"I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant and finally decided to go with some friends. I enjoy the concept of choosing your own dishes, but it can get pricey if you're not careful. Overall, I loved most of the food and had a great time. I gave it a 3.5 rating mainly because of the enjoyable memories made with my friends."

"This is a review for the take away only, I haven’t been inside the restaurant. The delivery was smooth and the sushi was amazing. The sashimi fish was top quality and so fresh! Miso soup was good too. There was a sushi burrito wish was delicious. Definite top sushi place in the city centre."

"I was here on Saturday night and had the most amazing food! my favorite Appetiser court had to be the catifi prawns that were by far the best prawns I had in a long time, I had to stop to order more! Shortly followed by the grilled aubergins that tasted like erdnusbutter and seetang! for the net I was melted away from the black cadry and truffles! then the sushi wore the foie gras was extraordinary! Last but not least the cocktails overtaken by the barman was super well known and made me a gin-based martini! overall we had an incredible evening with excellent eating and great service! I will definitely come back to this new little shade I have discovered!"

"The restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables. However, the service was quite slow and a few of our favorite menu items were not available that night. If we had been informed of this beforehand, we would have chosen to dine elsewhere. The staff were friendly, but it was unclear why the service was so slow, especially since the restaurant was not very busy and there appeared to be enough waitstaff in place."
"I was appalled about the quality of the service from the moment I arrived at the moment when I left what was when I arrived, I was not asked if I wanted a drink, and I was not asked about the whole meal. the waitress should have seen on the table that we only had water and asked if we wanted a drink. then we ordered our first round hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minute for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. at this point in the evening there were three complete tables throughout the restaurant, so I thought the time we had to wait was bad. then the food began to come, but it didn't come quite. a few dishes came and then a few more and a few more afterwards. that meant that we didn't all eat together, we all ate at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they did not arrive at the same time. very disappointing. the third order of hot food was beyond a sweat. it was clear that one of the two waitresses did not feel very comfortable (I heard one of the chiefs who told her to go home) she was our waitress. So we ordered the third round hot food. minutes later, we hadn't had our food yet. in this time the cook spoke with the sick waitress. then I pressed the help button and I explained that we had ordered something to eat and waited a long time. then I look at the waitress and the cook and it was absolutely clear that the order did not go through so that it was only then that the food started to cook. the waitress who took the order explained that there were many problems and it was sorry for her. as a customer who paid for a meal, I did not care about the problems, I still expected a good service and my food to turn. overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not visit this restaurant again and I will not recommend the restaurant to everyone."

"Lovely spot for an eccelctoc mix of Japanese tapas. We had the bottomless food and drinks which were good value for money it might have been quite expensive if we ordered a la carts. The hot dishes are delicious and the sushi also hits the spot, although wasn’t the best I’ve ever had The best thing however was the service, Arnold was attentive and quick to answer our questions. Overall a fab evening and service did not disappoint."

"My family of five dined at Kouzu while on vacation. Each of us felt a very strange vibe at Kouzu. We were seated in a corner of the first level by a woman who then took our drink orders. There was only one or two other tables filled. My son ordered a soda—a coke. She said they didn’t serve any soda in the restaurant. Really? So he instead ordered a water. She proceeded to bring a large bottle of water that she opened in front of us. I asked what it was—that he wanted just a tap water in place of the soda they didn’t carry. The server then left the table. Another gentlemen came around and sort of took over. I asked him why they didn’t carry any other drinks except water—he said oh we have lemonade coke, Diet Coke etc. The next strange thing was the menu. They gave us ample time with the menu and when they came to take our order I asked what a certain thing was—he said oh that’s a priz five menu that’s different! This menu has never been passed out to us. This was a sushi restaurant and what is nice—and needed quite honestly—is a rundown of each item as it’s placed on the table, as the majority of us ordered a la carte. This didn’t happen. I will say the food itself was delicious, however, the strange vibe we got coupled with the sizable price tag would deter me from patronizing this restaurant again if given the chance."

"Oh my goodness, what an amazing find in Finnieston! The restaurant isn't very big, but we were lucky to get a table early on. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. My colleague ordered the chicken katsu and I had the beef bulgogi. The portions were so generous that I struggled to finish my meal. It's definitely enough to share when you order an extra side of rice. The food was delicious and I highly recommend it, especially if you're in the area or at the SEC (a short 15-minute walk away). It's well worth a visit."

"When you around in Covent Garden you try something to eat at this little cute place! Delicious fresh food and a fantastic collection of pastry of all kinds together with very good coffee. The place is usually quite growded but has also a sitting area downstairs."

