OShio Japanese and Korean Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

Every dish was beautifully plated and absolutely delicious plus lovely service ❤️❤️❤️ 10/10

It's all pre-made and pre-made packages, and they keep pushing us to order and I hate it

No one wants to eat in a racist restaurant！

Authentic Japanese and Korean cuisine, probably the best I’ve ever had in UK, a must-go restaurant in Brighton

Maguro zuke don is the best, been visiting for years and never disappoints.

Needs more space or a new branch in Brighton. It is always packed and difficult to find a table. This tells you how good their food and service are. Also, I desperately need delivery service please.

We had a fantastic meal and the service was great

This is my second time in this restaurant we book a table for 4 at 6:00 p.m. with 2 adult and 2 kids I never want to reveal something negative about this restaurant because I love the food. The only bad experience from this restaurant for me was the only one person who make me feel so upset about this place ( manager or owner?) We arrived 40 minute earlier than ours booking time so I decide go to ask them can I come in early? I wasn't expect I'm allowed to come in earlier so when the guy asks me my name and what time my booking for so I tell him my name and the time. But I guess he probably can't hear what I say so he decided to raise his voice and shout at me and even that I tell him what my name is he still don't understand it so I have to point my name on he booking sheet instead and he just point where I have to go so we just service ourself to the table that is the first pass from this person the second part was at the end I still have a full glass of wine when I say full I mean completely full so my husband design to order another whisky drink with the waiter who looking after our table but it seem like he's been busy with other table so we decide to wait without complaining that how long we have to wait for ( it seemed long time for me) so the same guy who been rude to me earlier decide to come in and put the bill down for our table but my husband still haven't received he whisky drink yet it seemed like you rushing us out but the time that he rushing us out is 7:00 p.m. and we have only 1.30 hour spending time in the restaurant with total amount that we spend is £272.40 with no service charge include but we still give £40 tip I don't know what to say. The food is excellent the service not bad except the guy that I mentioned I would give him 0 star for he attitude I also work as a customer service I know what you feel like when is busy I just want to say please don't ever do that again before you rushing people out you should talk to them or ask them not just put the bill down and walk away.

Lovely atmosphere: decorations beautiful, open kitchen... Feels like a real portal. Food - vegetarian options - was ok but not outstanding. Suspect meat and fish is better. Still a great experience overall and would go back to sample more of an expansive menu

Food was really bad which is a shame as I had wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Had the Chicken curry katsu and the sauce tasted like baby food, my partner had the ramen and couldn’t even eat it is it was that bad - the broth was awful. Also had the soy garlic fried chicken to start and the chicken tasted old even tho the coating was super tasty. The service was fab but I would not recommend eating here.

Very tasty food, although I have had better. We didn’t eat a massive range. So I can’t criticise. It was so busy and we hadn’t booked ahead and ate outside. Next time we will try some dishes and maybe book ahead.

Hands down the best meal I had in Brighton. Incredible food!

Fantastic food, great service !

Best Korean + Japanese food in Brighton ♥️

Restaurant is so popular is hard to get a table, so partner and I got take out instead. Really delicious high quality food, would recommend. Inside atmosphere looked great so was a shame there was no tables left but very happy with the takeout.

Just average, a restaurant that is so popular, those people have never eaten delicious Japanese food or have never been to Japan.

This seems like a very popular eaterie. Popular Korean dishes selection, we were pretty famished so really looking forward to eating this. I had beef bulgogi, which is always one of my favorite Korean dishes, which was lovely and tender, would be even nicer with kimchi on the side but didn't get any veg on the side. Tried the green tea latte, lovely! The atmosphere was good, nice seeing everyone enjoying their feed. Despite the more compact space it felt quite cosy.

Food, server and ambience were great. Best Japanese and Korean resto in Brighton. It’s just that the ‘manager’ told us to leave right away after two hours of staying in the restaurant. We know we’re booked from 6:45pm-8:30pm.We informed staff that one of our friend will gonna be late because she came from duty. She’s not done eating yet and one of our friend wanted to order Teokbokki but said not allowed anymore as we stayed 2 hours. That time there were still vacant table and no other customer awaiting outside for table. Just a little consideration, not to be limited by time as we’re ordering enough food for people as well.

Tasty food. Value for money. Friendly staff. A must visit.

