Taro Brighton to Open in September 2025 Bringing Authentic Japanese Cuisine to the Coastal City
Taro Brighton opens in September 2025, offering fresh and authentic Japanese cuisine in a stylish coastal setting. Located in Ship Street, Brighton.
Taro, the beloved Japanese restaurant group, is gearing up to launch Taro Brighton in September 2025, marking the chain’s ninth address after successful openings in Brentwood and Catford. Settled in the city centre, the restaurant will occupy 60 Ship Street, BN1 1AE, right in the beating heart of Brighton’s vibrant cultural quarter. The interiors will boast a laid-back yet chic vibe, seating up to 70 diners who will be invited to explore a menu of authentic Japanese Cuisine.
Brighton’s spirited and diverse population, combined with its booming culinary scene, makes the perfect backdrop for Taro’s next step. The city’s artsy charm and year-round tourist buzz offer the kind of dynamic atmosphere Taro aims to replicate beyond London. Guests, whether local or passing through, can look forward to a culinary journey that stays true to Japanese tradition while introducing contemporary, creative touches to bold flavours.
The restaurant is inspired by the concept of ‘Taishu Shokudo,’ which refers to an everyday dining room in Japan where meals are prepared and enjoyed with care. This ethos will be reflected in the menu, which will feature many of Taro’s signature dishes, including ramen, udon noodles, sushi, sashimi, and tempura. These dishes will be made fresh to order using high-quality ingredients from trusted suppliers.
Menu Highlights at Taro Brighton
Taro Brighton will offer a wide selection of both classic and creative Japanese dishes. Guests can look forward to enjoying delicious Gyoza (prawn or grilled chicken), crispy Takoyaki (octopus balls), and the ever-popular Taro Bento Boxes, which feature an assortment of Japanese favourites such as sushi, tempura, katsu, edamame, and hot miso soup served in traditional red and black bento boxes.
Taro Brighton will feature a must-try dish: the Brighton Roll. This house-special sushi is a colourful masterpiece made with fresh salmon, prawn, tuna, and yellowtail, paired with tender asparagus and creamy avocado, all topped with vibrant orange tobiko. A drizzle of spicy mayo ties the ingredients together, creating a flavour burst you won’t forget.
Refreshing the palate is easy with Taro Brighton’s drink menu. Sip steaming or chilled sake, grab a bottle of authentic Japanese beer, or try one of the ever-changing soft drinks. If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, the Lychee Martini is the star. Crafted with smooth Holy Grass vodka, sweet lychee juice, creamy coconut syrup, and a splash of lime for a zing, this drink is both flavourful and balanced no wonder it’s already a fan favourite.

Known for its commitment to providing authentic Japanese cuisine and outstanding hospitality, Taro has established a loyal following in London and beyond.
