Bincho Yakitori
63 Preston Street, Brighton, BN1 2HE
About
Bincho Yakitori is a small, dark izakaya-style room on Preston Street built around charcoal-grilled skewers, cooked over binchotan coal in the traditional Japanese style. The menu runs through chicken thigh, pork belly, and vegetable skewers alongside small plates and natural wine, meant for grazing over a couple of hours rather than one main course. It has a genuine backstreet-Tokyo feel that is rare in Brighton, and it takes online reservations while keeping some seats for walk-ins. It suits a relaxed evening of small plates and drinks rather than a formal sit-down dinner.
