Bowls in Edinburgh, City of

I've been here 2 years ago already. And it tastes so good every time I come here. On the photo: Japanese fried udon with mixed veggies

I forgot the dish name but I loved it. Nice staff.small and cozy place ❤️❤️❤️

Disappointing food. Ordered pork Udon on with vegetables and what came back was rubbery bacon, packet noodles, badly cooked frozen beans and some soy sauce. Not Japanese quality at all.

Don't get me wrong the bowls were delicious, however, there was a huge difference between our two bowls in terms of portion size. My partners was easily double the quantity of mine. And for £30 it doesn't feel like money well spent, not when we went to Sainsbury's the following day and felt like minus the pickled cabbage the Sainsbury's poke bowl tasted very very similar and was a fraction of the price.

Fresh, good quality and taste is great too

Koreans should not go.. If you are Korean, it will cost less than 1,000 won.

Had the Japanese beef curry bowl recently and was pretty tasty, although mostly rice, so not brilliant value for £12.50

The food is fine. But very overpriced. I mean bowls are already kind of overpriced for being fancy salads but in this case the portion was kind of small and generally quite underwhelming.

The food looked absolutely nothing like the pictures. It tasted so bad that we couldn't eat it!

Quick lunch spot with plentiful portions, kind staff, a fresh interior and a reasonable priced menu. The ocean poke bowl is wonderful.

Delicious bowls!! Vegan and gluten free options available

The beef udon is vastly overpriced at £12.50 for 3 small pieces of beef and a very small bowl of noodles. Pity as the location is good, and the first impressions convey the food will be good quality, which it is not. Very poor value for money and better alternatives nearby.

The unagi bowl was delicious. Have eaten it many times in Japan and this place rivals it. The Korean bowl was also excellent. Maybe not the best seats, but hey, this is a small joint.

Priscilla went out of her way to help me organise a lunch for my client at the office. The service was A level. My clients loved the food said. They said it was healthy yet tasty. Absolutely recommend them

No better place for poke bowls in Edinburgh. No point in going anywhere else. Outstanding team as well. Incredible ingredients. Got to shout out the Vegan Korean Poke Bowl with spicy mayo. You'll never stop thinking about it.

I tried the Japanese fried udon with beef to take away. Portion size on the smaller side, sparing with the beef, tasted OK but not delicious.

Lovely place to enjoy tasty japanese bowls. The service is kind and helpfull.

I had lunch here on my visit to Edinburgh. I struggled to choose what to have but went with the classic poke and had no regrets! The food was DELICIOUS and fresh. The staff were very friendly and the service was fast. I ate in the shop, of where there is plenty of space for a wheelchair and I’m only a tiny step/ ledge in the doorway. They were also dog friendly, so I was able to sit and enjoy my lunch with my four legged travel companion!

Reasonable food. A bit-overpriced for the serving size.

Priscilla cuts corners, serving high priced poor tasting food. Don't believe me, go check the other reviews. Positive reviews are from staff, friends and family.

The best with the best food and impeccable service

Very tasty and fresh food. A little more expensive for the portion size and disposable cutlery, hence 1 star deducted.

Wow absolutely yummy, worth the money

Such a cute little cafe with delicious food. I enjoyed the slaw salad and added chicken. Their menu sounds so great and wish I could have tried more of their other food. Thanks for a great lunch:)

The Korean kimchi poke bowl was, without a doubt, one of the best poke bowls I've ever eaten. I'd move to Edinburgh just to have it again!

Great selection of noodles and poke bowls. Recommended.

Overpriced, the poke bowls are mostly rice

Des gyozas au poulet à tomber par terre, les meilleurs que j'ai jamais mangés jusqu'à maintenant. Croustillants sur les bords, moelleux et gouteux aussi. Je reviendrai pour goûter les gyozas aux légumes !

In a crowded city, it's always nice to come to this quiet food place for some tasty and healthy food

Very nice staff, they make a good coffee that keep you warm during the winter

Food was great, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame the driver ruined the overall experience with his poor people skills.

The food is very delicious and the staff extremely friendly:)

It was mainly rice rather than salad. The seaweed salad was nice, the avocado inedible. It was very expensive for what it was.

Fried udon noodle beef is good. The noodle is juicy not too dry. Even better with sriracha sauce. Small restaurant with limited seat. Need to sweep the floor a little bit.

The food is ok,but the hygiene need improving.When I ordered my poke,I found a fly on the salmon and needed to ask the staff to make another one. The service itself is fast and staffs are friendly though. Will not be back.

