Fumi in Brighton and Hove

La comida fue lo más destacado de la noche, la calidad era fantástica y fresca. Los precios estaban bien, por la calidad de la comida. Sin embargo, el servicio era cómico, aunque normalmente no nos molesta la calidad del servicio, la falta de lo mencionado anteriormente nos hizo reír a ambos, ya que numerosas mesas quedaron desconcertadas por el personal a menudo perdido y confundido. No parece haber orden ni estructura que el personal de servicios deba seguir, tal vez por falta de liderazgo y capacitación. El personal a menudo parecía no saber qué hacer. Los pedidos se dirigen regularmente a las mesas equivocadas y el personal repite preguntas como ¿te gustaría pedir a pesar de que ya lo hizo momentos antes. Durante la experiencia, muchas mesas a nuestro alrededor, se encontraron quejándose del servicio tanto privado como público, lo que sí puso un amortiguador en la experiencia general. Sin embargo encontramos la comedia en los errores

Este restaurante es excepcionalmente agradable! Tuvimos la comida más deliciosa, un servicio fabuloso y un ambiente muy agradable. El menú degustación fue recomendado y no decepcionó con platos únicos, sabores complementarios y tanta experiencia culinaria. ¡Regresaremos!

He comido en muchos restaurantes de Brighton, así que no puedo creer que me haya llevado tanto tiempo encontrar este lugar. Vi un comentario sobre la “mala ubicación”, pero honestamente, no es un problema — hay estacionamiento gratuito en la calle después de las 8 pm si estás conduciendo. La comida y el ambiente eran impecables, y el personal era encantador. Incluso en un frío y lluvioso viernes por la noche, el lugar era animado, pero pensé que merece más atención. Si te gusta Bincho Yakitori pero quieres algo un poco más, bueno, refinado (menos buceo - bar) esto es perfecto. El menú tiene algo para todos — sushi genial para los comensales aventureros y un montón de otras opciones si el sushi no es lo tuyo. No pases por alto este lugar.

Tuvimos la absoluta ALEGRÍA de hablar con Pelim durante nuestra visita. Ella compartió su vasto conocimiento de los vinos con nosotros, nos dio algunas recomendaciones increíbles de vino y sake y estaba muy feliz de charlar con nosotros. Es un verdadero diamante dentro de la compañía. Gracias Pelin 😊

La comida era mejor, pero la experiencia general todavía no justifica el precio. En primer lugar, este lugar está en la UBICACIÓN COMPLETAMENTE EQUIVOCADA para este estilo de restaurante. Siento que alguien de fuera de la ciudad invirtió sin revisar la zona primero, ubicado entre la estación de policía y un bloque del consejo, ciertamente no querría comer al aire libre aquí. En segundo lugar, no espero que haya perros presentes en ningún restaurante que esté sirviendo comida como un 5 wagu. Perros en un pub, bien. Perros en un restaurante para una cena, completamente inaceptable y muy antihigiénico. Si no estuviéramos con un partido tan grande, me habría ido inmediatamente. Por último, como otros han dicho, el personal es muy amable pero no conocen el menú, el vino o cómo pronunciar la mayoría de las cosas, lo que indicaría que no han tenido mucha formación. Fueron sin embargo, lo más destacado como muy amable y atento. Le he dado un par de vueltas a Fumi ahora y es decente, pero están cobrando precios superiores - finales en un poco muy esbozado de la ciudad y había perros corriendo por ahí dentro...

Recientemente fuimos a Fumi Brighton para una noche de chicas y no decepcionaron. La comida era increíble, mucha variedad para elegir, lo recomiendo encarecidamente! El servicio fue de primera categoría, gracias especiales a Adrian y Luca por alojarnos y asegurarse de que estábamos bien atendidos. Sin duda volveremos 🫶🏼

Incredible food, we opted for the “experience menu” and each dish was better than the last and the cocktails were to die for!

The serving staff were sweet but absolutely clueless. They may have just grabbed some nice students walking by an hour before and said “they will do”. They didn’t know anything about the food, cocktails and worst of all never removed one empty glass or used plate the entire evening. Our mains came while there were stacked starters with prawn tails etc and finished cocktail glasses filling the table. Oh I should note the mains all came at separate times (not sharing small plates). We had to go up to the counter several times to get service, more drinks etc no one even asked if we wanted pudding. The food was average. Fish dishes were over salted. Design of the room was beautiful, but I would not return.

