    This place is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. The food is absolutely top notch and the service is brilliant. Unlike certain other well known sushi restaurants, the food here is actually fresh. The food is so fresh that it tastes like it has come straight from the sea. I would say that after being to Japan, this is some of the best sushi outside of the country. The portion sizes are perfect and the selection is great. They have so many good dishes to choose from on the belt that you barely even have to order off the menu - although if you do, you will not be disappointed as the hot dishes are delicious. I would highly recommend getting a membership card for here. It cost £12 a year and gets you 50% off on a Monday and Tuesday - so you make it back on the first visit.

    Salmon teriyaki

    Ordered the salmon teriyaki. The salmon was over-cooked and very dry. I have definitely tastes way better salmon teriyaki than this. I think the gimmick is the conveyor belt of sushi that travels around the room and the modern decor. In general it is ok ... but definitely not the best.

    I went for lunch in Moshimo on my day visit to Brighton. It's a fun place with the traditional conveyer belt squirming across the whole restaurant transporting small plates of sushi to hungry customers. It works both as an awesome decorative element as well as a practical food dispenser. You can compile your whole meal from the belt if you like or you can order food from the menu - or combine the both as I did. The belt is pretty great because you can immediately start eating and don't have to wait for anyone to serve you - this is particularly convenient if the wait staff is no where to be found or if you are really hungry like I was ;) I ended up ordering some nice scallop and tuna sashimi with a soft shell crab tempura. I also had some salmon and tuna nigiris and kimchi salad from the conveyer belt. Everything was good but nothing too special to be honest. I'd say the scallops were the highlight of the meal for me. The service was not very good as we had to wait to be served quite a while (thank god for the conveyer belt) and when we did get service it wasn't very polite or nice. What also brought the dining experience down was that we ordered some mineral water with lime and ended up with not only the totally wrong drinks, but they were really bad tasting too. I was actually told that the service is always bad there, but I can only base my opinion on my own experience and that left a lot to wish for.

    Usual Order: Matcha Iced Tea, Aubergine Dengaku or Seaweed Salad, Faroes (Assorted Vegetarian Sushi) A loyalty card will cost you 10£ but will enable you to get 50% off for you and a pal (less percentage per person if you bring more than 2 people) on Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the year (and EVERYDAY in January). It pays for itself with ONE (two-person) meal so it makes no sense not to have one, really. The restaurant is decorated in a traditional Japanese style (tatami room). And in the summer has a lovely outdoor patio area. It also has a conveyor belt of assorted sushi but I rarely order from this as the other food on the extensive menu is so delicious!

    I have been here a few times and have always really enjoyed it. Sushi can be tricky when it comes to gluten free eating. Soya sauce isn't gluten free, for example. Nor is anything with imitation crab, or anything deep fried. Moshimo do have gluten free soya sauce available if you ask, which is great. They do also have gluten free items on the fun conveyer belt... but I'd say you'll have a better time ordering something off the menu instead of staring it down trying to figure out if the thing passing you does indeed have a bread-like coating on the little thing inside the roll. Not as much fun, but much easier and safer! I love their outdoor area in the summer with the neat little picnic benches.

    A rainy day by the sea. How very British. Empty stomachs and not a clue where to find what we were after with which to satisfy the rumbles we circled the lanes trying to find something other than a sandwich shop or an Italian restuarant. We were after something oriental. We asked a chef standing outside one of the numerous Italian joints (why so many in such s small area?) and he pointed across the road to this bizarre building saying 'well, there is that place, it's call Mish Mosh or something, I think it's chinese' Moshi Moshi was in fact serving sushi. Such a shame that after all that effort it turned out to be sadly disappointing. My girlfriend ordered (I have no knowledge of what's what on a sushi menu-) and I can't really remember what we had. I do remember the scottish salmon sushimi- we both agree that this was the best thing we'd ordered- and the thing that the restaurant had no hand in making. The staff were grumpy and deeply lacking in energy and enthusiasm which quickly rubbed off onto us. I did like their aprons though.

    It's been going since 1994 and looking at their site has the smug air of a company almost more concerned with it's eco-credentials than the food it serves. That combined with the fact it was owned by a certain Heather Mills and was known as being the perfect place to take your little organic food eating, no sweets allowed, organic cotton only, home schooled, able to have an adult conversation in a restaurant despite only being five rather than running round like normal horrors little Edmunds and Alices and I was really ready to bury it. So why were we there? Because the sushi, apparently, was to die for... We gave them a tough enough challenge, arriving mid afternoon after a busy Saturday lunch service with the vestiges of the lunch service still being cleared, and the last Alices and Edmunds were flinging their final maki roll at doting mum and dad. It's a conveyor restaurant, with a central preparation area and a hot kitchen though a hatch. The restaurant itself is a copper green cube sitting squat in Bartholemew Square. Despite having just finished lunch there were still a fair and reasonable selection of dishes rolling round. The fish on the nigiri was fresh and sweet, with a nice bite to the rice. A couple of thick shards of mackerel really stood out, still gleaming on the outside, straight from the sea. As well as your standard conveyor belt fare they also have a large hot food menu with some exciting seasonal treats on there. As well as the expected udon noodle dishes, several gzoya, the ubiquitous terriyaki and a pork tonkatsu there's also a marinated Korean pork bulgogi served with a spicy Korean sauce and a terrific sounding Cornish catch of the day (more of that lovely mackerel) dry fried in salt and sansho pepper. For me, there was only one call for an extra dish alongside the nigiri and sashimi and that was a whole softshell crab, sliced in two and cooked in a tempura batter. It was a great choice. A light greaseless batter coated the two halves of crab and the piquant thin chilli sauce offset the rich crab, cooked lightly enough to retain its taste of the sea. A perfectly reasonable, though unexceptional chocolate mousse finished us and we waddled out onto to the blustery seafront, leaving the staff the relax for a few hours before another onslaught of middle class Brighton media refugees and their offspring.

