A sushi restaurant has been told to improve after being given the second-lowest rating in a food hygiene inspection.

Sushi Garden in Preston Street, Brighton, has been told that “major improvement” is necessary after its latest inspection.

It was rated one out of five by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), a government department which monitors food safety and hygiene.

Noodles Street, a noodle bar in London Road, received the same one-star rating.

Inspectors said the takeaway must improve its food hygiene.

Both restaurants were inspected last month.

Kurdish Kitchen, a Middle Eastern takeaway in London Road, received a two rating. This means some improvement is necessary.

Elsewhere in Sussex, some establishments were handed four ratings, meaning their food hygiene is good. These were:

Rhean’s Coffee And Cake House in High Street, Westham near Pevensey

Saheb's Indian Restaurant in Station Road, Northiam, near Rye

The following places in Sussex were given the top five out of five rating which means food hygiene is very good:

  • The Bear Inn, a pub in Market Square, Horsham
  • Cafe W (at Waterstones) in Carfax, Horsham
  • Old Oak Inn, a pub, in Caneheath, near Polegate
  • Chapter Two in Cooden Sea Road, Little Common, near Bexhill
