Sushi Garden in Brighton and Hove

Just too unreliable to recommend. I've had a couple of decent, reasonably priced meals here but, more often than not, have had to wait nearly an hour from ordering for my food to arrive. When it finally comes, it's often been bland and unappetising. The fact that the floors, tables and most surfaces are covered in a rather unpleasant sticky substance does not help matters. Despite wanting for it to improve, I'm giving up on this place. There are so many better, more authentic restaurants, serving decent Japanese and Korean style food, in Brighton.

The restaurant was romantic and cozy. The staff was very nice. For drinks I got mugi-cha (barely tea) and my bf got the sake tasting (3 different types:unfiltered, hot and cold). For mains we both got the teriyaki eel on rice which was really good. We also got agedashi tofu and takoyaki for a little thing to share. We also both got maki sushi (squid and avocado & salmon). The food was amazing. Would come back for sure as they also have lunch deal bento box!

Fresh delicious fish. Sat on the bar and got the most amazing service, the chef was brilliant and even gave us a meal on the house. 5 star

Delicious food, well priced, close to the promenade. Welcoming staff. Would most definitely recommend. Will visit again next time we are in Brighton.

We did not book, but you may want to. We made sure to get to the restaurant shortly after it opened on Wednesday evening. It's small, bijoux and charming. We ordered a selection of sushi, which is made fresh to order, so there was a bit of a wait. When it arrived we were impressed. We have eaten sushi in many countries and Sushi Garden packed a punch. The service was charming and the Maitre-D made sure we were looked after. Great all round and worth trying.

Loved the food. Really stood out for its authentic taste. Lots of vegetarian options and good list of drinks too! The quantity is less for its price! Very sweet staff and wonderful ambience!

The most authentic Japanese flavour you can have in the UK! I’ve been to Japan twice!

We took the lunch deal and it was good value for money. Tasty and authentic food. Just the service could be faster. The atmosphere inside is nice.

Dined in at 10pm on a Friday night. They were very accommodating and customer service was top notch. The most authentic Japanese food I have ever tasted in the UK!!! The tonkatsu ramen was rich and milky! Katsu was well cooked. Thin layer of breading but very tasty and tender! Highly suggested!

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, so I proposed to my boyfriend to go there this evening, we were supposed to celebrate an event. It was awful, they took the order after more than 20 minutes, they brought us the drinks after more than 30 minutes. We ate after 40 minutes. They ruined our evening. The food was not bad but overpriced and the sushi had little fish and it was very small. We won't be back.

Lots of choice, very good music and a simply beautiful restaurant!

Lovely sushi here. Bento box packed with sashimi, nigiri and rolls. Lots of flavor

Really lovely little gem in the heart of Brighton. All food was authentic, prepared fresh and so delicious and the service was also good. Can't wait to go back!

What an amazing find. Tucked away down a side road from the beach, this Japanese restaurant was sensational. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and the food was so good. That was some of the best sushi I have tried and the tempura was out of this world. We will absolutely be coming back here when we return to Brighton.

A fab Japanese place. Really friendly and incredible well made food. Unfussy and honest. Will definitely go back. The double shrimp rolls were perfect. Thank you

Delicious ramen, really nice vibe with relaxing Ghibli music...perfect!

Great quality sushi, worth the price. The chef even gave me an extra sushi on the house, so nice.

It was very delicious. Definitely worth a visit. Good value for money, definitely visit.

Lovely food lovely drinks. Particularly like the gyoza and the ramune

This is a lovely, cozy restaurant not far from the seafront. Our server was so nice, welcoming, and attentive. I was highly impressed with the Chef’s special dessert, a creative spin on tiramisu that was really good! If you’re nearby, I highly recommend visiting!

Excellent, refined, very smiling and friendly staff! A pleasant moment that transported us to Japan ☺️

The food was delicious and tasted very fresh. We really enjoyed the tuna and salmon tartare. We had the sashimi bibimbap and chicken katsu curry, both were amazing. Everything was reaasonably priced. Lovely decor inside the restaurant. The staff were very attentive

Wow… I wanted to celebrate selling my first piece of art by taking myself on a date and Sushi Garden was the total perfect place for this!!! The atmosphere was so calming and peaceful and the food was so flavoursome, varied and satisfying! I had the salmon bento box and usually I’m not bothered about salad but their salad with the avocado had such a tasty sauce on it that I loved it! So fresh! And the ginseng tea is a must! Healing properties and delicious. Loved warm welcome from staff. Il definitely tell all my friends about here :))) I came later in the evening as it’s open until late so it was not so busy :) Happy and satisfied :)

Fantastic experience. Service was lovely and prompt, food was fresh and delicious. Excellent vegan selection which my girlfriend and I appreciated.

