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."

"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."

"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."

"really enjoyed the meal, good selection of Japanese dressed and also decent variety got vegetarian. However, the service is not great during the busy time. we came for our reservation at 8:15 at 8:10. we were told that we were early enough to come back in 10-25 minutes. So we came back in 15 minutes and had to wait. then we sat with strangers on the same table because of limited space. halfway through the meal we were offered another table, but it felt then moved in a senseless manner. we didn't get our menus until we asked for 5-10 minutes. then we did not get our drinks until after our food arrived and again we had to ask. I think the personal gets something flowing when it's busy, but they're beautiful and eating made it worth it."

"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."

"Not an usual consumer of sushi, however, Yo sushi has been one of the few places I have been able to enjoy great sushi, and i would even say great food in general. The Kaiten Japanese conveyor belt method adds a new dimension to the consumption, and almost reminds what it would be like having sushi in Japan although i have never been there). I admire the fact that Yo sushi did not only limit itself to serving sushi, but also different variety of food Chicken/beef) The fact the food is cooked then directly processed in the conveyor allows the consumers to access fresh and tasty food. Recommendation: All the food that is chicken related. Very delicious, it is almost as if the chicken melts in your mouth to liberate the fresh flavours. It is almost a paradox that the best chicken that I had in the city was at a place called Yo sushi !"

"I’ve visited this store numerous times. The food is impeccable but the serving staff on the other hand are nothing but the rudest servers I have ever come across. Not once have I been in and not received some form of attitude from the staff. Can’t fault the kitchen staff but the staff on the floor are not fit for customer service. The last time I came was lunchtime and the man who sat us down gave us the lunchtime special menu which states to take the cold items off the conveyer belt. And order the hot food. No one came over to the table to take any orders so I ordered the drinks and hot food items through the qr code. We picked the items that were on the specials menu. When it came to pay the bill, it was more than I calculated so I asked why this was. And the response was nothing but attitude, the man spoke to me like I was stupid and didn’t know what I was talking about. I told him that it said to take off the conveyer belt and said nothing about ordering with a server. I have never been so angry with someone speaking to me like I’m beneath them. I think this store needs to seriously train their staff or replace them altogether"

"What is really disappointing is when you book a restaurant, they email you the day of your booking to confirm only to find that the entire restaurant has closed....!!!! Then, to top things off, Open Table email you to see how your visit was come on guys, get the technology aligned and remember to stop automated emails! A very very poor customer experience."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"I had been waiting for a while for my connection, so I decided to grab a quick snack at Wasabi and ordered the avocado maki. It was absolutely delicious! I appreciated that the soy sauce came in a separate package, which is a great option for those who are celiac and want to avoid it. There are also larger options available for hungry vegans. It was a lovely, quick, and healthy pick-me-up, and the staff were really nice as well."

"As usual the food was superb. Ribs are tender sweet sticky and very tasty. I tried the mango tempura prawn today and it was beautiful as was the snow crab and many other dishes. Highly recommend !!!"
"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."

"The service at this restaurant was very slow, with it taking 20 minutes for the staff to finally take our order. When they did, they made comments implying that our order was not enough, even though we had ordered 3 starters, 3 types of sushi, and Tokyo seabass. The staff were rude and it seemed like they did not want to be there. I would suggest that they hire some friendlier staff to enhance the overall experience. However, the food was excellent and I have no complaints about that. When we requested the bill, it took another 15 minutes for them to bring it to us."

"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."

"Went there this weekend with my family. We ordered all of the sushi and most of the starters and tempura. The hot food was tasty tempura was light and delicious. However, the sushi was a big let down. Having grown up in Tokyo and eaten sushi all around the world I know when sushi is freshly made vs been in the fridge. Although the flavours were nice (disappointingly the jalapeños were not spicy at all) the rice was cold and dense. The food came out within a couple of minutes of ordering it. Clearly pre made, kept aside and waiting to be served probably as part of the set menus. About 10 minutes after the bulk of it was served our final plate of sushi came out which was clearly fresh (not cold or dense). This was disappointing to say the least. Sushi should always be freshly made to order. If it wasn’t in the fridge the rice needs to be prepared better. We will be back for the hot food only! The lemon cheesecake and mango sorbet were delicious too."
