Moshimo in Brighton and Hove

One of the best places I have eaten in a while, been here twice now the suishi is great and the tapas style food is delicious so much so I don't have any photos of them as I was too busy tucking in. we went as 3 and picked a few dishes to share, at the time they had a festive mulled wine which was a delight. Picked a few things from the conveyer belt too! We booked in advance and it seems like that would be advisable as it is very popular but there where empty tables which where free. I highly recommend a visit!

Great food and really good service. Really enjoy coming to moshimo. Always recommend when someone asks for s food Japanese or sushi place in Brighton

Excellent restaurant and 50% off deals for members on a Monday and Tuesday and Vegans on Wednesday. Highly recommend

Moshimo is a fine place to have dinner, not so keen in the broad light of day but purely from an aesthetics pov The food is ok, I think the best thing it has going for it is the big selection INCLUDING VEGAN so if you're going out with vegan and omnivorous pals then this is a really great shout. House wine is a decent price and not too bad so tight budgets can be catered for. Would not bother with the sushi boats they're very overpriced for an underwhelming offering.

Moshimo was lovely. We went as a huge 20-person group, and the staff accommodated that amazingly. I tried the sea-bass ceviche, which was only okay to me, it kind of tasted like cockles, like to the T, which wasn't awful and it was definitely fresh but not my cup of tea. However, a friend and I shared a £40 sushi boat, which more than made up for the mediocre ceviche. It was absolutely delicious, fresh, and looked beautiful. I was super full after sharing the sushi boat and the starter. It was an expensive meal if you're on a budget, definitely a once a month thing for me, but it was really enjoyable!

The most lovely meal we’ve had in a good while! Moshimo is a firm favourite for my family, the membership cards, the friendly staff, and the beautiful food! The shrimp tempura was the winner of the night, light crispy coating, with flavourful and juicy shrimp inside. A true delight. Not to mention that it’s dog friendly! The rose was delicious, the food came out super quick, piping hot, and absolutely perfect, from the soy ribs that fell off the bone, to the sashimi, not forgetting the gyozas!! A massive shout out to our waiter Dexter, who was attentive, helpful, kind, approachable, quick to help, and all round a diamond. Thanks for another lovely night, and we look forward to many more to come! Thanks guys! See you soon ☺️

Brilliant food along with excellent friendly service from Dexter, best sushi in Brighton, can’t recommend this place enough

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun.

We ordered sushi, hot tapas and chicken bulgogi. I’ve eaten in the restaurant before and loved it so accepted it’s a little pricier for the quality. It was honestly so terrible. I’m not one to write a review but blimey it was bad. Half the sushi arrived disassembled, the aubergine had 2 pieces (???) and the bulgogi was so awfully spiced with terrible cheap chicken. The fish in the sushi was not fresh and flavourless. I’ve not ever had sushi that is filled with lettuce before??? What on earth was that. All round really disappointed and £80 worse off. Edited response to moshimo- I’m sorry that you believe it is a better use of your time to write a long catty response to me than it is to look at your own process, question what went wrong with this delivery and improve. You can see I’m not lying from the pictures and evidenced by the fact you’ve told me to lodge a formal complaint with Deliveroo. I don’t know why you are trying to both nullify my experience and also tell me it is true and I should’ve complained through a different medium. To tell a customer to use ai because you just don’t like their response isn’t going to get you anywhere. Deliveroo actually TOLD me to leave a review for you instead of taking it to them! Also- commenting that you have looked at my profile and assessed my other reviews is creepy as hell 🤢

bad quality food bad service and extremely expensive

Food was excellent, cocktail options could be more flexible and expansive, belt food has no stickers detailed what they actually are

Good service but overpriced and too noisy. Salmon and avocado rolls had very little avocado.

Amazing fresh collection of the Too good to go 🙌 Thank you Moshimo. You made my day ❤ 💕

Nice Sushi, not the cheapest but really good

Great Sushi, below par sides, overall nice vibes

Highly recommend the boats. You pick the price, chef picks the sushi and sashimi.