Absolutely fantastic variety of sashimi here! Lovely food and great service. Highly recommend.

Amazing Japanese and Korean place in Brighton! We got the Pork Kimchi stew, Tonkotsu Ramen and Sushi selection and everything was really tasty (not very spicy as well). Highly recommend 😊

literally the best food ever !! we had an issue with a stranger sat outside and staff couldn’t be lovelier and more helpful and service was amazing, highly recommend the soft shell sushi aswell, defo will be coming back tysm <3

Simply the best Japanese down south. Eel is properly grilled. The sashimi set is out of this world especially the squid with a touch of yuzu. Very good value as well.

Sushi are so average (similar to what you find everywhere) and service was slow!

Had tasty mix of the Japanese and Korean menus. Would recommend - it was a little less spicy than we expected (but still very good). Order came out in no particular order - was a bit odd to end with sashimi but my kids gave it a good go nevertheless. Would advise booking - we walked in and got the last unreserved table, but others turned away.

Absolutely lovely restaurant. Amazing food and wonderful friendly and attentive service. Can't wait to go back and try other items on their very extensive menu!

Very yummy food. Quick service the restaurant has a very good vibes

oshio gives you more bang for your buck, used to go here every weekend when i was in brighton. personally i like the sashimi platter, salmon chazuke and yaki udon.

It can get quite busy but it’s in general poggers, best Japanese food I’ve ever had in UK, would highly recommend chirashi rice, white prawn sushi and honey soy sauce chicken

We’ve now been twice and fallen in love with O’Shio! The vibe is authentic and the food is absolutely wonderful! The service is on point and super friendly. We’ll be back!

The food is amazing, the kimchi pancake can be a bit oily sometimes but still tastes great. I've eaten here 6 times now taken a few friends there and would recommend to anyone. Prices are very reasonable and great value.

Love it. You just hot yo check it out...you will be back....we come every time we are in Brighton. Enjoy.

Some excellent food, though the sushi is average and over-priced. Friendly staff, but the supercilious floor manager was very passive-aggressive about getting us out at the end of the meal, even though we had been there for less than an hour.

Lovely place for special occasions, like birthdays, celebrations etc, but also nice to pop in for a casual meal. Can be hard to get a seat due to how popular it is, but that’s just a testament to how good the food is!

Yummy food and excellent service. Wonderful flavours. We had different varieties of jjigae and all were yum. Hope I get the chance to go back again. Absolutely loved.

食物是不错的，其他服务员都很不错。那个看起来像老板的亚洲人存在种族歧视。对几桌亚洲人很不屑，在我们还在吃饭的时候问我们吃完了没有。很不好的体验。很是失望

Friendly atmosphere, great food, and a great experience. Portions are perfect. I will go again.

This IS the best Japanese & Korean Cuisine in Brighton. I even go far to say best outside London! Food standard and quality always high. Great service. Super friendly seevice, always welcoming evening when they're busy. Just excellent.

Very nice sushi & sashimi. If desired, also with extra ginger and wasabi. The service is very friendly and attentive.

Superb food and service. Many thanks.

Really good authentic Japanese food 👌.

I had suspicion it may not be authentic because they offer both Japanese and Korean food but the food exceeded my expectation. Great service. The waiter noticed a customer dropped their chopstick immediately and offered a new pair while he was cleaning a different table. On food, I ordered salmon and salmon roe don. I'll give it a 8 out of 10, you can taste they marinated the fish and salmon roe in both mirin and soy sauce. The only thing lacking might be the soy sauce used, it was not light enough and there may lack some fish stock to dilute the bitter taste of soy sauce. not 100% authentic, but already very good and reasonable price.

Restaurant located at the beginning of the Lanes, very characteristic interior. Truly excellent and fast service, we were served after 10/15 minutes of all the dishes we had ordered. Exceptional udon, very good sushi but not a 10. Overall very good Japanese restaurant and certainly in the top 3 in Brighton. Prices now good average in Brighton. Advised

Fantastic food, fitted two of us in without a booking, great service - was fully stuffed from what we ordered. Looking forward to going again

Sublime experience for the tastebuds

Incredible O-toro. Incredible food. Eat here!!!

Lovely authentic food with a great variety of protein.

