The best restaurants serving Japanese food in Brighton and Hove South East

Only recently discovered this little gem. It's one of the pop up style food stalls in the Open Market and the food is amazing. you must try it!

I'd been wanting to try BPK for a while and it did not disappoint. The cocktails were delicious the food was delicious and guess what?! The desserts were delicious!! I left feeling very full, but very happy. Would highly recommend.

It was our first time trying out food on this restaurant. Our first impression was good as we looked at different options on the menue. When we received our food, my husband had ordered rice with different vegetables on it and as he expected food to be served warm, it come slightly cold, and he went to ask if it can be warmed up slightly. The lady behind the counter said that they do not have microwave and in fact she said the food is always kept on the room temperature. This made me slightly worried as restaurant serves rice and seaweed wrap that should not be kept out of fridge. However I did not think of it much at the time and carried on enjoying our meal. Same night after my meal I started to feel unwell and was up all night being nauseas and vomiting. There was noughing else that could have caused it but the food I ate there. It was so unpleasant experience that I promised to myself I would never eat there and be extra cautious when eating out next time.

Eaten here many times, always delicious! It has the golden trio of being delicious, healthy and not too expensive! The tacos are absolutely lush and an absolute bargain! The poke bowls are the best in Brighton and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Fresh vibrant flavours whilst also feeling decadent, a rare combo!

Very disappointing meal. This restaurant started out very well in 2023-24 but seems to have gone downhill. The service was chaotic, the food second rate with non fresh and cheap ingrediants, the bill was wrong and overall this is a poorly run restaurant. We thought we were going to have a nice meal, but this was a cheap noodle joint with stale sushi. Plus queues of delivery drivers, with bags sitting and waiting for them for longer than seemed to make any qualitative sense. Avoid at all costs.

Don't go here if you want romantic or if you want to dress up or you want space, what you get though is fantastic food, the cauliflower, tofu, chicken breast, chicken skins, aubergine etc all lip smacking delicious 😋 lots of small plates so you can sample lots of dishes, great service and a great buzz, not the cheapest night out, but absolutely worth it. If you are thinking about going on a Friday or Saturday, then you need to look a month to 2 months ahead. The only issue was trying to book online for the first time, a painful experience 😫

My fiancé and I have visited the cafe twice now for afternoon tea, a Studio Ghibli themed one and a Valentines one, and it is such a great experience! We have to travel nearly an hour to get there but it is 100% worth it! The food is amazing, the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is so peaceful. I would highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back soon!

Para ser honesto la comida era realmente promedio, pensé que se suponía que era bueno, sin duda por los precios increíbles, pero no me impresionó. la sopa de miso sabía viejo y no estaba lo suficientemente caliente. Mi esposa y yo no apreciamos cómo se estaba hablando con el servidor, creó una mala vibra, es solo un lugar pequeño y se puede escuchar todo lo que está pasando. No está bien, me sentí mal por ellos. También huele a aceite viejo en el lugar y es persistente y desagradable.

Love this place for their delicious sushi,which the chefs prepare with such dedication to their craft, right in front of you.

I visited this restaurant expecting a good dining experience, but unfortunately, I was met with an unexpected inconvenience. While the food looked nice, I was caught off guard when I was about to order and was informed that they only accept cash. What made it worse was that there were no visible signs or prior warnings about this policy. The staff handed me a menu, allowed me to get comfortable, and then, just as I was ready to order, they casually mentioned the cash-only policy. To make matters more concerning, they required payment upfront before even preparing the food, which felt a bit unusual and off-putting. Given that most places accommodate card payments, this lack of transparency seemed misleading and inconvenient for customers who might not carry cash. If you’re planning to visit, make sure to bring cash to avoid any frustration. However, I personally believe that businesses should be upfront about such policies to ensure a smoother customer experience.

Comida increíble, servicio rápido y muy amable, por esta razón este restaurante siempre está lleno, recomiendo llamar para reservar una mesa antes de ir.

Excellent food and service and reasonably priced.food is freshly made and very tasty would definitely recommend and will be going again!

Encontramos Blossoms por accidente y no nos decepcionó! Encantadora bienvenida cálida por todo el personal, buenas bebidas y cócteles! Servicio atento, no comí esta vez, pero el menú se ve muy bien. ¡Volveremos!
