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

"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."

"I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was mediocre overall. While the calamari was good, the sirloin was chewy and the beef taquitos tasted like spaghetti bolognese. The music was blasting, making it hard to hold a conversation. The service was incredibly slow. On the plus side, the drinks were tasty. There are many other better dining options to choose from."

"Had a nice meal here. Ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box which was a lot of food. Lots of different things so pleasantly surprised. Couldn't eat all of it. Comes with a soup too. Reasonable price so happy. Seemed like a nice venue. Saw people working there or just having coffee and cafe. The only thing that let it down was the dirty cutlery and grubby toilets. The tap water was taken from a tray of already poured glasses of water uncovered so I wasn't too keen on drinking it. Service is included in bill. Not keen on that either tbh, I always like to leave my own tip for service. The restaurant is located in the Green Rooms which is an hotel."

"the sushi is great and up to standard. the sashimi fish is fresh and fair enough. the staff are friendly and attentive. only an unusual common problem, always from hot objects when I visit this place."

"Service was very gracious. My leg is currently in a cast, and I arrived by wheelchair. The waiter helped us manoeuver over the step into the restaurant and around some of the tight corners. The waiter very helpfully prevented us from over ordering by suggesting we hold off on getting tempura until the rest of the food had arrived. We indeed didn't need the tempura after all. The tiny restaurant wasn't crowded at Monday lunchtime. There two other couples and a little group of Japanese businessmen. Our orders arrived very swiftly and the yakitori was kindly held back while we munched happily on salad and maki rolls. We shared maki rolls (salmon skin, california, spicy tuna) as well as yakitori and wafu salad. Attention to detail on the maki rolls was really impressive. For one thing, the rice was at the correct temperature. All too often, sushi rice is served too cold. The compression of the rice was just right too. Not falling apart when dipped in soy, but not noticeably compact either. The tuna in the spicy maki rolls had a beautiful texture and was a nice uniform cut. No scruffy scraps in the maki rolls here, which is all too often the case elsewhere. The tobiko in the california rolls was generous and there was flesh as well as skin in the crispy salmon skin rolls. Portion sizes for the wafu salad and chicken yakitori (not grilled over charcoal) were both generous. Both good, but otherwise not particularly remarkable. For dessert we shared mochi ice cream. We had one piece each of green tea, vanilla and chocolate, though we were offered a choice. The chocolate was stunning, being of good quality dark bitter chocolate, rolled in cocoa. Next time we will have three chocolate mochi, thank you. All of the flavours were pleasant though, and not overly sweet. Dessert was garnished with fresh berries and small slices of rice crispy square containing a little black sesame. In summary, we had high quality sushi that was priced accordingly. For those not constrained by office lunch hours I would urge people to take the 20% discount offered in the afternoon between 14:00 and 17:00. If I had taken the price more into account I would have rated Miyako 3.5 instead of 4. Wine is exhorbitant, with the cheapest white priced at £26 a bottle."

"Wonderful food as always, with finest ingredients immaculately prepared and served by Jenice and the team. Japanese is never cheap but at least with Suhinoen you can taste the quality and value. Would and regularly do recommend for lunch or dinner and no one is ever disappointed and it usually becomes a favourite of theirs too. There is bar code ordering (very Japanese) but just have a word when you get there as you can still just order from the waiting staff."

"I've loved Itsu a lot over the years especially their Thai Chicken Curry and Rice.I ate early afternoon. The food was warm but not pipping hot and the salt content was a bit too much. It may be just this store. Will definately eat more of it in the future."

"Bar Salsa is definitely going to become a favourite place of mine to visit on a regular basis. I discovered it two weekends ago whilst exploring Soho, Covent Garden and Leicester Square with a friend. We were keen to catch up and so wanted to find a bar to sit down and have a relaxing drink. We were attracted to Bar Salsa instantly due to its vibrancy and fairy lights (very girly I know but they really would look lovely in the evening too! We went into the bar which set alight your senses. You just don 't know where to look! It has chic furnishings and quirky murals/paintings on the walls which were so bright and vibrant! Being a creative pair we were became very intrigued by the venue and took a look around downstairs. Downstairs was the 'club/bar ' area very dim let with an array of lights (even disco lights on the dance floor featuring different levels of flooring. It was so exhilarating; we instantly wanted to return on another occasion especially after we discovered they offer salsa nights for minimal money. The thought of dancing away to the Spanish club music soon became too much for us and we decided to return later on with boyfriends in tow (of course they wanted to salsa who wouldn 't?! . We ordered a bottle of wine to share which was good value for money. They also informed us that it would soon be happy hour and all cocktails would be at least half price! We were definitely staying! We sat in the outside courtyard in the sun which was lovely. The ambiance was great with people chatting away, we didn 't even notice the big, busy main road next to us! Happy hour soon arose and we ordered two cocktails at the downstairs bar. These were delicious, some of the best cocktails we had ever had! If we hadn 't had to have left to meet my friend 's boyfriend we would have stayed in there all evening! We did return in the evening but unfortunately didn 't enter as entry price rises after 9:00pm. Although highly disappointed by this we will no doubt return! I rated the Salsa bar a 4.5, we had a delightful experience but we are yet to experience the club and salsa.I definitely recommend any upbeat, easy going person to visit especially if they love music, dancing and cocktails!"