Always fresh and delicious sushi. My favorite is ceviche. Very tasty ceviche.

We went to Moshimo as part of an organised restaurant tour. It was simply dire. Such poor quality sushi it should have a t on the end of it.

Cancleed my order 15 mins before on too good to go - had lunch booked at work - wont wver use again - waste of time and out of order when had all day - why advertise ?

First class service, authentic and modern interior, quality food, clean, great place for lunch in a group or alone, spacious, airy, nice ambience.

I’m not sure about the other food, but the sushi is maybe the worst I’ve ever had. I never leave Google reviews but this was so awful it was warranted.

We have had sushi before but not really experienced other Japanese cuisine. Our prawn katsu served with rice, curry sauce, kimxhi and picked was a tasting adventure. Miso soup and Tempura icecream completed a great meal. Very clean. Personable staff and lovely inside outside decor! The couple next door reported their boat of sushi was wonderful with top quality fish.

Food was nice. The staff was friendly. Good place to grab some food.

I went here with my daughter for lunch. Booked online. Good vibe here. We sat at one of the tables on the conveyor belt. Food was good. Good juices to drink. Waiters were really friendly - I went here as it was recommended by 2 other locals. They were spot on. Good suchi restaurant

First visit but definitely not the last! Brilliant vegan options, my daughter loved it all especially the vegan prawn tempura. Friendly, unobtrusive service from nice staff. Laid back atmosphere, we liked being able to interact with other diners (and dogs!). My only negative was that the miso soup (which was utterly delicious!) was in a very small bowl - I'd have loved a refill!

Great selection of sushi & other meals, as well as a great vegan selection too.

Lovely setting, incredible food and amazing VG section 😋

It was a fantastic experience! The food was authentically Japanese, and delicious. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the katsu curry was absolutely amazing packed with rich, savory flavor. One of the highlights was the conveyor belt. It added fun to the dining experience, allowing us to try dishes at our own pace. The ambiance of the restaurant is vibrant, classy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. The service was excellent, too. The staff were attentive and friendly. Overall, Moshimo offers a delightful combination of great food, a unique dining experience, and top-notch service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Japanese meal in Brighton!

Nice lunch spot with fresh juices and a good menu selection. Reasonably priced for the quality too.

Great restaurant with great food. Best sushi I've ever eaten (even if it was vegan). We had the vegan boat for €50, which was far enough for the three of us.

Good thing is all the soy sauce is gluten free - which is fantastic and excellent for me. My gripe is that it feels a bit chaotic and there isn't enough quality sashimi on the menu. I actually prefer ordering from the slightly different menu they have on deliveroo.

We ate next door but google says we were here. Looked very good though

Great service and great food with a wide variety of options for different dietary requirements.

Une confrontation amusante avec la cuisine nippone. Pour qqun de goûts européens, cette dernière avait manifestement été adaptée, mais sans tuer ses originalités. Service et conseils très attentifs et dispensés par des personnes sympathiques. Terrasse située dans une cour, mais habilement rendue agréable. Pas exceptionnel mais agréable pour le temps d'un repas

I used to quite like this place. Usual conveyor belt of nice things going around. Large menu of pretty good food. Somewhat unexpectedly the tempura Udon noodles turned out to be really rather fab. Who'd have thought it. Anyway, food and service was very good. Now here is the issue. Dogs. Lots of dogs. What is it that people have to bring their dogs into restaurants ? There were six dogs within immediate vicinity of us. Some sat on the seats , some on the floor. Staff stepping over them. Meantime I'm thinking is my granddaughter sat where a dogs backside and feet have been. Then ,of course, the unavoidable odd barking or yapping. Control the beast !!! Time to leave and not with a warm blue plastic bag in my pocket ! Please stop this nonsense.

