Taro

Taro brings its well-loved Japanese sensibility to Brighton City Centre, marking the group’s ninth opening and its first coastal home. Set on Ship Street, just moments from the beach, it channels the city’s breezy energy into a dining experience that is polished yet unpretentious, where the rhythm of the seafront meets the quiet precision of the sushi counter.

The kitchen leans into balance and brightness: handmade sushi and sashimi sit alongside bento boxes that showcase contrasting textures and clean, umami-rich flavours. Think sashimi, or a salmon teriyaki bento with that familiar sweet-savoury lacquer. There are new sushi rolls created especially for Brighton, a gentle nod to the city’s appetite for something fresh and a little playful.

Comfort comes steaming and restorative, from Kake Udon and Tempura Udon to hearty bowls of Chicken Ramen or Shoyu Pork Ramen. Rice dishes such as Chicken Teri Don and Salmon Teri Don offer simple pleasure in every spoonful, while staples like miso soup, edamame, seaweed salad and a salmon sashimi salad keep things light and sea-breezy.

Whether it is a pre-shopping lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends or a quick bite before a night out, Taro pairs authentic Japanese flavours with the warm hospitality it is known for. Drop by, settle in, and let Brighton’s newest coastal outpost roll your evening along, one delicious bite at a time.
