Japanese Cafe An-an

This little gem is genuinely the best thing that Portslade (dare I say Brighton and Hove too!) has to offer. The people here are passionate and so so kind and talented at what they do. If you’re interested in japanese food, you will find the very best of it here. The prices are very reasonable and the customer service is out of this world. If an-an wasn’t here, I would move away (this isn’t even a joke, as soon as they move away, so will I). Even if you are down here to visit Brighton, please take the 20ish minute trip on the bus to visit this cafe! I don’t recommend much, but I recommend this to everybody.

I just got a herbal tea, the atmosphere was lovely, relaxing music. The staff were prompt polite and lovely, The tea arrived a perfect hot temperature in a little pot with a cup and saucer and teaspoon, i was able to sip little by little as I read my book 😊 Everything was very clean, the tables, the dishware, like squeaky clean like i like to have myself at home, Most places i go to i feel the need to clean the table down with carryon antibac spray that i bring, but i here it was so lovely and clean. Yes wonderful, 5/5* cafe experience in my books 😊

Fantastic Japenese food in an amazing cafe. We went in at lunchtime and ordered a bit of everything, and would happily do so again. The chicken katsui was perfect, the croquettes and dumplings were also amazing and I've never had rice balls like that in the UK. The Matcha crepe cake was also outstanding. Will hopefully be coming back regularly! Don't be fooled by the location, Cafe An-an is brilliant and should definitely be on your list of places to eat wherever you live!
