  “One of my favorite Japanese places in Brighton! The raman is always great and full of flavour! I always order the tonkotsu raman with a side of takoyaki which are honestly the best and could eat more than 20 of them! 😅 Always look forward to coming back! Plus the staff are very polite.”

  “As always Goemon Ramen is amazing, the food and drink was delicious and the atmosphere and music was lovely, we both got pork ramen bowls and I had a lovely whiskey and ginger ale cocktail - the best part of the experience by far though was our amazing server Ami!!! She was lovely to us and was obviously working super hard dashing around, I asked for another drink halfway through my meal and it was there immediately- definitely coming back and hoping to have Ami as our server again!! 10/10 service”

  “I tried Goemon Ramen Bar in Brighton and must say we were really impressed. The broth was rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced, with noodles that were chewy yet soft just right. The pork chashu melted in our mouths. The cozy little shop exudes a genuine Japanese vibe, making it a great spot for delicious ramen in Brighton. 🍜 The staff were friendly and efficient, serving us quickly. However, I was a bit disappointed when I called to inquire about reservations—the restaurant doesn’t accept advance bookings or offer takeout. But I can understand since the place is always bustling with diners. If you visit this city, I highly recommend giving it a try.”

  “Since visiting Japan last year we’ve had regular cravings for great ramen - we now know where we need to go. We got there for opening at midday and were shown straight to a table by a very friendly waitress. Our order was taken quickly and the food came a short time later. The yasai gyoza was sublime served with a crust binding the six together- delicious. The Korean chicken bao bun was a delight - perfect combo of flavours, spicy and tasty. The Tokyo tonkotsu ramen is delicious - the stock is rich, multi layered with flavours and awesome toppings. The noodles are fresh with perfect texture. The staff were all brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, we’ll be back. Arigato gozaimashita!”

  “My most favourite ramen restaurant in Brighton! Everything was exceptionally good, from the ramen itself to the staff there. I really recommend the Tokyo ramen and Tonkatsu ramen, the broth was really really soothing, and their noodles are really well-cooked. I came here several times and will definitely keep coming back. The takoyaki is also a must here, highly recommended.”

  “🇯🇵 Authentic Japanese Ramen in Brighton 🍜 If you’re in Brighton, Goemon Ramen Bar is an absolute must-visit. Opened by a Japanese owner, this spot gets busy during peak hours — but trust me, it’s 100% worth the wait. 🍜 Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen Rich, creamy broth without being greasy, packed with depth of flavour and finished with fragrant black garlic oil. The pork chashu is melt-in-your-mouth tender. 🥗 Daikon Bali Bali Salad Shredded Japanese radish, crunchy noodles and seaweed tossed in sesame dressing — super refreshing and addictive. 🍆 Age Nasu Aubergine Deep-fried aubergine soaked in bonito soy sauce. Pure umami goodness. 🍗 Karaage Authentic Japanese fried chicken — soy sauce and ginger marinated, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The restaurant has two floors with a relaxed, casual vibe, and the staff are warm and welcoming, including a Japanese-speaking waitress and a Japanese chef in the kitchen.”

  “I’ve walked past Goemon many times over the years it it’s original location and thought little of it. What a huge mistake that was. Phenomenal Ramen, huge flavours and loved you could get a small one. I had spicy tonkotsu which was amazing, but the pork tan tan was even better. The dumplings OMG. I cannot wait to come back and start working through the menu.”

  “If you’re in Brighton, Goemon Ramen Bar is a must visit. Opened by Japanese owner, it’s popular enough that you’ll probably wait during peak hours but it’s worth it. The shop has two floors and a relaxed, casual vibe. Friendly staff, including a Japanese speaking waitress and a Japanese chef. The menu offers a solid range: Tonkotsu, Chicken Bone Broth, Miso, Shoyu, plus vegetarian options like Soymilk Ramen and Veggie Miso. Only regret was realizing afterward that they also serve tsukemen! The tonkotsu broth is rich without being greasy, with great depth of flavour and delicious black garlic oil. The shoyu (chicken-based) is aromatic and well balanced. If you prefer a stronger taste, go for the tonkotsu. Both thick and thin noodles are springy and satisfying, easy to end up ordering extra. Toppings include chashu, seasoned egg, spring onion, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and bean sprouts. The pork chashu is tender and flavourful, the chicken chashu surprisingly soft and juicy, and the seasoned egg well marinated. The gyoza were golden, lightly crisp on the outside and juicy inside, gone in minutes. Overall, one of the best ramen spots I’ve tried in the UK. If you’re after authentic Japanese ramen, Goemon in Brighton is absolutely worth recommending.”

  “There are often queues outside of this place and I can see why! This place serves fantastic ramen and other Japanese foods. The service is quick and polite and the food is authentic. As with ramen places in Japan, things are done swiftly, you'll likely be eating within 5 minutes. I would definitely come back and I would recommend you go as well!”
