“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.

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.

“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”.

“Still below the radar for outsiders” – David Miney’s squeezed izakaya serves a wide range of Japanese dishes, including sushi and yakitori, and – though feedback was more limited last year – fans still say it’s outstanding.

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).
