"really delicious, healthy Japanese cuisine. the miso suppe is like a hug in a cup. great service and great variety on menu. with one of the dishes too much rice and not enough sauce/meat. and the only other room for improvement is I have always found it super cool in there, so take an additional cardiac. beautiful view of bruntsfield area where you can watch people. we always make ourselves happy and full. can't wait to come back."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"If you have allergies, it's best to avoid Moshimo. Food safety standards are not followed, and the staff is poorly trained in handling allergen orders. A guest who was allergic to wheat was kicked out of the restaurant for questioning why the soy sauce bottle on the table listed wheat as an ingredient, despite being told it was gluten-free. The restaurant failed to provide a list of allergens, and the staff were uninformed about the difference between wheat and gluten allergies. When asking for a manager, one staff member rudely referred to themselves as "babe." The manager was unable to provide an explanation and instead asked the guests to leave. The restaurant's responses to negative reviews shows a lack of accountability. This incident has been reported to the relevant authorities. Overall, the incident highlights the restaurant's poor attitude towards customer safety and legal obligations. Those who have experienced similar issues are encouraged to reach out."

"Booked restaurant by mistake but decided to have a go. Lovely staff. It was our 22nd anniversary but reservation seemed lost. Cocktails were poor.! mine was served in a ceramic black cup and was half full with ice cubes,the kokokura? Dinner was ok its all about a tasting menu but selection was poor. We had to order a lot to be filled up, some dishes were extremely expensive ie:the duck . Not one dish was outstanding or memorable. Service was amazing i did not dislike the reastaurant but as a chef i was disappointed, I've had better Japanese food. For people with little knowledge of food then it's worth a try can't say I would be back."

"I was very much impressed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant dining karaoke rooms are spreads over a number of floors. We were greeted by the friendly staff. A few friends ran late and they were still able to accommodate us. We ordered a number of items and they were all bursting with flavour. The kimchi beef ramen were extremely filling and flavourful. The udon, California roll was also very nice we’re also very nice We then moved in to the karaoke rooms and since they weren’t too busy at that time, they allowed us stay a bit longer. Overall, I would recommend this place especially if you’re looking for a group activity but also somewhere nice to eat. Will definitely be back. 10/10"

"We were not prepared for the flavour journey Kazoku we're taking us on. Beautiful, simply. Divine. Magical. A journey through taste that we haven't experienced before. The plum wine, the serving of the food in intervals, the clinical knowledge the staff had of the food. We would like to personally commend the chefs for allowing us to try their food. We will be back, we would book a hotel just to visit again. Nothing more needs to be said, visit and divulge into what can only be described as brilliant. Congratulations, phenomenal. Thank you."

"My husband and I had an excellent lunch at Sumo . Service was calm and very efficient. We had the very reasonable lunch menu . Both starters were brilliant. Paul had crispy tofu in a tasty sauce and I had crispy chicken wings. They were accompanied by a fresh salad . Paul had chicken ramen which came in a huge bowl and was filled with noodles , veg and sliced chicken . He was asked how he would like the base stock chilli , garlic or plain . He was also able to say how hot he would like the chilli when he chose that option . It was delicious. I had salt and spicy chicken with plain rice . Perfect . Light morsels of moist chicken , sweet onions, peppers and rice done to perfection. We had jasmine tea to accompany and this went well . We saw beautiful sushi dishes going out that were works of art . We have eaten here loads of times and never had anything less than delicious."

"beautiful, light local with many seating. the personal is friendly and the service is fast. there are many vegan options in the entire menu: starter, sushi and hot net. we have a little bit of everything done and everything was delicious. the prices are on the higher side for Japanese eating in edinburgh, but deserves that. I found drinks and alcohol, especially the planted wine very expensive."

