"I was so excited to go there as the restaurant has excellent reviews. I really wanted to try their sushi even before the pandemic. Disappointing wasn’t sufficient. I don’t consider it’s Japanese restaurant because I don’t think if sushi is served the restaurant is Japanese. There is no Japanese person and no Japanese style service available. Don’t take me wrong, I’m not insisting without Japanese staff it can’t be Japanese restaurant. There is no properly cooked japanese food and all over food quality is very poor. First of all, I can tell with confidence all supposed to warm dishes are just microwaved. As soon as we ordered those dishes very familiar microwave sound started. supposed to be steamed chicken gyoza came floating in water. I can tell those are definitely frozen food from most probably certain Chinese cash and carry wholesale store. Spinach was incredibly tough. It may be good for you if you are on extremely high fibre diet but I felt I had become a cow. Sushi was another huge disappointment. Quality was poor although eatable. But I would rather prefer to eat that quality sushi at one of the famous chain restaurant’s branch in Victoria Street. Because it’d be more spacious and more importantly cleaner. But the worst part was when we ordered CURRY UDON! The waitress didn’t understand what we were asking because she pronounce it CA-RAY UDON and insisted she had asked what we water was noodle in soup. In my opinion even curry udon is noodle in curry soup. But by the time we had realised we made a big mistake and decided to leave as quick as we could, so didn’t argue. And when the bill came we just paid the amount. it stated that ‘no service charge is included’ and some Korean that neither of us didn’t understand. Since we left no tip the waitress suddenly became very rude. She even didn’t bother to say good-bye! I will never go there again and wouldn’t recommend anybody who would like to eat decent Japanese food."

"I was in the mood for some budget-friendly sushi and the reviews for this restaurant seemed promising, so I decided to give it a try. I was also intrigued by the idea of trying their rice burgers. However, I was disappointed to find out that they didn't offer rice burgers on their menu."

"If you want a Japanese delivery with the best classic dishes in Edinburgh, I would say this is the best. I have checked the other Japanese delivery and the menu is not as extensive as this one. I ordered quite a huge selection of food...to have a proper taste of their food. The fish was fresh I have to say. The sushi and the temaki rice are great as well but they tend to put too much rice so the whole thing becomes like a big clump with too much rice. I know the bigger portion the bigger the value but with Japanese sushi and temaki it needs to be moderately supplied to ensure it does not destroy the fresh fish flavour. The fried chicken chicken karaage seems to be a bit on a dry side but they supplied plenty of the chicken for the portion. The agedashi tofu has a harder tofu than I thought but good broth. The soft shell crab tempura was almost not worth it with just 2 or 3 pieces of crab so best to avoid. The only highlight I thought was definitely the Aubergine with Miso Sauce. The aubergine was properly roasted to provide intense flavour and the thick miso sauce really complemented the aubergine. The dishes were clearly prepared with a thought of delivery quick and roughly prepared to mimic Japanese food. I have to say there is definitely room for improvement and they really need to improve on the quality of the food."

"I booked a table for my birthday, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Sitting right at the table provided an incredible experience. It was fascinating to watch the pace and consistency with which the food was prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, even though many of the dishes came pre-prepared. The fatty tuna roll and the omakase are definitely must-tries. Since visiting, I've found that sushi everywhere else seems bland in comparison. I definitely want to come back here. The take-out orders I saw also reflected the high quality of the food."

"Michiko Sushino in Northwest London offers top-notch sushi that has been on my list of places to eat for a long time, and I finally got to visit last week. The menu is concise, making it easy to choose. We started with prawn gyozas, which were a delightful melt-in-your-mouth experience. The food was exceptional; the large salmon set included a wonderful mix of uramaki, nigiri, and sashimi. My favorite dish was the hanabi prawn tempura sushi, and I also thoroughly enjoyed the scallop sushi. Another intriguing option was the egg omelette sushi, which was quite good. The donburi was also excellent, though I found it a bit crispy in parts. To kick off our meal, I had an Aki gin tonic made with Roku gin and lemongrass infusion, which I adored, and we wrapped up with some sake. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, and I highly recommend Michiko Sushino to everyone. If you haven't been yet, or even if you're returning, it's definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I had a fantastic time!"

"I have visited Beni Shoga twice now and had a great experience both times. The tasting menu, priced at £35 per person for 9 courses, is a wonderful option for those who are unsure of what to order. The second time I went, I tried the a la carte menu and was once again impressed by the quantity and quality of the food. The kimchi and pork gyoza were standout dishes, and the coconut ice cream mochi for dessert was delicious. Although I did not try the sushi menu, I would recommend their affordable sakes for those new to sake. The cocktail menu was tasty but expensive, while the beer selection was standard for an Asian fusion restaurant. The service was excellent on both visits, though a bit slow the second time as we were seated far from the bar and kitchen. However, the complimentary lychee sake with dessert more than made up for it. It is worth mentioning that the bill came to around £35 per person for three courses and drinks, which I found to be good value, especially when skipping the cocktails. Overall, I highly recommend Beni Shoga for a delicious and enjoyable dining experience."

"Could not fault any part of my experience at this place. Service was helpful and happy without being overbearing or bothersome. Ambience was fantastic and the food was delicious. Well made with quality ingredients and full of flavour I cannot wait to return to this restaurant and sample more of the delights on their menu."

