"What a beautiful Japanese culinary experience! I started with edamame, spinach sesame, chicken gyoza, Japanese omelette, and inari, all of which were perfect and delicious. The spicy salmon, tuna fish avocado, and shrimp tempura were also excellent. I couldn't pick a favorite because everything was so tasty with fresh seafood. Service was quick and attentive. For my main course, I had chicken katsu with rice and teriyaki chicken donburi. The katsu was perfectly fried and one of my favorites, while the donburi brought me the authentic flavors of Japan. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food and hospitality. I will definitely be visiting again!"

"Real mixed bag. We had 4 starters and the Sunday dinners (Chicken and beef). First the bad, the chicken thogh meatballs were shocking. No flavour, tasted sour, really bad. Tempura prawns were OK, but 4 prawns for £10 is really poor value. The seaweed that came with the prawns was chewy and not Crispy. Burnt ends and Sriricha ribs were good. Sunday dinner was really good. Meal type: Dinner"

"We chose to dine in, it had seating but it's predominantly a take-away service so there were three tables to choose from. The service was quick and polite, with food being freshly made. We arrived not long after Umami opened, so the staff serving made sure the table we at was wiped down and clean for us. The food was said to be out roughly 15 minutes from ordering but it came out quicker than that. My sister ordered teriyaki tofu bento with duck oishi steamed buns (eyes bigger than her belly! Whilst I had tempura aubergine with vegetable gyoza. My sister enjoyed the bento buns, flavouring was lovely, generous amount of everything! She almost fell in love with the buns after one bite and her inner gollum came out. The tempura was very hot, but light enough to not feel stuffed as was the gyoza, pleasant and definitely able to enjoy everything. Vegetarian options: There was plenty to decide from regarding the vegetarian choices, from each section there was at least one choice to have Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes: Vegetable Tempura Recommendation for vegetarians: Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection"

"Welcomed by Jasmine on our arrival and promptly seated, despite the fact we were early! Jasmine and Kelly took very good care of us throughout, which was great because we had no idea what we were doing! Jasmine was able to advise on dishes and beverages which was really helpful. Food and drinks arrived promptly, and the food was perfectly cooked, looked fabulous and tasted delicious. Prices were reasonable and the menu has a good selection to suit most people. Highly recommended!"

"I cannot recommend this place enough. Me and my fiancé actually came here on our 1st date, so of course 1yr later we had to return as we loved it so much. If you want top quality but affordable sushi this is the place to go to. Our bill came upto nearly £100 this included drinks as well. Really cute and chilled place, the staff are helpful and friendly. You don't have to wait long for the food. I would say though that the tables are not big enough to fit multiple things on there once you have your drinks there, condiments and 2 plates its already tight. So we only ordered 2 dishes at a time and took breaks. If you like to eat alot like we do then save it for a special occasion as £100 isn't just a normal day expenses, but if you are a 2,3 plates kind of person it is a lovely place to go for a meal. An example of costing we ordered a pink lady (8pcs) £12.95 for top quality sushi that is value for money. Can't wait to go next year for our 2 year anniversary!"

"My second visit here after 2 years, food is still good in quality. The reason I didn’t give 5 star is because I think this Japanese restaurant is like an average Japanese restaurant we can find in Asia. Food is good quality. Service is good as well. The sukiyaki, Godzilla roll, beef rice are equally good. Will definitely come back again."

"I finally visited this little noodle bar that had been on my list for a while now . Nestled in the bustling streets of the city, this hidden gem proved to be a delightful surprise. The menu featured a delectable array of Asian delights, and I couldn't resist ordering a trio of dishes that I'd been longing to savor. The first bite of the Nasi Goreng took my taste buds on a whirlwind journey of flavours ! It was a burst of Indonesian authenticity on my palate. Next up, the Singapore style vermicelli noodles and oh, what a treat they were! Delicately stir fried, they boasted a harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors, interspersed with succulent shrimp and fresh vegetables. The portion size was generous, ensuring that I savored every bite until the very last noodle. To complete my feast, I ordered the salt pepper chicken wings, and they turned out to be a revelation. The wings were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. Each bite offered an addictive blend of saltiness and a hint of spice, making them an absolute must try for any chicken wing enthusiast. The service was impeccable. The staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the dishes they served, which added an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. One of the staff member suggested we try the Singapore style vermicelli and it was a banger ! In summary, this charming noodle bar exceeded my expectations in every way. It's the perfect spot for those seeking an intimate dining experience and an explosion of Asian flavors. If you're a fan of Nasi Goreng, Singapore style vermicelli noodles, and salt pepper chicken wings, you simply can't afford to miss this hidden gem. I left the restaurant with a heart full of satisfaction and a belly full of unforgettable flavors. I can't wait to return and explore more of their tantalizing menu. Don't hesitate to visit; it's an experience worth savoring! You get a 10% student discount if you pay in cash ! :"