"incredibly delicious! we love Oishi-Q! definitiw a place to go back list. we had the fried squid and agedashi tofu for starter - both were very tasty and freshly cooked. for the net we had chicken kaarage with Oishi sauce (Japanese mayo and Tokonatsu sauce) as well as chicken katsu curry. both were served with a lot of huh and I thought the karaage was extremely good fried! to improve, we would have liked to see more soss for the katsu curry when the rice drinks them all up and would like to have a few more nice. Otherwise, one must visit and I will try to spit the yakitori next time as she saw very appealing."

"The first thing you'll see when entering this restaurant is the number of Japanese people eating here. We were the only westerners there! I loved it : The food is like the one I've eaten in Japan. Certain, it is not a cheap place, but I can vouch for them on authenticity (been many times to Japan . Service is ok, there is one girl that's a bit grumpy, but after you come a couple of times she is less. I would recommend to take one of the sets. The fish freshness and quality is outstanding, presentation of the dishes as well, very neat. I come here regularly, worth the trip!They have a private area/room downstairs which you can book and reserve. If you're on a budget, come at lunch time, the sets are very good price-quality. one only negative thing: sometimes the floor is sticky because of the product they use. Ah, and I was expecting a full Japanese toilet, shame they don't have it (they have normal one, of course ! Reserve ahead if you go on a weekend or Friday night."

"Delicious! It was also conveniently right across from our AirBnB. We got chicken gyoza and edamame as starters. My dad got sashimi, I got a black dragon roll, and my husband got the steak. We’re American so eggs in sushi is uncommon for us, but still had plenty to choose from that was more familiar. All very good, we’re keeping it on our list for next time! Service: Dine in"

"We ordered a variety of starters, a sushi and sashimi platter, along with some individual sushi hand rolls. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. The drink selection was sufficient to meet most preferences. The service was both friendly and efficient, striking a pleasing balance between formal and informal. Additionally, the prices are relatively reasonable for central dining, especially considering the quality offered. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Dinner **Price per person:** £50–60 **Food:** 5 **Service:** 5 **Atmosphere:** 5 **Recommended dishes:** Rolls, Sushi Platter"

"While the food was delicious, the chef is quite inflexible. We simply wanted to make sushi rolls with cooked/tempura salmon, like other sushi restaurants offer, but he refused. The service was slow, and the prices were very high for sushi. My advice is to be a bit more flexible with the menu, adjust prices to be more reasonable, and perhaps hire more staff. If you do, you would likely have a full house every night!"

"I have been here and ordered for pick-up/delivery so many times (I've actually lost count) that I feel it is my moral duty to tell everyone about how incredible this restaurant is. First things first, the food: The sushi/sashimi is delicious and it's clear the...fish is carefully sourced. The sushi chefs themselves are greatly skilled. They're quick but the preparation isn't rushed at all. They have a high attention to detail (and the size of the individual pieces you get are very generous). The presentation is also very nice. The same applies for the hot food that I have tried. Their teriyaki, ramen and yaki soba/udon dishes are fantastic (their portion sizes are also very generous). In regards to their dessert, I have only tried their custard dorayaki but it was a lovely dish. The pancakes themselves are soft but with a perfect firmness, with lovely thick custard inside. They provide this dessert with strawberries too. A great mix. The service: all the staff there are absolutely lovely. They are so friendly, attentive and very professional. You get a very warm reception and it feels like a very positive environment. The decor: I'm a big fan of the interior styling, it gives the restaurant a very elegant character. It feels like all the different elements complement each other. It's nicely balanced. Value for money: the prices are extremely reasonable, especially when you take into account the quality of the food and the amount you're given. Delivery: I typically pick the food up myself as I live so close to the restaurant. I typically wait 15 minutes for my food to be ready. To me, that is very quick. Location: it's a very short walk to Archway station and various bus routes. Very good location. Rooms for improvement: this is extremely picky but the one thing I'd improve is the hand dryer in the toilets."