"I visited twice this year to close it, which was very sad, as the guy there is great and the food he prepares is highest quality. a couple of counters and a small table explains why he is so busy with take-away food. try the spicy thun-fish dragon of only the freshly made sushimi (spelling, which is rugged in the ground, from raw fresh thun-fish so many places have only salmon or garnel. if they like me, they will travel miles to go there and it is a few hundred meters away, the good but pricier tomoe Japanese restaurant"

"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."

"So, recently, possibly the worst thing ever happened. When you hear what it is you'll know how sheltered my life has been. Also just how dramatic I can be. I developed an intolerance to latex fruits...NOOOOOOOOOOO! Ok, so it's not that bad but unfortunately avocados fall into this category. This is why, last Tuesday, in the kitschy surroundings I see in most Edinburgh sushi places, I could be found picking every last piece of avocado out of my meal with chopsticks. It was in everything except my noodles. I started with a green tea and the salad and prawn spring rolls, they were delicious, really fresh and cold in a rice paper round. Difficult to eat though! My first one burst out over the table! Luckily this warned me there was avocado in it so I was thankful I'd made such a fool of myself. For mains I had the breaded pork noodles. Honestly, I wasn't sure if it was pork or chicken which worried me slightly. But the noodles were fantastic and the broth delicious. Lucky for me, one of our party couldn't finish her tuna maki and prawn sushi rolls SCORE! I laid into them, looking like an absolute pig in the process. And then dessert, because there's always room for dessert, black sesame ice cream. Amazing. I'm partial to brown bread ice cream and the texture is very similar but with a subtle sesame taste it was the perfect way to end the meal. The drinks are a bit on the pricey side and there was no coffee. The service here was excellent, though possibly slightly over bearing. It's a small place so they go for quick turnover. The waitresses are always close at hand and keep your glasses full but they also take your plates away immediately and this means the meal is less relaxed and more hastened. As we were interviewing a potential new employee during the meal it wasn't the perfect setting and felt a bit rushed. 5 people, 3 courses, 90 minutes. The toilet is weird, I felt like I was walking up to a pedestal. Overall I enjoyed the meal but wasn't taken by the surroundings."

"Great customer service. I am quoting . All our food is made fresh on site throughout the day Do they literally prepare the fish from whole like they do in Australia and Japan ..do we believe the hype?... I don't know, a lot of you will likely see this and wonder why im not giving them stars....the deal breakers when i visit and if i can see them preparing the food To be continued...."

"Friendly staff, a nice take on traditional Japanese fare. There’s no pressure to eat a full meal, even at lunch time (some students dropped by ate only dessert specials), a nice approach. The edamame beans are delicious, the pork donburi very filling! I suspect the miso soup is made to cater for vegans, it doesn’t have the fatty richness of genuine miso broth made from pork bones; the rice in our dishes was not sticky as it would be in Japan, which made eating it with chopsticks more difficult. Slightly disappointing as Chef appeared to be Japanese! The guys found the chicken teriyaki less filling than my donburi, the chicken udon noodles was enjoyed. The Takoyaki (octupus balls) were the star of the show, tasty representative of the real McCoy! Reasonably priced fast service. One to return to."

"Have visited this restaurant many times and always been impressed with food, service etc. Our last visit seemed to be not up to their usual high standard possibly due to being very busy. Food was slow to arrive there was a long gap between different parts of our main and the drinks arrived after the starters. The wait staff were rushed off their feet but kept their composure and could not be faulted. They did knock 10% off the bill. If we visit again it won’t be on a Saturday."

"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."

"I regret to say that I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. The atmosphere was lacking, with only one other table of diners, and the temperature was uncomfortably cold. The quality of the food was poor and the high prices on the bill only added to our disappointment. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant."

"I’ve visited this store numerous times. The food is impeccable but the serving staff on the other hand are nothing but the rudest servers I have ever come across. Not once have I been in and not received some form of attitude from the staff. Can’t fault the kitchen staff but the staff on the floor are not fit for customer service. The last time I came was lunchtime and the man who sat us down gave us the lunchtime special menu which states to take the cold items off the conveyer belt. And order the hot food. No one came over to the table to take any orders so I ordered the drinks and hot food items through the qr code. We picked the items that were on the specials menu. When it came to pay the bill, it was more than I calculated so I asked why this was. And the response was nothing but attitude, the man spoke to me like I was stupid and didn’t know what I was talking about. I told him that it said to take off the conveyer belt and said nothing about ordering with a server. I have never been so angry with someone speaking to me like I’m beneath them. I think this store needs to seriously train their staff or replace them altogether"

"a no annoying and no cost saved taking into a greatcross with at least one scottish premiership footballer a regular visitor for the vegetarian pizza I told. the service is friendly, although the man who works there is on himself and he can sometimes grumble a bit, but after a few visit he recognizes them and he will talk to them and he evaluates his regular customers. the thunder wood zone and the chicken parody are the two recommended of me for this takeaway, although the pizzas are also a beautiful choice. my friend had the burger, but described the hühnerburger as tasting cheap, but the rindfleischburger was in order. a good choice to finish a night, especially with a few bars and the Lava/Ignite nightclub placed close by."
