"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."

"we noticed this beautiful little restaurant after we recently moved to the local opposite and visited last night. we were welcomed by 2 very friendly servers and our selection of tables offered. there is so much to choose without overwhelming the menu. Finally we decided to share the special mixed tempura (prawns, avocado, sweet potato and aubergine deep roasted in a delicious thick teig) and takoyaki (battered octopus balls in yaki sauce with mayo) both appetitzüglers were delicious, but the takoyaki was from this world and I could eat it all day! we both knew that we wanted to ramen, as we had heard, that in contrast to many other Leeds-based restaurants, the ramen here comes with their choice of suppen base; gay, misto, shioyo or cheese and gays and they can also choose which nudels they want; thick udon, thin beech or classic thin egg noodles. we have both settled on the senbon Sakura rays with a squacy soup and rosm noodles – the rug was out of this world, full of tasty grilled hues, frying, salmon, queen roasts and a huge clam. it also comes with nori, a soy marinated egg, early baptism, sesame and wakame seeweed, bohnensprossen and sweet mais. so delicious! after a few bites my man proudly declared that this was his new favorite restaurant in leeds and I agree! the restaurant itself has a really casual and quite traditional Japanese vibe, naked wooden and chairs without kitschige gimmicks and plays really cool, jolly Japanese music. the service was super friendly and fast, we were regularly checked and the dishes were quickly deleted. for 2 nets, 2 starters and 2 drinks, the bill came to £35, which amazing! note that they have no alcohol license yet, but have a good choice of softdrinks and tees. I also look forward to eating and breakfast in the future."
