   We popped in for lunch and told the staff that it was our 22nd anniversary. We both had the set £10 menu. I had mushroom gyōza and Kakugiri ramen and my partner had pork gyōza and Tokyo ramen and we each had a half of Kirin beer. The food was delicious and such great value and the beer was lovely and refreshing. When we came to pay, our waitress said the beer was comped to celebrate our anniversary. What a lovely gesture. Great team, great food.

   EDIT: Response to Owner. Thank you for replying however with all due respect, it shouldn't fall on the customer to provide your staff a liveable wage, that ownership should be on you. Increase menu prices if necessary so that it's transparent for the customer before ordering. Matter of fact is people DO get embarrassed to ask to take service charge off, regardless of whether there is judgement or not. In this economy, everyone is fighting for an increased living wage, not just restaurant staff. REVIEW: Decided to try the vegan chilli tofu ramen because their website mentions that the noodles are handmade. Was left very disappointed, the noodles just tasted like packet noodles, broth was sweet and lacked the umami flavour Japanese food is known for. Even their chilli oil didn’t help much, for some reason it was just not spicy. I really really wanted to like this place, even went for their large portion and extra toppings, but it overpromised and undelivered, I’ve had better noodles and sides at chain restaurants which is saying something. I was also really annoyed by the 12.5% service charge they added. If customers want to AND can afford to, they will tip your staff, please stop enforcing it on your customers! People like me get too embarrassed to ask to take it off the bill, and restaurants know this and purposely use this tactic to get more money out of their customers.

   Brighton Tonkotsu is hands down the best ramen place in town! Food is delicious, great vegan options (spicy chilli tofu is my go to!), fair prices, all staff is always friendly and cheerful, providing warm and quick service - always a pleasure to grab a meal :) Me and my partner come here weekly and it’s simply the best! Would highly recommend :)

   We decided to try this place from recommended. The restaurant itself is very clean and decorated well. I had to ask the person serving if the air conditioning was on as it was so hot inside. She said no, then put it on. We were left for a very long time before being asked what we wanted to order. Then everything came out very fast and had to make room for everything on the table. The Tonkotsu ramen was very salty. I left most of the juice. The wings were very good! We ordered more as it was happy hour for wings and cocktails. The other server was lovely and because we were in a hurry to leave (we had a show to attend) did her best to get the bill ready for us as we were already away from the table and asked her by the card machine. It was not cheap but it is very filling and has some good quality of ingredients.

   Very good location, atmosphere is modern and I liked it as it was not too loud, tables positioned really well. We had 2 vegan ramen options with mushroom and soya, it was great although the taste was not as deep and not as many greens as expected. Everything else was perfect. Waiters were super friendly and helpful, a very good service with Barcodes making it modern and easy to have detailed menus and order with one click. Thank you!

   Ordered on Deliveroo, delicious. The only reason I’m rating one less star is because I found there wasn’t many bean sprouts so was just noodles, broth and meat. I also felt the broth could have a bit of a deeper flavour but still was very tasty. Would defo come back and eat fresh in store!

   A stone's throw away from Brighton Dome, went in with a friend just before a show. Really quick service, we sat down with one of the nicest meals I've had with a while. Really nice vegetarian ramen (I had the pumpkin broth special) and great service. Couldn't recommend it more highly. As a tip: definitely try the chili cauliflower wings

   Had my lunch today, very friendly place, clean and open space. We where reject by few restaurants as got a puppy . So glad they let us in Enjoyed so much in the food. Had the best chicken wing ever, so tasty, we had the soup noodles, dumpling, kastu Currey, 2 bottle of shake , then had the very rich Salted caramel ice cream ,was the best ice cream I had, so Rich but wasn't too sweet. My partner had the 3 Japanese whisky, was very good he said, but I don't drink whisky. Really enjoy my lunch there, quite drunk when got out , too bad didn't take every dish picture but really tasty lunch.