This is the best Japanese meal I have had outside Japan, the staff were brilliant and very good, the food was excellent. Staff liked that we spoke a little Japanese with them, we even had complimentary green tea brought to us. The outside of the building looked tired but I'm so glad we went in. Highly recommend going, best thing about Brighton is this place.

Amazing Food, amazing cervice, captivating authentic atmosphere, felt like I was In Japan than down a road in Brighton

Nice but not worth the price range

Ordered to takeaway in restaurant, was sat down and brought water, ramen was packaged so well, staff were incredibly friendly 👌

Raman is good;) there are a lot of choices of tea. I had genseng tea and it’s nice.

The service was a bit disorganized and took a long time to receive the order. The wait for food also took longer. The contents of the California Rolls weren't proportionately right and the taste was therefore a bit one-sided, and the ramen was also very bland.

Food was nice and tasty but one BUT main dish was served first and starter after 5min 🥲

Lovely place, great quality sushi and service was so lovely! would recommend 🍣🍣🍣

Amazing & fresh sushi in Brighton at very reasonable prices! We really needed to end our trip on a high note and this sushi restaurant really made sure of it. Super friendly and funny server.

Lovely restaurant. Delicious Japanese food. The noodle soup sets are particularly nice. Highly recommended.

Great food and great service, the best sushi we’ve ever had! We don’t live locally but will be back.

Came here after running the marathon. Food and service was excellent!

Perfect place in every way - a must in Brighton!

Yet another fab evening in the Garden.

Absolutely insane it tastes amazing and prices are perfect 👌 I recommend

Had an excellent sushi lunch yesterday...including 3 choice sake. Thank you

Everything was spot on! The food, the service, the lovely and friendly staff, the decoration, everything! Amazing place

This place is my regular for the last 14 years. Possibly only Japanese restaurant that brings in specialy caught Bluefin Fatty Tuna to let their customers try. Love it as always+

Beautiful spot. Lovely atmosphere, wonderful service and delicious food. Good value to boot.

Went to Sushi Garden for the first time and I'm so impressed with how authentic the place feels. Very warm and friendly staff. They accomodated our requests to the best of their abilities and the food was just divine. Coming from an Asian country with an abundance of authentic Japanese food, not a lot of places come close but this place certainly delivered. Must try- rolling in the sushi

We had the udon set and the Katsu set and it was amazing. The katsu set included katsu chicken and a delicious curry sauce and miso soup as well as sticky rice and pickles. The customer service was excellent and overall a great place to eat.

The Sushi Garden in Brighton is a culinary haven, with m amazing sushi and an absolutely must not miss chef's special. The attention to detail in each dish is evident, show the chef's skill and creativity. What's equally impressive is the exceptional value for money—experiencing such quality at a reasonable price is a rare find. Sushi enthusiasts, don't miss out on this delightful combination of taste and affordability!

The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious. Pork cutlet is crispy and sushi is fresh. I want to visit again. It was more delicious than the sushi I ate in Japan.

“London London” and “Creamy Salmon” two of the best sushis I have ever EVER ate in my life. The staff was so lovely and kind! I will definitely be coming here again.

Friendly staff, good service quality. However, the menu is not rich.

Great food. The sets are excellent value.

Delicious japanese food. I recommend the small plates and starters but mostly the sashimi. The fish is always fresh and incredibly good.

The waiters were very polite and provide a quick service. The food was full of flavour and well worth the price. The interior of the restaurant was well presented and the music being played really tied the whole place together to provide a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

Great place with amazing staff! The food is 10/10 and such good value for money, especially the lunch menu. Would recommend to anyone!

Simple place yet serves great food!

Best sushi place in Brighton. Quality food with a good variety on the menu, not the cheapest but you definitely get what you pay for. A nice quiet environment to spend the evening with your partner, enjoying great food with amazing service. Puts to shame most other sushi joints in Brighton.

We had both starters and sushi! It was amazing! Definitely come again. I really like the raw octopus with wasabi.

Wonderful chicken katsu! Unfortunately we were a bit short on time so the visit got stressed as the food preparation took quite a while and we did inform the staff about our time limitations.