    Herring "Kabayaki" donburi and the Tempura platter. Oink!

    I really, really like Moshimo. I've never had anything but super fresh sashimi, nigiri and handrolls here, in addition to piping hot meals ordered off the menu. This review is more of a cumulative one, rather than detailing a specific experience. This isn't haute cuisine, and the full experience is a completely different animal from, say, a Michelin-starred restaurant in London. However, for me, it really is as good as it gets for Brighton and Hove in the way of reliably good sushi plus overall affordability if you're a member, hence the 5 stars. I've been coming here for the past three years, and make wild use of the membership card. It's £10 to buy, and is only good for a year, but you get 50% of most food on the menu on Mondays and Tuesdays, and the way my partner and I eat, the card pays for itself twice over in a single meal. It gets really packed on these days though, so if you go at 6:30 on a Monday, be prepared to queue. The salmon sashimi is like buttah! Butter in delicious salmon form. I get really twitchy about fish that isn't fresh or has the slightest fishy flavour, and that's something I've never encountered here. We also tend to be really happy with the crab and avocado temaki, aubergine dengaku, chicken kara age, and the many rolls that come out on the conveyor belt. The menu changes seasonally, and there are quite a few vegetarian and vegan options, which I appreciate. There is a focus on sourcing the food locally and sustainably, so you can feel reasonably virtuous too. I wouldn't write home about the cocktail selection, but they have some refreshing matcha iced tea, as well as Kirin on draft. If we do opt for dessert, we go for the mochi, because they're small, satisfyingly sweet, but not rich. Most of the time, we're so stuffed with sushi, that it's difficult to even contemplate dessert! The service is good- not overly attentive, but they don't leave you high and dry either. Occasionally you might need to flag someone down for the bill or to order, but most of the time, waitstaff come by to check on you and are friendly. Going to Moshimo just feels really homey- it's not pretentious, but we know that when we go there, we'll leave very happy (and maybe go back the next day for a second round).

    Not bad but with one caveat: skip the sushi and try the typical izakaya stuff instead…read more When you walk in here you will recognize this kind of place instantly if you are a global traveller who has spent time in neighborhoods outside of the major cities: at one time it was the only sushi restaurant in town and it has maintained its ways throughout the years. The quality is not bad, not good but it will do if you need your fix and have no other option. Sushi itself is OK. Tuna nigiri was strangely colored and not too flavorful whereas seared salmon belly was a bit better and close to standard. Much better was chicken katsu curry and the gyoza, both of which were perfectly fine preparations of the comfort food classics. The vibe is a little weird. All families and some classical music on the sound system. This is not a date night place or a hip venue - go across the street to the yakitori place for that.

    At last! A decent sushi restaurant in Brighton. I've had two really annoying Japanese meals in…read moreBrighton, one in a restaurant owned by a certain famous DJ and another at a well known sushi chain (I honestly think a BigMac would've tasted better than the food in there). First of all, in Sushi Garden, you actually feel like your in a Japanese restaurant, the decor, smell and staff all really make the senses jump! We had a fantastic lunch there one Saturday and found it a lot more relaxing as it wasn't as packed out as the evening time. I started with some nice warm saki to get things going and then ordered a mix of tuna and salmon sashimi and nigiri (I always over order this as its so moreish). For a main I had some pork gyoza with a pork shabu salad on the side which was more than enough for me for lunch. Japanese restaurants aren't the cheapest places to eat but when they're as good as this who cares.

The layout is clean and simple - no frills, but still comfortable and modern. The service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The karaage was a generous portion given I ordered the 'side-dish/snack' version, and tasty. The creamy kimchi sauce was also yummy, although it was more mayo with a hint of kimchi - delicious, but as someone who loooves kimchi, it was a shame not to have something a teeny bit punchier because karaage and kimchi is a combination I could definitely get behind! Overall, great. I'm definitely going to pop in and try their gyozas at some point!

But no place in Brighton can conjure up a good takeaway Katsu. A dilemma. Then I found Sunoso (it just appeared on Just Eat. Like Asian Fusion magic). I had Katsu and some Karaage. The Katsu was incredible for takeaway Katsu. Easily the best I've had. Better than Pompoko, Itsu, Kokoro and Sushimania. It was light, tasty, non-greasy and with lots vegetables and a choice of either white or brown rice. Delivered within 30 mins. The Karaage was okay, very tasty but a tad dry. Could have done with a slice of lemon. Reasonably priced. Tempted to call my girlfriend and encourage her to stay away for another night.
