Not bad but with one caveat: skip the sushi and try the typical izakaya stuff instead…read more When you walk in here you will recognize this kind of place instantly if you are a global traveller who has spent time in neighborhoods outside of the major cities: at one time it was the only sushi restaurant in town and it has maintained its ways throughout the years. The quality is not bad, not good but it will do if you need your fix and have no other option. Sushi itself is OK. Tuna nigiri was strangely colored and not too flavorful whereas seared salmon belly was a bit better and close to standard. Much better was chicken katsu curry and the gyoza, both of which were perfectly fine preparations of the comfort food classics. The vibe is a little weird. All families and some classical music on the sound system. This is not a date night place or a hip venue - go across the street to the yakitori place for that.

At last! A decent sushi restaurant in Brighton. I've had two really annoying Japanese meals in…read moreBrighton, one in a restaurant owned by a certain famous DJ and another at a well known sushi chain (I honestly think a BigMac would've tasted better than the food in there). First of all, in Sushi Garden, you actually feel like your in a Japanese restaurant, the decor, smell and staff all really make the senses jump! We had a fantastic lunch there one Saturday and found it a lot more relaxing as it wasn't as packed out as the evening time. I started with some nice warm saki to get things going and then ordered a mix of tuna and salmon sashimi and nigiri (I always over order this as its so moreish). For a main I had some pork gyoza with a pork shabu salad on the side which was more than enough for me for lunch. Japanese restaurants aren't the cheapest places to eat but when they're as good as this who cares.

The food is pretty decent, especially at the reasonable price you pay to eat. The decor of the place is great too. Simple, clean and spacious. Lots of food to chose from. The cold stuff from sushi, sashimi and salads. Then there's hot food too in the form of rice and noodle soup pots. Everything is kind of health conscious, so you dont get the fried dishes you would normally find in other Japanese restaurants. It's cheap and cheerful, does the job if you like Japanese food. It's more fast food than restaurant so don't go there thinking you're getting a posh meal. You're food comes on trays, the cutlery is plastic. Kinda cool cutlery too! Well worth a visit

Maybe you should try to not serve that much of dishes, because you can't handle that. If you are perfect with chicken, but serving rotten avocados, where is the point to go to Kokoro? You can spot black dots on the avocado when it's rotten, and trust me it smells really bad. Just because of that I can't go back to Kokoro, it's dangerous to get poisoned by food, plus, an avocado is easy to find in a fresh condition every morning, or maybe you're just trying to save money and buy then weekly? Shame if I'm right. Plus, I should say that the service is very rude, they are not smily, not funny, quite sad or mad at you, I don't even know why are you doing this job if you can't bare customers? And I think I got scammed because I'm not a native, because I was overpaid for noodles, so hopefully I know how to count my £ to avoid that :).

I actually got sick after dining there because of how cold it was. The staff at Moshimo were accommodating and serviceable, although our food did take a bit longer than expected to prepare. The conveyor belt was a cool feature! However, I did wish there was more variety, as it mostly had the same plates during our visit. In terms of the food, we only got a sushi boat. I did like the bespoke approach of paying as much as you want for the boats. The sashimi was tasty and fresh!

Undoubtedly one of the best Japanese restaurants in Brighton. That's quite an assertion to make,…read morebut if you've been there yourself you'll know what I'm talking about. If you like your sushi then perhaps try the Sushi Bento (5 pieces of nigiri sushi: salmon, tuna, prawn, mackerel & squid, 3 pieces of vegetable hosomaki, 2 pieces of futomaki, fishcakes plus edamame & pickles & a drink). However, since this is an Isakaya restaurant and not strictly sushi, there are plenty of other items on the menu to choose from including udon noodles and their tapas choices. My personal favourites have to be the Daikon & Seaweed salad in a Plumleaf dressing and Hash Browns in Teriyaki sauce. These is Japanese diner cuisine at its best.

The falafel are freshly cooked, delicious, crispy chickpea balls of delight, dotted with zingy coriander seeds and other tasty herbs and spices. You can get them on their own, served in a pita bread with your choice of Houmous and other dips, or you can opt for the lunchbox, which is my recommendation. With the lunchbox you get falafel, bulgar wheat salad, slaw, salad leaves, houmous, tatziki, babaganoosh, tahini, toasted seeds', Parmesan polenta balls and other delicious dips. It is absolutely delicious - so much so that I've been back for lunch every week since I discovered Smorl's. That's how good they are. Highly recommended.