Love this place, did and service are great but you might consider it a tad expensive

Excellent food and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My youngest son said "BEST SUSHI EVER" excitedly.

Excellent restaurant. We have been coming for years and the food is always delicious. We had their lunch menu option today which was great value.

Love ❤️ this place. Food amazing, people kind, welcoming, clean and comfy. 👍

I was very impressed with this place. I know Japan well and have a lot of experience of authentic Japanese food. The interior design is very similar to places I have eaten in in Kyōto, Tōkyō and Fukuoka and the staff are Japanese. The service is polite, reserved and efficient (again like Japan) and the food is really excellent. I had two types of nigiri sushi (tuna and yellowtail), mixed tempura (superb and served with delicious tentsuyu), pickles and eel donburi. The kabayaki eels with caramelised tare were really delicious and perfectly cooked. There is also an impressive selection of sake, both regular and premiums (including junmai daiginjo sakes) too. If you know how Japanese food should be I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was absolutely delicious! We all loved it, and that says something because we all are quite picky eaters and these meals satisfied us with a plus. From the diversity in the bento to the little things like just mochi. We had the katsu bento, salmon Bento and lastly the chicken teriyaki. All the flavours were beautiful, so diverse and so delicious. Safe to say, that this is my favourite restaurant in the world so far. We’ve been to many countries, even more restaurants so we are Have taste and know what is good and what is not. So thank you so much for this experience for our tastebuds.

The service was prompt and both staff and chef were very polite and friendly. There was a big party going on when we arrived without reservations. After we were seated, the chef came to inform us orders may take up to 45 minutes as they are busy serving the party. We do not mind the wait and happy if they could serve us drinks and appetizers while we wait. They promptly did and mains did not take long too. Food is very good. Fish and seafood (sushi) was fresh. Presentation was simple. The broth of the udon was flavorful.

Great food and service, highly recommended for good quality sushi. Recommend the Ika Mayo

Fantastic! Food, drinks, and service were amazing, will definitely be back.

Stopped here when looking for something for tea on a Thursday evening when working away in Brighton. Walked past and as a big fan of Japanese cuisine I decided I'd try here. I wasn't disappointed. The menu had lots of variety and interesting things which I would have loved to try, but the work budget restricted me! I decided to go for some Spicy Tuna Maki sushi, some Chicken Gyōza and a fabulous Salmon Teriyaki (sorry no photo) , but if you get the chance opt for this dish. Nice vibe in the restaurant and a great Saki menu and Sapporo Beer give it a great Japanese feel. The decor is great and the staff really friendly and helpful. I've already recommended to my wife who is down here in a few weeks with her work. Will definitely come again

We were looking for an open restaurant after seeing a show, which is quite limited after 10pm. Sushi Garden was serving until 10:30 so we decided to give it a go. The staff were all really friendly and the food was freshly prepared and all tasted amazing! I would definitely recommend Sushi Garden to anyone looking for some tasty Sushi in Brighton.

Lovely friendly service, but I found the sushi to be on the dry side rice wise and 8 pieces for £23 was over priced.

Love the food. The atmosphere was so good. When for a date there. It was so nice

Tasty food. Serves a selection of sushi and other Japanese style food. I was feeling adventurous and went for something from the specials menu. Friendly and unfussed service.

This used to be one of our favourite Japanese restaurants in Brighton, now, sadly it could be the worst. We ordered takeaway, 18 pieces of Sushi, which turned up tiny & badly prepared, the rice practically fell apart on the chop stick, very amateur. Not sure what has gone wrong, won’t be back.

Wonderful food, lovely environment and great service. We really enjoyed our meal here. We had a mix of hot and cold food. Good value.

a peaceful and authentic sushi place with amazing sushi and gluten free soy sauce , they are very accommodating for anyone with an allergy to gluten. had a relaxing atmosphere and the restaurant is beautiful , with good service

A delicious and affordable lunch menu, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The sushi was superb, made by a beautiful young chef. I have been here many times and have always been impressed.

Service a bit slow but once you grab someone's attention then all great!

Best sushi I've had in brighton thus far

Absolutely gorgeous sushi restaurant me and my partner visited this weekend. The food was delicious, the ambience was relaxed and the staff were super friendly. Would recommend!

This is by far one of the best Japanese restaurants in Brighton! New ones have popped up over the years, but the flavor is just as unique as they were years ago! Enjoy the friendly atmosphere, the great food, and a good time! I could not recommend it more!

