Sushimania Brighton

My boyfriend and I have been here twice now, April and August 2025, and both times we’ve really enjoyed it. We ordered from the half price a la carte menu and left absolutely stuffed & satisfied each time. It is good, often delicious, food. The toilets are a bit grim. The toilet seats are the main problem in the ladies’ because they don’t fit the toilets. Could be easily remedied by the restaurant. Just make sure you empty your bowels before going here. My rating is given for the food. Service was good too.

All you can eat Japanese food for about £25 per person is a solid deal. The quality ranges from good to great. Not the best in the world but it is still a solid 7 or 8/10. At this price point, I would definitely return. The food is fresh and tasty. The menu is varied and the presentation is decent. I like they also give proper sized drinks too not those tiny 1 sip 200ml glasses. Only very minor issue would be they only do salmon sashimi, no other sashimi was available which is a shame. The sushi dishes (nigiri, hand rolls, maki) were all a bit rice heavy, although maybe it's not profitable at £25pp. Beef Yakitory, eel nigiri, salmon nigiri and pork tonkatsu were my top picks. The ebi tempura felt a bit soggy and the batter not crisp enough, like they soaked up too much oil, so we're not my favourite.

We availed their half-priced menu. Some of our food were tasty and some were just satisfactory. The salmon teriyaki donburi was delicious. The udon and chicken curry needs more flavor in it. The sushi rolls are worth the price since they’re big but they’re too big to eat in one go. The service was quick and attentive, making sure that I have water in my glass, orders are served on promised time, and quickly cleans the table as soon as food has been consumed. I don’t like the last one because it sends a message that they want us to leave as soon as possible. The restaurant wasn’t even busy that day. The interior of the restaurant is so dark - it must be because of the black walls and the color combination of red and black.

Loved the food. Showed up close to closing and staff were very accommodating and lovely. The quality of food definitely wasn’t skimped out on so close to close time. Will definitely visit again.

We had the all-you-can-eat buffet, came to just over £100 for 4 of us. Everything was freshly made to order, with high quality ingredients. Service was superb, we were seated quickly and the ordering system was explained clearly. All waiters were polite and attentive, our table was cleared and refilled without delay and water was topped up frequently. The entire experience was faultless and incredible value for such a delicious meal. We will definitely be back again!

Sushimania is my all time favourite restaurant and I've visited the other locations many times. I was very excited to try the Brighton location as my boyfriend is at uni here and it would be a great place for us to have a meal at when I'm down visiting. Unfortunately this restaurant is nowhere as good as the other locations which was a shame. The food was okay but not the best. My favourite sushi to get is usually the egg omelette nigiri but it disappointed me when we received it. For some reason the omelette was triangle shaped and very thick compared to the usual rectangles they are at the other locations, which isn't too bad but I'm autistic and the change threw me off. Two of the omelette pieces also had some sort of green paste(?) on them which I assume is avocado from another sushi, but I had to give those pieces to my boyfriend because it was a bit scary and I was scared it was mold(he said it was fine). All of the nigiri we ordered had a weirdly small amount of rice compared to what you usually have with nigiri from any sushi place. It threw off the ratio of fish to rice and it wasn't great. Most of the other food we had was good just could do with a little bit more sauce/flavour. The piece of katsu chicken I had felt a little chewy and was maybe a little undercooked? However my boyfriend ate the rest and didn't seem to notice so it may have just been me being paranoid after the nigiri. The staff were really lovely and friendly which was nice and we were given water as soon as we were sat down. They also let us take a lollipop each as we left! The restaurant itself was quite empty with about maybe four other tables with people sitting at them. The service was pretty fast which was great. The women's toilets weren't great. At first it looks like a nice bathroom but then when you're actually in there it seems quite run down almost. The doors to the cubicles are really close to the toilet seat and its a little difficult to get in and out easily. There were toilet rolls everywhere but on the toilet roll holder which was fine but a little weird. Overall it was okay but I can't say I will return to this location.

The unlimited sushi here is excellent. Me and my friends usually average about 4 or 5 rounds with the two of us. There is a wide selection of sushi and hot food included in the deal. I absolutely loved the tempura sweet potato rolls, as well as the salmon and avocado futomaki. I also love the tempura prawns and the teryaki salmon. My favourites however were probably the salmon nigiri and the inari nigiri. Excellent. Great service, very quick, if you go for lunch the atmosphere is awkward because it is so quiet, but the service is so fast.

I usually have a 'you have to try everything twice rule'. Unfortunately, I will not be applying this here. This was the first and only time I would come here. Firstly, we had the, all you can eat, so the menu was different (maybe the a la carte is better). I enjoyed the process of scanning the QR and selecting 6 hot dishes and 6 sushi dishes every 15 minutes for your 90-minute duration. The seaweed was the chewiest I've been served, the children peeled it off. The hot dishes were better, but the kimchi rice was stodgy and lacked any flavour. The sashimi was also low quality cuts. If the food is poor at a restaurant, it doesn't really matter about the other notable items. However, in this case, it was also incredibly tired. There was stock, extra chairs, and tables piled on the restaurant floor. The toliets were no better. There were sections of units missing and it had exposed pipework. As you can see in the video, there were also small flies that were there the entire time, even after removing a few. Overall, it wasn't worth the £100+ bill for two dry adults, one child and a baby.
