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 feels polished yet unpretentious.

The kitchen leans into balance and brightness, with bento boxes showcasing clean, umami-rich flavours. Think duck, chicken teriyaki or salmon teriyaki, each finished with that familiar sweet-savoury lacquer. The salads are not to be missed either, from mixed salad with in-house Japanese dressing and seaweed to three pieces of ebi tempura served alongside fresh greens.

Comfort arrives steaming and restorative, with kake udon and tempura udon sitting alongside 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.

Whether it’s 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’s known for. Drop by, settle in, and let Brighton’s newest coastal outpost roll your evening along, one delicious bite at a time.