One of the best restaurants in Brighton if you like Japanese food. Genuinely cooked ingredients and amazing service. The restaurant is really modern and I like the whole concept. Really recommend it.

Very friendly /,great staff , great cocktails, but way over priced for quality of food . Nicely presented but just slightly better than Wagamamas !!!! Starter was £16 for 2 small slices of beef, it was more expensive than the main Bento Box !!! How can this be ? A very limited lunch menu and not really any atmosphere. Don’t waste your money there are way better in Brighton.

Excellent food ,wonderful staff and a great atmosphere. Each course was presented beautifully and explained in detail. Spending an evening at Fumi is a must.

Decided to try the 6 course chefs choice meal and added a 7th course of A5 wagu beef. Absolutely delicious! So many new and interesting flavours. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely night. The staff were amazing and the food was wonderful. Can’t wait to go back. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great spot for Japanese food. The omakase was great, really nice different selection of their dishes. Left very full. Manager went the extra mile to make sure we had a great experience. Great decor and feel.

Three of us came here for dinner on a Thursday night, our first time. It’s a lovely large space with beautiful décor. We chose some smaller dishes to share to start with, tempura prawns and marinated red mullet and tuna tataki. The prawns and red mullet were very nice, the tuna was a minuscule portion and so thin I could barely pick it up with chopsticks, it was also supposed to be with a slaw which was nowhere to be see unless you call a micro-herb a slaw. For mains I had sea bass with clams and samphire, the fish was perfectly cooked, I had a little grit in the clams, overall nothing special and not discernibly Japanese. My partner had a pork belly dish which was a very small for the price. Our friend had noodles with beef tenderloin which was a big bowl of vegetable noodles with a couple of small slices of beef on top. The food here is overpriced for what you get, the portions of the protein are tiny, it does not represent value for money here at all. Also the waiter needs proper training, I asked what one dish was on the menu and he didn’t know and had to get the manager to come and explain which is ridiculous, waiting staff should know the menu inside out. We also received a drink to our table which was not meant for us and also a plate of food which wasn’t ours and this was on a really quiet night with hardly any tables. We shared two bottles of wine and our bill came to just under £200 for the 3 of us because they whacked on an additional £17.70 for service although it hadn’t even been very good! Then to add insult to injury, with the bill we were handed a token allowing us 30% off our meal in January if we prebook (we were a walk in). A better restaurant would have taken 30% off our bill there and then. Sadly we wouldn’t rush back here anytime soon based on all the points above and I can’t see this restaurant lasting unless it starts to give customers better value for money.

Food was exceptional, literally just fab but and it’s a big but, the service is just weird. Waiter forgot some of the order, wrong wine, served a wrong drink. Sadly, as cut throat as Brighton and Hove is, service could be their downfall!!!

With a twarm greeting, the striking stylish decor, elegant menu and spacious tables, we were excited. Whole family outing with two fussy eaters, meant it was a risk. Not so: a plate of salmon nigiri (oh that’s amazing said fussy eater1) to the grilled garlic sprouts (hit with fussy eater 2) everything surprised and delighted. Each item was cooked with care and precision in this Californian style Japanese experience. Even the Prosecco was crisply perfect. Service was careful , caring and quick. Brilliant !

Exceptional! The food, the staff, the ambience all absolutely top notch. We had the 6 course tasting menu and it was honestly one of the best meals we have ever had, and we have eaten at some fancy places! We can’t wait to go back and try a bento box, this is definately our new Brighton favourite restaurant! We will certainly be back and would 100% recommend. The sushi was the best we have ever eaten, and by far the best in Brighton, and we have tried them all on many occasions . The blackened cod incredible, truly a treat for the taste buds, every course was wonderful. Give it a go! Ignore the negative reviews, it’s amazing food, service and ambience!

The design and aesthetic alone 10/10. Food 10/10 (got the bento box for a selection fairly priced for the amount) service 10/10. I look forward to returning in the evening with a big group of friends maybe for a birthday perhaps. 😋

Terrible Service from the start from ill informed and untrained staff. Was told the Bento Box selected was Meat only but when arrived contained Prawns and Fish, bit of a problem when previously mentioned wife's crustacean allergy! Tasteless food, amazing for Japanese cuisine. Only people in Restaurant at 1.00pm on Friday just before Xmas! we should have read warning signs. AVOID at all costs.