Superb! Love the Tuna Tataki! It’s incredible! The vibe is cool and quite trendy, and the food is wonderful! The service is great. One of our favourite Sushi restaurants in Brighton! It’s a real treat. I just wish they still served the Kale Crisps that were stunning!

Shame the service is so bad because the food is actually good. We had a very bad experience today. The waitresses did not have a clue what they were serving. We were a party of six and ordered a variety of fish dishes and vegan dishes. They initially brought out several wrong dishes, plates we didn’t order. When we asked about them, they didn’t even know the names of the dishes or which ones were vegan or not. At one point, they mentioned a couple of dishes were vegan, but when we asked again, they were actually not. They had to go back and forth to the kitchen with the dishes multiple times to ask what they were and if they were vegan, like five times. They kept apologizing but continued making more mistakes. The same issue occurred at dessert. It was very frustrating when a restaurant that has a very good plant-based selection, clearly explained in the menu, made us not trust what we were actually eating. When we ordered the bill, surprise, it was wrong, and we had to ask to remove dishes we didn’t even eat. Very disappointed with the experience. I took my family this weekend as a treat, and it made us feel uncomfortable.

What a wonderful little discovery the food is to die for my mother and I when hard on the sushi but there are also hot food the prawn tempura where splendide with it little sauce I highly recommend popping by when in Brighton also it the price are very reasonable

One word, 👏 amazing Simple delectable sushi collection and plant based options are so so good , no foul smell, no chewy chwey , very very tasty

First time at Moshimo and it was a lovely experience! The atmosphere was amazing and calm and the customer service was excellent. The staff ensured that we had all we needed and went above and beyond. The food did not fall short of expectations and I was glad that there were a range of options for meat lovers as well.

Haven’t been for a while since Moshi Moshi - hugely disappointed. Service was lacking, we even had to stand around with employees walking past us to pay the bill. Food was dry and tasteless. Atmosphere lacking - a complete fall from the old Moshi Moshi days

Absolutely amazing food. Enjoyable atmosphere and brilliant staff. Gyozas were a personal favourite.

Great food and service and seems to get better each time. Conveyor looked to be better stocked at dinner time, than lunch time?

Really lovely food. Nice staff. Good vibes. Sit near the conveyer belt for more fun!

Owner is a basket case: replied to my tripadvisor review with the *exact duration* of our visit as some sort of gotcha, meaning he looked us up on CCTV after! Didn't engage with any valid criticism (super weak cocktails and pricey ebi - usually one of the cheaper dishes). Just accused me of a "false narrative" and "having an agenda" 🤷‍♀️ If your review is anything less than praise, get ready to have this freak reply-guy you. Absolutely bonkers.

A treasure hidden in full sight in the middle of Brighton. The food was delicious, with kind and helpful staff. We had vegan sushi which was wonderful, full of flavour and beautifully presented, but you can also choose from dishes that trundle past on a conveyor belt. Thank you, lovely 🌹

Just picked up some sushi and it was so amazing, the best we’ve had yet. Really friendly guy hosting to!

I took my 11 year old to experience her first sushi dish. We ordered a sushi boat and she loved it. What a great place to go for quality food and service.

Great, could do with more subtle music...

Amazing service, the waitress was very attentive and kept us updated about the situation, although they took 45 mins to prepare a sushi boat for 3 people

Always great food. Very quiet for a change on our visit.