Was drawn in by the smell. Place sits 10 people so no toilet that I seen. Chilled atmosphere. Partner is Chinese so we eat a lot of Asian food. He had chicken & salmon poke bowl. Excellent flavour & texture but there was only one tbsp of meat & fish combined. I had fried veggie noodles which lacked much flavour & had a strange “furry/sticky” texture on the outside due to frying but were Al dente & both a decent portion for a small meal. Accompanied with cheese sausage which are smoked & delicious. And Takoyaki (octopus balls). These were a 2 bite ball with 4 in a portion. All were served with delicious sauces. Shared a bottle of Lavender Kombucha. Fizzy with very delicate flavours. It is a bit pricey for what you get but that does include the utensils & dishes (most of which do not appear recyclable?) & food IS freshly prepared. Good selection of drinks & vegan Veggie options and we would return.

Ordered a Japanese curry with beef. The portion contained 2 tiny paper thin slices of beef (I'd say less than 10g worth of beef in total). As a result, it feels like I've paid ~12 quid for a bowl of rice and sauce. Very disappointing. The place itself is clean and the staff is polite.

Very nice customer service, clean and nice food .

It was delicious, I loved it omg

Great bowls ! Maybe bit small, but still to be recommended.

Fresh and tasty poke bowl, delicious.

Taste was not bad, but the bowl contained 70% rice, the other was chicken, a couple of green beans and a slice of cucumber. When I politely asked for some extra beans or cucumber the guy told me I have to pay extra.

Small cafe with amazing food and great service. Few tables inside and outside, so there’s the option to sit down to eat. I tried the vegan Korean poke bowl and the green smoothie. Absolutely delicious and highly recommended! Yum yum! 😋

Nice place to have a natural fresh juice 🤤

Real food, delicious and also you can chose simple or not simple!

Great poke bowl, wish the meat portion was alive little more and less rice. I forgot to ask if they will do extra meat for extra money.

Great food. Street food served well.

I love bowls! Went here for lunch and got a takeaway vegan Greek bowl and a ginger kombucha. The staff were kind and polite and were prepared quickly! I will have to come back next time I'm in Edinburgh! :D

Low quality of the food. Few proteins.

Been a while since I ate a good bowl like this. Even if you don't like it, the people are so nice you just have to support them :)

Every bowl prepared with so much love just like Sponge Bob. Can only recommend!

We stopped in for a quick lunch and were very glad we did! Welcome from staff was lovely, and my veggie poke bowl was delicious. By central Edinburgh standards it was a very economical, as well as tasty lunch. Thanks and well done Folks!

Poppeed in here for lunch. My phone had died and they kindly chatged it on theeir own charger whilst I ate as I needed samsung pay to pay my bill. I was the only english person in, full of asian customers which is a really good sign! The service and the goid was outstanding. The scottish salmon bowl while looking quite small poke bowl was superbly filling and matched with a berry shake ' i was utterly stuffed. Tfilh loved t0his place! Wish I could have lingered longer bit wax on a quick lunch break x healthy and delicious!

Fresh, crunchy, vibrant goodness! Had the Caesar Salad Poke bowl. Added edamame. Highly recommend :)

Small, basic, overpriced salads. You'd get a better side salad in Asda for a third of the price. And customer service is absolutely appalling.

Great poke bowls and very sweet staff

Very small amount of food for the price. In terms of quality, could have made it at home.

Κάτι ξεχωριστό, κάτι διαφορετικό και το πολύ καλό φαγητό που δοκίμασα.. έμεινα πολύ ευχαριστημένος με την εξυπηρέτηση, με την καθαριότητα, με το φαγητό και τι τιμή! Ευχαριστώ..

Η καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση, τα καλύτερα φαγητά και η έκπληξη που μας ευχαρίστησε πάρα πολύ ήταν όταν Μάθαμε ότι η κοπέλα που έφτιαχνε τα φαγητά, τους καφέδες ήταν ελληνίδα..το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα! ευχάριστο.

Very good food and good service

Excellent coffee and cute environment!!

Excellent food, great portion size and lovely staff. Wish there were more of these about

I asked for a few extras. To start I asked for extra avocado. I received half of a small avocado for 1.50 extra. I can buy a whole avocado for 75p. Bit of a price hike guys. Then there was the tomatoes, plural with my salad. I received half of a cherry tomato. I ordered extra black olives for an extra 1.00. I received four olives for that. I realise folks need to make a profit, but c’mon. I won’t be re ordering.

Small eatery with good vegan and vegetarian options. Really friendly staff and a few spaces to sit in and outside to eat. Great veggie gyoza!

The food was okay, not the best & most certainly not the worst. The issue was the value for money. I paid approx 11.50 gbp for what one can consider a snack portion: Mostly rice with a meagre topping of legumes and chicken, in a bowl that felt jnot much bigger than a large cappuccino cup.

Very cute sit in area and the service was really friendly!! The music playing was a real vibe and the food was VERY GOOD.

Wee cosy restaurant with vegan options, staff were friendly, prices weren’t too bad for Edinburgh, food was banging, highly recommend

The food is tasty, light and filling. One of the yummiest Japanese food

Really tasty poke bowl, there was a good proportion of rice to the other ingredients. The staff were very friendly and pleasant.

I love the Ocean Poke. Fresh and delicious.⭐️ Highly recommended this place!