The Omakase menu was amazing and the service was great. Can't afford to go every week but a treat all round.

Excellent service by the team specially, Fardin - specially was very caring & professional. Keep it up.

Visited today with family. Lovely, simple decor creating a serene feel. You can eat full.meals or pop in for excellent coffee. I had a sumptuous bowl of teriyaki beef with noodles, my son and fiancée teriyaki chicken and sushi. You can also have a tray selection of delicacies and Miso soup. There are vegetarian and vegan options. Staff are so lovely. The restaurant is behind Grand Parade, in Circus street, turn down Kingswood street, just next to the White Brighton University Grand Parade building I say this because it is tucked away and needs to be made known to everyone as fantastic! Visit NOW.

This restaurant has the potential to be excellent, but would benefit from a little more work on the decor, to make the place feel less like a converted pre-fab building and more like a high-end Japanese restaurant. For example, the ceilings are so high, it makes the place feel huge, and it would benefit from being lowered e.g. Japanese style drapes, or a false ceiling. Also, there is no cloakroom and no entrance way so to speak, so you just walk straight into the restaurant. Cheap/bad smelling soap in the loos, no hand-dryers or paper towel dispensers on the wall etc. Just a bit unfinished feeling. Service was very friendly but a little slow at points, but it felt like all the staff were working hard, so perhaps too few of them? Very close to being a superb restaurant.....I hope they up the ante a little bit, as I would like to be a repeat diner!

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive which made up for the lackadaisical attitude of the other staff. Food was a mixed bag: Wagyu Katsu Maki was the best dish we had by far. Other than that pretty average have had the same for a lot less, wagyu tataki was nice but very hard to mess this up. Beef fillet tataki was completely ruined by the waiter pouring soy sauce all over it - could have served us cardboard in soy and would have tasted the same it was so overpowering. Other dishes were average. Very upmarket styling and pricing for such a bad area of the city - as we are we watched two people fight over and smash a wine bottle outside and there was faeces all over the street directly outside the front door.

The service was excellent and attentive. Like it is dog friendly too! Great menu and selection. We all enjoyed our mains. But I ordered the beef fillet and it came with a few spring onions but no offer of sides. Beef was cooked perfectly. Atmosphere...

A warm Saturday night was probably not the best time to sample this restaurant for the first time, but as it was our anniversary, we went for it. Fumi is in a spectacular, industrial-chic room. However, the acoustics are bad due to hard surfaces (apart...

Extremely slow service, the drinks and food took way too long to arrive to the table it just felt like staff were chatting and not working. We had a few cancellations on a big a table which we gave a day notice weren’t coming and...

Terrible. Went for lunch, just ourselves and 3 other tables so totalling 10 people max. Service so slow, realised why as when we left all the staff were out back fagging it. Food wasn’t authentic and a bit rough round the edges. Style over substance....

The service was fantastic, lovely staff, really helpful and the decor is amazing. Sadly the food lets it down. We ordered tuna sashimi which arrived with 4 pieces of very small tuna all different sizes, no soy sauce or wasabi. Our main courses were lukewarm,...

I have heard about the new Japanese restaurant FUMI in the most amazing newly build area in Brighton and selected it for our Wedding Anniversary. The place is great, the furniture comfortable, the mural incredible and the staff is wonderful. But the food was less...

We went for lunch 2-30pm they gave us a table them 2 minutes later the waiter told us sorry the chef is taken a 2 hour break and we had to leave . Lunch is advised up to 4pm .. then the waiter and chef...

Absolutely beautiful food. Great atmosphere and service. Really understand allergies. Would recommend 100%!

We visited this Fumi not long after it opened to celebrate our son’s graduation. There were some bits of detail (weirdly no Saki on the drinks menu but they have Saki) and some teething problems (issues in the kitchen resulting in very long wait for...

I was very excited to try this place. Brighton lacks a fantastic Japanese restaurant - and unfortunately still does!! The restaurant itself looks and feels amazing, but the food was average at best. Everything felt a little underwhelming and lacked any wow factor. The batter...