Dear traveller - I'm a simple beast. Put me next to a sushi conveyor and, provided enough ebi (shrimp) and sake (salmon) drift past me, I'll probably be happy. All I ask is that the fish be fresh and the wasabi suitably potent. If you really want to impress me, drop a glass of Kirin beer with me - or at least some green tea macha. Moshimo (née MoshiMoshi) used to be a step up from the meh experience of the likes of Yo!Sushi. Some time a few years back though, before the pandemic, something changed and the experience really took a nosedive. My husband and I ate there this evening, hoping it might have regained its former glory having survived COVID-19. No such luck. Ebi - shrimp nigiri - is now the second most expensive sushi dish on the conveyor. A plate of two prawns, splayed over rice, is a "black" plate and about £5. That is bonkers! Ditto for the salmon (sake) and the tuna (ōtoro). The salmon was fine, but over-priced. Fresh salmon has a distinct taste to it, and fresh tuna melts in the mouth. I saw two pieces of tuna going round the conveyor; my husband had the more presentable one and the other we allowed to continue on its way. It looked like it had been there for a while, so why interrupt its journey? We also tried two of the sake cocktails: sake margarita and sake daiquiri. Neither of them tasted remotely alcoholic. We can only imagine that literally *a shot* of sake was thrown in, which is the equivalent of making a cocktail with a shot of white wine. Each cocktail cost £12! It was daylight robbery! The final bill for a bunch of conveyor plates and those two drinks came to about £95. I asked to remove the optional 12% gratuity - no disrespect to the staff, who were perfectly nice, but I'm not giving The House an extra tenner for extremely anæmic drinks and serving myself some plates of fish and rice. I would expect that the staff are all paid properly, regardless of tip. The fish was supermarket quality. Absolutely nothing amazing or even good. Kokoro does (or at least did) much better sushi. The wasabi was very weak; I appreciate it's not proper wasabi - like most places outside of Japan it's actually just dyed horse radish - but I do expect it to have a little bit of a kick without needing a half-teaspoon each time. The drinks were a joke. The whole thing was a poor show start to finish. I will, again, call out that the staff were perfectly nice. This is no reflection on them. Although I might recommend that you not constantly drift over, trying to take away empty plates: I like having a stack of plates so I can keep track of what I've had and how much I've spent. It's a pointless low-level trick to try and get customers to spend more by removing the most obvious signpost of how much one has spent. You don't need to do it so knock it off. Traveller: go literally anywhere else for sushi of the same or better quality at a lower cost. Moshimo: I understand the cost-of-living crisis has made running a restaurant hard... Jesus, we had to sell our house because of the changes to mortgage rates! This is not the right way to run things, though. You need good, local ingredients that pack a fresh punch and customers need to see some value for what they order - eg £12 should get you a cocktail that has a detectable level of alcohol in it.

Perfection. Food was excellent. First Time but will be back.

raw fish?! #yummers !!! cute date tho #ilovemybros

This is my favourite resturant in Brighton, my favourite sushi place, especially because of the 50% off discounts and their sushi boats! I've always had great service and always recommend it to my friends.

It's been a few years since visiting. We ate at the conveyor belt as the restaurant booths were booked and was busy, this was a big plus for the kids though. Food was really good, great wine, especially the plum wine. Staff were really attentive, we asked about where the fish and Vegan options were sourced from. Brighton has a lot of good restaurants, this is absolutely one of them

First time here group of 4 one of group had been before saying how good it is..Food was excellent lots of choice on conveyor belt BUT customer service mmmmm as someone who works in customer service how disappointed we were the staff one in particular didn’t seem interested at all in being there asked for some cutlery the reply yeah there over other side put 4 spoons down walked off you can’t really eat noodles with spoons seemed as if it was too much and they didn’t seem to want to be there

The location and over setting is very pleasant, we were there mid week for lunch. The staff were super friendly and helpful taking into account my mothers hearing issues and finding us a quiet spot to sit at, and did in fact turn down the music a notch or two which was really appreciated. The drinks were good too. I'm a big fan of Japanese cuisine, which is why we selected this spot, in particular sushi and sashimi. We did orfer from the menu rather than using the conveyor belt ordering the £40 boat option and some tempura prawns. The food was good however I found the salmon and tuna sashimi to be too thickly sliced which I'm sure some would find a challenge. This is where they lost out on 4 or 5 star option, a little more care and attention to these details would be good to see. I am being picky here and I'm sure for most it would go unnoticed. I would still recommend it as I am being picky and it's very much a personal preference.

