Whenever you see guides of where to eat in Brighton, people will tell you to avoid Preston Street as it's renowned for cheap take aways. Its proximity to the flat is handy if you can't be bothered to cook and if you look hard enough there are some true gems. This Japanese street food place won second place in the first food awards of 2017. The skewers are to die for! Booking advised.
