welcome to BONSAI

Multi Award Winning Tokyo Inspired Neighbourhood Restaurant.
We are closed this Wednesday, 7th October for repairs

Born in Brighton. Inspired by Tokyo. Fuelled by fire.

At Bonsai, everything begins in the kitchen — crafted over a traditional bincho grill using premium Japanese coal. This time-honoured method infuses every bite with that unmistakable smoky, umami-rich BBQ flavour that defines Tokyo street food culture.

Our ethos is simple: blend the old with the new. We honour classic Japanese techniques and remix them with Brighton’s bold, playful spirit — creating flavours that hit different.
