Freshly rolled sushi with a perfect balance of vinegared rice and fresh fish, served with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

"Really great atmosphere and super friendly staff. I always find it nice to hear the Japanese language during a visit. You feel a bit like in Japan. The food was delicious, we like to eat Shabu Shabu here. Great quality and important to us, without artificial additives, at least in our food. The rice cake with walnut and the matcha ice cream are just great. Visiting is usually not cheap, but the quality of the food speaks for itself. Always my pleasure!"

"This restaurant is excellent. The dishes I have tried are beautifully presented, generous in portion size, and delicious. It is clear that a lot of care goes into creating the food and designing the menu. The chefs must be very skilled. I particularly enjoyed the fish dishes and the fantastic rice. The desserts and cocktails are also top-notch and crafted with skill. The restaurant has a spacious and stylish ambiance with beautiful lighting. The staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are very reasonable compared to other kosher restaurants, making it a great place to enjoy a wonderful meal. Overall, a fantastic dining experience."

"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!"

"I enjoyed Umu. My experience of Sushi to date has been primarily high street chains so I was keen to see and taste what difference a top notch Sushi restaurant could make. I wasn’t disappointed. The food is of the highest quality and immaculately presented. The restaurant itself is quiet and quite intimate and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Two reasons for not giving it 5 stars though. One was the building work going on next door which made it impossible to hear each other. To their credit they did go and have a word and it stopped after 10 minutes. The bigger issue though was the price. We did have the taster menu and the wine flight but the total bill was £2200 for 4 of us. Good though the food was, I don’t feel the price was justified."

"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."

"There is a strong online presence of a lunch menu for Kisaku. After confirming what my wife would like me to pick up, I was told upon arrival that there was no lunch menu. There was a similar dish for $12.50 instead of $7.50 on the regular menu. I felt completely disappointed to have traveled there to be offered a 65% price increase. The owner did not apologize. I went elsewhere and will never return. The place was completely empty at 1 pm, and I am not surprised. By the way, Kiasu is a Hokkien word that denotes a selfish and greedy attitude that arises from fear of missing out. I think the restaurant should change its name."

"The story: Two weeks prior, peeking through the restaurant window, I was intrigued to see the kitchen artizans hard at work creating sushi platters that looked vibrant but also elegant. On the 14th November at lunchtime, I was looking forward to trying Kibou as Japanese cuisine is one of my favourites. It's very hard to see the same level of unique variety that Kibou has compared to the few Japanese restaurants I am local to. We wanted to try an array of items and the mini seasonal menu had just been released in time for our visit as well. The food: The Jo Moriawase and New Style Sashimi were great introductions to the first impressions of the quality and range of the dishes available as they were the assortment dishes. Our server provided us with guidance on what we should try first on the Jo Moriawase in order to prevent ending up with eating soggy nori which we appreciated. The Black Cod Nigiri is nothing I have ever tried before so this was also an interesting experience for our tastebuds. My dad has a tough palate to appease but to my surprise, he was satisfied with the Spider Roll Temaki and Chashu Ramen (he thought the pork broth could have been less strong but nonetheless still enjoyed, not like the artificial flavourings you get in an instant ramen if you know what I mean). The Chirashizushi was great for me as I love my sashimi. I didn't realise the yellow portions were actually tamago/egg roll until I tasted it. Some sort of gastronomical wizardry? My mum really lavished the Yaki Udon textures, with the udon noodles having the right amount of nudge needed to chew and biting into the nice crispy outer layer of the tofu. My only regret is not having enough room to try the desserts. Overall, a unique adventure for the tastebuds! The price: If you are extremely budget conscious, perhaps I would not be able to recommend Kibou to you. For a family of three, we were about £40-50 per person. As of my visit, the service charge is 10%. Don't get me wrong though, I think the service charge is fair and reasonable because our experience with the staff we talked to and came by our table were lovely. The atmosphere: Family-friendly but also evening bar feel. Sakura Cherry Blossom and other Japanese-related art themes run throughout the restaurant. The service: We didn't have to wait very long to be seated or served. The waiting staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. The kitchen staff did an amazing job with the food. Would I come again?: Yes, as a treat! Plus I want to try the dessert next time! :"

"Theatre cooking at its best!!. Ate here for the second time last night and can't fault the place. The food and service are some of the best I've had in Glasgow and some other venues should take a leaf out of their training manual for service and pleasant staff. Our chef was hilarious and entertained the kids, whilst still cooking and interacting with the whole table. Defo the place for my 40th later this year. Needs to be experienced at least once. The soft shell crab salad and sushi are outstanding and my ribeye steak was one of the best I've had. great value and just that little bit different!!!"

