There’s always a little worry when one of your favourite restaurants changes hands… will it still be the same?

…well @binchoyakitori has now moved on from its original founder and head chef Dave, with the restaurant continuing under new ownership from @goemon.ramen . But from what I’ve heard, Dave was very much involved in the handover, helping to make sure the standards and everything that made Bincho so special were carried across to the new owners. So I went along recently with high hopes… and I’m very pleased to say I needn’t have worried! 🙌
Everything was still every bit as delicious as I remembered. The flavours were spot on, the food was fantastic and the Bincho vibe was still there so it was genuinely such a relief to know that Bincho still reigns as one of my favourite restaurants in Brighton
My standouts from this visit were the Chicken Skins, Kara-Age Chicken, Mushroom Rice and the Cauliflower Korean Style, all absolutely delicious. If you haven’t been to Bincho yet, this is your sign to go. A must visit and one I can still highly recommend!
What’s your favourite dish at Bincho?
