Harden's survey result
Summary
“Looks and feels like a proper yakitori place”, and the food is “sooo good” at this 10-year-old “Asian gem” that is “clearly no longer hidden from locals” – so the small space is often packed. Founder David Miney spent three years as a chef in Tokyo developing the expertise he now deploys in “authentic dishes at very reasonable prices” – “sit at the bar and watch the chefs in action”. “The sake selection is also on point and not outrageously expensive, like it is at other locations in this country”.
Summary
“This real hidden gem” serving “Japanese yakitori skewers with sensational flavours” is “the favourite restaurant of many people in and around Brighton” – “the only problem is it’s so popular it’s hard to get a table”. “We love sitting at the counter watching the chefs”, led by founder David Miney, who picked up the authentic techniques while working in Japan before opening here nine years ago.
Summary
With its “brilliant small plates of sublime food and great atmosphere”, this “welcoming” Japanese-style grill is “one of the best restaurants in Brighton”. Founder David Miney picked up the skills – and a taste for relaxed izakaya dining – while working for three years as a chef in Japan.
Summary
“The restaurant I return to again and again” – “once you’ve had the ridiculously tender pork belly or the hot, sweet and crispy Korean chicken wings you will be addicted” to David Miney’s elongated izakaya; even better, “unless you get seriously stuck into the sake list it's impossible to run up a big bill here”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
