"What a place! I was here with a friend who never tried Japanese food, so I investigated a bit and Bentoya seemed the best. And I was right. The place itself is an island of calm in bustling Edinburgh; the decor makes you really feel like you are in Japan, so tranquil. Very clean. The menu offer a wide choice of typical dishes: sushi, sashimi, wagyu, takoyaki, goma, ramen, poke, donburi... Sake e other liquors. We had a selection of dishes, and they were all outstanding. The fish was fresh and melt-in-the-mouth, wagyu outstanding, rice fragrant, vegetables crunchy and flavoursome... You just can't fault this place. I particularly loved aubergine goma, a not very easy dish to find in Scotland. I was very pleased. Sushi tasty and well presented, as the sashimi. Reasonable prices too: 7 dishes, sake, and sochu all came at about 57 pounds each. Please check it out. Friendly staff and spotless toilets."