Our 2nd visit this time with my daughter and her baby and a really great experience again! Service is so warm, friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Pablo who went above and beyond to make us feel super welcome. The restaurant is buzzy and the food is really delicious!! Amazing vegan choices! Also clearly dog friendly which warms my heart! Thanks all, can’t wait to come back when we are back in Brighton :)

I just had the vegan take-away box and it was so very tasty! A proper lunch-time a treat! Thank you!

The best sushi I’ve ever eaten at a good price for the quality of both service and food. Couldn’t recommend more.

Love this place, food is great and service!!

Fish was very fresh. The servers were very helpful and welcoming! The restaurant was also very pretty.

We always loved Moshimo! But now we have it down to a "t" on what to have and this morning I thought .....I must have a lovely lunch ....and off we went ....the spicy chillie miso soup is THE BEST, the sashimi is always so fresh, the veggie tempura is out of the world ......we couldn't finish and all for a good price. We LOVE Moshimo!

Fab service, interesting drinks and no one left hungry.

I think the food has gone downhill a bit - the sushi I had was not that special compared to other places in Brighton. A shame, because the staff and restaurant are both great.

The only time I ever really eat fish, is here. Such lovely food.

We went there fallowing by good opinions and we were not disappointed 🙌 Food was quickly served during the busy night. Wakame salad was sooo delicious 🤤

Moshimo Sushi delivers on all fronts, making it a must-visit destination in Brighton.

The best and most delicious Japanese food in Brighton! Actually almost anywhere . Knocks socks off some well known chains . I highly recommend this restaurant

Very disappointing. Not been for a while. No flavour in the food. Most vegan/plant based, not the real Japanese experience.Just not what it used to be.I feel we won’t be back again. Need to find somewhere else.

We’re Moshimo members and normally have a great time, but this was easily the worst it’s ever been. Took 90 minutes for the food to arrive with minimal apology or warning from staff that it would take that long. Apparently we’re short in the kitchen so don’t blame the staff, but management need to sort their sh*t out sharpish.

Such a nice place to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Beautiful food and atmosphere, and kind and accomodating staff 😊

We had a lovely dinner here this week, the food was superb with lots of vegan options and the service was fantastic. We were welcomed with our two small dogs who were offered water straight away and had a big fuss made of them. The server was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and different dishes, as well as being really chatty and friendly. Our empty plates were taken away regularly, keeping the table open for the lots of small dishes that were arriving. Overall, we had such a nice time and would definitely come back for another special occasion!

Great lunch Will defo be coming back

The food us absolutely delicious. The service was great. Very loud but expected for Brighton on a Saturday 😁

Super friendly staff and lovely atmosphere! It was our first time coming here and Michele was a really friendly server who helped us understand how everything worked. Lovely service as your water is topped up often without asking. We were also sat by the conveyor belt which was amazing as we could do a mixture of menu ordering & picking from the belt! Their membership system also looks great (half price on Mon/Tue) and the membership counts for you and one other person! Definitely will be returning 😊 Edit: Actually so amazing we came the day after writing the original review (kept up my end of the deal 😉)! The variety on the conveyor belt is amazing, and super fresh tasting sushi. Best place for sushi in Brighton!

Wonderful food and service restaurant a bit cold could have done with heating

We had the sushi boat which was excellent. So tasty and good value for money! I would recommend the salmon skin sushi which was my favourite

The Staff was really nice but the dessert made my mouth feel like the sahara. My sushi was wayyy too expensive for what i got and it somehow crunchy. I‘m never gonna eat here again

the staff were extremely lovely and very welcoming, along with the great food! the prawn tempura was especially delicious.

