    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!

    Thanks for my home made green tea crepe birthday day!!! Yummy! Lovely little cafe for lunch, tea (I haven’t been here for dinner before) and cakes(chestnut cake, green tea cheese cake and some other on hidden menu)

    Excellent little cafe catering in authentic Japanese food. A hidden gem in the dockland town of Portslade. Excellent for a lunch stop or a tea break to enjoy some of the beautiful hand made desserts.

    We had chicken katsu sandwich, sausage roll, matcha mille crepe, baked cheesecake, mango & peach milkshake and iced matcha latte for takeaway. All was very tasty! Definitely we will come back!

    My friend recommended me this little Japanese restaurant and I enjoyed the food a lot. I had a Japanese curry with pumpkin croquettes and it was just amazing! I had also my first Tsubu-an and I loved it!! The ladies who run the cafe are lovely too. I definitely recommend it 🙂

    Fantastic value £15 for a soft drink, 3 Prawns Sushi roll, and a Chicken Katsu sandwich, all freshly made.

    Fantastic, I had read about Cafe an-an on TripAdvisor, so really wanted to try it. They exceeded my expectations. Really friendly and helpful staff, relaxing ambiance with soothing music. The food was fabulous, authentic and freshly made and cooked. A great food experience. Prices were great value. Overall a fantastic first visit. I will go back very soon. If you like Japanese food you must visit!

    A hidden gem. The prawn sushi roll is so tasty! I rarely encounter reasonable priced delicious sushi in UK so very happy with it. And a broad selection of sweet treats. All of them are delightful.

  • 5/5 Iain A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cakes and treats on offer here :) as well as some shopping items for cooking Japanese food (rice, condiments, frozen goods). If they have an Okonomiyaki night offer on, be sure to get one (or two) they are spot on. Lots of nice gifts in there too (hair clips for my daughter etc).

    I've been meaning to check this out for ages. Really lovely little place, does tasty cheap Japanese food for lunch, as well as delicious homemade sweets! I'll deffo be coming back.

  • 5/5 Nathan H. 5 years ago on Google
    An-an is surely the best Japanese café in the city. It's a cosy place with outdoor seating too. Everything on the menu is gorgeously tasty, but I cannot recommend the yakisoba highly enough. They can definitely cater to all your mochi and sweet-treat needs. Authentic, delectable and run by the loveliest people. Check them out!

    The food is amazing! It's a nice homely japanese place and it reminded me of the time I lived in japan. I have been there a few times already and I highly recommend it!

    Got a chicken katsu and lettuce sandwich from here. The baguette and chicken looked a bit stale but tasted decent. Would like to try this place out again and see if it was just a one-time thing.

  • 5/5 Benjamin R. 9 months ago on Google
    We had sushi, katsu, and gyoza and it was all very good. Staff and chef were extremely kind helping us pick gluten free and specialty and seasonal items. Real specialty seems to be baked goods and we had mochi as well. Hidden gem feels very authentic and not the usual sushi bar thing.

    Wow! This place is so lovely, the desserts are such a treat. I absolutely love the grape and elderflower cake 👌

    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 😊

    I’ve been enjoying visiting the cafe by myself and with friends. It’s always a good time and the food it’s always the best. I always come here when I feel like having a meal that it’s going to make me feel better about my day! Thank you!
