Gabriel Hourigan

Fantastic value and service! Food arrives very fast! It's like fast food but actually good. Plus the tiny place really feels like you've stepped into Japan I've gone several times everyone loves it!

Jack Kosky

Having been to Japan this summer I can safely say that this is an authentic restaurant , similar to many of the fast food places there. I recommend always adding a miso soup to your order.

Claire Webster

Fast, delicious and quite healthy Japanese food . Great value . I love ebi chili don (spicy prawns ) and the gyozas . You can byob if you sit in. I prefer to get take out and sit in the pavillion gardens

Swarmstrong

Super cheap , super fast and super delicious. Absolute must visit if you're in Brighton.

Murillo Braga

Mixed experiences: katsu curry was nice, though stir fried shripms weren't actually fried. Almost raw. Inviting prices but depending on your hunger, 1 dish may not b enough. Place is humble and tight.

Dani

Cheap and cheerful! Fast, and yummy food. You can byob . I recommend the bbq chicken skewers to start and the ungai(eel) special

elyse james

Amazing authentic Japanese food , great value for money , you can get a meal for under £5! Would highly recommend the Tori Chilli Don , but check out the rest of the menu here... http://bit.ly/898Vw9

Delicious, fast, cheap ! Everyone I know loves this place, I highly recommend it! (If you order through dinner2go you can get it delivered!!

Andy Thornton

Specialises in donburi rice bowls , a refreshing antidote to the lazy stereotype that Japanese = sushi . Can't go wrong with the 'parent-and-child' oyakodon. ???? ????????

Jon Busby

Amazing little quirky Japanese fast food place. Get a seat, then go up to order at the counter. The Japanese traditional tea is a little interesting!

Juan L

Top class katsudon ! We ordered to take-away 'cause the place was packed, but the atmosphere was great, wish we could stay.

Mako Ruan

Best value Japanese fast food in England! London needs a place like this.

Ian Agar

This is a great little place to eat. Cheap and tasty. Plus you can bring your own plonk for a corkage fee . It's Brighton's worst kept secret.

James Croll

Cheap , authentic , Pumpkin curry was a real surprise; a must try. Gyoza also excellent. What a place.

James Mayes

Possibly the only place in the world where the food looks like the menu photos! Excellent food, cheap prices. Do it.

Can Bayraktar

Student friendly place w/ decent Japanese food . I have tried #23 & #32 so far and both of them were pretty good.

It is much more delicious and cheaper than Wagamama . A small in size but big in taste! All kind of prawn dishes are worth trying.

Megan Harmer

Cheap , tasty vegetarian dishes . I love the Tofu Chili Don . Very fast service .

Claire Taylor

Service is quick enough to grab a take away during your lunch break. Food is cheap and delicious. Cash only .

The tastiest and best value Japanese food in Brighton. The Sesame Prawn Don and the Yakitori are A-MAZING. Always fantastic value for money - I've never been disappointed here.

They sell the Ramyun just for 50p per each which is Korean spicy . it is probably the cheapest price in here

Michael McCallam

Beautiful food, rice heavy but pretty cheap , around £5 for a main - cash only and order at counter

Myf Nixon

Great for kids. They have highchairs and can give spoons in place of chopsticks. Good kids' dishes include veg noodles and veg rice . And edamame and sweetcorn soup !

Kuo-yu Liang

Fun hole in the wall with wide selections. Food is OK not great, cheap , cash only . There is seating upstairs too.

sam day

The food is great and for a pound a head, you can bring your own alcohol . It's cash only but there's a cash point just around the corner! Read more

Adéla Pokorná

Noodles with prawns .. so delicious????

Jana

One of my favourite restaurant in Brighton-delicious food,nice staff ,great location,good prices... ;)

Scott G

Actually not so good. The service style is very inefficient, and not what you'd expect in a Japanese restaurant at all. Some food is tasty, but overall has lot to learn if it wants to be competitive.

Chery San Tanjung

Tofu don, tori don, everything is good! And cheap .

Tom G

Best quick meal in Brighton

Lauren Angelkov Cummings

Great food that's cheap and fast, budget friendly

A treasure in Bighton! Cheap and fast. Get the miso soup .

Edgar Davey

Amazing, super tasty and super cheap ! Katsu don is less then £5

Miles Thurston

Awesome Katsu curry . Only £4.90. Half the price of Wagamama 's twice the taste!

Delano

Quick service . BYOB for £1.

Theo R

The food is really tasty and not that expensive . The personnel's behavior though is kinda strange, like they want you out of there the second you are done with your meal.

Puppala Dupi

fantastic tasting and cheap dishes

James Mayes

Like Wagamama 's - but more authentic and half the price!

Asude

Meet and rise ???? especially suitable for Turkish people's taste..

Konstantin Kks

Amazing katsudon for just 6 quid

AC Capehart