Fantastic food. With a Moshimo membership card, the value is brilliant 👏

Food: not good. Good sushi is all about the rice. The rice here was overcooked, mushy, and flavourless. Too little fish and vegetables were put in each sushi. So all of the dishes we got besides the edamame and miso soup were disappointing. Price: way too high for what you’re getting. Service: not really worth mentioning one way or the other. Ambiance: pretty good. I guess this (and the good mission around sustainability) is why people go here. Reply to "Response from the owner" – No, the servers were very busy and we did not feel comfortable telling them how we felt about the food or the price, and were not asked.

Dog Friendly. Lovely Japanese food. Small dishes available to take off a conveyor belt. Plenty of Vegan, Vegetarian, meat & fish options.

Wow...what a place...vibrant, amazing food, helpful staff...would definitely go again.

First up - the food here is amazing. And the service likewise. But having turned up on the basis of the Moshimo 50% madness deal for members for January it was disappointing to save just £3.82 on £150+ bill. To be fair, it does say to check the terms and conditions on their website (which we clearly failed to do in sufficient detail). The conditions include dropping the 50% discount to 5% for a party of 5 (which seems a bit harsh given it’s 50% for two), and excluding all drinks, desserts, miso soup, soft shell crab etc. We will return at some point as the food is awesome, but the intricate nature of the 50% discount leaves a bit of a bad taste.

Three of us went to Moshimo for lunch. The service was great and the food was excellent. Will certainly be back.

I wasn’t a fan of this place which is shame as I’ve been wanting to go for years. The food is average and the cost is very expensive. The service was average as our food all arrived at different times. My friends had a very poor service as well and i am very upset to hear how they have been treated. Can say I won’t be returning. I also think the businesses replies to the lowest rating reviews are very unprofessional and is a testimony to their values. Edit- thanks for taking the time to leave me that response !! Me and my friends went at the same time they organised it and were treated terribly afterwards. I’ve been wanting to go for years (when I was a student) hence didn’t go due to budget. The food is average no point in bringing it to the attention of your staff. Apologies the whole bill was more than £100 not per person my error. Have a great day!

Could not fault the place. Felt like a more upmarket version of waggamammas with tons of sushi options. We all (fam of 4) ate loads of various dishes all really nice and the bill came to way less than we anticipated. If I lived in Brighton id be here all the time! Highly recommended.

Great sushi great waiters fresh food yum

Good food and good and friendly service

Great. I’m now addicted to plumb wine and sea bass sushi. Thanks Moshimo

Always come here! great for special occasions and casual meals, staff are well trained on allergens and make it easy for those with allergies to eat with no worries. the moshimo card makes it super affordable to come regularly and have high quality sushi

Awful customer service. Their terms and conditions for booking a table are unclear and misleading, had a group dinner and multiple people had food spilt on them by staff, poor attention to diners, we were left waiting almost an hour for food. Then we had an extortionate service charge added to the bill which we had to prove we would like removed, and then finally when we received a surprise additional charge to our bank account a few days later and we called to ask what this was for, we were shouted at down the phone by a rude employee stating that this was a "small family-business" and that its tough and we should just cough up £50. Great look Moshimo. Won't be coming back again.

Brighton institution that’s always reliable. Great veggie/vegan selection and the vegan sashimi is a marvel. How do they do it?? Large menu that’s great for dietary restrictions. Would go back.

Amazing staff, so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and fresh. Great atmosphere, very clean and nicely presented.

Just no. The food was not very good. We had the teriyaki chicken, Korean chicken, pork ribs, all of it was dry and covered in sauce to disguise the dryness, possibly because it’s been sitting out for a while and reheated. The rice was soggy. Only nice dish was the tempura soft shell crab. The only plus side was the service which was friendly and attentive. Everyone else was ordering sushi, we did not because it was cold weather, maybe this is where we went wrong but probably will not come back here.

I have been going here for years and it is the best place for sushi in town! The staff and atmosphere is perfect whether going solo, as a couple of for a works night out and meal.

Always great food, service and value. The service makes it the best mainstream Japanese in Brighton and the Omakase boats are great
