"First When we came inside the door the smell almost made me turn around and go out again. Not What I was expecting. The sign says ”Fine Japanese Dining” Hmm, not What I call fine. The place looked a bit shabby. Okay there was people sitting and eating and we thought Well give it a try, now when We are here. The ordering procedure with an app was akward so we skipped that. The kind waitress helped us instead and gave us fast service. Service was good. We ordered a 40pc sushi platter and a meat main dish. The main came before the sushis. Food was ok not more so we concentrated on drinks instead. 4pax food, drinks a snap at 140£. I am used to at least Triple that amount on a 4pax dinner. We left and had coffe, dessert etc at another place in town. Again you get What you pay for and conclusion this was good Bang for the buck."

"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."

"Not much options on the food menu for selection but the appetisers are good. The soysauce cucumber can get a bit too salty, but is nice. The spinach with sesame is definitely a hit and the fried tofu is good. I'd go for the unagi as it was well cooked. Environment wise is nice. Very quiet during weekdays and the food is quite authentic. Dont forget to try the mille crepe matcha cake. Its thick and creamy. The only thing I didn't like was the Asian waitress had quite the attitude. Was not knowledgeable in Japanese food to be able to answer my questions and acted cocky when answering wrongly. Was also a bully towards my European friends when she kept pushing them to tell them what kind of green tea they wanted when they didnt know the difference between the three oh and I was hushed by her when I tried to explain what the difference was to them. It wasnt rush hour either since we were the only ones dining there at the time. Rude and unpleasant despite the food being good. The environment is amazing though. The top floor is neat and tidy it feels cosy and the bar is a great place to dine at as it has hooks. Downstairs is a bar, not sure if it has opened up but definitely quite well done."

"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."