One of the best Japanese I’ve had in England! Super good quality sashimi and good portion size. It is slightly expensive but worth it!

Amazingly delicious Korean dishes & lovely staff. Love the whole layout, decor & bar area. Will definitely be coming back for more again.

Very good japanese/korean food. Nice environment, near the Lanes. We will definitely come back!

This is the best food I’ve tried in Brighton(lived here 21 years) everything I had was the best version of the thing I ate, also really nice staff 10/10

Good food but slightly expensive, especially the sushi. The Korean food was better than the Japanese. Sushi were tiny for the price.

Best food but worst service. We showed up ten min before the booked slot but we were told “you should come on time”. And none even smiled to us during the whole two hours, and they even pushed us to pay for the bills and leave to give the table to next four guests? In summary, It’s the opposite of warmth.

Excellent meal at great prices....I'm coming back soon for more!

We were deeply disappointed by this restaurant. I came with a group of 10 uni mates, and we were really excited to enjoy good food yet got treated really poorly. The moment we entered the restaurant, we were told to stop walking and wait outside just because we had luggages with us. We were also told on the phone that we can eat for 1.5 hours, but after 40 minutes the waiter started rushing us and sent 3 different staff to rush us in the span of 5 minutes. We haven’t even finished eating our food, and there was nobody waiting outside for the table. We felt as though we were poorly treated with disrespect solely due to us being younger students. Food was good but the disrespect truly ruined the entire experience.

Perfect for a quick lunch - bento boxes are wonderful!

Delicious food! So much on the table and we had tteokbokki which came out later. Friendly staff. Will be going back!

Great authentic food. Very busy and full of lots of happy regulars.

The food, atmosphere and service was excellent. The tteokbokki was very authentic and reminded us of the ones we ate in Korea. We highly recommend and we will back to eat again soon!

The cuisine was good, however the Japanese manager (or owner) with bald head glasses provided poor service. I went to a restaurant with a friend two days ago, and everything was OK until we finished the meal. I paid the money with my card, but the waiter approached me gently and asked whether I was sure I had paid the amount. I showed him the bank app and said that I had been charged and that it should have been paid. However, their Japanese manager clearly did not trust me for no reason and wanted me to pay again. I informed him that the problem occurred on their merchant machine, I had been charged, and the bank had already transferred the funds to them; there was nothing I could do about it. But this strange and unpleasant man insisted I did not pay. I didn't want to get in trouble so I paid the second time in front of him, but nothing changed except that I was charged again. Then the most ludicrous thing happened: he asked me to pay a third time! I can't believe it happened; it's the first time I've been treated as a liar in the UK, and it came from a Japanese?! I have to decline him because there is no reason why I should pay my lunch bill for three times. And he still didn't believe me till I left after being forced to stay there for 20 minutes. And I still haven't received an apology from the impolite Japanese till now. Personally, I will never step into this place again, and I will inform my surroundings about how I was treated here so that they do not have to deal with that ridiculous individual.

I always drop in for a meal when in Brighton for work. Food and service is excellent and prices are reasonable. The Soondubu Jigae tonight was amazing.

I've been there many times and the food is great. I would say O'Shio is a great place for Korean/Japanese food in Brighton.

The service was horrible and the staff was rude. Maybe she is hearing impaired because she serve the wrong meal and treat the customer poorly :(

The best sushi place in Brighton. Highly recommended.

Authentic Japanese food! What surprises me is that there is no service charge compared to London's restaurants.

What an amazing experience! The amount of options of Korean and Japanese food on their menu is incredible. The atmosphere was lively as the restaurant is small, it felt so personal. All our food was 10/10..just want to go back to eat more!

Condescending server, won’t consider coming here again.

Pleasant little restaurant, fairly broad menu and good service. Food was of a good standard, I would go again.

I went there as soon as it opened at 5 o'clock, and it seemed to be a very popular place, so it filled up quickly after a few minutes. They seem to be accepting group reservations well. I ordered kimchi stew and it was really delicious. It was nice that it came with rice too.

Maitre'd juggled more reservations than tables with great charm. Amazing food (ordered far far far too much), great service and real buzz

Had a reservation last night. Can’t tell you how enjoyable this food is! We had gyoza, takoyaki, a sushi platter, ramen with a side of kimchi. Washed down with a couple of bottles of Asahi! If you like Japanese or Korean food. Come here.