"Saw the new Bento location open recently on Lothian Road, next to the Greggs. I’d never tried the Southbridge location before but the new one is close to my workplace. Same layout as the older location with food displayed on the left hand side, counter at the back and a few tables on the right side. The main door is really heavy to open. The food seems like it may have sat out under heat lamps for a while. I was wary of the quality of the raw fish so avoided the sushi and sashimi. I opted for an unagi rice bowl which seemed like a decent sized portion. The bowl is deceptive and not as deep as it looks. The rice was barely warm and the unagi (eel) drenched in sauce. There was a weird side of vegetables which looked very much like frozen mixed veg (corn, peas and carrots). Why these vegetables were included in a supposedly Japanese dish I don’t know... The sauce was very sweet and off putting, and because it was on everything I couldn’t finish the dish. Currently doing 20% off at the new location until 6th December as part of their opening offer. My unagi rice would have been around £10 without discount, but I paid £7.96 with the 20% off. I feel like what I received was not worth the money and the quality was not good at all. Thankful I didn’t buy anything full price here give it a miss!"

"The venue is lovely, the music was great and the food was exceptional, however we had a few issues with the service. Firstly, our waiter disappeared after bringing us some of our food and never came back. When I queried it with another member of staff (after waving wildly several times at other staff), he laughed and said oh well you have a new one now . For the prices you pay in a premium venue, this is not good enough. I would have expected a handover before he left. I made him reduce the standard tip from 15% to less than that, as I was not impressed. Secondly, he failed to mention that if you order 4 or 5 things, they all come at the same time and don 't fit on the table, so they nearly knocked our wine off the table trying to squeeze everything in. I would have ordered in batches of 2-3 things if I had been alerted. Lastly, the chairs are also extremely uncomfortable, but when I asked for a small cushion, they didn 't have anything available."

"No soap in disabled toilet. This situation has lasted for months. I informed the manager a week ago, and he promised to sort it out. Yesterday there was still no soap. There is soap in the other toilet, and the dispensers are not broken. So it looks like someone constantly forgets to fill the one in the disabled toilet. Very disappointing to say the least. A disabled child has no possibility to follow elementary hygiene rules."

"I’ve been to Nippon Kitchen many times. I find service is either amazing or poor never in between. The vegan bento box is great value for money and tastes great. Included in the bento box for about £11 miso soup, 3 sushi rolls, veg tempura, 2 dumplings, soy beans, curry and rice. Ordering meals separately, I find is expensive and not worth it. Overall love the restaurant and definitely would go back. Clear, separate vegan menus."

"This was my first visit to the restaurant, and I chose it as a birthday treat. It is an all-you-can-eat buffet, with the only restriction being based on your height, which determines how much you pay but not what you eat. The staff were very welcoming and provided exceptional service. There were plenty of offers, such as 2-for-1 on drinks. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options from around the world. Whether dining with picky eaters or adventurous eaters, there was something for everyone to enjoy. I indulged in four plates full of food and a selection of desserts, despite the disappointment of the ice cream machine being out of order. Overall, I loved the experience and left feeling satisfied, though my belt was groaning. I may spend the rest of the day dozing in an armchair after such a satisfying meal."

"The best sushi place in Cambridge for its price (a meal costs approx. 20 pounds), it is much better than comparable expensive competitors. It tastes really good, and there is no need for wasabi or soy sauce We had the superior sushi set, soft shell crab futomaki, tempura prawn rolls (larger than expected) and vegetables futomaki"

"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)."

"so I needed a quick pick me up after a ...not so great weekend...so I tapped in sushi into the yelp search engine and it brought me here... I would say every Yo Sushi I have been to are all the same...which is a good thing...staff are very attentive...this helps having a button at your table which signals for them to come over...and the menu is plentiful.. I personally love the sashimi ..so I ordered lots of this at once..and grabbed a grey £5 plate full of different types of salmon ..it is better value of money to get the grey plates because if you order maki, nigri and sashimi it would cost you more than £5... This was washed down with hot sake which tastes better heated ..the sake menu is not extensive..offering only two types...but hey what do you expect from a chain... I personally felt quite comfortable having my solo sushi feast,,because I admit when I go for sushi I am not sociable...to talk would give me less time to stuff my face with maki... Overall a very tidy, good atmosphere place to be....you just have to be careful counting the plates as you go along...as Yo sushi is not the most cheapest of places in comparison to such places as Wasabi....and it can be easy to get carried away.."

"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!"
