Great! - Edit
We've eaten here twice and we're so lucky that's it's less than five minutes from where we live.
Read moreThe menu is delightful - be aware that food is served 'tapas style' so you won't get your starter, main etc but (at least at the moment) you will get wasabi chickpeas which are amazing!
We ate the special lamb skewers, chicken yakatori, rice and sea bream - the latter being the most incredible thing I've eaten for some time and my other half is a great vegan cook!
These guys are giving the more longstanding veggie/vegan places in Brighton a run for their money and blooming good luck to them!
Interesting cooking, nice people.
Pros: Location , Food, Service
Cons: Location won't work for tourists -if that matters!

Shockingly good - Edit
I didn't have my hopes too high since it hurts even more when Asian food is disappointing, but I was blown away here. The only comment I'll make is that it can get quite spenny here.

The best food we’ve ever had! - Edit
This was up there with the best food we’ve ever tasted! Inventive menu and amazing atmosphere. The deep fried bao bun (yes bao bun!!) with butterscotch sauce and cream was truly incredible. And not to forget the yummy cocktails 🍸 the Ume Sour was honestly one to be remembered! All this considered it is a pricey experience - so more for special occasions but definitely worth it!
Read morePros: All vegan!, Super inventive food , Great atmosphere

Pros: Delicious food, Great cocktails, Friendly and helpful staff

My absolute favourite restaurant - Edit
Without a doubt, Bonsai Plant Kitchen is my favourite place to eat in Brighton. The menu is super original, the food INCREDIBLY tasty, and the staff super friendly.
Read moreIt’s a bit of a budget so only go there occasionally but definitely worth every penny.

Really tasty - Edit
Great Japanese tapas. Everything prepared to perfection. The daily special of Dirty Rice was fantastic: hope they make it a regular item. Nice range of menu options too, including delicious cocktails. Would love to see their take on sushi!

Beautiful little dishes & drinks - Edit
This is a great new place, book ahead to avoid disappointment! Japanese style “tapas” as in small dishes, order lots of different ones and share. The cocktails are delicious as well. The food was great, and okay value for money. Lots of different flavours and options, but not for the whole food type vegan. Would go back!