Highly recommended both the Vegan Bowl and the Korean Vegan Bowl. However, wish I'd gotten a heads up on the spiciness of wasabi sauce 'cause I couldn't finish the meal 🔥🔥🔥 Asked for it without the wasabi sauce on the second occasion and it was perfect.

I just keep coming back for vegan poke! With the yummiest yellow radish and vegan spicy mayo in the mix, I am in love! The staff is so friendly and generous with portions. Poke is very filling. I also love the kombucha here, especially Lime and Salt flavor. Great places to sit and charge your device too. Perfect little spot. A must visit!

Gemütlicher kleiner Laden, die Bowl war sehr groß und super lecker. Ich kam 20 Minuten vor Feierabend in den Laden und wurde total lieb begrüßt.

I LOVE goyoza and these are literally THE best I’ve had!

Portion sizes are suuuper small. The "fresh spinach" was about 2 leaves. Added avocado for £1,50 was maybe a quarter of an avocado at most. Also no spring onions and no fresh parsley. Both of which should've been included!

Went in for dinner and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Great menu selection, especially the poke bowls. Had a lovely, fresh poke bowl and veggie gyoza. Would absolutely recommend!

Order the Japanese curry veggie and with chicken. Absolutely delicious.

The order is supposed to be delivered - but no one came to my flat (3rd floor) and delivered. I got a message saying that it was left in the front door to my building, which is on the main road! I can't rate food quality as I haven't eaten it!

Very friendly staff and lovely fresh food. 😁

Amazing food and service. Got the island bowl and loved the hint of wasabi in the dressing. 10/10 would come back again

A delicious meal, with plenty of healthy ingredients in it! Would highly recommend

Had the classic poke bowl. It's an awful lot of rice for £11.50. Just so much that the other ingredients were lost in the blandness and it didn't taste of much and was quite dry. This shouldn't cost that much.

Good shakes. Fresh tasty poke but the portion is too small for the price. If you're a tall person, you'll get hungry too soon before dinner. Vege gyoza a bit subpar as well.

I was charged nearly £12 for a poke bowl with the most tiny amount of salmon. A really extortionate rate for rice which has been sitting in the rice cooker all day, edamame beans, a little tofu, and about 20g of fish. Perfectly pleasant food but should cost half the price.

Lovely interior and staff! There was a good range of bowls to choose from - we opted for the Korean and Classic poke bowls, which were generally good. The dressing/sauce is heavy on the wasabi - not a bad thing, but something to keep in mind if you’re not a fan. Truffle edamame were nice. Overall it was a little pricey at £32 for two bowls, beans and two coffees, and the coffee was a little burnt-tasting. I’d also love the option for brown rice in place of white, but overall not bad.

It's okay in a pinch, but is way overpriced. Also, parter got a really upset tummy from his food. We should have just gone to Subway next door. Won't return or recommend.

I paid less for the quality foods here. Highly recommend. Very fresh and healthy, I can taste they didn't put salt & msg in their foods as I didn't need to drink lots of water after having the meal. The price is much much cheaper than other Japanese restaurants in the town but the quality was super good. But they close early at 8pm. Wish they could open a bit longer. Will back again.

Portion too small in my opinion. You'll get more for same price in other places. Other than that flavors were good and staff friendly.

Very fresh salmon. Same as Japan! Very tasty and cheap for good salmon. Good quality food. Will come again tomorrow.

Poke bowl 12£ Bon mais portion un peu petite pour le prix. Terrasse bruyante avec la rue. Intérieur ok Pas de toilettes. Pratique car en face du musée histoire de l'écosse

We had ocean poke bowl and Japanese beef curry. Poke bowl taste was ok but far too little salmon and 3 prawns for the price of £12. Curry was bland, and also only few small pieces of beef. Visited the place due to good reviews but won’t come back again.

Same experience as the previous comment. It was very good, but the portion is very small. Still hungry after paying a 12 pounds meal. Adding an extra quarter tiny avocado for 1,5 pound didn't help.

Great food, great and welcoming service

Perfect for a light, fresh and tasty meal near everything. Yummy!

Great staff and great food. A lot of health options as well. I loved that they had a wide range of kombuchas for me to choose from. They also had smoothies which I’ll try next time. Great cafe 👍🏻

This small cafe was great for a quick lunch. I was a vegan and also needed a gluten free lunch, which the staff was able to help my request with no trouble at all. The staff were so friendly and nice it was a great experience. Would highly recommend to friendship and family. 😊

The food is very nice, way better than expected. Staff was very friendly, especially the Greek lady who served me. I would recommend the classic poke and the beef udon. They also serve a range of salads and curry which I wasn’t able to try today but will definitely come back in the future to try.

Taste was good BUT the portion was too tiny comparison to its price of 12£. For that size I would expect only half of its price. I was far too hungry still after the meal. will never dine there again.

Very nice place with lovely food. My partner took the ocean poke and I took the island poke. Very lovely and polite staff
