Harden's survey result
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”.
Summary
“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 32 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).
