Bincho Yakitori
A cozy Japanese yakitori joint on Preston Street, featuring a weekly rotating charcoal-grilled skewer menu, once ranked in the top three of Time Out Brighton.
A very intimate space where sitting at the bar lets you watch the chefs grill skewers up close. The menu changes weekly, focusing on charcoal-grilled skewers, small plates, and sharing dishes, with no distinction between starters and mains. Frequently ordered items include pork belly skewers, miso butter corn, and karaage (fried chicken), alongside chicken skin, heart, and other giblets. Two people usually order about six plates, with diners in 2026 reporting an average spend of £40-50 per person. It ranked third on the 2025 Time Out Brighton list and holds a 4.7 rating on TripAdvisor. Online bookings can be made up to three months in advance; call for same-day bookings. A £15 per person no-show fee applies. A small number of seats are kept for walk-ins. Located on Preston Street, about a 5-minute walk from the West Pier ruins.