I was one time and I came back with my friends. Delicious food, good service and nice place.

I was looking for a japnese restaurant that served Pork Katsudon and checked their menu via google maps and was disappointed to when we arrived that the did not have Pork Katsudon, they had Pork Katsu which is a very different dish. I ordered the pork katsu hoping my craving would be satisfied but I was still disappointed because the dish is dry despite the katsu sauce served with it. We ordered other dishes: Takoyaki, Chef's Teardrop (salmon lover roll), and Spider Roll. The Takoyaki was nothing special, it tasted like the frozen takoyaki we buy at asian supermarkets. The Chef's teardrop tasted wonderful as I am a salmon lover but I wish it had more rice and was bigger. The winning dish for me is the Spider Roll! The batter and seasoning of the soft shell crab was amazing! We are not locals and this is our first time dining here, and there is a small chance we will come back as they do not serve my favourite dish: Pork Katsudon. Service is amazing, food was served in good time and the staff are very friendly and professional. I loved the atmosphere and decors, felt authentically Japanese. They had spacious toilets for men and women with a baby changing area but not disabled friendly as it was downstairs.

Really great Sushi with brilliant atmosphere

Wonderful sushi place with great atmosphere, and staff you can tell are passionate about Japanese quinine. Highly recommend!

First time in Brighton and visiting this place, nice welcome good service definitely high quality sushi at good prices. Will be back for sure.

Had a lovely early dinner at this lovely restaurant, a ginger cocktail to start followed by California roll and the prawn tempura was cooked to perfection compliments to the chef ! & all was so delicious and service was excellent. We will be back .

What can i say…. a welcoming friendly and amazing restaurant. Food was absolutely delicious, if you are planning to go try the Ika Mayo, one of my favourites. The service from the staff was exceptional and the food came really quickly and was fresh. Lots of choices for food, there is something for everyone. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Will be coming back very soon, thankyou Sushi Garden!

Good service lovely meal and reasonable priced

I used to come here all the time when I lived in Brighton, I have been here twice in the last month, gladly making the 20mile trip to get here. The restaurant is very cosy, has a wonderful atmosphere, the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. I'm so in love with the food here, I love the traditional dishes like the sashimi, and I like their own creations, like the London London and the Brighton, it has an air of what the Japanese did when they settled in the United States, creating a fusion style that suited the tastes in that location. Anyone who appreciates good food with quality ingredients definitely give this restaurant a try, many thanks to all the staff for a wonderful evening as always 🍣🍤🍶🍜🍱 🇯🇵🙏

Amazing Sushi in Brighton! Excellent food 👍👍

We went early on a Friday night and the place was nearly empty. The food was all tasty and we enjoyed it. The service was friendly and helpful if a little tired. The food came punctually. As vegetarians we had most of the options available to us on the extensive menu which was fine for a first visit but is not very motivating for a return visit since we would just be repeating the same meal.

Delicious freshly made sushi. Teriyaki salmon was the best I’ve had in a long time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

We have not visited a Japanese restaurant before so we’re a little apprehensive. However waiter was very helpful and pointed us to dishes on the menu. Very tasty fresh food made by the chef in front of customers. He personally greeted and thanked everyone when leaving. We had booked this as it was near to the hotel we were staying in. Well worth a visit.

Very good sushi rolls and yaki udon noodles. The ingredients are evidently of a very high quality and it shows - there's also a wide variety of options on the menu which we will come back to try! There is a cozy overall atmosphere and friendly service.

A Prebooked family of 7 I accept that we were a little late ( just under 15 minutes) but we did have the courtesy to telephone to warn them in advance That was about the last courtesy that was extended. No welcome when we arrived and almost grudgingly given menus. No waiter to take drinks order whist we looked at the menus so ultimate we ordered drinks and food at the same time (4 starters to share and 7 main courses). The drinks arrived after an acceptable delay The starters arrived one after the other with almost a ten minute delay between each of the 4!!! We then waited for our main courses 2 then arrived. They had almost been finished when the sushi chef behind the counter ( not a waiter) asked if we were waiting for further dishes ! One more dish arrived and was virtually finished before 3 more arrived with the final dish arriving 45 minutes after the first Meanwhile other diners who had ordered after us had been served with their food in one case each of 2 courses During our wait we asked 3 times what the problem was On the first occasion it was some 10 minutes after the first 2 main dishes had arrived and a dismissive “ sorry” another 10 minutes actually nearer 50 by the time the final dish arrived. No unsolicited apology whatsoever A grudging apology given when pointing out the huge delay problem and asking for an explanation I then asked for the bill The only thing to arrive promptly That evening I sent an email to the restaurant giving them an opportunity to explain what had gone wrong Silence Dining out with a family is a shred experience of food and service One without the other and the experience becomes a disappointment Oh by the way the food apart from the beef which was chewy fatty and full of gristle was acceptable