All over the place, not clean and food quality is low Expensive considering other places around, quantities served and quality.. Won 't return Blonde young lady was friendly"

"great service and good food. very enjoyed the bao bungalows chose crab and they were delicious (also a funny challenge to eat due to the sheer size.) the wood meat was good. not sharp on the dumplings, as they were quite wet, she did not personally enjoy sitting in kondiments. please with the panna cotta dessert. I would also like to stress the service of a certain person who was friendly enough to first check that the tellers were finished before they were taken away, this was very appreciated and saved the abhorrence of most other experiences where the meals are taken away before they are finished."

"Looking for a Portuguese restaurant for some home flavour food and found this restaurant online. Tried the Francesinha which is a very typical plate in Porto and was one of the best I ever hate (and the cooker is from Funchal, which makes it even more surprising : Good diversity on the menu, just missing a more affordable house wine! Restaurant has a nice decor and staff was very pleasant and always available. To the restaurant manager please update the cost of food on the online menus as they don't match what you have on your in house menu."

"Personal thoughts on experience 8.5/10 Generally, all cooking methods executed without fault. No meats were dry; neither under nor overcooked. Some interesting twists were attempted, and pulled off, but were not spectacular. Not quite out there enough perhaps, but that is my personal preference for the hints of flavours to be quite apparent. The components of the dish sometimes did complement each other, but not always in harmony, and there was a feeling that they were quite often different segments of a dish, rather than one collective dish. Happened to go on a beautiful day, very sunny, with the light streaming in through the window to our table, which I certainly enjoyed, and made the experience better! Tom, one of the co founders of Picture, was there on the day, and he was very cheerful, and a bit cheekily humourous, which made the experience more enjoyable for me! Recommended if If you are looking to try some interesting twists on British cuisine, at a pretty relaxed atmosphere."
"really fought in online to be booked via the phone and by email. no spots online for the next 5 weeks (which seems unlikely) no answer on the phone and got only one email answer tags after. determined to try to walk foot and get happy before 4 o'clock when they stop going into. although he waited for a server to come to us at the door. Once we have set ourselves, we have ordered ourselves via QR code, the menu appears smaller than what is shown online. the food arrived quickly and was very tasty. small portions have to order quite a bit to form a normal size meal."

"Great food!! Fast serving! I never try any Korean food in Korea before so I can’t comment whether it’s authentic but compare to other Korean restaurant in London I must say the food here is surprisingly good. We are vegetarian and their menu is good enough to fit our taste. The seaweed wrapped with glass noodles is delicious and tofu stew is wonderful. It’s a very tiny restaurant with very few tables for eat in but I think it’s worth waiting for a little while for a good food like this. I will definitely come back again."

"visited with friends on a very busy Saturday night, fortunately our friends had booked a table. I sat at the right time after getting drinks at the bar (please disappointed, only in the position to get a refillable softdrink for £2.99, of which I actually did not refill so much expensive for 1 drink.) foyer was a bit strange when people just wait for tables. decor was a very high standard throughout, toilets were immaculate. the staff was very efficient and helpful, there were many choices in the kitchen, but would have been better to show signs on the different kitchens. the layout of the restaurant is initially a bit confusing, especially with the amount of people going to get over eating, they feel that they might be missing one opposite outside. However, the ability to go as many times as they want is good, they then have time to sue the food. the whole food was very hot and delicious. Never seen so many pudding selections before, I liked it bit-sized, so she could try different without stacking her teller. the place was loud, but the tables were not packed into so much space. all in all a good experience, would not be anywhere where I would visit regularly only due to the amount of food offered, be not something they want to do every weekend! but would definitely come back here. very good idea to have turrets who check their reception to ensure that they have paid. due to the size of the place there are not many possibilities to ensure that the people have paid before they go. all places that I have before the fact that they pay until they go, but I think there are chancellors who try to go without paying."

"Below average. The food was, at best, ok. Little flavor. Half the people on our table didn 't finish their dishes because they didn 't enjoy it. My tagliatelle Alfredo was supposed to have a 30 yo Parmesan cheese but I could not taste any Parmesan at all. The waiter that was taking our orders seemed annoyed, or tired, or something else, but showed no interest in being pleasant. The restaurant is nicely decorated tough. I wouldn 't recommend this restaurant based on our experience today."
