   Very nice staff and service. We have over ordered and over ate. Cocktails are good. Food is good. Setting is minimalist and tables are far apart which is good for private conversations. Good venue.

   Lovely staff, restaurant and food - but they need to sort out the kitchen! Long waits between courses and food arrives at random times. They do warn this and you expect a few minutes not close to an hour! And there were only a handful of tables occupied. Will go back and give them another chance as its one of the better Japanese restaurants in town

   'Sold our coffee machine last week'. No espresso martinis for us.

   Excellent food, good service, easy atmosphere, reasonable value. Sadly the menu was lacking in vegan options, they were poorly labelled (V, Ve and Vg => confusing) and literally bottom of the list. They seemed to be an afterthought. Nothing was labelled as "vegan option available" and some veggie/vegan options were not labelled as such. Disappointing, especially for a classy restaurant in the student area of Brighton.

   Was really looking forward to our meal and had heard good things about the restaurant. First impressions were great a stunning building very tastefully decorated. Room wasn’t full but we were greeted with “we are very busy tonight so we don’t have any Wagu or black rice” odd given that it was early and not busy. No explanation of menu, waitress don’t know anything about the food and had to be asked to go and find out Food was nice but not exceptional overall a very disappointing experience.

   food was outstanding, so clean, fresh and precise even with dietary requirement for Ceoliac. Staff were very attentive with this requirement. The right level of support from the staff to enjoy our evening to chit chat. My other 3 guest are all going to come back again they were so impressed with the place. This is my 3rd time and never been disspointed. Thankyou

    I first went to FUMI a few years ago when it first opened. At that time, it was a great service and great food- I recall comparing it to some of my top London sushi restaurants. However, I was utterly disappointed to the point of being embarrassed to take my partner there for his birthday. The service was terrible. Food took 1.5 hours to arrive and was of poor quality. Some parts of the descriptions were missing, sushi arrived without any sides such as soy. Raman came out with no consideration of a spoon for two children. Taste was bland. Sadly, I will not be returning. Such a shame.