"Obon: a petit Japanese udon restaurant that supplies a sense of Japan that cannot be found anywhere else in the whole of the Uk. (5 stars) Location: Obon is located close to the heart of Kingston but the road it’s on is considerably quieter. You must make sure to have a basic knowledge of Kingston in order to find an area to park and to also make sure you leave yourself enough time, taking the unpredictability of the traffic into acount. Even on a week day there can be traffic jams which can put a halt to your plans and due to the small amount of customers Obon can take its important that you not only book but make sure that you arrive at the agreed booking time. With this being said the staff are all lovely so if you are running late, a quick call is all that is required to just give Obon a chance to understand your position. The food: The array of exquisitely prepared sashimi will be sure to create the sensation that you are in a top Japanese restaurant in japan and the flavour of the fish does not fail to match expectations, which will be very high after just one glance at your meal. The fish is delicately seasoned and practically melts on your tongue, this causes a lovely sensation and is genuinely the finest sushi I have tasted in the uk and even matches a lot of the top restaurants in japan. On top of just the traditional types of sushi, which to many is maki rolls Obon also offers many other delicious options such as soft shell crab and even Unagi don, which I must highly recommend due to it consistently being the highlight of my meal. For those of you that were interested in the quality of the basic Japanese dishes such as miso soup or edamame they do not fail to leave you in grand anticipation for what is to come for they are, simply speaking, incredibly good. The miso, in my opinion, is truly remarkable and creates a lasting feeling of warmth throughout your entire body, on top of that it is far superior to other miso’s that I have tasted in all other areas of the world. Overall the quality of the food is something you would expect from a world famous Michelin star restaurant and if you want Japanese food it’s the only place I can recommend. The Restaurant: The restaurant itself is small but authentic in nature and because it only has a enough tables to host around 20 people at the most, the service is exceptionally good and your food is always out quickly so you will not be left hungry for very long. The staff are kind and friendly. And it’s always an enjoyable experience being waves goodbye as you leave the restaurant. You’re also able to watch as they prepare the food, which for some could be entertaining. There are Japanese photos scattered around the room and this further creates an authentic feel. The atmosphere is not lively but it is a restaurant and not a bar so is an ideal location if you are wanting high quality food. With this being said it is still a great place to go with friends and I consistently am able to have a great time no matter the occasion. Price: Obviously, the price of the food is always an important topic to come to and despite the cost of the sushi being slightly higher than you may expect from a small restaurant in Kingston, I would have to say that for the quality of the food it is ultimately a bargain. For three people, you would be spending around £100 so it isn’t cheap but you can go for cheaper types of food such as udon, which is still amazing quality and won’t set you back as much money. Overall: Obon is still my favourite restaurant in the whole of the Uk and is perfect for a special occasion but it isn’t the sort of place you’d go for a casual night out. The food is beyond incredible and thus they can cater for both children and adults by meeting every bodies needs. For anybody that enjoys sushi, I would urge you to give it a go, you won’t regret it"

"Years since I've been but still very much the same. Usually have a bento box but opted for the lunchtime £20 3 course. Good tempura, excellent beef in a teriyaki, nice ice cream good black cod. Soft shell crab sushi still very good. Nice service good to see they maintained quality after all these years."

"There isn't much to report. We dined at Mai nine years ago, and by chance, we booked a hotel just around the corner this time. Our expectations were not high (you never know how things can change in nine years), but thankfully Mai Sushi is still a simple establishment with fantastic food. Don't anticipate an ornate interior, as that is not typical Japanese style. Just savor the exceptional dishes. A small suggestion to Mai: please ensure that your payment terminal can accept Maestro cards. After all, it is 2022."

"what a great experience. my (Japanese) wife and I went to nishimura to celebrate our wedding anniversary. the personal was really friendly and we felt very well looked around. that was eating quickly and we were getting in, I got on my wife with an eye, worried that eating would not measure. I don't have to worry, she was really excited to have real Japanese food. my food was also delicious. we ate too much, drank a lot of sake and beer and had a wonderful evening. before we left, we ordered a takeaway the next day. We never would have done that."
