Japanese · Brighton
Tucked in central Brighton, this is one of those places that feels like a find — several families have been surprised to walk in on a Saturday night and get a table. It's a proper sit-down Japanese and pan-Asian menu at fair prices, with a kids' menu, high chairs and enough room to get a pram in, plus a few outdoor seats. Sushi is rolled to order, so expect a wait on those while the hot dishes — sesame chicken wings, giant tempura prawns, beef steaks — land fast and hot, which helps when someone's flagging. Staff are warm and genuinely good with people; small freebies like miso soup or ice cream turn up more often than you'd expect. Worth knowing: it can run a little chilly inside, and the lunch menu is the better-value visit.