"Absolutely loved it. Service was fast enough even thought they were really busy. We have booked out table in advance but we had to sit on the bar table right next to window. It was a bit annoying but it wasn't big issue. We ordered Ebi Bites, edamame beans as starter. and we have ordered a selection of sticks scallop, chicken, beef, mushroom. I found the beef one a bit dry but scallop sticks were delicious. For me the start of the day was Ebi Bites. Little cute surprises in your mouth. We also tried some hosomaki's little sushies. they were fresh and so tasty. We had white sweets as a dessert. It was so delicious. Not too sweet. Somehow there was a delicate balance between the flavors. I haven't eaten yuzu curd before and it was worth to try! Popped rice was an interesting one. You should definitely try that. Food comes with nice, stylish plates, trays and bowls. The music at restaurant was a bit loud but it compliments the overall city style."

"There aren't plenty of suitable options for vegans so hopefully you’re not too hungry as quantities are quite small. We ordered a few tapas (bang bang cauliflower, vegan red dragon roll, chunky chips) and some cocktails. It's a nice place for a date for example or if you're more thirsty than hungry, although it won't be cheap. Food was okay but not amazing, it's not the type of place I would go regularly if I have other options nearby."

"This restaurant is a true hidden gem, comparable to some of the best Japanese restaurants I have been to. I would choose to dine here over those top restaurants any day. The food is exceptional, with generous portions that maintain a high quality, making it great value for money. The cozy and intimate atmosphere provides a peaceful space to unwind and savor delicious food with sake."

"This restaurant serves the best sushi we have ever had, and we have tried sushi from all around the world. We just finished our meal a few minutes ago and I was so impressed that I felt inspired to write this review right away."

"We stayed two nights upstairs at the Clerk and Well, and had a VERY mixed experience. We arrived a bit early and had lunch, with our luggage next to our table at the bar server 's direction . The staff seemed resigned to helping us, as if we were interrupting their day. Except for the manager, who was very very nice indeed. Lunch was pretty standard pub food and was quite good. When we went up to our room, we had to go outside, enter a separate door from the pub and go up 40 quite narrow and steep stairs. Luckily, the staff took our heavy luggage up. The room was quite nice fairly large for a London hotel and lots of outlets always crucial . BUT There were two of us. The breakfast supplied was: 1 yogurt, 1 muffin, 1 fruit cup, 1 milk, and 1 orange juice. We were told we could request more. There was no outlet in the bathroom except for a shaver, and our converters would not work in it. On the morning we left, I went downstairs at 9 AM to get some assistance with our luggage; I assume they had a lift in the back for such thing. Also, I wanted to check out. But the pub was closed and there was no help nor a number to contact, so our luggage went down the stairs like sleds. We have stayed in hotels and pubs all over England so we 're accustomed to the problems with old buildings narrow stairs, etc.. In short good food, good pub, nice room, mediocre service."

"I don't usually leave bad reviews for restaurants because it's someone's business (I think I've only done so once before ...... but this meal was SO exceptionally disappointing. The decor of the restaurant is really cute and welcoming, but that's about it. The rice in all our sushi was overcooked and wet, so that it felt stodgy and frankly just unenjoyable to eat (especially because they used so much of it per sushi piece to bulk out the mass. At one point I thought to myself, sadly, that chain shop sushi tasted better and cost 1/3 the price... Like the rice was sticking to the plate when you tried to lift it, because of how wet it was. The fish slices were thin and poorly flavoured (the negi toro in particular didn't taste fresh to me . And to top it all off we waited an hour for our food and only got it after prompting the staff who were individually lovely to us, but seemed overworked and stretched thin. I would not recommend coming to this restaurant; as an Edinburgh resident I feel there are other Japanese restaurants in the city that offer better taste and value for money. I rarely get so disappointed after a meal that I feel have to tell someone, but this place finally did it I guess!!! Such a saddening taste experience for the cost."

"The restaurant was closed and no one contacted us. We had planned to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday there, so we were really disappointed. Thankfully, we found Sushinoen, a restaurant just a 13-minute walk away, which saved our night. The Japanese food was amazing and authentic, highly recommended. We will not be trying Kirin restaurant again and do not recommend it to anyone."

"great service and good food. very enjoyed the bao bungalows chose crab and they were delicious (also a funny challenge to eat due to the sheer size.) the wood meat was good. not sharp on the dumplings, as they were quite wet, she did not personally enjoy sitting in kondiments. please with the panna cotta dessert. I would also like to stress the service of a certain person who was friendly enough to first check that the tellers were finished before they were taken away, this was very appreciated and saved the abhorrence of most other experiences where the meals are taken away before they are finished."