Me and my gf popped in for a last minute bite after a different restaurant (now closed) fell through. Walking in felt almost like I stepped into a Japanese restaurant in Japan, the only difference is that I was in the middle of Brighton. The sushi was fresh, there was clearly a sprinkling of love in the various dishes. We got a small selection, and honestly the price was decent and I was super satisfied. Unfortunately at the time the card machine was broken, but it was only a minor issue - I had cash but not enough for a delicious feast, so we had to make sure to spend just enough. I could have had more! The service was excellent, served in a timely manor but not too quick. I’ll definitely go back!

We have been regular customers for years eating in the restaurant and takeaway. Not any more! Tonight we ordered our usual Bento boxes. ( Now over £20 each) No more Tempura? We consider the bento box concept has been overlooked. . It’s a pity. After more than 10 years of regular purchases, we’ve just had our last. The box has been prepared with making it quick to assemble rather than the flavour within.

I visited for lunch with a friend . Much of our order was wrong . Firstly we asked for the "Set Lunch " , which is on the restaurant's website and was our primary reason for visiting . We also ordered 3 side dishes , Jasmin tea, a cold green tea soft drink and water . The water never came Hot green tea was served instead of the soft drink ( even though the waitress read back the order and I corrected her when she said green tea ) The " Lunch set " which we had ordered , when we enquired when the rest would arrive , we were told that they no longer offer the set lunch ( even though it is on their website ) - why wasn't that advised at time of ordering ? Only the main choice from " set " arrived . Had we known that we, would have ordered differently . We were told " the website needs updating " That doesn't help guests ! They should be made aware of changes . The prices also are very different from the website . For example the plain Veg Udon ( which is what I was served ) on the website is £8.50 , I was charged £11 . I'd ordered the spicy vegetable Udon noodles - No spice and very bland . When I pointed this out , I was offered chilli oil and a bottle of dried chill flakes . My friend's Pork Katsu was v bland and served with a strange dipping sauce More like a schnitzel with grated white cabbage and v bland rice , definitely not a Katsu - he's had loads . The side dishes , tempura soft shelled crab and the wakame salad were lovely , The cucumber salmon skin kimchi not so . The fish skin was "wangy" and like cardboard - fish skin needs to be crispy , the kimchi was over salted and burnt you tongue , through saltiness. I'd also like to point out , that I'd originally booked via the website . When I hadn't received confirmation by the day before , I rang . The person I spoke to didn't seem to understand / have an idea of what I was talking about . When we arrived , we were treated as walk-ins , which wasn't a problem , as there were only two other tables occupied . The waitress was very pleasant , however I don't know where the issues with our order happened / failed . This was the first time in over 8 years that I didn't leave a tip. I know how hard it can be in hospitality , but a tip is appreciation and acknowledgement . There were too many errors and lack of acknowledgement here. To sum up , if you want an East Asian meal in that area of Brighton , walk 2 mins down the road towards the sea to The China Garden , We visited two weeks before and had amazing food and service for the same price . No contest !

I come down from London to Brighton once a year and always visit this restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and the food is really good and the staff are friendly and efficient.

This used to be our favourite sushi restaurant. We recommended it to friends. NOT ANYMORE. Tonight we first looked at the menu online and thought we’d go in to take away our favourite items — two nigiri bento boxes. Arriving in the restaurant we were told they “don’t do the bento box after 6.30” (we’ve only ever been for dinner and it was always available). In fact they didn’t do them at all. They are still on the website, which staff explained they hadn’t got round to updating. So beware - the website is out of date… All they could offer was their “new” bento box which had none of the variety (sushi, tempura, salads, etc) of the old ones and an increase of price from £14.50 to £21.50 — a 50% increase! The staff — including the chef—were rude as well. It was our favourite, but we’ll never go back.

Had lunch here and was very pleased with the quality of the sushi. The service was good and efficient, although it was a quiet afternoon. One odd thing, and where I'd have to agree with a recent negative review, is that floor and tables were...
