O'Shio

Brighton's most underrated sushi and Korean food spot

9.5/10

Local score · A local favourite

No. 9 of 300 places to eat on r/brighton, from 104 locals across 73 threads.

94% would send a mate. Still recommended in 2026.

Consistently ranked among Brighton's best Japanese/Korean restaurants, praised for excellent sushi, Korean fried chicken, agedashi tofu and takoyaki, with some rating it above Bincho. It's not cheap, but locals say it rarely disappoints and you can happily eat solo at the bar.

Mate, I asked you what you liked to eat so I could offer you a decent recommendation and you said "food". How about be a bit less passive-aggessive, what sort of response where you looking for? Casa don Carlos do great Tapas You're already had a recommendation for O'shio for Sushi and I'd second that as it's probably the best sit down Sushi restaurant. Fogo de Chão is the Brazilian steakhouse I mentioned where they keep serving you meat until you ask them to stop. Friendly staff and nice array of drinks. If you want cheap and friendly Italian then Donatello's have a nice…