Great Sushi, great Spicy Korean Squid, good hotpots and noodles...

We love their *Bento* , very original!! *Tempura* and *vegetable gyoza*🥟 both well made ✔️

The best quality, authentic, fresh, and wonderfully presented sushi among other dishes. Must visit for anyone who wishes to dine out in Brighton. Special mention - white prawn sushi roll

I called them on Wednesday to book a table for 4 for this Saturday. We confirmed 3 times over the phone call it was for this Saturday. So I shows up with my family but then they can’t find my booking at all. They then asked me to show them the booking text which I did. It turn out the lady booked for next month. They have not apologized at all but blame on me didn’t check the confirmation text message. The service inside is just terrible.

Perfect for a casual night, very tasty, really amazing service- we had prawn tempura, fried chicken, salmon and tuna maki- the rice bowls look delicious too !

Best food in Brighton. Thank you!

Absolutely sensational lunch. The very best of Japanese and Korean food. Lovely staff. Almost impossible to choose from fab menu

Absolutely delicious, I find it very hard to find uni in England but maybe it’s just I don’t live in London or big city. This is fabulous ❤️❤️❤️

스시와 우동을 먹었어요. 스시는 나쁘지 않았고 우동은 따뜻하고 굉장히 맛있었어요! 음식이 조금 느리게 나오긴 하지만 조금만 기다리면 훌륭한 식사를 할 수 있어요. 사장님은 한국분이신데 친절하세요^^

Really great Asian food in the heart of Brighton. Everything we tried was really well made. Service is very good. Would recommend.

Delicious food, very busy place, you can see that it’s really good by how many native people were there. Will come back again for sure!

This place exists purely on its past glory! Food is nothing special, but the customer service is absolutely shocking! I even saw customers who were 5 mins late for their reservations and told them to leave. They need to work on their communication skills, as orders were getting mixed up!

This place hits the spot!! I had the eel roll, the sweet soy fried chicken and steamed rice and every bite was delicious. The service is great, everyone is so nice and helpful. The restaurant itself is cozy and nicely decorated. This is definitely going to be one of my Brighton go to's!

Great food with good quality. Finally found a good Japanese place in Brighton

Hands down our favourite restaurant in Brighton, anytime we go anywhere else we regret it as we are so disappointed and wish we had gone to O’Shio instead. Amazing fresh delicious food, the best Korean fried chicken wings in Brighton, possibly the UK (we have tried a lot!). Sushi is incredible too. Can’t wait to come back again and again.

Great food would come back again

Charming restaurant with good Korean dishes and pleasant wait staff. Recommended

O’Shio is a great spot! The location is superb and the food and service is even better. There’s a wide selection here and you’d think having both Korean and Japanese would reduce the quality for each but that wasn’t the case. The Kimchi Stew was a particular highlight. Really good tempura too.

I have been to this restaurant serval times and I was always amazed by their food.

Everything is amazingly you cannot go wrong. If you think you'll like something you probably will. Highly recommend sweet soy fried chicken

The food was good but waited a bit long, I guessed it was worth it 😅😅😅 Definitely fell in love with their matcha ice cream.

Hotpot is great, matcha latte is pre made, too sweet. Tempura is not crispy enough. A bit over priced

我和我的朋友，在晚餐时间段来到了家店里，即使是晚上8点，店里人员依旧非常多，服务员似乎忙不过来了，我们四个人一共吃了100磅，炸鸡翅和海鲜饭都非常美味。

food was tasty, and service was good (though felt a little rushed). i really appreciated that the menu stated which vegetarian dishes had fish sauce in them

Oshio is amazing! One of my favourite places to eat, ever! Incredible sushi, lovely and friendly staff and great atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone.

Love to have Japanese food here, especially raw tuna fish and seafood sashimi, 100% recommend to come, but need booking in advance

Great food, one of the best sushi we ever had

came alone for the dinner with pre-booked table for 2 people(cuz the minimum number for online pre-booking is 2). The waiter said it’s “cheating”!!And he kept annoying me while I was trying to finish my meal. No respect and courtesy for customers at all!!! Hope this fxxking place could be shut down soon!!!!

Book before you go. We were lucky. Sat at the bar.