"Not local to this area, I chose this restaurant from the consistently excellent Tripadvisor reviews, and we were not disappointed. For starters we had the salt pepper squid, which was tasty and cooked just right. For our main courses we had Lamb Bunny Chow and Cyder battered fish chips. The fish was haddock, my preference, which was moist and very nicely cooked in a light crispy batter which wasn’t greasy. The accompanying side dish of onion straws was lightly seasoned and very nicely cooked, which made them very tasty. The Lamb Bunny Chow was very tasty, and such a large portion, that we took the unfinished remains home with us. The vanilla crème brulee was delicious and had the light crispy top that a brulee should have. The service was very good, from friendly and helpful staff. We had a table for two with two funky comfortable wing backed chairs. It was quiz night, but we had considerately been placed in an area separate to the main quiz area, so that we were not overpowered by the event. However, we did have a go at answering the questions ourselves, which was fun. The overall décor is a rustic style, with comfortable dining chairs which I appreciate. We will definitely visit again when next in the area."

"The service at this restaurant was disappointing. I had to wait longer than usual for my takeaway order, and noticed that three dishes had been sitting on the bar for at least 10 minutes before I had to inquire about them."

"This restaurant is a great place to visit. I would highly recommend it. I went there on Friday, March 18th, 2022 for lunch and received excellent table service. The drinks were delicious, the food was incredible, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The rolls were so delicious that I ended up ordering more. Everyone in my group was very satisfied. The restrooms were clean and the dining areas were hygienic. The table accessories at Bone Daddie's were very useful. I definitely plan on returning sometime in the future."

"Overall a bit strange. We were early before they opened so to kill some time my friends got a coffee next door. But then weren’t allowed to have the coffee at the table outside…? Just seems a bit picky for a restaurant that was not very busy. Since we were outside we had to pay for the meal before it arrived. Not a big deal just felt all a bit weird and sterile. Ambience feels commercial and the food was a bit bland—ramen was lukewarm. Wouldn’t return…"

"I lived in japan for many years and I think I know my riddles. After I grew up in san francisco, I know my total and in the rule when I go to an Asian restaurant and there are only gaijin there working and eating there, I run for the exits. I can't say that the actual broth at tonkotsu was bad. but I felt that the noodles were hard and undercooked, and there was not enough of them (and I was disappointed, there was no reusable option this day and age of gluten consciousness.) my point is, there was not enough of anything in my bowl: even after adding an egg I came ruvenous. just not eating enough. I have probably eaten 1,000 bowls of rammen in my day and rammen should come in a big generous bowl. that was like an LA menu interpretation. who has hunger at all should avoid this place or just order a few bowls of ram (although this is not the point of having ramen.) also the way they calculate it here is outputting. apparently, tonkotsu does not make enough money, so under the cover of social distancing they need to put their CC number in their system and order online. no personal has to talk to you. the personal has no idea what they have ordered, and it doesn't matter. there are no greetings irasshaimase screaming from the workers like in shoryu (and in japan); this 100% European team could not pronounce it! the employees do not even know what is on the menu and continue to point to the online order scan thing when they ask something. I'm sorry, tonkotsu, I'm not back. worth for money and total experience were missing both."

"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."

"pleasant event with beautiful, quiet seating in the upper floor. faster service, friendly staff. unfortunately, much of the food was too salty for our taste and some of the aromen were not as pleasant as we hoped (for example, the klean-katsu has far too much ingwer; the rams are very...Salty even by ramen standards)."

"The food was absolutely delicious. The service was good and the prices are a little steep but well worth it. We both ordered the pork ramen and found the portions were generous and ordered the chicken gyoza and takoyaki both fresh and piping hot. We also ordered some sparking sake which was delicious. The staff were eager to help. I do recommended booking ahead of time as we did and our table was nicer than those who just walked in. A lovely hidden treat though!"
