Akiya Japanese Restaurant

Brighton Japanese for fresh sashimi and sushi, bento boxes and free starters at fair prices

Relaxed, spacious neighbourhood dining room with minimalist plating; polished enough for a proper night out yet fine in casual clothes, and on the quiet side.

Complimentary amuse-bouche rice cracker with sashimi at the start and house-baked cookies to finish; dishes made to order; takeaway reliably ready on time.

Many diners call the food authentic and traditional, with Japanese-language praise among the reviews; a few dispute this, noting Chinese influences in some sauces.

Widely praised as good value with generous portions; bento boxes and set menus are the value picks, while a few reviewers found tempura and specialty rolls pricey for the size.
