Such a cozy hidden gem in the centre of Edinburgh! It’s not my first time here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. The food and the service are consistently at a very high level every visit🤩🫶🏻
We dined here on Christmas Eve right after arriving in Edinburgh, and it was such a relief to find a place open during the holiday. The food was beautifully presented and clearly prepared with care. The sushi was excellent, and the sashimi was impressively fresh. The miso soup and mussel dish were a bit on the salty side for our taste, but they did not take away from the overall experience. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, making our first evening in the city a very enjoyable one.
We had a quick meal here while visiting Edinburgh. Our server, Anya, was absolutely lovely — so friendly and easy to chat with, and she really made our experience feel special. The food came out in good time and everything was delicious. We especially loved the truffle edamame — it was so good that we ended up adding a bit of soy sauce to the leftover truffle sauce and used it as a dip for our sushi! Thank you for the experience.
These are, without a doubt, the best sushi in the city. Trust me—I’ve spent a long time searching for good sushi in Edinburgh and have tried absolutely everything. The sushi here is fresh, wonderfully flavourful, and the selection is good. They also offer lovely desserts, smoothies, and a variety of other non-alcoholic drinks. Prices are very reasonable, the tableware is beautiful, and the restaurant itself is small, cosy, and set to gentle, relaxing music. The staff are exceptionally pleasant — the lovely Ukrainian girls who make your visit feel warm and welcoming 💙💛 And Tatiana speaks excellent English! I’m delighted with absolutely everything and will certainly be coming back!
Amazing sushi. They can make most things gluten free! And there are veggie and vegan options. Healthy and delish. Staff are super friendly. Nice and chilled vibe. Highly recommend.
