although unfortunately, the 3 main noodle dishes are not as they use a fish sauce base.
So glad this place is still going strong. Somehow it’s always busy and booked out but they can nearly always fit us in. The drinks are great (try the Japanese grapefruit cocktail) and the food is good too.
Smaller space and welcoming. Quick and friendly service. Food was really good! I got the eel with rice, the katsu rice also the takoyaki! Definitely a place to try! Although in my opinion the eel with rice was the best one out of the 3 but they were still really good :)
Great food at a really good price point. We had a number of items off the menu and each one was delicious. The waitress was very accommodating and helped with some menu recommendations.
The restaurant has a nice relaxed vibe with a really cool looking bar which we will be sure to try next time.
The food was such good value that we ordered a few extra dishes, everything was worth it.
We loved coming to this family run restaurant. The food felt authentic and reasonably priced.
We typically go for sushi, but this time we opted for hot dishes (soup 🍵 + katsu curry 🥘) We'd love to go back and try the sushi next time though! 🍣
First visit here. I had chicken Katsu w/egg on soba and a side of tempura asparagus. The chicken was tender with a crisp coating: the noodles/curry was delicious. Great 'comfort' dish. The tempura was also superb. Fresh, light and tasty. The service was great and the atmosphere nice and relaxed. I would recommend to others and would look forward to eating here again. 9/10. (I never give full marks :) )
Possibly our favourite Japanese restaurant in Brighton. We’ve only been to Japan once but to us it seems so authentic and reminds us of that trip.
Brilliant selection on the menu and always lovely service.
Best Japanese food I’ve had in a long time (maybe ever!). Friendly staff, cute spot. 100% worth a visit. Get the prawn gyoza.
Pre-booked dinner here when all the well known restaurants in Brighton were unavailable. What a great decision that turned out to be. Friendly staff with the right level of attentiveness and reassuringly aware of the menu with my allergy. Lots of space in a relaxed setting and trendy neighbourhood. The food was incredible, especially the salmon hosomaki, prawn tempura, pumpkin korokke and tempura ice cream which was to die for. Will 100% be returning when next in Brighton.
Lovely staff. Amazing gyoza. Off the scale katsu curry. This is now my favourite spot in the neighbourhood. What a shame they’re not open on a Sunday, this would be the perfect place for lunch after a big night out.
